CLOSING OF THE PosroFFIcE.

The closing Of the Honolulu post
Office all day yesterday, with the ex-
eeption Of one hour In the morning,
was rank injustice to the people of
this community. With a mail from
China and from the other Islands,
business men found the Office closed
with the exception OF one hour in
the morning and people coming
down town to purchase stamps or Sc
cure money orders found both the
stamp window and the money order
Office closed.
Why the postoffice, a United States
government institution, should close
on Territorial holiday is not appsr-
ent. The Republican can only account
for 1t upon the ground that the post
master imagined that he was still con-
ducting business under the Hawaiian
republic instead of under the United
States government The only holidays
recognized by the United States are
New Years, Washingtons birthday,
Memorial day, Fourth OF July, Labor
day, Thanksgiving day and Christmas,
and such other days as may be special
ly designated by the president. The
United States government does not
recognize holidays made such by stare
or territorial enactment and the Unit
ed States institutions. particularly fhe
postofflce, do not close on such holi-
days.
People having mail to send on the
Rio found themselves greatly incon-
venienced yesterday by the closing If
the postoffice. Notably was this so
for those who wished to send to the
States postoffice money orders or reg
istered letters on the steamer whi Ii
left here at 10 o'clock last night.
The banks remained open for the
usual Saturday hours of from 10 a. m.
TO p. m. Why the postoffice should
have been closed or what warrant in
law there was for its closing, The Re-
publican, as well as hundreds OF others.

gressive pair match for souvenir prizes

O,DONNELL TRIAL BEGUN.
Prisoner Little Affected by Her Sur
rouudfngs I'm the Court.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
PORTLAND, Ind, Feb. 1.-With strong
array Of legal talent on either side. the trial
of Mary O'Donnell, who Is charged with
being responsible for the death Of Frank
Whitsell, of Dunkirk, last March, was be-
gun In the Jay Circuit Court, Judge John
M. Smith on the bench, at 10 o'clock to-
day. Mrs. O'Donnell who has been con-
fined in the jail at Winchester since her
preliminary trial, was brought from that
place at 7:05 this morning by Sheriff Over
man, of Randolph county, and given into
the custody of Sheriff Wnipple. When
brought into court she looked curiously
around and then paid close attention TO all
of the proceedings. The greater part of
the day was consumed in getting jury, the
statements of the opposing counsel then
following. Nothing of a very important ma
ture is expected to come up before to-mor-
row.
The O'Donnell woman is being defended
by Theodore Shockney, of Union City, and
w. H. Williamson. of Portland; while ar
rayed against her are Hon. j. j. La roll
lette, of Indianapolis; George I. Whitaker,
of Dunkirk, representing attorney, and
Prosecuting Attorney Daniel Z. Griner.
The woman seems to have stood her long
confinement quite well. and is in apparently
good health Mr.. and Mrs. Whitsell, of
Dunkirk, parents of the dead man, arrived
on the same train with the prisoner.

SHELBYVILLE, Ind. Feb. las the
elimination of the grand jurys investiga-
ton of the Shelby county official and finan-
cial muddle approaches the excitement is
intensified. and the fear that some hot
head will precipitate trouble grows apace.
Another important witness has disap-
peared, and this has added to the tension.
and when the grand jury makes its report
tomorrow 1T is almost certain that trouble
will be precipitated I'm the crowd which
will be here to hear it. Prosecutor Blair
said tonight that this week would end the
investigation by the present grand jury,
there being no law under which grand
jury can sit except during regular term
of court. But Judge Morris will continue
the court In extra session until the cases
Of the County Commissioners now under
Indictment are disposed Of.
Adverse criticism is gathering in force
because of the facility with which grand
jury secrets are made public. Matters of
testimony and lines of investigation, and
the names Of witnesses subpoenaed. be-
come known to interested persons even be-
fore the jury leaves its room for the day
But how it is done has not yet been re-
vealed Information of this kind resulted
in the disappearance of ex-Auditor
Z. T. Carson, who retired from Office last
December. Most of the alleged illegal acts
of the commissioners were committed dur
ing his term, and his evidence Is held to be
very essential in the matter of fixing the
responsibility. Carson's home is IN Fair
land, six miles northwest OF here. On Mon
day Sheriff Schoelch went to Fairland 70
serve a subpoena on him, but Carson could
not be found. Afterward search was made
in Indianapolis, but he had utterly disap-
peared. The sheriff gave out the story TO-
day that on Sunday friends brought Car
son on q handcar to Shelbyville, ana tnat
he took an early train to the South. ms
is the third escape of this nature, In which
important witnesses have slipped away In
time to avoid giving testimony.
The grand jury was not In session to-day,
but tomorrow will formulate report OF
it's findings. 1t has by no means finished
the work cut out for it in connection with
the county cases, but Prosecutor Blair
says that under the law the matter must De
