STOCK DROWNED.

Denver. Colo, May 20. - A cloud
burst at the head of the Cache la
Poudre river caused that stream to-
overflow its banks and meager reports
received here indicate that great dam
age has been caused by the food. The
rush of the food caused the dam
which holds the water of Livingston
lake, sixty-five miles above Fort Col
Inns, to break, and this added volume
of water swept down the Cache la
Poudre, practically wiping out the
towns of Livermore and LaPorte, re-
spectively fourteen and three miles,
above Fort Collins. 1t is reported that
| one person was drowned at the form
er place.
At Fort Collins the river, which nor
mally is about the width of the aver
age mountain river, is now over a
| mile wide, and the Russian settlement.
consisting of about 600 families, is
inundated.
Many Lives In Danger.
About half of them succeeded in get
ting out of their houses before the
flood was upon them. The remainder
however, are in perilous position.
Their houses can plainly be seen float
ing about among the trees and shouts
and other signals of distress are seen
and heard. A few of the houses have
entered the current of the river and
been swept down stream, and, perhaps,
| shattered or sunk and their occupants
drowned. 1t is definitely known that
two lives have been lost, one man at
Laporte, and Russian child at Fort
Collins.
Although the crest of the flood has
not yet reached Greedy, ranchmen and

tied and richesb agricultural districts
of Colorado. A large portion of the
northern part of the state is irrigated
from this stream and a number of i'm
mense reservoirs have been construct
ed for the purpose of storing the
water. Should the force of the waters

a break and release the stored water
| the result could be nothing but disas-

| Wire communication with the flood
section is fitful and all the towns along
the upper Cache la Poudre have been
entirely cut off.

four feet Of water, and in some cases

Have Been Swept Away

e New York, May %. The United
States will head the list Of nations as
an exporter OF domestic products in
the fiscal year which ends with the
coming month. The contest for SUI
premacy as an exporter Of domestic
products has been for several years
between the United Kingdom and the
United States. Until a comparatively
recent date the United Kingdom stood
at the head Of the list During the
past few years, however, the United
States has on several occasions ex-
ceeded slightly the figures Of the Uni

Of exports make it evident that in the
fiscal year 1904 the United States will
be considerably in the lead.

FAREWELL VAUDEVILLE
At ORPHEUM TONIGHT

The program this evening ought to
be one of unalloyed delight to all who
love the vaudeville form of entertain
ment Of course all the Weberfieldian
shows are more or less continuous
variety performances but then the
leaders are copying the ideas and
stunts OF other people and not produc-
ing. as they viii tonight, the best that
they have ever produced the acts,
songs, stories and steps that first
brought them prominently to public
notice.
When Ko1b and Dill used to make
the Orpheum audiences roar over the
troubles Of two Dutchnen with the
appetite for two beers and only the
price Of one. they were playing the.
II Don't Care for Something's" stunt
that they Dresent this evening. Bar
ny Bernard convulsed the house only
the other night with his Jewish paro-
dies and ne had only just started to
draw on his repertoire and he will be
a heavy favorite.

ing voice Is TO. give US SOIlSS we All

er wninsicality entitled the Pullman

Then comes Hasson. the gentleman
who seems equally at home on his
hands as on his feet and who will turn
whirligigs galore for the general edi-
fication.
All this makes a. program to be look
ed forward TO with eagerness and this
is to be supplemented with the first
act of Pousse Cafe including the con-
tract scene and the Charlotte vidot
dolly imDersonatfon.
The house should be packed even
more than on the opening night and
undoubtedly will. Honolulu is loath to
see the last of this clever combination
and will bid them but reluctant fare
well.

In his charge to the Grand Jury on
the converting of the May term of the
Circuit Court, Judge Little gave ex-
preston to some patriotic utterances.
His address is as follows:
IF the old patriarchs could rise and
speak to us, what charming bits of his
tory they could dwell upon touching
the conduct of their day and genera
lions which have followed along down
the avenues of time until we find our
selves this day discussing the same
subject, excepting that we follow the
plans of our day and time under the
forms of our more modern laws.
The sentinels of peace and good
order have, in my judgment, never
been more watchful than now. It was
a part of their duty then as now, and
former grand juries. have been in our
own time most effective and salutary
in suppressing evil.
THE establishment of a grand jury
as one element of the freedom of the
citizens has resulted in incalculable
good.
Unlike the Spaniards in the time
of the good saint, we have good gov
eminent. But it is not true that the
lawIessness which prevails in our land
is unsurpassed in the worst of the
governments of these early days. And
yet 1 am afraid the angels will not take
al IL
reform somewhat, so it devolves upon
the grand juries to assist in maintaining
peace and good order. What blessings
we haveI No people on earth enjoy
liberties so Target The burdens of
benevolent government are scarcely APP
probable. They are returned to the
people in many forms of most striking
and widespread benefit. Millions are
expended for the development of our
rivers and harbors Public buildings,
spacious. comfortable, exquisite in ar
chitecture are constructed all over the
land for the convenience OF the people
and the ready disposition of the pub
lie business of the country.
.sOur postal system is unprecedented
in it's comprehensiveness, efficiency
and completeness.
1.-The flag borne by our gallant navy
is known and honored on every sea.
Our foreign policy has given to the
clearly ascertained will of the Amer
lean people practically the effect of in
ternational law.
1.-The great isthmian canal, which will
soon be an accomplished fact, will save
more than 10000 miles in distance and
more than fifty days in time by steamer
as to time and expense to complete the
trip around the Horn. All these things
tend to develop the good citizen and
the man who loves his country and to
make good jurors.
1.-THE performance of any duty re-
quired of you as grand jurors should
not be influenced by politics or political
associations.
1.-The grand juror is not only terrify-
ing to wrong doors, but he is persua-
sive to those who hesitate between the
narrow path of duty and the broad
and open way to destruction. nigh
minded juror who knows the pubic
right and knowing dares to maintain
it, may in truth be no less effective
than a hign-minded preacher. Both
have noble missions, but while the lat

EVERY SAILOR
HIRED A RIG


Yesterday was a gala day in Homo
lulu from the appearance Of the streets,
the parks, the beach resorts, the crowd
ed cars and the mass of vehicles on
the driveways. The beach resorts seem
ed the popular magnets during the af-
ternoos1, and hundreds took advantage
of the fine weather to go in bathing.
The livery stables did a land office
business all day with the sailors of
the fleet. The very best rigs they had
were demanded and the best of horse
flesh too. With good cigars stuck be-
tweens their teeth, the bluecoats drove
about in light rigs for two. traps, car
ryalIs, hacks, sometimes with one
horse, sometimes with spans and oc-
casionaIly with four while many essay
ed to ride saddle horses. One or two
runaways did little damage to rigs,
horses or drivers.
The band concert at Makee Island
was largely attended.

IT WORKS LIKE MAGIC.-The re-

Balm when applied to burn or scald

unless the wound is very severe does
not leave a scar. For sale by all Deal
