nolulu. where he has been inspecting
the immigrant stations at the different
ports of the Islands of Hawaii and
Maui. He says there is a large exodus
of Japanese to the mainland and that
the situation is a matter of much con-
Germ to the planters of the islands.
saying that they are loath to lose the
help they now have. and have made
monetary inducements to the coolie la
borers in order to retain them on the
plantations. His figures speak for
themselves and show that for the fiscal
year ending June 80. 1905. the number
OF emigrants from the islands almost
reached the astounding figure of 10,
900. the great bulk OF which went tC
the mainland.
"There is a remarkably large exodui
OF Japanese to the mainland, as many

SMALL FARM PROBLEM
FOR PRACTICAL SOLUTION

Editor Evening BulIatin.-I see nv
the papers that there are few people
in the Territory who are still clinging
to the idea that Congress will modify
the Exclusion Act so as to allow Chi.
nese coolies to come to Hawaii for
] the purpose of working in the fields. II
looks to me as though 1t was about
time they took a tumble to themselves
and got into line with Commissioner
+. p. Sargent, Secretary Atkinson and
others, and helped to boost along the
only practicable solution of the labor
problem.
| Secretary Atkinson I'm an interview,
shortly after his return from IN,

and we must know what lands we have
to give them. would not induce a

Frightful Accident at Van Vert.

A frightful accident occurred at Van
Vert last Saturday afternoon about
4 o'clock, which resulted in little Earl
Craft being thrown on barbed wire
fence in a runaway accident, cutting
frightful cash in his face. Mr.. G. G.
Worden was returning from the mill
north of town being accompanied by his
little son, Geo. Rogers, Ray DaVis and
Earl Craft. Another team came up
behind them and started to drive
around and frightened Mr.. Worden's
team and it ran away, running through
Main street to the railroad track when
they turned west, and as they ran close
to wire fence the boys started to jump
out. Ray Davis jumped first and escap-
ed injury, and just as Earl Craft started
to jump, the other boys caught him and
held him back and he fell on the barbed
wire and was dragged several feet,
cutting cash from the corner Of his
mouth to his hair, and SO deep that the
teeth could be counted from the outside
of his face. He was picked up by kind
hands and taken to doctors office,
where his face was dressed by Drs.
Phelps and Tallman; it required between
sixty and seventy stitches to close the
wound, and the boys face will probably
be badly SCARED. After the boys were
thrown out the team collided with tel
ephone pole and broke it square off,
the pole falling on Mr.. Worden who still
held to the lines, and although he was
considerably bruised he succeeded in
stopping the team. \

Weather Crop Bulletin.
For the week ending June 26, 100

For the week ending June 26, 1905.
Des Moines, Iowa
The week was alternately warm and
cool, with the average temperature
Slightly below normal. The rainfall
was variable, as usual at the time of
the year, but the area in which there is
now much excess of moisture is rel
atively small. There was sufficient
warmth during the week to promote
the healthy growth of corn, and in the
large part of the state good progress
has been made in the cultivation of the
crop. The early planted fields are being
plowed the third time. The stand is
generally better than was indicated by
previous reports. The crop will be laid
by about as early as in the average of
recent years.
Spring wheat is heading with gener-
ally vigorous growth of straw, and but
little evidence of rust. The oats crop
is variable, ranging from every light
and short on poor soil to excessively
heavy on richest lands. The crop is at
it's most critical stage, needing sun
shine and dry weather to make fair
yield. Barley is heading nicely with
fair prospect of crop. Glover is un-
usally heavy, except in a few localities,
and the harvest of the crop is we'll
begun. Timothy is not promising,
though heavy in few places. Potatoes
give promise of an extra yield. Apples
are reported fair in the north and very
poor at the south.

Charles N. Duff is Defendant in a
Sensational Seduction and
Breach of Promise Case.

The Mt. Ayr News of last week con-
tained the following notice of the
commencement Of an action for $4,000
damages for seduction and breach of
promise, the plaintiff being we'll
known young lady of Blockton where
MIR. Duff has been engaged in the drug
store business for several years. The
defendant is quite we'll known in Leon.
and was for many years resident of
Garden Grove:
That the sins of the fathers may
be visited upon the children will
be the conclusion that many peo-
pie will draw from the developement
in seduction case begun this week
with Blockton people as principals.
Miss Lena West Of that town has begun
suit for $4,000 damages for breach of
promise against Charles NJ. Duff,
Blockton druggist. The suit was filed
Tuesday in the clerks office at Bedford
by the young woman's attorneys, who
are Henry & Laughlin of Mt. Ayr. The
defendant has retained Flick & Flick OF
Bedford to defend him. A bastardy
case was also begun this week, Miss
West seeking to have Duff declared
the father of her unborn child. Miss
West is p years of age, and the Oldest
of the ten children of Mr.. West, a
Blockton drayman. MIR. Duff is a
young man of "a years, who has been
running drug store at that place for
several years, has been keeping COM
pany with her for three years, accord
ing to the allegations in the plaintiffs
petition, and about two years ago made
her a promise of marriage. 1t was un-
der this promise, so the plaintiff states,
that she was induced to surrender her
virtue. Surprise may be felt by some
people at the large sum asked Of SO
young man, but it is stated that Mr..
Duff is amply good for a judgment of the
amount asked, as within the past two
years he fell heir to two-thirds of the
$4,000 estate of his father, DIR. Duff of
Garden Grove, whose death about two
years ago was of sensational interest.
DR.. Duff, who had drug store at
Garden Grove, was shot and instantly
killed in his store by W. H. Clark, a
farmer who lived near that town.
Clark was subsequently indicted for
murder by the Decatur county grand
jury and was tried at Leon. The trial

