COMPANY DIS ELECTION.
Sergeant BergstrOm Elected First
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, Etc.

Sergeant Bergstrom Elected First
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, Etc.
Every one that knew anything
about the affairs of Company d
were sure that there would be some
fun at the election for first lieut.
enant last night, but in this they
were very much disappointed. The
election was one of the tamest and
most uninteresting in the history
OF the company. Where the black
horses had gone was a mystery.
They did not so much as stick
their heads in at the door.
Captain Camara, who had charge
of the election in place of Captain
Broome. absent on Hawaii, an
nounced as the business of the even
ing the election of a first lieuten-
ant. Sergeant Bergstrom, Lieut.
enant Rowell and Sergeant CrOzier
were in turn nominated. for the
position. Sergeant Crozier resign
ed, leaving Sergeant Bergstrom
and Lieutenant Rowell in the field.
The work was over in very lit
tie while. Sergeant Bergstrom
was elected first lieutenant by a
vote of 20 to 9.
When called upon for a speech
the newly-elected lieutenant ex-
pressed gratitude for the honor con-
ferred. He promised to work dill
gently for the best interests of the
company.
Company D then adjourned to
the drill hall, where one of the
Driggs-Schroeder rapid firing guns
had been placed. Colonel Mclean
assembled the men around the
piece and gave a clear explanation
of its superiority over the Austrian
gun, as we'll as lucid demonstra-
ton of its makeup and action
The men were much interested In
the gun, and made many inquiries
after the Colonel had finished his
explanations.
Songs, speeches and dancing
wound up the meeting.

Sure of His Train Time.

"What time will that train be in,
do you think?" asked the impatient
man.

ed the agent of the little Southern
branch line in the presence
of a Cincinnati Tribune reporter.
''Sence Bill's tree was cut down

"Bill's tree!"
"Yas, Bill; he is the conductor,
you know. The tree | was speak

along and the shadder of the tree

down and all Bill has to 60 by is

NATIVE WITH A HISTORY.
Kaahanui Acted as Guide for the Rebels
During Revolution.
The Woman he Tried TO XIII was Faith
fuI During the Revolutionary
Period-Army Pilots.

J. Kaahanui, the man who at
tempted the life of a woman at
Niolopa Tuesday night, has quite
a history. He and the Kupihea
girl were at Kaalawai on the night
of jar. 6, 1894, when the trouble
with the rebels stationed there be-
gan.
When Robert Wilcox and his
followers crossed the mountains to
escape the military force OF the
Government, Kaahdnui was the
man who led the way and showed
the refugees the intricate paths to
take in order to escape detection.
Kaahanui was helped in this by
Miss Kupihea, who seemed to cling
to him more closely at that time
than she did when he was working
out a 800 fine in Jail.
When Wilcox and his gang were
safely piloted over, Kaahanui and
the woman branched out for them
selves and avoided falling into the
hands of any of the searching par
ties. What became of them was
not known, but it is supposed they
went to KOOlau.
At all events they did not appear
again upon the scene until the
COT TT martial was ended and things
had quoted down. They had been
living again at Niolopa for short
time only when Kaahanui was
arrested and sentenced to pay a
fine of 800 for playing che ia.
This he had to work out, having
no money to pay the fine. The
story of his return home and the
subsequent shooting and attempt
at suicide was detailed in yester-
days ADVERTISER.
Both Kaahanui and the Kupihea
woman were formerly lei and fern
vendors and knew all the ms and
outs of the mountains of Oah".

Chas. Hawkins Wagon.

Two men from the Bennington

Hawkins buggy last night, and
one of them was locked up for his
vagaries. Mr.. Hawkins tied his
horse on Beretania street opposite
the Commercial saloon last night
about o'clock and went to visit a
friend in the vicinity. Returning
to the place where he had hitched
his horse, Mr.. Hawkins found that

then he saw a policeman and a
man-of-war's man driving toward
the police station in it.
The officer had found the buggy
in the rear of the Commercial
saloon with man sound asleep in
it. A Gao was found on the seat,
Indicating that another had been

HAS NO LEGAL RIGHTS.

