NEW DODGE OF
A NATIVE THIEF
Impersonates Policeman and
VictimiZes Punchbowl
Mercha is.

Frank Ferreira, deputy hack inspec-
tor, yesterday unravelled police affair
which has mystified the department
for a week or two past. Several Por-
tuguese storekeepers doing business on
the slopes of Punchbowl complained to
the High Sheriff that a Hawaiian re-
with the department had visited their
stores and required them to submit
their licenses for inspection.
The pretended officer of the Govern
ment in most cases stated that the Ii
censes were faulty and were not valid.
If the storekeepers kept them posted up
in their establishments they would be
liable to a fine and possibly a revoca-
ton Of their license to carry on bust
ness.
The inspection Of the licenses ended
in the Hawaiian telling them that he
had the authority to make whatever
report he desired. y request for seven
ty-five cents or a dollar usually ended
the investigation and the Hawaiian
promised To state to the department
that that il was all right"
High Sheriff Brown detailed Frank
Ferreira to watch the Portuguese
business neighborhOod, and yesterday
morning he observed a man inspecting
the license of a Chinese storekeeper
near the Beretania street pumping sta
ton. He overheard the man say that
everything would be made all right for
bride of seventy-five cents and he
placed the man under arrest. He gave
his name as John Mokuula
Questioned as to his reasons fol
cheating the storekeepers he stated the
idea Just came into his head" He i:
charged with investigation and will b,
| tried this morning. in Police court
Quite a number of Portuguese wer,
/ victimized. Some Of the licenses takel
/ by Mokuula have not been recovered

HIGH SCHOOL FILLED.
No Room for More Students in That
Institution.

According to the reports Of Prof.
Scott Of the High School that institu
ton Is crowded to its capacity and no
more students can be received there.
For some time there has been much
crowding Of the pupils and Prof. Scott
reported some days ago that there was
scarcely room TO move about in the
building. Now he has decided that no
more can be taken If they apply.
From the other schools the reports
are more encourage While at the
Kaiulani school there are nearly 500
pupils It does not appear that that
number win be exceeded and at the
Kaahumanu school there is still room
for more new corners. The smaller
schools are the most crowded but by
shifting TO the larger schools accom-
modations ought TO be found for all
pupils who come.

Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1900-07-05

The British government appears to
be responsible for the famine in India,
or at least to have made the famine
possible, through the very beneficence
of its rule. Before the British occu-
patton, incessant wars and terrible cpl
denies kept the country thinly popu-
lated, so that the natural products of
the soil were usually sufficient to feed
the inhabitants. But British rule has
established peace and diminished the
rayages of plague. The consequence
has been such an increase of popula-
ton that India is one of the most
crowded countries in the world. The
productivity of the soil has nearly
reached it's limit Nevertheless, the
British government, is not to be
blamed, unless we adopt the mons
trous doctrine that wholesale massacre
is a blessing.

SMALLPOX SCARE.

1t Is Not So Bad as Reported. and
Probably Only One Serious Case.
Dr. Baldwin of jamestown states
that the reports received from kensal
are such that Indicate that the small
poX trouble will be confined to IL very
few cases, aud perhaps to the single
case Of the restaurant man. Mr. Hy
land. Mr.. Hylanl would not believe
that he had smallpox until Tuesday.
He is being cared for by his wife. The
smallpox is Of . mild form. and the
man is in the first stages.
The quarantine is being strictly en-
forced All who are known to have
taken meals at Hyiands restaurant
are Quarantincd. The ticket agent Of
the 500 at kensal has been ordered to
sell no more tickets. ana other agents
have been instructed to sell none 10
those desiring TO go I" that place.
Among those who We're caught in
KenSal were six bridge carpenters Of
the 500. who had taken a few meals
at the restaurant. Fences have been
placed across !hp roads leading info
the town. and notices of the presence
of smallpox placed thereon.
But one person in Conrtcnay has
been isolated. He talked with Hyland
when the latter visited Courtenay TO
secure a physician services. and ac-
companied him to DR.. MacdonalG's
residence. The report that Courtenay
had been quarantined had no founda-
ton whatever

The government weather bureau ut

followed by temperatures ranging
from 80 TO 100 degrees each day from
Wednesday to date.
There is little doubt that the greater
portion of the wheat crop has been al
most totally destroyed: The only hope
lies in getting sufficient rain to revive
and bring forward that sown late. az
that put in early IS almost beyond re-
c0very: all reports agree that if the
prevailing drGuth continues q week
longer there will be little left to har-
vest. What little early wheat is left
is heading out. very short. so much so
that it can not be cut by ordinary
methods. and hundreds of acres are
burned up. Flax seems to be doing
the best of all grain but it is poor and

Great Varsity Race Proves IA Hollow
Victory.
New London, Conn.,, June 29.-Yale
won the eight-oared varsity shell race
yesterday, beating Harvard by about
six lengths. With the four-oar and
freshman races won: and handsomely
won, too, and with lead when near
ing the finish in the big varsity event,
defeat came to Harvard in sudden
and upneXpectcd manner. Harding,
the stroke. who had replaced the dis
abled Capt Hgginson. collapsed be-
fore the three and one-half-mile flag
was reached, and Harvard finished
with seven oars. So that it was a hol-
low victory. The four-oar race, as was
expected. proved rather an easy vic
tory for Harvard. The crimson substi-
tutes took the lead at the snap of the
pistol and had no difficulty in keeping
it. The freshman contest was some
thing Of disappointment to the New
Haven men for the Yale youngsters
had been picked as winners. Instead
Harvard showed them the rudder for
two miles and the finish was some
thing in the nature of procession.

