BUCHLY RECITAL
PROMISES MUCH

There are still many good seats I'M
sold for the Buchly violin recital to-
morrow night at Bishop Hall, and those
who have not secured seats for the
evening should do so without delay. A
concert SO attractive as this one prom
ises to be should be more than merely
well attended, should draw a full
house. Honolulu people have a world
wide reputation for their apprecia tion
of good music. which they have shown
on many occasions by attending con-
certs at short notice and at inconve-
nient hours. The Buchly recital will
be very meritorious one and should
be encouraged by a big demand for
seats. The box plan is open this morn
ing at Wall, Nichols Co. IS new Fort
street store where reserved seats may
be procured.
Besides a plendid program by Mr.
Buchly, Mrs Mackall will sing a num-
Der of standard songs which have prob
ably never been sung in this city be-
fore, and Mrs L. Tenney Peck will add
very materially TO the artistic success
Of the recital by her superior piano
accompaniment. Mr. Buchly has been
for months over his program
and will be heard to much greater ad-
than ever before.

CAMPAIGN CRAFTERS
AFTER THEIR HARVEST

The campaign CRATER is getting in
his fine work with a vengeance. On
every hand Is heard the plant of
the stricken candidate As the days
go by the opportunities of the CRATER
increase in frequency and virility, and
the result is that already not few
candidates who are suffering their polit-
zeal novitiate are heartily sorry that
they were honored at the convention
1t is impossible to accurately number
the campaign grafters but there must
be two or three hundred operating in
this fair city at present. Up to the
time of the conventions the majority
Of them were earning frugal but hon

Young Woman Brutally Assaulted by
Members of Artillery.

Denver, Colo. Aug. 21.-A special
from Larami, Wyo., tonight says:
While every effort has been made by
the authorities at Camp Emmett
Crawford, the military manoeuvre
ground, to keep the facts secret, 1t
transpired to-day that on last Sunday
members Of an artillery battery as
saulted young woman, leaving her
bruised and unconscious on the
ground. According to the story a
non-commissioned officer of the Twen-
ty-first regiment was escorting the
young woman when the pair were at
tackled by 80 men of the artillery
battery. The officer was beaten into
insensibility with gun, and the un-
fortunate young woman was dragged
to an Isolated spot and mistreated.
After lying half dead for hours the
victim of the outrage revived, crawled
to house" some distance away and
told her story. Twenty-siX men al
Deged to have been implicated in the
outrage are under arrest and are
chained together in the camp prison.
They are under constant guard to
prevent lynching, as sentiment in the
camp is strong against them, Six OF
the alleged assailants escaped, but
three Of them were apprehended at
Rawlins to-day. The other three are
still at large.
