needed.
Application was received from the
Wilder Steamship Company i'm regard
to four tons of Japanese and Chinese
freight which were now lying on their
wharf. This was freight which had
been refused at Hilo. The Board re-
piled that it's disposition was not a
matter for the Board to decide.

lieved of his duties as freight agent of
the Board in order to take charge of

that if such a building was to be

substantial structure, with every mod

with a place for meetings upon the

For more than forty-eight hours the
plague situation had been more favor
able and the Board of Health was look
ing upon the lull as a sign of a prob
able decrease in the death list, when
the death Of the Japanese, Assagura.
at the Kalihi Detention Camp Hospital
was announced yesterday afternoon.
The man had been in the hospital for
about two days and his ailment was
diagnosed as pneumonia. He had been
slightly i'll for nearly three weeks, until
Friday, when more decided symptoms
we're disclosed. He had been deliriOus
since that time. There was a small
glandular enlargement in the groin,
blu. it was not sensitive to the touch.
Upon his death DR.. Towards suspi-
cions were aroused as to the cause of
the mans death, and she body was re-
moved to the morgue and a postmortem
examination performed by DR.. Hoff-
man. resulting in an official announce
ment of plague.
Assagura's wife has been ill for near
ly three weeks, her illness commenc-
ing at almost the identical hour with
ner husbands. Last Friday she too
was considerably worse, developing
strong pneumonia symptoms, since
which date she has been delirious most
of the time. No glandular swellings or
constituencies are observable in her case
but since the postmortem on her hus-
band revealed unmistakable bubonic
symptoms. she is now considered very
suspicious.
Chiega, the Japanese suspect who
was removed on Friday from Kalihi to
the pest hospital, died early Saturday
morning. The body was brought up to
the morgue, where DR.. Hoffman, assist
ed by Japanese physician, performed
a portmortem examination. Upon the
removal of the lungs, the right one was
discovered to Oe greatly enlarged, and
almost as solid as a lump of rubber.
The mans death was attributed TO
pneumonia.
Since December 18th and up to Sat-
urday night, according to the BY
Authority of the Board of Health, there
have been fifty-three cases of bubonic
plague. forty-five of which have proved
fatal. there being in the plague hospital
at that time eight patients classed as
plague patients. Adding the case of
the Japanese who died yesterday morn
ing. the death roll runs up to forty-six.
and the number of cases is increased to
fifty-fOur by the addition of the wife
of the Japanese. For the week there
were seven deaths.

About the Soldiers.

In 1895, during the cholera epidemic,
the National Guards were exposed to
all kinds of inclement weather, steady
sentinel duty, and various kinds of la
Dor to which many of them were ordi-
narily unused. Most of the foreigners
in the regiment were clerks in offices
and business houses. used to a routine
work which was sedentary in most
cases. Their work as National GuaTds-
men was severe, and in addition to
this, the young men were given to ath
letic sports in the Executive grounds
when off duty. At that time it was dis
covered that the strain of guard duty,
superinduced by athletics, and sleeping
in the open air, had brought about an
affection or swelling in the abdomen,
or just above the fold in which the
bubO of the plague is found. These
cases were treated in the manner usual
ly adaptable for such swellings and
they disappeared in time.
Since the National Guards have been
engaged in their sentry work, during
the past six weeks, the same abdominal
swellings. and in almost the same
locality, have appeared in one or two
of the guardsmen. and their original is
traced exactly in the same manner as
those observed in 1895. Appearing as
they have in this manner, the physi-
clans say there is not the slightest con-
nectiOn between the bubO formed by
the plague, and that produced by ex-
traordinary activity and WEAKNESS such
as comes with six hours steady guard
duty. One case of this kind has been
observed. but there are no symptoms
whatever of the plague accompanying
it, noticeably lack of fever and high
temperature. In this case the man
would not have been placed on the ''Off
duty list, ad it not been that the ply
stefan thought that in any case of i'll
ness the patient should be laid off.

SAWYER County,s Candidate.

