Sailing under Difficulties.

A number OF sailors from the gun
boat Wheeling we're out driving
yesterday afternoon. Some OF them
steered their horses back to the
stables, but others put the wheel
either too much to port or starboard
with the result that wrecked buggies
and tired horses are to day taking q
much needed rest, Nsar the Or
pheum a horse attached to light
buggy made things lively for a
while. As there was no rigging u
offer a place of safety, the tars invo-
luntarily landed on tina sidewalk and
the buggy and the shafts parted
company at telephone pole. 1t was
a complete ship wreck. The horse
was capture later onion Shoot street.

Tug of War Contest.

There was a big crowd at the
Aala warehouse on Saturday night,
The All Americans which we're
scheduled TO pull with the Long
shoremen failed to show up and a
substitute team gave up t. ghost
after minutes 81 seconds. The
Wela Ka Haos and the PortuL uese
took the cleats next. A large sum
OF money changed hands during the
contest. The Wela-Ka-Haos weighed
twice as much as the Portuguese,
still it took them 36 minutes before
the Manuels gave up. Most OF the
betting was that the Hawaiiaus
would win in % minutes; but the
Portugu -se pu led ard pulled and
held on to the ropes until ibe
hackers OF the Wela Ka Haos wond-
cred what was going TO happen.
There are rumors that the pull was
fake but it did not look that
way. 1t cannot be denied, how
ever, that the Wela Ka Haos were
a cruel deception to their friends.

IN DEFENSE OF DIR. OLIVER.
Statement from tn, rispensary Side
of the Recent Leper Settlement
Incident.

case OF PilipJ Mikila have not been
made public, therefore propose to
make short statement, as Doctor
Oliver was not allowed to be pre-
sent in the Committee Room when
his accusers were examined nor 10
hear their evidence. He has learned
it in second hand way only. II
the report the Doctor received is
correct, he unhesitstingly says that
certain witnesses lied.
1t has been customary at the Ka.
laupspa Dispensary for the Jailor
to bring or send up prisoners once
week or SO, The Doctor insisted
on this, as formerly he was frequent
ly called to the prison for triAing
ailments, aud often as not, on ar.
rival at the jail, he was unable TO
obtain admittauce, When any
prieoner was unable to come to the
Dispensary, for instance, a fever
case, he was attended to by the
Doctor at the jail.
The man Pilipo came to the Dis
pensary on several occasions with
the Tailor, and the Doctor seeing
that he was far advanced with the
disease, told tie iilor not to bring
him up again. but seq to it that he
was washed, as his condition was
anything but clean. The Doctor
also found out from the man that,
he suffered no pain and that be was
able TO attend TO thu sores on his
feet himself. The Jailor was in the
habit, either personally or through
one of the pri oners, of receiving
lint, medicns Al soap, dressings and
simple medicines from the Dis
pepsers, when they we're asked for.
In all far advanced cases OF
leprosy, the patient requires nurse
rather than a doctor, and unless
there is pain or wound threatens
to mortify, doctor is Of little use.
10 the present instance, the Tailor
and thu prisoner were told by the
Doctor that medicines were useless.
All that anyone could do for him
was to give him wine, nourishing
food, keep him clean and attend to
hi, sores. The Jailor was also told
to report to the Doctor il the man
should experience paiu, or if his
condition should become worse. As
he heard nothing more OF him, the
Doctor, after the lapse of ten days
or go, supposed that the man was "a
usual aud that he had received
dressings, etc.
The Doctor heard nothing what
ever about the state OF the man, or
that maggots had appeared in the
sores on his feat, until he had been
allowed TO be taken to his home.
He then OF course attended him,
being requested to do so by mem.
bers OF benevolent society.
When thu Doctor saw the weak
state Of the man, as said before, he
told the Tailor that he would speak
to Superintendent Reynolds about
removing Pilipo to the Bay
View Hone, The Doctor did
speak to Superintendent Reynolds,
He told him that doctor wac OF no
use in such Gaze. That the man
required nursing, wine and nourish
ing food, Supt. Reynolds replied,
after visiting the man, that he
would not remove him, but that he
would see that he had every atten-
ton paid to him by tina Tailor, and
that he would get better treatment
where he was, than he would re,
ceive at the Bay View Home, Supt.
Reynolds also told the Doctor that
the Jailor was fully able to look
after the prisoner, and that he

