Slow Travel.

A friend, who has made the trip
over the Waukon branch on the
linked" train. sends US the following
article. The train on this branch,
though, generally makes fairly good
time, and the slowness does not hit
us very hard:
On some of the American railways
they attach passenger car to a
freight train and call it mixed 1t
isn't in the order of things that such
trains should travel very rapidly,
and sometimes there is considerable
growing among the "traffic.''
"Are we most there, CONDUCTOR"
asked nervous man for the hundreth
time. Remember my wife is ill,
and am anxious.
"We'll get there on time." replied
the conductor stolidly.
Half an hour later the nervous man
approached him again.
u guess she's dead now," said he
mournfully. "but I'd give you little
something extra if you could manage
to catch up with the funeral. Maybe
she won't be so altered but what 1
could recognize her."
The conductor scowled at him. and
the man subsidized.

hours silence. conductor. if the

The conductor shook him off, and
the man relapsed into profound
melancholy.

long pause. "I've got note coming
due in three months. Can't you fix it
up so as to rattle along little?"
"If you come near me again, I'll
knock you DOWN." shouted the con-
ductor savagely.
The nervous man regarded him
sadly. and went to his seat. Two
hours later the conductor saw him
chatting gayly and laughing heartily
with brother victim. and approached
him.
Don't feel so badly about your
wife's death?"
"Time heals all wounds, sighed
the nervous man.
"And you are not so particular
about the note?" sneered the
conductor.

HOW LOAN FUNDS
WERE EXPANDED

Governor Frear yesterday received
from Chief Clerk Manuel Cook, of the
Department of Public Works, COM
plete statement of the expenditures of
loan funds for the four years from
July /, 1908, TO June so, 1907.
The loan funds available during that
period were s2,737,56s.5O. OF this
amount there was expended up 10 June
80 last, sa,4s9, 1850, leaving balance
on July l of $24s,327.s0. This was
made up of the differences between ap-
propriations for specific things and the
amount expended under such appropri-
atoms, and of unexpended balances on
continuing contracts The last Legis-
lature appropriated the unexpended
balances from particular improvements,
and there has been spent under these
appropriations, and under continuing
contracts from July l, 1907, to Sep
tember 80, 1907, s44,404.32, leaving a
balance of loan funds from the four
year period under consideration of
S203, 923.4S on October /.
This statement which represents
much detail of accounting, shows the
exact cost of each separate public i'm
provement provided for out of loan
funds, and divides the items of labor,
contract price and architect s
the amount of the appropriation and
the unexpended balance of the appro-
Driation
In this statement the cost of each
separate improvement is summary

ure made, to whom, and referring to

OPEN LETTER To
v. R. HARRINGTON

The following self-explanatory open
letter has been sent in to the Adver-
tiser for publication:
Honolulu, October %. 1907.
W. r. Harrington, of the Evening
Bulletin, the first hacker of ]. Lor
Wallach.
1t is just about a year ago that a
faring advertisement of Fire and Brim-
stone appeared in the Evening Bulle-
tin. being a man standing with a spear
representing ]. Lor Wallach, beating
down the prosecutors, l. e., the Board
of Health. The poor leper is portray
ed as being freed from their yoke. Not
emily did you publish this picture in
your paper but you printed thousands
of dodgers, which were distributed
through the streets. Large numbers
of them were carried home by school
children to their parents You were
then a member of the Board of Edu-
cation, which fact no doubt was i'm
parted from child to parent. 1t then
became question of interest to them.
For weeks afterwards it was further
advertised among Hawaiians by the
fish vendors in our market.
certain party, knowing it to be
an improper advertisement, sought the
Bulletin office and asked that it be
taken out. The reply given was: do
you think that We are in business for
our headth2" He was then forced to
go to j. Lor Wallach and the obiec-
uonable advertisement was withdrawn.
Now from that day to this the Even
ing Bulletin has taken a most bitter
and violent stand against Wallach.
You have great habit of criticising
the stand taken by the Hawaiian lead
ers- Now is it not up to you to ex-
plain your position? Can the Hawai-
ians be blamed if they doubt your
in this matter? You have
planted the seed, now We are reaping
the harvest.
You mention that the records would
show more Hawaiian consumptives than
whites. There happen to be no records
to be guided by. In the former case
they stay and die here. In the latter
case they eventually leave for other
clinics.
Now, you criticize me for raising the
race issue on Saturday evening last.

a case against me. excepting where

victed of Assault.

When Melton W. Hardee, collector, was
before Judge Mullowny in the United
States branch Of the Police Court today,
upon a charge that he assaulted Cecilia
Campbell, colored, at her residence several
days ago when he went to seize a lot of
furniture, which she had purchased upon
the installment plan, Judge Mullowny took
occasion to deliver rebuke to collectors
who forecfose upon goods when the buyer
is in arrears. The judge commented at
length upon the way many of the collectors
go into the humble homes and tear pictures
from the walls and remove the furniture
upon claims that because of non-payment
of weekly assessments have been forfeited
He then entered fine of $75 in the case
According to the testimony Hardee went
to the house in I'd street southeast, and
after gaining admittance undertook to con-
vey to waiting wagon half of the woman's
furniture. Some of the goods about to be
taken the woman stated was bought at an
ether store and when Hardee is alleged to
lave attempted to examine them she re-
s1-teG with the result, it is claimed. that he
struck her with a chair. He was placed
