From MakaweIi to Eva.

David Douglas, the well known
blacksmith of Makaweli, with his wife
and children, arrived recently from
Kauai. Mr.. Douglas has occupied the
position of head blacksmith at Maka-
we'll Plantation for over four years,
and now goes to fill a similar position
at Eva. During their sojourn at Ma
kaweli, Mr.. and Mrs. Douglas have
made a host of friends who wish them
every happiness in their new home.
They will be particularly missed in
the social events in the District. The
complete success of a dance was never
assured without Mr.. Douglas able as
sistance as floor manager.
AS a blacksmith Mr.. Douglas stands
in the front rank, and has, by his skill
and ingenuity, solved many a puzzling
problem. His latest achievement is
the invention of a coupling, bumper
and link for cane cars.

HOW TO PREVENT PNEUMONIA

At this time of the year a cold is
very easily contracted, and if left to
run it's course without the aid of some
reliable cough medicine is liable to re-
suit in that dread disease, pneumonia.
We know of no better remedy to cure
a cough or cold than Chamberlain
Cough Remedy. We have used it quite
extensively, and it has always given
entire satisfaction.-Olag Ind. Ter.
Chief
This is the only remedy that is
known to be a certain preventive Of
pneumonia. Among the many thOus-
ands who have used it for colds and la
grippe, we have never yet learned of a
single case having resulted in pneu-
mOnia. Persons who have weak lungs
or have reason to fear an attack Of
pneumonia, should keep the remedy at
hand. For sale by all Druggists and

DIAMOND RING STOLEN.
Mrs. DIR. Walters Has Valuable
Article Taken From Her.

Mrs. DR.. Walters, of Lihue, Kauai
had a solitaire diamond ring stolen
out of her room, between 6 and 1870
O'Clock Monday evening.
Mrs. Walters is a guest at the home
of J. l. Dowsett, Palama, and occupies
the second room in the wing that eX-
tends out toward King street. She
was in at dinner with the Dowsett
family at the time mentioned, and had
left her satchel hanging in her room
behind some articles of clothing.
In the satchel was purse, containg-
ing a gold pin, So in silver and the
diamond ring in question.
When she returned from dinner the
room was found to be in a very upset
condition. Suspicioning that some one
had entered while she was at dinner,
she went to her satchel and found that
the contents, with the exception Of the
pin, had been taken. The thief was
evidently frightened off or he surely
would have taken the pin.
The matter was reported at police
headquarters yesterday morning, and
detectives were set to work at once.
Although there is no proof against
any one, a certain individual is being
carefully watched.

Forwards Sample Primary That
Speaks for Hamahua.
A very substantial evidence of John
NJ. Horner's ability to grow coffee in
Hamakua was received by the Adver-
tiser Tuesday. 1t is a primary cut
from a four-year-old Guatemala tree
with its secondaries, leaves and fruit.
In the letter accompanying the speci-
men, Mr.. HOrner says:
There are 45 more primaries on
this tree. The primary which [ for
ward contains CAT cherries. The tree
from which it was taken is growing in
Hamakua, Hawaii, 1000 feet elevation,
and shows the prolific growth and
fruitfulness of the tree, and also its
preparation for next crop, without be-
ing checked in growth. This, of course
is an extra specimen; but there are
others as good"
The primary will be placed on exhi-
billions in Wall, Nichols Company s
window today.

The Perilous Plight of a Soldier in Chi ts nese Thibet.
 F. An amusing story is told of the Eng fish officer who determined to enter Chinese Thibet by stratagen. He man., aged to cross the frontier at night, and so escaped the guard.
 On the following day, however, while the officer was journeying deeper into Thibet, the Thibetan soldiers overlook him, and informed him that as the country was unsafe because of rob- bers, they would go with him in order to protect him, to which arrangement the traveller was compelled to agree. In a few hours they came to a river, which was crossed by rope bridge. The Thibetans passed over first, in or der to show that the bridge was safe, and then the official got into the moose and was pulled along by the Thibetans, Suddenly, however, they ceased pull ing, and left the Englishman hanging in midair above the rushing torrent.
 In vain the officer shouted to the Thibetans to pull. They merely smoked and nodded their heads. The hours passed, and still the officer hung above the torrent. At last the Thibetans agreed to pull him back if he would leave Tibet immediately. This, of course, he was compelled to do, and took his departure from the forbidden land.

Nature Paints of Negroes.

A writer in Progress Artistique, il. discussing the music of south Africa, says the races living there possess to an astonishing degree the faculty of assimilation and imitation. They re- produce with surprising fidelity the songs of birds, cries of animals and the various sounds of nature. Child-people, they receive in their otherwise obtuse brains impressions of freshness and vivid intensity. Their long solitary wandering upon hills and prairies, unit ed with feeting association with for elgners, results in species of melodic nature plaints, as one might imagine, a developed monkey music.

