ANOTHER MAJOR
IS COMING HERE

Major G. II. McKinstry of the United
States Army Engineers is expected by
the next transport to look into the
dredger controversy. 1t is not known
whether he is coming in place of Major
Biddle or as well as Major Biddle.
Major McKinstry was here last
March, and went all over the Islands
studying the lighthouse situation. He
is the engineer for the Lighthouse
Board for the Twelfth Lighthouse Dis
trict, and all matters of lighthouse con-
struction in this district go through his
hands. While he was here last March
he said that he intended to acquaint
himself, as far as he could, with the
fortifcation for Oahu, although, it was
something with which he had nothing
to do.
Just why he should be sent in con-
nection with the harbor dredging con-
troversy is not known unless some one
is wanted to investigate the matter
who is not directly connected with it.

kidney trouble, and seeing Doan's
Backache Kidney Pills advertised as
being good for complaints such as
mine. procured some of them at the

it was known that the matter had been
referred by correspondence to Major
Biddle.
The contract is, both big one and
an important one. While it is of the
greatest Importance that the contract
shall be completed strictly according
to the terms of the contract, it is
felt that there is no desire to impose
any unnecessary burdens or hardships
on the contractor, as there are other
contracts to be let, and if the feel
ing should be created that contractors
il be subjected to burdensome or
vexatious interpretations of contracts,
it is likely to result in a tendency for
contractors to bid higher than they
otherwise would in order to protect
themselves and additional expense to
the United States will result.
The bill for injunction against the
contractors was not fled yesterday al
though the papers were said, in the
District Attorneys Office, to have
been all prepared and to be ready for
filing. Nor was any other action TAX
en- yesterday against the contractors.

TRAGEDY Of A LEMON.

A young man was calling the other
afternoon at home in Newton and tea
was served on the piazza. The hostess
thought it would be simply delightful
to have tea where the cool breezes were
blowing, but she bargained without her
host, Several hundred came without
inyitations-they belonged to the mos.
quito family, who live on our street.
The young man suffered torments; the
mosquitoes had chosen his ankles for
their banqueting hall. 1t seemed as if
he could not stand it, An idea occur
red to him. Unobserved he slipped a
slice of lemon from his tea and in an
opportune moment rubbed it over his
ankles. How his hostess discovered
him and the embarrassment he suffered
might be made the subject for little
tragedy.-Boston Record.

ment. He was finally caught after the
police found 1t necessary to shoot him,
tnfiicting wounds in the leg, and he
was taken back to the asylum.
The murder occurred directly in
front of the main building for the
men patients at the asylum, which is
a government institution. Maloney,
so years old, lived on the place with
his family. Lightfoot, 40 years old.
has been patient at the hospital for
eight years and was regarded as of a
harmless nature. For some time he
has been serving as an assistant to
the overseer. He was given in that
capacity some of the privileges akin
to those accorded the TRUSTEES" in
criminal institutions It was Tues
day morning when Lightfoot became
suddenly violently insane. Grasping
an iron bar which was close at hand,
he struck at Maloney and the blow
landed on the overseer's head, crush
ing the skull and causing instant
death. Immediately the murderer
sought to effect his escape. Mile
Follin was in his way, and he struck
at her, also crushing her skull. She
dropped dead to the ground.
Continuing in his fight, he encoun-
tered Miss Robinson and tried to kill,
her. The aim was bad, however, and
he succeeded in inflicting only
slight scalp wound and broken arm.

AN OPPOSITE EFFECT
SUB ROSA METHOD OF TRIAL
MAKES REPORTS ALL THE
MORE SENSATIONAL.

Des Moines, Sept. 23.-Des Moines
is all aroused over attempts that have
been made in the district courts to
hold divorce cases of prominent par
ties in secret, evading the provision in
the. statutes which provides that all
divorces shall be heard in open court
Within the past three weeks three
divorces involving prominent parties
have been granted and in each case
desperate EFFORTS were made to keep
the hearings from the newspapers
with the result that the cases were
given more publicity than they would
otherwise have received.
One case at issue was that of Mrs.
S. G. Van Auken, wife of one of the
leading attorneys of the city who made
a sensational showing that her hus-
band has wealthy widow affinity
Judge Brennan absolutely refused a
secret hearing tnuogh the attroneys
demanded it. But afterwards ali pa
pers in the case were carefully hidden
Mrs. Otis Love, wife of a wealthy
broker, was next in line. Her case
was also one in which the papers were
kept secret. Judge McHenry granted
the decree.
The third was that of Esther Nc
|Gorrisk from Edward McGorrisk, a
young contractor of much social promi
nence. Judge Miller officiated at this
hearing ard again the papers disap-
peared.
Efforts were made to keep secret
the sensational alienation suit start
ed In district court by A. B. Brown, an
iron moulder, against George G..
Wrightan, an aristocratic resident of
Grand avenue, and it was several days
before the facts in the case came to

Sigourney, Ia. Sept. 23.-Lynn Beat
ty, the 4-year-old son of DR.. Dave
Beatty of Troy, Mo-, who was visiting
here with his grandmother was burn
ed to death late yesterday afternoon
in the fire which destroyed the barn
on the Phelps property. The child
met it's death in the hay now and
though his cries were heard, he could
not be rescued.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but it is thought that the child must
have lighted it. A horse in the barn
was released, by George Sallers, who
was unloading hay at an adjacent barn
but by the time he located the cries of
the child the barn was enveloped and
he could not save 1t, it taking all his
efforts to keep the frantic mother
from rushing into the flames. The
boy was burned beyond recognition.