FIRE VISITS CARNIVAL.

ST. Paul Ellxs' show Suffers Consid-
cradle Loss.
st. Paul, June 28.-The Elks' carni-
val was surely a "hot one" last even
ing while fire destroyed about one
third of the booths in Exhibition
street" The loss to exhibitors and
the Elks will reach $4,000 or $4,000,
with little insurance. The fire started
from an electric wire in the booth OF
the International Stock Food company,
and with wonderful rapidity the
flames spread in all directions, al
though there was little or no wind.
Patrolman Lindahl tried to check the
flames with hose, but by the time
water was turned on the fire was be-
yond control and the fire department
was called out. There were compara-
lively few people on the 'street" at
the time, and the men in charge OF
the grounds anil the exhibits were
able =, save some of the exhibits.

The marriage of the Crown Prince of
Japan to his cousin seems to have
been a mixture of japanese and Euro
pean ceremonies. Thus, the bride and
bridegroom We're married in the an.
Gent court dress, and afterwards dom
ned western costume, and there was a
wedding breakfast with wedding cake.
The actual marriage ceremony in ia
pan is very simple. It's distinguishing
feature is what is, termed the san-san
ku-do-that is, literally. three times,
nine times" because, both the bride
groom and the bride drink three times
out of each of three swine-cups of diff
feFent sizes, times in all
or, rather, they do not drink. but only
lift the cups to theft rps. The wine

G. A. r. TN NORTH DAKOTA.
State Encamp.aent Mt Grand Forks


Well Attended.
The state encampment of the G. A.
r., held in Grand Forks last week, was
attended by the greatest number Of
veterans ever assembled in the state.
State encampments have. as a rule.
been held in the smaller towns. and
the fixing upon Grand Forks as the
meeting place was in response to
very general desire on the part of the
veterans to meet there. This was the
first occasion on which the veterans Of
the Spanish and Philippine wars have
had an opportunity to meet in this
state with the veterans of 1861. and
this added materially to the interest
of the occasion.
The city was handsomely decorated
in honor Of the visiting veterans. and
everything was done to make their
visit an enjoyable one.
The first session was held in the
Powers building at headquarters,
where the veterans visited and
smoked for half an hour. when,
headed by the City band. they
marched to the court house. where a
session was held of the council of adj
ministration. The business was trans
acted behind closed doors. There We're
many remarks heard complimentary to
the people of Grand Forks for the
manner in which the city was dec
grated. the designs in some of the
larger windows being very neat and
attractive.
The closing business of the three
days session was the election of Off
GERS, which resulted as follows: Com
mander, Freeman circuit. Wahpeton;
senior vice. George A. Wheeler. ST.,
Grand Forks: junior vice. George D.
Vallandingham, Valley City: medical
director, DR.. Johnson. Lisbon: chap
lain, David Hoople. Grafton: delegates

dent. Emma NJ. Sprague. Grand Forks;

Rumor Reaches Cuba That Some. of

China.
Havana, June 80. = Much interest
was aroused among the American SOL
diers by the Associated Press dis
patch announcing the fact that prob
ably half the troops will leave Cuba
during the next few months. The ru-
NOR here that the Second infantry
will leave within the next few days,
as soon as transport is available, ana
go direct to China, is generally be-
lieved. Gov. Gen. Wood, however, de-
MES all knowledge of the report, and
it seems that an officer Of the regiment
received private cable dispatch from
a friend to that effect.

TWO SMALL FIGHTS
Reported From South Africa by Lord
Roberts.

Roberts.
London. June 3O.-Lord Roberts has
sent bulletins of two small fights, oc-
curing June 26 and June p, in which
the Beers were discounted. In a dis
patch from Pretoria. dated yesterday,
he says: "a small force of mounted
troops with two guns. commanded by
Lieut.. Col. Drapier, was attacked by
the enemy under Prefers and Mel OIL
the morning of June 26 seven miles
north of Senekal. They beat off the
enemy and burned their laager. Our
casualties We're three wounded and ten
killed. Hunter. temporarily command
ing Ian Hamilton's force. made one
march yesterday from Heidelberg to-
ward Frankfort. without meeting any
opposition. The enemy attacked our
Roodeval spruit position on the rail-
way yesterday but We're easily beaten
off by detachment Of the Derbyshire
light infantry, the West Australian
mounteds, a fifteen FOUNDER and an ar
mored train. Raden-Pawell reports
the capture Of an influential Boer
named Ray, who was endeavoring to
raise commando in the Rustcnberg
district. 4 patrol brought in over a
hundred rifles. More than 1000 rifles
and 1000 inferior pieces have been
taken during the last few days"
He states that thirty Beers have ar
rived at Rustanberg. going to their
homes. from Delarey's commando.
They would have left before if they
had seen the proclamation. which was
carefully held by Boer authority. Lord
Roberts says that Wednesday. June
81. was a record market day in Pre-
toria for Boer farmers selling produce.
Parties of Beers still hang on Gen.

Bishop Potter pays high tribute to
the character and qualities of the rank
and file of our army in Manila. He
says, in effect, that no one who has
seen our soldiers in the Philippines,
and has noted their splendid physique,
their attention to duty, and the high
average of intelligence existing among
them, can fail to have an increased
pride in our army and profound faith
in their capability to do whatever is
required of them He saw our soldiers
in many places, under all varieties Of
Mia, but not one among them who
reflected discredit upon himself or his
country.
