LECTURES ON HAWAII.

The beauties of Hawaii were describ-
ed and illustrated in lecture given by
Albert o. Hushaw at the usual Sunday
afternoon massmeeting of men at the
Young Mems Christian Association yes
terday. Mr.. Hushaw has spent several
years doing missionary work among
the Chinese in Honolulu and will soon
return to the islands. He is familiar
with conditions on all the islands of the
group and gave a graphic description
of the natives and their customs, which
was supplemented by a large number
of stereopticon views
The pictures shown included views of
some of the picturesque scenery of Ha-
wall, glimpses of Honolulu and other
cities and Illustrations of the Industrial
and social life of the people. The pic

vegetation of the country We're espe-
cially good. Views taken among the
natives and Chinese show that they
have been advancing rapidly since the
annexation of the islands to the United
States and under the influence of

although the Commercial Club could
act only as an advisory body. Then
the matter of cement sidewalks Tor
Greeley, work upon which has actu-
ally been begun at this time. That
was wholly a Commercial Club plan
and in the years to come who will
deny its benefit to the city? While
to many this piece of work will look
like bit Of reckless extravaganza.
the club has also done that which
to large extent has saved the people
the money that will be paid out for
the sidewalk.
During the past year the CONNER.
cial Club has turned down twenty
odd advertising or other gratis that
in other years would have been
worked upon the business men of the
city, who too late would have dis.
covered the utter unrellability and
lack OF value in the scheme. These
schemes would have drained the
town anywhere from $50 to $500 each,
or total of from $4,000 to s5, 900.
This is benefit in the concrete, and
should not be forgotten when the
Commercial Club is being criticised
as "The Boosters Club"

A Comparison.
Weld county was honored

Weld county was honored by the
nomination of Chas. F. Tew for con-
gress on the democratic ticket. He
will run like Kansas prairie fire
and, he will make an able Congress-
man if elected. 1t is true his op-
ponent on the republican ticket is
both popular and able man, but
the fact that Mr.. Bonynge is attor-
ney for W. G. Evans will cut consid-
cradle ice in this campaign. 1t will
be remembered that Mr.. Bonynge got
his seat by showing that there was
fraud IN the election of John f.
Shafroth. Mr.. Shafroth resigned
without contest. Mr.. Bonynpe
turned right around two years ago
and advised w. G. Evans to unseat
Charlie Ward of Boulder from the
senate. He also rendered some very
valuable advice to Mr.. Evans in the
unseating of Governor Adams.
Enough said. The truth of these
assertions will come out later

ALFONSO AND cAsron.

Our front page cartoon this week
protrays the local political situation
as Artist Naylor sees it. Seldom
has there been such state of politics
in Weld county. Both parties have
placed in the field good clean tickets
throughout, and the funny part of it
is that each party admits the
strength of the others ticket.
Usually there is some pretty poor
timber on each ticket. which the
other side is quick to take advan-
tage of. This year marks a change,
which, let US hope, may be perma-
nent.
1t is barely possible that the
Tribune's known determination to
go after rottenness in either party,
hammer and tongs, regardless of who
it hit, had something to do with the
present happy Condition.

Evans is president of the board OF
trustees of the institution.
All this family connection could
in no way injure the high character
of the educational and religious
work In which Chancellor Buchtel Is
engaged, and we dare say that Evans
has never attempted to dictate the
chancellor's system of saving souls,
or OF strapping the unrnly foot ball
player, but the moment governor
ship is in question it is Bill on the
spot to tell the governor what he
shall do. We have only the highest
regard for the scholarly attainments
of Chancellor Buchtel, but believe
he is trying to go out of his field of
usefulness.
We may be mistaken about this,
and hope we are, but so far we can
see nothing but Corporation Inter
ests" written all over the admins
tration of Governor Buchtel, should
this title ever be added to the gen.
tleman's laurels.
Alva Aadms was not our personal
choice of a democrat for governor,
believing as we do that Judge Lind
sey comes nearer standing for the
best and most independent in Colo

adopted by the democrats In which
the issues are so plainly defined, any
many with the least sense of obliga-
tion or decency in his makeup ought

HAS SAVED You MONEY.

