The plant Of the Friday Moravian is.
q total loss and other heavy losers are
{ Frank selby, restauranteur, DR.. L. T.
Gorsuch. physician and surgeon. and
DR.. I. Rinard, dentist.
The Graham block was a new brick
building on the north side Of the
square. On the west was the Winsler
building, q brick. and on the east at a
distance stood several frame buildings.
& but by good luck and hard work the
surrounding buildings we're not injured,
tina the contents Of two nearby stores
were renewed. The Graham building
had two store rooms on the ground
floor and one of these. was occupied by
I: Frank Selby's restaurant, known as
the .Dewdrop. One OF the rooms of
the first floor was vacant. a grocery
store having moved out only about two
weeks ago. There were number OF
upstairs rooms on either side Of long
hallway. MIR. Graham. the owner OF
the building. used those on the east
side for living rooms. The front rooms
on the other side were occupied by Drs.
Gorsuch and Rinard, then came va
{ cant room and back OF this the Mora
Wan had two rooms.
The building was owned by William
Graham, who is the heaviest loser. The
building Is estimated to be worth s.. 900,
and he had $4,000 insurance. His house.
hold goods were consumed. Frank Sell
by. the restaurant man, saved his stock
and is therefore the most fortunate OF
the inmates OF the building.
+ s. L. Hill. the editor and proprietor
OF the Friday Moravian, sustained the
loss Of his entire outfit. Mr.. Hill had
just established his excellent paper in
the town and was nicely located. There
was an insurance of $500 on the plant,
which Will not cover the loss.
DIR. Gorsuch lost all his library Of
\ medical books. his Instruments. ac-
counts, etc. amounting in value to
perhaps $1,000. He carried $500 insur-
ance.
DR.. Rinard also lost all his ONCE con-
tents. He had 5000 insurance, which
Will hardly compensate him.

Des Moines. July 3.-The Davenport
papers announced this week that Frank
". Smith. OF that city, would be a can-.
idid;,t for grand chancellor OF the
Knights OF Pythias lodge. This an
tnouncement was authorized by the
Davenport lodges whose. members saw

dacy until the lodges practically forced

bers Of the lodge here and find the sem

OF Davenport may say that the OUT
look is very satisfactory"
Davenport has strong claims on the
grand lodge. That body was never SO
eplendidly entertained as 1t was at Dav-
export last year The fact that Mr..
Smith was at the head Of the local COM
mittee then does not detract from his
strength or from the claims Of the city.
Grand lodge representatives will never
forget that meeting. 1t was the unani-
NOUS vote than that Davenport could
have anything she wanted.
1t is believed that this is critical
tine in this Affairs OF the Pythian Grand
Lodge OF iowa. There have been some
factional Quarrels and good deal OF
politics mixed UP in the grand lodge.
There has been a charge that there has
been an effort to perpetuats a clique in
the chairs. Many members object to the
campaign Of any candidate for chan
cellor being conducted by an incumbent
Of the chair. II is probable. altho
neither Smith nor the Des Moines Pyth-
iars will so admit. that this sort Of
thing has induced the bringing forward
OF Mr.. Smith to remedy the evils COM
plaiEed OF. The Davenport lodges in
their announcement Of his candidacy
say also that there 10 need OF man Of
wide business experience to take charge
Of the affairs OF the order.
Mr.. Smith IL veteran of the civil
war. He enlisted In the Fifth Maine at
the beginning OF the war and served
turnout. The Fifth Maine was the first
to leave the state and 1t made mag
nificent record.
Mr.. Smith hae been member OF the

repeatedly made chairman Of the COM
mittee on mileage and per diem. and in
this Office introduced system which
has beer adopted In many other states.

SOLD ALCOHOL
Two Drug Companies
Accused.
Holister and Company and Benson,
Smith and Company Deny
Any Guilt.

Upon the complaint of High Sheriff
Brown, the drug companies of Benson,
Smith & Co, and Hollister & Co., were
summoned to appear in Police Court
yesterday afternoon for the alleged
selling of alcohol to persons other than
licensed physicians. They are charged
with violation of section 762 of the
penal laws of 1897. This act reads:
The holders of licenses for the sale
of methylated spirits and alcohol is
prohibited from selling alcohol to any
person but a duly licensed physician;
and no greater quantity than one gal
lon at any one sale shall be sold to any
such physician"
Sheriff Brown in his complaint
against the firms says. That he is In
formed and has reason to believe that
the firm of Hollister & Co., and Ben
son, Smith & Co, corporations duly es-
tablshed and existing under the laws
of the Territory of Hawaii, at Homo
lulu, Island of Oahu, Ahave, during one
month last past violated section 702 OF
the penal laws of 1897 by selling alcohol
to persons other than duly licensed
! physicians, said firms having licenses
as provided by section 698 for the sale
of methylated spirits and alcohol"
| The arrests were in reality made to
| test the law governing such sales and
the prohibitions imposed by the laws
| of the Republic of Hawaii The drug
stores interpret the law under the Ter
ritory to mean that the liquor can De
sold TO any reputable persons other
than physicians, but not in the manner
that liquors are dispensed over the bar
of licensed saloon. 1t is the opinion
tof George W. Smith of the firm Of Ben
son. Smith & Co.. that the interpreta-
ton of the law under the laws of the
TERRITORY is that they have the right to
sell the stimulants above mentioned to
reputable persons, but not indiscrimi-
nately.
The Grand Jury is responsible for the
test to be made in these cases. It Is
understood the High Sheriff was before
that body lately and the question OF
alcoholic beverages was brought up
The result of his visit to the Grand
Jury was personal investigation
lmade at the drug stores mentioned, and

JAPANESE KILLED.
AT LIHUE, KAUAI.
Drunken Seamen From the Niihau
Commit a Fearful
Crime,

A tragedy was enacted in LiIEIe, ka-
uai. on Sunday last Two drunken
sailors, natives brutally murdered
Japanese laborer, waylaying and club
bing him to death. The men are now in
jail at Lihue. s--ss
The news arrived by the Inter-Island
steamer Ke Au Hou yesterday morn
ing. Purser Sharratt secured the facts
of the case from Purser Hapai of the
Niihau to which steamer Kapaa and
Uni, the men who did the killing, be-
E1oneed.
While the Niihau. was weatherbound
at Hanamaulu, on Sunday about ten
Of the crew of the steamer went ashore.
They Immediately went to- Lihue, met
friends and proceeded to get1Aghting
drunk. All day long they drank and
towards night some of the natives be-
gan to think about returning to the
vessel, and shortly afterwards the
whole lot started for Hanamaulu in a
very muddled condition indeed.
Staggering along the road towards
the steamer they met six japanese la
borers. It seems that one of the sailors
asked one of the Japanese for a smoke.
The japanese becape frightened and
ran hastily. away. The sailors became
angry atthe behavior OF the Japanese
and not long afterwards they met a
couple more japanese and repeated
their demand for a smoke. AS in the
first case the Japanese started to run
away but only one made his escape.
The other fellow was caught, defend
ed himself as best he knew how under
the conditions. but was very soon over
come and knocked dying to the ground.
Soon he lay there quite still-dead-
murdered.
The native sailors came to their SEN
