A Courageous Congregationalist.

During the next few weeks the name
of a certain courageous and facetious
Cougregationalist minister, the Rev.
DR.. w. A. Bartlett OF Chicago, is
likely to appear With great frequency
in the newspapers of this and other
countries.
The Rev. DR.. Bartlett is a bold man.
He addressed his congregation Sunday
in satirical advocacy of a church trust,
saying among other things that it
would be a good plan for the "Stand-
ard Oil Baptists" to buy out all the
other Protestant sects and thus estab-
fish a giant religious combine. Dis
GUESSING the umo that a Standard Oil
Co. director had in mind the endow-
ment Of a national university with
500. 900, 900, the minister asked:
''Why not use the money instead to
purchase all the colleges uf the various
denominations and combine them, at
the same time combining the churches
t~hemselvesP A preacher in one of
these churches would have some pres
tige then, for he would be able to pre-
sent a card like this: The National
Christian Church of the Standard Oil
Co., presented by the Rev. John Smith,
in charge OF the church No. $780,"
Of course DIR. Bartlett was not
serious. But what he had to say will
set some very good people to thinking
about the tendency of certain latter
day contributors'to religion to make
for themselves a better place In public
estimation through the much-heralded
"moral" uses Of the 'smammon of un-
righteousness st. Louis World.

News From JonesviIIe.

JoNEsvILLE, Dec. 14.-The rain
Saturday night put the ground in
very good order for plowing and is
much help in this dry season.
The price of cotton was quite firm
last week but there was little to offer
by the farmers. Two of our farmers
nearby however had held their cot
ton for fancy price and they real
lied what they had expected, twelve
cents for their crops; they we're
Messrs. D. B. Free and w. B. Fow-
Ter. They had 115 bales. Mr..
Fowler says counting the expense of
making his cotton on the basis of an
average crop, he only realized six
cents pound for his crop. One
thing very sure, the cotton has about
all gone out of the farmers hands
and the speculating on it will be
among the mill men and the brokers,
and if the Bulls run it up or the
Bears run it down, lit will make but
little difference to those who produce
it, for they are out of it.

Mr. Horace Huron, the Musical Fun
Maker, will entertain at the Lyceum
Opera House Wednesday, May 9th,
under the auspices of the M. W. A.
Mr.. Huron comes very highly recon
mended as popular reader, humorist
and musician with readings from James
Whitcomb Riley, Mark Twain, Irwin
Russell, Paul Lawrence Dunbar and his
own original work, and musical num-
bers from the popular and classical
mnsic of the day. A pleasant and in
teresting evening is promised. Popu-
lar prices will be asked.
A farewell reception was rendered
Mr.. and Mrs NJ Moran Thursday even
ing by the members of the Royal
Neighbor lodge and their friends. The
event occurred at the Lyceum opera
house and the building was filed with
friends who desired to send pleasant
recollections with Mr.. and Mrs. Moran.
Dancing was the principle amusement
and bountious refreshments were SER
we'd. They leave many friends here
who wish them success.
There was big sensation in Lees
Vile when W. H. Brown of that place
who was expected to die, had his life
saved by DR.. Kings New Discover for
Consumption. He writes: II endured
insufferable agonies from Asthma but
your new discovery gave me immediate
relief and soon thereafter effected a
permanent cure" Similar cures OF
consumption, Pneumonia, Bronchitis
and Grip are numerous. Its the peer

Housecleaning time has arrived
again. The man goes home to dinner
and eats any old thing that has been
left over. The wife hustles around
with busting cap on her mussed hair
and the carpet shows evidence of ter
rible beating, while the furniture an
nOunces there has been hand to hand
conflict, in which it got the worst OF 1t.
Men can never see what housekeeping
is for. and the woman turns up her
nose and wanders how he knows any,
thing. A woman will take more de-
light in tearing up and putting out,
carrying in and replacing things about
a house than man gets in receiving
notice of raise in salary. And its all
right as it is. IF woman likes house
cleaning, let her do it.
Remember the liberal premium offer
we are making. There is no time like
the present. Send in your subscrlp-
tiOns at once.

ment by Horace Huron at the Lyceum

NO LAW
FOR CONTEST
SUPREME COURT THROWS THE PETITIONERS FOR A
RECOUNT OF THE ELECTION VOTE OUT OF COURT
NO LAW IN HAWAII UNDER WHICH THE COURT
CAN HAVE RECOUNT

The Supreme court this morning gave
a unanimous decision throwing out the
election contest case. The pleas to
the jurisdiction of the court are sus-
tained, in an opinion written by Chief
Justice Frear and concurred in by both
Galbraith and Perry. The court holds
that there is no law to provide for
bringing such a contest as the one filed
by c. b. Maile and others. The courts
decision will end the matter, it Is be-
lieved. The justices only took a couple
of days to arrive at unanimous deci-
sion and in the opinion of most at
torneys the issue is a clear one which
will not bear further contesting. The
syllabus of the decision is as follows
In view of Secs. 454-455 of Act 81,
Laws of 1903, (the County AcD, which
provide for contests of county elections
in general by candidates and in Circuit
Courts, such contests cannot be insti-
tuted by electors or IN the Supreme
Court.
TN Secs. 465-466 of said Act, which
makes all of the provisions of law APP
plicable to the first county election,
those words refer to provisions of law
other than those contained in that Act
itself, and not to Secs. 454-455 of that
