A GRAND JURY.
Barber County Will Have a New Luxury
at October Term Of Court.

Judge P. B. Gillett came down
from Kingman last Wednesday and
ordered County Clerk Wilson to
draw a Grand Jury at the time of
drawing a petit jury, for the Octo-
Der term of court. The grand jury
will be composed of IS bona fde
taxpayers and citizens of Barber
county and will be drawn from the
box In the same manner as petit
juors' are drawn. Sheriff Haun,
County Clerk Wilson, Justice of
the Peace Collins and another Jus.
tice of the peace to be selected by
the county clerk from another
township in the county, will offici-
ally draw the jury in September.
Judge Gillett's order is as follows:
In the matter of the petition for a
Grand Jury for the October term
of the District Court for Barber
county, Kansas.
To c. w. Wilson, County Clerk of
Barber County, Kansas.
You are hereby notified that a
petition for Grand Jury for the
October term of the District Court
for 1906, has been presented to me
and upon the canvass of the same |
find that it contains the names of
ISL petitioners, and that 21I of
said petitioners are resident tax
payers of Barber County, Kansas,
and qualified petitioners for a
Grand Jury and find that a Grand
Jury should be called upon said
petition.
Now therefore, this is to COM
mand you that at the time you
draw a Petit Jury for Barber Coun
ty for the October term of the Dis
trict Court, you do also draw a
Grand Jury for said term in full
compliance with the statute in such
cases made and provided, and here
of fail not. p. B. GILLErT,
Judge of the District Court.
p. S. Herewith attached you
will find the petition upon which
the Graa3 Jury is ordered and you
will file the same in your Office.
Under the law it is mandatory
on district judge to order a grand
jury when certain per cent of the
resident taxpayers in county Pc
tition it. In this county the req
uisite number is 200. The petit
tion contains ISL names and after
Judge Gillett and County Clerk
Wilson examined the tax rolls and
struck off the non-taxpayers, the
petition still contained 21I names.
Ten of the eighteen townships
are represented in the petition.

The issue in Sharon, Valley and
Hazelton, it is said, was more in
the nature of a chance to slap the
other parts of the county for voting
railroad bonds than for any benefit
that might be derived from grand
jury. 1t was argued by some of
the citizens of those townships that
since the other townships assisted
in voting railroad bonds that it
would be good plan to put up a
grand jury so as to give the county
the benefit of more taxes. Yet,
that sort of revenge does not seem
sane, inasmuch as those townships
, will have to stand their share of
the burden.
John Marshal, city attorney of
Winfield and a prohibition lawyer
of state reputation, has been in the
county at intervals year working
with the local temperance people
and it has been known that the
petitions were being circulated but
the promoters were shrewd enough
to keep the papers from falling in
to the hands of those who opposed
the movement.
The failure of the county and
state officials to enforce the prohib-
itory law is what started the move
ment, but it is not clear to us how
a grand jury will be of much as
sistance in that direction. As long
as prosecuting officials, witnesses
and petit juries are opposed to
prosecutions there will be little ac-
complished. There is but one way
to enforce the law and that is to
vote for law enforcement. Many
of those who signed the grand jury
petition voted for our present Off
cials and will vote for them again
if the opportunityfis ofHed. q

Do the people of Barber county

should talk up the county high
school proposition which will be

county high school all students in
the county may receive a college
education without paying tuition,
and after graduating may enter the
State University or other reputable
colleges without examination if
they SO desire. The tax to be lew

Note the progress that has been
made in medicine in the two dfrec-
tons following:
The Inflammation of the Bowels of
1850 is in 1900 known to be Appendix
citis.
Similarly the Kidney Trouble of 1866
is the Bright's Disease of 1900.
Here are the u. S. Census figures: In
1860 deaths due to the Kidneys were
all returned as Kidney Trouble
Bright's Disease not recognized In
1900 over nine tenths, viz, 5S,74S re-
turned as Bright's Disease-Kidney
Trouble as a cause of death nearly
disappears.
Now you know why the old time
Kidney trouble patents do not get
results. They don't reach real Kidney
disease.
You have only one thing on your
shelves that does, viz, FuIton's Renal

GOVERNOR
WILL ACT
Chamber Of Commerce
Asks Him to Take
Charge.

