Engineering skill Of the highest order

as we were being rushed through and
past the cane fields of the Oahu plan
| tation that Hawaiis sugar planta-

is not the highest yield here-produces
about 100 tons of cane; in other words,

as it comes from the fields is the re-
sultant sugar that requires so many big
ships each year to transport it to the
mainland markets.

lightment and intellectual attainment
of it's individual citizen not in mere
personal fitness for the ordinary con-

resources of man as well enable him
to rise above the entire peculiar cir

Mrs. John A. Martin, Daughter of Ex- Com

Yesterday afternoon a few minutes
before five o'clock a most distressing
accident, by which young married
woman lost her life, took place, the
victim being Mrs. John A. Martin,
daughter of Elk County Commissioner
and Mrs. E. w Kelso
Mrs. Martin, in company with her
husband, in spring wagon TO which
was attached a young horse, were
driving to Oakland where they ex-
pected to attend services in st. Paul's
church and remain over night as the
guests of Mrs. d. NJ. Dixon, who is
Mrs. Martins sister. a short distance
toward Oakland from the John A.
Delawder house on the Mountain
Lake Park road, the horse, which was
being driven by Mr.. Martin, jumped
to one side and in doing so broke a
shaft. Mrs. Martin at once became
excited and sprang from the vehicle
to the roadway, striking upon the top
of her head which fractured her skull
at its base and produced almost in
slant death. Her husband retained
hold of the reins and succeeded in
stopping the horse a few yards be-
yond where his wife had jumped from
the wagon and going back to the spot
was Mortified to find that blood was
gushing from her mouth and nostrils
in streams and that her breath had
ceased
Quite number of gentlemen were
on the road among them being Mr..
Rudisill, Register Friend, MI. Henry
Lauer and others, who rendered all
aid possible to the lady and her
almost frantic husband.
DR.. Legge was soon upon the scene
but before he arrived death ensued
and the remains were brought to
town where they we're prepared for
burial and then taken to the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. Dixon and tomorrow
morning they will be taken to the
White Church where services will be
conducted at 2:3O o'clock by Rev.
-Westfall assisted by DR.. Scott and
Rev. j. NJ. Davis. The interment
will he made in the church cemetery.
The deceased lady leaves besides
her husband, mother and father, a
little fourmonths' old daughter who,
fortunately, had been left in charge
of Mrs. Kelso the fatal afternoon; two
sisters, Mrs Hendrickson, of DAYTON.

The other proposition which the
Democratic legal advisers are urging
in connection with the Election law
is an amendment to facilitate the
counting of the ballots. 1t is sug-
gested that the New York system of
having double set of judges and
clerks, one set to receive the ballots
and the other set to count them,
might be adopted. 1t is also stated
by the party leaders that such other
amendments to the Election law as
experience has shown to be advisable
will be passed.
As is well understood, Mr. John p.
Poe was the man who drew the PIES
ent Election law, and it is more than
probable that he will be one of the
chief trainers of the legislation upon
this subject to be presented in Janu-
airy. 1t is understood that Mr.. Poe
favors not only the amendments to
the Election law given above, but
likewise the amendment to the Con
ststution on EMBELLISHMENTS plan,
as the most feasible way, from a Dem
ocratic point of view, of meeting the
question.
