CREASED PILES BAD
FOR DROWNING ONES

Oil on the troubled waters of the
harbor came very near to being the
undoing of the mate of one of the
vessels now lying at her berth here,
whose name does not appear in the
records. The officer in question, some
what overcome with the malaria pre-
tentative taken aboard, failed to steer
straight course up the gangplank on
Tuesday night when returning from
town and plopped into the harbor be-
tween the vessel and the wharf. After
going as far into the water as specific
gravity demanded he foated to the top
and struck out for the nearest wharf
pile, thinking to cling to this until
help arrived. But just as often as
he clutehed at the pile just so often
his fingers slipped off it, the coating
of oil on the copper making grip i'm
possible. The mariner was forced,
therefore to swim around in circles
and shout for help, which arrived just
in time and before he gave out.

PHOTOGRAPHS FOR THE
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

While in Washington as the repre-
sentative of the Honolulu Chamber of
Commerce, H. P Wood was presented
with autographed portraits of Admiral
Dewey, General Mckenzie, and of Sec
rotary Wilson, of the New York Cham
Der of Commerce. These will be framed
and hung up in the Chambers rooms
in the Stangenwald building. Another
large photograph brought back by Mr..
Wood is that of the New York Cham
Der of Commerce building on Liberty
street.
The picture of this magnificent struc-
ture was exhibited at the meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce yesterday
and was the excuse for a number of
facetious remarks from various men,
bers. One asked President Morgan if
the building was the plan for Nor
gan's new auction rooms, while an
other ventured the guess that it was
a sketch of building for the Homo
lulu Chamber that their president was
going to present to the association. A
third humorist informed the meeting
that the picture was that of the, old
ishmarket remodeled on the plans of
the Kilohana Art League.

HOW DIPHTHERIA IS CON-
TRACTED.

One often hears the expression, my
child caught a severe cold which de-
veloped into diphtheria.' when the
truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one particularly sus-
ceptib!s to the wandering diphtheria
germ. When Chamberlain Cough
Remedy is given 1t not only cures the
cold, but greatly lessons the danger Of
diphtheria or any other germ disease
being contracted. There is no danger
in giving this remedy, as 1t contains
no opium or other harmful drug. For

CONGRESSMAN ElIerbe in a Difficulty

MARION, June 15.-A personal

MIR w Murchison of Dillon and
Congressman J E Ellerbe of

men was hurt, as they were
Immediately separated.
Congressman Ellerbe was seen
by your correspondent and
made the following statement
81 was walking up the street,
met MIR Murchison and spoke
politely to him. Mr. Murchison
said very abruptly: 81 have
heard that you have slandered
me to Mr. Wheeler in nv ab-
sence." This / said is absolutely
untrue. Mr. Murchis on then
asked me if I would face MIR
Wheeler with him. To this l
readily consented and we walk
ed across the street to where
Mr. Wheeler was standing on the
opposite sidewalk. Mr. Wheeler
admitted that had said nothing
insulting about MIR Murchison
nor anything rejecting upon
his character. He could not
recollect my exact words, he
said, but it was something about
Mr.. Murchison and the Dillon
postoffce. Before Mr.. Wheeler
could finish his statement Mr..
Murcbison cursed me and |
struck him. He attempted to
strike back but we were i'm
mediately separated"
Mr.. Ellerbe further stated that
he had never said an unkind
word against Mr.. Murchison
and could not understand why

CALEB POWERS PARDONED.
Had Been Tried Four Times Twice
Sentenced to Deaih.


