Traredv at Appleton.

Monday night about O'Clock DR..
J. j. S. McCabe shot and seriously
wounded H. M. Hayes of this village.
The shooting took place Immediately
outside OF the tailorshop of A. H So
derling. DR.. McCabe fired two shots
one of which took effect in the neck ot
Mr.. Hayes, who was able to walk
over to the saloon of T. H. Lilevjen
where he remained until medical aid
could reach him. He is in a precari
Gus condition and little hope is enter
tanned of his final recovery.
The cause of the trouble was a dis
pute over the ownership of a counter
and two tables in the tailorshop ot
Mr.. Soldering. DR.. McCabe claimed
that they belonged to the building and
denied the right of Mr.. Soderling tc
remove them.
1t appears that DR.. Hayes had sum
moned to his assistance Mr.. Hayes ir
order to prevent Mr.. Soderling from
taking his property out of the build
ing, the latter being engaged in NOV
ing. ,.-,
They all three happened to meet /,
the saloon of T. 81. Lilevjen, wher'
the matter was discussed between them
and there Mr.. Hayes joined with Mr.
soderling in denying the doctor
claim to the property and offered Mr.
Soderling to help him move it out o
the building. 49, ss.-<..> >
They started out of the saloo1
across the street to the tailorshop
DR.. McCabe following, and no word
were exchanged. AS they came to th
door DR.. McCabe shot. According t
Mr.. Soldering he also turned on him
but the latter quickly retreated an
got safely inside Of the door.
The doctor gave himself up to Maj
shal Deariinger and was immediatel
lodged in the city jail. appleton Tr

An Appeal for Prohibition.
Roseland, March II, 19

EDITOR TRIBUNE:-As the Willmar
village election is approaching I hope
you will permit country boy to tell
what the temperance people in the
country think about the saloon ques-
ton. We hope to see you voting out
the saloon and electing men that will
close up the illegal joints. Think OF
the sorrows aud troubles caused by
the rum demon. A man ordinarily
peaceful, comes from one of these in
fernal places with his brain crazed by
liquor. He comes home to his family
and abuses aud beats them in the most
brutal manner. You who vote to
place temptation in the way of that
man are as guilty in those blows as
The poor wretch himself. You have
helped to make hell on earth in tha1
home, where peace and happiness
might reign but for your vote. Think
OF the murders committed by creatures
bereft Of their sense by this demon.
These things happen all around US.
They are liable to happen in your
community if you get the saloon.
How would you feel if you had voted
to establish the saloon that sold the
stuff which caused a murder? Weigh
your responsibilities in such matters
before you vote.
We country people feel that we are
as much interested in the se matters as
you are. We are as liable to suffer
from the mad acts of drunken people,
and we have no police to guard the
peace and lock up the drunkards
Yet we have no voice in the matter,
and can only implore you, voters o1
Willmar, to vote to protect your
self and us from the tyrannical rule
of King Alcohol and his bruta1ized
subjects. If you do this it will be 8
pleasure to US to come to your city
and do our trading. May God bless
those who are working for the cause
of temperance, DEPUTY PAT.

to come when the populists could again

publicans. 49,. The infant child Of Mr..

licans, who before election believed
the standing army was large enough
but still voted the republican ticket,
where are ye? But we ought not to
kick; it is no doubt a good thing for
us common people. But it is queer
that some of us are going to be so ig.
norant as not to be able to see the
great good that lies therein. 1t is O!
course a great blessing to US, because
Mark Hanna says it is, and who ever
heard him tell asfib?. Our thoughts
are ever forming our characters, and
whatever they are most absorbed in

PURE HAwA1IANs DECREASING.
Professor Stubs on the Efforts of
immigration to Hawaii

The consent of the Japanese Govern
ment to the emigration of it's subjects
to Hawaii was obtained with difficulty
in 1884, and in 1886 a labor convention
was ratified. Since then the increase of
the Japanese element in the population
has been constant and rapid. 1t rose
from 116 in 1884 to 1880 in 1890 and
$4,000 in 1896. At the close of 1899 it is
estimated to be about $4,000. of whom
about 10000 are employed in sugar
plantations. They have for the most
part been recruited from the lowest
classes in Japan. Unlike the Chinese,
they show no inclination to intermarry
with the Hawaiians. They may fairly
be characterized as versatile ingenious,
initiative, but clannish to an extreme,
tickle and vain. In regard to labor
unions and strikes they can give points
to other nationalities. Crimes of vio-
lence are more frequent among them
than any other race in the islands.
The effect of annexation to the United
States will be to put an end to all as
sisted immigration of whatever race,
and to exclude all Chinese laborers.
But under the recent treaty between
the United States and Japan, there is
nothing to limit the free immigration of
japanese, and several companies have
been formed to promote it.
The excessive preponderance of males
over females in Asiatic immigration
constitutes a serious menace to the
morals and health of the common
wealth.. In 1896 the ratio of males to
females was to 1 among the Chinese.
nearly to 1 among the Japanese, to Z
among the Portuguese and to among
other whites, the proportion for all the
inhabitants being 2 to /.
The decrease of the aboriginal po-
pulation has still continued, from A,
0SS in 1878 to 40, Ola in 1884, a. 436 in $780,
o II
being about 1.6 per cent year. At the
same time the part Hawaiians, the off
spring of intermarriages between Ha-
waiian women and men of other races
have been constantly increasing from
3240 in 1878 to APIS in 1884, 6,1S6 in $780,
and S,4S5 in 1896. All these facts point
to the gradual extinction of the FULL
blooded Hawaiians, and the absorp-
ton of the remnant of the race by tho
European and Asiatic population.

THE HEALANI SHOW.
The Minstrels Preparing Lively
Program.


After a month of hard rehearsing the
Healani Minstrels are assuming some
thing like the form in which they will
appear on the evening of Kamehameha
day at the Opera house. The big chorus
has been well trained by Manager John
Piver and the individual stunts are so
well chosen and so spiced with local
hits that they will keep the crowd in
terested through the whole programme.
Scarcely a notable of the city viii es-
cape without a punctuTe in his armor,
the Legislature, Herr Berger and his
band, the big politicians, well known
business men, all suffer at the hand of
the merry jokers of the Club.
The tickets for the performance We're
distributed to members of the club this
afternoon and for the next ten days or
or so they will be canvassing the total,
disposing of them. These tickets viii
be exchanged at Wall, Nichols on and
after June 7th for the reserved seats
which they will be entitled to receive
for them.
The MINISTRIES bid fair to be one of the
big events of Kamehameha day and
without doubt the Healanis will be re-
ceived by a record breaking house.
