Rebate.

Representative Frank Bixler Of
Sugar Creek, who was here attending
the grand lodge session., was up in
arms over the delay occasioned by the
failure of the knights to get their re-
bate orders for their reduced fare on
the return trip. The arrangement was
that full fare was to be paid to Can
ton, and then an order from the sec
retary would entitle each representa-
tive to one-third fare returning. Many
wanted to leave early in the day We'd
nesday but could not secure their or
ders.

BUNCH OF
y. SUNSHINE"
Vine Expresses Love for Wife No. )
Hearing Of Habeas Corpus
Case Disclosed Career.
DIVORCED HUSBAND Wants SON.

The habeas corpus hearing in the
case brought by o. ]. Vine, of Cali
fornia to secure the custody of his 12-
year-old son. Howard Vine. who has
, been living with the mother at Cairo,
this county, brought out a lot of tes-
timony Wednesday and Thursday
which was not very complimentary to
the:man from the Pacific slope.
( It developed that after leaving Stark
county FIVE years ago for California,
without giving his wife an invitation
to go with him. Vine remained out
there about year He then made ap-
plication for divorce in the western
courts. He charged his wife with de-
sertion and cruelty. 1t was Mrs. Vine
who told this story upon the witness
stand and when she repeated the
charges she showed considerable anger
that the husband who had left her
should make this charge against her.
HIS CHECKERED CAREER.
Vine has had three wives and has
hardly reached middle age. The first
one died. leaving a son. The father
and the son did not get along very
well together and there was a finan-
cial mixup in which Vines bondsmen
had to pay $500 or so of money which
the father held in trust for the son.
A large number of witnesses testified
that the wife was competent to care
for her son, while they did not think
the husband was. William Royer,
when pressed for reason for his say
ing so, told of several things he had
seen Vine do that led to the conclu-
sion He had seen him get violently
angry at little orphan boy Vine had
working for him, and he threw stones
at him in a vicious manner while
working in the field. He also cursed
and swore at the lad, who was but 10
years old.
Rev Brown gave as a reason why
he thought Vine incompetent to care
for the boy that he thought the ap-
pIication of Vine for divorce from a
woman who had never injured him
"was as unjust a thing as he ever
knew Of" Vine was careless and he
told of how he left a little girl upon
load of hay with runaway team.
The team ran away and killed the girl.
He thought the accident due wholly
to Vines carelessness.
VINE WAS NERVOUS.
There was considerable merriment
when one witness said that Vine had
told her that his present California
wife was "a bunch of sunshine"
When Mrs. Vine was placed upon
the stand the ex-husband became
nervous. He was sitting in the line
of her vision, but soon got up and
walked around behind the end of the
jury box and remained there during
the testimony. She recited their trou-
bles and the attempt of the father to
kidnap the boy. During the five years
OF his absence he had sent but about
$50 for the support of the lad. The
mothers parents and her own earn
ings had kept the boy during this
time.
The boy sat with the mother and ex-
pressed no desire to go with the faith
er. 1t was testified that he was in
constant fear lest the father should
come and take him away.

IS At AN END.
DeIeg ates Pleased With
Reception Here--ln-
stalIatlon.

The meeting of the grand lodge Of
the knights of Pythias in Canton is
a thing of the past. It was the uni
versal testimony Of the represents
tives and visiting knights that Canton
did herself proud In the entertainment
of the visitors and all went home sing
ing the praises of the hospitality and
courtesy Of Cantonians
Walter B. Richie, pastisupreme cham
cellof, and one of the most prominent
members of the order I'm the state, said
in discussing their Streatment while
here:
"This is my twenty-eighth meeting
with the grand lodge of Ohio and
want to say that Canton has extended
the greatest courtesies and done more
to make the convention pleasant than
any other city during all the years
have been attending the annual ses-
sions Of the grand lodge.
II am especially pleased with the
actions of the Masonic brethren who
threw open their lodge room to all
knights without reference to whether
they were members of their order or
not This was unprecedented, as the
Masons heretofore have been rather
exclusive. This indicates a broader
fellowship and more extensive fra
ternal feeling, and 1t was commented
upon by many of the members of our
order who were in the city.
"The courtesies extended by the ho-
tells were appreciated. They gave over
the best they had for our use and al
lowed us all the privileges possible.
Indeed the whole town was at our dis
posal, the citizens generally uniting
to make our visit a pleasant one. We
shall long remember Canton and her
kind treatment"
The sessions of the grand lodge end
ed about o'clock Wednesday evening.
1t was decided to hold the next meet
Ing at Cleveland, June 8, o.. and TO-
Springfield and Columbus were both
after the meeting. but Cleveland won
out
The following officers who had been
previously elected, were installed at
the afternoon session:
Vice chancellor, Dayton Clarke,
Dayton; prelate. w. f. Bruce, Mt Gill
cad; inner guard, James Dunn, Cleve-
land; outer guard, John Ringold, Gin
cinnati; William Kershner of Dayton
and Zach Taylor of Springfield were
chosen trustees Of the Pythian home
at Springfield.
The trolley ride to the Massillon
state hospital Wednesday afternoon
was a pleasant affair. Two large cars
we're filed with visitors. When they
arrived at the institution Superinten-
dent A. G. Eyman took charge of the
delegation and showed them over the
hospital buildings and later lunch was
served.
Thursday morning the work Of re-
moving the decorations began and the
city has. been disrobed of her brilliant
hued banners and hags. Much Of the
credit for the success of the meeting
Is due to the local committees who
have been working almost night and
day getting ready for the affair.

