such conditions the opportunities offered by the
handbook men 10 the public 20 bet on the Ben
nines races were not attractive. and there were
so few takers that most Of the handbook men
were dsgruntled last night.
There was a time when person not known 10

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 -four, silk or cot
ton goods from the mills of
manufacturers with a worldwide
reputation. We could not afford
to exaggerate its qualities or mis-
represent it in the least; and it
is not necessary. 1t is palatable
as honey and contains the nu-
tritive and curative properties of
Pure Cod Liver Oil, extracted

bined with the Compound Syrup
of Hypophosphites and the Ex-

and how valuable such a blend
ing of these important medicinal
agents must be is plain to every
body. 1t is beyond price in In
somnia, Anemia, Weakness and
lack of Nervous Tone, Poor
Digestion, Lung Troubles and
Blood Impurities. Science can
furnish nothing better-perhaps
nothing so good. DR.. W. II.
Dale, of Canada, says: "I have
used it in my practice and take
pleasure in recommending it as
a valuable tonic and reconstruct
tive" 1t is a remedy that can
afford to appeal to its record
and represents the science and
knowledge of bright and aggres-
sive medical investigation. "One

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Compound
THE GREAT rIEDIcINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use of Paine's Celery CompOHnd.
Am Now In the Best of Health"

"Aiter the Use of Paine's Celery compOund.
/ Am Now In the Best of Health"
The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, NJ. D., Ii. D., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our Country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from a gentleman widely
known IN the capital city of the Dominion of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81
O'Connor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says:-
"I acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. / was also treated by several of
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.

firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination TO vomit, had Profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at time.
"After the regular use of Paine's Celery
Compound for time, am now in the best of
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind of food. Thank God 1 am my old self
once more, all through the use of Paine's
Celery Compound"

REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.

Aside from a little furry caused by
the sudden rise to power of the Young
Mems Republican Club, there was lit
tie interest shown in the Republican
primaries held last Saturday. 1t is
difficult at any time TO arouse suffi-
cient interest in the stay-at-home vot-
er to attend and vote at primaries, and
outside of Hilo where there was an
attempt to create a rivalry in repub-
lican leadership, there was not even
the appearance of a contest. The
Young Mems Republican Club was per-
fectly organized and every member
stood by the "slate" agreed upon at the
caucus the night before. The result
demonstrated the effectiveness of uni
fed organization and the Smith wing
of the party rode into power on the
tide of the younger Hawaiian vote. The
delegates chosen are all capable men
and can be relied upon to represent the
wishes of the party in the Convention
to be held in Honolulu next Monday

SANTA FE DIRECTORY.
Traffic Manager Has Prepared a Book
for Buyers and Shippers.

The seventh annual freight traffic
directory of the Santa F'e railroad has
just come off the press. 1t is a great
deal larger and more comprehensive
than any former isue, containing much
information which former issues did
not have.
The directory was compiled under
the supervision of Freight Traffic
Manager w. B. Biddle at Chicago. 1t
is cloth bound book containing about
three hundred pages of information
and advertising.
1t is printed primarily for the use of
buyers and shippers. 1t contains the
names of the principal shippers and
buyers and merchants in various lines
classified under headings embracing
every line of pursuit. Under each
heading is a complete alphabetical list
of stations on the lines owned, leased
and operated by the Santa Fe, with
each particular line who live and do
business at the respective towns and
cities. q
The directory shows a list of all
stations where stock yard facilities are
in existence and where track scales
are located. 1t also shows track con-
nections at various points with other
railroads and with local shippers in
the various cities.
In fact, all information desired by
buyers and commission men in the
cities who want connections through
out the country is furnished together
with information how freight may be
handled to the best advantage.
For the shipper it is valuable book
inasmuch as it furnishes him with in
formation regarding the handling of
his products together with the names
of the buyers in the large cities, with
whom he can correspond and sell
where he can do so at the best adj
vantage to himself.
The book also contains several
maps and a score of tables of ready
information on various TOPICS

FEWER ENGINE FAILURES.
Mr.. Nudge of Santa Fe Gives Out
Figures for September.


