A CHARMING BIT OF HAWAIIAN SCENERY

and gold. chequered with the rose and
he azure of the bells of the convolvoli,
hat dangle from the Gordon of vines
hat engird it,"
The valley in the early morning may
DC clear of mists, and n soft mountain
breeze murmuring above the foliage,
out al times it is filled with the noise
ess ebbing and flowing of white vapor
Borne in from the sea, and out of this
shimmering sea of mist the towers and
ninarets of the mountains arise clothed
With MOSES and ferns, and draped with
garlands of eddying vines, that cover
the faces of the cliffs, and droop over
he edges of giddy precipices in cat
iracts of bloom" till they are swal-
lowed up in the white mists that
.hoke the vale, and blot the sides of
the bewildered hills"
Although sugar cane is indigenous
III Hawaii, little attempt was made to-
ward its cultivation until 1885, when n
plantation was started at Kauai, and
several sugar mills were built. These
mills were worked by the aid of mules
and oxen, and the process was slow
and iaboriouS. What a contrast to the
mills of the present day, where the
cane is taken and made into crystals of
sugar. There is no royal road to wealth
in Hawaii, and anyone who anticipates
such a condition had better stay away.
No man can go blindfolded and pick
up dollars in the streets, but no coun-
try offers n better opportunity and
final reward for honest, earnest and
constant labor. Especially is this true
in the coffee industry. The pretty
homes and coffee areas of Olaa are an
evidence of this.
Butter is selling in Hilo at one dollar
n roll. 1t is quoted in San Francisco
at l6 cents to "a cents pound. There
every field is as dry as bone In Ha-
waii every field is perpetually green
The dairy business offers n much bet
ter opening than any line of merchan-
dising. And as by-product to the
dairy. hogs will pay magnificently.
Pork is retailing at 25 cents pound.
The advertising columns of the local
papers tell a curious story of the
strangely backward condition of some
of the smaller industries Ex-Austraiia:
Peaches. plums. oranges, apples, grapes,
nectarines, lemons. celery. caulifiow-
ers, potatoes, cheese, roll butter, crab
apples. ounces, onions" These are

There was succession OF "Zipi Boom,

Quakers and their friends. The cause OF
it all was the fact that the Friends Uni

Both teams were in good FORM with a

The Condition of the State Institu=

DR.. VAN NUYS KNOWS
And ssTn the Name of Those Unfortunates i'm Our
Asyums,'' He Appeals to Voters For the De-
throning of the Leedy Gang.

Yesterday q citizen Of Wichita tele-
graphed Dr. J. ID. Van Nays at Butler,
Missouri, this question: do you believe
a vote for Governor Leedy is for the best
interests OF the state institutions of Kan
sas?"
Yesterday the answer was received as
follows:
I'm the name of those unfortunate
ones in our asylums. 4 answer No !;
and L appeal TO the friends of the
same in their behalf
-. ID. VAN NUYs, VI. d."
DR.. ]. ID. Van Mugs was citizen OF
Wichita some years ago. He was an in
telIigent, kind-hearted gentleman. His
friends were as many as mis- acquaint-
ances. He practiced medicine here. When
Lewelling was elected governor ne gave
Dr. Van Nuys place in a state institu-
ton. DR.. Van Nuys was not then a poll
tician and is not now. Lewelling never
made a better appointment. In fact Dr.
Van Nuys was so satisfactory that when
the Republicans won the state, because
Of his thorough competency, DR.. Van
Mugs was retained. He served a time IN
der Leedy. He knows what the horrors
Of the present administration are.
II any conscientious POpulist thinks he
will wrong Leedy by voting against him
because of the condition Of the state in
sdtutions, let him ask DR.. Van Nuys the
simple question: do you believe a vote
for Governor Leedy is for the best inter-
ests Of the state institutions Of Kansas?''
Some time go DR.. Wetmore exposed the
Topeka insane asylum. Governor Leedy
viii not mention the matter. A great
many honest Populists think that Dr.
Wetmore lied and that the state institu-
tons are all right.
Those people, before they vote for Leedy
with this honest belief. should telegraph
DR.. J. d. Van Nuys, formerly of Wichita,
now at Butler, Missouri.
The Populist leaders here claim that
Wetmore lied; that he waited too long;
that he should have exposed the condition
before.
But il anybody doubts the condition of
Leedy's state institutions, let him com
municate with DR.. Van Nuys, Butler,
Missouri.
The leading Populsts forget that
months before DR.. Wetmore was heard
from, Fred Sewers told of another state
institution which was rotten to the core.
Fred Sewers didn't wait. He told the
truth and lost his job.
But if anybody doubt still. let him com
municate with DR.. ]. d. Van Nuys, Butler,
Missouri.
The Populist leaders forget that from
one of the state institutions the boy Mil
Ter returned raw and bleeding from the
effects of fendsh cruelty.
But if anybody still doubt. let him COM
municate with DR.. J. d. Van Mugs, But

DR.. Wetmore is a good citizen, a man
who has lived in Emporia for a genera
ton. So high is his reputation that not
one Of the Populist county candidates in
Emporia Will say that Dr.. Wetmore was
mistaken. or defend Governor Leedy.
There is one county in Kansas, his home

BEES AND HONEY
They Mike Their Hive in the Chin
ney Of a House

Another interesting bee story has come
to light. this time in the resident portion
of the city. a few days ago. during the
cold snap, a chimney in the house at 43S
North Topeka avenue would not.draw.
Upon making an examination, it was
found to be occupied by family of hobo
bees, or better known os tramps. A fire
was started in the chimney from the top
to drive the bees out. After they had de-
parted an inspection was made and over
fifty pounds of smoked honey was taken
therefrom.
Tramp bees have been very numerous
throughout the city and surrounding out
skirts, This makes over 200 pounds Of
honey taken from rendezvous OF tramp
bees in the past week.
