JOHN MACON DIES
IN 18th YEAR
(From Mondays Advertiser,

(From Mondays Advertiser)
John Magoon. father of attorney j.
Alfred Magoon, died yesterday morn
ing at the residence Of his son, Kee-
aumoku and Lunalilo streets, and will
be buried today from the residence.
Mr. Magoon was an old resident of
Honolulu, having come here about thir-
ty years ago. The deceased was a pa
triarchal-looking man, having the ap-
pearance of MISUNDERSTANDING
Quaker. Lately he had suffered from
congestion of the lungs death, however,
being caused by cerebral effusion.
John Magoon was born on December
8, 1880, at Litchfield, Maine. In 1857 he
married Maria Sophia Eaton, who died
twenty years ago. The newly married
couple started west and settled in AL
coma, Kossuth, Co., Iowa, where their
son and only child, ]. Alfred Magoon,
was born on July %, 1858. After suf-
fering intensely from fever and ague
they made their way back to Maine,
having endured the greatest hardships
in the journey owing to the primitive
mode of travel. In 1858 Mr. Magoon,
went to California, where in 1869 his
wife and son Joined him. He bought
ranch near Lower Lake in Lake
county and was afterward engaged in
quicksilver mining until he and his
wife came to the Hawaiian Islands in
1876. Being a farmer he located at
Wahiawa, Oahu, but a drought de-
stroyed his crops and he came to Homo
lulu where he has since resided. He
never fully recovered from the shock
of his wife's death and has always
looked forward with an abiding faith
to the day when he should be called
to join her for whom he so deeply
mourned. He and his wife long years
ago joined Bethel church, which was
amalgamated with Fort street church
to form Central Union, and Mr.. Ma
COON was a member of the new church
until he died.
Grandpa" Magoon, as he was called
by those who lived in his neighborhood,
wanted to spend his life amid the poor
and lowly who quickly learned to love
him. Though his son desired him to
make his home with him he steadfast-
ly refused, saying that he wanted to
live and die in the home he had made
with his wife. He spent much of his
means in deeds of charity and he will
be missed by the poor in his neighbor-
hood and by the children especially
for whom he was always doing some
loving kindness.
Services were held in the house yes
terday afternoon to enable his immedi-
ate neighbors in life to take last fare
well of him.
The funeral will be held at the house
of his son, corner of Lunalilo and Ke-
eaumoku streets, at $3.50 o'clock this
afternoon.

CALVES GET
BEST MILK

Wahiawa colony entertained the
members OF the Farmers Institute on
Saturday both in the afternoon and
evening. At 4 p. m. the Institute held
a business meeting and at 1880 met tc
listen to some papers on subjects OF
interest to farming development In
Hawaii. The first matter for discus
sion was cooperative Marketing"
There was considerable disappoint-
ment with Jared Smiths inability to
be present, but an outline of his paper
was presented, In which he suggest ed
two plans for the organization of the
growers for the purpose of cooperating
In marketing their produce. and he al
SO suggested that a committee be ap-
pointed to look into the matter In all
Its phases and report to the society
at as early a date as possible, 80 that
some means may be taken to put some
definite plan for protection into ac-
ton. Byron o. Clark and A. w. Eames
of Wahiawa and d. B. Murdoch of
Haiku, Maui, We're appointed, and two
others will be named later
The next matter was the reading Of
a paper on "Honolulu's Milk Supply"
by r. A. Duncan, Chemist Of the Board
OF Health. He stated that so far in
vestigation showed that the local sup
ply Is up to the standard of that of
most of the mainland cities, In so far
as the general quality of the milk is
concerned. He thought 1t might be n
httt far 1ta 40
below that of mainland cities, It Is due
to the practice, that is all too common
among dairymen, of permitting calves
to have the last of the milk, which Is
always the richest, and consequently
the customer receives the thinnest milk.
He thought that IL the cows were prop
erly MIXED the milk would be as good
here as 1t Is in the average market
on the mainland. He said most of the
insanitary milk here was produced by
parties who are insanitary In every
other way. The paper was quite free
ly discussed.
The last paper OF the evening was
Byron o. Clark's on the subject of "a
So-called Pineapple Disease" The
growers have been troubled with what
might he called a disease, although
there does not seem to be any indica-
ton of a fungus or bacterial disease.
Mr. Clark presents a theory. In his
opinion those plants that turn yellow
are suffering from lack of nutrition of
the roots. one of the most prevalent
causes of this disease, on the planta-
tion of which he is manager is what
Is known as tangle-foot. That is. the
roots of the pine encircle the main root
underneath the leaf sheaths, which
sometimes causes strangulation of the
main plant. There was good deal OF
discussion on this subject.
The attendance at the meeting was
quite large.

MAUI CRAFTSMANSHIP.

"A peculiarly brilliant bit of legis-
lation," said Governor Carter yester-
day, was Representative Coelho's at
tempt to have appropriations used pro
rata in case the original amount APP
propriated or available should be found
not sufficient to complete the work de-
sired TO be done. In other words, sup
pose you wanted to build ten school
houses to cost two thousand dollars
each. and you had only ten thousand
dollars available? Under the Coelho
scheme you would build ten half
schoolhcuses and wait for two years
to complete them. Very pretty, isn't
it?"