General Manager H. U. Nudge of
the Santa Fe has given out for pub
LEGATION the figures of the engine fall
ures for the month of September OF
this year as compared to the same
month last year.
The number of engine failures for
September, 1904, was an even 400 and
the number of failures for the same
month one year ago was 444.
The significance of these figures is
in the showing of the motive power
of the Santa Fe railroad.
'It has been falsely alleged by the
union machinists who went on a strike
against the Santa Fe,'' said Mr..
Nudge, that the motive power of the
Santa Fe is running down. But the
facts of the case show that the mo-
tive power of the system is in better
shape now than it was before the ma
chinists left our employ.
while the figures only show the

exists on all parts of the system
1.-THE traffic was considerably heav-
Ter during the month of September
than it was for the months prior to
that time, the showing of which has
been published heretofore. September
this year was also much buster than
September of last year.
I'VE are very well satisfied with the
new men who took the places of the
striking machinists. We have found
or better than the former employees.
Many of the men are moving their
families to the west and am inform
ed that not a few of the men have all
ready begun preparations for acQuir-
ing their own homes.

BALLET PLEADS GUILTY.
Second Trial of Promoter Comes to-
an Abrupt End.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 17.-Letson Ball
liet, who gained wide notoriety two years
ago the promoter of the White Swan
Mining company of Oregon, suddenly ter
minated his second trial in the federal
court for frauduiently using the mails by
pleading guilty to the offense. The first
trlal TWO years ago ended IN convicuong
after a hard fight, but the second trial
was ordered by the higher courts.
Ballet was formerly of this city, a
young man who went from the work of a
mines. He organized the White Swan
Mining company and through 1t secured
subscriptions. 1t was alleged that only q
very little of this money was used in de-
.veloping the property, but most of it was
employed in carrying on stock sales and
proceedings against Ballet, accusing him
of using the malls for fraudulent purposes
and the government officials finally made
a against him, which resulted in his
plea of guilty.
Ballet was charged with having re-
ceived about 1920, 900 from purchasers OF
coed $4,000 in the property. 1t was
proved by the government that during the
two and one-haH years that Ballet oper-
ated the scheme he had expended S25 600
in buying a newspaper at Baker City, Ore,
about 5000 in advertising the mine and
himself as the Cecil Rhodes of America;
that he had expended various sums on
actresses and personal outlays, and that
since the purchase of the White Swan
mine he had put practically nothing into
it with a view to developing on behalf OF
The government objected to his use OF
the mails to procure money, in the first
place, for the sale of stock in a company
which had no valid title to the property
in which it's stockholders were assured
they would participate; secondly, to this
sale of stock through the mails without
expanding the money received in develop
ing the property he was selling, according
to his agreement.

AFTER K. U. PLAYERS.
Missouri Charges Hicks and Pooler
With Professionalism.

Lawrence, Kan, Nov. lit now seems
that Captain Hicks and Bert Pooler, the
two star Kansas football players, will
have to stand the test of an arbitrator on
the charge of professionalism which has
been worked up for the last six months as
a result of the Lamar-Carthage game last
December at Lamar, Mo, which Hicks,
Pooler Rice, Allen and Griggs, then all
members of the University of Kansas
team, participated in and won the game
for Lamar.
At the time there was considerable talk
about the playing of the Kansas men in
that game, and Prof. Sterling, chairman
ately to Lamar and Carthage and made
most diligent search for all evidence per-
tanning thereto. Prof. Sterling returned
with many affidaYitS and other material
that was submitted to the Kansas board,
which Immediately started inveSti gations
on the part of Missouri any other col
lege that cared to make an investigation.
authorities that the men were not playing
professional ball, and that the Jayhawk-
would be clear of all charges of pro-
feSSionaliSm. Since that time GriggS and
Rice failed in their studies and are now
members of Washburn college at Topeka
Allen is no longer member of the Kan
SaS team, but is coaching Central high
school in Kansas City Hicks and Pooler
are the only players out of the five who
are now members of the Kansas eleven.
1t was thought until recently that the
matter had been thoroughly aired, but
there has been some belief of late that
Missouri would endeavor to throw out
most disastrous to the Kansas eleven.
1t is understood that among MiSsouri's
charges are those of playing for purse
and of playing on professional team.
