Mr. Moore moved that the Board OF

1t would appear, from what Super
visors say. that Cohen was to pay all
the expenses of the band while it was
away, also to pay the bandsmen's pas

will be seen from the record quoted,
the bands leave will expire the end of
this month
Cohen, it further appears. gave no
bond to guarantee that he would per-
fern his part of the contract
1t is the opinion of the Supervisors
who have been seen that, with the
passing of the heated period, Cohen
finds himself in the way of doing bet
ter with the band, especially with re
gard to indoor engagements, than dur
ing the former part of the tour.
Respecting the bands desire to re-

internal dissensions. or rising disaffec-
ton toward Cohen-perhaps more or
less Of both such contingencies-may be
at the bottom of the homesick mani

for the message, which is heard. is that
the evenings on the mainland, now
snappy with the breath of coming
autumn, are telling severely on the
susceptible nerves of the sub-tropicaI
natives. These first chill waves are
often more severely felt by people from
Hawaii than the steady cold of fall and
winter after brief usage to it.

GAS FROM cOCOANUTS.

Gas from cocoanuts is the latest il
has been found unsuitable for gas
making purposes. The Government,
therefore, has been experimenting in
the laboratories, and has found that a
gas of great Illuminating power may
be produced by a very simple method
from cocoanut OIL The oil is slowly
fed into retorts, which are already red
hot Here it volatilizes very rapidly,
leaving a small residue of tar. Bulk
for bulk the oil has a much greater
productiveness in gas then coal, and for
this reason it is expected that if the
supply can be made to meet the de-
mand, it will be greatly used where
cOcoanuts are abundant. - Auckland

One of the hardest rains of the

It ceased a short time. 1t began again
shortly after O'Clock and fell stead
lily until daylight, when lowering
temperature caused 1t to cease.
The rain was general. 1t fell hard
throughout western Kentucky and be-
tween Mayfeld and Fulton the bot
toms were transformed into a lake.
Between Paducah and Cairo traffic on
the Illinois Central was delayed last
night few miles from Paducah. The
rain covered the track and trains had

Every creek and outlet was convert

ume had not diminished at noon. Hol-

being large enough to carry the water
OF as fast as 1t came.
The rain softened places where
several excavations had been made,
and on a fill near the I. G. depot one
of the Palmer Transfer company's

an hour this morning. The wagon
was loaded with IA heavy pieces OF

The board OF police and fire conn
missloners will not meet to name
patrolmen and firemen until aftes
Christmas. This is announced finally,
1t is believed the names OF the oficeri
and detectives are practically decid'
ed, and few changes are expected
The principal work will be adding
new names to the roster of police
men.
The board has not made its annual
report. II is probable that the cree
ton of a fire station near BROADWAY
and Fountain avenue will be recon-
mended. This probably will be tho
only additional expense in the esti'
mates for the department except thu
nine new policemen.
