HUNDREDS OF
WHALES SIGHTED

When the steamer James Makee was
OF Waianae yesterday morning, on her
way to port, she passed an immense
school OF small whales which are
known to the hunters of the great
mammal as blackfish. Purser Lyons
stated to reporter that there
must have been 500 at least of them
travelling in string a mile long. They
were proceeding leisurely in the dlrec-
tion OF Kaena Point and were close
into shore.
The blackfsh Is the ca'ing or pilot
whale, the grindhval of the Farce
Islanders and Norwegians. In length
they are about twenty feet and are

cept a line down the belly, which Is
grey.

ROSE DAWSON
IN A RUNAWAY

Miss Rose Dawson, assistant secre-
tary Of the Board Of Education, had a
narrow escape from serious injury yes
terday morning, through the breaking
OF the pole In her buggy, and as a re-
suit she Is now nursing several bruises
and wrenched wrist. Early in the
forenoon she was driving down Puma
hou Hill behind her span, when sud
denly the pole gave way. The horses
were startled but she held a tight rein
and prevented the buggy parting from
the pole. Just At that moment the
horses SHE'D at workman digging a
ditch on the side Of the road and
started to run, An electric car was
also approaching and the only thing
left for Miss Dawson to do was to run
the horses and buggy up on the bank.
As soon as the buggy struck. Miss Da-
rison Jumped, but tripped and fell,
hurting her wrist and tearing her fesh
In several places. The reins slipped
from her hands and the horses bolted
and ran to the Club stables. The buggy
was smashed and one OF the horses
was badly Injured.

HOLDS TO HER FARM
Mrs. Margaret Sheeler Would Rather
Take in Washing Than Sell.
Oner of Rich Men of $4,000 for Hel
Twenty-Five Acre Tract Near Out
ing Grounds of Wealthy Club
No Temptation.

A washerwoman who wears wooden
shoes when she wears any at all has re.
fused to convert her modest belong.
ings into $4,000 cash. She wouldn't
know what to do with fortune if she
had it, she says.
The woman is Mrs. Margaret Sheel-
er, one of the pioneer settlers in the
one of the most picturesque characters
in the community. In the summer she
goes barefooted and in the winter her
rough wooden shoes are sufficient.
She works in the bayfield, on her 81
acre farm two miles northeast of Lake
Forest, milks half dozen cows, keeps
neat plainly-furnished cottage of si1
rooms, and takes in" washing.
: Efforts of rich men to buy the prop
erty and Mrs. Shelters refusal to ac-
cept the liberal sums offered for it
have brought the woman into prom
inence she resents. In the simplicity
of her nature she cannot understand
the desire of others to possess her
land, and has chained vicious dog at
the entrance of her house to keep Wis
itors away.
The first attempt to buy Mrs. Sheel-
er's place was made several months
ago. Several men who wanted to build
summer residences on it offered her
$1,000 an acre for ten acres. The farm
is situated a mile north of the Onwent-
STA club on the Green Bay road, and on
account of its desirable location it was
the intention of the prospective pur-
chasers to lay it out into private
park. Mrs. Sheeler refused the offer,
giving as an excuse that she did not
want to cut up her property.
The same rate was then offered for
the whole farm, and the widow was as
indifferent to this proposition as she
was to the others. Last week a man
went to her with an offer of $4,000
for the place. He found her swinging
a scythe in bayfield,. She was bare
footed and bareheaded, and stopped
work reluctantly to allow him to talk
with her.
II do not want to sell my place." she
said when the visitor introduced him.

But am offering you s4o,o 900 for it
That is much more than it is worth"
ut is worth SO much to me that
shall keep it," Mrs. Sheeler replied
You might as well move along"

REBELS SURRENDER.
Colombian Government Forces Win
a Great Victory.
GEN. URIBE-URlBE Is A PRISONER.
Force Under the Revolutionary Lead
err Yields After n Fierce Engage
ment in Which Both Sides
Lose Heavily.