. A SILLY SAYING,

cit is a common but silly opin.
ion prevailing among a GER
tain class of people that the
worse remedy tastes, smells or
hurts, the more efficacious it is"
So says a well-known English
physician. He further adds
"For example, let us consider
cod liver oil. AS it is extracted
from the fish this oil is so often
sive to the taste and smell that
many cannot use it at all, no
matter how badly they need it.
Yet cod liver oil is one of the
most valuable drugs in the world
and it is the greatest pity that
we have not thus far been able
to- free it from these peculiari-
ties which 30 seriously interfere
with its usefulness" . This was
written years ago; the work Of
civilizing and redeeming it has
since been triumphantly accom-
plished; and as a leading in
gredient in the remedy called
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
the oil retains all it's wonderful
curative properties with no bad
smell or taste whatever. 1t is
palatable as honey and contains
all the nutritive and curative
properties of Pure Cod Liver
Oil, extracted by us from fresh
cod livers, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites and Extracts of Malt and
Wild Cherry; creating a medi-
cine of unequaled power for the
diseases most prevalent and ia.
tai among men, women and chill
dren, There is no other remedy
to compare with it. 1t increa-
ses the digestive power of the
stomach and in Blood Impuri-
ties, Throat and Lung Troubles,
Nervous Dyspepsia and Scrofu-
lous Affections, it gives quick
and certain relief and cure. DR..
G.. G. Shannon, of Canada, says:
81 shall continue its use with,
/ am sure, great advantage to
my patients and satisfaction to
myself" Has all the virtues of
cod liver oil; none of its faults.
You may trust it fully; it cannot
disappoint you. At all chemists.

THE APPROPRIATIONS.

House Bill No. was read third
time. The bill is the departmental APP
preparation measure. The total amount
of the appropriations, as passed, is ST.
4S7, 595, as compared with $2.442, $50
on the bill originally introduced. The
difference is due maiply, of course to
the fact that items of expenditure
purely chargeable to :he counties, II
there are to be any counties, were cut
out.
On motion by Rice the bill formally
passed third reading. Aylett, Green
well, Lewis, Long and Nakuina voted
against the hill.
House Bill No. 6, for the payment
of $2344.ll unpaid bills, passed third
reading. The different items of the
bill are:

SUSPECTED
FOUL PLAY
Chinese is Found
Dead in Kula
Road.

MAUI, May 6.-Last night Policeman
Nakihei found the dead body of a Chi
nese lying in the Kula road. This
morning as soon as possible he re-
ported the matter and Deputy Sheriff
Morton and DR.. Dinegar are now
making Investigations. There are some
suspicious of foul play connected with
the mans death and a coroner's in
quest will be held.
VERY FINE CONCERT.
Yesterday evening the concert given
in Castle Hall. Waikiki, under the
direction of the knights of Pythias
was a great success both financially
and from a musical point of view.
Every number of most excellent
program received encores, Count Won
Zedwitz responding to several recalls.
The following we'll known musicians
took part: Mr.. Carl Won Zedwitz,
violin; DR.. Ormond E. Wall, violin;
Miss Sheffield, piano; Mrs. A. Salburg,
piano; Mr.. H. w. Baldwin, baritone;
Mr.. c. d. Lufkin, cornet.
Count Won Zedwitz was the particu-
lar star of the occasion, playing five
solos besides duet with DR.. Wall.
His playing was greatly appreciated,
the "Mocking Bird" played as an en-
core especially delighting the audience.
Miss Sheffield played the piano ac-
compartments.
An informal dance took place after
the concert from 10 to 1880 p. m.
Trains were run from Paia, Puunene
and Kahului, and at least $50 people
were present.
Last Saturday evening, a dancing
party was given by Mr.. and Mrs. F. F.
Baldwin of Spreckelsville. More than
a hundred guests from all parts of
Central Maui were present, who took
much pleasure tripping the light fam
tastic" in the new and spacious lanai
to the enlivening music of the Waihee
string band. Trains were run from
Waikiki, Kihei and Paia. This party
has been called "the best dance of the
season"
WHERE DROUGHT REMAINS.
In spite of the fact that other parts
of Maui have had an abundance of
rain during April. the drought still
continues in the Kula section from
Pulehuiki to Kamaole. On that tract Of
country very little moisture has been
precipitated since December, 1904.
Many of the residents there have been
Obliged to make the ascent to the well
known Polipoli spring, not only for
drinking water but they have driven
their horses and cattle thither, besides
taking the family washing to the same
place. Polipoli is the only spring in
all Kula.
CHINESE CENSUS.
The Chinese consul at Honolulu has
recently written to T. Akanaliilii in
quiring as to the number of Chinese
still resident on Maui.
Mr. Akanaliilii has estimated that
there are only $50 Chinese-men, women
and children-still remaining in Kahu-
hui, Puunene, Paia and Hamakuapoko

singular Form of Language.

Probably the queerest form of Ian
guage is that employed by the natives
of the Cameroons, by means of which
they are enabled to send messages
quickly from one village to another. 1t
is what may be called the "drum" Ian
guage. A peculiarly shaped drum is
used, the surface of the head being di-
vided into unequal parts. In this way
the instrument is made to yield two dis
tinctive notes. BY varying the inter
walls between the notes complete code
OF signals for every syllable in the Ian
guage is produced.
