CHARGED WITH ROB-
B|NCMEN on TRAIN
TWO DESPERADOES CAPTURED
AT CARPIO POOL HALL CHARG-
ED WITH ROBBING THRESH-
IN CREW ON FREIGHT TRAIN
NEAR MINOT.

Friday night, two masked bandits
with wicked looking guns, robbed sew
eral threshermen on top of q freight
train as it was nearing Minot. The
men boarded the train at Kenmare
and shortly before the train arrived in
this city, tied blue handkerchiefs over
their faces and walked down the train,
making the men who were riding on
the top Of the cars, she'll out. Just as
the train slowed up for the G. N.
crossing, they jumped of and started
up the track towards Burlington with
$7S which they had compelled the
threshermen to turn over to them.
Richard Eckert, one of the men who
was robbed, followed the alleged ban
dts to Burlington and watched them
buy tickets. When they left the de-
pot, he asked the agent their desti-
nation and found that they were to
board the train for Carpio. He fol-
lowed on the same train and when
they jumped off and started for the
hills, he Swallowed them. Later they
walked into Carpio and went into the
pool hall, starting to play pool. Eek
ert gave the alarm and the citizens of
Carpio turned out enmasse armed with
Winchesters and shot guns and drove
the men into corner. Sheriff Kelley
was notified by telephone. Deputy
Doherty was at Carpio half an hour
later. One of the men was handcuffed
and both were brought to this city
and placed in the county Jail.
During the time Of the holdup, re-
volver duel took place between the
bandits and young thresher, ELS
worth Wilson. The latter was shot
thru the shoulder and is now resting
easily in st. Joseph's hospital.

CATHEDRAL
Of RHEIMS TO Be RE-
STORED after WAR

Later reports from Europe indicate
that it will be possible to restore the
cathedral of Rheims, which was at
first reported entirely devastated by
the German bombardment of the old
French town. This is one of the most
famous cathedrals in the world and
the most magnificent in point of pure
Gothic architecture. It was started in
the thirteenth century and from time
immemorial was the coronation scene
of the French kings. The world is
glad to hear that this wonderful edi-
flee has not been totally destroyed, but
can be repaired and used again for it's
holy purposes.

worship of King Money! The New
York papers report three Wall street
bankers ready, willing and anxious to
sell bonds. to France, Germany and
Austria, in this country, collect our
brave dollars, and send them five to
eight thousand miles away where the
value Of millions of dollars of property
is destroyed in one days time. Is it
not strange that some patriotic bank
ers do not obtain some of that idle
money and loan it to farmers in N. D.
at the same rate of interest that the
money earns when sent to a foreign
country to be used in war? So brave
are the dollars in New York City that
the bankers there are organizing
branch banks in the wilds Of South
America.
The climax of chance games is seen
at a newly discovered oil field or
gold mine. At Beaumont, Texas, oil
field, it is a common thing to see a
man walking around with five, ten,
fifteen and even twenty thousand dol
lars in a small hand satchel, and pay
ing these sums TO rleases from five to
ten miles from the big oil well, and
80 per cent of these leases proved
worthless, but that did not lessen the
bravery Of the dollars. Many were the
brave dollars that carried their owners
with the gold fever into Alaska and
left their masters there to perish from
the frigid rigors. Statistics show that
more dollars as total have been
spent seeking oil, gold and silver, than
have been produced by all such wells
and mines. But such facts do not pro-
duce any cowardice in dollars.
Truth in Nutshell.
Money is just as timid, brave, bold,
cowardly, cunning, thievish, niggard-
ly, charitable, patriotic, as it's owner
no more, no less!
Money and its owner are two cow
ards, two patriots, two braves, or two
Shylocks of equal rank and similarly
constituted. There is no conception Of
the two wearing different shoes
truly, they are two .inseparable twins!
The prime object Of those who start

gain some undue advantage as in boz

RAISING MONEY
FOR RED CROSS

Germans of the Hawaiian Islands
are raising a fund for the assistance
of the German wing of the Red
Cross in Europe. and the total, it
is said, will run into very big
money. When all is collected it
will be forwarded to tn Old Coun-
ty through Messrs. Hackfeld &
Company, Honolulu.
In conjunction with the general
campaign for funds, list was
started on Kauai about ten days
ago. In Lihue nearly 81 10000
was raised, and more than $500 has
been added at koloa, while between
that town and Kekaha about $500
additional has come in. The grand
total for the island of Kauai will
probably reach S5,000.00.
1t is understood that Germans
all over the United States are rails
ing money for the same purpose,
so that the receipts from American
sources will likely be enormous.
The supposition locally is that
the money will go to the headquar
ters of the Red Cross in Switzer-
land, to be distributed from there
through the proper channels.

