NEVADA CONTESTS.
Populists Start the Ball and Demo-
Gratis Keep 1t in Motion.

The contest for various county
offices in Nevada county, Ark, is
now on in dead earnest, and lively
results expected to follow.
A few days since Alex Vaughn,
Populist candidate for reelection
to the office of circuit clerk, served
notice of contest on O, R. McDan-
iel, Democrat clerk-elect.
Out of a total of about 2300 votes
McDaniel's majority, as shown by
the returns, was eighteen. Vaughn
claims that the election in Leake
township is illegal, and that there
was fraud in the township of EN-
met. His claims are without foun-
dation.
1t is thought enough irregularity
exists to give part, if not all, of
the offices to the Democrats. Be
lieving that true, ]. F. Wallis, Dem
ocratic candidate for representa-
tive, has served notice of contest on
T. W. Hayes, Populist, who was
shown by the returns to be re-elect-
ed. Ed Hood, Democrat, has serv-
ed notice of contest on W. M.
Mum, Populist, for the Office of
Sheriff, also did T. M. Gammage,
Democrat, serve notice on J. S.
Marlar, Populist, for the Office of
treasurer. These contests will be
tried at the next term of the coun-
ty court, which convenes on the
first Monday in October j. A..
Nelson, Democrat, will contest the
right of w. T, Harris, Populist, to
hold the Office of county and pro-
bate Judge The other Democratic
candidates will also contest. In
Boughton township full vote was
not polled, because of the threats
of violence made by the Populist
leaders in this township.

still dry, though it is supposed that
the caved-in earth is resting upon
a vast body of water, Both places
are some seven or eight miles
apart. At Ann Allyn, some miles
from Whitewater, there were sew
eral cavesins of from six to forty
feet in depth. The theories are
various, but none of them so far
are scientific. Not long since a
man was digging a wellin the vicin-
,ty of Plum Grove, and when he
reached a depth of twenty-six feet
the drill shot into an apparent va
cuum and could not be recovered.
All the cave.ins, great and small,
extend in a crooked, streamlike,
distance of twenty-six miles.

sARKANsAs COUNTERFEITERs.

A Washington, D. c., dispatch
announces the capture, on Satur-
day evening, of George Hofey,
alias Waterman, at Ashley, ILL.,, by
Chief of the Government Secret
Service department, Hazen. Hof-
ley, or Waterman, as he is severallY
known, is, the maker of the plates
used by the gang of Arkansas
counterfeiters, recently broken up
by the capture and arrest of its
leaders at and near Jonesboro. The
plate which he counterfeited (the
$40 Manning note) was so well cal
culated to deceive that an Arkan-
sas Sheriff, who made the first ar
rest in the case, sent to the Treas
ury department genuine note
along with one of the counterfeit
notes as samples of the counter
feits. The counterfeit has been
made less than two months and it
is believed that not more than $4,-
900 we're printed. Young Hofey,
who did the work and who is only
about 25 years of age, is believed to
have been at one time employed in
the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, in Washington.
The Wilson brothers, who we're
arrested at Jonesboro, and who
were showing" the counterfeits,
are wealthy stave dealers, They
advanced the money for. the plant,
it is alleged. Young Hohey came
to grief through woman, He was
traced to Buffalo through her and
captured on his return to Ashley
by means of directions sent to the
Buffalo postoffice about forwarding
his mail.

WHITTEMORE McKEwON.

At the home of the brides mo-
ther, Mrs. Mary e. McKewon, at 6
o'clock last evening, occurred the
marriage of George Brown White

only a small company of relatives
and intimate friends being present.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. George H. Cornell and took
place in the parlor alcove, the cou-
pie standing under a floral orna-
ment of golden rod and white roses,
The bride wore dress of brocaded
white satin, with veil, and carried a

LAND GAZING IN.

