Knights of the Maccahees.

The regular meeting of Kenosha
Tent No. 80 will be held at the A. O.
Q. W. hall on Park street, Wednesday
evening June Is, at s o'clock sharp.
1t is rumored among the Maccabees
that Sir Knights Hanson, Jackson and
Milky have each candidate to present
to the tent, and one of our oldest mem
bers, Sir Knight Wright, has several.
He is hustler from away back. Don't
he bashful, boys, but come right ahead
with your candidates. This order is
bound to grow as it can be easily seen
by the way the applicants are coming
in.
All those wishing to take part in the
degree team must be present tonight.
1t is expected that Sir Knight Com
mander Hansen will appoint captain
for the degree team, and committee
to look after the paraphernalia and the

Members belonging to the K. O. t.
N. can join the army, and should they
fall they will have the consolation of
knowing, beside saving their country,
that their policy will be promptly paid
and fraternal protection to the widow,
orphans and dependents.
The many advantages the Maccabee-
offers are too numerous to mention at
This writing, but sufficient to say, with
its large membership, financial standing
low rate of assessments, fraternity
protection, social welfare of it's members
and the prOmptness in which it pays its
policies is sufficient for any conscienti-
Gus man, who takes interest in life
insurance and protection.
Applications can be had at the tent
or from any of the members.

HUNDREDS of years ago in the days
when good King Alfred ruled England,
man could hang his purse on the
branch of tree and leave it there sew
eral days with perfect safety. But in
these times even an Ex-Governor can't
go to a quiet banquet with his money
securely tied up in his pocket without
having it stolen. History does not
always repeat itself

THE farmers will feel the capture OF
Manila before the rest of the people, as
all the fiber which goes to make the
Irvine which they use in binding comes
from that place and all shipments
have been completely shut off. The
price of Irvine this year will very nearly
reach the twenty cent mark, while last
year it retailed at eight. This will
work hardship on most of our farm
ers, but more especially on the large
wheat growers of the West.

THE time this war is fought out to a
conclusion, and the terms of peace
have been determined, there is every
likelihood that Germany, France and
Austria will discover that they have
not been in it. In other words, they
will discover that United States is
neither a Japan or a Greece. They
will not squeeze" the United State
into line of action or into any DISPOSE
ton of the fruits of it's conquest OF
Spain that is contrary to it's own wishes

AID FROM GERMANY.
SPANIARDS ARE STILL SAN SUlNE
OF SUCCESS.
THE PRESS rs OPTIMISTIC.
Has the Idea That Emperor William Can
Be Induced by Generous Concessions
to Assist in Saving the Philippines
NO Peace Negotiations.

Madrid, June 15.-The Spanish press.
has increased it's optimism, based on
the belief that Germany intends to pre-
vent bombardment of Manila by
making a naval demonstration. The
newspapers urge sacrifices with the
view Of securing Germany's assistance,
and political leaders express themselves
IN favor of offering Germany the fol-
lowing concessions in return for her
taking the iniative in checking Amer
ica.''
Firstly, naval stations and coaling
depots in Spanish Oceanica.
Secondly, Spanish concurrence in the
development of Germany's commercial
and political relations with Morocco.
The minister for foreign affairs, Duke
Almodovar de Rio, told the newspaper
men that the Spanish government had
not taken any step in the direction of
peace negotiations. The minister also
said he had not received any confirma-
ton of the reported third attack on
Santiago de Cuba.
The minister for war, Gen Correa,
declared that the situation at Manila
was better than was supposed. He said
Capt. Gen. August had concentrated
10000 men for the defense Of the city,
and his batteries of artillery are as
serted to comprise 1919 long-range
guns.

London, June 15.-The Berlin CORE

seems almost impossible that Germany

CHAMPIONS IN THE ARENA.
Casey and Dunn, the Worlds Record Handball Players, Made Their
 Appearance at Ryan's c urt.

The great event of yesterday with the handball players was at Phil Ryan's San Francisco court at S5S Howard street, be- tween the great Eastern players Casey and Dunn. Both of the Eastern cham pions showed the San Francisco players a trick or two at the game. Professor Casey, who has passed into the second half of the century, looked as though he had just turned his thirty-frst year.
 When time was called the newly fitted up court of Phil Ryan was packed to it's in the gallery. The crack players were paired off with Casey and James c. Ney- ion on one side as against James Dunn and T. r. Bonnet, License Collector, on the other.
 The game while lacking the spirit of a championship game was nevertheless well contested. The score stood at the finish: Bonnet, 21-15, 1-21, 21-16, l7-21, 2l-20.
 A return of this game will be played on next Wednesday afternoon. The other amateur games played at the same court yesterday were: M. Basch and M. Joyce against ": Hamilton and E. White 2l-

An Offensive smokestack.

The residents of the Potrero and South San Francisco are up in arms against the noxious vapor that comes from the smoke stack of the garbage crematory.
 They say the dumps were bad enough, but the eff1uvfum from decaying matter when saturated with salt water was as to the vapor that blows over the South ern Heights when the garbage plant IS in full working order. Already several complaints have been lodged with the city authorities to have something done to stop the offensive smell that emanates from this big chimney when the work or reducing the city's refuse into smoke and ashes is being carried on. The Potrero people are not the only ones who nave been treated to these fumes. The resi- dents of the southern portion of the city on this side of the channel from Harrison street south have been gratuitously treat ed to their share of the noxiouS vapor when the wind veerS around south or southwest. Even 1T. FitZgibbons, mem Der of the Health Board, had whif Of 1t himself on one occasion when attending at that time he was heard to remark that it was very injurious and should be abated.
 The nuisance is worse at some times than on others. This is the case when the crematory is running on forced draught. Then pieces of half-burnt rags and paper are sent skyward to be blown all over the Potrero hills.
 It Is proposed to hold maSS-meeung at no distant date for the purpose of talk ing joint action on this nuisance and for mulate a protest to both the Board or Su- pervisors and the Board of Health, look ing to the abatement of the evil.

Seen at Sailing of the Ship Sntra for Datch Harbor

followed. The men would not sail on Friday 1t was blowing too hard outside Saturday and yesterday, so if the wind goes down and everything is favorable 8 start will be made to-day.
 For weeks past crowds of curious loungers have watched the work of load ing the Sintram and getting her ready for sea. Yesterday, however, all the crew and the men who are going to Dutch Harbor on the ship were aboard and crowd of over 2000 men, women and chill dren was down to bid them good-by and see the vessel off It was a good-natured crowd, and they stood on the wharf hour after hour laughing and joking over the mishaps of some of the Sintram's passen- gers who had taken too many parting drinks. A number of musicians played aboard the ship until everybody was driven ashore prior to the roll-call. Cap tain WhitelaW took his station at the head of the gangway, and each one of the 130 engineers, painters, carpenters and machinistS went aboard again as his name was called. Then to prevent any from getting aboard, the Sintram was moved out into the stream.
 During the afternoon George Wheeler, a rigger, went overheard, but was pulled ducking. Harry Edwards hat blew over board and exciaiming, There goes part of my KlondilSe outfit!" he jumped in after it. He also was pulled out without the ships deck J. McNally fell and broke his kneecap. He was removed to the Harbor Hospital, where Drs. Zabala and Diggins attended to his injury.
 The Sintram, on her arrival at Dutch Harbor, will discharge her cargo and the work of putting the boats together will begin at once The work will be done under the supervision of Captain T. P. H.
