SUDDEN DEATH
De W. c. SMITH
For Years a Highly Respected
Resident of Island of
Kauai.

William Graham Smith, for many
years a highly-respected resident of
Kauai, died at the Queen s Hospital
yesterday afternoon of Serious apo
plexy, after being unconscious for
about thirty hours.
Mr.. Smith had not been in good
health for a long time, and about four
months and half ago he went to his
old home in Minneapolis. He return
ed on the Lurline. While in San
Francisco awaiting his steamer he was
picked up once or twice, unconscious
from an attack of the malady to which
he finally succumbed. He also had an
attack of it on the Lurline coming
down from the Coast. He was stop
ping at the Young Hotel awaiting a
steamer to return to Kauai. On Sun
day he was found unconscious in his
room at the hotel and was at once re-
moved to the Queen s Hospital. He
never recovered consciousness, how
ever.
Apparently he was aware of his crit
zeal condition, for he had written his
will, but it had not been executed
when the last stroke came.
Albert S. Wilcox, with whom he had
sustained the friendliest and most con-
fidential relations for many years, was
at once notified by wireless, and at
his request Mr.. Smith s father in Min
neapolis was notified by cable by z.
X. Myers, who has been Mr.. Smith s
business agent. The funeral arrange
ments will therefore await the arrival
of Mr.. Wilcox, who viii be here on
the Kinau Wednesday morning.
The body is at the undertaking es-
Establishment of H. II. Williams. An
autopsy to determine the cause of
death was made by DR.. Walters.
Mr.. Smith had been a resident of
Kauai for about twenty years. He
was at one time bookkeeper for Kealia
plantation, and later went to Hama
maulu plantation in the same capacity.
For several years past he had been
private secretary and confidential man
to Albert S. Wilcox, residing at the
Wilcox home.
He stood high in the esteem of the
community IN winch ne llNeu. ne was
chairman of the Board of Registration
for Kauai two years ago, and later
was inspector for the Board of Lii
,ense Commissioners for Kauai, chosen
to that position by reason of the uni
rersal confidence felt in his integrity. |
Of Mr. Smith s family very little is
Known even by those who have en- |
oyed his friendship. 1t is known that |
lis family resided in Minneapolis, and |
t was there that the eabled notifca
ion of his death was sent. He was
tbout forty-five years of age and I'M
married. Mr.. Smith was a Mason, |
member of Hawaiian Lodge No. 81, F.

CONFEDERATE VETERANS
 HAVE WARM SESSION.

Little Rock. Oct. 14.-Nary- ing the progrem bit, the Ark ansas Division of United Confed- crate Veterans. which opened its annual convention here yesterday at noon with Gen. James H. Ber- ey presiding, elected a command CT yesterday afternoon, instead of putting 1t off until today, as arranged tor in the program. Col. James Smith of Little Rock was the choice of the convention, after very stormy session III which number of the veterans made heated remarks, and for a few minutes the atmosphere was squally, as If the aged warriors were about to give a very realis- tic reproduction of the days of 61-65. The session was serene until the nominations were com menced upon. Col. Smith was the first candidate nominated, but Gen. Green followed quickly with the name of Jonathan kel- logg, of Little Rock; and Col. Green, of Polk county, nominat- ed Col. Asa Morgan of Camden. Then the fighting began. Accu- sation after accusation was made across the floor, and the lie was freely passed. In an effort to bring about peace, Ex-Gov. Dan w. Jones arose and placed Gen. James II. Berry in nomination. This electrified the veterans, who began to cheer for the sena- tor. Berry arose and with tears streaming down his face, begged Gov. Jones to withdraw hls name, saying he was pledged to the other candidaters not to seek the homer a third time. Govern CT Jones did as requested, and Gen. Kellogg had his name with drawn from the contest.
 Dr. ". P. George of Berryville  was elected Brigade Commander of the Third Division.

OIL BURNING ENGINES
 FOR THE FRISCO,

Engines without trailing smoke and cinders will soon be running through Fort Smith over the rails of the Frisco, and the trav- cling public will not be compell- ed to breathe the fumes of smoke and pick cinders from their eyes in travelling between Springfield and Paris, Texas.
 Work has commenced in the south side Frisco shops at Spring field to convert several locomo- tlves to oil burners to be used on the north and southbound Can- non Balls, Nos. 5 and 0, between that city and Paris. The 'shop- per" ash pans are being removed from the engines and the pans are being lined with fire brick. Four engines will be ready for the change in fuel by the latter of this month.
 It has been found that while the cost IS practically the same, the use of crude petroleum, mix ed with residum, eliminates the unpleasant features of travel and the Frisco is making the change on all divisions where 1t is prac- tical. The northern and Kansas divisions have been using the new equipment for some time.- Ft. Smith Times.

NATHAN WILLIAMS FILES
 UNUSUAL SUIT.