The Commercial Club closed an
other year Of Its history last Monday
evening with the election of an en-
tirely new set of directors and
officials. The work of the club the
past year has been more than suc-
cessful, even though the organization
has considerable number of critics.
The members, practically to a man,
stand for progress, which is abso-
lutely the only antidote for retro
gression. No community can stand
absolutely still in development.
Either 1t must 60 forward or 1t will
as surely go backward. The Greeley
Commercial Club has chosen to go
forward, and 1t has done things con-
crete as we'll as abstract during the
past year.
First of all the club by its monthly
meetings and luncheons has fostered
a more cordial spirit among business
men than was ever known here up to
the time Of its coming into being.
Next, the club as body has stood
back of the city council In its expen-
diture of $3.50, 900 for new city
water supply, and the two bodies
have worked together throughout,

WE LIKE 1T.

Nothing that the Tribune has
done for long time is giving its
editor and manager more satisfaction
than its independent way of handling
this falls campaign, and the people
seem to like the change fully as we'll
as the publishers. 1t must be borne
in mind that not one line of politi-
cal matter in the Tribune this fall is
or will be paid for in cash or favors,
present or prospective. Some of the
candidates whom we have spoken
we'll of have not spent dollar with
us in years. Some do not even take
the Tribune. What is said Of them
is printed without their knowledge
or advice and If mistakes are made,
they are Of judgment only, for the
Tribune editorials this campaign
represent the real opinions of its
editors; nothing more. If they are
true that Is their excuse for being
printed. If they help or hurt can
didate, that is but an incident of the
fray. In any event what is printed
costs no candidate penny. This is
the peoples inning and the Tribune's
treat.

sucnrEL FOR GOVERNOR.

The republican party after being
without head for its state ticket
for several days last Thursday even
ing named a Methodist minister,
Chancellor Henry A. Buchtel of the
Denver University. Now, after the
first rush Of pleasure and happiness
that swept over the republicans
throughout the state over the quality
of their new candidate for governor,
many are finding themselves very
much in the position of the man who
held the sugar coated quinine pill
too long in his mouth before swal-
lowing. 1t is not sugar all the way
through. From the uninformed the
shout went up-and it was with sin
cere thanks, too-that finally man
had been found whom Bill" Evans
of Denver did not control. Since
then the sugar has sort of worn of
the pill, and inside of this coating
is found Quinine Bill, as large as
life and in his natural position of
dictator, or, at least, would be
dictator to governors and legisla-
lures. The Denver university was
founded by John G. Evans, father of
William G. Evans the present die
tator in Colorado politics. Henry
A. Buchtel has been connected with
the Denver university practically
ever since its foundation and w. G.

THEY OUGHT TO PROMISE.

The following letter was this week
sent to both candidates for the Office
of county commissioner, E. ].
Estes, republican, and Nv. T. Multi
gan, democrat:
Dear Sir: The enclosed editor
ial entitled, Make them Promise, :"
was clipped from the last issue of
the Greeley Tribune. believe it
contains nothing that any good citi.
zen should object to. Read 1t over
carefully. and if you decide that you
can consistently make the pledge
contained therein. let me hear from
you at once, and the fact will be
stated in the next issue of the Trib-
une. This paper is democratic, but
will not knowingly do an injustice
to any candidate who is honest and
favors the square deal.
Sincerely,
c. II. Wolfe,
Manager Greeley Tribune. -
The pledge they are asked to make
is as follows:
II solemnly promise that if
elected to the Office of commissioner
of Weld county l will use my influ-
ence with the other two commis-
sioners to let the contracts for print
ing, lumber and all other county
supplies to the lowest responsible
bidder, regardless of politics or
friendship, and that will work for
the square deal in my every official
act during my term of Office
Such a pledge ought not to hurt
either candidates conscience. Gen.
tlemen, will you sign it?

