MdICH ID, 1890.
A church congregation down
in Sanders, KY, was dismissed
most summarily under un-
pleasant circumstances two
Sundays since. Right in the
middle of the preachers dis
course there bolted into the
church through the half-open
door what appeared to be a
black and white cat, closely
followed by a yellow dog. Cat
and dog ran swiftly down the
middle aisle to the platform.
The preacher taken unawares,
did the natural thing, kicked
at the cat, hit it, and landed it
squarely in the middle of the
congregation. Then it turned
out that the cat was a skunk.
The rest Of the story is left to
the imagination of the reader.
This week we want to call
your attention especially to the
ALASKA REFRIGERATOR and
give you a few items concern
ing its construction.
To give strength and dura-
bility, an inside body, or frame
is made of we'll dried, matched
wood, to which hardwood
cleats are solidly nailed. Upon
these cleatS the outer body, or
frame, is built.
The inner frame is made
from perfectly odorless wood,
and is lined with zinc. Po-
lished as bright as mirror,
presenting a very clean and at
tractive appearance.
All exposed wood, as under
the lids and about the doors,
is odorless tulip poplar,
thoroughly shellaced. This
makes the Refrigerator clean
and sweet.
Between the outer and inner
walls sthere is an inch and a
half space filled with PURE
CHARCOAL. There is nothing
so good in every way for fill
ling the space between the
two walls of a Refrigerator as
Pure Charcoal.
The locks are entirely new
in principle, and are, without
exception, the best ever used
on a Refrigerator. They will
keen the door closed perfectly
tight, even if they were left
one-eighth inch loose.
The hinges are very strong,
beautiful in design, and made
expressly for The ALASKA
REFRIGERATOR.
All the trimmings are solid
brass, dipped finish, this being
the latest style in fine brass
goods.
From the results of tests
made during the past three
years, we are convinced that
the ALASKA is the best Re-
frigerator in the market, in
construction. in power to pre-
serve periShableS, in economy
of ice, and, in fact, in all the
points necessary to make them
tirst-claSS in every respect,

upr Agent says They are Not treated
UnjustIV In Raising Rents.
David Kawananakoa, agent of
Queen Dowager Kapiolani, spoke
to BULLETIN representative
about statement in the Adver-
tiser to the effect that her tenants
on Punchbowl were being unfair
ly dealt with in the matter of re-
newal of their leases.
"When they leased their places"
he said, sit was understood that
they were to have them for S25 a
year for five years. The lots are
about an eighth of an acre. At the
end of five years we were entitled
to raise the rent according to cir
cumstances.
"a man who has only one house
is to pay but S25 still. Some,
however, have three or for houses
on their lots, four which they col
lect from So to 81 month each.
In this way they clear 5000 or
$500 year. They have no right,
under the terms OF their leases, to
build houses for rent on their
lots. Yet we have not objected to
their having done so, although, in
view of their advantages in that
respect, we consider it only fair
to raise their rents in the new
leases"

AWAITING A HEARING.
George, John and Frank Morrison, for the AL legged Killing of Negro, Are Behind
 the Bars

George, John and Frank Morrison are awaiting trial behind the bars of the Jefferson county jail They Were arrest ed at their farm on the Cahaba river Thursday afternoon by Deputies John Burgin Tom Jones and George Roebuek on the charge of shooting negro at Ok moor last Wednesday afternoon. The negro is not expected to live and the so- licitor yesterday ordered his dying decla- ration to be taken. There are two or three accounts of the shooting and the details are very difficult to obtain.
 As stated in yesterdays State Herald, the negro was held up and shot, accord ing to one report because he had no money by a drunken party believed to be the Morrisons. Another report says the men, believed to be the Morrisons under arrest made the negro get on his knees and began shooting at him, until, overcome by terror, the negro jumped to his feet and attempted to run away, when he was ruthlessly shot through the lungs. The officers believe that they have the guilty parties.
 A State Herald reporter called at the county jail yesterday afternoon and had a talk with the three Morrison brothers under arrest. They deny stoutly any connection with the shooting, or any knowledge of it beyond what they learned when the warrants were read to them by the deputies. They say that they passed through Oxmoor Wednesday af- ternoon between 2 and o'clock and had had a few drinks, but were not drunk They are typical country youths and say they are not related to the outlaw Nor rison. They will be given a preliminary trial at an early date.

FOR NEGLECT OF DUTY
Night Warden Cunningham Discharged From Police Force-J. B. Marshall Elected
 in His Place.

The police commission met last night to consider charge of neglect of duty preferred by Chief of Police T. c. Me Donald against Night Warden J. H. Cum ningham of the city prison. The charge stated that Warden Cunningham had been absent from his post of duty on the night of April 15 without permission from the chief of police.
 When called on for a statement War den Cunningham said that he was ab- sent on account of being called to his brothers bedside, who was very i'll. He said that his brother was a delegate to the county democratic convention on the night of the 18th instant, but, owing to his illness, had given his proxy to anoth- CT man and had requested him CWarden Cunningham) to attend the convention and see that the proxy was properly voted. He had done so, and had seen the chief at the convention, but did not request leave of absence because he considered himself absent on account of his brothers illness, who was not able to attend the convention
 The commission, however, considered otherwise, for, after deliberating awhile in executive session, Warden Cunning ham was informed by Chairman Ste phens of the commission that the case had been carefully considered, and that the commission adjudged him guilty of the charge, and he was dismissed from the force immediately. "The chief will arrange with you" continued the chair man, and you are herewith relieved from further duty
 Warden Cunningham has been before the commission twice before on preferred charges.
 J. B. Marshall was elected to fill the vacancy caused by MT. Cunningham's discharge, and as there was no further business the commission adjourned.
