THE KEROSENE TROUBLE.

That portion of the public
| of these Islands, who use
kerosene oil for domestic
purposes will, after reading
Fridays paper, feel symp-
toms of the same complaint
that attacked the foolish vir~
gins of ancient history.
1t is all very well to make
light" of the subject, but the
question is a serious one
and many merchants are bit
ing their thumbs over it,
while anXiouSly watching
for the lolani.
There is an old and true
saying that 'the man who
fails over the same banana
peel twice is a bit of a FOOL
and it is safe to say that a
considerable number of years
will elapse before a similar
condition of things will! pre-
vail here.
1t has always been our en-
deavor to "brighten things"
and "disperse the gloom"
generally, and our effort in
this direction caused us to
lay in a heavy stock of
Lamps, beside which Al
ladin's was pigmy.
For the adornment of the
lanai or prch we have the
famous Deitz lamp which
throws a magnificent light
and will need a hurricane to
eXtinguiSh.
The Tubular Street Lamp
is another fine thing for out
door illumination, an eco
nomiC oil burner and a
excellent light.
We have also Barn and Stable lamps.
Safe and up-to-date in every respect.
AS for Chandeliers-well we have hun
dredS of varieties either in 2, or q lights,
from the common TO the elaborate get
up" and Hall Lamps in almost endless de-
signs.

cine has enjoyed public confidence and
patronage to a greater extent than any
other proprietary medicine. This IS be-
cause it possesses greater medicinal merit
and produces greater cures than any other.
1t is not what we say, but what Hoods
Sarsaparilla does, that
Tells the Story.
All advertisements of Hoods Sarsaparilla,
like Hoods SarsapariIls itself, are honest.
We have never deceived the public, and
this with its superlative medicinal merit,
is why the people have abiding confidence
in it, and buy Hoods Sarsaparilla almost
TO the exclusion of all others.
Customers Want HOODS.
ave order Hoods SarsaparilIa in large
quantities and it is the only blood purifier
which druggist can buy in large quanti-
ties without risk. 1t is selling very rapidly
and customers who buy it once are sure
to call for Hoods the next time. We be-
lieve Hoods Sarsaparilla must possess
true merit in order to retain its popular
ity. Its sales exceed all similar prepara-
tions and its praises are often heard"

AcTIoN NEEDED

No adequate action has been taken to

to be no sufficient explanation of the

Comfort seems to be a myth so far,
or if it exists it is doing nothing.
The Committee of Fifteen
should either appoint new
committee or get after the old

up the rest of the programme.
B. Feigenbaum, an east side labor
leader, contributed to the serious part
of the entertainment a speech on the
unity of labor. Dancing wound up the
proceedings.
The attendance was not so large as
might have been expected, but the
strikers were made happy by the an
nouncement that large cigarette man
ufacturing syndicate had offered to give
all the strikers work if they did not
start the cooperative shop. There was
a good deal of mystery about this Of
fer, and it was said that the strikers
would meet today to consider it.

IN THE FOURTH DISTRICT.

J. w. Moore of Marion who was in the
city yesterday afternoon authorized the
Journal to say that he will be candi-
date for the nomina ton as a candidate
for congress in the Fourth district COM
posed of Butler, Greenwood, Woodson,
Coffey, Lyon, Usage, Wabaunsee, Nor
ris, Pottawatomie, Marion and Chase
counties.
II propose to do everything that 1 can
do to secure the nomination. said Mr..
Moore to the Journal reporter. Marion
county feels that in asking for this hon.
or that we are justly entitled to it be-
cause it is the only county in the dis
trict which is at all times and under all
conditions safely Republican. Marion
county gave majority of nearly 800
to the Republican ticket last year while
the majorities in other counties were
very small. In fact in majority of the
counties the result was very close.
Marion county has never had much
political honor conferred upon her. We
have been rolling up big majorities
there for years and for that reason
probably we have not been regarded as
legitimate subjects for assistance. The
county has had, so far as I know, but
one appointment under a state admin
iStratiOn and that was under Governor
Morrill, who made me a member of the
state live stock sanitary commission
but that was nothing. 1 did not want
the place but it was offered to me and
/ accepted.
''There are a number of candidates
for this nomination but I propose to
capture it if it is possible for me to do
so.''
Nearly every county in the district
has a candidate for the nomination.
Pottawatomie has B. H. Tracy of Wa
mego; Morris, ]. NJ. Miller of Council
Grove; Butler, Bent Murdoch; Wood
son, Senator G.. H. Lamb; Lyon county
has been talking about W. A. White
but he declares he will not accept the
honor under any circumstances.

DAVE NOT AMBITIOUS.
Young Mr.. Mulvane Not Can
didate for Congress.
Thinks Curtis is in Every Way
Satisfactory.
j. w. Moore, of Marion, a Candidate
for Congress In the Fourth
District

'I am not a candidate for congress in
the First district said Dave Mulvane
to a Journal reporter today. 81 am for
Charlie Curtis for reelection and be-
lieve he will be successful" he contin-
ued.
During the past few weeks Mr.. Null
vane has been connected with a fiat
tering boom for the nomination in the
First district and many Republicans
have encouraged him to make the race
but he has fatty refused to consider
such proposition.
THE first and most important reason
why would not be a candidate" said
Mr.. Mulvane by way of explanation,
lis that have no political ambitions.
THE second reason is that think we
nave now hrSt-claSS congressman ana
believe that it is our duty to send him
back for another term when the time
comes.
most interchangeable workers have ever
seen. L have visited Washington
number of times and 1 know how hard
Charlie Curtis strives to serve his con-
stituentS. He is a tireleSS worker and
a faithful representative of the people
in his district and 1 think it would be
grave mistake for any party to think
of shelving such a man and taking up
with new material.
Mr.. Curtis has become very prof.
cient in performing the duties of a con-
gresham satisfactorily to his people
and it is my opinion that such a man
should be continued in the service of
the people. He has had ample eXper-
fence; is one of the most conservative
and influential members of the lower
house and there is no reason in the
world why he should be turned down.
Il am not candidate, prospective or
receptive. 1 want to see Charlie Curtis
renominated and elected and believe
both will be accomplished" concluded
Mr.. MulVane.
