The editor of the Dighton Herald

The editor of the Dighton Herald
received pair of socks as a Christmas
present and speaking of them says
"We are very thankful for the gift, but
as yet they contain nothing but a vast
and unknown void"
The idea of Kansas editor allowing
an unknown void" to occupy pair OF
socks over three seconds is so absurd
that we would like to enquire whether

son, or really has two pairs credit

Hrs PAINT PRESERVES.
Mr.. wagner's Preparation Insures Roofs
Fully Tested


Charles ]. Wagner Of this city, with
headquarters at the Office OF Sanders
Express, on King street, is manager OF
the Peerless Preservative Paint Com
pany, whose central Office is at San
Francisco. Mr.. Wagner has been in
business here since last spring, and has
met with great success. People have, in
that time, been able to witness the
results of using the Peerless Preserving
Paint, and it is growing in popularity
daily. Mr.. Wagner has already fulfilled
365 contracts, and in each case his work
and the preserving paint have given per-
feet satisfaction.
After numberless attempts to produce
a paint which would preserve and at the
same time protect, it has been left for
the Peerless Preserving Paint Company,
represented by Mr.. Wagner, to place
upon the market paint which by ex-
pertinent and actual use has fulfilled
every requirement.
One generous coat of Peerless Preserv
ing paint has been found To be equal if
not superior to four coats of any other
paint and its producers guarantee that
this paint will not scale. crack or run, 1t
being possessed of body when applied
in which there is no oil, spirits OF evapo-
rative substance, and it is guaranteed to
outwear any two applications of a
similar.
1t is non.combustible. Chief Hunt of
the Fire Department has tested it fresh
and old, and has arrived Mt the con-
clusion that it is the safest kind or ma
terial to have on a house. In fact upon
a single roof its fire proof qualities are
one of the chief advantages, as it rem
ders the roof impervious to sparks,
which may fall upon it in the dryest
season without the slightest injurious
effects. One application will preserve
roof, no matter how old. from the act
ion of the elements. One application
will make metal roof last forever. 1t
will prevent both rust and decay.
No charge is made for examination of
roofs or estimates. Prices for the work
are moderate, and roofs upon which the
paint has been applied are guaranteed
against leaks, cracks or runs for period
of five or more years, according to the
age of the roof. At the end of the time
the Company will renew it's guarantee
for 10 per cent per annum of the amount
OF the original contract
MIR. Wagner has at his office a large
number of testimonials to the merits of
the Preserving Paint which form inter
esting reading matter. A call upon the
gentleman will be edifying, and will
certainly result in gaining information
of thing which will soon work a re-
volution in mixtures for roof painting.

OAHU WAS SHAKEN UP.
PARTICULARS SHOCK ON THE ISL
AND THIS MORNING.
People Frightened-PrOf.
Lyons Report.

A severe earthquake shock was
felt in this city at 1928 this morn
ing. People were aroused from
sleep and in some quarters natives
became very much frightened. AT
Lunalilo Home, and in that neigh
borhood, the shock was most severe.
Inmates of the Home were greatly
alarmed. In different parts of town
glass was shattered from windows
and clocks were stopped. In some
places the alarm in clocks went off
adding to the fears of people who
were awake. At Waiauae and
other parts of the island the shock
was very sensible.
Professor Lyons stated this morn
ing that the shock was the severest
felt here in twenty years. About the
year 1874 heavy shock was ex-
perienced on this island. The
Professor believes that the disturb
ance comes from Hawaii. He be-
lieves they have had a severe shock
on the big island. One was felt
ten days ago. This he thinks, is
the outgrowth of the disturbance
there.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-The Times this

Hiroshima, Japan, giving the report of
Field Marshal Count Oyama, whose
army captured Port Arthur. The report
says:
THE second army began the attack

The spoils are abundant and include a
specially large number of guns and a
quantity of ammunition. The Chinese
garrison at lowest estimate was %, 900

A Chez Foo dispatch to the Times
says: Port Arthur is still burning.
Twelve Japanese warships have been
seen there. The Chinese fleet is at Wei

A dispatch sent from Port Arthur via
HwangJu, TIL ursday, has been received
here. 1t states that the Chinese fought
vigorously. The japanese lost 2j0 men,
killed or wounded. The Chinese loss
was over 1000. The dispatch adds that
for over a fortnight past Count Oyama's
army has been steadily marching in two
divisions down the peninsula to Port
Arthur. No organized resistance was
offered by the Chinese troops for three
quarters OF the march. Since, however,
there were occasional brushes with the
enemy.
Guns were dragged up and fire opened
on a strong redoubt 1000 yards distant.
The enemy returned the fire briskly.
The japanese infantry advanced against
a well-directed fire without faltering.
Shortly before o'clock the fort was

Two Chinese gamblers were ar
rested by a native policeman Sun

a charge of assault and battery was
entered against them. They
double-teamed and beat up an in

affair took place at the den just

they were his prisoners. The two
men then pounced upon the in
former and belabored him over the
head. Though scratched and

SPEECHES AND A PARTY.
A CARNIVAL SEASON IN THE PoRTU
GUEsE COLONY.
A Great Historical CHARACTERIZATION oi
Invaders-Honor to n Coun-
try's Heroes.

Saturday, December 1st, was what is
known as Portugals Independence day.
1t was the 254th anniversary OF the up
rising which resulted in the expulsion
of the Spaniards from the Kingdom Of
Portugal. At home, in the colonies,
Madeira, the Azores, Brazil and else
where, the Portuguese have big cele
bration on December LIST. They meet
and have speeches. music and dancing.
The speeches are for the most part his
torical, ending with patriotic utter
ances that are received with great en-
tbusiasm.
The day was observed here in regular
form. The entertainment proper took
place at Brito hall from Z 80 O'Clock in
the evening. Mr.. j. S. Ramos was
special master OF ceremonies. About
200 people were present. The Concordia
band was in attendance and played in
the yard. part of the Quintette Club
furnished music for the dance. The hall
was decorated with the colors of Portu-
gal and flowers. Messrs. Canavarro
Dias, Paul Neumann and Silva occupied
4
| time up to o'clock was spent in gem
eral conversation and then the speaking
began.
Signor d'Canavarro was the first
speaker. His address was almost wholly
historical. He reviewed the events
which led to the uprising in Portugal in
1910 and the progress of the revolution ;
he told how prosperous Portugal had
been prior to 1880, and how it had suf-
fered under sixty years OF Spanish
tyranny. He said, however, that Eng
lisll- speaking people misunderstood the
reasons for celebrating December LIST.
They called it Portugal's independence
day. 1t was not that. Portugal has
been independent for 997 years" said
Mr.. Canavarro. "The day simply marks
the expulsion of the Spaniards from
Portugal; and that is what We cele
brate."
Mr.. p. A. Dias made short historical
address. He dealt with the PHILIP
dynasty, including the assumption o
power by the Duke OF Bragauza, re
ferred to the bravery and patriotism o.
Luiz de Guzman and OF the grand ex
PLOTS of Riberio. His remarks were
loudly applauded.
Captain Camarra was then called
upon for an address. He was sitting il
the audience. The military man hac
not expected to be called upon, anC
therefore, in few well chosen remarks
excused himself. Captain Camarra'i
few remarks were received with grea
enthusiasm.
The orchestra entered the room anC
took position at one end. While thu
music was in progress light refresh
ments were passed around. This over
the dance began and lasted until l.
O'Clock.
