The managers Of the confederate
home at IIigginsville, issuing their
report for the year 1895, make
further appeal to The public that
has so generously aided the institu-
ton in the past. They show it to
be in a satisfactory condition, such
as the peoplo Of Missouri have good
cause to feel proud Of, says the Post
Dispatch.
One year ago there were but two
or three camps Of confederate vet
Grams in Missouri. There are now
forty-eight camps, and the COM
manding officers Of this organiza-
ton Of veterans naturally appeal
to the membership to do all they
can towards Sustaining their dis
abIed comrades at the home. Their
response will prove their generos-
ity, bat the general public, which
erected the home and has so well
sustained it up to the present time,
should not allow the entire burden
to rest on the shoulders Of the old
soldiers.
1t has been customary for the
county clerk and other county Off
cials in each school district to select
some person to read the address Of
the managers Of the home at the
April school elections. This arouses
public interest and gives those who
desire an opportunity to show thei1
sympathy for the home by contrib
uting to its support. 1t is desira
BE that the person chosen for this
task should be some one who viii
take a lively interest in the cause
The report for 1895 shows tha.
The home farm has been we'll man
aged. The new hospital built by
the daughters Of the confederacy o.
st. Louis is nearly completed. a
number Of desirable Improvement.
i have been made in the building
and the home is yearly becoming
more successful and more nearly
self-supporting. The people Of Mis-
souri, must see that this good recor'
is not allowed to be impaired to
i. lack of support in the future.

JEFFERSON CRY, Feb. 27, '96.
DEAR SIR: For some time past the
labor bureau has been in receipt of
numerous letters Of inquiry from
home seekers as to where they could
locate to best advantage in Missouri.
These home seekers are anxious
to know just what portion Of our
stateis best adapted for the particu-
lar industry, OF the particular line
of agriculture which they desire to
pursue. AS thus far this informa-
ton has not been complied by any
department of the state, have
determined to undertake the col
lection of information respecting
the resources and advantages Of
Missouri's ia counties. This work
is an addition to the regular. inves-
LEGATIONS Of the bureau and cannot
be completed without the hearty
cooperation of we'll informed citi-
zens in the respective counties.
If the information can be made
accurate and complete it will enable
the bureau to publish special pam
lphlet report on theresources of the
various counties Of Missouri; !
trust, therefore, you will aid in the
work BY calling attention to it in
| your columns, and by requesting

the authorities that Lucy, the Chinese

the Court to discontinue further pro-

but actual costs. Lucy was thereupon
promptly released and was provided for

he had no sooner rounded the Point
than he struck some of the worst wea-
ther he has ever experienced. 1t came
upon him so suddenly that he was sure
he had been struck by a tidal wave.
1t was impossible to see even twenty
feet ahead of him, but knowing the
coast so we'll and the time IL takes to
reach Honuapo and Punaluu, he was
aware of where he was all the time.
AT a. In. Sunday he was off Puma

any part OF the land. 1t was z O'Clock
before the Hall could distinguish land,
and when it cleared up bit she was or
Punaluu. 1t was entirely too rough to
land passengers, so they had to remain
aboard until II m, when the sea sub
sided somewhat and they were able to
get ashore.
The passengers were not in the least
alarmed, as they knew they were in
the hands of an able captain.
From the land people say that it
looked very much as If the Hall had
been struck by lightning once or twice
Early Sunday morning, before she had
come to anchor in her usual place at
Punaluu, Deputy Sheriff Yates was rid
ing along from Honuapo in the vicinity
of Punaluu Church. All of a sudden
there was binding flash of lightning
along the lava, which shot out right to-
ward the large buoy to which the Hall
ties up.
The roads were washed out badly.
The Peter Lee road is in a very bad con-
dition, and ought to be attended to at

Joaquin Cabral was in Chinese res
taurant on. Hotel street getting his sup
per and had left his hack hitched on the
outside
Pupuka came along, looked at the
hack, united the horse and jumped into
the front seat.
Just then Iokepa, a friend OF his,
came along and was asked to get into
the hack. This he did and Pupuka
Immediately whipped up the horse and
headed him toward Kakaako.
Arriving at a certain hIuse there Pu-
puka jumped out and went in while
Iokepa remained in the hack.
In the mean time Joaquin Cabral had
finished his supper, and after paying
his money walked out after his hack,
but it wasn't there.
Upon making inquiries he found that
his hack had gone in the direction of
Kakaako, so he in company with a
friend, set out on the trail and came up
to the hack at the place mentioned.
Just then Pupuka came out of the
house and upon being questioned by
Cabral gave a surIy answer, whereupon
the Portuguese took possession and all
four drove to the police station.
Once there Pupuka began to tell a
rather vague story of how he had made
arrangements with Cabral to keep the
hack for an hour. He had waited out
side in vain and becoming tired, had
concluded to take the hack home for
the night. He stated further that the
horse was not hitched.
Iokepa said that he was being driven
home, but since he had passed his home
when the Portuguese got to the hack
His story is hardly to be believed.
