MT. Frank Dodson is preparing to give the sportsmen and others in this vicinity real treat, sometime between now and Thanksgiving, in the way of good, old fashioned Turkey Shoot. Live turkeys have been ordered from the Sound.

 The constant effort ofth proprietors of the "Glory Hole" is to provide the best of everything for their patrons. Realizing that the A. B. c. Bohemian Beer, made by the American Brewing Company is up to the highest standard, they have it always on hand.
 On the evening of Oct. 2S, large number of the lady and gentlemen friends of Mrs. H. c. Jones, gathered at the home of that lady, much to her surprise, to celebrate her 39th birth day anniversary. As token of their appreciation they treated her to a shower of china. Refreshments were served and the evening passed in manner both pleasant and profitable to all.
 Last Wednesday afternoon Mrs. D. B. Veasie of Treadwell entertained number of her friends at a Social After noon. Among the features for their entertainment was a table on which reposed 20 articles, which the ladies were to view and then write from memory the list. Mrs. James Daniels won the first prize, china fruit dish, and Mrs. A. E. Christoe was awarded the consolation, dust bag. A lunch con was served by the hostess. The Republican convention, at Ju- neau, yesterday, resulted in one of the worst mix-ups in the history of that turbulent town. Two distinct con- ventions were organized and both pro- ceeded to do business in the same hall at the same time. George Irving of Ketchikan was elected to preside by the crowd led by Marquam of Haines, and the Held party put in Snyder, of Wrangell. Motions were declared lost or carried in utter disregard of the howls of the opposition and very few of those who attended can tell what was really done. The Held faction had their work outlined, and completed it in time for an early adjournment, which gave the Marquamites clear sailing for the rest of the day. Resolu- tions were passed endorsing Thomas Marguam for Alaska National Com mitteeman and endorsing the demand for territorial form of government for Alaska. Two brass bands con tributed to the excitement.

Impressi on1sm.

Here is another characteristic story
OF Whistler. the artist, one which was
current a year or two back In the
Latin quarter of Paris. Once or twice
week Whistler went to a certain
atelier to criticise and offer suggestions
upon the work of the students there.
one of these, a young American girl,
had painted portrait in what she be-
lieved the truest impressionistic style.
When Whistler came for his next view
he stopped short before this canvas.
while the student waited in anxiety for
his comment. The master paused
moment and then said, In his most
caustic tones: You say that you paint
what you see. oh. Lord! what shock
when one sees what you paint" and
passed on.

REPUBLICANS
TALK POLITICS

The Republican Executive Commit
tee at its meeting last evening dis
cussed party procedure for the county
elections to be held in November. 1t
was decided practically to continue in
force the rules which governed the last
Territorial elections and primaries.
1t was decided also that there could
be no change in the precincts. A voter
who has changed his place of residence
since the last election must vote at
his former polling place and in the
old precinct, as there will be no new
registration. Delegates to the con-
vention must also be elected from their
old precincts and not in any to which
they have since moved.
There was also some discussion as to
primaries. The same rules will govern
the primaries and the judges chosen
for the last election will have charge
of the primary elections.

MACfARLANE IS THE MAN
FOR THE ST. LOUIS JOB
Dole Chooses Late Chairman Of the Fire
Claims Commission to Boom Us at
the Exposition.

Commissioner Macfarlane needs no
introduction either to the business or
the social community of Honolulu.
For years he has been identified with
large enterprises in these islands and
has frequently appeared in important
fiduciary capacities. When the Homo
lulu Merchants Association was Or
ganized, Mr.. Macfarane was the
spontaneous choice of its members for
president Governor Dole, in appoint
ing the Fire Claims Commission, made
Mr.. Macfarlane its chairman and the
satisfactory record that body made Is
an open book.
Socially, Mr.. Macfarlane belongs to
one of the oldest foreign families Cf
Honolulu, some of whose members have
borne a prominent part in the public
affairs OF these islands. Connected by
marriage with the best Hawaiian peo-
pie, Mr. Macfarlane will be fit repre-
sentative of Hawaiian citizenship at
large. Withal, the Commissioner to st.
Louis is man Of good address who
will be able to hold his own diplomatic
cally with the world assembled at the
great fair.

Frederick w. Macfarlane has been
selected by Governor Dole as Commits
sioner for the Territory of Hawaii at
the st. Louis Exposition. 1t was yes
terday afternoon that the choice was
determined. Mr.. Macfarlane himself
first learned of his appointment when
an Advertiser reporter called on him
in his office in the Judd building to ask
for n statement of his plans of action
as Commissioner. The information had
for him the nature of a surprise.
IT did not think I should be appoint
ed" Mr.. Macfarlane said. THE last
talk the Governor and I had on the
matter said I did not see how could
find time to attend to the business. I
was told that I would be allowed the
services of a secretary. Nothing has
been said to me since on the subject.
1T would be impossible for me, at
such short notice, to give any state
ment regarding plan of operations.
Thus far my only connection with the
matter of a Hawaiian exhibit for st.
Louis has been as member OF the
Citizens Exposition Committee"

PEOPLE We KNOW
They Are Honolulu People
and What They Say is of
Local Interest.

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home, 1t is bound
to carry weight with our readers. So
many strange occurrences go the
rounds of the press; are published as
facts, people become skeptical. On one
subject skepticism is rapidly disappear
ing. This Is due to the actual expert
ence of our citizens, and their public
utterances regarding them. The doubt
ef must doubt no more in the face of
such evidence as this. The public state
ment of reputable citizen living right
in Honolulu, one whom You can see
every day, leaves no ground for the
skeptic to stand on.