A Saturdays dispatch from Wich-
tia Kan, tells the following extra
ordinary story;
Land is cavlng in toward the CEN
ter of the earth in the vicinity of
the junction of Harvey, Butler and
Marion counties in this State. Great
excitement prevails among the peo-
pie and many of them are getting
away. The disasters are of most
unaccountable origin, There was
no shock felt when the earth caved
in, nor did it bear any resemblance
to an earthquake. Near Whitewa-
ter on the farm of Thomas Essing-
ton, an area of forty by ninety feet
sunk to depth of 28 feet and when
a man was let down into the hole
his weight alone sunk it nearly
three feet more. This occurred
yesterday and about the same mo
ment an area of seventy square
feet sunk at Plum Grove to depth
of thirty five feet; This was on the
farm of Sid Jones, the sliding car
ryiug in a threshing machine and
separator with it. Water poured
into the latter hole from under
ground till it is filed nearly to the
top, but the hole at Whitewater is

STILL IN CUSTODY.
Failing to Give Bond Prof. G. L. Bry-
ant Is Taken to Jail---Ellis
Resting Easily.

Having, up to Saturday evening,
failed to furnish bail in the requir-
ed sum of $4,000 for the shooting of
Prof. G. 7. Ellis, Prof. G. L. Bryant
was taken to jail at Boston, the
county seat of Bowie county, yes
terday, Sheriff Moore leaving the
city with his prisoner on the after
noon cannon ball. While the effort
to give bond had not proven sue
cessful, up to the time mentioned
above, we understand that Prof.
Bryant expects to make the bond
required for his release sometime
today or tomorrow. He has, fo far
as we can learn, offered nothing fur
ther in the way of a public state
ment of the shooting than the gen
eral assertion of justification, which
appeared in the account of the
tragical event contained in Satur-
urday's issue of this paper Other
requests for a statement of his side
of the deplorable affair, having been
met, as was that made by US, with
general denial of culpability, for
the tragic occurrence, at the same
time declining to make public his
statement of the shooting, togeth-
er with facts and circumstances
leading up thereto, at this time.
THE WOUNDED MANS CONDITION.
Up to the noon hour, today, re-
ports from the bedside of the
wounded man are all of a hopeful
and encouraging character, while it
is, of course, too early for any well
founded prediction, even by surgi-
cal experts, as to the final conse-
quences of the wound or results of
the surgical operation, consequent
thereon. That all the benefits of
modern skill in surgery, together
with kind attention and constant
care, have been afforded the wound
ed man, is certainly true. The DIFF
ficult and dangerous operation,
laparotomy, which was made imper-
ative by the nature of the
wound, is said to have been per-
formed with almost marvellous skill
by DR.. J. A. Lightfoot and his as
sistants, among whom we should
have mentioned DR.. Abel, recently
removed to our city from Shreve-
port, La, who, we have subsequent
1y learned, was among the first to
reach the side of the wounded man,
after the shooting occurred. In
such hands as these it is evident
that every chance which the pa
tient has for recovery will be in
creased to the utmost and all that
human hands can do, will be done
in his behalf. A regards the addi-
tional ante-mortum statement, we
understand that it merely consisted
of the re-affirmation of his first de-
claration, and possibly the addenda
of one or two unimportant details,
together a denial of having, by
overt act, provoked the shooting,
That he may recover all sincerely
hope, while realizing, as yet, that
nothing stronger than hope may be
indulged.

The Best Man

The loysIists of course do not
take any active part in the coming
election to constitutional con-
vent;on. Nevertheless. it IS Of
general interest to see that there
will be some men in the conven-
ton, that cannot be led by the
missionaries and planters. who OF
course viii have the majority
OF the Honolulu delegates, there
are few who might be considered
fairy representative of the com
munity. Judge Robertson will, of
course, be elected by the use Of an
accumulated vote aud the two Por-
tuguese candidates will 80 in, in a
similar manner. There are three
more candidates, and we cor sider
it good policy for those Lot
pledged TO r Fivas or Fernandez
to gather around the best mn
and elect him by an accumula-
tive vote. Mr.. H. Klemme seems
the most Independent and must
liberal Of the candidates. He is
representing the German colony
and he is distinctly auti-mis-
sionary. 1t is safe to state that be
will watch the interests of the
working classes and fight against
all attempts to fill the constitu-
ton with missionary nonsense
like prohibition and old fashion
ed Sunday laws. Messrs. King
Ables and c. L. Carter may all
be very nice and competent men,
but their business is so closely
connected with the capitalists
and planters that it cannot be
presumed that they will take an
independent stand Let all those
who desire to see some fairness
in the convention cast six votes
for Klemme. Although we don't
bother about the convention or
recognize its work we believe in
seeing one man there at least
who has his heart in the right
spot.

