There was never a bigger crowd down
TO see an island steamer off than was
present at the Inter-IsIand wharf last
evening to see the Mauna Kea and
Claudine away with their holiday
crowds. Both boats were literally pack
ed to the rails and the enthusiasm OF
the voyagers, the jostling of the crowds
on the wharf, the noise of the band
and the shouts of farewell made din
that was almost deafening at times.
The crowd was jolly and it was a
representative crowd. The folks on the
boats looked like they were out for a
lark and were going to have one at
any cost.
The Mauna Ikea had the largest
crowd she has SO far carried to Hilo,
and the population of the Rainy City
will be greatly augmented by breakfast
time today as the Mauna Kea is ex-
pected to arrive in Hilo about that
time.
The Hilo Elks have made great prep
arations for the reception of the visitors
and will expend on them the enthusiasm
they have been storing for the recep.
ton of the feet. The Mauna Kea will
leave Hilo for home tomorrow night
and be here early Monday morning.
HONOLULU LOOKOUT.
Many years ago there was a lookout
station on the crest of the hill at Kai,
muki. Here a man was stationed and
by semaphore would notify the peo-
pie in town of the approach of steam
ers or sailing vessels from around Koko
Head way. In those days it was pos
sible to see Kaimuki from the roof of
the Hawaiian News Co. on Merchant
street which was in those days the same
as a shipping exchange.
The time came for the erection of a
lookout on Diamond Head and after the
installation of Diamond Head Charlie
Peterson the town was kept informed
of the approach of vessels by the look
out who never made mistake and was
not known to ever be found asleep, He
was paid by the government and re-
membered every Christmas by the mer-
chants of town. Charlie had very
powerful telescope and could see farther
and use it better than anyone else.
Charlie died and now vessels are re-
ported when way beyond the vision of
the most powerful telescope. Even one
thousand miles is not too far for the
wireless lookout at Kahuku and it is
only a matter of time before the Dia-
mond Head lookout will be evoluted out
of business by the equipment of the
vessels of the Pacific with wireless ap
paratus.

THAT STATE FAIR.
E. b. Jewett Tells Why Wichita
Should Have 1t.

E. B. Jewett, of Wichita representa-
tive-elect the man who will lead the
fight for the state fair at Wichita, is in
Topeka today.
1T is of course admitted as a self
evident fact" said Mr.. Jewett, that
there should be a state fair in Kansas
1t is also admitted that the state fair
should logically be located at Wichita
I say logically because it can be
logically demonstrated that Wichita is
the place for it.
I'm the first place, Wichita is certain
to be the biggest town in Kansas out
side of Kansas City, Kan. 1t is sure to
be the metropolis of the state because
it has such a vast tributary country to
the south of it. Wichita also has better
train service than any other town iii
the state. Furthermore the state leg
islature has never done anything much
for wichita. 1t has no state inSt1tu-
tfons. 1t gets no big appropriations for
maintenance. The state spends half a
million dollars a year on!Its Topeka in
stitutions. and Topeka his its share.
I'VE have made no definite plans con-
cerning what we will ask the legislature
it wants 100000. Give Wichita thar
much and we will promise not to ask
for anything else for a great many
years We have a good exposition
grounds and half mile track almost in
the center of town. The property is

RAIDED 81 CLUBS.
st. Louis Police Made S32 Arrests in
a Few Hours.

ST. Louis, Mo, Nov. 23.-A war of ex-
termination of the numerous clubs
in which liquor has been sold in st.
Louis on Sundays and during the hours
when saloons were closed, was an
nounced by Chief of Police Creecy to-
day. The statement followed raids
which began and continued until early
this morning. Sixty-one clubs were
visited b-%the officers and 1872 men ar
rested in them.
All police courts in the city were
crowded today and professional bonds
men reaped a harvest.
Most of the prisoners were discharged
when arraigned. Their release was the
signal for a burst of cheering from
hundreds of men and boys.
The order was given by Governor
Folk. Several reasons have been given
for the police activity. One is that it
was caused by the killing in or near a
club of a soldier from Jefferson Bar
racks after pay day orgy in the place.

THEY WILL NOT APPEAR.
Nfuco Solvent People Agree to Have
Goods Destroyed.

The proprietors of the patent medi-
cine known as "Muco-Solvent," who
got into trouble with the pure food and
drug inspector over alleged misbrand-
ing of their product, today notified DR..
s. j. Crumbine, the United States in
spector for Kansas. that they would
not put in any appearance in the fed
eral court to fight the case against
them. They will allow the court to or
der the large consignment of Muco-
Solvent which was confiscated by the
court, to be destroyed.
The company stated that it had fig
ured that the cost of putting in an ap-
pearance, the cost of bond, and the
court costs would exceed the value of
the goods conf1scated.
Incidentally it might be mentioned
that the Muco-Solvent people have
withdrawn all their goods from the
market throughout the United States,
pending the relabelling of them to
conform to the requirements of the
law The original label claimed that
the drug was a cure for certain dis
eases such as diphtheria.

HOBSON BREAKS OUT.
Demands That Roosevelt Keep Fleet
in the Pacific.

