RAIL REARING OAR LOCKS,

These, according to the Scientific
American Supplement, 'are of brass,
with three point ball bearing, case
hardened steel working parts; they
are furnished in either polished brass
or nickle plated, as may be desired.
These materials will not bend nor yet
spread, and so the oars will move in
them always the same, and thus there
can be no liability to uneven rowing
on account of the locks being of diff
ferent shapes and angles, as is not
infrequently the case when compost
tions of softer character are EN-
ployed.

THE LAND SALE.

The land sale of yesterday was a
surprise to those who thought thar
they knew the value of Hawaiian
lands. The trustees of the Bishop es-
tate, to which institution the land be-
longed, put the upset price at Sl50,0o0.
The sale brought $251,OOO, or SlO1,OO
more than the upset price. Of course.
the trustees expected more than the
upset price, but their utmost hope was
$4,000 above it.
There are two considerations in
this matter. The view of the trustees
and the view of those who enter into
speculation, that is take Il risk in the
expectation of future gain.
Looked at, without thought, it may
be said that the Bishop estate trustees
ought to hold on to all their lands.
From the last report the funds of the
estate were in good condition and
there was no pressing need of a sale
to carry on the institutions. Landed
property increases in value, as witness
the many institutions of learning In
the old and new worlds, which, en-
dowed with a few fields in the first
instance, have had those fields cover
ed with blocks of houses and stores,
from which an enormous income is
realized. This the writer knows was
the case with Rugby, the income of
Lawrence Sheriff's bequest to that in
stitution of land outside of London, in
the sixteenth century, having risen
from few pounds per year to be-
tween five and six figures annually,
and of other institutions the same
may be said
But looking at the condition of af-
fairs here, it was found that to car
nv on the ranch at Moiokai was un-
satisfactory, and holding other lands
it seemed best to make an end of what
might under the management of The
trustees prove u losing affair. Such a
sum of money as they have realized
can be used to far better advantage
as far as the institution is concerned,
than to have it locked up and perhaps
even drawing upon other resources.
Regarding the question from the
side of the investor, it is quite evident
, that the trustees would not go into
the speculative business of running a
sugar plantation. The Molokai ranch
bought for $251 900 will require Il
great deal of capital to develop il
properly, and this undoubtedly those
who have bought it, intend to spend
The possibilities of Molokai as an ag
ricultural island have often been dis
cussed in these columns. The gentle.
men who have taken up the specula-
ton are thoroughly aware of what
those possibilities are. 1t is a real
pleasure to think that the busy hum

slept for centuries. When the advant-
ages of the Island have been set forth
in thes columns. The Star has been
taken to task for showing what the
opportunities on the Islands are. 1t
is far better to tell the truth than to
suppress it, and the contemporary re-
ferred to has had to publish the fact
of the quarter of million dollar sale.
That The Star knew what it was talk
ing about when speaking of Molokai
is now very evident indeed.

Former Teacher Dead.

The Sparta Herald gives the follow
ing obituary notice of Miss Emma SAKE
who upon the opening of the new
Watertown high school in the fall of
1884 was on the corps of teachers of
that institution, and who during her
residence here gained many friends
and admirers:
On Thursday morning last, January
6, 1898, at 8 o'clock, Miss Emma
Sake passed away, a victim of consump-
ton. The disease began its work
some years ago, but Miss SAKE contin-
ued her school duties till about eight
months ago, since which time she has
been at home, and her life gradually
/ ebbed away She was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. August SAKE, both de-
ceased, and was born in Milwaukee in
1858. She was educated in the Sparta
schools and in the Oshkosh Normal
school, graduating from the latter
institution nineteen years ago. She
taught for number of years in the
Sparta high school, and afterwards in
KenOsha and WATERFOWL During the
last ten years she has been teacher
in the Oshkosh normal school. She
has been a successful instructor, and
has won the esteem and affection of
fellow teachers and students alike.
Miss Sake united with the Sparta Bap-
fist church when thirteen years of age,
and some years since was received by
letter into the First Baptist church of
Oshkosh, of which church she was a
member until the time of her death.
She was a true Christian and a cap
able worker for Christ. During her
long illness she betrayed the utmost
patience, she never complained, her
face was always bright, her faith in
God mistaken. She looked forward
eagerly to her better and eternal
home, for which she had made faithful
preparation by trust in the Lord, and
service for Him. Funeral services
were held in the Sparta Baptist
church last Saturday morning at 10
o'clock.

The Death Record.

