FOR THE COLLISION.
Engine "46" Will Represent
the Gold In the Minneapolis
Collision.

Engine "46" for many years ON the
Little Falls & Dakota branch. with
]. d. Fuller as engineer, passed
through the city Monday afternoon
.enroute to Minneapolis, where it will
,e one OF the engines used In the col
liston at Minnehaha park, arranged
for by the Penny Press for Saturday
next.
The engines will each represent one
of the two great metals, and "46'
has been selected for the gold, and
the other for silver.
Engine "46" IL one that has been
discarded for road service by the
Northern Pacific f"r several years,
giving way to the larger and
stronger Standard engines.
The collision will occur ut Mime.
haha park, Minneapolis. next Satur'
day afternoon, and it will undonbt'
eddy be witnessed by u great many
people. Just what the collision IL
intended to demonstrates we cannot
say, unless to allow the people to
see a great railway collision without
the horrors of those that occur by
accident. Both engines will be going
at a rate of As miles per hour, it is
said, when they collide, und without
doubt both will be demolished and
rendered unfit for further use, other
than scrap iron.
Old As" was utilized until the last,
however, hauling a train to Mime
apOlis Tuesday. She was all
painted up and across the tank was
the word gold" in large gilt letters.
The engine which will rpresent
silver in the collision is ''63." one OF
the old time passenger engines on
the Duluth and Brainerd branch.
Like the gold engine, 1t is one OF the
Baldwin locomotives. and Ia well
worn ont. 1t was taken to Mime
apolis Wednesday. The engineer
in charge said it was impossible to
get a very high rate Of speed out Ut
either, but it is said that both
engines will pull four box cars loaded
with sand. This will give more
force to theengines when the collision
occurs.

Sound Money at Plerz.

J. H. Rhodes made sound money
speech at Pierz on Saturday evening.
He reports that many Democrats OF
that town are opposed to free silver
coinage, and that Bryan will certain
" get a very much smaller vote than
any Democratic candidate has re-
ceived there in the past. The town
is strongly Democratic. but the free
silver scheme is SO far from former
Democratic principles, that 1t is OBJ
iectionable to a great many voters
there. The question is causing much
discussion there, and Mr.: Rhodes be-
]ieyes that the votes will show a
very strong sound money sentiment.
Other meetings will be held later,
and an effort made to secure the
attendance of prominent German
speakers who oppose Bryan's cleo
ton.

In Destitute Circumstances.

\ man named Frank Zellers OF the
town OF Swan River was in the city
Wednesday lookingfor work. Zellers
recently lost his house and furniture
by fire and had no insurance. He
was unable to rebuild and his fam
lily, including six small children, is
living in an old barn. He was in
destitute circumstances and asked
for something to eat from one OF the
residents of this city, claiming that
he mad noteate breakfast. The per-
son to whom he applied gave him
something to eat, and although
Zelsrs could talk but little English,
it was learned that his family was
but little better provided for than he
was.
He was making no complaint. but
was hunting for work. His case is
certainly worthy of an investigation
and II 1t is as bad US stated by him
he is deserving Of aid. Tuesday
there was man circulating a sub
scrjption about the city for aid, who
had lost his house by fire and had
$500 insurance on the same, which
he could not get, he said, tor about
three weeks. Hereceived a consider
allie sum and was certainly much less
deserving than Zellers, who had no
Insurance and has nc thing to live on.

WEEK ENDING MONDAY. AUGUST p.
The weather over the state was
clear till the middle of the week, after
which time cloudy or partly cloudy
weather prevailed, with showers,
which we're not evenly distributed.
They were generally light except for
a rain OF 1.6U in. in Mobiles county on
Friday. In portions of the south
western section, rain ls needed badly,
especially in Watonwan and Cot
tonwoUd counties, and even where
there have been showers more is
generally needed for the fall plough
ing The day temperatures were
probably below the normal maxi
mum till Friday. when they became
higher, going down again on Satur-
day. Although the night tempera-
lures were low during the early part
OF the week they did not reach the
frost line, and during the latter part
of the week were higher.
Northern Section-Wheat harvest
is still in progress. but many have
finished. Oats and barley will hardly
be ready for cutting for two weeks.
A very light frost occurred ON the
mornings of the 10Th and 18th in
Kittson county, but no damage re-
suited. ~. .. ..-.-
West Notwithstanding is nearly
finished and threshing is in progress.
The yields SO far are disappointing
both in amount and Egrade. Late
corn has gained considerably during
the week. A little early corn has
been cut, but most of it needs two
weeks of good weather; for. it's ma
turing. The ground is very dry
for ploughing, but in some places it
is begun. .... &c., u.
East Notwithstanding Is generally
done and threshing is in progress.
The corn is generally good crop,
part of which is ripe enough to cut
now or next week, while some will
not be ripe till Sept. 5. Apples are q
splendid crop. ~..
Southwest SeetiOn-Nearly all the
wheat is stacked and threshing is in
progress. Corn IL doing we'll. Second
crop fax is poor and is not ripening
we'll. The rains of Friday night
were beneficial to corn and pastures
and helped ploughing in some coun.
ties, especially Lincoln, Murray,
Mobiles and Jackson, but the long
drought in Watonwan and Cotton
wood counties continues with result
ing damage to corn.
Southeast Section-Threshing in
progress; wheat is said to be
shriveled. Corn is maturing slowly
and will be q good crop with two
weeks of good weather. Showers
fell on Friday, but more rain is need
ed for ploughinK, which fs being
pushed as rapidly az possible. Late
clover seed has been injured by the
nudge. but very early ripened clover
is well seeded. Grapes are exception
ally fine.

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1896-11-10

This has indeed been one of Hawaii's
banner years. How the twelve months
of 1895 do suffer by comparison with
the same period of 1896. What grue-
some, repellant pl1antoms of the past
are the uprising of January, 1895, and
the cholera plague of that fall. And
in a business way the low price of
sugar for that time is recalled with
regret. Still, 1895 was marked in Homo
lulu by the erection of number of
handsome business structures, many
residences and much effective endeav-
or on public work. In 1896, however,
there has not been a dull day or a dis
couraging moment. There has been
marked advance and steady progress
all along the many lines of operation.
Another cause for Thanksgiving lies
in the fine promise of future and con-
tinued prosperity, peace and harmony.
