World.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Experi-
ments in the treatment of leprosy are
being conducted at the Medical Mis-
sionary society's hospital at Canton by
DIR. Adolph Rezlag, a noted specialist
of Vienna. United States Consul Nc
Wade, at Canton has forwarded a pre-
liminary report to the Secretary Of
State which was furnished him by Dr.
Swan of the hospital staff. The report
says:
After carefully considering the mat
ter and obtaining the approval of our
board of hospital managers to lend Dr.
Rezlag what aid we could we have ad-
mitted three marked cases of leprosy
into an isolated room and have given
the doctor what aid we could in pro-
viding suitable conditions for the treat
ment OF these cases. Every precaution
has been taken against infection from
these cases which in twenty-four hours
time have begun to show signs of i'm
provement.
From DIR. Rezlag's intelligent meth

he shows in the management of these

made In connection with these cases
also that there are no secret or propri-
etary remedies used, or any methods of
treatment followed that would be in
the least detrimental to the welfare of
the patient. Pictures have been taken

are likely to come under treatment to

ON KAALA'S
HIGH PEAK
Teachers Ascend to a
Lofty Mountain
Swamp.

The steep slopes of Mt Kaala in the
Waianae range were scaled Saturday
by party Of men and women and a
new trail to the summit, which is 3,050
feet above the level of the ocean, was
opened up. For perhaps the second
time women have made the laborious
ascent. The party was guided by Mr..
Tracy who had some days before blaz-
ed trail through the heavy under
growth making 1t possible for the wo-
men to ascend In the party were Prof.
Wood, principal of the Normal School,
Miss Pierce, Miss Nina Adams, Miss
Whine and Mr.. Dowdle of Maui.
The party started from the Wahiawa
settlement early on Saturday morning,
made the ascent and returned the same
day arriving at the settlement about
Z o'clock. The expedition made a fast
trip.
When the summit was reached a fiat
area was found, a table-land which is
nothing more or less than a swamp,
filled with the dank underground pc
culiar to tropical and marshy countries.
So dense was this growth that the
party was unable to see the surround
ing country without getting on higher
points. At such times the whole ex-
panse of Oahu was displayed and the
ocean was to be seen on both sides of
the island. Those who were botanists
and interested in nature study founu
most interesting things, the flora being
peculiar to that special section.
Prof. Wood was interested in the ieie
vine, a clinging species which produces
fruit and flower of wonderful beauty.
He brought several specimens back to
Honolulu. Some time ago he received
a request from French botanist in
Florida for roots, flowers and the fruit
of the vine, and specimens viii shortly
be sent on.
Twenty years ago Prof Alexander
at the head of the Hawaiian govern
ment survey department, sent an as
sistant to the summit of Kaala where
he erected a staff and flag, and with
these for a basic station, Prof. Alexan-
der made some valuable measurements
of heights in that vicinity.

SCHOOLS ESTABLISHED.

The fourth step was the establish
ment of schools Spain couldn't build a
school building in four hundred years,
but we have built thirty eight in three
years and have twenty more under con-
struction. Before the war, Spain had
$4,000 pupils in 53S schools, for whose
tuition the parents had to pay. After
three years the United States has 5O,-
900 pupils in 939 schools without ex-
pense to the parents.
The fifth step for the Porto Ricans
Is the spending of all their money at
home. No more tribute is sent abroad.

All Hands Drunk.

The hrce-masted schooner Dora
Matthew, of New York, bound from
NSwburyport to N NeW Y orls City, went
ashore at Il O'Clock Thursday morning
on Logwood bar or Chatham, and will
be total loss. The captain and crew
of seven men were taken Off in the
breeches buoy. According to the state
ments Of the Drew who freely discuss
ed the wreck after they had been res
cucd, the sailors had been using liquor
since the time the schooner left New
buryport. All the seven men constl-
tuting the Grew arc negroes. The only
white men on board was Capt Bon

from the ship shortly after she went
ashore, Capt. Donzey refused to leave
his vessel at the time. He stated that
he did not care to abandon her until
he became assured that she would al
most certainly be total wreck,

Tho Storm Coming.

