TELLING THE TRUTH PAYS.
Money Made by Honest Advertising-Sub
stantiaI Evidence of 1t.


stantiaI Evidence of it.
Truthful always the advertising
being done by the Adam Forepaugh
shows for this year, 1898, would Sc
verely test the confidence of the
readers and beholders if they did not
know that they had never before
been deceived by the announcements
made by these great shows. But
this year they are advertised that
they will exhibit so much more than
they ever did before; that they are
so much larger, grander and better
than not only they, but all other
shows have ever seen, that at first
the suspicion is naturally aroused
that the shows are depending upon
their always heretofore unassailable
reputation for veracity and honesty,
to make the public believe what they
say and patronize the shows in such
numbers as to make them so much
money that the proprietor need not
care what people may think of him
in the future. But, no. 1t is posi-
lively known that such is not the
case. Fortunately newspaper ex-
changes place editors in close touch
with all other sections of the coun-
try, and through them they can
learn exactly the character of any
travelling concern, so that there is
no necessity for the public to remain
in ignorance or be deceived in this
advanced age when it is within the
comprehensive power of the press to
enlighten them upon any and all sub
jects. 1t is pleasure to state,
therefore, that the Adam Forepaugh
shows are most favorably reported
by the press wherever they have APP
peared thus far this season; indeed,
the reports are so extremely favora-
BILE that they seem born of an enthu-
siasm that they could be aroused
only by the extraordinary and entire
ly precedented magnitude and
merit of the great shows. These
press reports invariably state that
the shows are actually larger,
grander and better than advertised,
and entirely worthy of public pat
ronage to the fullest degree. They
will be here on Saturday, Aug. 3,
and it is confidently expected that
this paper Will have the pleasure of
chronicleing the entire pleasure of
the public in receiving so much
amusement, entertainment and in
struction as it seems certain is pro-
vided by the Adam Forepaugh shows.

HONOLULU A HOT PLACE
TROUBLE is THREATENED By
THE ROYALISTS
Who Take Courage From the Instructions
Issued u. s. Minister Blount by Sec
Rotary Gresham.

Honolulu letter, via Steamer Aus
tralia to San Francisco: The situation
here at present is more interesting than
for several months and the whole town
is agog with excitement over late de-
velopments. First came the arrests
of Messrs. Bush and Kenyon, editors
of native papers, on charges of libeling
the provisional government and Minis
ter Stevens, then publication of Sec
rotary Gresham instructions to Com
missioner Blount and warning by the
latter TO the anneXationists that they
could not depend upon help from the
United States in case the royalists at
tempted to reinstate their queen; then
news of Blount's appointment as
United Statas minister to Hawaii and
finally an attempt of the provisional
government to silence Charles Nord-
hoff, correspondent of the New York
Herald, (who was alleged to have made
statements derogatory to the govern
ment which were untrue) and Minister
Blounts interference in his behalf.
All sorts of alarming rumors are atloat
and even Minister Biount, who all
along has predicted that there will be
no trouble, is not now so confident
Commissioner Blounts instructions
from Secretary Gresham were very
lengthy. Besides requesting him to
| investigate affairs on the Hawaiian
islands they say You are authority
in all matters touching the relations of
this government TO the existing or
| other government of the islands, and
protection of our citizens in para
mount; and in you alone, acting in CO.
operation with the commander of the
naval forces is vested full discretion
and power TO determine when such
| forces should'be landed or withdrawn"
That while the United States claims no
right to interfere in internal conflicts,
this government will adhere to its con-
| sistent and established policy and it
will not acquiesce in domestic inter
| ference by other powers. At the end
of his instructions Mr.. Blount added
the following postscript: 'Whilc l
shall refrain from interference between
conflicting forces of whatever nation
atty for supremacy, l will protect
American citizens not participating in
such conflict"
These few lines created great excite
ment, as they were regarded by all
parties as plain invitation to the
| royalists to make trouble. The royal
lists, however, say they are not now
prepared To take advantage of
Blount's notice, but will await
| the decision of the United States. If
the islands are not annexed, as the
royalists firmly believe they will not be,
then there may be trouble. The pro-
visional government is strengthening
its position, and claims to be able to
hold together for several years, or I'M
til new administration, if annexation
is refused by Mr.. Cleveland.

