This would prevent reckless riding

to have a wonderful memory or some

The y. O. U. w. of Kansas City.
Kansas, are contemplating the calling
of large meeting for the purpose of
arranging a celebration in honor of
the orders wonderful growth in Kan
sas during the past year. The order
has about 10000 members in the State

lion in the L. 5. Kansas bears the
distinction of having made the most
rapid growth during the past u
months, and the local lodges think
that a celebration is in order.

going to pillow corn that day, while
the Democrats will follow up their
usual custom of staying up late at a
convention and tumble into bed about
B O'Clock in the morning. In this way
one set of beds will serve both con-
ventions and Fort Scott will not be
over taxed.
Readers of the REGISTER will re-
member that something like year ago
Ernest Birdsell, son of policeman
Birdsell, OF lola, was accidentally
shot in the foot with a small rifle in
the hands of his brother. The wound
seemed slight, and the surgeons did
not think amputation would be
necessary. The wound failed to heal,
however, and although the boy dragged
himself about on crutches, and at
tended the Business College all
winter, he was in constant pain. 1t be-
came so bad at last that his father
sent him to Kansas City. There he
consulted DR.. Griffith who told him
that immediate amputation was the
only thing that would save his life, 3
declaring his surprise that he had
lived so long in the condition he was.
The operation was accordingly per-
formed. and the REGISTER is glad to
report that the young man seems now
to be in fair way to recover.

SIR:-Please allow me space 10
your valuable columns to ane wer an
article in the issue OF the Bulletin
Of August 81, 1900, signed by one @.
B. Wilson, in which he conveyed
The impression that he knew more
than the truth about the number OF
Democrats in both Houses during
the sessions from 1893 to 1895, and
especially charging me with not
having any gratitude for the Mis-
sionaries for the education they
gave me. =
As far as whether the Democrats
were IN the majority in both Houses
according to his figures or in the
minority according to my figures /
do not care to discuss for that is a
matter OF record.
believo aside from the tickets he
checked away in his trunks, he had
some books and other literary mat
ters to bring home and in his read
ing he may have overlooked a few
things; so he had better read up a
little more aud see if Wise is as
ignorant as he, Mr.. Wilson, thinks.
The next question raised is, who
gavo the Hawaiian Free Suffrage.
That also is matter OF record, and
it will bs we'll for Mr.. Wilson to
read that up also. 1 admit Repub-
lican Administration was running

free suffrage, and we must aso re-
member it was Republican Admin.
istration that robbed us OF our inde-
pendence. We will always remem.
Der that the Democrats, true to their
principles, fought against annex
alton, but when they failed through
the imperialistic tendencies OF Mark
Hanna and his tools, the Democrats
to man stepped up and gave their
votes for Hawaiian suffrage, and
coupled with the sense OF obligation
to try in some form to right
wrong, some of the Republicans
sided against men like Cullom and
such others who were influenced by |
men like Smith aud Hartwell, who
were in their turn backed up by the
OF Hawaii, which was
supported right along from 1893 by
Wilson and others OF his stamp.
Whether Mr.. W. o. Smith was or
is the leader OF the Republican Party,
Mr.. Wilson can not answer. l don't
believe however that it is Mr.. Will
son even with all his aspirations for
that position and hi, boasts, that he
and the Republican Party posses,

The Legis lature will undoubted-
ly repeal the law relating to
"drunks" as it now stands. The
law is obsolete and we think the
trials in the District Courts OF
"drunks" are illegal. No man can
be arrested and held to answer TO a
misdemeanor except on a written
and sworn to complaint and yet the
High Sheriff had the audacity to
trot into the Court yesterday 70
"drunks" arrested at the pleasure
and responsibility cf irresponsible
police officers. The men were de.
prived OF their liberty, they were
illegally arrested and like wise men
they paid their fines, rather than
hiring a lawyer or fighting their
case personally. In England as
we'll as in the other civilized part of
the world it is no offense TO be
drunk unless the condition of the
imbiber means that he is helpless or
disorderly. A man who can carry
his jag 10 his carriage, or his home
or his ship without annoying other
citizens is never arrested in the
civilized countries. In Honolulu
the police arrest any man who
doesn't walk straight and who in
their minds has been taking too
much booz,. We admit that Mr..
Browns officers are experts as far as
drinking is concerned but it is funny
that they never 30 far have found a
prominent" citizen or wealthy
club man with jag. Why is it so7
The following paragraph appears
in recent issue OF the S. f. Call:
Honolulu, Aug. 2l.- Flogging as
a prison punishment still remains
one OF the rules OF Oahu prison, and
an agitation has been started for
the elimination OF some OF the
harsher features OF the old prison
laws. 1t is claimed by lawyers that
the prison system of the islands is
very defective in that it fails to
make the proper distinctions be-
tween petty of ,nders and pIis )ners
who are confined for serious crimes.
1t is true that aogRing and incar.
ceration in dark cells are used on
prisoners who prove unmanageab!e,
and that the discipline necessary in
a prison is upheld at all hazards in
Oahu Jail. We can say, however,
that the warden OF The Prison is
using all reasonable discretion and
simply uses his authority when it is
absolutely compulsory under the
peculiar conditions prevailing here.
When the Prison is removed to a
country district far away from the
capital Of the territory, and the

FATAL WHEAT FUMES.
Grain Fermenting in Steamers
Hatch Kills One Man.

Fumes for fermented wheat in the
hold of the steamship American intox-
icated a large force of men and so pros
trated one of the workers that he died
without regaining consciousness, says
a New Orleans dispatch Several 9TH
er men were stretched senseless by the
death dealing gas and were with diff
Guilty revived.
Friday a fire started in hatch of
the big West India liner. In this
hatch was stored $4,000 bushels of
wheat and 1880 bales of cotton. The
flames had gained considerable head
way before they were discovered 1t
required a fierce fight on the part of
the firemen to get them under control.
Between fifteen and twenty tremen
succumbed to the heat and the smoke
before the blaze was gotten under con-
, troll Captain Andrew Stille, Ladder
man Grunewald and Pipeman Whittier
were SO overcome that they were taken
to the hospital for treatment. Yester-
day the cotton was broken out of the
hatch. Today fifty men started to work
breaking out the wheat. The wheat
had fermented, owing to the combined
action of heat and water. A powerful
gas arose from the hatch, which affect
ed the workers strangely. They stag
gered like men drunk. Their speech
was thick Martin Gibbons descended
into the hatch regardless of the fumes.
He pitched forward on his face unccn-
scious. Tom Kennedy, a fellow labor
err, saw Gibbons peril and was lowered
| into the hatch to render assistance.
He. too, was overcome. His brother.
Frank, and Terrence Dorsey volun-
teered and were lowered to the rescue
of the unfortunate men. Frank got
rope around Toms body and then fell
prone. Luckily, he was still tied to
the rope and he and his brother were
pulled to the deck Dorsey was pulled
up out OF danger, too. Frank Kenne
dy, regardless of the peril, went to the
rescue again. This time he made
line fast to Gibbons body. and both
were hoisted to the deck. The rescue
had come too late, however, for Glib
bons never regained consciousness; in
few moments he was dead.
The tug Wilson was sent for and the
remainder of the wheat was taken out
by means of siphen. The damage to
the cargo of the American amounts to
about $40, 900.