A Sweeping Decision Aimed at the Kansas
 City Live Stock Exchange.
 KANSAS CITY, Mo, Sept l0.-By a decision rendered yesterday the appel late court of the state of Kansas says that the Kansas City Live Stock ex. change is illegal, and has no legitimate existence. It goes further and says that its existence is contrary to the statutes of the state, and that in con. sequence thereof person or firm, a member of the exchange, cannot sue for rights under its contract with that body, because such contracts are not legal, and are therefore null and void, and cannot be recognized by the courts. The matter came up on an appeal from the district court of Wyandotte county. Greer, Mills & Co. sued to enjoin the eX- change from suspending them from membership because of their failure to pay fine of sl, 900 for violation of the rules in regard to commission charges in the purchase of stock. The district court refused the injunction and an ap. peal was taken. The appellate court bases its decision on the fact that the rules of the exchange with reference to commission charges and other mat. ters concerning the commission busi. ness are illegal and in violation of law.

The Treasury Department Afraid It WNl
 Have to Call Halt.
 WAsHINaTON, Sept. 10.-The treasury officials are in daily receipt of large number of requests asking for silver dollars of this years coinage for silver certificates or other lawful money. Many of these requests come from per sons who seem to doubt the truth of the monthly coirage statement, while others ask for shipments of 1898 dollars with view to rejuting statements that no silver dollars arc now being coined. There is now in the treasury SIG, ,5O6, 399 in free silver. that is. silver which may be obtained in ex- change for any lawful money, but the demand just now is so keen for 1896 dollars that it seems probable that by the beginning of Oc- tober the department will be compelled to decline to pay out silver dollars, ex- cept in exchange for silver certificates or treasury notes of 1890. The law re- quires certain amounts of silver to be held in the treasury to cover outstand- ing silver certificates and treasury notes and when the minimum is reached silver payments will be refused even in exchange for gold or in payment of warrants on the treasury. The mum. Der of standard silver dollars coined during last August is shown by the official statement to have been g., 65O,- 900; since February l last, Sl1, ,412, and since November. 1893, $l5, ,l69, 491. The coinage value of the stock of bull. lion now on hand and on which the hints are now at work is $l66, ,745, 200 and it is said to be altogether proba ble that coinage will be continued at least until the stock on hand of standard dollars of 1890 has been increased to about s3o, COG, ,OOO, where it stood when the present administration came into office

The Ohio Public Man and Financier vic-
 tim of Paralysis.
 CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 10.-Ex.Senator Henry B. Payne died yesterday from a stroke of paralysis sustained several days ago. Henry B. Payne was born in Madison county, N. Y., November 30, 1910. In 1s46 hemorrhages of the lungs compelled him to abandon his chosen profession, the law, and he em- parked in railroad, manufacturing and mercantile enterprises. MT. Payne's 8 first political preferment was when he was chosen to the state senate as a democrat, in 1S49, where he served that year and the next. In 1851 he was the candidate of his party for the United States senate, but was beaten, and in 1851 Salmon P. Chase defeated him for governor by narrow margil. He was chairman of the Ohio delegation in the 1872 Baltimore convention. Two years later he was elected to congress, where he was chairman of the electoral bill commission, and also of the electoral commission. In 1880 he was an un. successful candidate for the presiden. tisl nomination. In 1884 Mir. Payne was elected to the United States sen. ate to succeed George H. Pendleton. When his term expired in 1891 he re- tired to private life. He had accumu' lated fortune estimated in the mil. lions. Much of his means he devoted to philanthropic enterprises

This is the last word from those who talked with him when he was at ex-Secretary Whitney's house to receive Lii Hung Chang.

He thinks that everybody must under. stand that he prefers the election of Mckinley and Hobart on the present issues to the election of Bryan and Sewall, although of course he would prefer the election of Palmer and Buckner, if it were possible, on the Indianapolis platform, to which, it is said, he most heartily subscribes
