PATRONS PAID TOLL.

For some years after the first intro
duction Of railways In England their
owners did not work them, but were con-
tent to receive tolls for their use from any
persons who cared to avail themselves OF
the facilities offered by the new and i'm
proved highways. Among others the coal
owners OF Lancashire ran their coal along
the railways In their own trucks drawn by
locomotives also belonging TO themselves.
And for . considerable further period after
the railway companies had found 10 de-
sirable to undertake the conveyance or
haulage of goods by their own servants
and rolling stock. they did not perform
tho service connected with their receipt
and oisIatch. They neither collected, de-
livered, loaded or unloaded the goods In
trusted to them for conveyance. These
duties were left to the general carriers
who had hitherto reformed similar du-
ties In connection with their business on
the high roads and canals. And 10 was

annual tent; in some cases, however. tho
sheds were erected by the carriers them
selves on their own property purchased

sheds that all goods To be forwarded were
brought Inc carriers weighed the goods
invoiceu them, loaded the trucks shoeted
them and handed them over, at the doors
of the shed. to the railway companies for
conveyance or haulsge. On the arrival OF
the tI Iucks at their destination the railway
compaies transferred them to the carrier
at the door Of his shed and the unloading,
carting and delivery was then performed

Senator Knute Nelson opened the
campaign at Warren with ringing
speech at the Opera house on Tues
day evening. Notwithstanding the
extremely busy season, large audi
ence, composed largely Of farmers and
laboring men, had assembled to hear
Minnesota's Junior Senator discuss
the political issues Of the day. The
Warren Silver Cornet Band rendered
several selections of music on the
street and at the hall while the people
were assembling. Judge Grindeland
introduced the senator, who in his
usual plain, practical, clear, and fore
ible matter of fact way proceeded to
state and discuss the political ques-
tions confronting the people Of the
state and nation. Wish it were posi-
bic to publish his speech in full.
In opening Senator Nelson stated
that he was glad 10 meet with the
people Of Warren and Marshall coun-
II, and that ever since the memorable
campaign Of 1882 they had had a
warm place in his heart. He had al
ways taken a great deal of interest in

Frank NJ. Eddy ought to be reelected
by an increased ajority.
Speaking Of the legislative ticket
in this district he said that good.
honest and capable men had certain
" been selected. Mr.. Grindeland,
the candidate for state senator, he
had known for years, and always
found him to be thoroughly relia-
BILE, honest and upright man. He
had lived long in the district and
was familiar with it's wants. Being
a lawyer he could frame laws that
were wanted and also introduce and
work for their passage. IHMr. Me-
collom and Mr.. Sjoberg the district
had good men for representatives.
Mr.. McCollom he had known since
1882. Mr.. McCollom is familiar with
the grain. business, and knows what
changes, if any, are needed in our
grain laws. Having been engaged
in that business at Hallock and at
the terminal points, Duluth and
West Superior, his experience will
prove valuable in the legislature TO
the people Of this section of the
state. He had had considerable cor
respondence with Mr.. McCollom in
regard to grain matters, and his let
ters relating to the anti-option law
were specially valuable. Mr.. Sjoberg
he did not know, hut was satisfied
that he was an honest and capable
man.
Mr.. Nelson next took up state is
sues, and ina most convincing man.
ner refuted the charge that is often
made by populists and democrats that
the republicans are the servants and
tools Of the rich corporations. He
enumerated 8 long list Of laws that
have been passed by recent republic
an legislatures.in this state, laws that
plainly are I'M the interests of the
people and against monopolis and
corporations. Among these, is a law
for the taxation Of telegraph and tele-
phone companies and sleeping cars, a
law forfeiting the Hastings and Dako.

ZeaIandia Departure.

The Zealandia sailed for San Fran
cisco promptly at noon yesterday.
There was more than the usual gath
ering on account of the large number
of passengers who left. The band was
present as usual and played a fare
we'll concert. AS the large gangway
was about to be lowered, Mrs. w. Wag-
ener started down. When she had ar
rived about midway, the rope slipped
out of the hands of the sailors and the
gangway went down with crash. Mrs.
Wagner fell as soon as she struck the
ground and had to be assisted in walk
ing. She is very much famed by the
accident. Had the thing happened a
few second before, several must surely
have been hurt, for at that time there
was crowd on the gangway.

