ABILENE WON IT.
POpULIsT STATE CONVENTION
HERE AUGUST 9TH,
Hutchinson Gets the Little Old Dele
gate Convention That Nobody
Else Wanted Six Hundred Visi-
tors for Three Days.

Abilene is a winner again. The
Populist state central committee this
morning decided on Abilene as the
location Of the Populist state con-
vention to nominate a state ticket.
1t will be held here commencing
Wednesday, August 9th and continue
about three days. Six hundred dele
gates as well as scores Of other yisi-
tors will be present and the meeting
will be in many respects the largest
ever held in the city.
Hutchinson gets the convention to
select delegates who are to 60 to the
Pop national convention, but it is a
minor honor. That convention can
do its work in half a day and will
have but q small attendance.
The victory for Abilene is victory
Of the western Kansas fellows over
the Pop ixers at Topeka. The latter
were against Abilene. Two Of them
came up the other day and offered
Abilene the delegate convention but
this town refused to take it. Then
they went into deal with Hutchin-
son and tried to swing it that way,
All the Topeka papers yesterday
afternoon came out with remarks
that while Abilene was a candidate ii
was generally understood that it
would not get the state convention
which shows that the Topeka papers
did not know it all. Emporia had
large delegation present but could
make no headway against Abilene's
hustlers. The victory shows what
can be accomplished when the town
will cease quarreling and all factions
work for the good Of the community
Republicans, Democrats and Populists
worked together on this and won
The job Of entertaining the conven'
tion will be a large one but Abilene
will prepare for it and do its work
well.
The basis Of the conventions dele.
IRstions TO the Abilcae convention Il

and one delegate for each 25O votes
cast for Lewelling in 1894, making
800 in all. For the Hutchinson con.
vention, one delegate at largefor eacf
county and one for each 500 votes
cast for Lewelling, making 400.
The band met the Abileneites wht
went to Topeka as they returned thi'
afternoon and gave them good re
ception.

Preferred to Come Home.

When Ben Smith, the big, jolly
farmer OF southwest Dickinson, went
to Chicago the other day it was with
the intention Of having one leg
amputated in hope of saving his life
But he came home Sunday without
having it done. When he reached
the hospital he learned from the
physicians that his days were num-
bered anyway and that considerable
danger existed that the amputation
might be fatal. So he gave it up and
returned. DR.. Hazlett will perform
an intermediary operation tomorrow
and this it is thought will prolong
bis life for some time. He is suffer
ing from hip disease.

CLOSING PERFORMANCE.
Wirth's Circus Tent Crowded tC
the Doors.

The entertainment of Wirth's
circus last night was the most sue
cessful that has been presented
since its advent in Honolulu.
A large number of society people
were at.the entertainment. Officers
of the l. s. S. Bennington were
prominent among those present.
Every seat in the house was taken,
and people were standing at avail
able places.
The entertainment was satisfac-
tory throughout. Lahl Sing pro-
duced the sensation of the evening.
His splendid riding was the cause
of frequent applause. His great
bareback feat took the audience by
storm. Twice he jumped from the
ring to the. back of the
horse going at full tilt.
He was obliged to respond to the
continued calls. A somersault was
not sufficient. He was forced to
make another jump and eclipsed
all other efforts at this time.
What pleased the audience was
the introduction for the first time
of a Hawaiian pony which the
favorite lady, Miss Lyndhurst, rode
in the most becoming style.
At the beginning of the second
part it rained. The tent became
soaked, and very soon all sorts OF
shawls and wraps made their ap-
pearance on the shoulders of ladies
in the audience But that did not
mar the proceedings. Everything
went along as usual.
One of the events OF the evening
was the farewell of little Murlel
Wirth to the people of Honolulu
She rode around the ring scattering
buttenhole bouquets from a basket
which she carried. Each bouquet
was kissed before throwing.
Throughout the whole evening
the audience was entertained and
amused, and everyone was sorry
that Wirth's circus was on the eve
of departure.

FIRE ON THE MONOCACY.
The United States GunbOat Ser
iously Endangered.

VICTORIA, (B. c., Jan. 10
Officers of the Empress of Japan
announce that a few days before
they left Hongkong an accident OF
a rather serious nature occurred
aboard the United States gunboat
Monocacy, which nearly resulted
in the destruction of the vessel and
the foreign settlement. One of the
crew went below to the storeroom,
in which was a quantity of loose
oakum. The man carried a naked
light, which set fire to the oakum
and a big blaze resulted. The alarm
being given, the crew were at once
ordered to fire quarters. After
laboring half an hour the fire was
got under control, which was most
fortunate, as the magazine was full
OF powder, gun cotton and dyna-
mite. As it was, the officers were
on the point of scuttling the ship

IN THE BEGINNING

OF the new year, when the winter sea-
son of close confinement is only half
gone, many find that their health be-
gins TO break down, that the least ex-
posture threatens sickness. 1t is then,
as well as at all other times, and with
people even in good health, that the
following facts should be remembered,
namely: That Hoods Sarsaparilla
leads everything in the way Of medi-
cines; that it accomplishes the great
est cures in the world, and requires the
largest building in the world devoted
exclusively to the preparation Of the
proprietary medicine. Does not this
conclusively prove, if you are sick, that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is the medicine for
you to take?