Nathan Williams, an attorney of Fayetteville, IS after the Wells Fargo X Go. Express, which he alleges IS assuming the preroga- tive of the United States with reference to postal facilities. Some months ago Mir. Williams wrote an exhaustive article for one of the law journals maintain ing that in carrying packages which would not damage the mail in the pouches the express company is violating the postal laws. The article created some editorial comment on the part of the law journal. When here some weeks ago MT. Williams stated that he hao been investi- gating further the right of the express company to carry such packages, which would be admit ted to the facilities of the United States mails, and that he had dug up government statute which gives any one the right as an informer to bring suit against such common carriers to recover for himself and the gov ernment the penalty, which is $15o for each offense.
 Mir. Williams has filed suit in the Federal court for the pen- alty named. In his complaint he says that the express company named operates between Fayette- vile and Chicago and recently delivered to the firm of Williams X Buchanan a merchandise par eel weighing sixteen ounces, and that this package was brought over a postal route, and IS not of the class barred from the mails.
 So far as Is known this IS the first suit of the kind brought in this section, or elsewhere, of its kind, and 1t of course involves an issue very important to the express company.-Ft.Z Smith News Record.

HERE'S A CURE
FOR DIPTHERIA

Rogers, Ark, Oct. 17. Since Mir. Riggs Marlborough of this place has lost three of his child ren in the last two months, with that much dreaded disease diph- theria, want to tell the readers of The Springdale News my ex- perlence with diphtheria.
 When 1 lived at War Eagle, my youngest daughter, now Laura Miller, had very severe attack of this dreaded disease, and Doc tor Wilcox of Huntsville, cured her in short order by taking a bottle of gargling oil, and with a feather from the wing of a chick ell, he swabbed her throat inside with the gargling oil, and one application gave immediate re- lief; and he went home, and my wife swabbed the throat three or four times that day. and III less than twenty-four hours she was apparently we'll, and the remedy IS equally good for tonsillitis.
 If the above remedy is not too  expensive, or too simple, you might try 1t.

BENTON COUNTY SHERIFF
 GETS THE REWARD,

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 15.- Governor Pindall today decided that Sheriff James Hickman, of Benton County, and not E. J. Pearson, Marshal of Neosho, Mo-. is entitled to the reward of $500 for the arrest of Henry Black and Jim Wren, recently convicted of attempting to rob the Bank of Springtown, Benton County, and sentenced to terms in the Arkansas penitentiary.
 Black and Wren were serving a thirty-day sentence III jail at Neosho, Mo-. for carrying con- cealed weapons when the Arkan- sas authorities became convinced they were the ones wanted for an attempt to rob the bank at Springtown. The Missouri au- thorltieS, however, refused to turn them over until they had completed their sentence, when they were brought back to Ben- ton County on a acquisition from the governor of Missouri. The Missouri sheriff and the Benton County sheriff both claimed the reward, but 1t will be seen that Governor Pindall decided in favor nf thn latter

FROM ABOARD
 DEBS' BRED SPECIAL,

Trenton, N. J., Oct. II, 1908 MT. Jno. P. Stafford, Springdale, Ark. Kind Friend: When l started on the continental eam- paign tour with Eugene V. Debs, Socialist candidate for president, intended writing you a brief account of the trip occasionally, but my time has been taken up to such an extent that l could scarcely write more than a postal card home. The demonstrations along the path of the Red Special proves that the Socialist party has the only vital issue in this campaign. Our western trip was magnificent success. The most flattering newspaper accounts give but little idea of the under-current of enthusiasm that Is mark of each and every meeting.
 One of the features of our par ades IS the number of women and children who participate in them; something urheard of in political demonstrations.
 In Seattle We had a magnif- cent meeting, after which We went to Everett, Wash, where d crowd of twenty-five hundred had waited until twelve o'clock, lis tening to local speakers. We marched into the hall at just 12 o'clock playing the Marseillaies, after which Comrade Debs spoke until 1:S0.
 Our eastern trip is equally as interesting. All halls are pack ed and jammed. At Schenect- ady, \. Y., our meeting was held al $ o'clock Sunday morning, and fully 5000 people gathered at the depot to listen to the gospel of industrial Emancipation" which is being handed out all along the line. l can assure you they are never disappointed.
 In New York We filled the Hip. podrome, the largest theatre in the city, and had an overflow meeting that also packed the American Theatre. Tie daily N. World sald 1t was the greatest political meeting that had been witnessed there ir years.
 In conservative old Boston. Fanenil Hall tie Grade of Lib. ertv, was too small to aeeommo. date the throng who had gather. ed to hear our presidential candl. date. Fifteen hundred packed the hall, and fully five times that many jammed the streets listen. ing to local speakers from differ. ent stands. The spirit of the Socialist movement IS the same that animated the Revolutionary Fathers, and the Boston papers acknowledged that the old "Cradle of Liberty had not ex.
