WANTS AN ANSWER FROM THE
GOVERNMENT AT ONCE.
Otherwise the New Building May Not
Go Up-He Talks of Repairing
Ehlers & Cos. Old Store.

Unless the Government officials come
to some decision very shortly on the
matter of widening Fort street, James
Campbell has resolved that he will lay
aside his plans for the erection of
fine business block on that street, be-
tween the Odd Fellows block and the
Wichman store. He will repair the old
building which was destroyed by fire
some four months ago.
The plans for the new block have
been completed and work would be
started within a month if the Govern
ment could reach an agreement on the
widening of the street." said Mr..
Campbell today. "My attorney has
submitted an estimate of the damage
that would be done my property in
event of such action. We are waiting
patiently for an answer.
IF the matter is delayed much long
er have quite fully determined to re-
pair the old building ruined by fire.
The building would be improved in
many ways and would be finished in
good style. The property has been
idle over four months now and / tn NIX
that it is not right that l should de-
prive myself of the revenue that the
building would yield.
The plans for the new block, drawn
by Howard & Train, are for a fine bus
mess structure, two stories in height
and extending over the entire Camp
bell property. 1t will be a ninety foot
front of iron frame and cement with
ornaments. There will be three store
rooms on the main floor, extending
back seventy feet. The same number
of store rooms will be above. Each
store on the upper floor will have large
plate glass windows. A large open
stairway will be in front of the build
ing and two leading up from the rear.
Mr.. Campbell has made an offer f,r
the purchase of the Odd Fellows
building and grounds. Negotiations
are still pending.
1t is understood that Mr.. CampbclVs
claim for damages presented to IL"
Governments is 1000.

HACKFELD g. co. WILL BRING 12O
FAMILIES.
To Offset the Asiatics-Consul Glade
Will Make the Observation-Disclosures
With John +. Hackfeld.

The firm of II. Hackfeld d Company
has undertaken colonization scheme,
which, if carried out, will be a boon to
this country. \ good class of Germans
and Austrians will be brought to the
islands and inducements laid before
them, with the idea of their becoming
permanent citizens.
This important departure on the
part of the big Hacllfeld Company took
definite form shortly after the arrival
of Mr.. Henry Glade, Hawaiian consul
at Bremen, Germany, in Honolulu. but
a short time ago. The matter of start
ing German immigration to Hawaii
was one of the chief purposes of that
gentleman's long journey to the
islands.
He laid his full plans before the
Hackfeld Company, with which he is
identified. The scheme was not new
one by any means, for Mr.. Glade had
been in correspondence with the firm
relative to the matter for many
months past. The venture was fully
discussed from all sides and decision
reached When Mr.Glade returned to
Germany on the Australia last We'd
nesday he took with him an order for
12O German families for Hackfeld &
Company
Mr.. John f. Hackfeld talked freely
about the matter today to a Star rep
resentative. "Yes, it is true that we
have determined to foster a German
colonization scheme in Hawaii" said
he. "Nr. Glade interested himself in
this matter year or so ago and he
has been constantly in touch with it
ever since. He brought encouraging
reports with him this time and we
have now resolved to take up tie mat
ter ourselves.
"Mr. Glade will be in charge of the
enterprise at the other end. We have
authorized him to send us 120 German
| families as soon as possible after his
arrival in Germany. Mr.. Glade says
that the German Government will
place no obstacles in the way of our
plans.
"The Austrians have attracted our at
tention and Mr.. Glade may decide to
send these people instead of the Gar
mans. Both are good workers on sugar
plantations and they will make the
best of citizens. 1t is our plan to bring
these people to the island on the con-
tract labor system. After the con-
tracts have expired we will place op-
portunities before those who have
remain in the country. They can re-
main on the plantations in the employ
of the company, or will be assisted to
start in for themselves in agricultural
pursuits sugar cultivation, or in a
mercantile way"
"Do you regard this as an expert
ment?" was asked Mr.. Hackfeld.
mo, not exactly. You see we know
what the Germans can do, for we have
tried them. In the event of the i'm
portation of Austrians we are conf
dent of the success of the scheme
They would make acceptable citizens
surely under the present condition of
affairs. Hawaii would be fortunate,
indeed, if we should be able to secure
good class of Germans"
Mr.. Hackfeld also stated that the
rapidly increasing Asiatic population
was largely responsible for this i'm
portant. departure on the part of his
company.
1t is very likely that the new Oahu
plantation will come in for it's share of
the new labor.

MUNICIPALITY FUNDS.

