ADVERTISING HAWAII.

The scheme Of saddling upon the
Taxpayers the expsnse of advertising
the country, which failed to pass on
Tuesday, to the sorrow OF the bust
ness community, was faally passed
yesterday to their joy, although not
to their evident surprise. Bat the
surprise in store last afternoon was
by a complete scmersault OF the
Maui crew, after having been no
doubt "seen" by tbs sugar magnate
with the fine Italian hand, and this
after having passed swoop upon
the Treasury for private under
taking in money making scheme
whereby the taxpayers are to be
mulcted in neat and handsome
sum wherein thu first cost Of the
production is to be paid by the peo-
pie, aud it may probably be the only
production OF the kind that will
ever be taken in one big order.
We believe in advertising ard that
it will bs OF inca'culable benefit 10
the country, providing it is judici-
ously used By placing tie same
where the best results may be OBJ.
tanned. Bat Wa very much doubt
whether any amount Of advertising
will ccunteract the BARN already
done by these il jldicious mission
aries who saw nothing good ia the
Hawaiian, ia which it was use d to
such telling effect that it carried
annexation, and the people ard
country got it where the chicken
got the axe. Yet We see today these
self-same people applying for sue

order to help tn am out OF diem

Railroad Not Blamed.

The coroner's inquest at Talmag'

blame in regard to the death Of Mrs,
W. H. Townsend who was instantly
killed at crossing Saturday morning.
1t was proven that the usual whistle
and ringing Of the bell was done.
Mrs. Townsend was slightly deaf and
failed to hear the alarm. The first
thing the engineer saw was the horse
on the track.
Mrs. Townsend was over go years
old and enjoyed good health. The
grief stricken husband and children
have the sincere sympathy Of all.
Funeral services were held Monday,

No Ducks Here This Year.

Abilene sportmen have been very
much dissatisfied with the way Ii
which the ducks have flown north this
spring. According to the best hunt
ers, the ducks have not come through
Kansas as they usually do. The num-
Der has been exceptionally small. so
small that there Was little pleasure In
going out and staying in q blind all
day for q half dozen or dozen birds.
One OF Lawrence's residents returned
recently from Colorado and gave itsas
his opinion that the reason why there
was so few ducks in this part Of the
country was that the lakes along the
base Of the mountains we're covered
with them. 1t may be that the ducks,
getting weary Of being shot at In
Kansas, picked out a route through
Colorado, thus hoping to avoid such
an army OF hunters. On the whole,
either the birds have shown very good
sense or nature has shown her art Of
preservation by guiding them out Of
danger.

sALINA WON GAME.
Ping Pong Contest Has New De-

In the ping pong contest Saturday
Salina won 40 out OF the so seti
played. Had our boys each played
ping pong, as Frank Parent did vic
tory would have been decidedly the
other way, he having won 10 out Of
IS sets, defeating John Eberhardt
two out Of three, putting HepPle out
one set. Giles played for over two
hours against John Eberhardt, win
ming one set from him. Rexroat did
more than well against HepPle but
the "new development Mrs. J. 3.
Powers, was more than match for
him. This lady made the sixth
"man," and was as good at the game,
II not better, than Hepple or Eber-
hardt. With the ''new woman" in the
game, and the tables being four
inches lower than those upon which
D.
our boys were used to playing, TO-
gether with one table being painted
white, and the lights poor, it is not
so difficult to account for the decisive
victory. Chris Forney was too po-
lite to "contend hard against the
lady" But our boys took defeat
smilingly. Another winter is COM
ing, look out then Salina! Our play
ers stood in order of play, Parent,
Rexroat, Shearer, Giles, Forney, |
Broughton. Salins furnished ex-
cellent treatment to our players
and is entitled to all Of the victory,
the woman and Hepple being very
invincible. G.
