Higher Prices for Hides.

IN July, 1898, owing to the f.
nancial depression, in the
United States, or other causes,
hides declined in price to the
lowest point ever known. Hides
that in May brought 5 cents per
pound, in July brought only 3
cents. But prices had been
steadily declining for two years,
now change is coming. In
July last prices again started up,
and in the small space Of two
months jump from 81 to ~
has taken place in San Francis
CO markets. These prices are
for the average Hawaiian hide.
This will be cheering news to
the Island butcher, as for the
past year it has hardly paid him
to salt and ship his hides.
All who have hides to sell
will please remember we are
paying the highest prices for
green salted hides.

LIFE TERMFOR MEYER
NEW YORK rOISONER CONVICT
Ed OF MURDER.
Career that Throws the Records OF New
gate in the Shade-HOw His Murders
Human Form.


DR.. Henry C. F. Meyer was convicted
in New York of murder in the second
degree, punishable by Imprisonment at
hard labor for life. His crime was a
long series of murders for the insur-
ance on the lives of the men marked
for victims. The testimony at the trial
revealed only a portion OF what is al
legged to be & career of crime unmatched
in the records of the Newgate calendar
and unrivalled ever by the most grue-
some imaginings of Edgar Allan Poe.
The number of people said to have
been sacrificed by Meyer is not known,
but the indications are that a score of
men and women have been his victims.
Meyer is supposed to have poisoned his
first wife, his own child. an alleged
wife in Toledo: Henry Gildeman, of
Chicago: and Ludwig Brandt. He is
also under suspicion OF having admin
iStered poison to his second wife
(Gildeman's widow, in Chicago: an old
woman in Chicago, and Mary Neiss,
now the wife of Carl Muller. alias
August Winners. The Winners and
Mullers were the most important di-
rect witnesses against him.
Meyer was born in Minden. Prussia,
about forty years ago. He began to

practice medicine in Chicago in 1873.
He got into trouble there over the sus-
piciOus death of his first wife's son
after he had married the widow of
Gildeman. He was arrested, but was
discharged for lack of evidence. About
1888 he married his present wife, the
daughter of a mar named Gressen.
Soon after this Meyer was arrested on
the charge of forging his father-in-
laws name to a heavy life insurance
policy. He was tried and acquitted.
During his detention in jail. Meyer
made the acquaintance of Ludwig
Brandt. who, like himself. was locked
up on a charge of forgery. Brandt
was the son of a General in the Nor
wegian army. When both had been
released, Meyer resumed his practice
in Chicago and employed Brandt as his
collector. In 1891 Brandt was insured
under the name of Gustav Maria JO-
seph Baum for large amounts.
Brandt agreed to help Meyer in MAX
ing a little money out of the insurance
companies. Brandt was to feign sick
ness, a corpse was to be secured by the
doctor and passed off as that of Brandt.
Bsandts death was to be reported and
certified, and when the assurances
were collected the spoils were to be di-
vided.
Meyer persuaded Brandt that it was
necessary to the success OF the plot
that Brandt should pose as the hus-
band of Mrs. Meyer. A marriage cer-
emory was actually performed on Feb.
IL, 1892, and Brandt called at the iu-

10000 men and women that lined the

wildly back and forth in a vain effort
to find assistance. When 400 yards

Myrtle grounded and her anchor ca

air tore the anchors loose, the wind
caught the tattered foresail. it bellied
to the gust, and the Myrtle was fairly
heaved out Of the water. The six men
on board waved their hands frantically.
Suddenly their signals ceased, and
they huddled together around the
broken mainmast. An cid woman
knelt on the tracks in front of Thirty

shrill, penetrating voice that silenced
for al instant the curses OF the frantic
men about her. An instant later an

tracks from the south pushing a fiat

The Battle Of the Ballots a Quiet
One on the Decisive Day.
THE VOTE BY PRECINCTS.

The primary election in the Ashland
DISTRICT passed off with a wonderful
degree of quietness, Notwithstanding
the bitternesses engendered by the
long and unpreoedentedly heated
struggle. This is but another signal
evidence OF the efficiency of tie secret
ballot. Under the old mode of vive
voce voting, there would have been
many fights, and no doubt blood
would would have flowed like water.
AS it was, the day was about the most
quiet, at every voting place in the
district, of any day since the contest
began. The women had no little
hand IN comprising the defeat of Col.
Breckenridge.
The Breckenridge people talk of
oontesting the election, but it will
probably end in talk.
The following are the complete re-
