WANT TO BE MUSTERED OUT
Kansas Volunteers Tired of Camp
Life if There is No More Fighting.

Congressman Charles Curtis stated
today that he had received five tele-
grams from privates in the Twenty
second Kansas regiment asking his aid
in having the regiment mustered out.
One of the kilograms stated that rs per
cent of the soldiers in every company
wanted to return to their homes while
another stated that as high as 80 per
cent of the soldiers in every company
wanted to be mustered out.
Congressman Curtis says that while
the Kansas volunteers are anxious to
fight if there is any fighting to be done.
they do not want to do garrison duty
in time of peace. He says he will see
what he can do towards having the
Twenty-se regiment mustered out
and thinks it will be among those or
dered out of the service.
Taylor Riddle, chairman of the POpu-
list state central committee, has received
a telegram from one of the men in the
TWenty-frSt Kansas regiment which
states that the men do not care to re
main in the army as long as there is
no fighting to be done, and would much
prefer to be mustered out of service
than to be assigned to garrison duty.

PARACHUTEF FAILS TO HOLD
Partially Collapses and a Woman is
Plunged Into the Water.

New York, Aug. 25.-Anna Christensen,
a pretty Swedish girl, who has been one
of the attractions at Bergen beach because
of her daring balloon ascensiOns, was kill
ed yesterday afternoon in the presence of
several thousand people
She had been making ascenstons daily
for the last three weeks. Her husband,
Charles, is an expert aeronaut, and has
been giving exhibitions at fairs and in
all the large cities of the west for the
ed with him, but did not take any part in
the dangerous work until about three
weeks ago
Mrs. Christensen obtained one of the
using in the west, although he strongly
urged her to give up the contract, under
because he knew the danger attending
the exhibition.
A great crowd went to Bergen beach
yesterday particularly to watch the aerial
performance, which had been specially adj
Vert1Sed to contain even more than the
usual intrepid feats.
me Dalloon, with Mrs. Cnrlsllansen IN
the car, assembled to a height Of about 400
feet, where it was held in place by an
anchor rope. She dropped trapeze IN
der the car and performed some OF the
cheered loudly.
Usually when the last act is performed,
the most perilOus one of all, which con-
sists in dropping from the balloon, it is
lowered to within about $50 feet of the
ground Yesterday Mrs. Christensen de-
cided to startle the crowd by making the
drop from the balloon while it was at the
extreme limit of the rope.
Mrs. Christensen unfaStened the para
chute, which has a spread of about II
feet, and held it up so that by graSping
the handle attached to it by rope she
could swing clear from the balloon. When
ready to jump she gave shrill shrek and
some way collapsed and folded so that it
did not catch the air as she descended.

OHIO DEMOCRATS
Name a Ticket and Adjourn Without
Bloodshed.


Dayton, Ohio, Aug. 25.-The Demo-
cratic state convention nominated the
following ticket:
Secretary of state, Upton K. CUTLERY,
of Marion.
Judge of supreme court. Hugh G.
Nichols of CIermOnt.
Clerk of supreme court, David S.
Fisher of Delaware county.
Food and dairy commissioner, John
Baker of Hancock.
Member of the board of public works,
T. Dwight Paul of Summit county.
The effort to get a. new plan of party
organization in Ohio failed of final
adoption, but it was given another
chance by such reference as will bring
1t up next year. The new organization
seems to satisfy those working for the
nomination of Paul J. Sorg for governor
next year and is not displeasing to the
Mclean, Brice or other elements, and
the campaign this year will be made on
the Hanna issue and next year on Sena-
tor Foraker for not taking steps against
Hanna. While the resolutions do not
favor unlimited colonial expansion
General Findlay, chairman of the con-
vention, said the platform meant to ex-
pand by the consent of those to be gov
erned The most decisive feature of
the convention was its preference for
Bryan in 1900 on the same platform as

TO PRINT .eKANsAS APPLE .
Information That Seems Likely to Be
Valuable in Kansas.

Secretary W. H. Barnes of the State
Horticultural society is having trouble
with his kansas Apple Secretary
Barnes spent many sleepless nights
compiling information and statistics
about Kansas fruit. After he had COM
pleted his labors he carried the manu-
script up stairs and placed it before
Secretary of State Bush but he was
given the STONY stare Secretary of
State Bush did not enthuse. He did
not know whether the book could be
printed or not.
1T is the most important book that
has been written for some time" said
Secretary Barnes, land did not offer
it until the printing fund for the fiscal
year was available. am first on the
ground and I want it printed"
Then he deposited his manuscript on
a table and walked away. Nearly
every day since that time Mr.. Barnes
has called at the office of the secretary
of state but the kansas Apple" still
remained in a budding condition with
out the necessary action to ripen it.
Mr.. Bush told Secretary Barnes that
the book would cost several thousand
dollars.
He at once hunted up State Printer
Parks who told him that the work
would not cost more than $500. He went
to see Attorney General Boyle who told
him that the work was valuable and
he would vote to have it printed. State
Treasurer Heflebower said some en-
phatic words and promised that the
book would be printed if he had to
raise the state house from its fOunda-
ton.
But when Mr.. Barnes returned to the
secretary of state he was told that the
other two members of the printing COM
lmittee had the power to order the book
printed if they desired.
Today. Secretary Barnes made another
call Mr.. Bush had just returned.
The horticultural expert received no
announcement and Mr.. Bush said he
did not know whether the book would
be printed or not.
1T now looks as if I could not get
this book printed this year. said Mr..
Barnes after the interview. 1.-THE PEG
pie who raise apples will have their
fruit destroyed and the book will be out
of date. The people are entitled to the
information contained in this book and
they ought to have it,

Remembered the Name.

A Chinaman remembered the name
to good effect last evening. People
coming in on a Palama car at about
6 o'clock might have seen a horse
making out toward Kaihi at very
high rate of speed. On the animals
neck was a Chinaman who was hang
ing to the name with all the strength
he had in his hands. He was calling
for help at the top of his voice and
when last seen was still going out
toward Kalihi with a mounted patrol
man chasing after him.

Goes to the Asylum.

Lonoikahaupu Akela, the insane ma
tive mentioned in the Advertiser, was
examined by DR.. Emerson and the
unfortunate fellow will be sent to
the Insane Asylum. The prison doc
tor found that the man was a preacher
and that he had been subject to fits OF
insanity for the past twenty years or,
ever since he was a very young man.
His father before him had been sub
ject to fits of insanity that resembled
very much the fits taken by Akela.
Usually this native would get over his
insane periods in very short time
but he had been hit very hard this
time.