The Hayward Republican of last
week announces w. L. Mccormick s
candidacy for the Assembly as fol-
lows:
AS the Assembly convention has
been called for October 9th, it at
proper that we should look about for
d suitable candidate 10 represent the
district in the legislature the coming
winter. We have in mind a young
man whom we believe is qualified and
fitted to represent the people. and
we trust that the convention when
held will honor him with the nomin-
alton. The young man we have in
mind is no other than W. L. Nc
Cormick of this city. He is not a
politician, nor is he an office seeker.
1t was by the very urgent appeal
of his friends that be yielded to an
nounce himself a candidate. He is
a gentlemen of marked ability, of
good characters and Of eXcellen-
morals. Inasmuch as SAWYER county
has never been favored in either
branch of the legislature by home
representative we believe that Bay
field and Washburn counties will
willingly concede that by right the
honor is due US, and will so decide
when the time arrives for the con
vention to name it choice For
these, and various reasons we want
to see our young friend nominated
for assemblyman, and most cheer
fully do we commend him to the
kindness of our fellow Republicans.

Expansion in Northern WISCONSIN.

The wise poor man who bought
aNfarm on easy payments, or the
wise man ufacturer who erected a
factory in Northern Wisconsin a few
years ago, when times were not as
prosperous as they are now, are
reaping their reward. Northern
Wisconsin is feeling expansion in
the truest sense of the word. Op-
portunities have not passed by any
means. There are still thousands OF
acres OF rich hardwood tim Der lands
awaiting the settler as well as the
manufacturer, which can be obtained
at low figures and on easy terms.
Good roads, fine school houses and
other improvements are increasing
and cultivation is progressing. The
plentitude of iron ore, clay, kaolip,
maral and timber lands supplied the
wants of everybody.

The High License People Win in
the Election.
THE CONTEST is A WARM ONE
But the Advocates of the $500 License
Fee Win Out by Majority of One
Hundred and Twenty-Three
Votes

Free ride to the polls were fur
nished all voters Tuesday, and the
man who didn t have a carriage at
his disposal had only himself to
blame. About half of the full vote
Of the town was recorded-607 in all.
The result was: For 5000 license,
238; for $3.50 license, 4; for $500
license, 365. The majority for $500
license was therefore, 1913. The
advocates of the $500 license worked
hardest, and polled a nice vote, but
the advocates Of the $500 system got
down to business in the afternoon
and by three o'clock had the battle
won. The new fee goes into effect
next July, and will remain in force
for three years, when another
election can be called.

The Ma gaZine Exchange

Prof. D. E. Cameron, who institu-
ted the magazine exchange system
here. informs US that it will be i'm
possible to carry out the plan where
by subscribers paid ten cents a
week. The trouble appears to be
that the Western News Company
delay the delivery of magazines to
the Literature Exchange Company,
SO that they cannot be received in
time. Mr. Cameron says he can
carry out the plan if the subscribers
will pay up for the remainder of the
year, 81 40, less a cash discount of
10 per cent which would be 1896.
Or Mr. Cameron will finish furnish
ing to subscribers eight magazines

subscribers in few days and make

ing to business and professional
reasons it will be impossible for me
to be candidate for the Republican
nomination for the state senate. [
have recently become interested in
the purchase of the lands and tax
certificates of bayfield, county,
which together with my law prac-
tice will require my undivided at
tention. I desire to take this means
of publicly thanking my many
friends throughout this Senatorial
district for the interest shown in my
behalf. A. W. Mcleod.
The above announcement practic-
ally tells it all-there is little left to
be said. Mr. Mcleod having in
terested himself in one Of the largest
land deals Bayfield, County has had
for some time, finds that in order to
properly look after his new business
interests, and to give the proper
attention to the duties of his pro-
fession, that it is impracticabe for
him to enter contest, which il sue
cessful, would call him from home
three or four months. The annouce-
ment has been contemplated for
several weeks, and it will now clear
up the political atmosphere SO far as
the delegation from this county is
concerned.
Asked what effect his withdrawal
would have Mr.. Mcleod said he
could not state as be had not kept
thoroughly in tesch with he politi-
cal situation throughout the district,
as he has been too busy with other
matters. Il hope, though he said.
that my friends will not mis-
'misconstrue the announcement of
my determination, and they should
now give their loyal support to the
home candidate-Mr. O'Neil and
secure his nomination if possible. y
