SMALL wonder that the delegates
of the American Board of Foreign
Missions travelling by the S. S.
China were surprised and pleased
with their reception and treatment
in Honolulu, Going from busy,
busting America to Japan with its
strange language and burdensome
problems for them, encountering
on the return voyage a terrific
storm, the travellers found here a
brief haven like an oasis on the long
trail of heavy pilgrimage. They
found in Honolulu not only the
many natural charms clothing a
semi-tropical place in midwinter,
but large and important portion
of the citizenship keenly interested
in them and their work. They
found representative group of the
population anxious to entertain
them and evincing anxiety for Their
welfare. The delegates were more
than pleased.

THE Lndepenaem states that the
AdVeytiSer declined to publish a
brief rejoiner by Judge {. F. Hart
to Rev. Serene Bishop, letters from
both gentlemen on the subject un'
der discussion having previously
appeared in its columns. There are
circumstances under which a news
paper is amply justified in refusing
with thanks" a contribution. Thi:
could scarcely be one of them, as
the writer in question is never pro
lix, uninteresting, unfair or any
thing but gentlemanly, scholarly
honest and in good order If the
hdePeAdenf is correctly informed al
explanation from the Adperfise'
should be forthcoming without
delay. 1t might, at the same time
contradict if it can, the current re
port that within a very short time
it tempered with letter submitted
for publication by prominent cler
gyman and used in part This parti
cular letter could in no wise hav,
been Objectionable as it was reel
tai of the facts in a circumstance
in which the writer had been gross
ly misrepresented by the paper.

CERTAINLY the expression OF
satisfaction by STAR stockholders
over the conduct Of the paper ana
printing business for the past year
IS a compliment extremely crafty
ing TO the men shown that earnest
endeavor is appreciated. 1t should
be stated that the present head OF
the commercial department Of the
Association has ably flied the
position made vacant by the sad
death of Mr.. Dodge. The radical
change of a year ago in the papers
affairs was made at a time when its
prospects were not Of the brightest
Now its position is firmly
assured and it is believed that by
care and fairness it has achieved ali

New Zealand is but one Of a score
of governments desiring data on the
successful local battle against chol.
era. The older organizations in
distant countries, with many ad-
vantages over this, view with as
constituent the results of the open
fight made here against the dread
epidemic. They desire most ard
emily to be enlightened as to the
plan of campaign that will conquer
cholera in few weeks, when
climatic and drainage conditions
are favorable to propagation of the
germs. The story might be told in
two words. 1t was aggression
aud cooperation that accomplished
the great work. Movement,
however, was guided by wise coun-
sci. But the victory was made
certain by the enlistment Of every
man, woman and child capable of
effort in behalf of the community
welfare, and besides the masterful
conquest there Is much more to tell.
Such additional work has been car
ried out. and is still under way as
will in all likelihood insure the city
against another such visitation as
that OF last August and September.

There are Two Principles Involved in the
Use Of this Filter;


FIRST Filtration e.. the removal of all insoI
uble matter from the water, rendering it clean and
bright In this the filter is practically perfect.
SECOND Aeration-i. e., allowing the air to be
brought into direct contact with the filtered water
it will be observed there escapes such as all
other filters have The compressed air in the water
pipes is filtered through the stone with the water
This operation tends to oxdze and aerate the filtered
water, giving life and vigor to it. In all other
filters scientists agree that filtered water has fiat
taste to it. Notso in this For these reasons to-
gether with the perfect lock joint AID easy method of
cleaning and taking apart, and simplicity of construc-
ton, these Filters recommended for in every
house hold; they have proved great SUCCESS in
Europe and the United States whore they being
sold in great numbers.
This lot which came in the "a loha" is the first
introduced here, and ask all our friends to
and see the most perfect Filter now in use.

CORN AND WHEAT.

Their Condition as Reported Il the septem-
Der Crop Report Of the Prairie Farmer.
CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-Nhe Sepcem Der
crop report of the Prairie Farmer
shows condition of corn 80, against
condition last year of 65,2. The pres
ent is, with one exception, the high
est conditional average reported at
this date since 1888. During the
month there was some loss of condi-
ton in the Ohio valley and a heavy
drop in Nebraska. The crop is we'll
advanced and there is little proba bill
ity of any frost damage. It is safe to
assume final product exceeding any
previous crop by 100, 200, 900 bushels or
more.
Condition of all wheat shows some
improvement, as there is evidence that
the crop is yielding better than was an
ticipated. Southern Illinois and Mis-
souri, are especially yielding above ex.
pectations, while the threshing in Min
nesota and the Dakotas is showing
about all that has been claimed.
| Threshing so far as done points to a
crop about 25,OOO,OOO bushels larger
than was expected earlier in the sea

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2.-Australian
advices bought by the steamship Mon

other officers, are missing. The steamer
had eighty-one on board, all told. Ac-
counts are conflicting as to the number
saved, which are variously stated at
twenty-five or twenty-five, but the lat

THE PoPE's TEMPORAL POWER.

