Pool selling Not Needed.

A. q = = .aNl
The decision Of the directors Of sne
Dickinson county fair association to
cut out pool selling is most com
mendable one and will meet with ap-
proval with people generally
Nor will it hurt the fair. The edi-
tor OF the Horseman says OF this
plans winnings
'The experiment Of holding a meet /,
ing at which poolselling was NOT
allowed was at Cleveland shown 70 DC
decided success, and while a few
followers Of racing were somewhat
disgruntled at not having an 'OpPor-
tunity Of loosing their money, tne
vast majority Of the spectators were
perfectly satisfied. The fact that the
attendance varied from four to seven
thousand throughout the week speaks
eloquently for the popularity VI 'a'
sport and It's hold on the people In
Cleveland and Its environs. Never
have seen cleaner racing nor attend
cd meeting more free from scandal
and while one or two drivers did not
annear In he able to see The necessity
Of making strenuous efforts at the
finish, the races were won In most
instances by the best horses OF the
time they were decided"

The Geary county Republicans
held convention Saturday and the
Capital says their resolutions were
very weak on the railroad ques-
ton and did not heartily favor a
square deal. This is what was
adopted: "As to railroads and other
corporations, we are in favor Of regu-
Iations that regulate, and demand
that transportation charges, both
freight and passenger, be reduced to
a schedule that is just and equal"
The Capitals idea then must be to
make rates unjust and unequal.

states that the members OF the band
are in good health and enjoying the
trip, although he confesses that the
salaries have not all been paid up. His
optimism, however, is not corroborated

visors, yesterday afternoon:
COHEN DEAD BROKE.
Hastings, Nebraska, Sept. 80, 1906.
MIR. G.. w. Smith, Chairman of Board
of Supervisors.
Dear Sir: Mr.. r. w. Aylett is go
ing home and will present this Letter
to you.
You have misunderstood my tele-
gram and done the Hawaiian band an
injustice by ordering us to Stay with
Cohen
"I. SOHtll utdu he Cdn l
take the band home; he has no reserve
fund. We live merely from hand to
mouth. We are travelling around the
country aimlessly to make board and
lodging.
I'VE want to go home, as our con-
tract has expired today. You have or
dered us four months to be with Cohen
The time is up.
Cohen hasn't paid salaries for the
last two months, and somebody not
even for four months, except little
spending money.
THE boys are hard UP and they're
very anxious about their families in
Honolulu as they have not received
any money for two months.
Cohen owes me personally about
$1,000, including the advances I have
paid to the boys
Il haven't received any salary.
Now, Mr.. Smith, you're connected
with the Supervisors. the Chamber of
Commerce. the Merchants Association
and the Promotion Committee, and a
most respected citizen of Honolulu, and
you know the band. 1t would not take
long to collect the money for our home
trip, and, mind you, we have taken the
trip for the benefit of the whole COM
munity to promote Hawaii, and espe>
cially Honolulu. We have worked hard
for four months and now we are
stranded through mismanagement, no
fault of ours, and we want to go home
and play again for Hawaii mel.
Now, we need about $500 to go from
here to the coast, and then You have
to get steamer passage from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu. You're more able to
arrange steamer passage than we are
here.
Il trust that the whole of Honolulu
will treat us fair. We have done our
best and worked for your benefit and
for all.
"All the boys send Aloha.
Address Omaha; we will get it.
Yours. with thousand thanks.

Mr.. j. n. :. Williams, assistant man

for conference with the Commissioner

methods of manufacturing denaturizei
alcohol, which is authorized by the re-

on his visit to Mr.. Yerkes by Mr.. Geo.
b. Mcclellan.
He was pleased to learn that the
| expense of supervising the manufac-
, ture of the alcohol is to be borne by
the United States government. Mr.
Williams also examined with interest
the plans of the government as to re-
! tanners for the alcohol. Some sheet
steel containers have been made, which
the Internal Revenue Commissioner in
tends to approve.
Mr.. Mcclellan has visited the Light
house Board, whose officers decided to
erect the temporary beacon at Maka-
pun without the usual delays of adj
vertising. Mr.. Mcclellan urged that
the customary red tape in the construc-
tion of lighthouse be omitted in the
work at Makapuu, but the most the
board would consent to was that the
time for advertising for bids for con-
struction should be shortened.

got about five cents on a dollar. That's
