LATE! LATE!! LATE!!!
t would seem that the NorthWes-

1t would seem that the NOrthWeS-
tern Officials would remedy the
trouble that has been in existence
on the Redwood branch for. several
Weeksthe continual delay of the
morning train. We believe that
there is norecord ofthis train being
on time during the past two months,
while the delay has been all the way
from fifteen minutes to over two
hours. Last Saturday it never
reached here until 1910, or just 20
minutes before it was due to leave,
but it left fifteen minutes late. It
appears that the cause of these de-
lays, which are exasperating to the
people OF Redwood Falls, and no
doubt to the people all along the
line, is that the company uses the
Redwood branch crew for switching
purpose at Sleepy Eye, and that the
crew has to handle almost daily an
extra amount of freight along the
branch. Last Saturday, if reports
are true, the crew did seven hours
of switching at Sleepy Eye before
it was ever. sent out on the branch,
and with the work on the latter, the
crew missed the noon day meal.
IF the freight on the branch is
giving the company trouble to handle
it, the officials should order. a spec
ial freight train, and run its passen-
gel. service on time. This is due to.
the people of the towns, who have a
right to secure their mail at proper
hours, and also to the travelling pub
i lie, particularly to the commercial
men, who have their schedules ar
ranged for the quick transaction of
business.

TARRED AND FEATHERED.
Y & Coy editor ri. the BRAIN

w. IS. Cox, editor of the Brainerd
Arena, was tarred and feathered by
some unknown parties on Tuesday
evening of last week. Prio1sto that
event he was chased by Hon. A. r.
Ferris. a we'll known and popular
banker and politician of Brainerd,
but Cox escaped with but little in
jury.
The trouble between Mr. Ferris
and Mr. Cox has been one Of long
standing Mr. Cox has taken it
upon himself to censure Mr.. Ferris
at every opportunity, and frequent
1y would distort the facts IN order
to be more severe upon his opponent.
Mr. Ferris paid little attention to
these vicious attacks, notWithstand-
ing the fact that Cox entered on
more than one occasion into Mr..
Ferris unfortunate domestic affairs.

European dog census

The European dog census has
been completed and shows France,
with 1854, 600 dogs, holding the Eu-
ropean record. Not only are. there
more dogssin France than in any
other country in Europe, but there
are more.per thousand inhabitants
than in any Iother European coun-
try. France has 70 dogs to every
thousand Of its inhabitants. Then
follow Ireland with 70, England
with 38, Germany with 81, and Swe-
den WithS IL. There are 2, 200, 600
dogs in Germany, 1900, 900 in Rus
STA and 35O, 200 in Turkey, though
tourists who have. resided lin Con
.stantinople aver that this number
falls short of the actual total. which
they think to be larger in Turkey
than elsewhere. IN France there IS
a dog tax and every dog is regis
tered, a condition which makes the.
computation comparatively easy ii
that country. The number Of dogs
IN the United States is estimated at.

most ferocious oil gushers in the
world going absolutely wild, is the
condition that has excited the Spin

Last Evening.

II HE tax collectors books for the
year 1901 were closed last even
ing. Though the footings have
not been completed Assessor Pratt es-
timated that the total collections for
Honolulu city alone will approximate
a half million dollars. This does not
take in the four other districts of Oa-
hu, but 1t does include the income tax
for the entire island. the sugar plan
ters all paying directly to Collector
Pratt.
The receipts yesterday fell far below
those of the previous day though the
Office force was just as busy. the ma
Jority of the taxpayers being those of
Synali property. Thursdays collection
amounted to $157.OOO
The percentage of the income to the
general property tax is still uncertain
though it is expected to come up very
close to the other tax. Mr.. Pratt said
last evening that 1t would be less than
the property tax, but what the diner
ence is, he could not say. as the income
tax has been collected for the entire ISL
and and the general tax is for the Ho-
nolulu district alone. No estimate OF
the revenue derived fror.l the other
districts of Oahu could be made last
evening. though it will hardly bring
the total up to three-quarters of mill
lion.
The income tax paid yesterday was
still accompanied by protests. the aver
age citizen filing his kick more as a
matter of right than with any real an
ticipation of ever having his money re-
turned. In some quarters the tax was
paid with the idea of assisting the gov
ernment out Of its present dilemma, and
once the financial condition improves.
an attempt will be made to recover
the tax paid. 1t is very generally un-
derstood, however, that If 1t were not
for the income tax the property assess
nent would be proportionately higher.
Treasurer Wright does not expect to
hear from other island districts much
before the first of December The in
come tax returns are OF course a very
uncertain factor when 1t comes to MAX
ng up the estimates, and the treasurer
g unable to make any predictions OF
what will be the total revenue this year.
Assessor Pratt said last evening that
he number of delinquents will be quite
arge, greater on the property than on
he income tax. The publication of the
delinquent tax list in so far as 1t would
how the amount of money g. man earn
d during the past year, is more feared
" the average citizen than the addi-
ion Of the ten per cent penalty. In the
ase of income tax the tax draws nine
er cent interest until paid.