Of Liliha and King streets. this city.

A CHARGE
OF FRAUD
Woman Claims She Was
Cheated on Fire
Claim.

Kamakaulani Woolsey in suit fer
a bill accounting makes some seilous
charges against Ching Luni, whom she
says has collected a fire claim and
refused to pay her half as promised.
The plaintiff alleges that in July,
1898, she leased certain premises from
the defendant for a term OF fifteen
Years. In January, 1900 certain Guild
ings on the leased land were destroyed
by a fire caused by the order of the
Board of Health in attempting to sup
press the plague. She further alleges
that as she was about to file q claim
before the fire claims commission FOR
the value of said buildings Ching Lum
agreed to maintain and approve the
claim, provided she allowed him 10 file
it in his own name, and he also prom
ised to pay to her one half OF the
amount of the award. Thereafter the
made an award of 1865
which it is alleged the defendant col
iected and still retains. Further .he
plaintiff alleges that after said re-
spondent had collected said moneys
upon said award complainant request
ed said respondent to account for and
lay to complainant her share tLereof.
but said respondent frauulenily ard
deceitfully repudiated his said agree
ment and fraudulently refuses to pay
to complainant her share Of said mon
eys or any portion thereof"

ROUNDED UP THE
PORTO RlCANS

Deputy Sheriff Chillingworth with
Detectives Renear and McDuffie round
ed up half a dozen Porto Rican va
grants last evening among whom may
be two or three of the men who have
been committing petty burglaries in
the city recently. The men Were
found in Nuuanu Valley, having taken
possession of empty houses.
The Porto Ricans have adopted q
new scheme of offense when they get
into court While at liberty they take
great pains to put in an hour or two
at work occasionally in gardens Up
the valley. Then when arrested they
bring in the native owners 10 prove
they are not Migrants.

YOU WILL NOT

be deceived. That there are cheats
and frauds in plenty everybody
knows; but it is seldom or never
that any large business house is
guilty of them, no matter what
line of trade it follows. There
can be no permanent success of
any kind based on dishonesty or
deception. There never was, and
never will be. The men who try
that are simply fools and soon
come to grief--as they deserve.
Now many persons are, neverthe-
less, afraid to buy certain adver-
tised articles lest they be hum
plugged and deluded; especially
are they slow to place confidence
in published statements of the
merits of medicines. The effec-
tive modern remedy known as
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
is as safe and genuine an article
to purchase as flour, silk or cot
ton goods from the mills of man
ufacturers with a worldwide re-
putation. We could not afford to
exaggerate it's qualities or misre-
present it in the least; and it is
not necessary. 1t is palatable as
honey and contains the nutritive
and curative properties of Pure
Cod Liver Oil, extracted by us
from fresh cod livers, combined
with the Compound Syrup of
Hypophosphites and the Extracts
of Malt and Wild Cherry; and
how valuable such a blending Of
these important medicinal agents
must be is plain to everybody.
1t is beyond price in Weakness
and lack of Nervous Tone, Ane.
mia, Scrofula, La Grippe, Lung
Troubles and Impurities of the
Blood. Science can furnish no.
thing better-perhaps nothing so
good. DR.. W. III. Dale, of Cana
da, says: "I have used it in my
practice and take pleasure in re-
commencing it as a valuable ton
ic and reconstructive." 1t is
remedy that can afford to appeal
to it's record and represents the
science and knowledge of bright
and aggressive medical investiga-
ton. Effective from the first
dose. Sold by all chemists here.

CUMULATIVE
CONTEMPT
Writ Of Citation
Ignored After
Service.

Mile Lancaster, 1.-The man with a
feminine name, committed contempt
upon contempt Of court yesterday by
leaving for the mainland in the
steamer Korea. He was under sum-
10 o'clock to show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt
in violating an order of alimony made
on February Is. 1902. Judge De Bolt
issued the summons on the applica-
ton of ]. A. Matthewman. attorney
for Virginia NJ. Lancaster, on Monday
evening and it was served on the re-
spondent yesterday morning. The mo-
ton for the order was supported by
an affidavit by Virginia NJ. Lancaster,
saying:
THAT she is the libellant in the
above entitled case: and that, since
February 10th, 1901, she has received
from the libelee for the support and
maintenance of their minor child,
Irene Blanch Lancaster, the sum of
1858 and no more"
The decree of divorce entered in the
case ordered the libelee to pay to the
libellant, for the support of the child,
81 week, beginning on February 10,
1901. The balance due UP to the pres
ent week, according to the affidavit
of the libellant, would be 1857.
Attorney Matthewman, upon learn
ing that the respondent was contem-
plating flight from the courts juris-
diction after summons had been serv-
ed on him, hastily prepared another
petition. This asked for change in
the return time of the writ. On pres
entation to Judge De Bolt the petit
ton was promptly granted.
The order to show cause was a
mended by striking out the words ION
Wednesday, August 10, 1903, at 10
O'Clock" and inserting in lieu there
of the word forthwith" This amend
ed writ was returned at $40 d. m.
with the following endorsement by
Albert McGurn, Deputy Sheriff:
Not being allowed to pass the
gangway leading to the deck of the
S. S. Korea, and knowing that the
within named Millie Lancaster. de-
PENDANT, was a passenger by the said
S. S. Korea bound for San Francisco,
u. S. A., the service Of the within
writ was therefore not made on said
defendant, Mile Lancaster"
1t remains to be seen whether pro-
ceedings will be taken to bring to book
the officers of the Korea for resisting
service of a Territorial courts pro-
cess on board the ship within the
jurisdiction of the laws of this Ter
ritory.
