POWDER ACCIDENT.

On the goth Geo. Kenikeni, a South
Sea Islander, met with frightful acct
dent while fishing with giant powder
on the shore near Honokohau, in the
district of Lahaina. His left hand was
so badly shattered that it had TO be
amputated, his chest was full of holes,
and he will probably be permanently
blind. He was alone when the powder
exploded and it was several hours be-
fore help arrived.
On the 21st he was taken to Lahaina
where DR.. Dawson and DR.. Peters at
tended him.
Kenikeni is married to an Hawaiian
woman. No lesson seems to be vivid
enough to convince island fishermen to
beware of giant powder. Here and there
all along the Maui shore, men can be
seen minus a hand or arm all from
the use of giant powder. This sort of
fishing is most dangerous, for the pow
der must be held in the hands until the
lighted fuse has almost ignited the ex-
plosive material, and it would require
superhuman judgment to always know
just the right moment for dropping the
powder into the water below.

temperament of our designers,

particular lines, are evident in
every JEWEL STOVE AND

A Jewel Stove or range is an
ornament to any home.
Further than that, it is intelli-
gently designed to meet all re-
quirements, and does meet them
successfully.
Quality-the very highest as to

sign-is guaranteed by the
Crown trade mark, which is cast
on every stove and range we
make.
It took us almost forty years
to build up the reputation which
stands back Of our trade mark,
reputation which grows wider
each recurring season. We pro-
pose to maintain it at any cost.
1t stands to reason that we,
with our immense plant, facili-
ties, and unlimited resources,
can build stoves in large num-
bers cheaper than smaller con-
Germs can in smaller quantities,
and with more limited facilities.

tones of discussion this week Both
teams are composed of the flower of
Walluku's young athletes and a swift

kahului comes to the front, a four
team league can be arranged for the

Tobacco Warehouse Assured.

Through the good work done by select
committee appointed at meeting OF bust
ness men and others in Council Rooms
last Monday afternoon, supplemental by
the generosity Of many of our public
spirited citizens, the establishment of a
tobacco warehouse in WatertOWn has be-
come an assured fact. Mr.. Nathan P.
Strause, the accredited agent for Wis
consin Of the American Cigar Company,
of New York, was here Thursday, and
met the members Of the Watertown Ad-
vancement Association authorized to act
for that body, and other prominent citi-
zens, and all conditions perfected for the
purchase and transfer of the Philip
Heinrich plant on First street to the
above named Company as donation to
induce the COmpanys location here.
The matter is virtually closed and it is
now certain that a big step has been
made in the right direction. Much
credit is due the gentlemen of the COM
mittee for their successful efforts, as
we'll as to those who stepped promptly
to the front and gave their financial aid
to an enterprise that promises such
general benefit to our citizens. The
soliciting committee have need of a
few more subscriptions in order to
raise the full amount they have in a
measure become responsible for.

COLORED FLAGPOLES.
Tall Stats of Red and Even of Green
Are Now Occasionally to
Be Seen.

"White is, of course, still the prevail
ing color for painting fagpoles," said
flag pole man, according to the New
York Sun, "but you seenowadaysm more
colored flag poles than you used to, and
don't know but what like the colored
fagpoles pretty well. White is, I sup
pose, after all the proper color for a
fagpcle. The white pole seems to
stand up more mast like and defiant,
but the colored pole is more pictur-
esque.
'The poles that thus far have been
painted in other colors than white have
most of them been painted red, terra
Gotta red. And in my judgment this
deep red is pretty good color for a
flagstaff. Red is a good color to stand
exposure; it shows wear less than
white does, and SO the people paint 'em
red.
LAS to green, that must say seems
at first like an odd and inappropriate
color for flagstaff surmounting a
building; nevertheless, pole in dark
green may be dignifed and slightly

tanning to green pole, namely, IL

one, to fine advantage. have in mind
one dark green pole upon the summit
of which, rising above the gilded me-
tallic fixture indicating the points of

trast with its dark green support
