NOT THE WIsEsT WAY.

1t is not always best to wait until it
is needed before buying a bottle of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy. Quite frequently the
remedy is required in the very busiest
season or in the night and much incon-
venience and suffering must be borne
before it can be obtained. 1t costs but
a trifle as compared with it's real worth
and every family can we'll afford to keep
it in their home. 1t is everywhere ac-
knowledged to be the most successful
medicine in the world for bowel COM
plants. For sale by all dealers and
druggists. Benson Smith SS Company,
general agents, Hawaiian Islands.

A DELIGHTFUL LUAU.

A delightful luau was given Saturday
evening at the Waikiki residence of
Captain and Mrs. A. Gartenberg. 1t
was gotten up by Mrs. Gartenberg in
honor of Major and Mrs. Mills and the
officers of the Sixth artillery, and as a
surprise to Captain Gartenberg. The
house was very beautifully decorated,
but the feature of the entertainment
was the thoroughly Hawaiian character
of the spread. The menu included a very
wide variety of native dishes prepared
in the best Hawaiian methods. Hand
some souvenir menu cards in water COL
orS were provided for each guest.

The Chicago Inter Ocean thus describes
General Lawton: To-day, Sc years of
age, Lawton is as good physically as he
ever was. And he is physical marvel.
He stands feet inches and weighs 21O
pounds. He is straight, long armed, deep
chested and thin flanked. He does not
carry IN ounce of fat; he Is bone and
sinew and muscle. His teeth are sound,
and his stomach is perfect. His only
sign of age is few gray hairs. Neither
starvation in the southwest nor ease in
Washington nor the sun or fever of Cuba
and the Philippines has left mark.
When he feels like it, he works 4S hours
at stretch. When the mood takes him,
he sleeps as long without turning over.
He may fast two days and then eat two
dozen reedbirds at sitting. He is a
bachelor. If he ever had an affair of
the heart, his friends have never heard
of it. He is not pretty man. His hair
stands up like brstles on brush. His
forehead is high and narrow, his cheek
bones prominent, his jaw square and his
lips thin. His mustachc droops. His
eye is the fighters eye-gray.

DESPERATE STREET BATTLE
Ono Nan Killed and Six wounded,
Two Fatally.


Two Fatally.
Texarkana, Tex, July 15.--At New
Boston, Bowie county. Texas, there
occurred yesterday one of the widest
and most desperate street battles that
has yet been recorded In the fighting
history of that town. The trouble
emanated from q fuss over a barbed
wire fence which separated the farms
of Ira Smith and w. d. Hays. The
two men met at prayer meeting last
Sunday, when their case was talked
over, resulting in fight, in which
Hays was bested. The difficulty was
brought before the peace officers, and
the men were arrested.
At their trial yesterday and while
a recess was on the difficulty was re-
opened. Smith went into saloon, w.
d. Lays and his brothers, Hall and
s. }. Hays, following him. Shooting
began at once. Smith, who is said to
have been unarmed, was killed out
right. His friends came upon the
scene and took part in the conflict
They were Jack, John and Bill Tricks
A general battle then resulted. When
their revolvers were emptied the par
tlclpants used the butt ends of their
weapons with deadly effect.
W. d. Hays was mortally wounded;
s. j. Hays received crushed skull and
will die; Hall Hays was shot in the
arm; ]. B. Manning, ex-county attor-
ney, and not participant was shot
twice, one ball passing through his
body. Two other bystanders were also
wounded, one, merchant named w.
Fl. Hart, having his arm shot off.
Hall Hays was arrested, and other
arrests will follow. Ira Smith and the
Hays boys were cousins.

She nelieNed In Wifclea.

One of the grounds which Hugo Lam
hey alleged in his suit for divorce against
Anna Lambey, which was tried in Judge
Nachritz's court the other day, resulting
In decree for the plaintiff, was that his
wife believed in witchcraft. The allega-
ton in his petition on that point AYERS
that the defendant is very superstitious
and believer in witches and witchcraft;
that against the wishes of plaintiff she
has been In the habit of consulting medi-
ums and witch doctors and performing
ridiculous lamentations and ceremonies,
tending to turn plaintiff into ridicule and
contempt among his neighbors and
friends, and that she accused the neigh
bors Of bewitching her and threatened to
assault them for looking at her with the
evil eye."
Lambey stated in his testimony that
his wife on one occasion put what was
termed witch's love potion in his coffee.
While the potion did not have the desired
effect of increasing bis love for her, 1t
produced very uncomfortable effect on
him physically. Another peculiar prac-
tice Of his wife. Lambey stated, was that
she would boil certain ingredients in a
pot at midnight and stir them with a
feather.-St. Louis Republic.

AN ECHO OF TIE sTETs0N WILL.

Hrs. strtson's Daughter by "A Former
Husband Claims the Estate.
Chicago, July 15.-Louis c. Hitch
cock, a special agent for New York
insurance company, is sought for by
police officers, in whose hands are
warrants sworn out by Katherine
Hitchcock, who claims to be his wife
and who charges him with bigamy and
other offences. Policemen searched
the residence at 2213 North Paulina
street yesterday for Mr.. Hitchcock and
Mrs. Emma Smith, with whom he is
said to have been making his home,
but neither could be found.
Behind the effort to have Hitchcock
arrested is tangled story, which
comes to the surface as result of the
litigation over the 100000 estate
left by John Stetson, the Boston mil
lionaire and theatrical manager, who
died three years ago, and the SUISSE
quent death of his widow, Katie
Stokes, the once famous circus rider
and stage celebrity. Mrs. Katherine
Hitchcock figures in the story as the
daughter of Katie Stokes by a mar
riage previous to that with Stetson.
and consequently claims to be the sole
heir to the fortune.
Mrs. Hitchcock's chief object in seek
ing to place her husband in the hands
of the police, she says, is to recover
quit claim deeds to the Stetson estate,
to which she alleges her signature was
obtained by Hitchcock through in
timidation.
When StetsOn died he left Mrs.
Hitchcock's mother all his property,
and ten days later Mrs. Stetson died
without making a will. Since that
time, Mrs. Hitchcock says, she has
been harrassed constantly by other
claimants to the estate who are try
ing to prove she has no legal standing
in the case.