LABOR TROUBLES
ON BIG ISLAND

A wireless telegram was received on
Thursday by T. II. Davies & Co., from
the manager of Multi Plantation, Ha-
wall, stating that nearly all the Japa-
nese laborers on the plantation had quit
work owing to the refusal of the man
ager to discharge the head luna at
their request.
The agents here had arranged for the
transportation by the steamer Helene
on Thursday of about eighty new Jap
anese laborers recently arrived in the
islands, but on receipt of the message
it was decided to hold them over for
a period until a settlement with the
dissatisfied laborers had been effected,
as the new ones might join the others.
The matter was laid before Consul
Saito, and that official courteously Of
fered to so to Hawaii to fix things up.
Consul Saito expressed his willingness
to do this, not alone for thu company,
but to preserve harmony among the
great colony under his charge.
NJ. Saito departed in the steamer
Helene, and several influential Japa-
nese merchants, interested In the well
fare of the laborers We're present to
consult with him on the matter up 10
the departure of the steamer.

MORE RAINFALL
DURING THE YEAR

The annual report of Curtis ]. Lyons.
Territorial Meteorological, shows al
extraordinary increase in rainfall for
the past year. In nearly every district
the reported rainfall is more than
double the normal, and at some Of the
stations the rainfall is even more than
twice the normal.
The heaviest rainfall was at Lau-
pahoehoe, on Hawaii where the record
was 272 inches, as compared to 1872
inches normal.
On Oahu the heaviest rainfall was
191 inches, at Luakaha, in Nuuanu
valley 12S inches being the normal:
RAINFALL FOR THE YEAR 1902.
Figures in brackets indicate that one
or two months are missing from the
years record, but are interpolated from
adjacent stations. Where three or more
months are lacking the station is omit
ted from this list.

sons which are to be deposited in an
other box to be called. the Grand Jury
Box, and the names of fifty persons
which are to be deposited in third
box to be called the Trial Jury Box
From these two boxes the clerk is to
draw, at the direction and in the pres
ence of the Judge, names of persons to
serve as members of the Grand Jury
and of the Trial Jury panel respec-
lively.
1t will be seen from this program
that in the other circuits than the first,
the whole matter of selecting the lists
of persons to be called upon for jury
duty, the matter of drawing the jury
lists and finally the members of the
grand and trial juries, may be largely
controlled by the Circuit Judge, should
he wish to do so. That is, he appoints
the clerk of his court, he selects the
Jury Commissioners, and he supern-
tends the drawing of the jury lists and
of the members of the grand and trial
juries, with no one present but the
clerk,-his own appointee.
1t is against public policy for such an
opportunity to exist as an unprn-
cipled judge, should any of the outer
circuits ever be so unfortunate as to be
under the jurisdiction of such an officer,
would have thereby an opportunity to
corrupt the administration of justice
to the serious prejudice of the public.
1 recommend that the provisions re-
ferred TO be amended so that the Jury
Commissioners shall be appointed by a
majority of the Justices of the Supreme
Court. and that in all drawings of jury
lists and grand and trial juries, the
Sheriff of the County or other exec
utive officer shall be required to be
present.

EIGHT HOURS

Government employees will now have
to work eight hours a day, and those
who work longer than that amount
now, will have their hours cut down.
Governor Dole signed the labor bill
yesterday and the various department
heads interviewed yesterday said that
1t will be obeyed
In the most of the offices the hours
are now from eight in the morning I'M
til four in the afternoon, with an hour
for lunch. Under the new law an hour
will have to be added somewhere and
public offices will probably be kept
open in the future until five o'clock.
On the roads and bridges the en-
ployes now work nine hours n day and
their hours will be reduced,
There is provision in the law also
requiring contractors who do public
work to conform with the eight hour
law.
Anyone violating the provisions of
the law can be fined from ten TO one
hundred dollars. and each day of vio-
lation constitutes a seperate offense,