decision has been arrived at by the
board relative to the break on the Wal
akea road at Hackfeld's. There is talk
that a culvert will be put in and pipes
used to keep the flow within bounds.
Such a plan does not have the fun sup
port of the board for the reason, 1t is
said, that anytime there was a north

pipes. The board began the erection of
a temporary bridge Monday afternoon

SOUTH KoNA MEETING.
Directors VIII Continue Their En-
desvor to Sell Bonds,

The stockholders of the South Kona
Agricultural Company held a special
meeting yesterday morning at the office
Of w. r. Castle. After hearing a full
report on the negotiations which have
been carried on in San Francisco to
float a bond issue Of 100000. the stock
holders directed the officers to continue
these negotiations.
The report on the progress OF the
work Of the plantation was very salts
factory. At present 300 acres Of cane
are ready for cutting, but as the ma
chinery for harvesting is not ready the
cane will have to be cut back. The re-
port also showed the development and
the natural facilities Of the plantation
to be excellent and 1t is believed that IL
the sale OF the bonds be successful the
chances for 15,O00~ton plantation will
be very great indeed.

KING EDWARD WI.

He looked a king-yes, every inch
king; and today bis subjects are looking
forward with expectant hope to see him
display on the great field on which he
has q right to pre-eminent domain.
Many OF the associates OF the Prince of
Wales will laugh to scorn.the idea that
their old companion Of the former days
should be capable of bloesoming out in
one year into a serious sovereign. Those
who writ him down after his seeming
questioned whether he were capable OF
the high mission Of playing the great
role in the governance Of his realm
which had been 30 long filed by his
mother. Those, however, who enjoyed
his intimacy maintained that there was
nothing that he would like better than
to essay bis powers in this new field.
He had cast wistful and envious eyes at
the opportunities enjoyed by others who
long before they had attained their
sixtieth year were vested with all the
panoply Of sovereignty. Many years ago
the Prince commented somewhat plain
lively upon the difference between him
and his nephew, the Kaiser. Look at
my nephew" he said. "He is but
youth; he is the center of everything,
orders everything, directs everything. is
everything; whereas. I am not allowed
to do anything at ALL"

the abstract superiority Of that form OF
government, no one can deny the enor.

against the Paquin skirt.

vently her faith in the Modish edicts-
concerning modes, that ls-remonstrates
earnestly against the PRONUNCIATION of
such mistaken verdict as was issued in
the Modish letter a week or 80 ago.
"Paquin skirts not to be worn! Where
are the Modish eyesf Haven't they
seen Mrs. Ollie Iselin's gown Of green
clothf Haven't they seen Mrs. Corne-
Illus VaDderbilt's gown of famingo redY
Aren't their skirts cut as wide ct the

there others equally ss prominent In
the glass Of fashion who have been seen
in raiments cut on these sams lines9
The very idea that the Psquin skirt will
not prevail is nonsense ~
Now, l like the enthusiasm Of my
unknown correspondent. She is un-
doubleday tall and thin and willowy. l
can see her wearing Paquin skirt az
she writes.
The evidence Of people having the
courage Of their convictions is always
charming.
Ny writing friend has been bit hasty,
however.
She had better read more carefully
what really was said about the Paquin
skirt.
1t was never stated that the Paquin
skirt had not been and would not be
adopted by the few; for that it has been
always. What was said wss that it was
30 suited to the mutable many that it
would never become an established
fashion that lie generally worn.
II my captious friend will glance back
at the Modish view of things last week,
she will see that it was distinctly stated,
beyond any question OF doubt, that
pleats in various kinds and forms would
be a marked feature in the new seasons
skirts.
Only to notice the slinkiness and dia-
phaneous nature Of the new material
would make anyone positive Of this,
without waiting for the confirmation to
be given blythe French models, which
are now on their way.
This same lady. by the way. while
questioning the authority Of the Modish
statements, closes her effusion by ask
ing me to please say what will be the
smartest substitute for mohair gowns
this coming season.
As this smart and serviceable fabric
seems to have pslled on the tickle fan
cies Of the Modish clans, one can scarce
ly be sure Of anything that is sartorisl.
its vogue was. seemingly being assured
forever, but they tell me that crepe de
China Of some weight and satin finish
will take its place. There is also new
satin finish cloth Of light weight which
should be much worn, az 1t is an excep-
tionalIy graceful and becoming fabric.
Apropos Of that fiamirgo red gown Of
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. which was
80 violently flung in the Modish face, it
is certainly smart enough to warrant it's
being described.
1t is of the new satin-fin cloth.
The skirt, as We already know, is "cut
as wide at the top as it Is at the
bottom"
