BASIS OF FIRE CLAIMS.

Those of US who We're here when the
,raa+ fire occurred In Chinatown know
that the blaze, which. under ordinary
circumstances could have been confined
To the buildings in which it started
was caught up on a sudden and strong
trade wind and carried, fairly over the
heads of the firemen. into the multitude
of shacks beyond So quick was the
work OF the flames that fire engine
was caught in the swirl and burned
There was no dearth of water ana no
lack of help AS at San FRANCISCO IN
1s5s and in Chicago and Boston after
wards, all the engines that could nave
been massed would not have availed TO
check the confagration.
The effect of the fire was, on the
whole a good one from sanitary point
of view. deplorable as it was in its de-
struction of property values Wnen II
was over the bubonic plague began 10
5ac1ine While that plague lasted it
was a menace to American commerce
and the integrity of the public heaith
in ports of the Pacific Coast. Vessels
were calling here on the run between
Asia. Australia and the coast; and YES
sells were leaving here almost oaliy
with eargoes for California. oregon anu
the sound. Any and all of them were
liable to take on infected rats and one
vessel, the Carlisle city, touching at
san Diego and San Francisco, had them
on board on arrival out. When the
news of the great fire reached Wash
ington it was received with much salts
faction by the Federal quarantine Of
ficiais.
At that time Hawaii was not an IN
dependent power nor had it been or
ganized as a Territory; it was posses
sion of the United States. 1t had cou-
pie of millions of surplus in the treasury
and these it spent in lighting the plague.
Had it's revenues been left to it, enough
money would have been raised in two
wears more to meet all claims. But
the revenues from customs and the
postoffice went to Washington and were
absorbed into the body of the rational
surplus, leaving Hawaii barely enough
to meet current expenses, economically
figured out, and without the power to
issue bonds to cover the fire claims. had
that policy been deemed advisable.
Hence the request to Congress to per-
NIT the use of purely Hawaiian rev.
enues for the payment of Chinatownl
damages. 1t is not an unprecedented
request by any means. The Federal
revenues of Porto Rico have been used
for local purposes and those of Sam
tiago and Havana, Cuba, during the
American administration there had a
similar disposition. The cases, it is
true, are not precisely parallel with that
of Hawaii, but they are nearly enough
SO to justify, in connection with the
advantage the Chinatown fire was to
American commerce and ports, the aid
which Hawaii asks at the hands of
Congress.

know that the only comment made by

ing the revolution of the 18th, 18th and
18th of January. 1908, upon the presence
ashore of the U. S. marines, was the
following from the Bulletin: Our

has called the Democrats snakes" In
an article attacking Prince Kuhio, the

them not TO place any confidence in the

them and their cause and that THESE

Catarrh usually starts with a cold in the
head, and if left unchecked in this climate,
rarely gets well of itself.
AS fresh cold is taken the disease spreads,
getung deeper and deeper creeping along
the mucous membranes from nose to throat,
from throat to windpipe, from windDipe to
lung cells.
The mucous membranes all connect. one
Win WIN another Hence It is easy to spread
same membrane. This is why catarrh in the
head soon affects the throat and finally the
stomach itself, bringing on chronic catarrh OF
of dyspepsia.
Everybody is now we'll agreed that catarr,
is blood disease and not local one. and
the attempt to cure by local applications sim
ply gives temporary relief from the purely
local symptoms without the remotest effect
in staying the progress Of the disease.
There is a new preparation recently offered
to the public that Is apparently destined to
do away with every other form of catarrh
treatment.
This new remedy is not a secret patent
medicine, but is a large, pleasant tasting tab
let composed of Bloodroot, Red Gum from
the eucalyptus tree, and other valuable and
aud seem to have remarkably beneficial
effect upon the blood and mucous mem
branes, apparently eliminating the catarrhal
poison from the whole system
These tablets, while being pleasant, con-
venient and absolutely safe to use, have
made cures in long standing cases of catarrh
sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets, and any catarrh sufferer
who has tried inhalers. lotions, ointments
salves, etc, and realized their inconvenience
and uselessness will fully appreciate the diff
ference between a mere palliative and a per
manent after giving Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets an impartial trial
All druggists sell them at so cents for full
sized package, and no matter where the ca
tarrh is located, in the head throat, lungs
stomach, Stuarts Catarrh Tablets will
surprise you with the effective result Of even
q few days use.

