MORE CRIMINAL LIBEL.

Mr.. Edmund Norrie the editor
OF the HcLoaUA, was arrested
this morning on 4 charge of Grim
inal libel preferred against him
by one Thomas W. Hebron
The article which Mr. Hebron
considers libellons appeared IN
yesterdays HoLoxUA under the
heading Another Fake. 1t
contained criticism OF a Homo

peared in the San Francisco
Chronicle and which was some of
the widest rot imaginable 1t
now seems that the brilliant i'm
aginative writer to the Chronicle is
this very Thomas ", Hebron and
he naturally feels hurt when any
newspaper here expresses sur
prise and indignation over the
yarns which he dishes out TO the
San Francisco paper which
foolishly has admitted him to its
columns. Mr.. Norrie was prompt
" released on bail in the sum of
800. bond for that amount

A GEM OF ART.
After the Shooting was Over.

AFTER the ShoOtlng was over.
In the window of the Pacific
Hardware Company is exhibited
beautiful picture in crayon of
lot of pheasants and ducks hang
ing on pole at the ends of which
are two famous Nimrods Messrs.
W. Cunningham and Captain j.
Black. Two handsome dogs and
two first class guns indicate how
the game got on the pole. Every
sportsman and every man who
prefers eating the birds to shooting
them should admire the picture
which is the work of Mr.. Good
of ]. J. Williams art gallery,
the inscriptions having been
executed By Mr.. Jacobsen and
the handsome frame furnished by
the Pacific Hardware Co. The
two Nimrods are simply magnifi-
cent. There might be some
doubt in the mind of the specta-
tor whether they are prepared to
hold up train, or whether the
slaughter of other peoples birds
is their real and only pastime.
Captain Black looks martial and
the expression in his eyes seems
to indicate that he. like the
lamented George Washington,
never, no, neyer-well never
mind about that Ratchet. Cum
ningham looks Cream Rye
and the dogs are really orna-
mental. The only fault we find
with the picture is that there is
no indication where the happy
hunting ground Is where such q
day sspnrt can be had. II would pro-
badly be of interest 10 many sports
to know something more definite
about the whereabouts Of Messrs.
Cunningham and Blacks shooting

TOPICS OF THE DAY.

The latest victim OF tie wrath
Of the Star aud its handful of
followers of mixed nstionslities
belonging to the club is Mr..
Cecil Brown member of the
Advisory Council. Mr.. Brown
has dared in open session to sug-
gest that the Executive Council
live up to the duties prescribed
for it in the proclamation of
January the 18th and run TIE
government without allowing the
assembled wisdom of the annexa-
ton club or any Tom, ID ek o.
Harry to dictate to it and TO bull
doze ii.
The Star calls Mr.. Brown
mugwump and a secret royalist
and throws out some dire threats
about calling a mass-meeting to
annihilate all the infidels who
refuse TO worship the club and
its prophet, the Star This mass
meeting business isgetting kind
OF monotonous. Let us have one
by all means and let US then
thoroughly investigate the mate
rial which will constitute the
meeting and which will support
the proposition of the Star that
the Executive Council and the
Government must take their in
structions from the interesting
individuals who run the club.
The Star may be followed and
supported by the 1922 Portu-
guese. by the drei-hundred and
by the handful Of petty govern
ment clerks who are trying to
play ward bosses now. But the
influential and respectable
element land remarkable to say
there are few of that
kind in the ranks of the
annexationists-will be of the
opinion that if Mr.. Dole and his
Cabinet haven ! got the conf
dence of their supporters in a
sufficient degree to do their duty
and attend to their business it
would be better for them TO step
down and out at once instead of |
being hampered and dictated |
to by an irresponsible crowd who !
think that they run the country
b cause they have been furnished |
with rifle and some cartridges. |

Mr.. tombstone is still on the
war-path against the despised
half whites. He compares the
increase OF them with the large
Increase in the class called Ha-
waiian born foreigners. He is
anxious to let the last mentioned
class appear as if it consisted of
Anglo-Saxons while he knows as
we'll as we do, that a very large
majority of them are Portuguese.
As the Portuguese are departing
gradually from here, and will
continue to do so, and as they
take their children with them.
Mr.t tombstone will find at the
next census a very marked de-
crease In the Hawaiian born
foreigners. The half whites on
the other side will keep on in
creasing, unless Mr.. tombstone
and the other haoles married to
Hawaiians should it take into their
heads to depart from bere-or
otherwise stop the increase.

For the Fair Ones.

