We cannot find words to express. our sincere thanks to those who sympathized with us in the death of our father, but we take this means to let them know that their kindness will never be forgotten, and that their sympathetic words and &C., tions toward us in the hour of grief can never be repaid; nor can they understand how we appreciate 1t.

INDUSTRIAL NEWS.

It was stated yesterday that the diffi- culties which have heretofore existed be- tween the operators and the miners at the Kimberly and Jefferson mines have been adjusted, and that the men who have been .laying off have gone back to work.
 There has been nothing in the way of a general strike at the mines, but the men engaged on marrow work" did not think that they were getting enough yardage pay and refused to work. The owners con- tended that they were complying with the terms of the arbitration award, but the men asked for an advance and stopped work, although no strike was declared and the room men did not qul. President Flynn of the United Mine Workers of America went to the mines last week and held several conferences with both the owners and the miners, and 1t is stated that the operators made some concessions which, proving satisfactory, the men have resumed work.
 News reached Birmingham yesterday that a number of the men employed in the Miller and Ruby mines at Cordova, Walker county had been discharged for joining a newly organized local of the United Mine Workers of America.
 Investigation proved that the report was true. and that there is now "clear cut issue presented between the operators on one side and the miners union on .he other.
 It is said that about one-third of the men employed joined the u~ion. and in accordance with a resolution already agreed to by the managers of the mining companies. they were promptly dis charged. gentleman connected with one of the mines said yesterday that large number of the white miners were opposed to unionizing the mines, and that they had agreed with these men that they would discharge any man who joined. He further said that the position assumed by these two mines, is that which will be taken by the majority of the companies operating in Walker county. If this course Is followed there will unqueotionably in the opinion of f. -se familiar with the sit- uation, be a struggle that will determine the life or death of the United Mine Workers of America in Walker county.
 The strike which was on at the Ragland or Broken Arrow mines, in St. Clair coun- ty. has been adjusted The company has agreed to pay the advance of ? cents per ton. and the men have gone back to work.
 It is reported that the Alabama Tube and Iron company has been reorganized and will in the near future resume opera tions under the title of the Alabama Tube and Horseshoe company.
 The plant of the company is situated at Helena, about 15 miles south of Bir- mingham.

TEN BOLD ASSERTIONS

Regarding Chamberlain's Collie. Chol-
era and Diarrhoea Remedy.
1. 1t affords quick relief in cases of
collie, cholera morbus and pains in the
stomach.
2. It never fails to effect a cure in
the most severe cases of dysentery and
diarrhoea-
3. 1t is a sure cure for chronic diar-
rhoea.
4. It can always be depended upon
in cases of cholera infantum.
5. 1t cures epidemical dysentery.
s. 1t prevents bilious collie.
Z. 1t is prompt and effective in cur
ing all bowel complaints.
8. 1t never produces bad results.
8. 1t is pleasant and safe to take.
10. 1t has saved the lives of more
people than any other medicine in the
world.
Tines IRE bold assertions to make
regarding any medicine, but there is
abundant proof of every one of the
above statements regarding this RENE
dy. Every household should have
bottle at hand. Get it today. 1t may
save life. Benson. Smith & Co., Ltd,

DUTY AT THE PRIMARIES.

The primary election Will be held on
Friday next and II it is going TO result
in a good ticket the sooner conserva-
tive Republicans get in and work the
better This is their chance. The con-
vention 10 follow will make up the list
OF county nominees and it Will largely
depend on the men who do not usually
take part in primaries whether the
ticket viii be clean or dirty, support
able or insupportable-
The town has many men who want
10 get on the ticket but who have no
title 10 the support OF the taxpayers.
It is unnecessary TO name them. The
record Of court proceedings will an
swer for many; common fame for 9TH
ers. There are also plenty Of good citi-
zens who. If they do not want to serve.
could doubtless be persuaded to in the
interests of good government. If choice
is TO be made between these il must
be made by Republican taxpayers rath-
er than by machine politicians who
have friends to reward and enemies to
punish.
If a good ticket is assured there will
be no occasion for a citizens move
ment; and it is better patriotism for
the citizens to make the ticket all right
in the first place than to let it go by
default and oppose it afterward.
The best advice which can be given
the people who have the greatest stake
in good government here is to unite |
and try to keep the Republican county |
ticket clean.

The frequent arrival here of vener-
able tourists shows how far travel has,
within few years past, been eased of
it's discomforts. Twenty-Five years ago
a man of sixty hesitated to start on a
long journey by sea or rail; now age
cuts no figure IL the spirit moves.
Squire Mott of Australia, aged 50, is
here en- route to New York and En-
gland Mrs. Jane L. Stanford. who is
well on in the seventies, was lately
here on a journey around the world.
A Jew weeks ago sister of Rev. DR..
s. +. Bishop, a woman in the seventies
and a cripple, came to Honolulu from
b. ooklyn, accompanied by her daugh-
ter. her health not at all impaired by
the long journey. DR.. McGrew, a
frisky youth of 50, is just back from
a visit as far East as New York. Claus
Spreckels thinks nothing of ten thou
sand mile trips. In fact the average
old person feels better travelling than
h does at home.

CARELESS REPORTING.

Much OF the mainland comment on
things Hawaiian is based on hurried
and imperfect rendering Of the dis
patches from here. a cablegram which
told how the Hawaiian House had re-
fused 10 insert an item in the appro-
priation bill for the support Of an I'm
migration agent on the ground that an
American influx was not wanted here
was made to read that a law had been
framed TO prohibit the entrance of
Americans altogether. This was fol-
lowed by equibs in the mainland press
about the proposed secession" Of Ha-
wall. Another instance of things going
wrong on the wire is in the current
cabIegram that the city of Honolulu
has decided to build a monumental
lighthouse TO Mckinley. No such de-
cision has been made and none is like
~ 10 be- While the Advertiser does
not send cable or mail news from here
IL feels sure that the correspondents.
whoever they may be, were not to
blame for these and other errors made
by the Associated Press. The latter
organization is exceedingly careless at
times, particularly in the transmittal
OF figures. This paper was obliged to
stop taking a daily sugar report from |
the Associated Press because Of con-
slant errors eliminating in an item, |
which was repeated over the line, and |
which turned out to the absurdly false, |
about slump in sugar that meant |
ruin to our plantation interests. The
Bulletin and Stars $500. 600, 600 dis
patch about the liabilities of Great
Britain is another example in point.
This paper has not yet got at the truth
about the more than thirteen minute
time allowance reported as having been
given the cup challenger. the other
day. but presumes that a decimal was
misplaced by the carelessness Of an As
ISOLATED Press operator. Inquiry at the
cable office shows that the thirteen
minute" dispatch is what was received
there: but that any such allowance
was ever made or thought of is much
to be doubted. Still the news has to be
taken as IL comes
