Last evening an agreement was
reached with Contractor Nickerson IN
relation to the condition OF the gas

buy the spud to be used in efforts 20
recover the lost drill at an expense OF
$500. MIR. Nickerson is to use his
best efforts to secure it and then is to
drill deeper. II the drill is not re-
covered settlement is to be made on
the basis Of the original contract

Salt water has risen in the well to
within fifteen feet Of the top, and Mr.
Nickerson thinks the stuck drill has
been holding the water back.
The stockholders Of the company
are being seen to ratiiy the commit
tees action which will undoubtedly
be done and the tools ordered at once
to resume work. Abilene people
would like to be sure that prospects
here for gas or oil are no good pu
will not be unless a deeper well is pu

DEATH BY SUICIDE.
Capt. John shollsnbsrgsr Eds His
Life in Philippines.

The suicide OF Capt John Shollen.
berger OF the Tenth United States In
fantry now stationed in the Philip
pines, is a severe shock to his many
friends here where he frequently Wis
tied. He was brother Of Mrs. j. W.
Felty. The sad news was received
by his wife and three children at their
old home at Birdshoro. Pa, who were
visiting there preparatory to leaving
for Manila to join him.
The death will cut short the ar
engagements Of Mrs. Shollenberger and
family who had all their belongings
ready to sail from San Francisco in
two weeks.
Captain Shollenberger ended his
life by shooting himself while on duty
at Iligan, on the Island Of Mlndanao'
Dependency, it is thought led to the
act.
The captain was born at Hamburg
and was appointed to the Military
academy from Pennsylvania in 1879
He was graduated four years late'
and was assigned to the Tenth lnian
try as second lieutenant. Serving
since with that regiment, be rose t

10 AGREEMENT REACHED.
Gas We'll Affairs Considered Saturday
Night.
From MONDAYS Dailyl

tFrom Mondays Daily
The committee appointed to confer
with Contractor Nickerson on gas
well matters held meeting Saturday
night and discussed the pros and cons
fully. The committee thought an
agreement had been reached as they
offered to pay 500 more than the or
iginal agreement il the drill was got
ten out and the well put down to
| 900 feet or 1900 feet. MIR. Nicker'
son would not guarantee the finding
o: the drill but offered to accept the
81, $50 already paid in full payment
Of the present hole if a new contract
for another well was entered into
He claims that .he present hole is too
small at the top for further casing
and that the derrick would have to be
made higher. No agreement was
reached and no one knows what the
outcome will be.
Contractor Nickerson is severely
criticised by members Of the commit
tee for holding out no hope in regard
to the prospects, yet before the drill
was lost be claimed the prospects
were Of the brightest and that he wa
prepared to strike either gas or oil.

STATE DAIRY COMMISSION.
Kansas Wants Arrangements Tor
Helping the Industry.

For some time the dairymen 'arm'
or, Of Kansas have had under consid-
Grafton plau to form State Dairy
commission for the purpose OF foster
ing and promoting the dairy industry
Of the state. The project is being
pushed by the Kansas State Dairy as.
ISOLATION, an organization composed
Of most Of the prominent farmers and
dairymen Of the state, and the organ
ization which has heretofore Gone
most Of the lay work for that industry
in Kansas. Secretary Thomas Bor'
man, Of the association, when asked
as to the plan and scope OF the move
meut furnished the following intor-
nation which will be valuable to
every one who is interested IN the
idea;
1.-The dairy industry Of Kansas
might be called a velvet industry as
il has been built out OF what was Tor
centuries wasted in poor methods,
said Mr.. Borman. lone might say
that nine-tenths Of all the millions
now being received by the farmers o.
Kansas for butter has been actual!
saved to them by the growth OF tne
business. The business is mert
youth OF fifteen years growth, but II
lusty, vigorous and full Of promise 0
an early manhood. By sheer force o
an inherent adaptability and natura
advantages, though hamPered by 'g
uorance and kept down by neglect
the industry has forged ahead unit
now the earning capacity ofthi' grea
branch OF the states resources ha
mounted into the millions annually
at is now considered time TO rec
ognise this great industry, as
should have been recognized year
ago, by the establishment Of a burea
which will have charge Of and pre-
mote it, and establish uniform line
OF culture. 1t is fact little know
that Kansas has no dairy laws an
less provis' n against impure food
than any state in the union. Tbel
are Just two small articles in all he
statues relating to the latter an
these merely provide penalties for tt
adulteration Of milk and vinegar.

making giant efforts to keep pa

HOME RULERS
TAKING TIME
Will Not Rush the Campaign.
Making a Close
Canvass.