There was meeting of the~Trustees
of the Chamber of Commerce yester-
day morning at $50 for the purpose
of deciding upon a plan to aid the
fire sufferers at San Francisco. The
session was a hurried one as it was
called at an hour shortly before the
| time when the business of those present
would begin.
There were present Messrs. Lowrey,
Giffard, James Gordon Spencer, Spald-
ing, L. Tenney Peck, Swanzy, Gait and
Garvie. Mr.. Lowrey called the meet
ing to order and said. that in accord
he had undertaken to forward a mes
sage to San Francisco but the condi-
tons had been such that the local Of
fee would not receive it. On account
of that he had decided to call the pres
ent meeting and see what could be
done. If there We're to be relief funds
organized it would be well to have it
combined and sent through one chan
mel. He had taken the liberty of re-
questing the Acting Governor to act
might be, was properly forwarded. It
might be a better plan to call public
meeting and hear the views of others
but that was a matter that should be
discussed.
During the talk that followed there
seemed to be a majority of those en-
dorsing the suggestion that the fund
be placed in the hands of the Acting
Governor. Everyone present wanted
something done and any motion to
that effect would have had plenty of
support. Mr.. Swanzy criticised the ac-
ton of the Advertiser in giving out the
news free of charge only as Mr.. Swan
~ can do that sort of work and his
references to the tone of the editorials
in this paper brought smiles to the
faces of some of the interested men,
bers.
A motion was made by Mr.. Swanzy
seconded by Mr. Morgan requesting
Acting Governor Atkinson to open a
subscription list for the benefit of the
sufferers from the disaster in San
Francisco. In order that the donations
might go through one channel the mo-
ton carried with its instructions to the
secretary to prepare a donation of $4,000
to the fund. This motion was also car
ried after being seconded by Mr.. Nor
gan. This was followed by one to the
effect that the secretary prepare a let
ter of coincidence to be handed by Mr..
Morgan to the Chamber of Commerce
of San Francisco. Another motion car
ried authorizing the Hawaii Promotion
Committee to act as an associate re-
lief committee to forward to the Coast
for the use of the sufferers who may
be in need of supplies any packages
the public may desire to send as we'll
as letters.
The body was in session for some
time and several details We're arranged
to facilitate the work of Mr.. Morgan.
For instance he will take a letter from
Acting Governor Atkinson to the Gov
ernor of California; another will be to
the general relief committee and he
will work with that body or the Cham
Der of Commerce as the exigencies of
the case may require. Mr.. Morgan

