their companies found the money for the
raid. Do you think we are so innocent
not to know that Rhodes IS, metaphorically
speaking, held a pistol at the heads of
certain men in England and said to them:
If you do not support me I shall de-
nOunce you and your completely in the
raid?'"
AT this stage, according to Mr.. Rob-
inson, President Kruge Ter became more
excited n shouted so loudly that peo-
pie in the street stopped to listen to the
conversation. Mr.. Kruger then said:
"And now you are demonstrating with
me about arming. 1t is true I am arm
ing, but it is because 1 see clearly that I
must defend my country"
To this Mr.. Robinson replied:
"The British public is aroused. If any
attempt were made again to enter this
country there would be a great cutlery in
England. and the imperial authorities
would take steps to punish the organ
izers and to prevent such free-booting
expeditions"
President Kruger approached Mr.. Rob-
inson, placed a hand on his shoulder,
made a violent effort to suppress his ex-
element, n said:
You mean well, but I rave lost all
confidence. What has happened would
take place again, and I am determined to
guard against it."
Later, MI. Kruger said:
What is to prevent Rhodes n his
c~oadjutors again engineering some dia-
bolical attempt against the Independence
of my country" ~

London, Jan 16.-The correspondent of
the Times at Lorenzo Marques, tele-
i graphing last Saturday, says:

An Int resting Case.

Judge Perry yesterday made perpet-
nal the temporary writ OF mandamus
issued against Minister of the Interior
Young by, the court at the instance
of the Wahiawa Sugar Com
pany. Minister Young Immediately
gave notice of appeal to the Supreme
Court. Unless the higher court de-
cides in the Minister'S favor he will
be compelled to accept the articles Of
Incorporation of the sugar company.
The case is most interesting to both
attorneys and stockholders in corpora
tions and its adjudication will be
watched closely.
The Wahiawa Sugar company was
organized February 26, when the
articles of association were filed at the
Interior Department. They showed
that John Emmeluth, A. q. Nichols,
Frank Hustace, l.. Schweitzer and G.
M. Whitney are the promoters of the
joint stock company, formed for the
raising Of sugar cane, the manufacture
o fsugar and all incidental business.
The concern Is capitalized at 100000
with shares at par value of 500. The
right to increase the capital from time
to time is part of the agreement.
All the capital stock is subscribed for
principally by the incorporators. One
hundred and fifty thousand dollars is
paid up by leases to about 10000 acres
in the Waialua district embracing
lands of G. Galbraith, the Bishop es-
tate, the Halstead estate and others.
1t is provided that no stockholder is
liable for the debts of the corporation
beyond such an amount as may be due
and unpaid on the shares held by him.
The officers are A. E. Nichols, presi-
dent; ]. Emmeluth, vice president; G.
NJ Whitney, treasurer, and l.. Schweitz-
er, secretary.
On the advice of the Attorney Gen.
eral the Interior Department returned
to the promoters the articles of asso-
citation as defective in not naming the
owner or owners of a large number of
shares held by A. E. Nichols as trus-
tee. The promoters, by their attorneys,
Kinney, Ballou and McClanahan, sent
back the papers to Minister Young
with peremptory demand for their
acceptance. He positively refused again
and an alternative writ of mandamus
was secured on March 2 by the COM
pany to compel Minister Young to show
cause why he should not file the art
icles in the form submitted to him.
This writ was made perpetual yester-
day.
The Minister of the Interior will
carry it to the Supreme Court as soon
as possible.

THE PLAGUE.

II the sickness which has killed
about sixty people in three mouths
is the bubonic plague as number
Of physicians claim it to be, it cer-
tainly acts in a manner contrary to
the doctrines and experience Of all
authorities. We don't believe that

peculiar sickness started in Homo.

