MILTON.

There Is one thing noticeable in Milton
and that is, business is done on safe bust
ness principles. Other towns may boom
at times and people flock to them and 60
away again, but Milton is founded on a
rock. A business failure is seldom heard
of. Business men live, pay their rents, bills,
etc and are seldom visited by the consta-
bic or sheriff.
Presiding Elder Adams preached to a
large and appreciative audience in the M.
E. Church Sunday evening
Counselman & Fisher up to date have
canned one hundred and twenty-five thous-
and cans of peaches and are still at it. The
tomato crop will be very short this season.
TOmlinson & Atkins have had their
large drler put in prime order preparatory
for drying the late varieties of peaches
Within the limits of Milton there are up
to date fifty-seven widows We only have
about twelve hundred inhabitants in all.
The Nj P. Mite Society metin the church
asst Monday evening.
One of our townsmen visited the Odd
Fellows Temple in Philadelphia the other
day. and says it is the largest secret society
building in the world, and that it is too
arge to keep secrets in.
There are four loafng corners in Milton
ind on Sundays all who pass must run the
gauntlet of scrutinizlng eyes, critical re-
marks and squirts of tobacco. A word to
he wise is sufficient.
All the camp meetings, beach parties, ex-
ursions, and watermelon Shindigs, will
ave a tendency to increase business with
he Clerk Of the Peace this autumn.

proposition to change present meth
DDS of taxation, you eyade the ques-
ton and attribute unworthy motives
to the proposers, as a rule they will
leave you and in the future give you
a wide berth not on account of your
prowess on which you price your
self, but rather on account of the Of
fensiveness Of your method Of var
fare.
l have read with pleasure your
plans of reform advocating small
farms for the surplus city popula-
ton; do you think it would be in
good taste or good sense to dismiss
your proposition by a wild un-
founded assertion that n shyster
from Sykesville was the head hire
ling of a syndicate who wanted to
work off unstable land on an unsus-
pecting public? Yet that is the po-
sition you prefer to take in discuss
ing the Single Tax.
Your plan of getting people back
to the farm would be more speedily
under Single Tax than at
present desirable land now held idle
would be forced into the market,and
the farm would seek the man; farm
ing utensils being untaxed would be
cheaper. and untaxed improvements
would encourage the improvers. 1
cannot think you are so blind as
not to see this, and when you advo-
cate small farms for the people in
one breath and in another cling to a
system that taxes them in proper

industry, ! think you are guilty of
what you accuse Single Takers of

HOUSEKEEPING LINENS

Have you thought of it
what supremacy in linen sell
ing on our part means to
you?
First. Best linens; because
our linen buyer is among the
looms a good part of the year
and he picks with educated
care. Absolutely nothing but
pure flax goods gets past our
doors.
Second. Best prices. There's
not a linen maker of repute or
merit but is anxious to do his
part to share our orders. That
means that we buy linens at
times and in quantities to give
us and you the best values.

'In opposing general amnesty the
Advertiser has said that some people
out OF Jail are instigating opposition
to the present regime Suppose
hey ares Did our contemporary
ever know of a government any
where that did not have opponents2
The present Government OF Hawaii,
however, has provoked more than
ordinary political autagouism by its
small, mean ways of dealing with
people who refuse to admit that it is
the best administration that this or
any other country has ever been
blessed with. This Government has
no enemy that will do it more harm
than the Advertiser in its attitude
toward the political prisoners. That
paper virtually says that the Gov
ernment is afraid to let parcel OF
crushed conspirators out of jail for
fear they will start some fresh plot
against its-xisteuc-. The Advert is-r

There should be no questions of

shoulder to shoulder.
The President of the Board of
Health states that no physician has
been refused permission to visit any
whore. He also complains that in
vitations to some physicians to be
present at their deliberations have
not even been acknowledged.
There is NO PROHIBITION on

in mind.
Hawaiians--and all others-should
soc that their food is we'll cooked

especially raw fish, is dangerous.
Those who have eaten it so far, have
paid the penalty.
Pia, (Hawaiisn native starch) and
guava leaves and young shoots Chew
cd or made into teS are said to be
good for bowel complaints.
No water should be used for drink
ing unless previously boiled.
No case of suspected cholera or

should be at once reported.
Respect all quarantine regulations.

feeling or to raise it.

NO POISON.

Hawaiians (by some of their So
called friends) are becoming per.
suaded that, the medicine admins
tered to cholera patients is poison,
given for the special purpose of deci-
mating the race. Whatever mistakes
the Board or its doctors may make
thcy don't deliberately try to poison
people. Every death of Hawaiian
or otherwise-causes more scare in
their own houses and those OF their
friends than it does anywhere else.
Tho stories are pure lies. The doc
tors are doing their best to cure
every one. They don't want to run
the chance of dying by contsgion
any more than the rest of us

A further meaning Of mai okuu is
the sitting disease" because, as
stated by old Hawsiians Of 1903 and
aud 1904, and handed down tra1i
tionally, anyone caught by the
disease, whether on the way or in
the house, would always be in a sit

life would be extinct. Such is an
other of The INDEPENDENTS interpre-

say that there is no similarity be-
