FOR TWO IN THREE.
Another Argument for Harness
Racing Change.

Racing Change.
A good many people who do not at
all claim to be acquainted with the
| fine points Of horse racing, but who
enjoy track contests and who always
! patronize the pastime, are becoming
interested in the proposal to have here
after all trotting and pacing events
| settled by best two heats in three in
stead of best three in five Said one
of the interested persons yesterday:
Some people will argue that it
seems ridiculous to alter down here in
the Hawaiian Islands the rules that
have been in force in the United States
ever since trotting races began. AS
matter of fact the reform originated
over there. The United States has the
harness racing centers of the world.
For some time both breeders and the
public have been asking for the
change. 1t is being made Califor-
MIA may be said to be fairly represen-
tative in this matter. There has just
been published the program for two
weeks of racing at Oakland. It has
g. harness events and not a single
one is a three in five affair. There
are listed some so Of pacing and trOt
ting mile dashes. The remaining dOz-
en- are best two out of three heats.
Oakland should be plenty good enough
for Honolulu to pattern after.
Il maintain that there is really alb
surdity in making two horses come out
FIVE times to compete for purse, as
has several times been the case here. !
In a two out of three race the best !
horse will win and that is not always |
so where it is three out of five. There |
will not be anything like the oppor- |
tunity for making combinations when |
the dispute is to be settled in three |
heats. In the three in five method a |
couple of horses can be used against
the best one and kill him off in a cou
pie Of heats. This is often done.
1T seems reasonable to me that a
horse beating his field twice shows his
as much as if he is punish
ed several hours. Of course there is
the other side, making the claim that
skates and crabs fit only for merry
gO-rOunds can be dOctOred UP to go a
couple of heats and best a really sound
and good and valuable horse. The
California men don't appear to think
hat this consideration should be reck-
1ned, even in the matter Of a dash.
ell you horses, winning or losing, are
worked pretty hard in a race and they ,
,annOt stand so much down here as in
cold country. Three heats is enough. ,
The public will hail the change
With delight, for the three in five af-
airs have become monotonous and I'M
We cannot have racing
many times year in Hawaii and when
here is a program it should have vari-
ty and should be run off in good time.
asst Saturday the match, settled in @
hree straight heats took an hour and -
quarter. At the best possible rate 4
on cannot have more than two or
lree harness races in a day Here
he matter will be settled, I suppose.
Y the executive committee of the
0ckey Club. They should take every
hing into the case and if they do I
link they viii vote for two in three
eats. That ought TO do for harness
orses when runners go the dashes"

To Meet at Vinita

AT the late grand lodge meeting OF
the Anti-Horsethief association, held
at COffcyville, Vinita was selected
for the next meeting, the second We'd
neSday, 1899. This territory is attach
ed to the Kansas jurisdiction and the
meeting named will bring $50 or 400
delegates. Before that time, in fact
almost at once, it is proposed to insti-
Gute a branch of the organization here,
which should by all means be
done. Rev. Jamison, of Coody's
Bluff, is the organizer for
this section, and was discussing the
subject With some interested parties
Saturday. The possibilities of good
10 the membership, and to the com
nunity as well, are difficult to even
estimate. A timely example is the
Sheffield murder case which was
worked up by the membership and re-
suited in placing the culprits behind
the bars in less than a week.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local application as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused 10y an inflamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining Of the
eustachian tube. When this tube is
Infamed you have rumbling sound
Or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case Of deafness (caused by catar-
rh) that cannot be cured by Halls

The house was tastefully decorated in

CONFEDERATION at Wagner.

Wagner suffered last Wednesday
night from a big fire. Fourteen bus
iness houses were burned. The fire
originated in the neighborhood of the
Pioneer saloon and swept everything
in the entire block north. The amount
of the loss is not estimated but will
reach high into the thousands. Most
of the buildings were frame structures
and whensonce on fire, there was no
possible chance of saving them. Our
information is that most everything
on the east side of main street from the
ST. Charles hotel, north, was burned.

Killing Near Lenapah.

Gus Lowry colored, from near Lena
pah, is in Jail here charged with the
killing of Nathan Sheffield, last Mon
day night a few miles west of that
place. Lowry and another colored
man named Chas. Keys are charged
with the murder, and there seems to
be strong chain of circumstantial
evidence against them. Keys is in
Jail at Coffeyvllle, Kan, and will he
brought back soon. One of the ne
groes owed Sheffield about $1,000 and
the latter held a mortgage on prop
erty enough to cover it.
Judge Don Carlos finished the in
vestigation of the Sheffield murder
case Friday afternoon. Gus Lowry
and VIM. Farris were held for the
murder of Nathan Sheffield, and
Charles Keys was discharged, the evil
dence against him not being deemed
sufficient to warrant the commissioner
in holding him. However, Keys was
re-arrested and he'd on another
charge. Lowry and Farris were sent
to Muscogee and placed in Jail Friday
night

When spectacles Were New.

In the days when spectacles were
introduced the world was not all
wise. Glasses became so fashion
able that people did not wait until
necessity compelled them to adopt
the now custom. Whether their
eyesight was bad or good, those who
would be stylish wore spectacles.
In Spain they formed part of the
costume of every we'll dressed per-
son.
The object of the wearer in put
ting on glasses was to increase the
gravity of his appearance and rem
der himself more directly imposing.
A you e monk who had, through
the assistance of his family, caused
his order to succeed in an important
lawsuit, felt himself literally re-
warded when the prior, having en-
braced him warmly, testified his
gratitude by saying, Brother, put
on spectacles.
The glasses of speotacles were
proportional in size not to the eyes,
but to the rank of the wearer, those
worn by the Spanish mobiles being
as large as ones hand. The Mar
quis of Astorga, viceroy Of Naples,
after having had his bust sculptured
in marble, particularly enjoined the
artist not to forget his beautiful
spectacles. Youths Companion.
