SAYS IT ISN'T so.
Manager of American Book Co. De-
MES Speaker Streets Allegations.

Chicago, April 81. NJ. Dnlman
manager of the American Book COM
pany, denies the truth of the testimony
said to have been given by Speaker
Street. He said:
There is not a single word of truth
in the statement purporting to come
from Speaker Street. Mr.. Wilson never
had but one conversation with Speaker
Street, and this was when Mr.. Street
called on him at his rooms in Topeka
OF course, they talked over school book
legislation, but no reference, either di-
rectly or indirectly, was made to him
about money or in any way to influence
him, except to show him that the bill
before the legislature was not in the
interests of the people, and would
therefore not only injure them, but all
publishing interests, and even this con-
versation would not have taken place
if Mr. Street had not called on Mr.
Wilson You can say in the most en-
phatic manner that both Mr. Wilson
and ourselves deny in toto every single
word of what is purported to be the
statement by Speaker Street, ane- we
are loath to believe that he ever made
such a statement.

OMAHA CUT IN TWO.
The Missouri Breaks Through its
Banks and Seeks an Old Channel.

Omaha, April 13.-The Missouri river is
changing its channel past Omaha and in
doing so threatens to destroy property to
the value of several million dollars. Last
night the river broke through its banks
about a mile above where it left the old
channel twenty years ago, and is today
running two broad streams across what
were yesterday fertile market gardens.
These streams run into Florence lake,
a relic of a former cut off. From Flor
ence lake the water is pouring into Cutoff
lake and it now seems only question
of a few hours until East Omaha is
moved into Iowa and all the property in
line of the flood is swept away.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION,

Quite a large proportion OF the
youth out of Hawaiian schools,
who are sent abroad to be further
equipped for the battle of life, 90
to learn other than the professions
of preacher, doctor and lawyer.
Many of the boys born and
brought up here have had their
educations topped off in colleges
abroad, to return and take up po-
sitions in business with their
fathers, who in some cases at least
had no such advantages. Others
have been sent away to follow
their local beginnings in the
mechanical arts within the
walls of great foreign manufactor.
les. Some 60 to the best tech
biological institutes of America or
Europe, to acquire special knowl.
edge in mechanics, engineering,
etc. A certain proportion remain
in foreign parts, where there is
more scope for their skill and
talent, and in known cases reflect
credit on the country of their
birth or early adoption. Some,
however, return and establish
themselves in this their own land.
Both at home and abroad Hawaii
has sons engaged in architecture,
engineering and applied science
OF various kinds; as artisans,
painters, engravers, traders-in-
deed, masters in many vocations
that do not come into the category
of what have been decried as
''genteeP or white shirted" call
ings. The son of distinguished
son is now perfecting himself in
the science of banking in a British
house. Another son of an adopt
ed citizen, withal partly of
Polynesian extraction, is taking
a post graduate course of
Stanford University as d civil
and has had lucrative
employment as such on railway
surveys in vacation. These are
only two instances out of
multitude that could be cited
They are very apt for the
purpose, however, as the
father of one lad is banker
and that of the other a
master mechanic. The crowd
ing into the so.called higher pro-
fessions, of both fit and unfit ma
terisl, is a matter that is much
deplored in many countries. Still,
there is always room at the top,
and, while strangers are constant
ly occupying those professions in
Hawaii, native sons who or whose
think they can come in
aud win are not to be discouraged.
