LIES ABOUT DIES MONIES,
IOWA.
MERCHANTS OF THAT CITY CORRECT
FALSE STATEMENTS-INCR
ING PROSPERITY.
TEMPERANCE MAN No. III.

Dies MONIES, Iowa, June 49,
Some of the leading business men
Of Des Moines, desiring to correct
the widespread and persevering
misrepresentation of the effects of
prohibition here, have prepared the
following statement for the press
During several years past the
whiskeY press Of the country have
made frequent reference to Des
Moines, charging all the alleged
misfortunes of the city to the effects
of prohibition. The ISLANDERS that
have been circulated have Of course
had no effect on well-informed peo-
pie, but some who are not fully adj
vised as to the real facts may have
formed a wrong impression as to
the effects of prohibition upon the
growth and prosperity of a city.
1t was constantly charged and re-
iterated by the anti-prohibitIon
press that the prosperous city OF
Des Moines had been practically
killed by the probibitory law; that
thousands of people were leaving
the city annually; that business of
every kind was langulshing; that
houses were empty and for sale on
every block, and in short, that the
city was quite as dead as Julius
Caesar.
"Of course these were SANDERS
manufactured out of whole cloth.
The city undoubtedly suffered some
by reason of such talk as this. for
it takes pretty good town to
stand that sort OF advertising.
Neverthe the Government CEN
sus shows the population of Des
Moines has increased 140 per cent.
in the last decade. That doesn't
look much like gong into a de-
cline. 1t is true that it is Prohi-
bition city. 1t has a population to-
day of not less than $4,000 people,

ing districts are hurryIng into the
city for protection.
A gentleman who has lived for
twenty-six years in the European
colony outside the walls of Shang-
haze. and who has had intimate ac-
Quaintance with the people OF the
country, tells reporter of the San
Francisco Chronicle that just as he
was leaving Shanghae it was re-
ported that the rebels were on
their way down the river Yang
tsi Kiang) in great numbers, with
the avowed intention of plundering
and burning the settlement of 500
chow, some seventy or eighty miles
from the city. As soon as this re-
port reached the commander of a
French man-of- war, then lying in
the river in front of the old walled
city, or Shanghae proper, he at
once notified the Taotai, or mayor,
that the moment the rebels entered
the town where the French Jesuits'
school and church are situated. he
would open fire on the city.
The French flagship with u
squadron lay at the mouth Of the
river, and though the faghship
herself cannot cross the bar, there
are always suficiency Of small
craft, both French and English, on
the China station especially adapt
ed for river work.
MIR. Bennett, the merchant from
Shanghai, says it is well known
that when missionaries in troubled
districts seek to telegraph to their
European friends in the city, the
Chinese officials refuse to send the
messages or deliberately destroy
them, whether from personal pre-
JUDGE or by instructions from their
Government is not quite clear.
However, he adds, it is idle to
talk of any general and successful
uprising Of the people under exist
ing conditions, Large sums have
been expended in bringing the army
and navy to state of perfection;
the army is ready for any such
contest as appears to be appre-
hended, and with the advantage of
constant drill under officers versed
in the art of civilized warfare, the |
rebels could not hope to meet it on
the field of battle.
Nevertheless, alt is the opinion
Of those whose views are entitled |
to weight that the attacks now
are to be more seriously
considered than previous troubles"
Another eminent authority, Mr..
Drummond, recently wrote a long
etter discussing the situation, and
lie took this view Of it.

this and other lands that we are
not slow to reward our own heroes
as other nations reward theirs. No
people can be too poor to recognize
the daring of these Hawaiian sail
ors, especially of that heroic boy
who was dashed to the masthead,
as Farragut was lashed to the rig
ging of the Hartford, that he might
be in the post of greatest danger,
and be of the greatest service dur
ing the battle. Don't let America
surpass HAWAII in honoring true
bravery of her native sons.

