This resolution was adopted unanimously, and as there have been no
changes in the Hawaiian Senate since the adjournment, he thinks it
absolutely sure that the members voted in favor of annexation.

One of the inhabitants of Milledgeville, Kentucky, has a very
interesting relic of the early days of our country.

It is an old flint-lock rifle which once belonged to Daniel Boone, the
famous pioneer, who opened up Kentucky for us.

It is asserted that this rifle belonged to Boone when he went to
Kentucky in May, 1769, and the history of the rifle can be so clearly
traced back to its first owner that there seems to be little doubt of
the truth of the story.

The barrel of the gun measures four feet one inch, and the entire gun
six feet two inches.

The story goes that it was with this gun that Boone helped to kill the
2,300 deer whose skins were hidden in the mountains of Kentucky, while
the pioneers went back to Virginia for more ammunition and supplies.

When the men returned a few months later, they found that the Indians
had stolen and destroyed the entire lot of skins.

The present owner of the gun has had it for fifty years.
