for machinists. Cooks receive from So

These seem very good prices for labor,
but you must remember that all manu-
featured goods are very expensive and
that the cost of living as an American
would want to live is quite high.
Rear Admiral Joseph Nelson Miller,
who was sent by President Mckinley to
formally take possession of the islands,
is in command of the Pacific squadron
and has recently been stationed in the
cruiser Philadelphia at San Francisco.
The rear admiral is fitted well for this
honor not only by his rank and splen-
did record, but because he is highly es-
teemed by all classes in Hawaii. From
August, 1897, to May of 1898 he was
stationed at Honolulu to guard Ameri-

GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONOLULU.
commissioners to Hawaii have already
been named but they cannot hold office
forever and your turn may come some
day. When it does, you will be glad
that such islands exist, for Honolulu is
a very nice place to live in, especially
when you get big salary for living
there.
If you are interested in the refining
of sugar, which you probably are not,
the annexation of Hawaii means lot
to you.
If you are one of those fortunate peo-
pie with time, money and a desire to
travel, here is new field. A limited
number of tourists annually take a
glimpse at Honolulu, generally ON their
way to the orient. But there is much
to be seen in the Hawaiian Islands be-
sides the capital city, and when enter.
prising Americans get to running win
ter resorts and steamer lines travel there
will be very comfortable indeed.
You can go by steamer from San
Francisco to Honolulu in from six to
seven days and your ticket will cost you
$40 for first class or $50 for steerage,
or you can take cabin passage on fine
sailing vessel and have two weeks
trip for $40. There are about 20 miles
of railroad lines on the island of Ha-
waii, but they are little used for pas
senger service.
II you are business man with some
capital, you will be interested to hear
that Hawaii offers fine openings. At
present there are few manufactures
there, the principal industry being the
management of plantations. Factories
of the right kind would probably prove
better than gold mines.
According to q recently published
report by Consul General Haywood,
Hawaii at present imports almost ev-
erything she uses, aside of course, from
sugar, coffee and fruits, attention hav-
ing been almost exclusively given to
the raising of sugar, all of which, aside
from that consumed in the islands, is
exported to the United States
If you have only your two hands and
no capital, stay away from Hawaii I'M
til you are offered position there The
market for all kinds of labor is over
stocked, and it would be very unwise
for any one to visit the islands with no
capital on the mere chance of obtaining
employment.
Wages on the plantations, including
house and tirewood or room and board,
range from $l25 to Sl75 per month for
engineers and sugar boilers, $50 to $l00
per month for blacksmiths and carpen.

There have been recent notices i'm
the papers of the death of a woman
near Pawnee City at the age of 100
years. Not the least interesting thing
about this remarkable woman, espe-
cially to Nebraskans, is the fact that
she had resided in this state for about
forty-five years. Her age is a first
class advertisement for the beneficial
qualities of our climate. She was
born IN Kentucky. in the year IT'S, as
nsar as it could be ascertained She
could remember hearing people talk
of Washington's first Inauguration, at
the time it took place, although she
was not present at the place. Her
maiden name was Deiiah Edwards.
John Edwards, her grandfather, lived
i'm New York. William Edwards, his
laa was the oldestgly Ouc.oag-r fab
son, had ten children, of which Deli
lah was the oldest. The youngest was
the father of John Edwards, who now
lives near Pawnee City, at whose
house Delilah passed the last years of
her life. When first married she was
living near indianapolis, Ind, and she
was there when that city was laid out.
Three times she was married, the
names of her husbands being Stiles,
Schoolcraft and Cromwell The latter
was DIR. Cromwell, who was in the
Nebraska legislature at one time. AZ
ter living in Indiana, Mrs. Stiles went
to Illinois and thence moved to Ne
braska about 1853. During thirty-six
years she lived in log house near

and after that time she lived alone,
