Prompt attention to bust
ness has been the secret of
success by many business men.
A superior stock of goods and
prompt delivery when we sell
them is bringing us as much
trade as anything. Usually
people don't order groceries
until they need them; our
wagons are always ready to
deliver the goods.
In the line of table delicacies
Frankfurter Sausages rank
with the best goods imported
to the country. Chili-con-
carne is another for those who
can make a meal of Chill pep
pers without shedding tear.
Picnic Lobster, Vienna Sau-
sage, Cocktail Salmon, Oxford
Sausage, Baritari Shrimps,
Huckings Celebrated Soups
and Clam Chowder serve to
satisfy the taste Of those who
hunger for delicacies.
But for a breakfast dish
Shredded Cod Fish takes the
cake. Here's how to fix it:
Mix with one cup hot mashed potatoes
(unseasoned) y cup Beardsley's Shred.
ded Goldfish, just as it comes in the box.
Add to this one small egg and speck
of pepper, beating all till light and
creamy. Shape, roll in dried bread
crumbs, dip in beaten egg, which has
one tablespoonful of milk added to it,
then in crumbs again. Place in frying
basket, fry in deep hot fat, just below
the smoking point, till rich brown.
Drain on brown paper.

different active, figure-head, advisory,
associate and contributing editors in
Honolulu said to themselves when
they say the plan sprung" in the
Advertiser, "Why in thunder didn't I
think of that before?"
In these days every county in the
United States after properly establish
ing its debt sets up an exhibit to
prove that the particular locality eX-
plotted eXcels any section of the globe
for farming, mining and climate. All
states go into the field on much
larger and more pretentious scale.
And it always pays. The object les
son is the most forceful and convinc-
ing of teachers. The casual visitor,
the traveller for pleasure, the likely in
weston, expect to find these eNpositions
and depend upon them.
To the display suggested by Mr..
Marsden, who has letters patent for
scheming in this direction, The Star
would suggest that there be added a
school exhibit, with the material now
on hand at the Summer School for n
nucleus. Altogether the showing
should he such that callers will be
given the impression that Hawaii IS
abreast of the times in industry and
education.
1t is not violating a confidence to
say that The Star has been told that
Professor f. A. Hosmer, president of
Oahu College, proposes to establish a
miniature sugar plantation at that in
stituton. He has the "Kuleana" on
this idea and others are warned off.
They have the land there and it only
remains for some one of hundred cit
liens who are able and probably will
ing to come forward with a check for
the plant. Then a visitor can be
shown sugar mill and cane fields on
the city transit line.
Finally, The Star would say that full
advantage is not being taken of the
present facilities for entertaining and
instructing steamer passengers.
Especial reference is had to the Bishop
museum. 1t is not sufficiently adver-
tised.

can be changed from a solid
stream to a spray while pump
ing. For Nurserymen, Coffee
Growers, it is of special value,
in as much as it will throw a
stream from 40 to so feet thus
reaching high trees, or those
which cannot be reached in a
shorter distance. 1t will
thoroughly spray a ten acre
orchard in a day. The spray
ing pump can be changed to
an agricultural syringe (for
Florists) or from an agricultu-
raj syringe to a veterinary
syringe. All parts are inter-
changable and each is complete
by itself. Everything screws
together and can be taken
apart readily and cleaned. It
is impossible to clog the nozzle
1t is the best, most powerful,
easiest working and cheapest

With each of these pumps

BY this token The Star humbly and
earnestly requests mysterious disap-

enough to turn up earlier in the day
hereafter. Upon no less than three
occasions now the news department
of this great journal of commerce., ag-
Ticulture, religion, science, education,
and politics has been very much an

stranger will be the cause of the EN-
barrassment and he will not be let off
so lightly as have been old-time ac-
quaintances and subscribers. Gentle
men given to the mysterious disap-
pearance" habit should think a mo-
ment of how they aggravate such an
enterprising paper as The Star by
their present practice. After man Is

OF course The Star does not begrudge
the Advertiser its only item of the fol-
lowing day, but by virtue of the rights
of the discoverer, conceded the world
over, The Star should have the priv
ilege of first announcing the return of

It's so hard for man to understand that
a womans estimate of feminine good looks
because it differs so radically from his
isn't actuated by jealousy or spite.
Yet | don't suppose this is true in two
cases out of ten.
We can't see women as men do.
We look-at least | know | do-for well
formed features, fine teeth, pretty hair, in
fact, for the details, before we think wo-
man pretty.
But man will call snubnosed, dumpy
woman good looking if she possesses a
snowy color, "flashy" looking hair and the
nameless something in her personality that
attracts his sex alone
l suppose it's all natural enough, but
these little differences of opinion have been
the cause of many domestic discussions

MCKINLEY ON MONEY.
(Bradstreet's.)


