you AND YOUR WORK

We are all the time hearing men
and women, too-talk like this |:
"My work is too much for me it
worries me and wears me out it
upsets me so I can hardly eat, drink
or sleeps" and so on. Once in a
while, no doubt, that is so; but com
monty, it is not their work that
is too much for them, but their poor
health, their weakness. They are
out of sorts in any one or more of a
hundred ways. Condensed the idea
is this: Bad Digestion, Thin Blood,
Loss of Strength and, perhaps Flesh,
Tendency to Fret and Worry over
small things, Melancholy, Lack of
Courage to attend to details and
face risks, etc. In two words, low
vitality. What is needed is short
course of Wampoie's Preparation
made from Fresh Livers contain
ing the active medicinal principles of
Cod Liver Oil, the Hypophosphites
and the Extracts of Malt and Wild
Cherry Bark. 1t is tonic stimulant
built on the right lines. Pleasant
to the taste, it drives out disease
germs and makes the blood rich. red
and full of constructive elements.
You grow warm, strong and elastic; and
soon find you are enough and to spare) for
a dead medicinal past, the Preparation
does not boast of its age, but of it's ex-
cellence. Sold by all druggists.

KINDERGARTEN AFFAIRS.
Bazaar to Aid the japanese Branch
\ Resignation.

There was a good attendance at the
visors of the Free Kindergarten and
Children's Aid Association in Queen
Emma hall yesterday. Mrs. Charles
NJ. Hyde presided.
The resignation of Mrs. j. 7. Water
house as chairman of the Hawaiian
Committee, was presented and accept
ed with regrets. Mrs. Warehouse will
leave for England next month. A sue
cessor for her place on the Hawaiian
board will be chosen at future meet
ing of the supervisors.
The kindergarten work at Maemae
has been discontinued. This has been
brought about by the opening of the
Government school there and the ac-
ceptance of the younger children.
This action on the part of the Govern
ment has lessened the need for a kim
dergarten at Maemae.
The Japanese Bazaar will be held
at Queen Emma hall Saturday after
noon. The proceeds will go for the
benefit of the japanese kindergarten,
japanese primary school and Japan
csc reading room. The grounds about
Queen Emma hall will be transformed
into typical Japanese scene on this
occasion. Booths will be erected and
Japanese articles and flowers sold, tea,
coffee and refreshments will be, served
and show representing japanese
characters will be presented.
The Foreign kindergarten was
moved during the month to Mrs. f. C.
Damon's premises on Beretana street
Any parent of children who are at
tending the kindergarten is requested
to contribute to the fund if possible
for him to do so. All monies must be
paid to the financial secretary and are
to be paid out by the treasurer.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL
WILL ULTIMATELY BE BUILT BY
UNITED STATES.
Interview With Hon Warner Miller
The People Want the Canal and the
Demand Is Increasing.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 16.--Ilon.
Warner Miller is at the Arlington. He
will remain in the city several days
looking after the welfare of the Mic
aragua canal project. He said that he
had little doubt but that the canal
would ultimately be built and con-
trolled by the American Government.
The people want the canal" said
the ex-senator, 'and the demand for
it is constantly increasing AL over the
country. They not only want the
canal, but they want the control of it
placed in the hands of the Govern
ment, which would be the case should
the bill introduced by Senator Morgan
become a law. 1t is not, of course, eX-
pected that the present Congress will
do anything with the bill, but if an
extra session is called Morgan will re-
introduce the bill and | believe it will
be passed. 1t provides that the Gov
eminent shall have ten of the thirteen
members of the board of directors,
which would practically make the
canal Government institution. AS to
the question of subsidy the canal and
Pacific railroads are not parallel cases,
for in the latter the Government ,as
practically no voice III the finances,
and it would have all to say concern
ing the canal.
You may depend on it that when
the bill comes before the next Congress
it will be there for final disposition,
and if the Government does not see fit
to accept the opportunity for control
ling the canal, European Governments
will gladly avail themselves of the
chance. The Nicaraguan canal should
belong to this country, and the people
will be more than displeased if at any
time foreign power should build and
control it,"
1t is not improbable that Senator
Sherman will signalize his term of Of
fee as Secretary of State with the in
auguration of the real work of build
ing the canal. 1t is known that he has
no faith in the ability of any corpora
ton to build that waterway. Senator
Sherman said in a recent peech:
Il should be very glad to Sc another
treaty made between Nicaragua and
the United States which would provide
for the completion of the canal-some-
thing that would be acceptable to the
! United States aforementioned then
we should proceed to deal with the
canal precisely as we have dealt with
the great canal upon Lake Superior
and the other public works of our
country"
The speech is taken eX-cathedra. 1t
is believed to be the first outline of
what the next administration policy
will be with respect to interoceanic
canal on the isthmus.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen.
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and /
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and l take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light; send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want,
We have complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received lot of the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 3.-W. ]. Bryan
gave the following statement to the
associated press to-day:
"The returns are so incomplete that
it is impossible to discuss yesterdays
election in detail. The Republicans
everywhere indorsed the Republican
administration, and, in view of losses
sustained by them in almost every
state, it would seem that Republican
policies are not being indorsed at the
polls. The sentiment in favor of the
Chicago platform shows a healthy
growth throughout the country. Per-
haps our opponents will now admit
that silver Is not dead.
"The attempt to secure international
bimetallism has proved failure, and
it is now more apparent than ever
that the people of the United States
must legislate for themselves on the
financial question. Free and unlim-
tied coinage at 16 to is nearer now
than it was a year ago. High tariff
upon a gold basis has disappointed
those Republicans who look to it for
relief.
"Taken as whole, the returns are
very encouraging. I think voice
the sentiments of Democrats, Pop
ulists and Silver Republicans when /
say the fight will be continued with
even more earnestness until the gold
monopoly ia broken and the money
trust is overthrown. The fusion
forces increase their percentage in
Nebraska and probably their actual
majorit.-W. ]. Bryan"

Big Stock Shipments.


The big Boston exporter, Mr.. Hath

best cattle on top of dirt. When he
wants an especially fne lot of cattle
with the big fat on them for the Lon
don Christmas market, he gets off of
the train at Centralia. He bought
cattle here last year last year and was
so well pleased that he came back
again this year. Here is complete
list of the bovines that he will ship out
of here the last half of November:
Sam Craighead, 104 head at S5.15.
Shan Brown, rs head at $5.15.
Jim Sims, "a head at $5.10.
John Campbell, 6S head at $5.05.
w. R. Mcbride, 81 head at $500.
W. A. Showers, Ill head a $5.
R. Cook, 15 head at $5.
In addition to the above j. Fl. Starr
has 215 cattle included in this deal,
making grand total of over 700 cattle
that will average over 1000 pounds
and all bought at prices ranging from
$5 to $500. This will constitute the
best string of cattle ever shipped
from one neighborhood since the
morning stars sang together. They
were bought at prices 5000 above
the market this week. To MIR. J. n.
Starr belongs the credit for engineer
ing the big deal. These cattle are fed,
as will be noted by consulting the
above names, by the big feeders of
this section, men who always have
the best and get the top prices, and
include the best cattle in the country,
save Joe fuckers 8 loads, which were
too fat to hold another month and
