We heartily agree with Council
lor I.enberg that it would be an
outrage to confue the sale OF poi to
one shop to be established at the
Government market. All of us be-
lieve in having pure aud clean food,
aud the taxpayers are willing to pay
for officers who will enforce the sani-
tary rules at the poi shops as we'll as
at every other place where food is
manufactured. The Chinese are
personally very clean and judging
from our own experience we prefer
to have Chinese handle the poi to
having the Hawaiians pound the
sticky mixture. That the poi shops
can be vastly improved is another
thing, but that is the affair of the
Board Of Health's employees and
not of the Council of State.

There are some who believe that
the limit OF the cows productive
capacity has been reached, and that
the record-breaking animals can never
hope to exceed what they have done
already. AS rule, those who talk
about the limit Of the cows capacity,
and think that dalrying cannot be-
further improved along this line, fail
to consider often what is more im-
portant to them individually Grant.
ed that the highest record for milk
and cream has been scored, it would
still be a fancy of the brain TO imagine
that the productive capacities of any
number OF cows have been reached.

A telephone message from Camp Nc,
hinley to the police announced that
Frank T. Bennett, head teamster for
the United States army at this post, had
committed suicide in his bunk by shoot
ing himself through the head.
Enough has now been discovered TO
show that the death of Miss Schneider
and the suicide of Bennett were coinci,
dent--in fact, that Miss Schneider was
murdered by Bennett, who afterward
committed suicide.
For some time Bennett had been nay.
ing her marked attention. He had bor-
rowed about S400 Aom her, for which
he had agreed TO pay her per cent =
month. and, as it now turns out. he ha.l
been sqnandering the money on another
woman.
Bennett had been connected with the
United States army for more than 20
years. much of that time as scout in
the Indian country. He was born in Min.

richly dressed lady alighted from it ana
seemed to be searching for something. II
has been impossible thus far to find such
carriage. The girl, who is 1S years OF
age, had a guardian in Missouri, and q
young man here was known as her sweet,
heart. The latter is grief stricken and is
doing all he can to aid in solving the mys
terry. The simple and innocent character
of the girl seems to preclude theories n
elopement, and the circumstances appear
to Indicate kidnapping, but for what mo.

PASSENGER Train wrec,.ed

Rome, Ga, Dec. pa passenger train
on the Chattanooga, Rome and Southern
railway was wrecked by an unknown
miscreant at Miller's nurseries. Some of
the train employees were injured and the
passengers badly shaken up, but nobody
was fatally hurt. The wreck occurred
mile and half below Rome. The
north bound passenger train between
Carrollton and Rome due here at 4
o'clock was running at full speed through
Miller's station when the train suddenly
took the sidetrack and crushed into Il
dozen box cars. The engine of the pas
senger train was almost totally demol-
ished. The engineer and fireman saved
their lives by jumping, although the fire.
man received severe internal injuries.
Several of the passengers were thrown
from their seats and bruised. 1t was as
certained that the switch lock had been
broken and the switch purposely turned.
The matter viii be investigated by the
county authorities and railroad people at
once
