NO JOKE

Editing a newspaper is nice thing
If we publish jokes people say we
are ratified Drained. II we don't we
are fossils. II we publish original
matter they say we don't give them
enough selections. II we give them
selections they say we are too lazy to
write If we don't go to church we
are heathens. If we do go we are
hypocrites. If we remain at the Of
fee we ought to be out looking for
news items. If we go out then we
are not attending to business. II we
wear old clothes they laugh at US.
II we wear good clothes they say we
have pull Now, what are we to
do? Just as likely as not some one
will say that we stole this from an
exchange. So we did.

My honest conviction, based upon my own experience and that of my friends, is that Hunts Cure will cure larger per cent, of skin troubles,
 especially of an itching variety, than ary other remedy. Certainly those afflicted with any form of itch should try it." J. o. Monroe, Atchison, Kas.

BISHOP, WARD
 DIED IN JAPAN
Had Been III Several Weeks And lis Death Was Not x
 Unexpected Was s5 -s5 51 Years Old

Tokio, Sept. 20.-Bishop Seth Ward. of the Methodist Episco- pal Church South, died this afternoon. The Bishop arrived at Kobe last month on his rega- lar tour of inspection of Metho- dist Missions in Japan and he was taken il shortly after his arrival. Last week he was re- ported gradually sinking and tine fatal determination of his illness was not expected.
 Bishop Ward who came from Houston, Texas, sailed from San Francisco late in July to make the annual inspection of his church in the foreign missionary field. While he was not suffer- ing from any chronic complaint, it was known he was nIpoor health and friends attempted to dissuade him from the trip.
 The Bishop was 51 yearsi.old. He served as assistant missionary of the Methodist ''eEpiscopal Church, South, from 1902 to 1oO6 and was elected Bishop in the latter year.
 The death of Bishop Ward leaves only eight bishops in the Southern Church, and of these two are over eighty years of age and another is just recovering from a surgical operation that came near proving very serious.
 Tn point of election Bishop Alpheus w. Wilson. of Baltimore, is the oldest bishop of the church. The seven other bishops are Flu gene R. Hendrix, Kansas City; Joseph Key, Sherman, Texas; o. P. Fitzgerald, Nashville; i; Warren A. Chandler, Atlanta; Henry c. Morrison. Lake City. Florida; E. E. Hoss, Nashville; James Atkins, Waynesville, N. C.
 Bishop Key and Bishop Fitz- gerald have each passed their eightieth year. Bishop Hendrix has been in the service many years. but is still one of the most active men in the church. Bishop Candler is a comparatively young man, as is also Bishop Morrison, and both are promi- nent in the work of the church. Bishop Hoss suffered from in- different health and underwent a surgical operation toward the first of the present year, but is reported now as having fully re covered. Bishop Atkins is one of the newest bishops and is in the vigor of manhood.
 UNUSUAL FATALITY
 The death of Bishop Ward brings out the fact of unusual fatality in the episcopal servic e during the past four years, six out of fourteen bishops have died since the ...last general conference in 1906. 4. Two of these were bishops chosen at the 1906 conference.
 The six bishops who have de- parted this life since the last general conference are Bispops William w. Duncan, Charles B. Galloway, John c. Cranberry, A. Coke Smith, John J. Tigert and Seth Ward. Both Bishops Ward and Tigert were elected in 1906.

THEY CHUNG To
A CAPS|zED
BOAT
Samoan Swan Ashore
to Get Aid for His
Comrades.

With two men clinging to the bottom
of capsized boat off Barber's Point
yesterdayy-a Samoan fisherman swan in
four miles for assistance, and launches
were Immediately despatched from
Watertown, Pearl Harbor, but up to a
late hour last night the men had not
been brought in.
The Samoan, whose name is Eoloia,
went out in the boat with two Porto
Rieans. When off Barber IS Point the
vessel overturned and the men were
thrown into the water. They managed
to gain the bottom of the boat and
chung there. The Samoan found that
the only thing to do was to swim to
the shore, but the Porto Ricans could
not SWIM The Samoan thereupon de-
cided to swim in alone and get boats
to bring his comrades in. He landed
at Keaha point and walked overland
to the dredging camp. The launch
Pearl was sent out but she returned last
evening without having found any trace
of the men, and the larger launch Huki-
huki, owned by Young brothers, was
despatched seward.
It is understood also that launches
from the warships at anchor off port
have been ordered toi look out for the
boat and it's unfortunate men.
The accident occurred about 2 o CLOCK
yesterday afternoon and it was after
before the Samoan reached the camp

POST HOLES WILL
COST BUT FIFTY
CENTS UNDER LAW

Post holes will cost fifty cents each,
not one dollar. At the suggestion of
Deputy County Attorney Milverton,
the street excavation ordinance was
last night amended, that there might
be no question of revenue raising in
volved should the matter ever be
brought into courts. Also the permit
fee for continuous excavations, such
as pipe trenches, was made little
more definite. AS the ordinance origin
ally stood, each excavation cost one
dollar; now for ditch permit must
be secured for every 300-foot stretch,
and each permit will cost fifty cents.
1t was explained that, as there is
every likelihood that the ordinance
will be tested in the courts, it is de-
sirable that no loopholes be left where
by some unimportant item may in
validate the entire law. The deputy
county attorney explained that a fee
of one dollar for each permit might be
considered in the light of a tax levied
for the purpose of raising revenue, a
thing which the county has no author
ity to do. He therefore recommended
that the permit fee be reduced to a
figure commensurate with the amount
of work necessary on the part of the
county TO supervise and inspect the ex
cavations.
Aylett wanted to pass the ordinance
in its original form, and then take the
amendment up later, in order to avoid
readvertising the whole law. This plan
did not meet with favor and finally
the amendments were incorporated as
recommended by the county attorney.

LIQUOR REGULATIONS
MAY De MADE MORE
STRINGENT SUNDAYS

AS result of the free circulation
of liquor on Sunday, steps will prob
ably be taken to put quietus on the
Sunday deliveries of beer and other in
toxicants. As far as could be as
eertained yesterday, the brewery
stopped delivering on saloon orders
soon after 4 clock. This was about
the time the Advertiser began investi-
gazing the state of affairs.
More or less damage was done late
Sunday night and early yesterday morn
ing. Several plate glass windows were
smashed, while others were disfgured,
evidently with diamonds.
The evident evasion of the spirit of
the Sunday closing regulation has
stirred up considerable feeling, and
steps viii probably be taken to see
that a repetition of Sundays perform
ances does not occur. Whatever may
be the legal status of the case, there
is general condemnation for the
saloons which sold orders for Sunday
delivery of beer and the brewery is
being severely arraigned for honoring
the orders. The whole affair is likely
to result in far more stringent regGla-
tions than those now in force.