NINE. LEHMAN HERE
Spends IL Quiet Day in Preparation
for Tonight.

Nine. Lilli Lehman arrived in Mime
apolis yesterday and has been resting
quietly at the West preparatory to her
concert tonight at the Lyceum theater.
Her program is a most eXacting one in
Guiding a careful selection of gems of
the classical and modern songs and a
group of excerpts from Wagner's great
opera "Tristran and Isode.'
While Nine. Lehmann's supremacy as
an opera singer has somewhat over
Swallowed in fame her gifts as lieder
singer, she puts into this delightful form
of vocalism the same finished art and
splendid intelligence that have raised her
to the greatest heights in the operate
world. She does not consider operate
training necessity to the concert singer,
but believes that such training gives her
a great advantage. The training in act
ing is invaluable. This Nine. Lahmann
illustrates 1narvellously in her renditions
King" which she will sing tonight. She
actress is employed quite as much as that
of the singer in securing the thrilling
effect.
Nine. Lehmann's personality is as i'm
pressive and attractive as her vocal pow
ers and this adds UNNECESSARILY to the
pleasure of her hearing her. She is a
woman of tall, imposing figure such as
is demanded for the heroic roles of the
Wagner music drama and every line OF
her face proclaims the strength Of her
character. She employs no articles tC
conceal her yaers and her hair is piled
on her head In abundant and beautiful
gray masses that give a charming and
softening touch to her classic features.

ewing to- objections of the
& Defense.
.Verv little progress has been made in

which has been in progress for one and a
half days.

the indictment charging him with fraud
ulent presentation Of bill to public off,
GERS for payment, was allowed by the
board of county commissioners on April
IS. 1900. but it has not been shown that
the bill was paid The defense has re-
fused to admit the bill itself as evidence
that it was allowed. and A. P. Erickson,
deputy county auditor, and former County
Commissioner Charles Wilkin were on the
stand yesterday afternoon to testify re-
garding the commissioners warrant,
drawn in payment of the bill. They tes-
titled as to their signatures and that the
number on the warrant was the same as
on the bill, but had no Independent rscol-
lection of the transaction and dds mot
know that the warrant was paid OBJ
lection was made TO the introduction OF
the warrant and the objection was sus-
tanned.
Charles Nickels, deputy county treas
urer, testified regarding the manner of
conducting business in the treasurer s
office. Sometimes the treasurers checks
were made payable direct to the sheriff
and sometimes to the bank or cashier of
the bank with which the commissioner s
warrant lad been deposited.
Thomas F. Hurley, cashier of the Sc
curity bank, and oliver O. Wilson, receiv-
ing teller, identified the bank stamps on
the warrant and check and deposit slip
on which appeared the name of Phil T.

Congressional District.

Special to The Journal.
LIE Sueur, Mimi, Jan. 25.-Before a
packed house the high schools of the rival
towns of LIE Sueur and ST. Peter con-
tested last night for the championship OF
the third district. The LIE Sueur team
was composed of Miss Alice Currer and
Michael Doherty and Henry Currer. St.
Peter was represented by Minnie
Haesecke, Alice Green and Joseph John
son. The judges were E. A. Nelson of St.
Paul and A. j. Parker Of LIE Sueur.
LIE Seuer had the Affirmative and ST.
Peter the negative side of the question.
The stage was tastefully decorated, one
half with the red and white Of LIE Seuer,
the other half with the black and blue
of st. Peter Nothing had been left un-
done by LIE Sueur for making the evening
pleasant one for the audience and the
visiting delegation. About sixty from ST.
Peter were present to cheer their team
to victory. Although it did well, it was
no match for the exceptionally strong
team Of LIE Sueur. The decision was

Suit Of G. o. Seymour Against West
ern Union.

