Quick and Generous Response to Appeal
For Aid to Flood Sufferers Comes
Nearly Six Thousand
Dollars Come in
Voluntarily.

In little more than one day nearly
six thousand dollars, in subscriptions
ranging in amount from twenty-five
cents to five hundred dollars, from rich
and poor alike, poured into The Adver-
tiser and Star Bulletin and was col
lected by Rev. w. d. Westervelt to be
forwarded to the sufferers in Nebraska
Ohio and Indiana. Before the sun had
set yesterday more than five thousand
dollars of this amount had been cabled
to aid in the relief of those who are
now helpless, hungry, manned and dying
in the path of the terrible floods and
fires which have laid those once pros
porous districts vase.
Aid Cabled Sufferers.
The money cabled yesterday was sent
for the Honolulu Buckeye Society, Rev.
w. D. Westervelt, president, 1t was
forwarded by the First National Bank
and was probably one of the first con.
tributions to reach Governor Cox at
Columbus, Ohio.
President Westervelt has balance of
$500 to be sent with the next INSTALL
ment. The Honolulu lodge of Elks
cabled $3.50 to the order of the exalted
ruler of the order. More will go for
ward today, and just as long as the need
for help continues it is believed the
people of Honolulu and the Territory
at large will continue to send in their
contributions. The Advertiser as we'll
as the Star.Bulletin will receive contri'
buttons for the cause.
City Ready to Aid.
All that has prevented the city of Ho.
Rolulu from making liberal appropria,
ton is uncertainty as to the powers of
the supervisors A meeting of that
body was called yesterday, Supervisor
Petrie proposed an appropriation anu
was willingly seconded by the others.
1t win first be necessary to get an
opinion from the city attorney. Super.
visor Wolter urged haste and the ques.
ton was referred to the legislative
committee. 1t is possible that a way
will be found today by which the city
can add its share to the contribution.

not been many deaths in North Dayton
and but few in Riverdale. Famine is
general throughout the city, but this
condition is being rapidly remedied.
Some Streets Clear.
For the first time since the flood all
water is off the street in front of the
algonquin Hotel. The water reached
the second story the first two days.
The downtown streets were crowded
today with hungry citizens. The peo'

are glad to be alive. The survivors
ioked and cried and laughed by turns
Most of them had prepared to die by
either fire or water.

cine for the sick, hungry and stricken,
the injured and dying. In both houses
of the legislature measures were IN
troduced appropriating $4,000, subject
to the order of the Governor and to
be cabled as soon as the measures can

Two Bills introduced.

Representative Watkins introduced
one measure in the house, while Sena-
tor Writ introduced similar bill in
the senate. The measures passed first

cial orders for today and by next tues

Here is the list of the people of
Honolulu who responded so promptly
to the far-of cries of the starving and
naked children and their stricken
mothers and fathers, the sick and
wounded and the dying people in the
stricken states of Ohio, Indiana and
Nebraska. They have come forth
nobly and proved to the world that
Hawaii is not slow in going to the aid
of those who have so suddenly found
themselves helpless. 1t is a roll of
honor which sheds glory on the name
of the newest Territory in the Union.

the laws referred If they are really
honest in such movement for refer
ence, it would seem that they might
desire that the matter be settled as
soon as possible. The fact is, how
ever, that they fear the result of the
peoples decision and realize that a
special election in November will, to
a certain extent, defeat their plans.
Parkison, the prime mover in refer
endum matters, is one of these, and
openly declares that the election
should not be held. He brazenly as
serts that the university appropria-
tions, against which the referendum
engineered by himself is aimed,
should be held up for two years; the
fate of Oregon's higher educational
institutions is not considered
The Day bill is a just one, it pro-
vides that these disputes shall be
settled at the earliest possible mo-
ment and the good of the people in
dicates that it should be upheld and

souri,, in December, 1880, to Miss
Amelia HEN. Coming west immedi-
ately, he settled in Palouse, Whit
man county, Washington, where he
located on a farm, living there until

riences with the bushwhackers and
guerrillas which followed that war.
He was a devout member of the Bap-
tist church, also the Artisans lodge.
He was buried in Lone Fir cemetery,

A new way to circumvent the
stringent liquor laws in dry states
has been invented by a resourcefuI
Maine Yankee. He has discovered a
way to concentrate a fair sized JAG
in a tabloid that costs about five
cents, and so cent box of the stuff
is guaranteed to produce as much
joy as a gallon Of whiskey In other
words, the invention is simply the
means of condensing booze into a
small tablet like a beef extract or a
soup portion. What chance have the
dry adherents in a contingency such
as this? The officials of the law
may search a mans premises for
contraband liquids, but he cannot
pick his pockets looking for jag pills.
The pathway to a souse is thus made
more easy What's trouble to a fell
low with a booze tablet in his vest
pocket?

It should be the individual duty of
every citizen of Dallas to promote
interest in the coming chautauqua
which opens at he city park on July
4 for six day session. This will be
the first event of the kind in the his
tory of Dallas but it should never
theless be made a success. No city
is more advantageously situated for
successful event of this kind and
no class of people anywhere, will
more appreciate the good things of
fered in the coming program. That
plenty of interesting things will be
offered is already apparant, and thcre
will not be dull day in the entire
six. The city park offers tempting
spots for camping parties and it is
hoped that many will take advantage
of this opportunity to take week s
vacation and establish themselves in
a tented home where they may be
handy to the chautauqua tent and all
the enjoyable events on the program.
1t is desirable that the chautauqua
be made an annual event here, and
its success this year will do much
to encourage the promoters of the
enterprise to try again. Chautauquas
in other cities have long been the
event Of the year and it may be made
the same here. All that it necessary
is united effort on the part of the
people of Dallas.

For the purpose of converting the
court house grounds at Albany into
a public park, a committee from the
Retail Merchants association of that
city, has asked the county court of
Linn county to provide benches for
visiting farmers and their families
and for all others who may care to
use them. This, it seems to The OBJ
server, is a move in the right direc-
ton, and we would like to see it en-
ployed in Dallas. The placing of
drinking fountains for the use of the
public at prominent points in the
business district is commendable, but
the installation of comfortable bench
es ON the court house plaza or ON the
parking strip surrounding it, would
we believe, be greatly appreciated,
not only by the people of the rural
communities, but by the citizens of
Dallas as well.

Well, school is out.
DR.. John Fl. Address.

Dr. John H. Address, who comes
to us the 9TH day of the Chautauqua
this summer is a great wit. Every
now and then in his lecture he makes
a quick turn and sets his audience
laughing. One day while contesting
in an oratorical contest at college,
a cat strolled out on the platform
while he was giving his selection, as
quick as thought Dr. Address turned
to the audience and said, "Ladies
and gentlemen, don't mind the kitty,
this is a mOnologue and not a cata-
logue."