Thirty-four states were represented
by able men at the antitrust conven-
ton in Apollo Music hall, Chicago.
The convention had been called by
Gov. Knute Nelson, of Minnesota, in
obedience to resolution passed by the
legislature of his state. The conven-
ton was called to order by Gov. Mel
son, who read an address in which he
gave history of the antitrust move
ment in Minnesota, which had resulted
in the call for the convention. Gov.
Nelson dissected the Sherman anti
trust law, which he said was but an
experiment and one which had re-
suited in no practical good. The law
is weak, he said, because it does not
define :he crime. what is needed -

are illegal. 1t ought to prescribe a
short and simple form of Indictment.

For "A Patriotic Fourth OF July.

Miss Mary Deane, representing the
Daughters of the American Revolution
OH the Columbian Liberty Bell COM
mittee, has addressed n letter from
Washington to the managers of the
Worlds Fair, urging that the Fourth
of July next shall be made particularly
Liberty Bell Day." the honors being
divided between the old Liberty
Bell and the Columbian Liberty Bell
that will be rung for the first time that
day. She also urges that all patriotic
societies shall join that day, each in the
different localities throughout the
United States, in following Chicago
example and in having an old fashioned
Fourth of July, calling the event parti-
cularly Liberty Bells Day" She
urges that at the time that the Column
bian Liberty Bell shall ring at Chicago
that day, that the bells all over the
land shall take up the refrain from
Maine TO San Francisco and from Key
West to Puget Sound. Her thought is
that the bells throughout the country
shall not ring at l2 noon at the time of
day with them, but at the time that it
is l2 o'clock noon in Chicago, so that
all the bells throughout the land
will be ringing at the same moment.
She suggests also that Colonel Alex

sentative of the press TO deliver the

IN COPPER MINES.
The huge cotton SOLID Find at the
National Had to be Broken.

The cotton mass of solid copper
which was discovered at the bottom
of the old National mine in the ODton-
agon country is now on it's way to the
smelters in several pieces of varying
weights, inasmuch as no hosting
machinery built would take up TO the
surface from the mine a mass of copper
of 20 tons in weight. 10 required
four months or raore from the time the
mass was first seen TO mine away the
surrounding rock and chisel the inn
mense block of pure copper into pieces
not too large to be hoisted TO surface
in the ''slSip." Unlike the ores of all
the metals which can be readily drilled
the copper deposits of the Lake
Superior district contain the native
metal and not an ore. In the con-
glomerate veins of Hougbton county
the copper is in small pieces, dis
tributed in the proportion of one to
eight per cent throughout the rock.
In OntonagOn county the copper Is
found in amygdaloid veins and in
masses varying from n tiny speck
weighing but grain or two to masses
of solid copper of monstrous size. The
work of removing them is very
tedious one, as the mass cannot be
drilled and broken by dynamite, as all
other mining is done. 1t must be cut
into sizes suitable for transportation
by chisels, and so tough is it that it

Kansas Grain Company Goes Down.

The Kansas Grain Company, which
claims to be the greatest buyer of
grain from producers in the world, has
failed. ii. NJ. Kirkpatrick, secretary
and treasurer of the company, notified
the secretary of the board that the
company was unable to meet its con-
tracts. When the announcement of
the suspension was made on the board
at Kansas City it caused great excite
ment. The company has elevators in
100 towns and cities in Kansas, which
represent an investment of Sl5O,00O.
All of these elevators contain more
or less grain. The company
was incorporated some five years ago
with capital stock of $4,000. The
cause of the failure as stated by the
officers is tight money market. Mr..
kirkpatrick says the stringency in
money prevented the company from
realizing on its warehouse receipts,
which were depended upon to meet
maturing obligations. They will prob
ably be able to meet all claims if not
pushed too heavily.
