from his friend i'll Honduras:
SANTA CRUZ, Sept. u, 1897.
FRIEND GEoRGE;-September 9TH a
party of boys consisting of BENZ. Salyer,
Geo Palmer, John Andre, Rob Wilson,
Frank Billings and myself went on a
hunting trip to the lake. We rode mules
and carried shot guns, rifles, revolvers,
hunting knives, blankets and some ex-
tras. Everything was smooth until we
were about half way there. Then we
came to bridge which had been partly
washed away. We repaired the bridge
bers hewed square, as we'll as possible.
| In going across we led the miles but on
returning we rode them. tt
When we got to the wood we found a
lot of timber blown down across the trail.
These the mules Jumped About mile
from the lake we left the mules with
some natives who lived there to be ready
when we returned. The rest of the jour
ney was made in two dugout canoes.
After padding awhile we lunched and
rested then we got ready for the remain
ing six miles to Senior Salyer's ranch.
On the way we saw plenty of gators,
shooting at two, also four brown ducks
of good size. The houses are built on a
front of land which extends into the lake.
The houses are situated in a very pic
tureSque spot. On the right and left
sides are large trees, in the rear is the
lake, beyond this mountain upon noun
tains rise from the shore some of them
for thousands of feet The houses were
built after the style of the country, large
and rOOmy.
One evening Palmer and went out af-
ter geese. We shot two and we could
have got plenty more if we had wished
but these were all we wanted to eat. We
were out hunting most of the time. Once
we killed large 'gater, also four turkeys
in two hours. Game and fish is very
abundant here. A man can catch enough
fish in one hour to feed ten men a day.
We went up the mountain one day and
1t was one of the finest views that | have
seen i'll Honduras. Another day we went
up the brook prOspe citing for anything we
could find. l slipped off the bank and got
thoroughly wet. | got some pretty speci-
mems of quartz, also some rock that had
different colOrs, red yellow and green,
and lot OF flint rock, Opals have been
found in this stream but we did not fl nd
any. All of us got wet at one time or an
other during our trip. We shot four
ducks, as ducks and geese roost in the
tree tops we shot some of these.
Two OF us went up on the mountain
again. We shot two turkeys, killing one
and wounding the other. One of the
boys stayed in the trail with the dead
turkey while the other went after the
wounded one. He started some wild hogs
and called to the one in the trail who,
! climbed up small tree near by. The
woods were full of them, one was brought
in that weighed 30 pounds.
They wished us to stay longer as we
could not they invited us to come in the
dry season.

best known from the mouths of men and
women whom it has made well-they are

No one can pass the newspaper bulletins
without being reminded by how slight a

The slight ups and browns in health from

that there is a limit to the bOdy's elasticy

of recovery and offers no resistance to
disease. a-

the best medical thought OF today, Care

are fiat on their backs as people one did.
The more intelligent part of every com
unity has found out the ineStimable bene~

Good Books make Good Business.
FRANK.

/ Few realize that the gentleman who
/ presents a cOmmendable book for con
! sideratiUn is only one of a vast army
of well equipped, well paid oalesmen
and that the better class of people all
over the country depend almost en-
tirely on their OppOrtune visits for
standard literature. 1t is estimated
that in the United States over 1000
statesmen are employed on books sell
ing for over $50 a set. During the last
year. Notwithstanding the business de-
preston and the presidential cam
pain, a conservative estimate places
the amount paid for these subscription
books at over $50, 000,000l The books
represented are of course the best in
the world. They include the works of
Scott, Balzac, Dickens Hugo, Rudyard
Kipling, and many other novelists:
the Encyclopedia Britannica, Century
and Standard Dictionaries, the Peo-
pies CpclOpedia, John Clark Ridpath's
Universal History, and other standard
works showing cCnclusively that the
cause of enlightened education was
not allowed to fall by the way side.
During this year many new standard
works have been announced. There is
a healthy tendency towards a wider
horizon and more complete under
standing of the world and its heroes.
So John l.. Stoddard's published Lee
lures in ten volumes; Prof. Sloan's
Napoleon a new History of the
United States" a new History of
Grants Campaigns" and other works
of like character are presented by the
representatives of the Balch Brothers
Co., 80 Bromiield ST., Boston, the lead
ing subscription book house of New
England. They are placing agencies
for the famous Mark Twain's new
book Following the Equator" and
they say that the advance sales on
this work surpass all expectations.
Messrs. Balch Brothers have n few
openings for well educated men and
women on their publications for which
an early application is nece ssary.

