EXCITEMENT AT HIGH PITCH
Seattle Men in All Walks of Life Are
Rushing to Gold Fields.

Seattle. Wash, July 17.-Reports of great
gold discovery in Alaska have caused IN
tense excitement here. Policemen are re-
signing from the force. and every street

and relatives in the east TO come ana Join
them in the New Eldorado.
Tho steamer Portland, of the North
American Trading and Transportation
Company. is due from st. Michael with
81 900 COO of gold dust on board. She has
not yet been reported at Tatoosh, ana her
coming is awaited with intense anxiety
She Will probably arrive some time tomor-

WHAT Is 1T?
The Russell Staple Puller
and Wire Splicer

The Russell Staple Fuller
and Wire Splicer is a drop
forge tool, made of black dia-
mond tool steel, and embraces
six tools in one; weight, about
a pound, and can be carried in
the hip pocket with ease, 9
The six tools are as follows:
l. Double staple puller,
nails, etc.
2. Double wire cutter.
3. Double hammer, non
breakable.
4. Good wire splicer, for any
kind of wire, barbed wire in
Guided.
5. Good pair pincers, with
long leverage.
Good monkey wrench, for
plows, machines, etc.
The leading fence companies
throughout the middle and
western States have adopted
this tool for use in putting up
their fences, and recommend
it as the best tool of it's kind
in use.
1t is one of those tools that
while used in wire fence work,
yet might be called "house-
hold article" as everyone that
has used it claim they cannot
afford to be without it around
the house, barn and farm.
Ii other dealers tell you that
they have something that will
do as we'll and is cheaper
don't have it. Why? Because
no one or two tools are as
cheap as six.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1897-09-13

Again that utter falsehood about
the treatment of Hawaiians by the
people of the United States seems
to be cropping up. The Hawaiians
have ever been treated as equals
and with courtesy by their American
brethren. Hundreds of Hawaiian
ladies have travelled in the United
States and they have ever received
the greatest attention and the most
perfect Difference. Which of them i'll
the hotels of San Francisco, New
York or Washington has received
anything but the best accomoda-
tons and the most polite treatment.
Which of them, after trip to the
United States, has not wished to
repeat it? Had the treatment been
insulting would that wish exist !?
Hawaiian ladies both of pure and
mixed blood have mingled in the
very best society of those cities,
and hundreds of minor cities.
Notable Americans have chosen
their wives from here and, on settl-
ing in the States, they have taken
their social position as the social
equals of the best families in the
country. This harping on string
that the Hawaiian, by annexation,
will be socially ostracized is almost
wicked in its venom, Those who
circulate it know the utter untruth
OF it. but it shews to what desperate
straits they are driven when they
have to fall back upon statements
which have no foundation.
