Attempts His Own Life.

While temporarily demented, Joe
Carlin residing mile west of town,
on Tuesday morning attempted to
commit suicide by cutting his throat
with knife. Only the dizziness of
the instrument prevented the man
from accomplishing his purpose. AS
it was, he inflicted serious wounds
which for time the doctors thought
would prove fatal, but at latest ad-
vices it is said he is practically out
of danger, and it is to be hoped that
no complications will set in to ag-
gravate his case.-Lawler Dispatch.

A Narrow Escape.

Stanley Hooper, the three year old
son of Thos. j. Hooper, living in
Paris township, was the victim of an
accident last Friday and the fact
that the little fellow is alive and
nearly recovered is almost a miracle
Mr.. Hooper had loaded the manure
spreader and before starting the
team he looked back to make sure
the boy was out of danger. Just as
he started, however, the little fellow
managed to get in front of the
wheel and was knocked down, the
wheel passing over the abdomen.
DIR. Hess was called and an examin-
alton showed no bones broken and
The only danger of serious results
depends on the possibility of internal
injuries, as rupture of the intestines.
1t is believed the danger point is
now passed, however. The spreader
loaded weighs about a ION, and it
seems almost incredible that the lad
could ever survive such an accident.

Boy Clutches a Live Wire.

A little son of Mrs. Mel Sweeney
while clambering around the rear
end of the Hendrick building on
Spring avenue Saturday noon reach
ed up ond grasped supply wire to
Mrs. Robbins millinery store in the
adjoining building and got shock
that set him screaming with pain
and fright. Neighbors hurried to the
scene and it was necessary to sever
the wire in order to release his
grasp. Fortunately the boy escaped
any permanent injury and was able
to be about as usual in short time.
His predicament had the neighbor-
hood badly wrought up for awhile
though. This live wire danger has
got to be guarded against thoroughly
or there will be an electrocution be-
yond recall some day. In the mean
time, hands off all wires!-Waukon

"The Mikahaia is too large vessel

There is no intention upon the part

safe to assume, however. that the

WOMAN OBJECTED TO
ENFORCED TATTOOING

A Japanese woman, who declared
herself lone widow. objected to a
compulsory and strenuous discolora-

muscular Hawaiian named Kealoha.
and as result the young man was
assessed a fine of $40 and the trim
mings this morning. The row was
one of the neighborhood variety. 1t
came up over the alleged, depreda-
tions by some chickens and COM
mon yello wdog. The chickens en-
croached upon the Japanese domain
and the Hawaiian dog proceeded to
ayenge the insult and was laid out
by a well-directed missile thrown by
the boy. The Japanese. set up a
remonstrance which wound up in
the Hawaiian inhicting bodily injur-
les upon the aged woman.

increase the capital of the corpora

The meeting was only brief one,

The increase of 100000 is due to
the fact that Brewer & Co. have talk

PASSENGERS SCARCE
But CABINS PLENTY
Duplicate Bookings Is the
Cause of Much
Trouble

There Is room for at least fifty
additional travellers for San Francis
co on the Oceanic steamer Alameda,
which is to sail for the Pacific coast
port at 10 O'Clock tomorrow morn
ing.
A similar condition of affairs ex-
isted mt the time of the departure of
the Matson liner Hilonian, which
left for the California port this
morning. The HiloTan sailed
through the channel with only a
small portion of her excellent pas
senger accommodation occupied.
1T looks like case of paying
your money and taking your choice
in the matter of passenger transpor-
tation betwern Honolulu and the
west coast of the United States these
days" was the comment offered by
u shipping man who has been in
touch with local conditions here for
q number of years.
II would like to draw the atten-
tion of those advocates of an imme-
diate suspension of the coastwise
shipping laws to the prevailing lack
of passengers to be found at the
present time.
The Pacific Mail liner Mongolia
has left Yokohama, Japan, and is
due to arrive in Honolulu on Friday.
The vessels agent wired from the
last japanese port of call that the
Mongolia had flrst-class accommoda-
tion for one hundred or more pas
Isengers. This notice was received
by II. Hackfeld & Company some
days ago. The bookings at the Ho-
nolulu Office of the Pacific Mail will
hardly total seventy after the usual
process of elimination Is gone
through in which the duplicate book
ings are stricken of the list.
The last trip Of the Oceanic Ala
media to San Francisco developed
the fact that the vessel had some
fifteen cabins to spare. All indica-
tions point to the popular Honolulu
San Francisco ferry boat leaving the
port tomorrow with a number OF va
cant staterooms.
The enthusiastic supporter of
plan whereby Japanese and other
foreign vessels will be given an OPP
portunity of cutting into the local
passenger business 10 the mainland
might with profit ind food for refiec-
ton by paying an occasional visit to
the local steamship Offices. or, better
still, going aboard the outgoing yes
sells and gettingsa line at close range
on the "crowdipg Of passengers" as
well as the thr6ng that is oft re-
ported as being tgrned away because
OF the lack Of accommodation.
The greatest.TLronble encountered
by intending passengers at the busy
season is caused by the duplicate or
triplicate booking INDUCED in by the
intending traveller. This Is one OF
the greatest evils which local ship
ping interests have to contend. II
the time should arrive here when
the steamship agencies will demand
II deposit upon an application for a
passage, 1t is believed that the great
er portion of the trlbulation and an
noyance will have been eliminated.
