All Enjoy the Ice and Snow---Cold
Weather to Continue.

With decided drop in the temperature
yesterday afternoon skating and sleighing
in Indianapolis took a sudden impetus.
There was just enough snow to make
sleighing reasonably good on well-payed
streets. and much of the water about the
city was frozen tight, making a veritable
paradise for the small boy. The same small
boy enjoyed a winter picnic kind OF a time
in Military Park, where the tOboggan
worked overtime when the small boy es-
capped from the Imprisonment of school.

damus in the supreme court OF Oklahoma

ers, asking that a peremptory mandamus
be issued against the election commits
sioners to compel them to deliver the

pointed by the city council

by Judge j. II. Buford, in the following
order:
Now, therefore, you, Earle Lee, Hous-
tin James and C. z. Common, as the

THE MAUNA ALA
WRECKED ON MEXICO

\ cablegram to the local Office Of the
Marine Exchange yesterday conveyed
the information that the bark Mauna
Ala, a vessel wei known in these ISL
ands, had been wrecked on the coast Of
Mexico. The dispatch did not state
whether there were any lives lost. or
whether the vessel was in a danger
Gus position. but it is presumed that
she is a total loss.
The Mauna Ala has been running TO
this port for some years and her mas
ter, Captain Smith is well known here.
She is an American vessel and Homo
lulu is her home port. j. Wightman
was her managing owner, bu. Captain
Smith also owned a share in her. She
is an old boat having been built in
Sutherland. England forty years ago.
She was 1S4.7 feet in length. 1926 feet
Mauna Ala UP TO a few months ago
was a regular trader running to this
port, but when the steamers beSai:
carrying sugar from here and cutting
into the trade of the windjammers,
Captain Smith decided to look for char
ters elsewhere and consequently his
vessel has not been seen in this port
for many months. The last time she
left Honolulu was Jan. "a with a load
of sugar and nine days out from this
port she sprang a leak. San Francis
co was reached in safety and it was
found that the cargo had not been dam
