have a high esteem, and among whom we num-
Der some Of our best friends No slur indeed
such a statemen Is refreshing in the face OF a
sentence like the following. 1--WE do not pro-
pose, and indeed IRE kaoJ0 too much of a consi-
derable portion of the young men of Honolulu,

are mine. Comparing these last two extracts,
the inference one i tempted to draw, Is that the
young men of whom he knows too much to
strongly defend, are those whom he numbers
among his best friends.
In sayingi in his last issue that had he been writ

young man in a hundred Is studious, he simply

OF the young men there are of a thoroughly
studious habit. Multitudes of young men are
members of debating clubs and mutual improve
ment societies, are sunday-school teachers and
the like, for all of which considerable study Is
required. Young men in lawyers offices now a
days are very different to Mr. Richard Swiveller
as a rule, and study hard to attain the higher
grades of their profession. Look at the Admiral

AFORGER CAPTURED.

In 1879, a man calling himself Alb Oh
endorf opened a sort of commission house
in Davenport, and was the agent of Oben-
dorf, Lindheimer s. Co., of Chicago, ex-
tensive commission men. He opened an
account with the Citizens Bank and nsed
to draw on the house, attaching bills OF
lading to the drafts. for whatever amount
he wanted For time these drafts were
honored, and the bank lost nothing, but on
Sept. is, 1876, he overreached and was
detected. On that date he presented a
draft for 1875, with bill of lading attached
calling for 81 900 pounds of lard. This
the house in Chicago refused to honor,
claiming that the bin of lading was exees-
sive. Inquiry was made, and it was dis
covered to be a forgery he having chang
ed the bill from three tierces to fifty three,
and the weight. 1000 pounds, to $1,000,
placing the figure 2 before the weight This
receipt was signed by Mr. Hill, agent of
the G. R. I. s. P. company and caused his
detection.
The forger scented trouble and left the
city on short notice, coming to Rock Isl
and and thence to ST. Louis, where he
took the train for Kansas City. The Citi-
zens' Bank have been keeping detectives
on his track ever since the forgery, and
Chief Kessler of the Davenport police
force, has tracked the man from place to
place, until he was finally captured al
Denver, Col, working as a day laborer,
and brought to Davenport for trial The
prisoner is said to be most excellent bus
mess man, is related to the senior member
of the firm he defrauded, and had no good
reason at the time he committed the forg
cry TO act other than honestly. Fast wo
men and gambling, however, are said to
have wrought his downfall Chief Kesslel
arrived with his man to-day, and a prelim-
mary trial win be held tomorrow.

ROBBERY IN MOLINE.

The residence of George d. Woodward,
at Moline, was entered by burglars last
night and lot of clothing, silver watch
some jewelry and $25 in money taken.
An entrance was effected by forcing open
the door of the kitchen, and then picking
the lock of the dining room door. An at
tempt was made to get in through the
window of the bed room, but this must
have failed, as the fellows concluded the
kitchen door was the proper place to enter.
The burglars are supposed to be of the
same gang that has been operating in this
and adjoining counties for the past three
weeks The house entered is near the
large mandatory of Barnard & Leas,
where Waterman is employed night and
day. 1t is thought by some that the inten-
ton was to rob the office of the factory at
the same time, but that the job was too
much for them.
This morning Officer Kelsey of Moline
was here looking up clue, and Marshal
Fish and Officer Henderson started north
in hopes of catching the burglars. They
probably are safe from arrest by this time.

THE BICYCLE CHAMPIONS.

The Selbini & Wilton Troupe of Bicyclers
are with the Great Foregaugh Show The
entire troupe will appear at each exhibition
mounted upon steel bicycles, with driving
wheels of the largest description, and on
their bicycles circling the arena at a speed
of twenty miles an hour they turn somer-
saults from shoulder to shoulder. There is
no exaggeration in this statement. 1t is a
truthful and plain announcement, an abso-
lutte fact, and all who attend the Great
Forepaugh Show will see this the most
marvellous and miraculous performance
ever beheld in a circus ring. Upon these
same bicycles, speeding at the terrific rate
of twenty miles an hour, they form living
pyramids with their bodies, one climbs and
stands upon the shoulders of the wheel
man another ascends and stands upon
the shoulders of the one already in
erect position the bicycle all the while
spinning around the arena at the
rate of twenty miles an hour These cham
ion and only gymnastic performers and
riders upon the rubber hoofed steed, here
as elsewhere, are calm. forth immense
throngs to witness their inconceivable con
quest of gravitation. 1t is now, and ever
will be, a wonder how these marvellous
men. perched en- modern bicycle, propel-
led at speed Of twenty miles an hour, can
carry two and even three person in erect
positions upon the shoulders of the wheel
man. and how three persons can engage in
tricks of juggling, somersaulting from
shoulder to shoulder, forming pyramids,
ETC., etc, and all preserve perfect equili-
brium upon the one-wheeled, writhing run
Mig, tickle bicycle. Yet all this, and more,
is done by the great Selhina s. Wilton