Catholics ThrouGhout the World TO Hold
Religious Services On September 20 for
Its Restoration.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 2.-Twenty-fve
years ago the 2Oth of September the
church of Rome was shorn of its tenn
poral power. In cofnnemoration of
the event a celebration will be held in
Italy September 30 this year. To off
set this celebrat ton the Catholic church
throughout the world will on the same
date hold religious services in which it
will offer prayers to the Almighty for
the peace and final triumph of the
church and fer the liberty of the holy
see. To this end bishops and archbishops
of various dioceses have promulgated
orders for special services in all the
churches in the diocese. and Arch
bishop Kahn says, in addition, that
should Catholic societies and sodal-
tiles think fit to embody their senti-
ments of sympathy and affection for
the holy father in the form of resolu-
tions, he will forward the resolutions
to the sovereign pontiff.

United Workers Make Fine Showing All
Over the Country.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 3.-The cele-
bration of yesterday threw all previ-
Gus demonstrations of the kind far in
the shade. Labor never made such
another demonstration in the history
of the southwest The parade was
the longest, most representative,
best managed and altogether
the most imposing the united
workers have shown vet. It was
over mile long and the 5, 900 men who
formed it's six divisions made a show
ing of which any city might well be
proud What was more, it formed with
military precision and without the
least confusion, and the order of march
was given promptly on time.
In the afternoon the picnic at Fair
mount park was another grand sue
cess. Considerably over 10000 people
were there. Mayor Davis, of Kansas
City, Hon. Jerry Simpson and Rev. Mr..
Kloss, of Kansas City, Kan, made APP
propriate speeches.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing
the action of the United States SUI
preme court in the case of Eugene V.
Debs. the president of the A. R. o., as
being a blow at labor.
LABOR DAY IN OTHER PLACES.
Labor day was observed generally
throughout the United States. In
New York the weather favored the
celebration, which took the form of
excursions to Coney Island and other
resorts. Striking garment workers
had a parade.
In Boston, Buffalo, Indianapolis and
st. Louis. as well as in other cities, the
day was celebrated with the customary
parades.
Throughout Ontario the holiday was
also observed.
In Columbus, O., there were two pa
rades, the Trades assembly and the
Anti-Trades assem- bly,, due to the fact
that some of the uniforms worn were
not sold by union clerks.
In Chicago, also, there were two
separate celebrations One was the
picnic of the Labor congress, social
istic in it's tendencies, at which Keir
Hardie spoke. The other was parade
and picnic given by the Building
Trades council No attempt was
made to carry the red flag in the con-
gress parade.
| In Washington there was a display
unprecedented in the District of Co.
lumbia. Over 5000 men were in the
parade. All of the executive depart
ments were closed, and very few Off
Gals were at their desks.
Labor day was celebrated in Omaha
rather modestly, but most Of the bust
ness houses closed in honor of the oc-
casion. Numerous gatherings and ad-
dresses were features of meetings al
various parks. An interesting event
was communica ton from E. V, Debs
to Omaha laboring men, read at one OF
the meetings.

All FOurth-Class Postmasters May Soon BE
Under Civil Service Rules.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-The move
ment to bring the scores of thousands
of fourth-class postmasters under the
civil service begins to assume definite
proportions. In a few days a paper
will be established here having the
accomplishment Of that purpose as its
motive power. It is known that the
president looks with favor upon the
main propositions and that the condi-
tons under which it could be brought
about have been seriously considered.
1t is proposed now to educate the
fourth-class postmasters as to the bene-
fits and desirability of civil service
and incidentally organize them into a
compact body which will eventually
take action expressing the conviction
that they should be included in the
classified service. The number of en-
ployes involved is far in excess of those
affected by any order heretofore issued

The Insurance Companies Lodge Five
Charges Against Him.

The Insurance Companies Lodge Five
Charges Against Him.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Sept. when
DR.. George w. Fraker, the life in
surance swindler. who was captured
Sunday in his hiding place in the
forests of northern Minnesota, reached
this city at o'clock yesterday AFTER
noon, he was met by the sheriff of
Ray county. who placed him under
arrest on five charges of at
tempt to defraud and obtain money
under false pretenses. The informa-
ton against Dr. Fraker was drawn up
yesterday by Attorneys Half and Van
Valkenburg, representing the insur-
ance companies and Mr.. Van Valken-
burg went to Richmond, Ray county,
last night and lodged the information
with the prosecuting attorney.
It was in Ray county that DIR. Fraker
pretended. to fall into the river and
drown and as that act was the princi-
pal one in series to defraud the in
surance companies he will be prose-
cuted there.
It was rumored about the govern
ment building to-day that it was doubt
ful if Fraker could be convicted of at
tempting to defraud the insurance
companies, because he had not received
cent of the insurance money. Mr..
Half and J. P. Davis, president of
the Kansas Mutual Life association,
laughed at these reports and said
they had evidence which had not been
made public, but which would GER
tainly send DIR. Fraker to the pen
itentiary. If he is found guilty
on each of the FIVE charges made
against him he may be sent to prison
for thirty five years, seven years
on each charge. At the same time
that criminal prosecution was begun
against DR.. Fraker steps were taken to
recover the insurance money which
had been paid to Judge Lincoln, the
executor of the estate.
