He was born at Kohals of Anglo

being still in the land OF the living

On returning home, finding his
country upset, being Hawaiian, he
naturally cast his lot with his peo

REJECTED HIS HAND.
Then Charles Rathjean Tried
to Cut It Of.

Because his hand and heart had been re-
fused by a young woman, Charles Rath-
jean of Granville decided to cut the hand
off so that he would never be tempted to
offer it to any one else He cut as far as
he could and was trying to break the
bones over a post when he was interrupted
by farmer.
ka at late hour last night He had cut
around the arm, midway between the
wrist and elbow, with a razor. he had
cut through all the flesh and muscles %
his arm and was bleeding profusely. Tenn
porary relief was given by Granville
physician and the young man was hurried
to Topeka in a buggy. He was first taken
to the police station, but as he was from
another county the police refused to have
anything to do with him and referred his
captors to the sheriff. After he had heen
booked for insa nifty at the county jail lie
hurried to Christ hospital 1t was an
nOunced by the hospital authorities at 2
O'Clock today that Rathjean was resting
easily and that It had not been necessary
to finish the amputation which he had
commenced
Since his arrival at the hospital Rathjean
has refused to say anything or give any
reasons for his wild act. and ewing to his
condition the nurses have refrained from
questioning him very much. At the po-
lice station last night, while the farmers
who brought him in were parleylng with
the officers. he said that his name was
Charley Smith
The act was that of a 1unatic and al
though he has not been violent since he

to leave the hospital
Nothing definite has been learned about
RathjeaniS family or where he lived.

GOOD WORD FOR HANNA.
State Senate Passes Very Compli-
mentary Resolution.

Lieutenant Governor Hanna has
made a popular presiding officer for
the Kansas senate. His courteous
treatment of the members has not been
more sincerely appreciated by any
than by the members of the minority
side of the house. In everything he
has given the minority members equal
courtesy and equal privileges with the
Republicans of the senate. In appreci-
alton of this the fusion senators pre-
pared and introduced the following
resolution which the senate unanimous
~ adopted:
Whereas. The Hon. D. J. Hanna,
presiding officer of the senate of the
state of Kansas, has. during the de-
alterations of the session, performed
his duties not only with view of
expediting business, but in a man
ner which has been satisfactory and
pleasing to the member of the minor
ity as we'll as to those of the majority
therefore be it
Resolved, That the senate extend to
the Honorable D. J. Hanna its thanks
for the faithful discharge of the du-
ties devOlving upon him and his
courteous treatment of the senators.