The Waxahachie daily light. [volume] (Waxahachie, Tex.) 1894-current, 1902-07-19

The newspapers of the country
were never more thoroughly indie
pendent, editorially, and otherwise,
than they are today. OF necessity
they are commercial enterprises
and as such they are run on strict
business principles.
With a million or two dollars al
ready invested and gigantic pay
roll to meet every week, it would in
deed be strange if the business end
were not considered of Importance.
The successful newspaper of to-
day is run along the same general
lines as any other big concern. 1t
is successful because it has built
upon a solid foundation and has the
confidence of it's constituency.
All this tommyrot about "surren-
der OF principles" ETC., make fair
summer reading perhaps, but taken
seriously 1t is weaker than pink
lemonade at a ten cent circus

INSANITY DUE TO NERVOUS
AND MENTAL TROUBLES
Paine's Celery
Compound
The Great Tower OF Safety and
Rock OF Health in the
Hot Weather

Nervous diseases, when aggra-
waited by mental disturbances pro-
duce more causes of insanity
in the hot weather than at any
other season of the year. Nerv-
Gus headache, nervous dyspepsia,
sleeplessness and chronic constipa-
ton induce depression of spirits
extreme weakness, morbid tears,
dependency and languor; from
these, dread insanity comes slowly
but surely.
Nervous sufferers have a dread of
bot weather. Finding themselves
deeper in the pit of misery than they
were in the spring and early sum
mer, they are i'm utter despair.
There is hope for you, dear reader,
if Won are one Of the sufferers. You
stand in need of Paine's Celery
Compound, that great builder OF the
nervous system. Its vitaliztng
action commences with the first
bottle YOU use. The volume Of
blood Immediately Increases in the
arteries. and the body Is fully fed
and uourished. Your appetite be
comes regular and natural, the
nerves and brain are strengthened,
and You have impulses of health
that cheer the soul.
This remarkable remedy will truly
meet your case and give you "A new
life; il will lay the foundation for
happiness and long years. W.
counsel YOU to try this marvellous
summer healtI-restorer mt once and
enjoy the blessings of health.

PROGRESS AND GOOD ROADS.

Good country roads, and good,
practical agricultural education are
the two things needed to make this
country, and especially the South
western portion of it, what it ought
to be. With good country roads,
there would be free rural mail deliy-
cry, and needed facilities for reach
ing market. shipping points, and for
social intercourse, making business
worth pursuing and life worth living.
With good roads would come per
sonal enterprise and nearby neigh
bors until the land would be all oC-
cupied with farms and rural homes.
There would follow surbuban rapid
transit, and city business men
perheated brick, and breathe coal
gas during the hours Of rest, and
every one, as soon as financially
able, would establish his feeding
place and dormitory under the pure
air of the country. The poverty
stricken, the jewellers, and the nee
essary police force, would alone oc-
cupy the city during the night. A
country home without an orchardor
garden or farm, would be but little
Improvement or macadam, gravel or
asphalt. Therefore when intelligent
and progressive business men come
TO the help of the farmers there will
be emulotion and progress, and agri-
culture will take on additional
charms. Then there would be none
left to oppose the teaching of agri-
culture in all public schools. Then
the banker, the merchant, the manu-
facturer, the lawyer, the physician
and the teacher would unite their
voices with that of the farmer in a
general demand that the art and
science of living successfully In the
country districts be taught to their
children. The farmers of this day
need just such stimulus as this
condition would supply Farm and
Ranch.
