PROSPERITY.

Mr.. Christina Hansen, one of our
most successful farmers, who lives
west of Extra, has in course of con-
struction one of the best farm
houses in the state, in fact it will
compare favorably with the modern
city houses. The size of the build
ing is 46 feet long by 16 feet wide,
Is feet high with an ell attached
Is by 16. The house is built in the
shape of the letter I, 46 foot front
with handsomely finished porches
and large bay windows. In the
center of back is the Is foot square
ell with big roony porches. The
farm consists of $50 acres and is in
a very high state OF cultivation.
Mr.. Hansen came to this country
twenty. three years ago and had no
money left when he got here, but
had a store house full of energy,
which he has expended in Audu
bon county soil. Mr.. r. J. Hansen,
of Elk Horn, is doing the work and
he is mechanic of rare ability.
He learned his trade in Denmark
and is finished builder from ma
son work to painting, granting,
testooning and decorating. Mr..
Hansen can now take life easy, and
end his days in peace. That's the
effect of fertile brain matter mixed
with Audubon county's soil.

Hawai1an uuck1eberry.

On the island of Hawaii are great
thickets of the ohelo, or Hawaiian hue
kleberry (Naccinium reticulatum), which
the natives consider sacred to Pele, the
goddess who is supposed to preside
over the famous crater of INilauea, and
which, together with white pigs and
chickens, are thrown by them into the
boiling red lake during an eruption to
appease the wrath OF the aggressive
dame and thus cause the rivers of lava
to cease flowing on their destructive
course. These berries grow i'll clusters
on low bushes right on the very brink
of the birthstone beds and are 50 nu-
merous that Il bushel may be easily
gathered in half an hour. In appear
ance they somewhat resemble a cram
berry. and the flavor is pleasantly sug-
gestive of graneS.

WILL INVESTIGATE
SULLIVAN HOUSE.
Complaints About Place
Cause Grand Jury to
Commence an Inquiry
POLICE INACTIVE

Continued complaints concerning the
conduct of persons in the house at
1896 Geary street have attracted the
attention of the Grand Jury and the
members of the inquisitorial body have
decided to investigate the place. Oc-
cupants of some of the apartments
have appealed to the police to put a
stop to the noise they assert is COM
mon there, but the officers of the law
have made no arrests and declare that
they have found no reason to believe
that the place is disorderly.
Chief Dinan has stated that he would
force all disorderly persons he found
in the house to leave and If he is sue
cessful In this the investigation. of the
Grand Jury may not materialize- The
Chief says that he is handicapped by
lack of policemen, and therefore is
finding much difficulty in preventing
the spread of the disorderly element.
The publicity resulting from the recent
disgraceful automobile episode, in
which Mrs. Joseph Sullivan was lead
ing figure, drew attention to the
Geary- street house.
Yesterday one of the members of the
Grand Jury made a personal tnvestiga-
ton of the place and found evidence
enough to warrant him, he states, in
brin ging-the matter to the attention
of his colleagues at their next regular
meeting.
The investigation by the Grand Jury
will include complaints made against
individual policemen, who, some of the
occupants of the house believe, have
not made very strong efforts to put al
end to the disturbances. A sergeant
sent to inquire into the conditions pre-
vailing at the house is said to have
informed the complainants before leav-
ing it that in his opinion the place was
| orderly.

CONSTRUCTION men WALK
OUT And WORK CEASES
United Railroads Refuses Shorter
Hours and Increased Pay. so
Workers Strike.

The officials of the Street Railroad
Construction Workers Union made
good their threat yesterday to call out
the members Of the organization work
ing upon the tracks of the United Rail-
roads A delegation of several hundred
made the rounds of the Haight, Nc
Allister, Hayes, Larktn and Valencia
street lines and without an exception
the men employed left their work. The
men refuse to longer work for So for
ten hours work a day, but demand an
eight hour schedule and $3.50 day.
The companys officials express them
selves as sanguine over the prospect
of securing men to take the places of
the strikers. Officials of the road es-
innate that from 700 to 1000 men have
left their posts, but maintain that
their places can easily be filled. The
newly organized union claims that
every man responded to the call to
strike and that 600 men left their jobs.
: President James Lynch and Organizer
T. E. Zant were elated at the way the
men responded to the call. They have
given assurances to Chief of Police
Dinan that the strike will be conducted
in an orderly manner. The United
Railroads has refrained from calling
upon the police for protection of its
property. The union relies upon the
urgency of the repair work to force
the United Railroads to accede to it's
demands.
Delegations after visiting the work
ingmen on the roads formed a parade
and with banners flying marched the
length of Valencia street. the last place
where the men left their work. A
smaller delegation was appointed to
meet the night detail of 200 men and 1t
is claimed by union officials that these
men will also join the strikers.

Without mentioning the name of the

disrupted the family relations Mrs
Smith told Judge Murasky yesterday
how her husband, always before kind
and considerate, neglected his own wife
and children and finally left them alto-
gether to seek the society of the new
charmer.
MY husband was as kind as any
husband could be-" Mrs. Smith told the
court, until last September. Then he
commenced staying away from the
house. Finally he took away his dress
suit and his opera glasses and did not
live with us. One night I went to the

come into the theater with a woman
