TOLD Wild TALES
Mysterious Stranger Spread
Flood RumOrs in Topeka.
Frightened Residents Into Fear
of Great Calamity.

Who is this mysterious stranger
that came like a thief in the night and
brought terror and fear to the hearts
of the people in the Taylor tract and
Garfield place during the recent flood
scare? Unknown and unidentified he
decended upon the peacefully sleeping
families and brought wild warning of
broken bikes and a wall of water
sweeping down across the low land to
the west and threatening the homes of
the people in these districts.
Several families that were visited by
this unappreciated Paul Revere needed
the warning, placed their belongings
in safe place and got ready to move.
As a result of his ASSERT enSI there was
little sleep in some homes and many
people were badly frightened until
some doubling persons remembered to
investigates the wild rumOr and found
it to be untrue.
Today there are at least half
dozen young men who would like to
talk to this man of mystery for about
five minutes. But there is no one to
whom he delivered his unwelcOme and
untruthful warning that knows him or
knows where he may be found. Like
a will o-the-wisp he came and like
the headless rider of Sleepy Hollow
he vanished into the darkness.
Many theories are eXpOunded
among the people in this community.
The most prevalent idea is that he
wished the residents to leave their
homes empty and unguarded that he
might have easy access to the prop
erty of the suburban jewellers. One
ct that bears out this theory is that
the homes visited were those of the
more prosperous people or the dis
trict If this was his purpose he was
in his plans, for among
the men Of the tract the determina-
ton was firm to stay with their places
Women and children were to be
moved out but the men and boys had
all decided to stay if the water did
come.
Now that all possible danger is gone
the minds of the people of these dis
tricts are turning to the question,
who is hep" He IS undoubtedly a
stranger in this part of the country.
Many angry men would like to have
him come forth for just a few min

CITY GIVEN ANOTHER CHANCE.

The house has tabled the bill which would
transfer milk inspection from the city and
county to the territory, and for two years more
al least the municipality retains its authority
over the handling of milk on Oahu.
The house vote was undoubtedly due very
largely to the fact that the present city admin
istration was able to show considerable activity
in Inspecting milk, whereas under the last ad-
ministration the municipal inspection was a
farce. 49, - 8 = : - - .<~s-

DAUNTLESS POLAND.

The daunteSS courage and the repeated dis
asters of unhappy Poland have been thrown
once again into the worlds notice by the lime
light of war Poles all over the world; suffer-
ing with their brethren in Europe are tighten
ing the best they can the cruel burden Of want
and harasSmcnt inflicted by the armies that
alternate in possession of the torn soil. Even
in faroff Hawaii representatives of this sorcly-
beset race are giving to their more needy COM
radeS at home.
"Frcc Poland" is the title of a little publi-
cation that has come to the StarBuletin. 1t
j. published in Chicago. If there were any
'i2estion as to what Poland wants in th's war,
this printed spokesman should settle it. Poland
want independence-both of Russia and Of
Germany.
Here is an extract:
1.-The brave Polish soldier is fighting his own
brother in another Uniform. He is driven
against his own race in what should be his own
country.
1.-The Prussian Pole and the Austrian Pole
are forced by militarism to invade the country
Of the Russian Pole and devastate the land
add this horror of horrors to all the Bel
gian horrors and in some measure we can I'M
derstand the terrible plight of the Polish race
in this hour of agony The mortality list among
the Polish soldiers is said to be. the heaviest in
the war. This is accounted for in the claim
that they are sent foremost in the ranks of the
invaders, and therefore bear the brunt of every
onslaught. In any event they are fighting
brother against brother and against their will.
1.-The Pole will fight to the death for liberty.
The history of Poland is an inspiration as far
as heroic sacrifice is concerned. AS we'll under
take to stop the earth in it's course as to try to
to quench the desire for freedom in the heart
of Pole. Were he fighting his own fight he
would be prepared for any fate, but his present
situation is the most trying ordeal a race has
ever endured
''This people, in spite of the terrible calaln-
ity that has overtaken them, are sustained by
the fixed and firm hope that out of it all will
come the reward of their long and faithful fight
for freedom and the realization of their dream
OF ages for a. reunited and integrated Poland.
: Millions died. that Caesar might be great. and
in this war of nations, millions have died but
for hatpurpose is not yet apparent. Millions
more will die not to make a Caesar, but where
so many die a purpose will develop and in the
first line of possibilities is an end of militariSm,
freedom OF smaller states and independence of
natural nations
