PUNISHMENT THAT
WOULD Be CRUEL
BILLY WOODS MAY SING SAD
SONGS TO THE PRISONERS AT
OAHU PRISON.

a curious complication has arisen
over at Oahu prison which, it is pos
sible, may result in habeas corpus pro
ceedings being taken in order 10 Sc
cure the release of different prisoners
there.
Turnkey Billy Woods was down
town yesterday afternoon and was
seen in a music store buying sheet
music. He purchased Alice Where
Art thou?" "Silver Threads Among
the Gold" and Let Me Kiss Him for
His Mother" and the rumor is that he
intends to sing these songs in his own
peculiar DenYer-Scotch tongue to the
unfortunates who are penned within
the cells.
If he should carry his threat into ef-
feet, there is not the slightest doubt
that there will be a general Jail de-
livery on the ground that the prisoners
have been subjected to "cruel and uu-
usual punishment"

ROCKEFELLER ON
HUNT FOR HEALTH
BAREFOOTgID HE STRIVES TO GET
MORNING DEWS.

CLEVELAND, August 16.-John D..
Rockefeller has decided to try the
Kneipp cure. After scientists and med
icine have failed TO restore bis health,
he has turned to nature for relief To-
day he took his first treatment.
1t was after dawn, when the lawn
was still wet with dew, that Mr.. Rookie
Teller was seen to come from the llitch-
en- door of his Forest Hill home and
step out upon the lawn. Around his
form he drew a bath robe and he shiv-
cred as the chill morning air swept
about his skirts and displayed two bare

Teller walked through the grass, his fig
ure resembling a restless spirit as he.
strobe back and forth and around his
iheuse.
Mr.. Rockefeller did not seem to care
who saw him. Possibly ne thought that
l'the early hour would prevent curious
| eyes from prying, but he neglected TO
Icuunt upon the mi -ETnan, the news car
rier and a few belated pedestrians, VINO
Estopped on their way to witness the
spectacle OF the wealthiest man in the
world parading upon the lawn with a
nook of firm determination upon his
face.
Although Mr.. Rockefeller was once a
Ibarefooted lad his feet had long grown
jtender by their jncasement in modern
footwear and he was heard once or
twice to murmur "Ouch' as he stepped
upon rough places. This convinced in
Iderested spectators that Mr.. Rockefeller
was not walking in his sleep, as was
suggested by a might hawk" cabman
who stopped TO witness the perform
'ance.
After half hours vigorous exercise,
Mr.. Rockefeller returned to his room.
Beads of perspiration stood out upon
his brow and his face had ruddy col
or. He appeared in excellent spirits and
seemed to enjoy the exercise.
Mr. Rockefeller's adoption of the cure
originated by the Rev. Father Kneipp
is only a part of the general scheme
which he has decided to follow in the
hope that his health may be restored to
normal condition.

The announcement that II, P. Wood,

without foundation. The meeting which

James G. Spencer, who has been for

SHERIFF HENRY
LIVES IN JAIL
HIGH SHERIFF AS WARDEN HAS
AGAIN TAKEN RESIDENCE IN
THE JAIL.

High Sheriff Henry bias taken up
his home in Oahu Prison-not by any
means as an inmate, but because he is
the warden of the prison and is sup
posed to look after it, He has moved
into his old quarters and will make
the Jail his home as before.
Before he became High Sheriff,
Henry lived at the Jail, begging warden,
but he moved away when his new
duties began. Under the law as it
now exists, the high sheriff is warden
and Henry practically has his old
| duties again. He has therefore made
his home in the Jail again.

First Circuit Territory OF Hawaii.
In Probatc-At Chambers.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-11-07

Indianapolis, Ind. Nov An
election, unique in the history of In
diana, is being held today in the little
city of Upton. to fill the offices of the
municipality. The campaign preced-
novel that the result of the experiment
is being watched with keen interest
by politicians as well as reformers.
For many years there has been a
clamor for reform in campaigns in In
diana The system of casting and
safeguarding the ballot was somewhat
improved by the Australian election
law, but the corruption of the voters
has increased to such a deplorable de-
gree that the governor in his latest
message to the legislature called at
tention to II.
The last legislature enacted a law
to punish the vote buyer as we'll as
the seller, but a similar regulation a
few years ago did not bring about a
reform, as it merely caused the par
ties to the transaction to be more care
full.
But at Upton, county seat of
nearly 1000 population, an agreement
was reached that may give the re-
formers glimpse of the ideal cleo
ton. No money except for legitimate
expenses was spent in the campaign
just closed, every candidate having
pledged his word that he would not
buy even cigar to influence a voter.
The understanding was that abso-
lutely no effort was to be made with
money to get out the vote of either
party, and according to report the
agreement is being rigidly kept. No
conveyances were employed today to
bring voters to the polls, except as
were necessary in cases OF sickness
or physical disability. The candidates
OF both parties assembled at an ap-
pointed place at o'clock this morn
ing and marched to the polling places.
When all had voted they returned to
the public square with the understand
ing that they were to keep together
until the polls close this evening. The
plan is regarded as the best test of
practical reform ever witnessed in this
state and the outcome is awaited with
much interest.

Gold From Sea Water.

Washington, Nov. Consul Mahin
writes from Nottingham. England,
that the Belgian process has been
found successful in securing gold from
sea water. The process is described
as follows A ton of sea water Is
treated with about five cubic cent?
meters of concentrated aqueous stan
nous chloride, when the gold is con-
verted into purple casslus and precip-
itated together with magnesium hy-
drate and the excess of tin, by the
subsequent addition of about a pound
of Stacked lime. From the precipitate
the gold is extracted with dilute po-
tassium cyanide solution and isolated
by any of the methods commonly used
in the cyanide process. Sea water
from the Mediterranean and English
Channel yielded no gold by this pro-
cess, whereas samples from the at
lantc furnished abundant traces.
