70 FORM PRECINCT CLUBS.
PLANS FOR REPUBLICAN oRGANI.
ZATION.
Lack of Such Organization Held to
Home Rule Amalgamation.

The proposition Of calling a meeting
of the Republican Territorial Central
committee to prepare for organization
of the party throughout the Territory,
to be ready for the next campaign, has
been informally discussed of late among
members of the committee. Some of
them want to begin work, and it is
quite likely that a meeting will be held
before long. Secretary Il. r. Hendry
this morning stated that no meeting
had been called, but that he had heard
the subject talked Of
IF we had had an organization on
Kauai we should have won last time"
said Hendry cor if we had Lad pro-
per organization on Hawaii. It is re-
cognized all over America that victory
goes to the best organization, in many
fights, and Hawaii is sadly lacking in
organization now"
1t is proposed to form Republican
clubs in all the precincts of the Islands.
The clubs would be to some extent un-
der the central committee, all forming
one organization. They would report to
the central committee am in this way
the latter committee would have accu-
rate information to work upon. One
club for each political district precinct
is talked Of
The central committee has other mat
ters to consider besides the desired or
ganlzatlOn. 1t is understood that the
members expect to consider the matter
of the proposed amalgamation with
Home Rule Republicans, as well as
other matters of interest within the
party. The only matter, however,
which is pressed for immediate con-
sideration, is that of organization. 1t
is thought by some of the committee
that if the movement is begun now,
much can be done 20 secure large MEM
bership and add to Republican chances
of success, between now and the next
election

CERTAINLY is A WONDER.
A Coon With Two Sets of Legs and
Arms,

Physicians in Alabama are taking
much interest in the case of the four
legged child to whom Mary Maddox a
negress, gave birth at ODelika on May
"a The baby is a well developed male
child.
one pair of legs are in the ordinary
position, and, like the arms, are we'll
formed. The extra pair of legs are near
the arms, and while quite well formed,
are small. The feet on the extra legs
are regularly formed with toes and toe
nails, but have the appearance of be-
longing to a sickly child. The child is
robust and healthy, with all the facul-
ties of an ordinary child.
The child has been examined by lead
ing physicians of the state and pro-
nounced healthy in everything except
the extra pair of limbs. He has good
use of his regular limbs, but seems I'M
able to control the others. The physi-
clans, after careful eXal ination, said
that if the child lives, which seems al
together probable at this time, he will
eventually get control OF them, as there
are about the same muscles and liga-
ments in them that are found in cub
bear of the same age.
Thousands of people have gone to
Opelika to view the freak of whom the
parents seem to be very fond.
Several theories are advanced to ac-
count for this mOnStroSity One of them
is that the mother was frightened by a
great black bear durin" the street fair
in Opelika last fall. DR.. Williamson, a
strong believer in the Darwinian theory
declares that the case is simply a re-
progression of mankind-a step back
ward-and that the child demonstrates
that the human race came from the
monkey family.
The features of the child are regular.
They are those of the typical African
with the large mouth, fat nose and
kinky hair.
Already the father of the child, John
Maddox, is arranging to place him on
exhibition, believing that he has the
greatest human curiosity ever produced
He is awaiting the highest bidder and
as soon as the child and mother are
strong enough they will take to the
road-New York Sun.

Beloit office at rental of $500 per an

remodeled the new postoffice will have
a frontage of about 25 feet and 60 feet

by Mr.. Rodgers, and is included in the
$500 rental. The growth of the business
of the Beloit postoffice has been phe-

routes start out of BelOit, besides one

worked with more perseverance to Sc
cure these free rural routes than her

DID ST. MARYs PLAY UNFAIRf
Kansas City Medics Charge That
They Were Robbed Saturday.

Kansas City, Nov. 25.-The University
Medical college football team returned
yesterday morning from St. Marys,
Kan, where they met the team of the
Catholic college of that city Saturday
in a no score game. The u. NJ c. boys
are sore over their treatment at ST.
Marys, and they take OCCASION. for the
first time this season. to cry robbery.
They claim that Carpenter, the St
Marys official, robbed them of at least
three touchdowns by making false
charges of holding against them and
giving ball to the home team In addi-
ton to this, they charge that he coach
ed the ST MaryS all through the game
The Needles are not alone in their
claims, for John Buttomer, the Kansas
City official who accompanied them,
says he never saw a team get worse
treatment at the hands of an official
The Medics claim that they clearly
outplayed the St. Marys boys. especially
in the last half, when the ball was in
St. Marys' territory nearly all the time.
Three times they worked it down the
field until within a few yards of the
opposite goal, only to lose it on alleged
fouls The charges each time were
holding. Finally, seeing that they
could not cross the goal line, Stewart
was called upon once or twice to try
field goal but failed in his attempts.
During the entire game st. Marys made
their distance only four times and the
oval was never dangerously near u. M.
C.'S goal line. When the Catholics fail
ed to advance the ball Maher was call
ed upon to punt, and his kicking was
feature of the game.