A Predicted Result of Cutting the Isthmus

 ''The best scientific authorities pre- dict dire effects from the cutting of a canal through either the Isthmus of Panama or Tehuantepec. The late George R. Marsh said of this that "a new ice period might be occasioned by the withdrawal of so important source of warmth from the northern zones,' and Sir John Herschel wrote: Were the Isthmus of Panama broken through there is no doubt that the whole climate of our island Great Britain) would un- dergo a most notable deterioation.' The sum of $9,00O,OOO has been voted by the legislature of the state of New York for improving the Erie canal sys- tenn; the Hennepin canal has had $1,- 100000 spent on it, and work has stopped until new appropriations can be made. Matt Quay is using his influence for the construction of ship canal from Pitts burgh to Lake Erie, to cost $16,000,0 ,0OO, and ship canal from Philadelphia to New York, besides advocating the ex- penditure of $50 ,OO0, ,0OO in canalizing the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. One of the most stupendous of these engineering works is the Chicago drainage canal, now in progress, which is to cut the divide which bars the way between Chicago and the Mississippi river. The distance is only 30 miles between Lake Michigan and the Illinois river, and one can easily see the startling nature of d union of the great lakes and the father of waters.'"

A Pathet1cally 11uIloEous 0toiJ AoAu oA
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer. , A writer in the Detroit Free Press tells a pathetically humorous story of a friend of his, Jack Negly, Cumber' land farmer. The writer had lent Jack a few dollars, with which to buy pair of steers, and had received from him many visits of apology; for Jack was an honest man, and did not enjoy being in debt.
 He was a renter, and at least every other season he was occupying a diff ferent farm. By my advice, he had moved the year before into an entirely new field, dozen miles from his usual haunts, and I had not seen him for several months When I did see him, at last, it was by accident as business called me into his neighborhood. As I rode past his place he hailed me from the corn-feld and came cut to the fence.
 "Hello," I exclaimed. "Is this your farm?"
 "Yes, and jist come over to tell you, colonel, that I'll be ready to pay part of that clam uV your n afore long.
 "You must be doing well?''
 q think Pm doing fust-rate, and I'm powerful obleeged to you, colonel, fer headin' me this way"
 "Im always glad to help, if I can."
 q knowed that, colonel, and that's why I come away over here so fer frum home. Hits kinder strange to me, but ez long ez I'm doin' ez well ez am I'm a-goin' to stand hit"
 Are you making any money?"
 Jim's face frightened perceptibly.
 ''No, I ain't, colonel" he replied, hope. fully; 'but I'm losin' it slower'n I evcl done in my life afore."
 It struck me as rather odd at first, but upon reflection I concluded that Jim might have reason for his hopefulness

Pair Sample Of How the People VIII Vote
In November
A vote was taken on a Southern Pa
cific train from Santa Monica last even
ing, and as result 1t proved very dis
astrous fpr the Mckinley adherents.
Two young men became involved in a
political dispute, and the Bryan advo-
cate wagered the Canton Clam support
er $40 to S. that Bryan had a majority
of the votes On the train. The bet was
made, and the two principals went
through nine coaches and recorded ev-
cry one who appeared to be a voter,
with the following result: Bryan, 2S6;
Mckinley, 81; any gold standard Demo-
crat, 2; -cJmmittal, 4.
On a Santa Monica electric car going
to the beach yesterday the straw-vote
fiend got in his work, with a result of
- votes for Bryan and 9 for Mckinley:
~ votes for Patton for congress, 10 fol
Barlow and 5 for McLachlan. This
shows the way the wind is blowing.
A gentleman from Daggett says Nc
kinley will not poll ten votes in the
place, and in many mining towns the
alleged prosperity leader will not re-
ceive single ballot.
A well-known young newspaper ma,
who is an ardent supporter of BRYAN and
silver, bet a Spring-street confectioner
$500 to $4O0 that Bryan would beat Me-
Kinley at least $4,000 votes in California.
and the scribe also made a wager of
500 with Democratic gold bug that
Mckinley would not carry a single
southern state, Delaware being classed
as middle state.

SANTA MONICA, August 90.
F. W. Wood, Esq, Chairman County
Central Committee. Los Angeles, CAL
Dear Sir: l find that the Republican
party in this county, in spite of it's for
mer declaration in favor of bimetallism,
is now pronounced in its advocacy of
gold. In view of this fact. I feel that,
while I am still a Republican in most
of the questions before the country,
am so unalterably opposed to the Re-
publican plank on finance and so con-
WINGED that the money question is the
main issue before the people today, I
cannot give the hearty support which
you have a right to expect from a
county committeeman, and therefore
beg you to withdraw my name from the
county central committee and appoint
some one else in my place. Very truly,
ROY JONES.