On January 9, at Glencoe, Mimi,
John Price, son of our venerable resi-
dent, Henry Price, answered the final
summons, at the age of 35 years. He
was a victim of consumption, from
which dread disease he had suffered
several years. Some months previous
to his death Mr.. Price spent in Cali
fornia, but even the benefits of that
mild climate were of no avail. De-
ceased was a Watertown boy born
and reared, leaving here some eigh-
teen years ago and locating in the
West. He is fondly remembered by
host of old friends in his birthplace,
all OF whom were panied to hear of
his early demise. The funeral was
held at Glencoe last Wednesday.
The Montreal Witness chronicles
the death on January of Moses LIE
Bourveau at Eaton, county of Cromp-
ton, Quebec, aged 81 years. He was
the father of our erstwhile resident,
A. LIE Bourveau, now of Jacksonville,
Fla. Deceased was a well-knOwn
citizen of his county and had filled
several public offices, among them
postmaster of Eaton for thirty-two
years. His widow and four sons sur
vive.
Howard WEIGH, a gentleman who
had acquaintance here, died January
Z at his home inssJanesville, aged 50
years. Deceased was the husband of
a former Watertownite, Miss Jennie
Smythe, who survives him, together
with four children. Mrs Welch is a
niece of Mrs. w. N Hawkins, of this
city, and a daughter of Thomas
Smythe, who removed to Iowa some
years ago.
Mrs. Henrietta Buss died Saturday
at the home of her son, Charles Buss,
in Lebanon, aged 70 years. She had
been resident of that town forty-five
years and was widely known. Three
daughters and one son survive. One
of the former is Mrs. H Kuhlke, of
this city. The funeral was held yes
terday from the Lebanon Lutheran
church.

An Interesting Meet.

The athletic tournament at COncOr-
dia Opera house last Thursday night
was attended by large and orderly
audience, which numbered some of our
best known citizens. The different
exhibitions were highly interesting
and the show as whole gave excel
lent satisfaction. 1t was the quite
general sentiment that Reinhold
SchOtt, who arranged the tournament,
had provided first-class entertain
ment and that his future efforts along
this line would be heartily encouraged
here.
The event on which most interest
centered was the catch as-catch-can
wrestling match between Reinhold
Schott and Fred Beel, of Marshfeld.
Police Gazette rules governed the
match, two shoulders down at the
same time constituting fall. The
contestants were about evenly matched
in strength and endurance and the
contest was fine exhibition of these
manly qualifications. While Beel had
the better of Schott in weight by
about ten pounds, the latter proved
superior in science and experience
The first fall was won by Schott in
thirteen minutes, the second by Beel
in seventeen minutes, and the third
by Schott in six minutes. OF course,
Schott was the favorite of the audi
ence, being a local man, but Beel
gained many friends here and it
is evident that, with proper hand
ling, he has promising future as an
athlete.
Preceding the wrestling match
there was several sparring exhibit
tions, all the contestants being Water
town boys except Harry Fails, of
Milwaukee. The first bout was be-
tween l.. Hagemann and j. Rhine
sted, who spared earnestly and
we'll and consequently pleased the
audience. The next bout, between
Tom Williams and Harry Jones, was
considerable of a iasco, but the boys
furnished good deal of amusement
by their funny tactics. The third
bout was between Ed Schulz ard
Gus Hence, two muscular young men
who apparently ''fought for blood"
A three-round exhibition between
Fails and NJ. Mccullough closed the
sparring bouts. This was perhaps the
most interesting, as the Milwaukeean
has quite a reputation as boxer and
the Watertown boys friends were
anxious to see what kind of a showing
he would make. Mccullough acquit-
ted himself very acceptably and there
is now talk of matching the men for
ten or twelve rounds. All the boxing
bouts were declared draws.

A Large Fight ON Small Issue.

Under the above caption yesterdays
Milwaukee Sentinel deals out, editori-
ally, the following counsel to the
parties interested in the contest over
the Watertown postmastership:
personal friends of rival caudi-
dates for minor public Offices are too
apt to believe that the general public
shares their concern. The predictions
that the Second congressional district
of Wisconsin will be turned back to
the Democrats at the next election on
account of a postoffice contest at Wa
tertown is not complimentary to the
voters, nor can it be accepted as fiat
tering to the prophets. 1t amounts to
nothing less than a threat to bolt the
party ticket in national election. In
other words the friends of the candi
date who expects to be defeated con-
fess their party loyalty to be so weak
that they would sacrifice a congress
man to crafty their resentment at
being defeated in efforts to obtain
small patronage for an individual ow-
ing to the better ability of some other
member of the party in the patronage
getting business.
"The whole Watertown controversy
has been conducted along the line of
charges of lack of support of candi-
dates in local elections from various
individuals. There does not appear
to be much doubt that local rivalries
and jealousies have played part in
local politics in Watertown just as they
do in every other city. The mistake
of the Watertown Republicans is in
expecting their congressman to sit in
judgment on the question as to which
individual candidate has been most
obstreperous, and to award the post
mastership with his verdict. The
service of the public in the conduct of
the Office is likely to prove more
substantial argument than threats to
punish the party by knitting a con-
gressional candidate at the polls"

SERIOUSLY ILL.