Home Rulers are so confident OF sue
cess that they viii not make any cam
paign at all. until they have found
surely that the name of their candidate
is on the official ballot, and also until
they have heard all the arguments to
be advanced by the Republicans. The
meeting of the executive committee
last evening was a large one and the
discussion as to the work to be done
was thorough, though it was not pro-
ductive of decisive plans.
There was about a quorum present
when the work was taken up, but as
the very first thing 70 be done was the
passage OF resolution placing the man
agement of the campaign in the hands
of the central committee, the executive
body had little to do but talk over the
general methods which are expected to
carry the day for the party. The con-
sensus was that little dependence
should be placed upon the effect OF OPP
en- air meetings. There will be certain
meetings held. but there has not yet
been arranged a program for these
III lne Slcdu Ol SuGn SaInSTlnRS
the committee has decided that the en-
tire district shall be canvased for the
purpose of bringing out a poll of vot-
ers, and as well persuading those of
the Home Rulers who are thought to
be faltering in their party allegiance.
The executive committee has divided
the city for the purpose Of canvass
ing, and the men who are polling the!
voters are also placing before them the
points which have been decided upon
by the leaders. as those which will
bring TO the party the greatest number |
of voters.
The most important point which is !
being urged by the Home Rulers is
that the developments OF the past show I
the necessity for the Hawaiians to get !
together. The agents OF the central /
body of the party have been pressing !
this point and are working with it upon ;
all those who are susceptible of such in
1uence.
While there has been much talk of a /
great meeting of the Home Rulers at 4
the Fish Market on Saturday after
noon, Prince Cupid said last evening
that nothing definite had been decided
upon. and that nothing would be fixed
before today. 1t is likely that there will
be several meetings tomorrow and Mon
Jay and Tuesday evenings.

ALL HARD
At WORK
Republicans Will
Press the
Fight.
GREAT MEETING
FOR SATURDAY
Every Branch of Work Progresses
Except Collection Of Funds
for Campaign.

| The Republicans are as hard at work
| in the fight for the carrying OF the
| Fourth district now as they can be.
IN every branch. except. perhaps, that
OF the citizens who are usually expect
&c TO furnish the sinews for the cam
paign.
The only committee which seems to
be backward in Its work is the finance
body, the members OF which are report
! ing hard work to discover business men
who are anxious to make heavy contri-
buttons. Plans for the carrying on of
the fight are being altered in the light
of these facts, and while there was an
estimate at the first of the week that IL
would take from $1,000 to $500 to make
the contest it is now said that all the
necessary expenses may be cared for If
$3.50 is assured.
The committee which is making the
many of its agents are already making
canvass OF the various precincts of the
district, for the purpose of absolutely
locating every vote and knowing just
how great is the strength Of the party.
The chairman of the committee, w. c.
King, is receiving much encouragement
in the work, and the progress is fairly
satisfactory to him.
There will be two meetings held this
evening, though the places have not as
yet been decided. 1t Is expected that
one will be in the vicinity of the car
barns on Beretania street, in Punahou,
and the other in the Makiki district.
The greatest turnout of the campaign
is expected for Saturday evening. The
large meeting of that evening viii be
at Emma Square. There will be band
in attendance and the speakers viii be
both Hawaiian and English. They will
be also Republicans, Home Rulers and
Democrats recently converted, and ma
l:hinis men who though they cannot
vote will talk of the conditions in the
old States.
Plans are being arranged for great
meetings on Monday and Tuesday
evenings, and there seems no reason
why there should not be even greater
gatherings at the close of the contest
than there have been yet.

They knew nothing Of gold signs and
by mere accident ran across some pros
pectors, who put them on the trail that
led TO fortune. They PANIED Up a GER
tain creek near their ranch, following
it to its source and finding gold In in
creasng quantities the higher they
went. In their explorations they reach
ed a gloomy canyon, where the rum
bling OF the waters and the roaring OF
the wind were so continuous as to re-
semble the rolling of thunder The
canyon led them into an extinct crater,
at an altitude Of 1900 feet above the
sea, and here their ears were stunned
by terrific thunder peals and their eyes
dazzled by the play Of lnccssant light
ming flashes, The persistent peals Of
thunder caused them to give the place
the distinctive name - and that was
only last year-of Thunder mountain,
by which 1t as well as the district of
which 1t is the central feature is now
known.
In the old crater the Caswells found
vast amounts Of free gold held in por-
pbyry rock or decomposed quartz. They
had $4,000 worth Of this remarkably
pure gold assayed at Boise city and
sold for 100000 claims which are now
held for million
This, In briefest outline, is the story
of Thunder mountain and It's wonderful
region Of gold, toward which at present
thousands are hurrylng with the ex-
pectation Of returning laden with treas
