An unusual occurrence took place in
Ripley this week. 1t was in connection
with the burial of Rev. John Friend.
for many years one of the wellknown
preachers in this part Of the State. 4
most eloquent man. who died in Kings
bury, June T.. from the effects of in
iuries sustained while at work in the
woods. The funeral was held at the
Christian church i'm Ripley. a large
number of friends of the deceased be-
ing present. The interment was in the
village cemetery. Owing to the eX-
ceedingly lifelike appearance and the
condition of his body many at the
funeral We're not convinced of Mr..
Friends death and so expressed them
selves. Fears being entertained that
he had been inferred alive and the
sentiment growing so rapidly. in the
evening prominent citizens accom-
panied by the legal authorities went to
the yard and had the body disinterred.
The remains were taken back to the
church and trusty men placed in
charge. At an early hour In the
morning decomposition had commenced
to take place rapidly. proving without
doubt. that life was extinct. and the
body was once more taken to the
burial year and inferred. He left two
children. two brothers. several nieces,
and a large circle of friends to mourn
his loss. Naturally the outgrowth of
these strange proceedings in the little
town has given rise to many and
curious stories of an unreliable charac-
ter and it is to have the facts known
that a well known citizen of that town
offered the above statement.

SHE TOOK HER
OWN LIFE

1t took the jury in the Miamo-
to Tori case just fifteen minutes yes
terday afternoon to reach a verdict of
suicide.
The sensational testimony expected
did not materialize, although the jury
are of the opinion that if the truth
We're known the cause leading up to the
death of the Japanese woman would be
interesting.
1t was impossible to get any of the
witnesses to give evidence that would
throw any light on the reason why the
deed was committed, and in each in
stance the testimony was given on the
same lines, showing that the witnesses
We're carefully prepared for the exam
ination.
Each one testified that there had
never been any trouble between the
man and wife, and during the after
noon it developed that the Japanese
named Ulchida, who had testified on
the night previous and had denied that
he knew that the woman had taken
poison, was fully aware of that fact.
DR.. Sam Kobayashi was the first
witness called and to the questions
propounded to him he replied that it
was his opinion that the woman came
to her death by taking insect powder.
He said that he was called to the
house between 5 and o'clock on the
afternoon of the Srd of January and
found the woman was very i'll, but did
not think that she was in a serious
condition.
He made an ante-mortem eXamina-
ton and later the woman confessed to
him that she had taken two spoonsful
of buhach powder in the presence of
her husband, father-in-law and the
japanese, Ulchida. She would not tell
why she had committed the rash act.
DIR. Shorey was the next witness
called and he claimed that he had
made a thorough microscopic eXamina-
ton of the powder found in the can
and it was his belief that it was not
the true buhach powder, but rather a
commercial substitute, prepared from
leaves and stems and some vegetable
fibre, and should not be sold under the
name of "buhach."
A Japanese woman named Singh said
that she had lived in the next room to
the dead woman for some time and
had never seen any evidence of trouble
between the husband and wife.
She claimed that she did not know
that poison had been taken and could
not be made to say anything further.
The inquest was rested at this point
and soon after the jury returned YER
dict as follows: THAT the said Mia
motto, at Honolulu, Island of Oahu,
came to her death at Honolulu, Island
of Oahu, on the 18th day of January,
A. d. 1901, from poisoning by taking
certain poison, to-wit, insect pow
der manufactured by the Western
Chemical Company of Chicago, with
intent to commit suicide"

AMERICAN COMES INTO PORT.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5.-The Ha-

new steamship American arrived from
New York yesterday. She is a dupll-
cate of the Californian, built by the

equally as good a vessel as the one
now under charter to the government.
The American left New York sixty-slx
days ago, and called at st. Lucas for

and from there she came on to San

Rev. John Cook Says This Is the
Home for the Negroes.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 22.-The
Rev. John Henry Cook, a colored
preacher of Mississippi, who recently
went to Hawaii to inspect the sugar
plantations and the opportunities there
offered to negro laborers, returned by
the Zealandia today. He says he Is
much pleased with the outlook. and the
companion who went with him remain
ed at Kohala and began work on Il
plantation. Cook says he Will advise
the people of his race to emigrate to
Hawaii and he will accompany them.
He says the advantages Hawaii offers
over any of the Southern States are
higher wages, shorter hours of labor,
and no extremes of heat and cold. In
addition he says the quarters provided
free by plantations are better on the
average than the negroes are able to
provide for themselves in Mississippi
Then there are free medical attendance
and other advantages, which make the
real wages much larger than the APP
parent ones. There Is n good system

SUSPENSION FOR SIX OTHERS

mentS for Others

Washington, May 22-Col A. l.
Mills. superintendent of the Military
Academy, left Washington yesterday
after a conference with the secretary
Of war I'm order to be present at West
Point today, when an order will be
read dismissing five cadets from the
academy and suspending six more on
charges Of mutiny and breach Of dis
cipline. There are a large number OF
other cadets upon whom will be in
iiicted minor punishments. such as ex-
ira duty. confinement to quarters. de-
privation of holidays and reduction OF
class rank. II is understood that
Douglas Macarthur. son of Mai. Gen.
Macarthur, commanding in the Philip
pines, will escape with minor punish
ment
An official statement of the situation
at the academy was made at the war
department. It was said that the ca.
diets had been guilty of acts which
would not be serious in any other col
lege or school, but in view of the fact
that these young men were educated
by the government, at a government
institution, to learn obedience and to
learn how to command men and them
selves, it was necessary for them tC
be under a somewhat more rigid dis
cipline.
The trouble grew out of attempts tC
suppress hazing. Although promise.
of the suppression of hazing have beer
made, "bracing" still has been carried
on against the orders of the officials
Glass officers have failed to report casei
OF "bracinE' There also is the cas-,
of Cadet Ralston, who was reduced 70
not reporting misbehavior at the mes
table.
The mutiny or INSTRUMENTATION grew
out Of the resentment of the second
class men, who have been at the acad
emy for three years, at the punish
ments inflicted by the academy Of
fcials It took the form Of such Of
fenses toward the superintendent a.
training the gun upon his quarters an,
in other acts which the academy of
fcers could not but take notice. Thi
resulted in the trials and sentences T.
dismissal approved by the secretary o
war yesterday.
There are two other court martha
cases i'm the academy pending in the
department where cadets have beol
sentenced to dismissal There is
rule at the academy that a cadet In
vited out 90 dinner can be excused AM
leave tho post. Two cadets invite.
each other to dinner and made thi
their excuse for absence. Their rus
was discovered.