Suit of G. o. Seymour Against West
ern Union.
A suit which may determine the duty
of telegraph companies toward their pat
rons is being heard by Judge Bum, of st.
Paul. G. O. Seymour seeks to recover
damages from the Western Union tele-
graph company for loss alleged to have
been sustained by him through the failure
of the company to transmit and deliver a
telegram within a reasonable time. He
says he telegraphed from ST.. Paul his
acceptance of Two weeks engagement at
Detroit and Syracuse, paying twice the
regular tariff in order to insure immedi-
ate delivery The message was filed at
11:20, and, he says, should have been de-
livered in Chicago before 1 o'clock, but
was not delivered until 4:30, in conse-
quence of which he lost an engagement
worth $3.50.
The company says that Seymour paid
only the usual rates, that the message was
not filed until 1880 and not paid for I'M
til about 3 o'clock but was delivered
prior to $3.50. The company takes the
ground that it is not liable for more than
the cost of the message unless it's i'm
portance is disclosed to the company.

OWATONNA WON
Debate With Austin High Attracted
an Immense Audience. 49,

Special to The Journal.
OWatonna, Mimi, Jan. 25.-The Ovation
ma team Of debaters, consisting of Miss
Leona Ostrander and John Quinn and
Frank Chambers, were awarded the deci-
+ sion over the Austin team in the first dis
trict contest Of the Minnesota High
School Debating League which took place
IN the Metropolitan opera-house in this
city last evening. .,.- .. =:
The large auditorium was packed until
standing room only was to be had. A
large delegation from Austin arrived on
the afternoon train to support their cham
p1ons and great interest in the debate was
| shown by Owatonna people, many of whom
were unable to gain entrance to the opera
house. ....
The question debated was, "Resolved
That capital punishment should be abol-
ished,' Austin maintaining the affirma-
tive and Owatonna the negative side.
Cecil Freeman of the Austin debaters
opened the argument for the affirmative
John Quinn was the first speaker for, the
negative and his remarks were forciblt
and showed he had given the subject much
| study and had it we'll in hand The nex1
speaker, Robert Carter of Austin, ad
vanced his points in an effective manner
Miss Leona Ostrander, Owatonna, was
next heard in a scholarly argument, il
which she did much toward gaining the
| favorable opinion of the judges. The ar
| guments were closed in Well-delivere(
| speeches by Gordon Christie of Austin
| and Frank Chambers of Owatonna fo
| their respective sides.
! Miss Ostrander, Owatonna, began tn,
rebuttal with q fine impromptu talk. Ceci
| Freeman came first for the Austin re
buttal and others took their turn witt
| logical statements and witty remark
| tending to detract from the points mad
I by their opponents.
The Austin debaters, even though de
| feated by the Owatonna team, deserves
great credit for their efforts, whic]
| proved them to be debaters Of more thai
average skill and ability.
| The judges of the contest, Professor
Edgar George of Northfeld and John Ed
mund of Claremont and Rev. D. F
Thompson of Waseca, repaired to an ante
! room to make their decision. During tn
intermission chorus of high school stu
dents sang selection. The decision wa
then announced by Superintendent Georg
Of Northfeld, who stepped to the stag
and said: Ladies and gentlemen-Th
judges have awarded the decision in thi
debate to Owatonna." From his deliver
it could be taken that no comment wa
called for, inasmuch as the Owatonn
team had clearly outclassed it's op
ponents.
The audience loudly applauded and til
schools were given with vim.

BOTH LEGS BROKEN

Special to The Journal.
Sioux City, Iowa, Jan. 25.-Fate seems
vindictive with the Maloney family. A
month ago Patrick Maloney was killed,
by blow from the fist of Frank Cain.
Yesterday afternoon his brother, Tim
Maloney, jumped from the North Western
bridge across the Floyd river, and broke
both legs. He may die. 1t is supposed
he jumped to avoid being run over by
an approaching train, although the sui
eide theory is held by some.