It may by worth something to know
that the very best medicines for storing
the tired out nervous system to healthy
Vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone to
the nerve centres in the stomach, gently
stimulates the Liver and Kidneys, and
aids these organs in throwing off impuri-
ties in the blood. Electric Bitters i'm

pronounced by those who have tried it as
the very best blood purifier and nerve

KAPEA KAIO, ACCUSED ASSASSIN
OF DIR. SMITH.
Kaio, the Elder, Rathburn and Upapa,
Also Protest 1nnocence-Trial has
Now Begun in Earnest.

The Circuit Court room was filed
with Hawaiians this morning eager
to hear the pleading of Kapea kaio,
the alleged murderer of DIR. j. X.
Smith, and his accomplices. The
prisoners were marched into the court
room some little time before the con-
vening of court. They were obliged
to wait until Nakookoo had been SEN
fenced for gross cheat before their
cases came up.
At few minutes past o'clock Ka-
pea Kaio, his father, Kaio. George
Rathburn and Upapa, car d their
chairs to the desk occupied uy \. g..
NJ. Robertson and Antoine Rosa, their
counsel.
lokepa kaio, a younger brother of
the accused murderer, was not pres
ent in court, he having turned states
evidence. Iokepa confessed that he
was with Kapea the night DR.. Smith
was murdered and held the horses
while his brother did the killing.
When called upon to plead Attorney
Robertson presented motion tnat
the trial of the defendants at this time
was illegal for the reason that Judge
Hardy of Kauai had no authority un-
der the law to call a special term of
his court. Antoine Rosa argued in
support of this contention, stating
that Judge Hardy had made a general
committal of the defendants to the
next regular term of his court. and
that special term was an after con-
sideration providing justice could not
be secured at the regular term.
Attorney w. a. Kinney. who with
S. NJ. Ballou, is conducting the pros
ecution of the case, argued to the ef-
feet that Judge Hardy had not exceed
ed his authority as the matter of IA
special term was wholly within his
Jurisdiction. Besides, the Chief JUS
tice approved the calling of the spe-
cial term.
Judge Perry denied that the pro-
ceedings of Judge Hardy's court was
irregular, and that the defendants
should plead
Whereupon Attorney Robertson
raised another objection that the In
dictment had not been properly drawn
up in the case of Kapea Kaio, accused
of killing DR.. Smith with malice afore-
thought. The offense had not been
two counts and further that the
name of DIR. Smith was omitted in
the second count and Kapea is
charged with general murder.
Mr.. Kinney, for the prosecution.
contended that the indictments We're
properly drawn up.
The court overruled the demurrer.
Each of the four defendants then
arose and pleaded not guilty to the
charge against him. The trial of the
defendants WAS tbpn bpUIIn i'm aorna.t
at II o'clock.
Before proceeding, however, the at
torneys for the defense objected to
Sheriff Carter and Deputy Coney re
naming in the court room. Judge
Perry requested of these officials that
they kindly withdraw.
Twelve Hawaians were j'0 ed in
the jury box, and the attorneys be-
gan their examinations. The work Of
empannelling a jury will probably
take up all of the day and Monday
morning will begin the taking of cv-
idence.

HOW THE 'gs SUGAR CROP Is TO
BE CARRIED.
Full List of the Vessels Secured to
Go Around the Horn-Amount of
Tonnage Engaged.

