Rev. Mr.. Ault held services at
his church and it being a resting
and nursing day for the majority
of church goers from the effects
of the two previous days, many
found it too pressing to keep the
day and so a few showed up.
On Monday, the gay old times
were renewed and the stampede
of horses ranging from 6 to Is in
a crowd found their way to our
beautiful valley, there to respond
to Hon. w. II. Cornwell's kind in
vitation to luau for Senator
Clark. The sweet fragrance of
the MALE and the hala was an
all day perfume and the beautiful
lei lima resting cozily on some
of our fair ones necks made the
gathering more attractive and
pleasing. The day was clear, nice
and cool and with the music fur
nished by the Waihee boys all as
sembled passed the day content
edly and when the word was Civ
en- to "make justice to yourselves"
all partook of a well laden spread
(said to be one of the best ever
witnessed at Iao) intermingled
with "to the health of Senator
Clark, the host and Mr.. Ray" The
occasion was just like a holiday
for the gathering was one of the
largest ever seen at Keapo's and
the laughter and merry-making
such as are only heard and seen
on holidays, was an all-day affair.
The crowd dispersed long after
sunset, with lasting memory of
the hospitality of one of the Po-
haku-kihis of Waikapu.
The steamer Kauai took a
party consisting of Senator Clark,

Hawaii-nei is becoming notorious
in the line OF divorces. We beat the
small States in the West which have
passed laws facilitating divorces
simply to bring people within their
boundaries. We have seen the most
scandalous cases occurring here aud
divorce proceedings taking place
with closed doors and decree nisi
granted by judges who knew and
could not help to know that the suit
was a matter OF collusion between
man and wife. The law forbids col
lusion but dare any of our judges
who have given the decree which
dissolved the sacred tie of marriage
deny that as rule the "collusion"
is before him and that he simply
sits on the Bench as an "accommo-
dator" and helps out OF disagree
able scrape John or Mary.

be of late a burden to some and
to others a stumbling-block, for
within the past few days, suicides
and murders were reported from
the outer districts. Only few
days ago, Sheriff Baldwin was
called to Kahului to see fel0 de
SC, lying stiff, with a tight moose
around the neck. There was no
need of an inquest with such
showings. The Pake's name was
Koo Lum.
The murderer of Lee See of
Keokea, is said to have been To-
Gated and is now lodged in Jail,
he having been today served with
warrant for committing mur-
der on Lee See. The mans name
is Not Me and is also u Keokea
Chinaman. The Sheriff has ample
proofs against the man and when
served with the warrant this
morning he actually shed tears.
Through the efforts of Jim
Thomas, nice time was INDUCED
by the Nawaiehas in dancing
on the eve of the memorable 10Th
at the Court House and those who
presented themselves, after hear
ing that it was all through jim,
that the dance was gotten up,
they pledged all their ballots for
him, in case he would run for
representative when the time
comes Gf it will ever come, hope
sol, whilst others went so far as
to use his name instead of Geo.
Hons in the unmatched mayor
ship of Maui. A nice lunch was
served and the dancers retired,
some in glee, others in huhu, to
prepare for whole days expos
ure in the sun and bitter winds at
the Kahului track.
The 18th revealed nothing more
than the monotonous Saturday
and the rushing of hacks to and
fro, only changed the stiffness a
little. The races commenced
little after 10 and it ended about
3 p. m. Only the people of leisure
took it in and the plantation men,
one and all, owing to the plant
ing season, had to ponder over
the saying Business before
pleasure" There was no bicycle
race and the first race of the day
was for ponies, which was easily
won by Paia Girl, making the
half mile in 81 As, with st. David
very close second.
The third race, trotting and
pacing to harness, Chas. s bested
Daylight this time, making the
mile 2 seconds faster than Day
lights time last Fourth.
Red Pike had a walk-over from
Sans Souci in the one mile dash,
free for all, in 1:5S.
Again, Billy G took honors in
the 9Th race, making the three
quarters in / :26 10.
Red Pike had another walk
over in the one-fonrth mile dash,
in 26 AS.
The last race of the day was
won by Peter in 1:O2. 1T was a
one-half mile dash for all maid
ems. Darkness was withdrawn.
The most exciting race of the
day was the foot race. The fav-
orite of course was Allen Moore,
of Honolulu fame, even with the
Maui girls. Yellow boys were

