DOCTORS HAVE HOPE
Mrs. Miller and Miss Gilbert
Resting Easy.
WOUNDS ARE HEALING
Misses Shriver and Chandler
Much improved.

The condition OF the two young women,
Mrs. Miller and Miss Gilbert, who were
so seriously injured in the runaway in
the park last Saturday evening, remains
nearly the same as that on previous
days. Everything IS being done that will
aid the young women and their physi-
clans say that the chances for the recov-
cry of their patients are favorable.
Mrs. Miller seemed to be a little bright
or yesterday and knew those of the fam
lily who were permitted to come into the
rom. Her head apparently does not
trouble her as much as it did formerly.
and the bruises on the body are rapidly
losing their soreness. One arm gives
her much pain yet, and it is Of this that
she still complains.
DIT. Oldham, the physician attending
the young woman, was at the Chandler
home at $50 last night and made a
statement that his patient was resting
as easy as could be expected. He says
that every day, with no more complica-
lions, lessons the chance OF there being
serious results in the condition Of the
young woman
Miss Gilbert rested easily yesterday,
and at different times during the day
talked to the members Of the family who
were in the room. She asked about the
accident and was anxious to read about
it. She is not allowed to talk Of the af-
fair, for fear it might cause her to be-
come excited by the fought of the terri
bic affair.
Miss Gilbert's wounds on the face and
neck were dressed last night and are do
ing as well as could be expected from
the severe cut among the muscles. This
wound is more serious that first thought,
but from present indications will heal
very rapidly. Miss Gilbert has much diff
fculty in swallowing, on account of the
muscles OF her neck being severed, but
takes nourishment at different times dur
ing the day.
DR.. Purdue. the attending physician,
saws that Miss Gilbert's condition IL
about the same as that Of Monday and
Monday night, with good chances of re-
covery.
Miss Schriver is much improved in con-
tition and within a few days will be out,
experiencing nothing but a slight sore
ness from the bruises received on the
body The cut under the right arm is
rapidly healing and does not give any
pain at the present time.
Miss Ella Chandler has almost recov-
cred from her experience and was
around the home yesterday assisting in
attending her sister, Mrs. Miller She
saws very little as yet about the acct
dent and appears to have a dislike Of
having the subject brought up.
Many visitors have called at the two
homes TO see the injured people but the
physicians have given strict orders that
neither Miss Gilbert nor Mrs. Miller are
to be disturbed. One of the essential
thirgs regarding the condition of the two
people as said by the physicians is that
they have absolute quiet in their rooms
and homes.

AT THE EXPOSITION
w. f. Pickett of Wichita is Not Stucl
on Gay Par-ee.

ON gay ESE-cc
W. F. Pickett the West Douglas ave-
nue. produce merchant, who is attending
the Paris exposition, writes John Bagby
the following interesting letter:
Hotel Metropole Bruxelles,
Paris, France, July IS, 1900.
Dear John Bagby: We had fine voy-
age The weather was good and the
steamer was fine and served good meals.
The scenery in Scotland is fine, every
thing so green. 1t is much cooler here
than in the United States. We have seen
quite a number of old castles, built
thousand years ago, that were very in
teresting. London is a good deal like
city in the United States, but some of
the buildings are old style and have lyle
roofs. The tower is filed with odd
swords, guns and armors of every kind,
some of them 800 years old. The English
money bothered US some at first and now
We have French money and all the signs
on the stores and street are in French.
1 see by the papers it is dry and hot
there. 1 hope it won't dry up the corn.
They don't raise any corn at all here
and but little wheat and oats. No fruit
but gooseberries, cherries and few ap-
pies. 1t is a great country to see new
and interesting things, but I, would not
want to live here. The passenger cars
are about half the size of ours and they
are in apartments which will hold about
eight persons each and have no passage
way through the center, but doors on
each side. I see number of old fash
toned long-armed windmills in this town
and there are lots of carts drawn by
dogs and driven by women bare-headed.
They all drink beer and the women are
in the saloons with men drinking beer.
French people serve meals at hotels in
courses and it takes about an hour to
eat a meal and the larger part of it Is
meat.
1 will be at home in a few days after
you get this. Sincerely yours,
w. T. PICKETT

They ARE COUNTERPARIS
striking Resemblance Between
Editor Nihiack and Tom Kim


Tom King, city passenger agent for the
santa Fe in Topeka, was in the city yes
terday a short time. calling on l. p.
Delaney. The feature of his visit was
that Mr. Delaney took him for L. G.
Niblack of Guthrie, and so greeted him
when the two met and when he found
out his mistake the Santa Fe agent had
10 set up the pop. There is a striking
resemblance between the two gentlemen
they looking 50 much alike that even
their most intimate friends can hardly
distinguish the difference. To describe
one would describe both. Mr. Niblack Is
the funny paragrapher Of the Guthrie
Leader ad 1t is claimed for him that he is
the handsomest man in Oklahoma with
out any exception.
Mr. Delaney is arranging for a mat
ing between the two and he anticipates
having some fun.

Judge Estee Makes an Order.

directed to take possession of this
Courtroom, keep the keys and hold
possession of it for the purpose of
public business OF the United States
District Court in and for the Dis
trict OF Hawaii until the further or

1t is further ordered, that the
Marshal proceed Immediately, un.
der the laws Of the United States OF
America and procure such bids as
may be necessary in obtaining six
(6) chairs, not expensive; two (2)
tables, not expensive tables, for the
chambers of the Judge Of this Court,
which chambers are now situated in
the Waikiki end OF this building.
And, said Marshal shall proceed
to put up such shelving tplain shelly
ing) as may be necessary for the &C.
commodatiou OF the books belong
ing to the Judge of this Court, and
that the shelving TO be placed in

Was It Contempt

Judge Humphreys evidently in-
tends to make himself extremely un-
popular, and he is succeeding in a
very brilliant manner. This morn
ing he fined the Court bailiff SIS
because that efficient and intelligent
officer objected to the Judge calling
him sneak. 1t was unmanly of
the Judge to take advantage of his
high position to insult a subor-
dinate officer OF the Court. McGurn
was a man before he became a
policeman, and he was right in as
serting that his character in this
community was as good as that Of
the Judge.
Every member OF the Bar likes
and respects the courteous affable
bailif, who at all times is ready to
do favors to the barristers, jurors,
witnesses and officials. Albert Nc
Gurn will possible pay the fine i'm
posed on him or go TO Jail, but the
community will hold that the Judge,
not the bailiff, is the subject OF con-
tempt.

The Danreggan.

The three tugs in this harbor tried
to pull the bark Duureggan of the
reef yesterday, and after the Iro,
quois and Eleu had left for home
the Fearless continued during the
night to move the big vessel, but
she didn't bud ge an inch, and this
morning che was in the same posi-
tion as when she was wrecked. The
cargo is being thrown overheard;
and we understand that the cement
on board numbering about 1000 bar
rels is spoiled.
Why lighters or scows were not
engaged to take the cargo off we
fail to see. The sea is perfectly
calm and scows could have laid
safely next to the ship while the
cargo was transferred. When the
investigation by the Lloyd people is
held it will be interesting to learn
the peculiar circumstances under
which the fine and heavily insured
vessel was wrecked.
