ODD FEARS SOME MEN HAVE.
Brave Persons Often Are Afraid and
Don't Know Why.

Some of the most courageous and
least superstitious men l have ever
known show the greatest fear, of tri-
fling things" said a well-known South
| side doctor to the Chicago Inter Ocean
the other day. Il am not particular
ly a brave man, but I am not a coward,
yet there is just one place in Chicago
where l an seized with terror every
time l pass. l can't explain it, and
there is no reason on earth why I
should be afraid.
Il live in a large apartment house,
and I enter 1he building at the door

thoroughly respectable, there has new

last few months l never approach
the building at night without walking
in the middle of the street, and then
thumps tremendously. l am not
afraid of any other alley in Chicago,
but I've always expected to see some-
thing CHASTITY there near my W door

going to move. l will not remain

Il have a friend, a thoroughly prac-

afraid to board a street a at a GER

some indescribable fear he has OF

town, and when we had walked as

Los Angeles Lucky Seventh.

Los Angeles, April 21.-It was nip
and tuck between Butte and Los An
geles today, but the locals finally won
out by a margin OF run.
Los Angeles was far in the lead
until the ninth inning when Butte had
a batting rally and hit the ball for
four safe ones. This resulted in two
runs, but two runs were not enough.
1t required three to tie the score and
the third one the Miners did not get.
Los Angeles made four of it's runs
in the seventh, mostly due to an err
ror.
Hard hitting was the feature OF the
game. Cannon and Gay each got a
home run and Swinaells hit for three
bases. Two-baggers were numerous.
Cannon secured two of them and Gay
and Mckevitt each got The
score: Butte, 5; Los Angeles, 6.

tack Which Will Probably
Prove Fatal.

Great Falls, April r 21.-Brigadier
General Albert c. Woodson Of Fort
Assinniboine, was stricken with paral.
ysis this morning about l o'clock
while on board passenger train No.
25, bound for this city. His mission
here was to attend the Elks' charity
ball tonight.
He is now a patient at Columbus
hospital in a very critical condition,
and sinking, with his entire left side
paralyzed, and it is feared that he
cannot survive another day.
In company with Captain Sedgwick
Rice, he left Fort Assinniboine this
morning shortly after midnight, to
catch the southbound train. The
start was made rather late and on
nearing the station the train was
sighted.
The ambulance mules were whipped
up and an exciting race was made for
the train, the party arriving at the
station just as the train was pulling
in. Captain Rice ran ahead to- ask
the conductor to hold the train, and in
the excitement General Woodson hur-
ried along carrying his baggage.
The strain and excitement was
more than the old officer could stand,
and after he had reached a seat in the
day coach he was seized with an at
tack of paralysis which affected his
entire left side.
The general was removed at once
to the sleeper. There was no physi-
clan on board the train, and Captain
Rice and the other passengers did all
i'll their power to help the sufferer
until the train reached this city, when
he was at once taken to Columbus
hospital.
General Woodson is nearly GA years
of age, and since 1861 has seen active
service in the army. In recognition OF
his age and splendid record, he was
yesterday given his commission as
brigadier-general of the United States
army and was retired.
On Thursday last he was relieved
of his duties as commander of the
post at Fort Assinniboine, after hav-
ing been in charge of the post as col
onel of the Third cavalry for the past
year. He was retired at his own re-
quest with the rank of brigadier-gen-
eral.

WdSNillSIOu, April AV.-MluIStCE
Conger reports to the state depart
ment from Pekin, under date or
March IL, that an attempt was made
in the district Of Yutien, about 100
miles west of Pekin, to reorganize the
Boxer movement, but it was promptly
suppressed by the energetic action
OF the viceroy, the famous Yuen Shin
Kai, who stood like a rock against the
Boxers in 1900. Several soldiers los:
their lives in the attenps IT, arrest
the criminals. Several are to be be-
headed and their heads exhibited
where the organization started. Mr..
Conger says only such prompt and
severe measures will prevent sim
liar organizations in other localities,
and that it is hoped and believed that
Yuen Shin Kai will continue as he
has begun. The native official report
on the uprising is as follows:
"The Tung Yungping brigade gen
eral, Liam Tang, and the district mag
istrate of Yutien, !Cheng Chin, report:
In the matter of the Boxers drilling
a, Liuhotao, in the district of Yutien,
we sent petty officers to make a thor
ough search on the 26th of the first
moon (Feb. 23). They arrested Kan
Lin Chang and other, men and women,
10 in all, who were p%racticing Boxer
arts, and now ask for orders as to
how we shall deal with them"
They Lose Their Heads.
To this reply was received as fol-
lows:
1.-The contents of the report have
been carefully noted, proclamations
have been issued repeatedly strictly
f%orbIdding any revival Of the disturb
ances of 1900, which were originated
by the Boxers, but. Kan Lin Chang
and his party, having no regard for
the law, assembled a lot of people to
form a band of Boxers and drilled
them in the dead of night. When they
were being searched for by the civil
and military officials, they dared to
resist and killed and wounded several
soldiers. Thereupon v Of them
were killed, men and women, and their
heads exposed as a warning. Ten
others, men and women, we're arrest
ed and their swords, shields, flags,
pennons, spears, charms and pledges,
all proofs of their evil designs, we're
brought to light.