FRANKFORT, KY, JUNE l3-
Gov. Wilson to-day pardoned both
Caleb Powers and Howard. Caleb
Powers was released from the jail at
Georgetown at 10 o'clock and went
at once to hotel. James B Howard
was released from the peniteatiary
4 at Frankfort this morning.
The campaign that ended III The
] defeat of Goebel "a the pols, the
struggle incident to the Legislative
contest whereby he snatched the
governorship from Taylor, his assa
ssiuation and the campaign of pro
scripuon wased by his partisanS
after his death were replete with
dramatic situations and crowded the
stage with actors who played i'm
portsnt parts. But of all the par
ticipauts, none, not even Goebel
himself, focused the public attention
more clearly than Caleb Powers,
Republican secretary of State.
Powers has been fighting with a
halter around his neck for eight
years. During all that time he has
lain largely in the power of
his political opponents. -Four
times Powers has been tried for his
life.
Howard, alleged to be the man who
actually fred the shot that killed
Goebel, was under life sentence.
Gov. Wilson in statement given
out, says that the application fol
pardon was signed by nearly 500, 00C
persons, some 100000 Kentuckians
and large proportion of Democrats
He said that he had given the cas-,
the most careful, CONSCIENTIOUS ano
thorough investigation and thought
in his power, realizing that he wonle
be criticized whatever his decision
might be.
The governor added: The murder
of SeaAtor Goebel destroyed a re-
markable life, brought deepest grief
to his family and thousands Of
friends who loved him, oyerthreW
the whole State election, DESTROYED
the peace and good feeling of tht
State for eight years, set neigbbol
against neighbor, made politics al
most war, stained the good name Of
Kentuckey and shocked the cisi
llzed world. There was and is ne
shadow of excuse or palllation fol-
this base crime. There can be n(
mercy for any one guilty of murde'
or of aiding or abettlng it. but {
more grave crime, more serious, i:
the responsibility OF deciding the
question of guilt and a more imper
ative duty of guarding against in.
justice and wrong imposed undel
pressure OF public excitement, pas
sion or prejudice.

CultiVatinq POliteneSS.

Many parents turn over the men
tai training of their children to the
public school and their religion:
training to the Sunday school, or cnt
that part out altogether aud think
they have done their full duty to
their offspring.
In he home they are sort OF
necessary nuisance, always in the
way, getting sick and having the
doctors bills to run mp and gener'
ally a grea. source of annoyance.
When such children began to "grow
up" they are daily reminded of what
task they have been and how
"devoted" to their parents they
should be. Often such children are
not "devoted' to these parents; fun
nv isn't it? But it's so all the same.
One of the greatest works for the
parent in the home after the ch I'D
has begun to 60 out into the world
is to teach it good manners. He will
need it if he Is to 60 on in the world
and live every where and at all times
Slill be so much easier for him.
Act patiently. You cannot teach
a child politeness and good manners
by storming at him. You must act
; politely yourself, and this will have
to be kept up all the time, 'Do as l
lsay do, not as 1 do," does not make
much impression on a child.
All the little courtesies that make
life easier and pleasanter are just as
necessary today as they were 100
years ago. Teach your children to be
polite at all times and under all
nces.-Greenw00d Mdeu.

In the early days we went any
distance to a dance. We usually tool
along enough cakes, pies, canned
goods and other eatables to make
good supper. The reporter has
danced in every school house almost,
from the river to the rattlesnake,
Those were times when we were all
about equally poor. or course the
town boys like Clayt and Ed Moses,
Billy Moses, Jim Hinchcliffe, Willis
Winstead, Sid Grain and Joe Fugate
being from town, had the best

In friendly manner. We imagine
that some Of the old boys would de-
ny that they ever danced in a school

or especially deny that they had
trouble because they forgot to put
back some seats in the Mitchell
school house after q dance.

Flockinu to the Guaranty


Eight national banks in Oklahoma
have announced that they will de-
nationalize and become state banks
to enable them to take advantage of
the STATE banking guaranty law. The
fcomptroller of the currency has mott
fled all national banks in Oklahoma
that they may not operate under
this law. Fifty-seven national banks
had compiled with the law. Of the
national banks that will surrender
their charters, one is at Enid, two
at Duncan, and one at Lamont.
One national bank in Oklahoma has
announced that it will organize
savings bank under the guaranty law,
thereby enjoying the prestige Of
both a national and state bank.
"An objection may be raised by
the state even to this plan" said a
banker. "The savings bank depos-
its might Re placed in the national
bank, and to that extent the state
guaranty law would be protecting the
deposits in a national bank"
This criticism, however, may be
shown to be somewhat untenable.
As the law now stands, it affords
protection to balances of state banks
maintained in banks in other states,
even in New York, and If those bankf
should fail the losses to Oklahoma
state banks would have to be met
by the state guaranty fund. The dis
tinction between the savings bank
plan Of Oklahoma national banks
and the protection given balances
held by foreign banks for state banks
is almost without difference.