81 GIRLS In JAIL.
Result of the Riot at the Mitch
ellville School.

Des Moines, Oct. 24.-Sixty-seven
girls who had been inmates of the re-
form school at Mitchellville were
brought to Des Moines at 10 O'Clock
last night and incarcerated in the
county jail. Two or three thousand
people met the train and watched the
procession of girls, two by two, thanked
by deputy sheriffs and policemen,
march from the train to the jail. The
girls marched to the Jail bareheaded,
singing" Break the News to Mother. F"
The back of the revolt has been
broken. No more trouble is antiei-
pated. However, Sheriff Stout ard
several deputies remained at the
school to watch developments. The
ringleaders are among those brought
to Des Moines, and the other girls
will behave themselves.
1t is not known what can be done
with the girls. Many of the older
ones should be in the penitentiary in
the opinion of the officers, and an eff
fort will be made. probably, to send
them there. The question of thei9
disposition will be submitted to At
torney General Remley to-day by the
board of control.

JUDCEDEWEYTALKS. THE BEACON STRIKE
No New Developments and work
Still Suspended.

There We're no new developments
in the situation at Beacon today. The
mines are closed and the men are all
loafing. President Ream of the
United Mine Workers, maintains that
there is no strike on hands, but when
the whistle blew for work Tuesday
morning not man showed up.
The nature of the demands made
by the day men strikes the operators
as peculiar. According to the "Ot-
tumwa agreement"the day men were
to receive nine hours pay, amount
ing to S1.S9, for eight hours work.
This agreement was to remain in
force until next April. Supplement-
al to this was the stipulation that the
day men were to be given work as
miners when they SO desired. On
Tuesday morning all the day men,
about $50 in all, demanded work as
diggers. If their demands could
have been granted the mines could
not have been put in operation be-
cause there would have been no
drivers or top men to handle the
cars. A number of the miners were
asked if they were willing to work
by the day, but they all refused.Ne
men or non-union men would not be
permitted to work, consequently the
mines will be closed indefinitely, or
until some kind of an understanding
is reached.
The closing down of these mines
will make quite difference both for
the men and the community. The
semi-monthy pay rolls have amount
ed to about S12, 900 in cash over and
above powder account and other ex-
penses.
A Local Strike.
The eight miners employed in the
Geo. Cook mine, west of town, are
out on strike for increased pay.

Tells the Ottumwa Press Some
thing About Politics.

Judge A. R Dewey, of the 9Th Dis
trict was conered by Press reporter
at Ottumwa the other day and among
other things he said:
81 know very little of the situation
in the Sixth congressional district,
for aside from Poweshiek and Ma
haska counties have not been over
the district during the campaign. In
these two counties think can safe
ly assure you that the republican ma
jorities will be very large. Blanchard
is certain of reelection to the state
senate from Mahaska and I think
that the county will be able to elect
its county ticket.
81 have found the conditions gen.
orally very encouraging and am of
the opinion the democrats will not
feel very cheerful after the 7th of
November"
"What do you think of the Gear
Cummins senatorial contest?" asked
the reporter.
81 think there is not the slightest
possibility of doubt but that Mr..
Gear will be elected. In fact l think
it will be a sort of band wagon affair.
From what l have heard and from
personal observation. feel confident
that Mr.. Gear will have the hearty
support of fully three-fourths of both
chambers of the state legislature"
"What do you think of the guber-
Material contest?" was asked next.
81 think that Fred White will be
defeated by the largest majority that
he has ever experienced since he en-
tered politics. The democrats show
that they are hard pushed from the
fact that they are using every argu-
ment and descending to greater fall
lacies than they ever have before.
They are making the campaign as
bitter as possible and this, think,
argues we'll for big republican ma
jorities.
every proposition that has been
advanced by the democratic party
this year in behalf of their democra-
cy has been fraught with the greatest
fallacy and they have descended to
some of the greatest untruths. This
will show that they are almost hope
less of victory unless it can be won
through the medium of vituperation
and abuse.
Commenting upon the Judge, the
Press said:
although it is still early, Judge
Dewey is being spoken of as timber
for the supreme court. He is consid-
cred one of the most able judges in
the state and he has fewer reversals
of judgement to his credit than any
iurist in southeastern Iowa. Some of
his opinions have not only been con-
firmed but commended by the SUI
preme bench.