Japanese physician, has been term,

sons died last months from con-
sumption than from the alleged
plague and as matter of fact the
official plague has behaved in a

We quote from Surgeon General
Wyman's latest official report on
the plague. This authority says:
"The longest time that infected ma
terial, as lint, wsdding, earth, etc,
remained active was eight days.
Sputum from patients affected
with the pneumonia form. kept in
vessel plunged with cotton wool,
was no longer virulent IN sixteen
days. In ordinary drinking water
the bacilli die in three days, in
sterilized water in eight days and in
sterilized bilge water in five days.
In direct sunlight the baciW die in
three to four hours. (Report of the
German Plague Commission as
quoted by BowhilD. The bacilli
are killed by drying at ordinary room
temperature in four days (Bowhill

tory. That the disease which the
Government medicine men call bu-
homie plague is not infectious has
bsen thoroughly demonstrated by
the course of the disease. There
were over thirty people, dirty South
Sea Islanders at that, huddled to-
gether in the filthy shack where
pronounced "bad" case occurred in
the beginning Of the epidemic, and
not one Of the inmates Of that shack
cobght the disease. One day we are
told that the bacilli is watching for
victim in the soil, then again in
the food, or the clothing and finally
getting their deadly work in through
inhalation. Would it not be easier
for the baclli to attend TO their
business right on the premises where
they are declared to be at work.

NEED or EDUCATION.


Recently there appeared in the
columns of the st. Paul Dispatch an
advertisement for an office assistant.
The requirements specified were
"Good character, good penmanship,
neatneSs, knowledge of book-keep-
ing, age between 20 and 25." Fifty
seven applicants sent letters and the
Dispatch says not one out of the 81
aspirants fulfilled the very simple re-
quirements. "The penmanship was
in no case equal to the needs of an
office; it was neither legible nor re-
liable. The spelling was uniformly
bad. Not one letter showed neat
ness; each one, if it was accompan-
led by affirmations of good character
revealed a carelessness,a slogenness,
quite incompatible with good busi-
ness character. The position was
a most desirable one, but 81 young
men lost the opportunity because, as
the Dispatch puts it, 'they could
neither be neat, nor write legibly nor
SPELL" There is no necessity of at
taching a moral to this story.

GOOD BUSINESS SENSE.

The Shenandoah Sentinel observes
that 1.-THE principal argument in favor
of the normal schools appears to be
that state patronage should be passed
around. Towns having no state in
stitution say they deserve one just as
much as those towns that have been
favored in the past. What is that to
the general tax payer? What does he
care whether he pays taxes to help
Red Oak or Marengo or Pumpkin
vile? The point with him is whether
the proposed measure will accomplish
enough good to the general public to
justify the expense. That is all there
is of it. And judged by that standard
he must oppose the creation of lot
Of state normal schools.n

The Des Moines Register recently
resurrected a copy Of "The Iowa
Statesman" the first paper printed
in Fort" Des Moines. The paper
bears the date of March 1S, 1856 and
its contents form queer contrast
with the matter contained in mod
ern city paper. Two full pages and
one half of the other two pages were
devoted exclusively to advertising.
AS material was short three Columns
of the same advertising was run in
two different places to "fill up"
The local news of the week comprised
seven items. The longest sand most
important one runs as follows:
"We heard the Osknloosa brass
band play several tunes in the sit
ting room of the Desmoine house,
and that their execution was excel
lent, and that their education had
not been neglected."
The "Desmoine House" was the
leading house west of the Mississippi
river, and, according to the "old set
tiers" many high old time was had
there. The great state and local
soirees and receptions were all held
within its walls for many day. just

played for is not stated but it of course

Candy has been added to the regu-

One New York firm has shipped more
than fifty tons of confec tionery dur

The government buys candy of good
quality, which would retail from 30
to 40 cents per pound. 1t consists of
mixed chocolate creams, le non

to the regular ration greatly improved
health and endurance of the troops

Skunk river navi able sJream" says
the Brighton Enterprise, Gas far up
as the junction of the north and south
forks. But thi4 evidently an
error. In the government survey the
river was meandered as far up as the
Washington county line at Coppock.
Above that point no cognizance of
the river was taken, but below Cop
pock the land was surveyed up to the
channel on each side, and the pro-
jecting points in the river bends were
designated as lots containing SO many
acres. Only navigable streams were
supposed to be meandered' by the
government, so that according to the
official records Skunk river is navi
gable as far as Coppock. There has
been a few occasions since the settle
ment of Iowa, when, during the
spring floods, a small steamboat with
pilot who knew the channel, might
have come up AS far as Brighton
But the experiment was never tried
1t is saiu in early days small steamers
came up to the river as TAR as vii
