CHANGES.
Men in the Inter-Island Co. Ser
vice are Shifted.

Several changes have just been
made among the pursers and chief en-
gineers OF the Inter-Island steamers.
The Mauna Loa went out yesterday
with Mort Tuft as purser and VIM.
Simerson. son of the captain of the
Mauna Loa. as freight clerk. Mr..
Matthews is too sick man TO go out
as purser. Tom White, recently
freight clerk of the Kona-Kau packet,
has been made purser of the Iwalani
and sailed on that steamer for Kauai
ports yesterday.
In regard to the changes in the chief
engineers of the various steamers, A.
w Keech has announced the follow
ing:
Bromley of the Kauai to be chief of
the Iwalani.
Donnelly of the Iwalani to be chief
of the Mauna Loa.
Quinlan of the Mauna Loa to be
chief of the Kauai.
Wall who was chief on the Mauna
Loa is now on the Coast where he
will remain permanently.
Wesner, formerly chief of the Iva
ami, has gone back to his home in
Philadelphia on account of illness.
1t is very likely that, in a few days
other changes among the engineers
will be made

May Reduce Exports.

The recent highwater mark prices
for wheat in the American markets
may have a reactionary effect upon
the exports of that staple from the
United States, to Japan at least. Ac-
cording to the Consular reports from
Japan the Customs returns show an
increase for the first half of 1897 over
the corresponding period for 1896.
But the advance in wheat has already
begun to have it's effect in Japan and
the Japanese who formerly used i'm
ported flour are using native flour and
rice instead.

FREE CHERO0TS.

This morning We had pleasant
call from Mr.. E. c. Mo7ston, agent
for the American Tobacco COM
pany, who Is here advertising their
goods. He left us I acket full o.
Old Virginia Cheroots, and we find
that they are good smokers, free Of
cabbage leaves, no brown paper
wrappers or obnoxious drugs in
their filling that would cause one
to wish he had never courted the
seductive roll OF tobacco,
These cheroots are made of the
best Vagina leaf tobacco (top
leaf and are free from blow holes
or headache, They are as quieting
on the nerves as a Hobson kiss, and
the one we are now smoking has
filed our saRctum full of the sweet
est aroma.
We can say to all smokers that
the Old Virginia Cheroot is the
kind of cigar it will pay to invest in
and will give the same satisfaction
of Ell Belmont, Mr.. Moyston will
remain here several days and the
reporter expects to smoke "Old
Virginia as long as he is in calling
distance.

QUARTERLY MAGAZINE.

The passenger department OF the
Texas g. Pacific Railway is issuing a
quarterly magazine, which they
will distribute throughout the
country, through the mails and
their station agents, along the line
of their road.
It is the intention of the projec-
tors to, Illustrate the different
towns along the road and give
statistical facts as to the trade and
amount of product raised, with the
intention of inducing immigration
to settle along the line, thus de-
veloping the country through
which their road trayerses.
We have seen Vol. 2, No, 3, and
must say that the printers art OF
the highest order was employed on
its pages, and the illustrations were
all of the best kind. The next
number will appear October l,
1898. If you want copy of this
excellent magazine put your name
on the mailing list by writing tc
Gen. Pass. Agt. E. p. Turner,

you get the magazine regularly

THE PARK ENTERTAINMENT

The Park was engaged last night
by the ladies of the Baptist Church
for the purpose of disposing of ice
cream and cake, the proceeds to be
used in the building of the new
Baptist Church,
The attendance was not as good
as at the first entertainment, so
we were told last night, still quite a
crowd was out to aid the ladies and
show appreciation and help in Civ.
ing assistance to the church.
T. H. Kenneaster's colored band
was on hand and we noticed that
they have made quite an improve
nent in the music they have been
practicing We shall expect to see
this band gain a state reputation
if they can be kept together dur
ing the coming season, as each aud
every member can read music and
all they want now is learning in time
There were few bathers in the
natatorium, but those who were in
seemed to enjoy the cooling effects
of the water.
The reporter took a stroll over
to the theatre building, and found
only the stage part of the building
framed, f1oored and the sides COW
cred in. The stage is a large one,
in fact, it is the largest stage in
either Texas or Arkansas and will
have plenty of room behind the
stage and on the sides to accommo-
date any size troop that may
play there.
Mr.. Whitley will cover in the
stage before he commences on the
main building, and while the car
penters are engaged on it, he will
have men at work fixing up the
stage fixtures. He will make a good
amusement hall there and Texar-
kama fun loving people will give
him their thanks.
We noticed that the base ball
park fence has been torn away and
now Swelterlng humanity who go to
the park to get breeze can be ac-
commodated as the high fence
there that heretofore cut off the
wind has been entirely removed

A TIME WITH HOUSE BREAKERS.
A Mt Vernon Texas, Gang of House
Breakers are Run into by Of
fcers- --0ne Captured.

There arrived here this morning,
Mr.. Geo. ONeal. who was a passen-
ger on the Cotton Belt train last
night and who came through Mt.
Vernon, Texas, while the papulace
was up in arms after lot Of house
breakers. Mr.. O'Neal says that
several stores had been entered by
the gang, booty from each one had
been stolen, while the robbers were
at work in one place clerk who
was there asleep, kept his eyes on
them and played as though he was
sound asleep, and they did not dis
turb HIM. When they left the
store the clerk got out and inform
ed the sheriff and soon a posse was
formed a systematic search was
made for the night prowlers. One
capture was made about the time
the train came in and possee came
up to see that none of these men
got on the tram. While the train
was at stand still, some one discover
ed man on the sleeping car and a
command was made for him to come
down and not showing that he in
tended to obey the command, he
was fired on by the sheriff and
tumbled of on the other side, and
made a run for other shelter with
the crowd after him. Mr. O'Neal
said the train pulled out before he
could learn further of the matter

Mr. Fred Onenhauser who is
always abreast Of the times in en-

the enlargement of his insurance

to put several feet more to the
width and length Of the Office and
that the roof will be raised three
or four feet and a fancy front put
in. In addition TO this improve-
meut Mr. BurdsaIl has made plans
to improve Mr., Ollenhausers resi-.

We notice a tendency on the part
of several of our exchanges, which
are vet in their swaddling clothes,
swearing before a notary public as
to their circulation being the larg-
est in the cities they are published
In these days when liars are as
thick as the ticks on the under
structures Of a Texas maverick, it
is easily understood how these fake
circulatious can be made. 1T
makes us laugh in our sleeves to
see a big healthy liar get charge Of
a paper and before he has been in
harness very long, he runs to a
notary public and swears to his
circulation as being the largest
ever attained by any other publi-
cation published in the town, when
in many instances, If the press was
put to its full capacity, could not
turn off as many papers in a week
as they claim to circulate in a day.
OF course, this method of falsifying
catches suckers and will as long as
the world last, but we feel like
warning the people against them
as we would the green goods" man
or the man with the gold brick, y
for one is no better than the
other"