the steamer at the wharf was not a

The Catholic Ladies' Aid Society met
yesterday and decided to send a hum
dred dollars to the sufferers. And that
is good deal for small organization
that has SO much of a local demand
on its treasury. If it should be found
necessary to increase the amount the
ladies will be equal to the task.
The sugar factors Of this city were
in great luck yesterday. 1t seems that
j. A. Fraser, at one time manager of
the Kohala, Railway on Hawaii, was
in San Francisco on business in which
E. D. Tenney was interested. Yester-
day he was anxious to get in COM
munication with him. During the
morning Manager Gaines notified Mr..
Tenney that there was gentleman at
the cable hut near the Cliff House who
wanted to speak to him and when he
visited the Gable Company's office he
learned it was Fraser. After attend
ing to the business for which he was
called Mr.. Tenney instructed Mr..
Fraser to visit the Crockett Refinery
and ascertain the extent of the dam
age. if there was any, and to draw on
Castle & Cooke for whatever the eX-
pense. He went little further and
told him not to be sparing of the ex-
pense. Crockett Refinery is owned by
the Hawaiian planters and it is among
them that the bonds are distributed.
If there is an industry on the mainland
within earshot of the boat landing in
which Hawaii is interested it is
Crockett Refinery and a matter of a
hundred or SO dollars spent in ascer-
tanning the condition of affairs there
does not count. Mr.. Tenney felt that
Fraser had his life in his hands even
when he was in the cable hut and to
go back over the ruins was a perilous
journey
The absence of news from the scene
as to the condition of the shipping is
strange If not worse. The Sonoma was
to have left there last Thursday and
she is due here next Wednesday. The
food supply, to a great extent, will
depend upon the scheduled departure
of that steamer. Even the members of
Honolulu Harbor Pilot Association No.
"a are discussing possible contingencies
and they are to meet at Harmony Hall
this morning at 8 o'clock to consider
plans for sending a donation to the
sufferers among the members of that
body 1t is not proposed by the MEM
bers of No. "a to allow any of their
brethren to want if they can help it.

COHEN BOOKED
AT ALEXANDRIA

Joe Cohen was in San Francisco on
Wednesday, intending to leave for Ho-
nolulu on the Sonoma. Mrs. Cohen
received letters from him per the Ne
braskan and America Maru, in which
he stated that all his plans for the
Hawaiian Band in the East had been
successfully laid. Khan and Erlanger
are to handle the Eastern bookings.
"A whole week had been booked for
the Alhambra, at San Francisco, but
of course those dates will now be
omitted. Arrangements have been
made to play in Los Angeles during
the Shriner convention. Little Ven
ice" a Southern California watering
resort, made an offer for the band, but
was declined.
Mr. Cohen was also to bring to Ho-
nolulu prize ring fighter named
Larkin to tackle Sullivan.

AID FOR
CHINESE
Those in Honolulu to
Send Help to the
Mainland.

| Rice and clothes for their homeless
will be forwarded by the Chinese of
Honolulu, part of the shipment, at
least. to go forward on the first steam
er for the Coast.
Yesterday subscription lists were
| opened among the local Chinese and
the leaders among them expect that a
considerable sum will be raised here
within the next few days. This will
be expended here for rice and clothing,
the ones handling the fund having
wisely concluded that the articles will
be much more acceptable under the
circumstances than would the money.
Supplies in plenty for the white popu-
lation of the distressed city will doubt
less be had for the immediate wants,
but the food to which the Chinese are
accustomed will very probably be short
and the shipment from Honolulu COR
respondingly welcome.
The lead in the movement was taken
yesterday by the enterprising Chinese
publication Sun Chung Kwok Bo, which
issued a special edition embellished by
half tones loaned by the Advertiser,
giving a description of the fate of San
Francisco and of the restitution which
must prevail among the many Chinese
in that city. The publishers announced
that the special edition was for the re-
lief fund. All the labor connected with
it, from the setting of the type to the
selling of the copies on the street, by
small Chinese boys, was done by volun-
teers and the whole proceeds are to be
turned into the fund. Another special
edition of the Sun Chung Kwock Bo,
issued and distributed in the same way.
will be on the streets today in China
town.
A meeting of Chinese was held last
night at the Fish Market, called by Y.
NJ. Bew and others to discuss the stu
alton. A number of Chinese speakers
addressed the crowd and urged a lib
eral response to the call for funds. The
fact that in the Chinatown fire here
some years ago substantial aid was at
once sent from San Francisco was re-
called by w. w Ahana, w. K Alana,
w. n. Chow and the other speakers,
and their expressed assurance that
now, when it was the turn of the Ho-
nolulu Cinnamon to offer help, every
one would be found generous was re-
ceived with applause.
1t was reported last night that in all
probability the United Chinese Society
would take up the matter and vote a
substantial sum from their treasury.
but the report could not be officially
confirmed.