Akron, o., Nov. 23.-Congressman
Richmond P. Hobson. who was here
today, has sent a letter to President
his orders recalling the United States
fleet from the Pacific. In his letter
he scored President Roosevelt for his
interference in the japanese troubles
in California, saying:
Our presidents have invariably re-
fused to interfere in local matters even
when foreign subjects are being assas-
sinated but in this case Mr.. President
you did it where foreign subjects were
not being harmed. If you were juStif1e1
then in calling on the people of San
Francisco to surrender you are not jus
titled in now withdrawing the fleet and
again placing them and their neighbors
on the whole coast in precisely the
same defenseless position"
1t would be a national and interna-
tional calamity to withdraw the fleet,
he says.

KANSAS CITY, KAN. MAYOR.
Speculation Over Next Incumbent of
That Stormy Office.

Kansas City, Kan, Nov. 23.-Notwith-
standing the fact that the heat of the
fall campaign in Kansas City, Kan,
has scarcely cooled, next spring poll
tics are already in the air. In April
a mayor and six members of the coun-
Gil are to be elected and there prom
ises to be much rivalry for the places.
Mayor D. E. Cornell. who is now serv-
ing his first term, is not anxious for
second term and he states that he
will not be a candidate for reelection
if there is to be a fight for the Re
publican nomination. During the two
years that he has been the city's chief
executive he has been surrounded with
a Democratic council which to a great
extent. has tied his hands.
There are several Republicans men
toned as probable candidates for the
moyora1ty nomination. Among them
are Judge John T. Sims of the police
court; William Merriam, Henry Nc
Grew and Henry F. Wulf. There is
only one candidate on the Democratic
side. John West, alderman from the
Second ward. 1t is understood that he
is to receive his party's nomination
without opposition.

LETTER FROM MRS. GUINNESS.
Case Lawyer Gets One
With Her Name Attached.

Laporte. Ind, Nov. 23.-Efforts are
being made to learn the identity of the
person who sent to Attorney Worden
today from Michigan City a letter
signed Mrs. Belle Guinness and de-
clarlng that Mrs. Guinness would be
found at a Michigan City address
given in the letter. The communica-
tion concludes as follows:
'If you attempt to have me ar
rested 1 will kill you. Come at 1890
O'Clock. Come alone. Call for Mrs.
Mcconnell"
The defense in the trial of Ray
Lamphere for the alleged murder of
Mrs. Guinness and her three children
began today the introduction of the
final bits of evidence in behalf of the
prisoner, the expectation being that
the defense would rest its case tonight.
Evidence intended to prove that an
automobile was seen to go down the
Guinness road the morning of the
burning of the home of Mrs. Guinness
and also to show that the fire had
been seen as early as 3 o'clock were
offered today. The defense contends
that the fire was started before 8
o'clock. and, that admitting that
Lamphere left the Smith house at
$3.50 as claimed by the state, he could
not possibly have fired the house.
The court adjourned until tomorrow
afternoon because of inability of DR..
Haines to get here until then. The
defense has finished its case excepting
DR.. HaineS testimony.

STATE HAD MONEY THERE.
Will Lose Nothing by Deposit of $1O.-
376 in Fort Scott Bank.

The First National bank of Fort
Scott, which failed Friday, was one of
the state depository banks, and has
$1O,376 of state money. But against
this deposit there is in the state treas
urer's vault a neat little package OF
$4,000 worth of gilt edged Kansas
municipal bonds. So Kansas isn't wor-
ried about the loss of it's $4,000.
The state will probably sell the
bonds in sufficient amount to pay the
deposit, and return the remainder to
the receiver of the bank. This is the
beauty of having your deposit in a
bank guaranteed" You don't have
to wait for the receiver to declare
dividend.

COUNTY FAIR AT GLAsCo.
Was Such a Success That Grounds
Will Be Purchased Next Year.

G1asco, Nov. 23.-The fifth annual
stock show and agricultural exhibits
of the Glasco association was a decid-
ed success. The managers claim that
while they were a little late with the
show, the displays in all departments
were first class. This year the Solo
mon valley was rich in raising grains,
and it looked as if the people were
bent on showing their stock and grains
to the multitude of visitors. Every
department presided over by the Ia
dies was exceptionally first class.
These fairs have been so successful
that the association have under ad-
visement the leasing or buying a tract
of land adjoining Glasco for the future
use of the fair and stock show and
sale association. If successful they
will erect ample buildings and put in

possibility that the electoral vote of
Missouri may be divided between Taft
and Bryan arose today when it was
discovered that one Bryan elector re-
ceived more votes than the lowest Taft
elector. Whether Bryan will be given
this vote depends upon a decision
which Governor Folk now has under
adviSement.

teenth district, failed. to defeat Diffen-
doffer, Taft elector for the same dis
trict, but he received 232 more votes
than did kiel, the second Taft elector
at large. The question that has arisen
is whether the electors are chosen by
districts.

who says he is just in his prime at the
age of II years secured the necessary

HOCH IS AMUSING.
Doesn't Know What He VIII Do in

Governor Hoch was back at his
desk today, and when asked concern

don John H. Collins from the state
penitentiary said:
''I understand that the newspapers
have taken some action in this mat
ter and of course 1 am willing, with
out knowing exactly what action that
was, to ratify it. Whatever the news
papers may do about this is all right -
OF course Governor Hoch was
speaking in a jocular way but there

tion more seriously one of these days.
