That testimony was contradicted by an
other witness and the charges against Chief
Rogers were dismissed. But after that the
gamblers had utterly no use for Way. In
their opinion he had violated the ethics Of
the profession and was looked down on &C
cordingly. So ne quit gambling, not volun-
tarily, but because the gamblers would not
stand for his gambling.
Then he went into the saloon business.
He opened up on Second avenue south over
the Peoples theater The liquor firm which
staked him in this business venture, people

against Way and which he won in the
supreme court The suit ended Ways
career as a rum seller. but not before his
saloon had gained the reputation OF being

TAKEN FROM THE NEWS.
Some Clippings from the Live
Journal of Wailuku.
The following is taken from the Maui
News of May II:
New Forest Wanted.

1t is tradition of the Hawaiians on
Maui that at one time not so very re-
mote, forest extended from Wailuku
TO Maalaea Bay, running mauka of the
road to the very foot of the pail. That
entire section as well as the Makawao
and kula district, have been entirely
denuded of trees, so that the unfenced
portions are as bare and desolate as an
Idaho sage brush plain. 1t is hoped and
believed that one good result of the or
ganization of the Maui planters will be
to reset much of this territory with a
new forest. Such thing is eminently
practicable, and the good results which
will spring from it will repay a hundred
fold the time and expense which it will
cost.

DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP?

A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want some
thing that will relieve and cure the
more severe and dangerous results of
throat and lung troubles. What shall
you do? Go to warmer and more
regular climate? Yes, if possible; if
not possible for you, then IN either
case take the only remedy that has
been introduced in all civilized coun-
tries with success in severe throat
and lung troubles, "Boschee's German
Syrup" 1t not only heals and stimu-
lates the tissues to destroy the germ
disease, but allays inflammation,
causes easy expectoration, gives a
good nights rest, and cures the pa
tient. Try one bottle. Recommend

world. For sale by G. P. Wilder.