lhe q. indications are that thS NRepub-
llcan slgS' .t party which stands for trusts
'll1 and,3 lnonopolies, has over done It's
work VOL and are about to be called to ac-
count by the, people. The Spaftanburg
Herald says eYerywhcre there are in
dications that the people are thinking
and digesting political problems. The
frantic cries Of President Roosevelt
against tho trusts, lame and imponent
as they are, indicate the direction Of
the wind. The retirement OF Speaker
Henderson from the race for congress
in his Iowa district, emphasizes the
trend Of public thought. The people
Of the United States are determined
that the hands Of the trusts shall be
torn from their throats. They have
decreed that this government shall be
run In the interest Of the people, and
Speaker Henderson holding the second
place IN the republic, but slightly In
ferior In actual power and influence t
tho presidency, declines to make tho
race. There Is a reason for his retreat
and 1t Is found in the unmistakablo
expression Of the Iowa Republicans
that our tariff laws shall not afford a
shelter for monopoly. All signs indl-
cate that tho next presidential contest
will be fought on the tariff as a means
OF affording shelter to the trusts, and
the next president will be Democrat,
unless somebody blundcrs." We hope

George Bruce, the Indian murderer
who escaped from jail at SAN Bernardo.
no, Col, was recently killed III d llor-
rlble manner by meinbers OF his tribe
because they fancied that he had
"hc9odooed' their water supply. Last
spring Bruce murdered his seventeen
year-old sister-in-law, Victoria. He
had paid SO much attention to the
girl as to make his wife Jealous. s,he
fncited other Indian women to arouse
superstitious fears Of Bruce with tales
that Victoria had cast an evil eye on
him.
They told him to Kill the girl II he
desired to save his own life. So lie
waylaid her, strangled her with wire
rope and tossed her still living body
Into q grave. After his escape from
jail he made his way to his tribe in
Nevada. There lie was received cold
ly and soon 1t was whispered that he
was responsible for tho failure OF the
irrlgating water. Crops were dying,
SO 1T was decided that Bruce must die.
The other day he was seized, his
arms tiled behind him and while the
tribe gathered about he was started
Off on run at the end OF a rope held
by a mounted Indian. Bruce kept
up with the horse for some distance
until he arrived at u clump OF cacti,
when the rider quickly circled about
throwing Bruce to tho ground and
he was dragged on his face throught t
the patch and back to camp where
tho squa%s beat him with switches.
That night his body was placed on a
huge funeral pyre and consumed while
Indians danced about IT..

/ Color Limo frl Indiana,

Several days ago the patrons OF tho
Evansville, Indiana, schools withdrew
all their children from the school and
when the matter was investigated it
was learned that the parents beloved
a young girl named Mabel Smith was
colored. The board OF education pro-
tested and the truant officer thrca ten
cd to have the parents arrested for not
sending their children to school, but
this had no effect and the teachers sat
day after day without pupils. The
board OF education then appointed
nine physicians to examine the girl
and report as to whether she had any
negro blood in her veins. Five Of
them said she had and four said she
had not, and this left the matter in
as bad shape as before. The board
then entered upon an investigation It.
self and summoned Mrs. Wade, super
intendent OF the home for friendless
children, at which Institution Mabel
lives. Mrs, Wade testified that sho
knew the parents Of the child; that
they were French descent and died
several years ago, and that Mabel,
though unusually darkskinned, had
no negro blood in her veins. The
patrons Of the school had committee
present, and after Mrs. Wade testified
they consented to let their children
return to school.

is to be another chapter to the recent
sensation over forged tax certificates
IN Marion county. Editor a. p. Jor-

rested, charged with malicious SANDER.
The warrant was served Wednesday

fifty Of the leading citizens OF Dillon,

The warrant charges malicious slam

statement that Mr.. Blue charged these
gentlemen with classifying In theAnat

poses in the new county contest.
There is very strong and bitter feeling
over this matter, and as there Is a

a Lover Suicides.

The Augusta Chronicle says crazed
by grief the result OF a quarrel with
his best girl, a. West End young man
went to his homo Thursday night and
Friday morning committed suicide.
The young man made choice Of the
laudanum route to get away from his
troubles. His effort was successful,
as he died despite the prompt medical
treatment Of several physicians. The
young mans name was W. Fl Mat
thcwS, the son of Mr.. w. "A. Mat
thews. He resided with his father at
505 Moore avenue Augusta. Friday
morning, near noon he was found i'll
In his room. DR.. Story and Turner
were called to the young mans bedside,
md at once recognized that they had
q case Of poisoning from an overdose
OF Some narcotic When aroused the
young man admitted that he had
taken on ounce vial OF laudanum. The
physicians worked faithfully to over
como the effects Of the drug, but were
not successful, the young man dying
at $3.50 Friday afternoon. 1t seems
that the young man was respondent
early In the morning and going to the
Stothart pharmacy on Walton Way,
purchased a vial Of laudannm. He
reached home with 1t and at once re-
tired to his room, where 1t is suppos-
ed he drank It. He was found an hour
or more later in the day. On Thurs
day night the young man escorted a
young lady to the Platz, to on en-
tertainment. She was escorted home
by another young man. 1t is believed
that the two Quarrelled. Young Mat

standing.
