ache, dull, heavy pains, mucous dis
charges from the nose, sore throat and

bronchial troubles. It kills the disease
germs, heals the lungs and prevents the

by far that has ever been found in that
section. Pieces of it we're exhibited in
the city yesterday that were literally
full of wire gold. Some of the frag-

clinging together, as if they were tied
with it. Some of the wires arc several
inches long, and some of the pieces
that had been shattered could be rat

DOlNGs AT PIERRE.
The Solons are Strengthening Many Bills
Only two Weeks More.

The past week at Pierre has not wit
messed the passage of large number
of bills, the lawmakers being very crit
ical as to what goes upon the statute
books, and they are right in it. The
state isn't in ueed of great deal of
new legislation.
DIR. Il. Il. Clough has just returned
to Deadwood from Pierre, and the Pio-
neer-Times says that he twas feeling
much pleased over the work being done
by the present legislature. He was be-
fore the appropriation committee in
behalf of the Soldiers Home at Hot
Springs, and his Communications
w re given favorable report in both
houses. From present indications the
Home will be given good support by
the legislature. and its maintenance
for the next two years will not be so
conjectural as it has been for the two
years just ended. The Black Hills del
egation. the doctor says, is "a credit to
this part of the state, and is thestrong-
est representation that ever went from
here. IL. L. Cooper, in the senate. is
an indefatisablc worker. and Il. H.
Warren. of the Speariish Mail, who is
representing this county in the lower
house, is right on his dignity, and is

The Argus. Leader report says that
the bill providing for state board of
embalmers was passed, also the bill
providing for taxing tran sient herds of
cattle.
1t is expected that the remainder of
the session will be lively in the passage
of meritorions bills and appropriation
measures. The general appropriation
bill was expected to be introduced
Thursday.

says:
Many applications have been made
for the place made vacant by the death
of Porter Warner, receiver of the

son of the deceased, aspires to succeed
his father, and it is understood that
Representatives-elec Burke and Gam.
BILE have recommended him for the

consul is Granville G. Bennett. The
place is at Sidney, N. s. W., now held

WAS A CLOSE CALL
George 0akIy Sends a Bullet
After Frisco" Conductor.
HAD PUT HIM OFF TRAIN
Sends Letter to Chief Jones
Asking for His Property.

A passenger on the Frisco train yes
terday morning refused TO show ticket
or pay his fare and when the train
reached the "Y'' near Oak street the con-
ductor stopped the train and put his man
off and stepped back upon the platform
of the car. AS ne did so a shot was fired
from a revolver in the hands of the man
who had but a moment before been put
off. The bullet imbedded itself in the side
of the car close to where the conductor
was standing. The signal TO go ahead
had been given and the train went on.
When it reached the Santa Fe depot the
conductor reported the case to officer
Dunbar and he began a search for the
man, who had walked into town and was
warming himself in the Rock Island de-
pot waiting room when Officer Dunbar
walked in and arrested him. The officer
searched the man for the revolver and
found it, besides a long, sharp dirk about
eight inches long. The man was request
ed to come along with the officer and
while walking up Douglas avenue made
a leap which the officer said was close to
twenty feet, and then started into a run
that was too swift for Dunbar. He pulled
the gun he had taken from his prisoner
and shot at him five times but the man
succeeded in making good his escape. The
case was reported to the police station,
and later in the day Chief Jones received
the following letter:

The Hawaiian gazette., 1899-12-12

We elsewhere print few words from
Bishop Willis denying the statements
made in a New York telegram about
the object of Bishop Po.ter's visit to
these Islands. The Hawaiian Bishop
ventures the remark that the article
bears upon its face the imprint of local
manufacture 1t is quite possible that
the story had local inspiration but the
Advertiser is in position to know that
1t was widely printed under an Eastern
date line and that it was started on it's
rounds by the Associated Press. We
suppose that some travelling Ha-
waiian told the story in an interview
and the publisher gave II to the press
agency.

pie regard Hawaii as a place where
semi-barbarians hold high revel and
the limit of indecency is easily reached.
The impression has no right to exist
but 1t has been carefully inculcated
with results which are detrimental.
even in business sense. to the well
fare of these Islands. We hope that,