THISTLE EDITION.
A New Set of Complete Work :
of Stevenson

OF stevenson.
The Scottish Thistle Club Of this citv
has just received from the publishers,
Harper & Bros, the first complete
Thistle Edition of the works of the late
Robert Louis Stevenson. There are p
volumes in the set.
Robert Louis Stevenson was an
honorary chieftain of the Scottish
Thistle Club and took a keen interest
in the affairs of the organization. Dur
ing one stay in Hawaii he was often
in the club quarters and upon two Oc-
casions at least, addressed the mem
bers and guests. OF course ne was
charming fascinating Mr.. Stevenson
seemed really proud Of the badge of
the club-the insignia of the local or
der Of the Thistle. He was never with
out the pin and it is known that he
wished the badge buried with him and
that this was done. 1t is more than
likely that the great writer had in his
mind the Thistle club when he had the
emblem of the society placed on some
Of his later books and that this new
choice set is called the Thistle edition
is circumstance peculiarly gratifying
to the Scotsmen of Honolulu.

Marshal Traces a Bad Bill
to His Own Office.
Rather a Surprtse-No New COun-

enue Stamps Duplicated.

Marshal Brown has had most novel
and interesting experience in tracing
the photograph of a $40 Hawaiian
treasury note. The officer, it was noted
yesterday, had followed the bad bill
through the hands of six Chinese firms
and into the establishment Of Bruce
Waring & Co, and Levers & Cooke.
One Of the young men in the employ
of Levers & Cooke surprised the Mar
shall by satisfying him that the note
from the headquarters of the police
department. 1t was made clear that
the note was paid to Levers & Cooke
by Mr.. Dow, chief clerk in the Mar
shars Office. Mr.. Dow. in turn. AYERS,
that he drew the bill from the banking
house of Bishop & Co. The bankers
are utterly unable to throw any light
on the hunt and it may be said that as
to this particular ten, refused by Theo.
II. Davies & Co., the work of tracing is
ended. No progress at all has been
made in looking back for the $40 note
found by Mr.. Abel at Lyman Bros, or
the $40 discovered at the Claus Spreck-
els bank Marshal Brown said yester-
day that in the search for the photo
grapher he had met with several OBJ
stacles, but hoped yet to place the
criminality with the man who did the
work or with men who have been is

yesterday.
Another case of expert and likewise
successful forgery has engaged the at

Tnnumerable clues have been followed
and the officers are satisfied as to the
offenders, but have been unable to Sc
cure sufficient evidence. All the news

time to time there have been ac-

Chinese by a ring of haoles. The con-
tanners in each instance were the same

the stuff inside, instead of being the
drug so highly priced by the Chinese,
has in each case turned out to be a
mixture Of molassess and poi. Since
taro became scarce, molasses alone has
been used. The puzzle of the thing to
the police has been that the tins have
every time been properly stamped. 1t
was not believed that the revenue
stamps could be secured from the
United States and it is now know that
the necessary gummed labels were
made in Honolulu. The counterfeits
were just about perfect. Three colors
are used on these stamps, and in the
Hawaiian made mark, every color and
detail appears correct. 1t is doubtful if
such an offense could be punished by
statute, but the Marshal has naturally
been anxious to break up the ring of
swindIers. One of two of the men are
watched pretty closely by the police |
and one, after serving time in Oahu |
prison on conviction Of burglary, has |
gone out of the Jurisdiction of the Ha-
waiian Courts to reside.

Housekeepers all around are talking Of
the fine quality of goods bought at our
Grocery Department AS the news
spreads, so our groceries spread all

There is only one conclusion to be
drawn, and that is: that the quality of
goods must be right-not only that,
but the prices are right, the attention
is right, and the goods are in the right
condition.

they make. The following are a few
