A STORY OF KIDNAPPING

Chief engineer Wheeler of the tug
Fearless a small baby a supposed ma
tive kidnapper and j. Freeman and
wife were the actors in a brief but
thrilling drama last night at Emma
square. 1t was while Bergers band
was entertaining large crowd.
Wheeler stood near a fence on which
a small baby was perched and as the
yOungster seemed in a position from
which he might fall Wheeler put his
arm out as a protector. Mr. and Mrs.
Freeman, the mother and father, sat
close by.
Wheeler left during one of the inter
missions. A few minutes afterwards
Mrs. Freeman looked up and saw a big
native grab her baby from the fence
and run away with it. She screamed
and gave the alarm and then followed
her husband in giving chase to the ma
tive, who held the baby in affectionate
embrace and ran as if his life depended
upon his speed.
Wheeler had gone about block away
when he was suddenly hailed from be-
hind. He turned and saw a native,
carrying baby.
Here" said the breathless Hawaiian
you forgot your baby" and he held the
wondering child out for Mr.. Wheeler
to take it, The baby's eyes were getting
rather big, says Wheeler, and a good
cry seemed to be coming.
IT'S not mine," yelled Wheeler step
ping back The native looked at him
| for a moment. Then he heard the out
cry behind him and he showed The baby
at Wheeler and fled faster than ever.
The terrified parents soon came to
where the chief stood, with the baby
| awkwardly in his arms. Both parents
were ready to scrap with the bold vii.
| liam who had done the kidnapping
Wheeler handed the precious bundle
over to the mother telling how it haC
happened and she went away all Smiles
while the youngster began its cry anc
the native to cover ground except wheT
he stopped to kick himself.
HE meant to restore a baby to ar
absent minded father" said Wheeler
"but he really made quite a bad break.

MASSACHUSETTS,.
Two Hundred Workers Engaged to
Come to Honolulu This Month-Terms
of the Contracts.

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, November l..
Frank Alves of New York, represent
ing George e. Baldwin, who is inter-
ested in the Hawaiian Sugar Planta-
ton association, is in the city looking
for white laborers. He arrived here
Sunday, and if what he says is correct
he has secured quite large party in
this city who are ready to try their
luck in the new territory of the United
States.
Mr.. Alves states that he expects TO
leave New Bedford, November with a
party of about 200 who have signed con-
tracts to work for the Sugar Plantation
association for three years Most of the
party are French Canadians and Port
uguese. They will proceed from here
to New York and thence across the con-
tinent to San Francisco, which place
they leave for Honolulu November 10.
The Hawaiian Sugar Plantation as
sociation being desirous of introducing
white labor on the islands, has agents
in it's employ in various sections of the
United States, and all who accept the
terms of the company by signing a
three years contract have the expense
of transportation paid. Mr.. Alves,
while here, has sought only men and
women who are unemployed or who
profess to be without work.
Able bodied men are to be paid $22
per month for eight months in the
year, while employed in the fields, and
$1.50 per day for four months, while in
the mills. Women and children over IL
years of age are to be paid from $40 tc
SIS per month. In case of extra work
the prospectus makes hattering offers
especially as ten hours is the stipulated
days work. 1t is also agreed in the
contracts which each Individual signs
| that the company shall furnish free
| rent, water and fuel, and furnish medi.
| cal treatment free of expense to the
emigrants who are willing to take W
| their abode in the Sandwich islands.
| Briefly the conditions under which
these laborers have been secured are
given above, and in speaking of his
work in this city, Mr.. Alves says he has
| been much more successful than he
| anticipated But those who make thi:
venture will find that they are not
making the trip for fun, for the com
pany is thus resorting to free trans.
| pOrtation, etc, is determined that eacf
| signer of a contract shall work for thu
wage paid him, and according to Mr.
Alves it is work in dead earnest.
| One interesting fact in connection
with this matter is that there are 20
| residents of our city who are ready t
enter into the arrangements, and among
| them, Mr.. Alves says, are several fam
| lilies,

officers were elected and the vote cast
at tAe last state election was counted

COURSE IN AGRICULTURE
Winter Instruction at the State UNI

Winter Instruction at the State Unit
Preparations are now being made for
the winter course in agriculture at the
university of Nebraska. This course
offers simple and practical instruction
in agriculture for eleven weeks at q
season of the year when farm work
is least pressing. Requirements for
entrance is simply a good knowledge:
OF the primary English branches as
taught in the district schools. The
subjects that will be pursued the first
year are: The soil, dairying. horticul-
ture, stock raising, diseases of animals,
plant pests, engineering and carpen-
terry and blacksmithing. In the sec
ond year the student is given an OPP
portunity to pursue work in field crops,
soil laboratories, farm accounts, horti-
culture, stock breeding, injurious in
sects, mathematics and agricultural
engineering. The estimated expense
for the eleven weeks course is between
S35 and $40, proportional about as fol-
lows: Room rent 50. table board $24.
books So. shop deposits ST., registration
fee ST. Excellent facilities are pro-
vided at the university for giving this
instruction. The new farm school
building, erected last winter at a cost
OF $50, 900, provides ample lecture room
for classes. The dairy hall is large
and well equipped and there is also in.
the same a stock judging Dom and a
laboratory for soil study. A veterin-
airy hospital and an agricultural chem
zeal laboratory are also located at the
farm. On the campus proper the libra
ries, museums, baths, lectures, con-
certs and other accessories are availa-
BILE to the students. This is certainly
an excellent opportunity for a young
man who is obliged to spend most of
his time in actual work on the farm to
take eleven weeks of lecture work
combined with actual practice in those
branches requiring skill and knowl-
edge. The attendance the past few
years has grown rapidly, and all indi-
%cations point to double the number for
the coming session. The course will
begin January 2, 1901, and continue
until March 90.