Panama, Oct. 29.-The revolution
airy general, Uribe-Uribe, with ten
cannon, $500 rifles and 100000 rounds
of ammunition, has surrendered to
Gen. Marjarres at Rio Froi, near
Santa Marta. The revolutionary
forces under Gen. Uribe-Uribe, which
were defeated October IA at La Glen
aga, retreated to Rio Froi and took
up positions there. Gep. Marjarres,
with 1000 men, proceeded against the
rebels from La Cienaga and engaged
the enemy two days ago. The gov
eminent general succeeded in sur
rounding the rebels and forcing them
to surrender. Gen. Castillo was with
Gen. Uribe-Uribe.
The news of this victory was re-
ceived here by Gen. Perdomo and
Gov. Salazar this morning in tele-
gram from Gen. Marjarres. Details
OF the engagements are lacking, but
heavy casualties on both sides are
reported. The surrender of Tribe

The medical profession has discov.
cred and classified numerous disease
germs, but these discoveries have not
been Of very great benefit to mankind.
DR.. Koch knows tuberculosis germ
when he sees it as well as horseman
knows a horse, but consumption goes
right along decimating the race about
the same as it did before the doctor
was born.
1t is probable that the little living
microbes, which make their appear
ance during certain diseases, are no
more responsible for the disease than
the maggots are responsible for the
wounds in which they appear. The
poison which causes disease microbes
now known to the medical profession.
1t Is not improbable that after the
poison has made its attack, nature
sends this little microscopic agents to
cleanse and clear away the dead atoms
OF the body. The poisons which are
the enemies of life may vet be far ont
beyond the borders Of he unknown.

Behold the candidatel He cometh

race busted. His friends fill him With
false hopes and atmosphere. He swell
leth like toad and calleth the earth
his'n. He smileth upon mankind and
sloppeth over with good humor. He
kisses the children and scattereth the
microbes among innocent babies. He
privily cheweth Glove when he meet

with him in pious tones he standeth
and curbeth his breath with a strong
bit. He goeth home late at night to
his weary wife with a berry breath,
he hiketh forth, without breakfast,
saying, i go to see a man. The dead
beat who lieth around in wait then
pulleth his leg. He 'naileth a lie, ,
but before election day comes he rum
meth out of nails. He giveth literally
to the church; he subscribeth a goodly
sum for the blind; be contributeth to
the man whose barn was burned; he
bestoweth aims; he signeth bis friend
mole, he sendeth small keg hither
and a large key thither; he yieldeth
up his substance with apparent alac-
rity. After the election he goeth out
back OF the barn and kicketh himself
and teareth his hair and calleth him
self a rotterdam fool.

Farmers and Linemen Fight.

Rochester, N. Y, Oct. 29.-The
sheriff Of Monroe county, with five
deputies, was called to Mumford
Tuesday to quell a fight between
farmers and gang of telegraph line
men. The telegraph men set poles
in the center of a side path. The
superintendent of side paths ordered
them to desist, and was maltreated.
The farmers took hand, and fierce
encounter followed, in which ten
farmers were hurt. Thirty-three line
men were subsequently arrested.

Temperance in the Army.

The friends of temperance, those
who believe that the better part of
man is prompted, is strengthened, by
the avoidance of the use of alcoholic
drinks few years ago commenced a
crusade against the use of intoxicants
in the army. The government had
established the canteen in the army,
system of supplying the soldiers
with alcoholic and fermented liquors
by the suttler under certain condlt-
ions. The result Of the fight made
against the canteen caused a law to
be passed by congress alb jlishing the
system. From the day of its passage
up to the present time, many Of the
officers of the army have declared that
the law has not accomplished the end
sought, that instead Of decreasing the
drink habit among our soldiers, it has
tended towards increasing intemper-
ance, that while under the cantcen
system the sale of intoxicants was I'M
der the control Of the commanding
officer of post or garrison, it is now
sold by irresponsible persons who have
started and maintained saloons just
outside the government reservation.
In his annual report for the depart
ment of Colorado. General. Funston at
tacks the law in vigorous language.
He declares that this legislation has
lowered the Discipline of the rank and
file, has ruined many formerly good
soldiers and has chiefly resulted in en-
riching saloon keepers, gamblers and
disSolute characters of both sexes. lie
reports marked increase in offences,
especially desertion, and shows that
court-mar tials have nearly doubled
in the last year.
He attributes these conditions to
two causes: First, resentment of I'M
accustomed restrictions felt by men
returning from the field to the mo-
notony of garrison duty; second, the
