COLONEL WooDsON HERE.
Popular Army Officer Enroute to
Command Visits Wichita Friends.

Col A E Woodson of the United
States army, is in Wichita for the first
time in two years. when he passed
through here en- route TO the Orient to
participate in the successful effort OF the
allied armies TO destroy the power of the
Boxers in China. 1t Is one Of the regrets
of Colonel Woodson's life that conditions
had so changed before the transport
which carried his regiment arrived in
China that he did not land and go to
Peking. Being a veteran soldier and a
military student for over forty years, he
wanted to see and study the foreign ar
mics and their methods and discipline
Instead of going 10 Picking, he was sent
with his regiment to the Philippines.
where he was assigned TO the important
duty of doing provost service in Luzon.
He did IL well. even though il became
necessary for MIN to hang from twenty
TO twenty-five traitors and Cut-throats
while there.
Colonel Woodson is very familiar with
the details Of civil government under
Governor Taft in the Philippines and he
sees a bright future before the country
He has u poor opinion. however. OF the
Fflipinos idea of liberty and sense OF
justice, and believes that in the admins
tTation OF local home rule government the
Filipino must be watched closely.
Colonel Woodson is enthusiastic in his
praise OF the japanese army ana people.
He says they have made marvellous
strides since the FIRE OF their ambition
10 become modern and up-to-date IN civ
ilization was kindled only a generation
ago. The japanese soldiers. he ascer-
tains from brother officers who served
in China made a remarkably brilliant
record in that country. Regarding the
progress made by the japanese in civil
government he cited the instance Of the
inspection Of his transport in a japanese
port The japanese sanitary inspectors
came aboard and made the most thor
oush examination Of the ship and its pas
senEers. on a scientific basis. Il was his

SIMPLY BREATHE 1T,
A Few Minutes Use Of Hyomei Four
Times Day Cures Catarrh.

The pleaSanteSt. most convenient and
the only scientific method for the treat
ment and cure of catarrh is Hyomei
Simply put twenty drops of Hyomei in
the inhaler that comes with every pack
age and then breathe it for a few min
uteS four times a day.
1t seems remarkable that so simple
way for treating catarrh will effect
cure. but the most important discoveries
of science have always been the simplest.
BY breathing Hyomei in this way every
particle of air that enters the air pas
sages of the throat and head goes into
the lungs. is charged with healing bal
sam that kills the germs and bacilli Of
catarrh and soothes and allays all irri-
tation.
The first days use of Hyomei will show
a decided improvement and in a short
time there will be no further trouble
from catarrh. Its action is rapid ard
lasting.
You take no risk in buying Hyomei.
A complete outfit costs sl.00 and if after
using YOU can say that il has not helped
you your druggist will return your money.
What other treat ment for catarrh is sold
under d guarantee like this? None other
has sufficient merit.

COM RACTS MADE
TO CARRY SUGAR

Tbs American Hawaiian Steamship
Co. has recently made an agreement by
which It's ships will carry Hawaiian
sugar around the Horn for at least
two years to come. The agreement
was signed in New York just a short
time ago by representatives of the
planters and the steamship agents.
Under the new contract the Ameri-
can-Hawaiian freighters will handle all
the sugar that can be carried with the
tonnage at the disposal of the island
trade. The freighters will take about
100000 tons of sugar around the Horn
next year and the planters are now
chartering sailing vessels to take the
balance.
All of the sugar agents are included
In the two years contract. as follows:
II. Hackfeld e. Co., r. II. Davies & Co.,
Alexander & Baldwin c. Brewer &
Co., Castle &c Cooke. F. a. Schaefer C
Waterhouse Trust Co.
The contract calls for the handling
of the crops of 1904 and 1905, the plan
tiers agreeing to furnish sugar for as
many steamers as the American-H a-
waiian Steamship can place in these
waters. 1t is estimated that 105, 900
tons of sugar will be handled by the
freighters during the season of 1904.
The total balance of the crop, nearly
100000 tons, will be handled by the
sailing fleet excepting about $4,000 tons
which will be shipped direct to San
Francisco by freishters. The sugar
ag tnts are now chartering sailing YES
sells to handle the remainder of the
crop.
The first of the freighters to take
part of the new crop will probably be
the Hawaiian which is due to arrive in
December.

BIG LINERS WILL
MAKE SHORT STAY

The two big Pacific Mail steamers
have been given orders to waste no
more time in Honolulu. Hereafter
they Will leave on the same day that
they arrive in port, unless detained
in working the cargo. Heretofore both
the Korea and Siberia have been LAYING
over at Honolulu from twenty-four to
thirty hours but this has all been
changed by a recent order from Supt.
Schwerin.
The Korea which was the last of the
Pacific Mail liners to pass through
here, arrived in port early in the morn
ing and departed again for the Orient
at $50 o'clock the same afternoon.
The same schedule will be followed
hereafter, both by the Korea and ST.
IBERIA. None of the other Pacific Mail,
Oriental & Occidental and Togo Kisen
kaisha boats stay in port longer than
is necessary to take on coal and get
grants. The Korea and Siberia are
running on a siX-day schedule from the
coast and it will be maintained in the
future, the steamer arriving from San
Francisco on the morning of the sched-
uled day.
There is a divided opinion as to how
The new order will affect Honolulu BY |
some it is claimed that the shortening |
IF the length of stay in this port, will |
work against the interests of the city. .
Another view, shared by many is that
he new order will have, the effect of
tourists who want to see
he Islands to stop over between boats.
With the steamer in port thirty hours,
passengers may get the idea that they
lave seen all there is to see, and con-
equently not stop over.
