a most remarkable escape from
death by smothering, I'm a caye-in, Is
reported from the big dam which Is in
process OF construction at Wahiawa.
A japanese laborer was at work dig
glng through the drift which lies on
the site OF the dam. This drift Is all
being excavated 80 as to get down to
the virgin soil as the foundation for
the dirt OF which the dam is to be con-
structed. 1t results from this that
much OF the digging Is in holes and
pockets.
1t was In one OF these that this Jap
anese laborer was at work when OF a
sudden there was cave-in, and he
was buried under seven feet Of earth.
Immediately a gang OF men We're set
to work to rescue him, though as they
kept digging and digging and still did
not come to him, there seemed little
hope that he would be alive. After

"The crop was also affected by the
leaf-hopper, over the entire area TO be
harvested, and by the rust, or top
rot on the low lands Of Kawaihapal
and Mokuleia. The cane In the Waia-
lua district on the low lands has been
affected by the rust every year during
the months Of February, March and
April. The crop Of 1906 being just at
the stage TO be most injured by such -
disease, and weakened by the long con-
tinued storm and cold weather, was
seriously damaged. The effect Of the
disease Is to Kill the tops and centers
Of the stalks, which rot and fan Off;

twelve minutes hard work they reached
his hat and moment or two later
were able TO remove the dirt from
about his head 80 as to give him air.
TO their surprise the Japanese was not
only not dead, but he was not uncon-
sciOus.
The instant he realized that there
was cave-in, he had backed up
against the wall Of the excavation and
put his arms up to his forehead, the
fOrearms partly crossed in front Of
and above his face. This has had pre-
served a small air space I'm front OF his
face, and II was this air he was breath
ing while buried under the earth.
The escape was almost miraculous,
as the falling earth had packed In

utes to extricate his body after his
face had been reached and exposed 10

RIGHT TIME TO CURE CATARRH.

Cure If Used Now.

The early summer when the
weather becomes warm and set
tied, is the best time of the whole
year to treat catarrhal troubles
with the expectation of compete
and lasting relief.
Everyone who has catarrh, or
even, a tendency to catarrh, should
use Hyomei now, for the benefit
will be gained twice as quickly
and the disease thoroughly eradi-
Gated from the system.
The complete Hyomei outfit
costs bat one dollar, and includes
a neat pocket inhaler, medicine
dropper, and sufficient Hyomei
for several weeks treatment. The
inhaler lasts a. lifetime, and if
more Hyomei is needed, extra
bottles can be obtained for so
cents.
In Brookhaven there are scores
of we'll known people who have
been cured of catarrh by Hyomei.
If it does not cure you. the Price
Drug Company will return your
money. This is the strongest
evidence they can offer as to their
faith in the remedy.

AIlisOn's Wells.

This splendid health and pleas
ure resort is now open for the
season, ndattention is directed to
its announcement in our adVertis-
ing columns. The editor of The
Leader has visited Allison,s Wells
several seasons during the sum-
mer months and from actual
observation and experience, can
testify to the virtues of its waters
for those suffering from malaria,
indigestion, nervous complaints,
etc. It is an ideal place for rest
and recreation, with all needed
opportunity for amusement and
diversion, or perfect quiet. A
number of our Brookhaven read
ers and others in this section Of
the State are in the habit of going
to some health resort every sea
son, for few days or weeks of
rest and recuperation. To all
who have never visited AIIison's
Wells we heartily commend this
deseryedly popular resort, feeling
assured in advance that they will
be well pleased with the results.

Cuban Dlarrhoea.

U. S. soldiers who served in Cuba
during the Spanish war know wnat
this disease is, and that ordinary rem
edies have little more effect than SO
much water. Cuban Diarrhoea is al
most as severe and dangerous as a
mild attack of cholera There is one
remedy, however, that can be depended
upon as will be seen by the following
certificate from Mrs. Minnie Jacobs of
Houston, Texas: Il hereby certify
that Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy cured my husband
of a severe attack of Cuban diarrhoea,

Biz Fire al Silver Greek.

Last Wednesday night the peo-
pie Of Silver Creek were aroused,
about midnight, by the peculiar
and ominous whistIing Of a loco
motive. Investigation showed
that the engine was giving a fire
alarm.
The flames were seen leaping
upward ID the direction of the old
part Of town, and those who hur-
riedIy repaired thitber found the
flames under great headway and
fast dissolving the old store for
merly owned and conducted by
Mr.. A. I. Longino, but which
has been vacant for some months.
From the Longine store the
flames soon spread to the old post
Office building, owned by Mrs. E.
A. Nelson. In this building the
families of Mr.. Burks and Mr..
Lotterhos were residing. Mr..
Burks saved about two-thirds of
his household effects, but we hear
that Mr.. Lotterhos lost all of his
except wardrobe.
The greedy flames soon spread
to the store OF Mr.. A. j. McEvoy,
which also contained the Office OF
DR.. Phil r. Polk. Mr.. McEvoy
saved the most of his goods.
We learn that the Longino
store was insured, but do not
know the amount-of the insurance.
The building was owned by Major
Allen, Of Texas. Mr.. j. A. Jones
had just moved into this building
large stock of merchandise and
some household effects, both be-
ing valued at near So 900, and
which were insured for $4,000.
Mr.. Jones bad just left for Gulf
port, where be went to buy addi-
tlonal merchandise.
The building owned by Mrs. E.
A. Nelson was insured for $500.
The policy expired a few days
ago, but was fortunately renewed
in time.
Mr.. McEyoy was insured for
$400, SO we hear. DR.. Polk had