loupe and is claimed to be equal to
that luscious melon in flavor. This

Bullet from Gun Crashes Through the
Window of a Room Where Chill

Escape from Death

The family of Frank Awerkamp, 4SS
Occidental boulevard, were startled last
night when a bullet crashed through
the front window of their home, whiz-
zing past the head of 11-year-old Ethel
AWerkamp There are five small chill
dren in the family, and at the time the
bullet entered the house the children
were playing together The father
stated that 1t was remarkable that one
of the children was not killed, as they
were in close group and the bullet
passed directly between them.
Last night Mr.. Awerkamp reported
the matter to the police and asked that
Harry Havey, 15-year-old boy living
at First and Lake Shore avenue, be ar
rested, as the miscreant guilty OF the
act OF criminal carelessness. Aver
lzamp alleges that the boy was seen
with a gun Immediately after the bullet
had crashed through the window, and
that he only scoffed when warned that
he would be punished for the deed. The
boy's father Is in San Francisco, and
he mentioned this fact laughingly as a
retort that nothing could be done with
him.
Mr.. Awkerkamp says the boy has
been in the habit of promiscuously
shooting his rifle In the neighborhood,
and has frequently endangered lives
and destroyed property in this manner.
The police will investigate the affair
today.

FUNNY SCRAWL|NC
FOUND ON SLATE
MEDIUM INVESTIGATED BY
FRIENDS
One of President HoWe's Proteges
Gives Unsuccessful Exhibition of
Trying to Win Spirits
Confidence

Fakery in all its glory held full sway
in room 108-131 South Broadway be-
tween the hours of and IL last night
when Mrs. Stanford Johnson, an al
legged medium and slate writer, gave
what was supposed to be an exhibit
ton of her vaunted powers before six
men, several of them her intimate
friends, who were supposed to compose
committee to investigate her work
and decide whether she is a fake.
This committee was composed of f.
II. Willis, A. M. Buck, DR.. K. d. Wise,
107 North Spring street; j. T. Dit
weller, a rancher, and a Herald re-
porter, who answered to the name OF
b. Forbes.
The committee did not make a re-
port. After seeing the work which the
alleged medium did it was in no con-
dition to make a report The ordeal
was too nerve-racking. Three of those
present, one DR.. Wise, who openly ad-
mitted friendship for Mrs. Johnson,
the second, j, Il. Diteweiler, who was
introduced by Charles V. Imerson, who
acted as consul for Mrs. Johnson, and
the third. who sided in with the other
two in a half-hearted manner, did sign
paper in which they stated they
implicitly believed in Mrs. johnson s
powers and that four tiny marks
which appeared on the slate represent
GQ lliuGpcluGIl SldlS NTlllilS. IWO
others, A. M. Buck and F. H. Willis,
both claiming to be seekers after truth,
decided to sign a second report in
which they stated that they had no
cause to believe that the alleged me-
dium had anything to do with the
writing The Herald representative
who was present did not sign anything,
and in consequence gained the life
long enmity of the rest Of the bunch.
Brother Howe Indignant
The farce last night was the result
of a disagreement between ]. Webster
and Mrs. Johnson. He says she is a
fraud and faker. Furthermore, he
made the same statement to A. S.
Howe president of an organization
composed of alleged spiritualists and
answering to the name of the State
Society Of Spiritualists and of which
Mrs. Johnson is a member
President Howe did not like those
remarks. although Mr. Webster stated
he had witnesses to prove them. This
| ali happened several weeks ago, and
to cap it all, Charles V. Imerson, ex-
president of the Truth Seekers, who
stated that he wished to act as consul
for Mrs. Johnson, jumped TO his feet
and said that he, in the interest of
Mrs. Johnson, demanded an investiga-
tion % the charges which were made
against her That was what Mr.. Web
ster wanted and he at once agreed.
Then Imerson was sorry he spoke. He
could not very well back water how