GALE AT KA WAIHAE, HA-
WAU.
A Brave Act of Humanity-Four-
teen lives Saved.
[From our own Correspondent.l

|
On the morning of Saturday
July 18th, q terrible gale sprung
up. and, with such suddenness,
that three canoes, containing thir-
teen men and a boy, were blown of
to sea and upset. The waves were
running to u tremendous height,
and many an old salt would have
hesitated at putting to sea in such
a storm. One of the three canoes
after battling with the waves till
noon, managed to reach Puako
with its owner cllnging to it for
life.
At the first intimation of the
accident, Mr.. Hookuanui of Ka.
walhae generously offered his fine
sIoop for the rescue of the fisher
men, and Mr.. Kanehakn, an old
sea-dog, at once accepted and
started to raise u volunteer crew.
They were soon ready, five all
told, and with cheer they showed
off to the rescue Of their fathers
and brothers. One boy was lash
ed with ropes halfway up the main
mast, and there, in this all but en-
viable position, he stayed for hours
scanning the horizon as best he
could in every direction, for
glimpse of the unfortunate men.
The sloop headed for Kahoo-
lave, as the seas were running
high in that direction, and in a
few minutes Mahukona was
but a mere speck, such was
the speed at which they sailed.
The sun was now setting, and the
crew We're wet and cold, but the
sloop still kept on, lacking here
and there. Lower yet the sun
dropped to the horizon. Should
darkness set in, all hopes of finding
them would be gone. Eyes were
strained in every direction, but the
binding spray prevented one from
seeing any great distance. At last
a shout came from the lookout en-
the sloop. There they were, tossed
like feather on huge wave, the
men clinging with despair to their
frail crafts; some weak, some yet
strong in the hope that help might
If you have never been in such
peril, reader, you cannot imagine
the feelings of these men, dashed
about by the waves for hours and
hours, expecting every moment a
voracious shark to come and end
their sufferings. But Providence is
good, however unfortunate some
may be, and the sight Of the little
sloop cheered their hearts and gave
them fresh strength for the final
struggle. They were soon on
aboard, and every care admins
tered to them The sloop and its
gallant crew tackled about and
reached Kawaihae late III the night.
The men had been clinging to
their canoes from early morning
till sunset, and some Of them were
very weak and could not have held !
out much longer. Had darkness
set in before the sloop found them,
they were lost.
Mr.. Editor, should not the Gov
eminent recompense bravery of |
such q kind as this? The kind |
offer also, by its owner, of a $1,000 |
5loop to go out and brave such a
storm is not a very frequent occur
renee. Fourteen lives saved GALL |
HawaiiansJ deserves more than a
mere word of thanks. A gold or
silver medal with a suitable in
'cription would be q fit recognition
IN the part OF the Hawaiian Gov
,rnment of the bravery Of each of
hese men, not leaving out the
,wner Of the sloop.

The saving of fourteen lives in a
gale off Hawaii, as narrated by our
correspondent, is an act of heroism
deserving public recognition. We
know nothing more than what is
told by him, and we doubt not that
the story is in the main correct.
If the facts prove to be SO, then
those brave men who imperled
their own lives to save the lives of
others under heavy risks deserve a
recognition from this Government,

THE custom house statistics pub
lished in another column, possess
little interest besides the large ex-
port Of sugar during the first half
of this year as compared with last
year. 1t now looks as though our
total sugar export for 1891 might
considerably exceed that for 1890,
which was 259,79S,462 pounds.
This, however, is not certain, as
nearly all the plantations have fin
ished grinding for 1891, and it is
difficult to estimate what the re-
naming half year will turn out.

