Planning for IA Great Base Ball Game
to BE Played at Kahulu.

Capt. Conradt, of the Star base ball
club, is working up "a scheme to play
the champion club of Maui at Kahulu
i'm the near future. 1t is likely the
Lahana club will be challenged as it
seems to have the swing this year. If
arrangements are effected it is. not
likely that the full team can go, but
enough will get off, together with
good substitutes, to make it interest
ing for the Lahainaites.
Kahului is selected as the place for
the game on account of its being most
centrally located with respect to pop
ulation. The club can go up on the
Kinau on Friday and return by the
Claudine Sunday morning. 1t is under
stood that the Wilder S. S. Company
will give the boys excursion rates be-
tween the islands and run extra trains
for the accommodation of the public
in the big little towns around Kahu-
lui.
The trip will likely be arranged for
two weeks from next Friday. An en-
deavor will be made to have the game
in an enclosed ground so as to pay eX.
penses of the trips of both clubs. How.
ever, if this cannot be done the Star
club will go anyway and foot the bills

Curious title for soda water talk,
isn't it? But its important. Well
tell you something interesting for
you to know
Experience has shown that the
block-tin lining of soda tanks, the
containers in which the soda is car
donated, don't last but a few years.
When this lining is defective and
the tank is copper, someone is sure
to be poisoned. 1t won't kill you,
but it will produced seasickness
that won't be relieved until the
poisoned soda is up.
Now, steel tanks are absolutely
safe. We use them exclusively.
Should the lining of block-tin be
defective no harm results. There S
no poison in steel. If it leaks, we
know it. 1t won't keep its pres
sure and it is laid aside
No one has ever been poisoned
by drinking our soda. We have
always taken the best precautions.
We leave nothing to chance, Nc
safety in any other plan.

Farmer Finds Long Buried told.

Brooklyn, n. Y, July 2O.-Daniel
Wandell, farmer of Concord, yesterday
dug up on his farm an old dinner pot
which contained about $4,000 in gold
eagles and half-eagles. The money was
buried, he says, over thirty years ago by
his mother.
The farm has been in the Wandell
family tor nearly century. In the
early days they did not take their treas
ure to banks, but buried it about the
place. Daniels mother, before she died,
told him of a mysterious buried treas
ure. He was assured that such treas
ure existed, but he never came across it
until yesterday, when a railroad company
had gang of men engaged in digging
holes for trolley poles along the borders
of his properly. Mr.. Wandell was help
ing the men. Suddenly his spade struck
hard substance. The treasure stories
rushed to his mind. He dug on, and
unearthed the pot. 1t was quickly lifted
and the money discovered.

Practical JOkers Shot.

Tarpon Springs, Fla, July 19.-As
the result OF practical joke two men
are likely to lose their lives. Last night,
as j. j. Saunders, the station agent at
Ozona, near here, was about ready to go
home, the office was entered by four
masked men, who demanded the KEYS.
Saunders refused to give them up, but
when the men threatened to kill him he
said he would get the keys out of his
desk. He pulled open drawer, but
instead of getting the keys he seized a
pistol and opened fire on the men. Two
of them fell wounded. The others ran.
When the masks were torn from
wounded men Saunders found he had
shot Will Dixon and Warren Whitehurst,
sons of prominent citizens. They are
very badly wounded and may not recov-
er. They refuse to give the names OF
the two men who fled, and say they en-
tered the Office in pursuance of a plot to
give Saunders scare.

A Desperate suicide.

Washington, O., July 19-Edward
Cole, aged %. snare drummer for the
newly-orgenized Mckinley and Hobart
club, laid down in front of a fast Balti-
more 4 Ohio train to-day and was cut to
pieces. He and Mary Hardin, his sweet
heart, were out walking.
When they reached the railroad track
Cole lay down, and placing his ear to the
rail said he wanted to see if the train
was coming. "There it comes now, >"
exclaimed Mary Cole raised upon his
elbow and saw the train coming at full
speed. Looking at the girl, he said:
81 want to show you how game /
am and he again placed his body
across the track. The girl trit d to pull
him off the track, but finding she could
not do so, she sprang away to prevent
being killed. The engineer reversed the
engine, but it was too late. Coles legs
and one of his arms were severed, and
his head scalped. The girl ran scream
ing through an adjoining. field. Cole
and his wife separated recently

A wOman's silver Argument.