HANAMAULU HAS
A BURGLARY CASE

The Hanamaulu store was bur-
glarized few nights ago, three
watches and two pocket knives be-
ing taken. 1t is just possible that
some other odds and ends were
picked up but if so they have no,
been definitely missed.
The thief got into the store
through one OF the side windows
The method of getting in and
character of merchandise taken has
caused the authorities to suspect
Filipinoes.
A strange thing about the bur
glary is that no attempt was made
to take anything of very large
value or any large amount of any.
thing. The thief was evidently
satisfied with a small haul for his
trouble.

NEW BUNGALOWS
FOR THE SCHOOLS

The trouble about the site for
the proposed new school for the
Waipouli homesteads has been got
ten out of the way, and at the end
of last week Mr.. Moragne began
the work of putting up the build
ing there, on Lot SS. There was
at first some question about the
title to a lot on this property, but
the land department at Honolulu
made such arrangement as to jusri-
fy the authorization t. the Kauai
Board of Supervisors to go ahead
with the building. The school
house at that place will be of the
bung allow type, "a by 27 feet.
Two new buildings have been
added to the Koloa school and will
be ready for service at the opening
of the term in September. They are
both bungalows, of the regulation
size and design; and stand to the
right of the front entrance.
Another bungalow, "a by 27,
has been erected near the road on
the premises of the Lihue school to
be used for the purposes of manual
training; and another of identical
design and size has been built at
the Eleele school for the same pur-
pose.
improvements have been COM
pleted at several other schools, SO
that at the opening in September
all will be found in excellent shape
for the years work.

The Juvenile Bostonians will ar

taken to the Bayview Hotel. Two
entertainments will be given there,
in the social hall, the first on

ing The Isle of Spice"; and the
second Thursday evening, h e

The troupe will then proceed to
Lihue where The Golden Slip
per" will be presented on Satur-
dav evening, to be followed by
The Loves of Lenore" OH Mon
day evening.
Reservations for each of the per
formances have been quite heavy,
so that crowded houses at each
place is already assured.
1t is to be noticed that not g

anywhere. in consequence oi
which it is presumed that at each

Mr.. NJ 'CANDLESS
COMPLETES TOUR

L. l.. McCandless, aspirdnt for
the nomination of the Democratic
ticket for delegate to Congress
completed a tour OF Kauai at the
week end and returned to Honolu-
lu Saturday mgnt. He was well
received everywhere and, as a rule,
very fair audiences turned out to
hear him spiel A great deal of his
work was done along the roads and
in the camps.
Upon landing i'll Lihue, Mr.. Nc
Candless made shoot for Hanalei
and held meetings t Wainlha,
Hanalei, Kilauea anG Kapaa,
jumping over from there to kekaha
and Waimea. His Waimea meet
ing, as we'll as the one i'll Kapaa,
was quite we'll attended.
From Waimea, the candidate
worked back to Makaweli, Hama
pope, Eleele, Homestead and Ko-
loa, meetings being held all along.
In general, McCandless paid his
respects to all of the candidates,
including Palmer Woods. III re-
gard to his own policies, he d'lat-
ed quite great deal on the sub
jects of Improvements 10 the home
sted ding laws and also on the mat
;er of leases. He accused George
Carter, then Governor, of giving
awav the island of Lanai.
On the sugar question, lie at
tempted a defense of the Democrat
ic national policy oflow duty and
proposed a sort of elastic duty ar
rang 9ement, under which tn duty
would rise and full, like the mer-
curry in the tube, according to the
price of sugar.
MI. NcCandless delivered one of
his principal addresses at the'whaEt
in Nawiliwili Saturday afternoon,
where quite large number of peo-
pie had gathered to witness the
sailing of the Kinau. There the
Democratic leader, standing III
front OF Spltz lemonade emporium,
poured hot shot into the crowd.
He appeared tc be just little sew
ere on George K. Carter and to
some extent, Palmer Woods; but
had little to say of ither Kuhio or
Rice, except along party lines.
The speaker touched upon the
sugar situation, but found other
reasons than the new tariff scheme
for hard times talk. Low duty
was not the worst thing i'll the
world, to his mind; and he then
dilated upon his plan OF an auto
matte duty, which would rise and
fall according to the price OF sugar
