Fairly good progress has been
made in Mississippi during the
past week with the picking of the
cotton crop, considering the I'M.
favorable weather prevailing in
many sections of the state. The
early part of the week was char
~acterized by shoTery weather and
occasionally heavy deluges, which
prevented work in the fields, but
the past four or five days have
been generally clear and cool, and
picking has been steadily under
way. There has been no improve
ment OF the outlook since last
week, and conservative estimates
are generally agreed that the yield
will be somewhat smaller than
that of last year. In some sections
there will be no top crop what
ever, and picking has almost
been finished. Portions of the
delta and several counties in the
north and northeastern part of the
state report a most discOuraging
yield. The crop continues to be
marketed as fast as it is taken
from the gins, and the reserve held
on the farms and plantations this
year promises to be smaller than
for several years. The farmers
do not anticipate a higher range
of prices, and contrary to the
usual custom, 10 cent cotton is not
being talked Of. The corn yield
is generally satisfactory, and sew
eral counties in the northern part
Of the state have such an abun.
dant yield that carload after car
load is being shipped to Othel
points.

Washington is the proper place
for the establishment Of such an
experimental house. Most Of the
people in Washington are well fed,
and the city is almost entirely
wanting in that immense, class Of
hObOes that could be induced to
enter such a boarding house as
subjects foi scientific demonstra-

almost any other city in the cOun-
try, a much larger list Of bOarders
could readily be secured, and they
would not kick on testing any

hash or even anything which was
not served on the half shell.

Executive Board OF OkOlOaa Industrial
College Before the board OF Aldermen.
The executive board Of the OkOlOna

ceived on Friday night, October 3, by
the City Board Of Aldermen. The
meeting was unique. Never before
in the history Of this city was there
such cordially shown to our race by
those In authority on q matter Of this
sort. On the arrival Of the college
board to the Mayors office an invita-
ton was sent to the door: "Come

were occupying all the chairs In the
room, but when we arrived they arose
and pronounced to rs a hearty vel

they stood. Thereupon the board
suspended the order of business to
give ear to our coming. The chair
man, Mr.. E. ]. Eel, called for our
spokesman, and Prof. w. a. Battle,
the president OF the college, stepped
forward, and in six minutes so clearly
and so impressively put the plans and
policy of the college before the Board
Of Aldermen that they asked but two
questions, which we're answered Dy
Trustees Turner and Brown. Presi-
dent Battle took about four minutes
to lay out the plans and policy Of the

were used in the most sympathetic

their help in the purchase Of the land
for the college. The next morning Z

JUDGE LITTLE

HIS TELEPHONE is TAKEN OUT
AND HE IS SUED FOR THE BACK
PAY.

Hereafter when Judge Little of Hilo
needs to use the telephone he will go to
the corner grocery or to the drug store.
This all on account of a very unjudicial
row with the Hilo Telephone Co., Ltd,
which is an un-American ms :itution.
When the Judge was a plain citizen of
the Republic he had a telephone in his
office for which the Company charged
him the usual rate. Since his elevate IN

ceiving any special attention except
from the manager who has made fire.
quent calls for settlement. These calls
for settlement have produced no cash
and now the Judge is called to the bar
of the District Court of South Hilo 20
answer unto the Telephone Company in
a plea wherein said plaintiff declares
and says that said defendant owes said
plaintiff the sum of twenty-eight dol
lars, wherefore judgment is prayed.
Suing the Judge of the Fourth Cir
cult is not the only judicial trouble
which the Telephone Company has. A
book hangs beside each instrument tell
ing subscribers how to use the thing,
and indicating that certain regulations
must be followed. The Judge, being
an American, does not have to follow
regulations and being the Judge of the
Fourth Circuit, is in the habit of hav-
ing his orders obeyed without any back
talk. When he calls up Central he
merely says, Hello, Central, give me
Roosevelt" or whomsoever he desires
to speak to, disregarding the regula-
ton that people go by number. When
Central refuses the connection the jurist
pronounces the pontifical excommunica-
ton on the whole outfit. All this is re-
ported to the management, to the end
that relations have become quite strain
ed.
Last Saturday morning Manager
Richards started for the halls where
justice is dispensed with, taking with
him a statement of account rendered
and a screw driver. Not understand
ing the gravity of his offense Mr.. Rich
ards laid before the Judge two condi-
tons precedent to a further use of the
Companys instrument. One was an
immediate payment of the old bill, and
the other was a compliance with regu-
lations. Getting no promise of the lat
ter and only a promise of the former,
the manager dextrously disconnected
the wires tucked the instrument under
his arm and stopped to call on the at
torneys of the Company on the way
back to the office. Meanwhile the work
of Americanizing the Island of Hawaii
goes merrily on.

