Rev. Iri R. Hicks ls not Dead,

Kew. lrl X. TICKS ~ nol o'os~
Notwithstanding widely current
rumor that the Rev. 1rl r. Hicks was
dead, he never was in better health
and never did a harder and more sue
cessful years work thah that just
closing. He has just completed his
large and splendid almanac for 1902
and, with his staff of able helpers, has
brought his Journal "Word and
Works." justly forward into int1r-
national reputation. For a quarter
of century Mr.. Hicks has grown in
reputation and usefulness as the peo-
ple's astronomer and forecaster of
storms and the character of coming
seasons. Never we've his weather
forecasts so sought after as now, his
timely warning of serious drouth
this year having saved the people
from loss and suffering. Millions OF
bushels of wheat were harvested by
his advice to plant crops that would
mature early. The American people
will certainly stand by Prof. Hicks,
when it costs them SO little and the
benefits are SO great. His fine alma
mac of 200 pages is only 25c and his
splendid family journal is only 81 q

STOLEN IALIARLES FOUND

David KAPPA of the local detective
force has done some good work in the
recovery of a quantity of jewelry which
was stolen last Wednesday from the
residence Of Wan Sang on VINEYARD
street In addition to the ieweIry,
which is valued at $40, cash to the
amount of $3.50 was stolen The money
has not as yet been recovered
Inc circumstances attending the rob-
berry We're of such a character as to lead
the police to believe that il was com
mltted by some person who was ramil-
lar with the habits of the Wan Sang
family. The head of the house is the
manager of the Kula Pork Packing
Company; he is absent from home dur
ing business hours Ordinarily his wife
remains at the house. but on Wcdues-
day evening about $50 o'clock she went
to the Chinese Theater. Her husband
returned a few minutes after O'Clock.
He discovered that some one had enter
ed the house and robbed the place Of
the money and jewelry. All Of these
articles We're seCrcted i'm a wardrobe in
his bedroom. The tewelry consisted of
bracelets, earrings, rings and Chinese
ornaments, and belonged to his wife.
They were of solid gold.
The theft was reported to the police
David KAPPA came to the conclusion
that the robbery must have occurred
between the time that Mrs. Wan Sang
left the house and her husband return
ed, The wardrobe in which had been
concealed the Valuables was the only
place that showed any signs of having
been searched. Evidently the robbery
was committed by some one who was
both familiar with the hiding place of
the valuables, as well as with the move
ments OF the Wan Sang household on
the day of the theft
A careful search of the house failed
TO locate any of the missing articles.
Evidently the thief must have gotten
Wlnd or the fact that the police sus-
pected him, for yesterday when David
KAPPA went to the Wan Sang house to
make another search, the jewelry,
wrapped in a handkerchief, was found
under the house of Wan Sang. There
was no money with the jewelry. Not
even a receipted bill for the stolen cash
was left. The detectives are working
on the. case and expect to apprehend the
robber as we'll as recover the money.

Peru For the Coast.

The Pacific Mail steamship Peru
completed discharging her cargo for
this port at the Quarantine wharf yes
terday afternoon. and get away for
San Francisco shortly before Z
o'clock last evening. While in port
the Peru left about 500 tons OF freight
from Japan and China ports. She
took on ESQ tons of coal, to help out
her supply for the trip to the coast.
Three thousand punches of bananas
we're taken as freight. while a dozen
or more cabin passengers we're taken
for San Francisco.
The Japanese to the number OF 210
who were brought by the vessel for
the various plantations. were taken
from the vessel yesterday morning
and sent to the quarantine station for
probation. The through passengers
of Asiatic extraction numbered less
than fifty.
The Peru also had aboard sixteen
sailors from the Brooklyn who are
returning to the States. and while the
vessel was in port. devoted their
spare time to sightseeing.
The officers of the Peru and the
Oceanic steamer Alameda indulged in
a considerable amount of good-natur-
ed chatting regarding the first vessel
to arrive at San Francisco The Ala
media leaving this afternoon at (
o'clock. and will therefore depart
twenty-one hours after the Peru. In
spite CT this marked difference in time.
there were several who had the hardi-
hood to prophecy that the Alameda
would reach the California port short
" before the Pacific Mail liner. II is
generally believed, the weather per-
hitting. the Peru will not allow the
Oceanic boat to beat her to San Fran
cisco.