and let their heads be sent to the

out, SO as to prevent further trouble.
Forward this with all haste"
The viceroy's Proclamation.
The proclamation of Viceroy Yuen
Shin Kai shows clearly the vigor Of
the measures taken by him to stamp
out the Boxer movement. He says:
Whereas, on taking charge of this
office in the middle of the 18th moon,
XVIII. year OF hwangau (January,
1901, after the trouble which the
province of Chill has experienced, GER
tain lawless bandits leagued together
to exicte the people to again bring On
calamity and excite and revive the
dying embers of sedition, it became
most urgently necessary to prepare
severe regulations and by heavv pen
alties to suppress disorder. At that
time l decided upon II regulations,
which were printed and published far
and near, giving information to all
subordinates to strictly enforce. the
IA OAX1O4U1ON0S Oil vi "A4CA liz a k00Ct0K
of record.
"For more than a year these regula-
lions have been uniformly observed
and the province has been uniformly
quiet, but, perhaps because a long
time has elapsed, some have grown
careless and have not given special at
tention, SO that they have. secretly
melted the people and caused the
remnants of evil to sprout again, thus
occasioning trouble and bringing ca
lamity upon the country people. It
becomes necessary, therefore, again
to set forth these prohibitions, which
have been printed and published for
information, admonishing all to exert
themselves to observe them and put
away evil, that they may enjoy the
blessings of widespread peace and
prosperity"
Severe Regulations.
The regulations referred to are Of
singular severity. These persons are
to be beheaded: Those dealing in
magic spells to befool the people;
those propagating evid teachings and
evil arts; those banded together to
commit violent crimes; soldiers in
sympathy with Boxer societies.
Heavy penalties and fines are to be
imposed on h~ouseholders who furnish
quarters for Boxer meetings, on Box
ers themselves and those who fail to
expose Boxers to arrest. Affairs
propagating evil teachings are to be
destroyed and a reward of 200 taels
IL offered to anyone delivering up
bound any Boxer. Smaller rewards
are offered for information on which
arrests can be made. Where Boxers
practice the magistrates are to be inn
peached.

WILL HAVE
A NEW TEAM
PLAN OF THE Pho
POSED ST. LOUIS COLLEGE
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.

The proposed new St. Louis College
Alumni Association promises to be the
largest organization of the kind in the
islands and incidentally it will put
crack baseball team into next seasons
league contest. st. Louis will un-
doubtedly have a strong nine, for it
has a large number of graduates
throughout the islands and may claim
some of the best players who are now
on other teams. The result will be
added interest in the next series of
contests.
One of the most important plans of
the new association is to send students
abroad. The organizers propose to
provide every year for supporting one
or more worthy graduates at univer-
sity. 1t is thought that there will be
something like fifteen hundred mem
bers and the organization will therefore
be able to do much in this line. one
suggestion is to offer annual scholar
ships, to be competed for by students
of the college. They would be prizes
much sought after and would tend to
improve the standard of scholarship
generally in st. Louis.
A committee is now at work on the
bylaws and constitution of the new
association, which may be called the
St. Louis Students Association, in
stead of alumni association.

TRIED TO STEAL
A BIG SAFE
ENTER RAILWAY STA
TION AT AIEA AND TRIED TO
CARRY AWAY BIG SAFE.

A bold attempt at robbery on a
wholesale was made at Aiea station
last night. No money was secured
however, although the thieves were
apparently not of a petty character,
for they wanted the whole cheese"
good enough for them.
o. Mayall the station agent at Aiea
for the Oahu Railway and Land Com
pany left the station last evening to go
to the plantation for dinner. He re-
manned several hours and about $3.50
O'Clock he returned from the plantation
to the station. When he entered the
station, he was astonished to see evil
dence of a bold attempt at robbery.
The Office safe had been moved close to
the door by some unknown parties. The
robbers had secured entrance to the
place, through the rear window. The
thieves had showed the safe over by the
door evidently intending to cart the
! safe away and break it open at their
, leisure. The home coming of Mr.
Mayall, evidently discouraged them
from further action and caused them to
seek an escape through the rear win
dow.
Few details of the robbery could be
secured in Honolulu. The affair hac
been reported to Manager Smith If the
railway company and from the officials
| of the line, the rather meagre account
of the affair was learned.

BACK
FROM HAWAII
CLOSED A DEAL TO WIDEN FRONT
STREET IN HILO TO EIGHTY
FEET

Superintendent of Public Works H.
F.. Cooper returned on the Kinau today
from a tour of the island of Hawaii,
investigating the needs of the island in
the way of public improvements. He
decided upon long list of public en-
terprises to be carried out as soon as
funds are available.
Il met many residents of all sec
tons" said the superintendent, land
discussed with them improvements of
many sorts. The start was made at
Kawaiahae and l went round and end
ed at Mahukona. AS a result of the
visit I am able to act more intelligent
ly in using the appropriations made
by the legislature"
One of the most important matters
decided upon was the widening of
Front street in Hilo to eighty feet. A
dea Twas closed with the Bishop es-
tate by which land for the widening
was secured.

COAL
CARGO ON RECORDS
DTRIGO ARRIVED WITH 1855 TONS
OF COAL FOR CASTLE AND
COOKE.

The biggest cargo of coal that has
been brought to this port since Homo
lulu became American territory, ar
rived day before yesterday on the Anne
rican ship Dirigo. She brought 45S5
tons of coal for Castle and Cooke. The
vessel was "a days making the trip.
The next largest cargo that has ever
come here since the islands were an
nexed was on the ship Erskine M,
Phelps which arrived last year with
about 1900 tons. This cargo did not
come from a foreign port however but
arrived from Norfolk. Va There would
be a pretty good sum in duty to pay
on the Dirfgo's cargo, had not there
been a rebate granted on, coal by the
last Congress.
The Dirigo will load sugar for Della
ware Breakwater for C. Brewer and
Castle e Cooke. She will take about
800 tons of sugar.