That New Court House.

The Lamont Patriot of last week con-
tanned the following concise statement
regarding the proposed new court house
and we ask that every farmer and tax
payersin the county read it over care
fully and note the points advanced by
Editor Lambert in favor of new court
house. He truthfully says that new
court house is not for the use of the
peopleo of the town of Leon, but is for
the use of all the people of the county.
An examination of the present old struc-
ture will convince any fair minded man
that the people of the entire county
cannot afford to jeopardize the valuable
county records which are practically
without any fire protection whatever.
There IS not vault in the building
whichis fire proof and even il they
were, not one-fourth of the public rec
ordsi could be kept in the present vaults.
We need a new court house and need it
badly, and when the proposition is sub
mitted to the voters this fall we believe
they Will vote for new court house by
an overwhelming majority.
The. 2atriot says:
with some of the talk about new court
iiouoO NJ. lJOou. IL SSCIuo W US llldC III lS
Decatur county that needs new court
house, not especially Leon. 1t is the
business of the county that is to be
done ina court house; and the one now
in use is not fit for the use to which it
is put. We do not at all agree that any
little jealoasies between rival towns Of
the county should be allowed to cut any
figure In the settlement OF this court
house question. Decatur county has
had to blush for shame long enough be-
cause she provided no suitable building
in which to transact her public business.
These little matters which arise be-
tween the towns of the county must be
settled some other way. The court
house question should be freed from
them altogether. Let us have new
court house. Justice, good business
sense, even ordinary prudence, demand
it. Everybody should lf4swn upon any
attempt to prevent it Dy tanning the
flames Of discord between rival towns.
The Patriot is not blind to the fact that
county seats sometimes get to heady;
nor to the further fact that the other
towns Of county sometimes get too
jealous. Neither fact, if 1t exists in our
county, should be permitted to rob the
whole county of what it surely needs
newecourt house.

Auditor Scott's New Hat.

The friends of Auditor Herb Scott are
having considerable fun at his expense,
all over late style hat which he re-
ceived last week which is the envy of
all the rest of the court house gang.
Some weeks ago the auditor received a
nice letter from one, M. E. Lee, of Nesta,
Minn., who wanted list of the town
ship officers of the county and some
other information, and as the informa-
tion would take day or two for the
auditor to compile, he offered to send
the auditor a fine $3.50 hat of the latest
style as payment for his services. Wis
ions of a swell new hat t1oated before
Auditor Scott and he at once sent Lee
the information asked for as we'll as the
size of his head, as he wears an extra
large hat. Well, the late style $3.50
hat arrived, nicely done up in crate
which looked like chicken coop with
big game rooster inside. and Scott
paid the express charges without a
murmur. And you ought to see the hat.
1t may be a late style hat worth 500
!, the world over, but it is certainly of a
rare old vintage, a mucky gray cady,
low crowned and looks as if it was made
to adorn member of the big Norwegian
settlement in Minnesota, for certainly
no one ever wore such looking hat in
this neck of the woods. And worst of
all it will not fit him, for when he saw
the cady his head shrunk up until the
hat is several sizes too large for him.
He carefully hid the hat in the dark re-
cesses OF the vault until night, when he
slipped up the back streets and reached
home safely without being held up by a
highwayman. But the joke got out and
a carefully forged order from some of
the boys secured the hat and it was
brought back to the court house where
it is prominently displayed as warn
ing to the other officials to beware of
the liberal gentleman from Minnesota
who wants a little information. Audi
tor Scott is also highly treasuring the
following personal letter which was
found on the inside of the hat:
'DEAR SIR:-It is with great pleasure
that send you this hat as token of
my appreciation of the favor you did
me. May it ever prove crown of
glory. Kindly acknowledge receipt,
and a few words in the form of a testi-
monial would be appreciated.
Yours truly,
M. E. LEE