Help Cassius Or I Sink

Such the cry of tie Hawaiian
provisional government. The
handful of usurpers who possessed
themselves of the government of
the Hawaiian Islands through the
connivance of the American min
lister and the interference of the
naval power of the United States,
find that hardly a thousand peo-
pie cannot govern 1900 without
the latters consent. They know
that their power is destroyed as
soon as tue American fl G pro-
tects them no longer and con-
tinues TO sustain the despotism
which they have established over
the immense majority of the peo-
pie of those islands. The only
hope for them is annexation. In
that case they think that they
n ay keep the Hawaiians in sub
lection and sustain their present
ill-gotten power.
That matters would turn cut
this way we have predicted
months ago. We then stated
that if the United States should
withdraw their forces. stop their
interference, respect the indepen-
dence of the Hawaiian Islands MS
they are treaty bound to do, and
especially to restore selfgoyern-
ment to their inhabitants, that
the provisional government would
not last day.
We think that it should not be
the policy of the United States to
first upset foreign government
with which we are at peace, estab-
lish a new Government represent
ing very small minority of the
people. and use orr armed force to
keep that minority in power for
the latter VIII have to be done If
the present provisional govern
ment is going TO continue. The

government. The best thing.
therefore. would be to instruct
Minister Willis to embark tie
whole provisional government on
one Of our ships and bring it over
to the United States for safe keep
ing. 1t is our creation aud We
should take care of it before re-
storing seif-government to the
people Of those islands. = Wask-

Any government finding it

and the sooner abolished the
better.
There are individuals claiming

ance and support TO a most in

Territorial Governors in the

garg gets $4,000 for the same
period. No annexation is want

The laborer Is worth his hire.
and according to republican
principles every man should get
exactly what he earns, or what
the services rendered by him
are worth. Mr. Dole gets $1,000
per month-are the services rend
cred by him worth that amount?
Can he earn such an amount per
mouth at all? Would Mr.. Dole
say that his services to this COM
munity were really worth $1,000
per month Z But he takes it
anyway.

The Chinese Bill.

The immigration act that was
before the Councils yesterday
failed to pass. Bot there are
prospects that at the next meet
ing the Objectionable bill will
become law. The committee that
has had the bill under considera-
ton has given way to the planters
all along and the only point on
which firm fight was made was
in regard to the clause that adj
mits the importation of Chinese
as domestic servants. That
clause damns the bill because it
opens a loop-hole for free i'm
migration. And for that purpose
the government favored the re-
tention Of the clause in the bill.
The country would, If this bill
passes, be flooded with Chinese
domestic servants" Mr.. " o.
Smith said the other day that
the competition of Chinese COM
planned Of, by our mechanics and
storekeepers was not created by
domestic servants" That Is
nonsense. Nearly all the Chinese
store-keepers have been "domes-
tic servants" and there is nothing
in tie proposed act that can pro-
hibit any domestic servants"
from establishing himself in trade.
How is the government going to
enforce the clause that provides
for the return of Chinese after the
contracts have expired! 1t is
commonly stated that a pro
minent Chinese merchant will
leave by the next steamer for
China for the purpose of bringing
1000 Chinese agricultural"
laborers to Hawaii. When the
contracts of these 1000 men ex-
pire and the government tells
them to so home it is more than
likely that they will say mo" and
stay right where they are. OF
course the government might try
to use force and pct them bodily
on board the steamer, but even
in spite of Colonel Soper's mil
itsry training Cat the Unreliable
in the Presidio) the government
will find that it has undertaken a
pretty tough job. There is one
point that our wise men haven't
thought of in connection with
this matter and that is, that Ha
wal In her relation to Japan has
assured that country that no
large number of Chinese shall be
imported to Hawaii. The govern
ment will find ont, if really. an
attempt is made to get 1000
Chinese to come here, that the
japanese government hasn't for
gotten the agreement and that it
will make things pretty lively for
the pro-Chinese p. G. of Hawaii.
And we cannot afford to get into
more mess and more eomplica
tons than the "smarties" who
run the shop by the grace of
Stevens have already brought on
this IN fortunate country.
