With the means at its command,
with the modern scientific methods
and with carefully selected staff OF
medical men the authorities ought
certainly to be in position to stop,
or at least check, shy epidemic in
Hawaii mel. We have before US a
letter written to the Board OF Health
on July 4, 1853, by DR.. Wight, Of
Kohala, which shows the disadvant-
ages under which the health auth
critics we're working in those days
when the smallpox decimated the
population through the lack Of
system, the want OF knowledge and
the Indifference OF the authorities.
A few extracts from the old letter
may be OF interest to those who,
during recent period, have fought
epidemics in Honolulu.

THIEL COLLEGE
The Place of the Annual Inter
Collegiate Contest.

West Virginia Representatives have
Gone to Take Part In the Event
Spear Of the CoInmbians is the Orator
from Here-Seyeral Others go With
Him-We Have won it Twice and
Have good Chances this time.
The representatives of the Univer-
sity have gone to Greenville Pa, to
do battle for the institution in the
contest between the colleges of West
Virginia and Western Pennsylvania.
This is the fourth annual contest
since 1t has been started and it will
be held at Thiel college.
Two years ago it was held here and
West Virginia University won the
prize, Win Campbell being the lucky
contestant. Last year again the
University was triumphant Charles
Folden carrying eff the medal. Not
only did he win at Waynesburg but
Henry White was elected President
of the association.
This year at Thiel College we have
hopes of repeating the work done
III ohS idou WV gSdio- WI. oPCai va
the University who is our representa-
tive is very forcible speaker and has
been trained down to the winning
point. Those who have heard him
say that he is In fine form and that
If he is beaten the man who wins
will be one Of the warmest orators
that ever happened
The party that went to the contest
was composed Of Mr.. Spear the con-
testant, Mr.. Henry White president
of the Association, Mr.. A. W. Smith
delegate from the Parthenon Society
rnd Will John delegate from the Col
umbians. They left on the morning
train on Tuesday and will reach
Greenville tonight. The contest will
be held on Wednesday night and we
will hear the result possibly that
night after it is over.
Each of the eight colleges in the
Association are expected to be repre-
sented this year. The place of meet
ing next year has not yet been fixed
upon but it is not likely that i. will
be here as we have had it recently.
The other schools will want it in
their turn.

WANTS A PARDON.
Fighting Tom Cooper wants to
get Out of the Pen.


He is not Such bad Man as He is
Painted-Great man Chase Which
Ended near Here-Fake Detectives
Land their Man by the Aid OF Local
Police-Cooper is well Known here
and Owns Some Property in the
Mountain.
Application will be made to the
Board of Pardons for the release of
Tom Cooper from the penitentiary
says the Pittsburg dispatch. No
tice was served upon District Attor-
ney John F. Haymaker yesterday.
The paper was originally signed by
j. H. McCreery as attorney, but as
Mr.. Haymaker refused to recognize
him as an attorney his name was
erased Cooper is the Baldwin town
ship man who was sent to the peni-
Tertiary for three years on several
charges of felonious assault and
arson One night when GU spree
he burned down his own house and
set fire to those Of some of the neigh
bors, besides shooting at several
persons who came across his path.
Cooper, who became known as the
Terror OF Baldwin" kept IN hiding
several days, and alter "a chase for
several weeks he was arrested in
West Virginia
The petition first sets forth that
Cooper is not knowingly guilty Of
any crime and at the time the acts
were committed he was addicted to
the use If drink, and if the ofienses
were committed by him it was when
he was irresponsible by reason of
the influence of liquor. and that
since his commitment he has re
solved not to again use intoxicating
liquors.
Cooper's good army record during
the War of the Rebellion is stated
and attention called to the fact that
he had always been law abiding,
property accommodating citizen prior
to the crazy acts which resulted in
his conviction. The fact that he is
10 years of age is also cited as an
argument for his release.
This is the celebrated Sighting
Tom" Cooper who led the ''detec
tives'' such merry chase through
the woods to the mountain, near
here. They arrested him with the
laid of local officers without the
slightest trouble. He would have
given up at any time that the oil
GERS had gotten to him and demand
ed his surrender. There never was
a greater fraud as far as bad man
goes than this same Fighting Tom. y
The detectives that were here were
about as rank frauds as ever hit the
turn pike and they were the laughing
stock of the whole country. They
showed up well in Pittsburg news
papers however and to the unsophisti-
Gated residents Of that place they were
hailed as heroes since they had gone
into the wilderness and captured a
desperate.
Cooper would not hurt anyone If be
was sober and he did not hurt anyone
very much when he was drunk. All
the hullabaloo was uncalled for and
he will likely be turned loose. He
has good deal of personal property
in the mountains near here and viii
likely come back to get 1t when re.
leased He is well known here.

A BLACK EYE.
Valley District Hits The Rail-
road Proposition Hard.

Defeated by Small YOte-Sixteen Ma
j0rify Against the BOnds-Misrepre
sentation is said to be the Reason for
the Defeat-Another Hitch VIII be
Asked For the Plan-Our Election
viii Likely be Held at the Same Time.
Valley District defeated the rail
road bonds on Saturday in the elec
ton which was held over there to
pass on the matter They had been
asked to give $4,000 to aid the rail
road and had been having very
warm time of it over the question.
President Martin came back from
the seat Of war where he had been
while the election was being held
and he was seen in regard to the
matter. He stated that there had
not been any doubt at all of the re-
suit until some reports had been
started that had prejudiced the peo-
pie against the movement.
1t had been told that the bonds
would be taken to build the Cheat
River Road and that the Kingwood
and Morgantown road would never
be built at all. OF course the people
of the district did not want to vote
bonds to aid an enterprise that
would help SO few Of them and be-
fore the thing was found out enough
votes had been pumped into the
ballot box TO defeat the plan.
However the advocates of the
measure are not discouraged and
will ask for another election on the
same question by the same district.
The county court of Preston will
meet on Friday to canvass the re-
turns. When they get together they
will be asked to put the matter to
vote again.
This Mr.. Martin says there is no
doubt they will do. The people are
very much interested in the plan
proving success and they will see
to it that the court puts it again I'M
til it carries. The county court of
this county will be asked to set the
same day for their election. This
will probably be June seventeenth
and we will vote at the same time
that Valley district takes its second
hitch at the matter.
Mr.. Martin thinks that if the cam
paign is fought fairly and the people
understand just what is wanted that
the vote will be very large for the
bonds OF course if misrepresenta-
ton is resorted to aud the voters be-
lieve what they hear rather than
what they know to be facts the plan
can never get through. He hopes
for fair fight next time.
The defeat of the measure is a
surprise to both the friends and OPP
ponents of the plan. 1t was conced-
ed by the opposition that it would
carry by substantial majority.

Advertising Gauge Of Public Intel
ligencc.

1t may be rightly asserted that adj
vertising ins this age is a gauge OF
public intelligence. One of the most
natural results OF the industrial and
commercial development of the Uni
ted States during the past fifty years
has been the concentration of popular
attention upon the various elements
which have tended to promote that
development. 1t is admitted by sue
cessful business men that advertising
is one of the most important Of those
elements. and consequently the public
watches iDtently the systems adopted
by the tradesmen in conducting their
newspaper advertising. On the other
hand the merchant is compelled to
keep pace In the make up Of his 'ads"
with the broadening intelligence Of
the people; and as result the legiti-
mate advertiser truthfully reflects
that intelligence.

Postage to be Reduced to One Cent.

The enormous increase in the num-

one cent an ounce instead of two
cents. The president who succeeds
in getting such measure through

perhaps, than the esteem in which
