BY THE REFERENDUM.
The Question of the Federation of
Railroad Orders Will be Settled.

Peoria, Ill, Oct. 15.-The conference
of the railroad brotherhoods did not
end until 11:1O o'clock last night, when
it adjourned sine die.
The conference decided upon plan
of federation which will be submitted
to all the legal lodges.
The report sent out to the effect that
Grand Master Arthur of the brother
hood of engineers, had blocked the con-
ference during his visit here Wednes-
day, has no foundation. The federation
idea has not been Endorsed in cOnven-
ton by his organization, as had been
done by the other orders, so that he
had no voice in the conference and no
authority to act had he been in it. He
had nothing, whatever. to do with the
federation conference, but came to at
tend a meeting of the council of the
five railroad brotherhoods to discuss
desired legislation.

II. W. Schmidt Gets Satisfactory
Report From Hamburg.


H. W. Schmidt has in his store in
the Won Holt block several small bags
Of coffee. picked from trees growing
on his Tantalus property. The trees
are practically uncultivated, but the
yield IS large.
Some time ago Mr.. Schmidt sent
samples of his coffee TO the leading
dealers in Hamburg. and by the last
steamer received a very satisfactory
letter in reply. The dealers report the
"pea-berries'' as worth "A $40 cents
per pound. less expenses. The unpulp-
ed berries are quoted al 20 cents per
pound. or about the same as in the
United States
While there is no advantage gained
in shipping such a long distance, Mr..
Schmidt thinks it may open another
market. and eventually create a riv-
airy which would result in better
prices for the Hawaiian coffee planter.

has only five acres planted in coffee

coffee of superior quality can be grown

Timely Talk.

With a steady rising Their
mometer heralding the APP
proach of summer, it be-
hooveS us to look about for
the means whereby we may,
in a manner, resist the OPP
pressive heat that obtains
here.
Prompted by experience,
we have secured a number
of NOVELTIES, which we
are sanguine will be appre-
ciated.
The Gem" Ice Shavers
have proved themselves the
most satisfactory on the
market. Every householder
should possess one.
Then we have a new thing
in Cold Drink Mixers with
strainers complete. These
are really indispensable to a
home. We have them in
both electro and silver plate.
Another motion" to which
we would call attention, is a
Cigar Ash Tray in electro
plate.
This little concern can be
attached, by means of a clip,
to any article of furniture,
and is as ornamental as use
full.
1t is quite surprising to
note the number of adver-
tisements that appear in the
daily papers, for lost OF
stolen dogs.
We have Collars to suit all
kinds of dogs, at all prices
and in all styles.
Save the cost of advertise
ments and present your pup
with one.