Stantonville, n. Y, July 20.-Rolland
Dewitt, a farmer near here, who has,
by declaring his intention of supporting
Mckinley and Hobart gotten himself
into a lot of trouble. He has repeated
edly told his wife and mother-in-law
who still cling to the Democratic party,
that he could not swallow the free silver
arguments of the Chicago convention.
AT the supper table yesterday the bottled
rage of the two women burst out.
''Mother and / are disgusted with
your course said Mrs. De Witt.
''Mother threatens To-" 81 am
not controlled in politics or anything
else by my mother r-in-law," said the
cornered husband. Singing blows from
horshwhip fell in rapid succession on
his shoulders. The mother-in-l law had
entered the room and seized the golden
opportunity and the whip. The cuts
continued until De Witt begged for mer
cy. He still declares that he is an anti
silver man, and that he will prosecute
his wife's mother.

There are some exceedingly attractive
which must enlist the admiration of
tens of thousands who cannot wholly en-
dorse the Chicago platform. These fea-
lures are especially pleasing when con
trasted with the surroundings of his op-
ponent. Mr.. Bryan was the free choice
of the great convention. No millionaire
had covered the country for years ''or-
ganizing" delegates for him. No mon
ey was spent in subsidizing clubs and
organizations and providing extravagant
headquarters for him. No hotel was
bought outright to 'house and feed"
without charge any member of the con-
veution who would vote for him.
Mr.. Bryan is under no obligations to
any individual, clique or syndicate for
his nomination. His own courage, his
brilliance, his record and his personality
won the contest. Mr.. Bryan is not the
creature of any protected interests. He
is his own man. He owes no fealty to
any organization, to any great body of
of men of wealth who have only their
self, h interests to consider. Mr.. Bryan
is young man. He is not burdeued
with the prejudices- the weaknesses, the
petty failings that long drawn career
among politicians and officeseekers en-
tails.
He is an ambitious man, but not ne
cessarily dangerous one. His cour-
ageous and patriotic announcement a
moment after his nomination that he
would not be a candidate for a second
term if elected gave the highest proof of
willingness to forgoe selfish advance
ment for what he believes to be the
country's good. Mr.. Bryan's candidacy
appeals directly to the common people.

Popped To Bryan.

kenosha. Wis, July 2O--A great sur
prise has been sprung on the political
circles OF this section by the announce
ment that Il q. Simmons, by long
odds the wealthiest man in Southern
Wisconsin, has declared himself un-
oualitiedly in favor of the election of the
BRYAN and Sewall platform.
Mr.. simmons is president of the First
National bank, owns large business
blocks, is president oil the Northwestern
Telegraph company. whose wires now
form, under lease, a great portion OF the
Union Telegraph company, and controls
large holdings in railway stocks. de
has always been an answering adhe-
rent of the Republican party aud an ad-
vocate of high protection. He says now
that the time has gone by for high tar
ifs and that in the advocacy of the mon
ey question the people who made the
platform in Chicago acted in the true in
terests of the people.
His brother, Ezra, and his son, Il q.
Simmons, Jr., have also joined the sill
yer party.

Many We're Drowned.

Cleveland, o., July 16.-The most ap-
palling disaster which has occurred In
Cleveland, except the Viaduct horror
when loaded street car plunged
100 feet into the river, occurred tonight
at s O'Clock. While flat bottomed
ferry boat, loaded with between forty
and fifty labOrers, was crossing the old
river channel, 1t was capsized and all the
men thrown into the channel and be-
tween fifteen and twenty drowned.
Seven bodies have been taken from
the water up to 1880 P. NJ. The -acci-
dent was due to panic among the men
aboard. The boat was so loaded that
the gunwale was only three inches above
the water, and a passing tug made
waves which came into the boat. At
once there was rush to the other side,
the boat went over and spilled the men.
They were all members of a gang of ore
handlers and were coming to their
homes.