Eleven large vessels, with a total
carrying capacity of 10000 tons, have
thus far been chartered by the COM
bination to carry sugar from Hawaii
an ports to New York. From an au-
thoritative source the following list
has been secured: Nuuanu, Tillie 4.
Starbuck, w. +. Babcock. S. p. Hitch
cock, II. B. Hyde, George Stetson,
BENZ F. Packard, Iroquois, May Flint,
Edward May and Adam w. Spies.
This is the full list according to the
latest official advices from the Coast,
but that does not necessarily mean
that no more will be chartered In
fact Captain Curtis of the Tillie f.
Starbuck had personal letter by the
last mail, in which it was related that
the ship New York, owned by the
same firm as his own ship. has been
chartered to load sugar here for New
York. She is now in the Orient. and
VIII load merchandise there for san
Francisco before coming here. 1t was
given out bere some time ago that the
combination has contracted to deliv-
er $4,000 tons of sugar in New York.
of which $4,000 tons was to go by rail.
Now it is understood that 10000 was
the minimum amount and that it Is
likely great deal more will be sent
around the Horn, which would require
more vessels.
The Tillie f. Starbuck is now in
port, and the Nuuanu is due from New
York. The Babcock will be due from
Baltimore with a cargo of coal next
week. The other vessels are either at
or on the way to Pacific ports.
Sugar to go east by railroad will
be shipped, as before. in sailing ves-
sells for the present at least. No 9th
er plans have been made.

ception at Y. NJ. c. \.

At the present time the most pop
ular outdoor sport in the States is
football, as played under the inter-col-
legiate rules. \ few years ago this
same game was considered by a great
majority of people to be simply a
brutal exhibition of physical encoun-
ters between two gangs of young ruff
fans, who took fiendish delight in
shedding each others gore for no
other purpose than the editication of
bowling mob of spectators. This
remarkable change of public senti-
ment in regard to the game, was prln-
cipally brought about by those who
thoroughly appreciated the sterling
qualities of the sport, and understood
the rules. These patrons were thus
able to not only refute all adverse
criticism, but also to instruct the pub
lie in regard to the fine points and
possibilities of the game; until now,
its bitterest enemy is forced to admit
that the game does possess few re-
deeming features. Any fair minded
person will surely admit that there
must be some point of interest in a
game that will make fifty thousand
people pay good sum merely for The
privilege of standing for swo hours
on slippery bench in the slcet and
rain, straining their necks to carta a
glimpse of twenty-five bushy headed
collegians striving with might and
main for the possession Of ~ elusive
pigskin bag.

AUSTRALIA ELECTRICIAN AFTER
DAMAGES.
Arrested for Profanity and Beaten
by Patrolmen and Then Unable to
Get Hearing in Court.

Fred Mauer, the electrician of the
S. 5. Australia, is after the official
scalps of Patrolmen Kali and Kama
ka, and he will likely have a bill for
damages for false Imprisonment
against the government into the bar
gain. Mauer is the man who was ar
rested the last time he was in port
on charge of profanity, and given a
rather rough handling by the police
men named. His case was twice post
poned, and this morning nolle pross-
ed, against his earnest protest, and he
was anxious that the facts of the case
be brought TO the notice of the court.
Attorney Creighton is handling Maui
er's case, and when the Marshal re-
fused this morning to prosecute the
case. declared that he would procure
warrants for the arrest of Kamaka
and Kali, on a charge of unprovolled
assault and battery upon his client.
Mauer is very indignant over the mat
ter, for his reputation aboard ship is
that of a sober and quiet man. and he
was publicly disgraced and beaten.
without having an opportunity to
vindicate his conduct in open court.
Later it is said that Mauer will
bring suit against the Republic for
$4,000 for false imprisonment and in
jury to character. He says he will
make things red hot for the police de
partment.