The white of an egg is found to be
the best thing for reviving the leather
seats of chairs.
Whalebones which have become bent
and misshapen can be made "as good
as new" by soaking them few hours
in water and then drying them.
The season is just beginning for
chapped hands, with all their discom-
forts. If a little borax is added to the
wash water much is done to prevent
them.
Tomatoes or lemon juice make bad
stains, often upon ones clothing. This
discoloration can be easily and entire
ly removed by washing in solution
of weak ammonia.
Nothing is more beneficial to the hair
than daily and vigorous brushing, but
this entails sadly soiled hairbrush
every few days. If the brush is dipped
in ammonia water and then dried in
the sun it will come out as good as
new.
A neat contrivance is goblet-cover
to keep the contents of glass of med
icine, for instance, from dust. 1t is
made of circular piece of cardboard,
covered on the upper side with a
crocheted mat in white zephyr, with
loop in the center by which to raise
it.
1t is favorite fad just now to cover
a book with scrap of brocaded silk,
sometimes padding it by a layer of cot
ton wadding underneath. Two rib
bons are attached to opposite sides by
which to tie it together, and dainty
gift is formed which is Inexpensive but
rich in appearance.

GOOD AND BAD MONEY.
1t Is Easy to Discover the Difference Be-
tween Silver Pieces.

The methods employed by the gov
ernment experts to detect counterfeit
money are simple as they are infalli-
BILE. says the n. Y. World. Gently
posing a bright silver dollar on the
tip of the forefinger and with another
dollar in the other hand, a govern
ment expert in the treasury depart
ment the other day gave the first coin
a sharp click, which caused it to make
clear, silvery, ringing sound as long
drawn out and true to the final tone as
tuning-fork. Then exchanging the
genuine dollar on his finger for a
spurious one he repeated the expert
ment. This time the sound that was
heard was given by the striking coin
and died at once.
1t was not necessary for the detector
of good money to explain that the first
experiment was made with two good
coins and the second with good and
bad one.
The latter was composition of lead
and type metal, and very poor piece
of counterfeiting it was too. He said
that another reliable way to tell was
to hold the doubtful coin up to the
light, and if the reeding or milling on
the edge was even and clean cut the
coin would be good one; if rough
and irregular, it is almost sure to be
bad.
The reason for this is that the gov
ernment money is stamped from the
cold metal, while the counterfeit mon
ey is nodded while hot.
Still another test, but one less used
by experts, is to drop little acid on
the plated coin, and the eagle, where
the plating wears the most, will quick
ly be eaten away. The acid used for
gold coin is mixture of nitric acid,
six and one-half drachms; muriatic
acid, fifteen drops, and five drachms
of water; for silver-plated coin, twen-
ty-four grains of nitrate of silver and
thirty drops of nitric acid, with an
ounce of water, are used. One drop is
enough to test either metal. Should
the coin be heavily plated it is well to
scrape it bit before using the acid.
Silver is much more largely counter
feited than gold, for the reason that
it is hard to obtain cheap metal that
will compare at all in weight with
gold. Platinum used to be used, but
It's cost has so greatly increased in the
last few years that it is almost as ex'
pensiVe as gold.

CARPE IS

ABSOLUTE
COST,

We find we have much too large a
stock of Carpets to carry over. In or
der to reduce it, we have decided to
make horizontal reduction" that
will move them at once.
We are not prone to indulgence in
sensational head lines or extravagant
boasting, but " at this time and place"
positively assert that we shall place
lower prices on Carpets than they were
ever before sold for in Portage County
"a bona f1de cost basis.
"There is reason in all things" and
our reason for this sacrifice in price is
that we want the room for our Fall
stock.
Now is your opportunity. You will
scarcely have another such an one in
life time to buy elegant Floor Cover,
ings untainted with profit to the seller,
1t will pay you to anticipate your
purchases in the line of Carpets.
We mention in particular our large
aud superb stock of Body and Tapes

marked on them will meet your ap-
proval and cause you to willingly part
with your bottom dollar, if needs be,
in Carpet investment. just think
of it: An elegant Brussels Carpet at

Monkeys on Telegraph Wires.

A formidable antagonist to telegraph
construction in Mexico is found in the
monkey. The favorite diversion of
these animals when not in quest of
food is to betake themselves to the
telegraph lines for gymnastic exer-
cises. and linemen assert that often
100 able-bodied monkeys have been
seen swinging on the wire, festooned,
monkey-fashion, by looping their tails.
The continuous vibration of these for
est gymnasts starts the iron nails used
in the cross arms. and these often
come down, bringing the wire with
them. And it is not a safe matter to
undertake to disperse these robust
monkeys. Linemen have found that
on shooting monkey swinging on the
wire they have been pursued by a
whole regiment of monkeys.
