In the city of Washington, in the open
cars smoking is allowed upon the three
rear seats. In the closed cars it is not
allowed at all, and people are forbidden
from standing on the platforms. The
practice of smoking as followed here is
very reprehensIble The drivers smoke
now though at one time they were
strictly forbidden to do so, but like
every thing else about the tram cars
they have got lax. Smoking in the cars
was forbidden when Mr.. Gribble was in
charge, before the line was turned over
to the present managers.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1901-01-15

A masked ball will be a great novelty
in Honolulu, though there have been
some efforts in this direction in times
past. 1t will give an opportunity for
designing pretty dresses, and will ac-
crue to the advantage of dry goods
stores and dressmakers, while the main
object, the eye and ear hospital, will
most probably be put in funds. But
what some of us can never see is why
funds should have to be raised by social
entertainments instead of being sub
scribed directely. 1t is the old story of
subscribing a quarter and then donat-
ing a five dollar piece to help the sub
scription to get to its destination.

PUBLIC SPEAKING.

Commandante Jan Krige, of
the Boer army, will address the
people of this county in the court
yard park Saturday afternoon,
the 23rd, at 2 O'Clock. Mr.. Krige
speaks excellent English, and
makes fine address in behalf of
his struggling countrymen. He
was an officer in the Boer army,
was taken prisoner and escaped
to this country. Having private
means of his own, he is making a
tour of this country in the hope
of giving the American people a
correct idea of the South African
situation. Don't fail to hear
him.

Flynn, the wild Irishman of
Oklahoma who with the native
wit and liquor plenty made the
inhabitants believe he had pre-
sented each homesteader with
three hundred dollars, is another
Barber county product. Then
there is Tom McNeal with his
fables and fun, and a brow that
bulges like a sausage where the
stuffin is too much for the
strength of the skin. He also
comes from the city of the cura-

comes the greatest man of all

impossible to get a money order
at the Great Bend postoffice-
that branch of Uncle Sans bust
ness being out of blank money
order forms. But then this ultra
republican town does not mind
little inconvenience like that.
1t was Gould, was it not, who
said: sThe public be damned?"

to emulate the plutocracy.

Freight Rates on Hops Raised.

On and after April the price OF
transporting hops from all Pacific coast
points to eastern markets will be raised
Some time ago an emergency rate wa.
made OF $3.50 per hundred pounds from
the Pacific coast to all eastern cities on
account of the prevalent low price of the
product. Since then hops have raised
in price and the old rate of s. per hun
dred pounds will be established. This
return to the old rate has been adopted
by all railroads doing Pacific coast bust
ness.
The maximum carload of dried fruit
will on and after April l be 10000
pounds, the same rule going into effect
in regard to canned goods. In the past
the carload rate was $1,000 pounds.

Doing Its Share.

No one can accuse the Burlington
Route of not doing its share in the up.
building of the Northwest.
Thursday, February II, it transferred
to the Northern Pacific at Billings, nc
less than 561 passengers. February 2l
80 passengers were transferred and or
February 2S, 295 more.
In other words, in three days the
Burlington has added nearly l POO peo
pie to the population OF Montana, Idaho
Washington, and Oregon. All OF which
goes to show that the Burlington is fast
becoming big factor in travel to ane

QUESTION ANSWERED,

Yes, August Flower still has the lar.
gest sale OF any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grand.
mothers never thought of using any.
thing else for indigestion or biliousness
Doctors were scarce, and thev seldom
heard of appendicitis, nervous prostra.
ton or heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the system
and stop fermentation of the liver,
stimulate the nervous and organic
action OF the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses OF Green's Au-
gust Flower, in liquid form, to make YOU
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with YOU. Get Green's Prize