DR.. C. NJ. Kuykendal was taken
suddenly and seriously i'll last Satur-
day morning at about 2 o'clock, and
his condition is still the cause of much
alarm on the part of the doctors
numerous friends.
The trouble first manifested itself in
the form of excrutiating pains in the
bowels, and Notwithstanding all that
could be done, DR.. Kuykendal's con-
dition continued to grow worse all
day, and it was not until about 8
o'clock, Saturday night, that there
were any favorable symptoms.
During Saturday, Drs. Walker and
Williams decided upon the advisability
of consultation. They called in Drs.
Bratton and Carothers, and also DR..
Pressly, of Glover, and DR.. Devaga, of
Chester. The question of surgical
operation was seriously considered ;
but finally abandoned as unnecessary.
The trouble, it has been ascertained,
is due to congestion of the bowels.
The latest information is to the effect
that some relief has been obtained,
and while there has been much i'm
provement in DR.. Kuykendal's condi-
ton, it is not certain that he is yet
entirely out of danger.

THINGS AS THEY ARE.

When we cannot have thing as we
would like to have them, we must
take them as they are.
THE ENQUIRER believes as strongly
in the necessity Of financial reform as
it ever did. 1t believes that the strlk-
ing down of silver was great wrong,
and that the restoration of silver is
the only way by which that wrong can
be righted. 1t believes also that the
time will come when majority OF the
people of this country will demand
the restoration of silver.
But, for the present, the financial
question is a dead issue. The Repub-
licans have the president, and even if
both houses of congress were Demo
cratic, nothing could be done for the
next two years. Therefore, it is not
worth while to worry over the matter
for the present. Until it again lies
within the power of the American
people to accomplish change, it will
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1898-09-14

be very well to put up with things as
they are.
Because, however, of the low price
of cotton and the increased purchasing
power of money, it does not become
US to waste our hopes and energies in
vain longings for that which we cannot
get. Things are not yet nearly so bad
that they could not be much worse,
and Notwithstanding the low price oil
cotton, our principal money crop, this
is still the greatest country on earth.
High priced money makes greater
the necessity for hard work, close
economy and careful attention to busi-
ness. These things are still the great
secret of success, and they are bound
to win. They cannot be hampered by
politics or unfair legislation and they
will count for as much during the next
two years as they will count for dur
ing the two years following.
So from now on until the summer OF
1900, let US avoid politics and give at
tention to business. Politics is an i'm
portant matter. 1t should be watched
carefully all the while; but except
where absolutely necessary. it should
not be allowed to interfere with bust
ness.
We in this section have much to do in
the way of concentrating our energies,
improving our methods, etc. Along
this line our reward will be certain
and sure. The benefits from politics
are at best a matter of chance, and
now that we have about wound up the
political campaign in so far as this
section is concerned let us begin with
even greater energy an industrial cam
paign from which more is to be ex.
pected.

COTTON IN BAD SHAPE.
Timely Advice From the Buyers to the
Farmers.
From, tho Eraenyilla Naws

Timely Advice From the Buyers to the
Farmers.
From the Greenville News.
The cotton buyers report that the
new Gotten now being brought into
the city for sale is in frightfully dam
aged condition, and the extremely low
price that some of the new staple is
bringing bears the buyers out in their
statement.
The long continued wet weather has
played havoc with the crop, it is said,
and the farmers will suffer considera-
bly, on this account; but it is alleged
that their greatest loss will be sus-
tanned through careless harvesting.
The condition of most of the crop that
has been marketed here so far indicates
that it is being picked green as well as
wet. Sometimes one Of these faults is
detected and sometimes another, and
in two or three instances the indica-
tions were that the stuff had been
picked green and ginned wet. The
result is that when bales handled in
this manner reach the town they are
sweaty and gin-wet and gin-cut-the
fibre is almost completely ruined.
Some of this cotton brought 4 cents,
some 81 cents, and one bale was bid in
for 81 cents. Still two other bales were
so badly damaged that no buyer wan
ted them at any price and the owner
had to haul them back out of town.
Now good new cotton is bringing
from 4! to 5 cents pound, but this
article is very scarce just now.
Old cotton is bringing from 5 to ST
cents here now.
The buyers wish to warn the farmers
against allowing the crops to be har-
vested in this manner, and all hope
that they will heed the warning, as the
result is felt by everybody.

1T is HOMICIDE.

Only one witness was examined.
He testified that Steve Carter came

was tired of being dunned; that he
had been made hack block of long
enough, commenced firing at Sims.
Sims ran as soon as Carter COM
menced to shoot until he had emptied

shots.
After hearing the testimony, the
jury, Mr.. J. C. Chambers foreman, re-
turned d verdict to the effect that the
deceased,> Isaac Sims, had come to his
death from pistol shots fred from a
