In An Awful aPIIoht.

Much excitement was created yes
terday morning on West High avenue
when a man driving stopped his bug
gy and put out on the street young
woman who, was dzaed frightfully
from drink. The girl was poorly
dressed and was in disheyeled state
and so dazed that she knew not where
she lived. The man brought her in
from the river and unloaded her, leav-
ing her in that plight.

THE SCHOOL CENSUS.
Work of Counting the Children Has
Been Begun.

According to the new law, Friday
was begun the taking of the school
census of Mahaska county.
Miss Annie Wickersham, stenogra.
pher for Shangle q Gordon, was en-
gagged for the work of taking the cen
sus in Oskaloosa. Toe salary for this
work is 2 cents a word. She is now
at the task.
The blanks for the purpose were
sent out to the sub-directors of the
county some time ago. The last al
lowance for school purposes per cap
tia was $1.27. The work OF taking the
school census should be thoroughly
and faithfully done, as the missing
of one name means the loss Of s1.27
for each instance. All persons Of the
school age should be counted whether
they go to school or not. Persons be-
tween the age of five and twenty-one
years are of school age and are to
be counted by the census taker.

POWER OF APPARATUS
AFFECTING RECENT
DEATH OF AN ENGINEER.

A divergence Of opinion has arisen as the
result of an inquiry into the kind of Jacks"
and the lifting power Of the apparatus hur-
riedly brought to the scene OF the wreck
at 9th street and Maryland avenue south
west on September II in an effort to save
the life Of Engineer Hugh Murphy, who
was pinned beneath the cab Of his loco
motive. Commissioner Mcfarland yester-
day received information from ]. r. Car,
mer, general foreman of repairs in Wash
ington Of the Pennsylvania railroad. which
he considers Of vital Importance because
1t will tend to show whether the Jacks
first brought to the scene were Of sufficient
power to raise the wreck from the dying
engineer Railroad men interested in the
inquiry have been a unit in declaring that
fourth precinct, exceeded their authority
and. in fact, prevented emergency work
which might have saved the engineers
life. because there was no necessity to do
more than simply raise the corner Of the
engine cab and thus release Murphy-and
there was no opportunity given to try the
jacks which were first at hand.
Foreman Carmer's letter gives informa-
ton. in brief, as follows: Ill
The Jacks taken to this wreck from my
inspectors equipment consisted Of one
seven-ton capacity hydraulic jack and one
hfteen-ton capacity ratchet screw Jack
THESE jacks were taken to the wreck by
trainmen, and the night foreman advises
that he knew nothing of their removal
from the car inspectors headquarters until
he was so advised by trainmen.
Out Of Order.
I've are advised that there was one
twenty and one f1fteen-ton hydraulic jack
taken to the wreck from the carpenters
department. These jacks were reported to
have been out of order and useless ana
the foreman Of carpenters informs me
that they have since been sent to the
maker for repairs.
Southern railway engine No. 1915 is
known as Pacific type, and the weight of
the engine proper is ninety-f1ve tons or
thereabout. The combined weight of en-
CINE and tender ready for service is ITO
tons. ~ :
THE capacity of jacks mentioned is their
maximum lifting capacity"

MOCK TRIAL
LADIES or BOARD THE STEAMER
BROACHED THE CARGO AND
WERE TRIED FOR IT.

on the trip down from san Fran
cisco the editors held mock trial. one
of the ladies aboard the steamer
preached the cargo and was speedily
brought to trial for it to the delight
of a dago on board who owned the
cargo in question
On the deck of the Alameda a dago
had number of boxes of prunes stored
one of the ladies Of the party picked
out two or three of the prunes and ate
them. She was arrested and brought
to trial before Warren Wilson, of the
Morning Journal, Los Angeles.
She entered a plea of not guilty
through her counsel Ray Horton of the
Los Angeles Examiner. c. f. Holland
of the Los Angeles Evening Express re-
presented the people.
The joke of the matter was in the
fact that the dago was called as a wit
ness and he testified thinking that the
whole matter was one of most serious
import. He thought all was in dead
earnest and gave his testimony ac-
cordingly, Great sport was made of
the affair by the editors. A lengthy
account of the criminal proceeding ap-
peared in the daily paper.

HAWAII AS THE KEY
TO THE PACIFIC
Continued from Page ThreeJ.

There are points in the Hawaiian
Islands that seem designed by nature
for purposes of defense.
One of them is Pearl Harbor, on the
island of Oahu, six miles from Homo
lulu.
1t is a bay of magnificent extent, in
which the entire American navy could
ride safely at anchor. Naval experts
have picked this as one of the most
promising harbors in the world.
Plans have been drawn for it's de-
Tense and equipment. 1t is proposed
to provide dry docks a coaling depot,
a hospital, marine stores station and
all the other requisites of a first-class
naval base.
Before the Hawaiian Islands were
annexed to the United States, Capt.
A. T. Mahan, the famous expert and
writer, called attention to their vast
strategic value in case of war.
TT is rarely" that so important
factor in the attack or defense of
coast line-of a sea frontier-is con-
centrated in a single position"
When the Panama canal is finished
these islands will become of even
greater strategic value. Who can tell
what has been saved to England
through her occupancy of Gibraltar,
commanding the Mediterranean, and Of
Malta guarding the western gateway
to the Suez canal?
There is no European nation but
would gladly avail itself of an oppor-
tunity to add the Hawaiian group to
it's possessions.
Lying directly in the great trade
route from British America to Austria
liza and New Zealand, these islands
would be of incalculable advantage to
England. The coming trade routes
from the Panama canal to the Orient
must pass their doors.
Like a solitary sentinel, they guard
vast and important stretch of wa
ter. 1t is of the utmost Importance,
therefore, that this sentinel should be
well armed and able to cope with all
Corners.
1t is to this task of providing proper
equipment that Uncle Sam is now
about to apply himself