Mr.. Mckinley is growing more pro-
nounced in his expressions upon the
money question as the campaign pro
crosses, and before long he may be as
vigorous in his expressions as his as
siciate on the Republican ticket, Mr..
Hobart. In a speech at Canton Mr..
currency would work disaster to the
interests of the people, and to none
more than those of the nottingham
and producers. What we call money,
with which values are measured and
settlements made. must, he said. be as
true as the bushel which measures the
grain of the farmer and as honest as
the hours of labor which the man who
tolls is required to give. The one must
oe as full and complete and as honest
as the other, oar currency today is
good-all of it as good us gold. IT IS
the duty of the people of the country
he said. TO stand unitedly against
every effort to degrade our currency
or debase our credit. They must unite
now as they have always united in the
past, in every great crisis of our coun
try's history. He recalled the fact
that when the country seemed wildly
bent on initiation preceding the re-
sumption of specie payment, the sober
sense Of the American people, without
regard TO party, united and stemmed
that threatened tide of iI'redeemable
paper money and reputation, and
placed and kept the nation on the rock
of public honor, sound finance and
honest currency. and he suggested
that similar action should be taken
now.

On last Thursday morning the city
fire bugs had an opportunity to exer-
else their powers. Some outbuildings
and stables on the south side of Dad
Straw's business house were fired which
spread rapidly over considerable sur
face. At first it looked as though the
large red livery barn on the south was
doomed but the hose came upon the
scene in time to save 1T. 1t only re-
quired few moments to get the fire
under control and not much damage
was done. The alarm was spread by
pupil from Prof. Messerley's room
and Ii. A. Burnett broke the glass and
touched the button as signal for En-
gineer Updegraff to put on pressure.
When the fire was yet in its lncipient
stage Rev. Engle freed big fat porker
in the rear end of the burning building
and with some assistance Mr.. Pork was
landed on the other side of the dead
line. Dad Straw is the owner of the
hog. Burke Dorgan deserves credit for
liberating some chickens which were
also incarcerated, but some of them
took the wrong route to get out and
consequently were roasted alive. 1t is
not known how the fire originated.

A PAINFUL ACCIDENT.

Last Friday evening at about s o.
clock w. S. Watkins accidentally shot
himself in the right hand with a 49,
calibre pistol. The ball entered be-
tween the third and fourth fingers and
made exit at point on straight line
midway between the little finger and
wrist. The bullet mutilated the hand
terribly and it Is feared that the hand
will never again be perfect.
The accident happened In Burnett's
store where w. S. is an employee. The
pistol had been in the money drawer
for some time and Bill didn't know
1t was loaded'' and in looking after
some accounts for a customer pick
ed the gun up and tried to break it
at the breach for Inspection by him
self and several bystanders. While do
ing this he must have carelessly pulled
the trigger and in moment more the
bullet passed through his hand and into
the shelving. But such old guns
as this one invariably turn out to
be the most dangerous of weapons,
this one Being an old one shot deringer,
and while 1t is to be regretted that Mr..
Watkins met with this accident, yet
it is fortunate that the shot took effect
| in the hand instead of the body.
He was removed to DR.. Moore's Of
flee where the wound was dressed and
Mr.. w. is getting along nicely consid-
ering the extent of the wound. One of
the great misfortunes of the affair is
that he will be necessarily idle until
the lacerated member heals which, in
these times, is something that most of
us can Ill afford to do. We extend Mr..
Watkins our sympathy and hope for a
| speedy and perfect recovery.

KiOwa Review: Last Sunday night
while Walter Brannan was going after
DR.. Cloud he noticed smoke Issuing
from the windows in Franklin school
and on vestigation it was found the
building was on fire. An alarro was
given and In very short time hun
dreds of people were on the ground
with buckets ready to battle with the
flames. The fire proper was located il
the north end of the cellar under the
front steps. 1t was necessary to break
the flooring to get at the fire, which
was done with large rocks, the only
available thing handy. 1t looked for
time like the heroic efforts of the men
could do nothing to save the building,
as there was nothing to battle with the
fire fiend but bucket brigade and it
looked like the finest school building in
western Kansas was doomed. But by
we'll directed work Franklin school, the
pride of KloWa, was saved and the
damage will not be large. The origin
of the fire is mystery, as there had
been no fire down stairs since Wednes
day. Some human yulture had DELHI
erately lighted match to some rub
blsh with the purpose of destroying the
building and if he is ever caught there
will be an example made that will
check others inclined to incendiarism
Last night while the wind was
blowing 80 miles an hour fire was dis
covered in the barn of VIM. Hender-
son in the southwest part of the city.
One horse, two cows, four hogs, two
buggies and some wet goods were in
the barn. The horse was roasted be-
fore he could bo removed, the COWS
were both burned in a horrible manner
and may die. No one knows how the
fire started. The boy had just MIXED
and says he had no matches; The barn
was total loss. Insured for $780,.

laid his gun down; when he attempted

gun and when he picked it up, he in
some way, touched the trigger with TIT

Plums, pears and currants are in bloom.
and prospects are good for full crop of fruit.

The case of Beals VS.. vandivier for tn g pos
session of the Garrison farm has been appeal

Both sides seem confident of winning.
On Sunday afternoon Bro. Ingle of the
Christian denomination baptized six persons.
The meeting he is holding appears to gain in
influence as it progresses. The audiences are
larger notwithstanding the busy time of corn
planting. few others have confessed faith
in Christ and will probably be baptized next
Sunday.