MUTINY IN THE
SOTTH SEAS
THREE AMERICAN SAILORS RE-
PORTED TO HAVE KILLED THE
SECOND MATE. ON BRITISH SHIP.

The story of an alleged mutiny and
murder in the South Seas was cabled
from Queenstown, Australia December
and arrived here yesterday in the San
Francisco newspapers. The tragedy
occurred on the British ship Leicester
Castle on September 2 when the vessel
was about 300 miles north of Pitcairn
island. According to the statement Of
Captain Peattie of the vessel the names
of the alleged mutineers were w. A.
Hobbs of Illinois, James Turner of
Portland, Oregon and Ernest Sears of
Idaho, all Americans who were shipped
in San Francisco, the vessel having
sailed from that port July 20. The de-
tails of the crime are decidedly meager
and there are numerous points which
require explanation.
Captain Peattie says that he was
called from the cabin by Sears on the
night of September and was met by
Hobbs who pointed a revolver at Peat
tie and fired, wounding the captain over
the heart. Captain Petite says he
grappled with his assailant and during
the struggle was shot five times. Sec
ond Mate j. Dixon who went to the res
cue of the captain was shot dead by
Hobbs.
Hobbs, Turner and Sears retreated
and made a raft of some planks and
coops and taking some provisions left
the vessel. They were seen floating
past in the morning but no attempt was
made to seize them. 1t is supposed the
trio made their way to Pitcairn island.
Special interest is given the affair
here by reason of the fact that the
British cruiser Shearwater which left
here last Wednesday is to touch at
Pitcairn island January IA. The YES
sci is certain to apprised of the all
legged munity and murder by the cable
at Tanning as she reaches that port
December 10. 1t is not improbable that
the vessel may receive orders to go at
once from Tanning to Pitcairn and take
off the trio of men. The vessel is due
in Esquimalt April % and if she took
the sailors away from Pitcairn they
would probably be taken to Esquimalt
for trial 1t is limited in the Queens
town dispatch however that the cap
tain set the trio adrift. The story of
crime on their part is to be thoroughly
| investigated.

suffered from a weak heart for some
time. Mrs. Buck was not with the
party.
Minister Buck was held in high es-

that Greig is stated to be in partner

his interest would also be wanted by

1t is possible that the Bicknell hold

CHINK TOOK
PORK CHOPS
ALLEGED CHINESE BURGLAR
THOUGHT THEY WE'RE DIVINE.
POLICE ARRESTING SUSPECTS.

The police appear to be breaking up a
regularly organized gang of Chinese
burglars. The burglars have been oper-
ating during the early morning hours
and appear to direct their work against
their countrymen. Eearly Saturday
morning Deputy High Sheriff Chilling
worth and posse caught two Chinese
who We're alleged to have been in the
act of robbing a Chinese tailor shop on
Beretania street near Punchbowl.
This morning Captain Opunui caused
the arrest of two more Chinese. Cap
tain Opunui was standing on Nuuanu
street between Merchant and King. He
saw a Chinese near the gate which
leads to the rear of the California sa-
loon and the l. X. l.. restaurant. With
in few minutes another Chinese came
out of this gate, with a bundle in his
hand, and both men started away. One
of them turned Eva on King street and
the other hurried mauka on Nuuanu
street. Captain Opunui gave chase and
arrested the man going up Nuuanu
street. The latter had a package Of
cigars and meat which he claimed was
stolen from the l. X. l.. restaurant. A
bag of rice was also taken. The pri-
soner gave the name of All Wan.
The other Chinese was apprehended
err. Entrance to the restaurant was Sc
cured by cutting away a pane of glass.
Thep roprietor of the place declared
that considerable stuff in the way of
cigars and pork chops had been stolen.