you want We're going to
tell you.
If the grass is very long, get
a Pennsylvania high grass cut
ter. It will work Just as well
in short grass as any other,
but the ordinary mower will
NOT do for high grass.
If you manage with that
antiquated affair you've been
using to keep the grass shout
but ragged, we advise you to
get one of our Pennsylvania
or New Easy Lawn Now
ers. Either of them will do
the work and you may not re-
cognize your lawn after its
improved appearance.
When you have cut the
grass nicely you will want a
new piece of hose-rubber
hose, mind you, not merely
called rubber, but made of
rubber. We have it. After
that you want a sprinkler that
will throw the water broad
cast and give the best substi-
tute for a natural rainfall. The
California" Sprinkler is the
one to do this. We sell them.
Procure the articles we have
mentioned, water your lawn
night and morning and it will
look like a bed of emeralds.
Now is the time to improve
your garden, and we have all
the tools necessary to help you.
What do you do about spoons
for your after-dinner coffee?
We have some that will tickle
your fancy, and they're cheaper
than the cheapest.
You may not know it, but
we have the only genuine
lockwood Pottery for sale on
these islands. For decoration
it is superior to anything Of the
kind made. The color gener-
ally is a dark brown, and the
vines and flowers modelled on
the pieces are as delicate as
nature. Some pieces are use
full. Chocolate jugs, smokers
sets, and small pitchers for in
stance. No two pieces alike
when one is made the mould
is destroyed. No danger of
you neighbor copying your
good taste.
Silverware is an odd thing
for hardware people to deal in,
but it is customary here and
we have the best-same as
everything else. Choice bits,
odd designs in smokers sets
and champagne holders and
the best shakers for-lemon-
AIDES we have ever seen. They
for something stronger
Just as we'll.
Silveri ice tongs for the table
are useful and pretty. Some
we received by the last steam
er are rather better than the
asst lot, and you're bound to
ike them. If you use cracked
zee at table you will find them
more convenient than a spoon
and they look better.
Engraved glass tumblers
are prettier than plain ones
and just as cheap. We have
them in many styles and sizes
and you're hard to please if
We can't suit you. We study
your wants and seldom fail to
give satisfaction either as to
quality of the article you buy
or the price you pay for it.

 tions for Memorial Day.
 The Grand Army men who attended tho Saturday evening meeting of the Admiral Foote Post were entertained by Post-Com- mander Strickland, who read an interest ing historical article on 'The First and Second Division of the Second Army Corps" In the course of his paper, he said: "This division lost more than any other body of men of the same number in the world. The division was composed of about 15, 900 men, The losses of each regiment were detailed and the battles enumerated, which showed indeed that the division saw war in it's most gory as pect in multitude of bloody fights.
 Comrade J. Wilson Kinyon of Proyi dence, who was present, made very anus ing speech and recited one of his many pieces of original poetry. MT. Kinyon, who is an entertaining speaker with an ample fund of funny stories, is always called on for remarks when he visits the meetings of Admiral Foote post.
 Two new members joined the post at the meeting.
 The post will attend service at the Col lege street church on Sunday evening, May 24, by invitation of the pastor, Rev. Dr. McLane. On Memorial day details from the post will start at ii g. m. for the different cemeteries and decorate the graves. At 3 p. m. the head of the pro cession will move from the Green under the command of Marshal Embler. The city battalion, Governors Horse and Foot Guard, Gatling Gun company, signal corps, hospital corps, police, fire depart ment, have been invited.
 | Probably 8 majority of these companies will accept the invitations and escort the G. A. R. posts and the Sons of Veterans Some fifteen to twenty members of the Twenty-ffth regiment, New York volun teers, are expected to come up on the boat the night before and be the guests of Ad- 1 miral Foote post.

Two Practical serm.n.

Two able and practical sermons were preached yesterday in the Church of the Messiah by the pastor, Rev. L. H. Squires. The morning theme was stProfit and Loss in Life" The sermon was based on the text, "What shall it profit . man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul" The lesson of the sermon was the developing of character. In the eve ming the topic was, ''Unruly Tongues. /" The speaker read from St. James and took for his text, t'The tongue is an unruly member" After deprecating the slander- ous stories that are being circulated by malicious persons and not infrequently by well disposed but thoughtless people, who unwittingly add much to that which they hear until that which was first mere ru- nor becomes a stupendous fact, the speaker exhorted his hearers to speak carefully and charitably and thus pattern after him ''in whose mouth was no guile, D The singing by the new, chorus choir is excellent and with the recent accessions to the choir the prospect is that the singing will continue to please the audiences which gather from week to week at the Church of the Messiah.