-
The treasurer Ut the town Of Scran-
ton is elected by The people thereof,
and is required to give a good bond,
which Of course he has already done,
but an impression has obtained that
the Board CT Mayor and Aldermen in.
tend to ignore our treasurer and de-
posit the moneys arising from the sale
Of bonds in the Whitney National
Bank OF New Orleans. In this con-
nectiOn we, in common with other
taxpayers OF this municipality, pro.
test against the Board sending the
peoples money out OF the town, and
in order to show that they have no
authority for so doing VIC quote Sec
ton 1900 OF the Code OF 1892, which
reads as follows when speaking of the
duties OF IA town treasurer:
"The treasurer shall receive, safely
keep, and pay ont according to law
ALL MONEYS BELONGING to the MU.
NlCIPALITY. lie shall keep correct
and accurate accounts OF all receipts
and disbursements, and shall make
report, in writing to the Mayor and
Board Of Aldermen, at each regular
meeting, Of the finances Of the mu.
inequality; and shall perform all other
duties that may be prescribed by or
dinance; and shall pay out money only
on the warrant issued by the order of
the Mayor and Board Of Aldermen"
The above seems very clear to oul
mind that all moneys belonging to tho
municipality must be turned over &c
the treasurer and disburscd accord.
ing to the law above quoted. TO send
the money out Of the State and moi
turn it over to the town treasurer
would be Il plain violation Of the law
and perhaps subject the officers Of the
town to a law suit.
However, we hope the matter viii
be settled without legal proceedings
thereby tieing up the bond money foI
an definite period. ,

NOT YELLOW FEVER.

The report that yellow fever had
broken out in Il neighboring town
of Ocean Springs this week, has turn
ed out TO be false, as will be seen by
the official report OF President Olli-
plant Of the Board OF Health of Lou
isiana, with experts and members
thereof, published in another column
of the DEMoCRAT-STAR this week.
These gentlemen visited the town on
Monday last and made a thorough in
vestIgation OF the epidemic Of fever
now prevailing there, and they pro-
nounce the disease only a mild typeof
dengue fever. In order that our read
ers may know something more about
this fever we turn to our Office die
tionary and quote as follows as re.
CARDS it: ut is a specific epidemic
disease attended with high fever,
cutaneous eruption, and severe pains
in the head and limbs, resembling
those Of rheumatism. Called also
breakbone fever. 1t occurs in India,
Egypt, the West Indies, is Of short
duration, and rarely ever fatal" In
1878 this fever prevailed along this
coast. and we had a eve attack of
it, but pulled through all right in
about ten days. With the exception
OF very old people the disease rarely
results fatally.
1t Is indeed unfortunate that such
a report gained currency. 1t was but
a tempest in a teapot, it is true, but
it had the effect OF frightening peo-
pie, and it Is hard to recover from q
yellow fever scare.

WHAT SAW.


Editor Democrat-star.
IL you will kindly give me a little
space in the ''Old Reliable" / will
give you ana your many readers some
thing OF what / saw at the Summer
Normal at Lauderdale Springs, Miss.
The Normal opened June I'D with
about one hundred and tifty matricu-
latcs. Prof. j. e. Hardy was the cap
tain Of this army Of teachers, which
swelled every day until it reached the
number OF two hundred aud MY
brave men and beautiful women. all
Of whom were under his mastery
leadership. His SubordinateS were
| respectively DR.. j. 6. Deupree, who
lectured learnedly on Pedagogy; d..
Johnson gave a fair insight into the
science OF the Natural Physics; Prof.
| Eager discoursed on the art Of speech
! ar science OF the mother tongue, Gram
mar, while Rev. G.. w. HuddlestOn,
once our room mate at college, orig
mated Il class in Latin, and was the
one To talk To us about our dear state,
through that telephone called MisslS-
sippi History; Prof. MurrisoD held
sway at the chair Of Mathematics;
Cnusby treated happily on Singing;
Mrs. Powell taught a class In Art;
Misse, Brown and Mays taught Gle
men AIRY Pedagogy, while Prof. Hardy
talked in his happy way on Civil Gov
ernm mt and Southern History, which
was very interesting.
We had lectures most every night,
and many during the day time, on
various subjects, which were in the
main good and generally calculated to
elevate the teacherhoOd Of the Nor
NAL, gave them a higher estimation OF
their work as mOulders Of the mind
child, and inspired them to nObler ef-
forts in this great and sacred calling.
The coming together Of so many
teachers and the mere interchaDging
Of ideas, vas within itself a great in
spiration for good. and must result IN
"A vast amount OF good to our State;
as the teacher is the common carrier
to the pupil, hence the better the
equipped teacher the better and wiser
will be the instruction, then happier
and more fortunate the child, as it
will be the recipient OF all that flows
from the 'fOunt," be it little Ur much,
good or bad.
Many Of the county superintendent
were there gathering in material f0l
the bettCrment Of their respective
schools.
At the close OF the Normal quite
number Of the teachers, old aud young
placed themselves at the alter oI
test memory" and, we trust, al!
came through the mills" improved
and equipped for the coming winter
schools. As for your humble scribe
he came forth with a States license
to teach in any county in the State.
Mr.. Editor, You will please pXcus,
this length, Is l thought so many O
your readers would like to hear from
the Normal, wen in this condensed
way. from one OF their OWL teachers.
The Normal closed on the 10Th 0
! July. More anon,
