friends telegraphed the undertaken an
order to make a large wreath.
Investigation showed that the tele-

follows:
-"'Rest in peace on both sides of

goods in stock, and must purchase
them after your order is received. In
Chicago, for example, no mail order
house will sell to any person living
within the city limits, and the reason
for this is that these concerns pur.

THE FARMERS UNION
Has Not Abandoned the Idea of Building
 a Warehouse at Prescott.

We are in recei pt of an article from W. c. Felts, Secretary ofthe Nevada County Farmers Union, in which he states that the erec- tiOn of a warehouse at Emmet by the County Line Union will in no way interfere with the building of a warehouse at Prescott by County Union. That the matter of selling stock in the concern has not been as successful as was desired, but that the committee appointed at Hickory Grove to raise the money has not given up hope, but are still securing sub scriptions.
 Mr. Felts compliments the merchants of Prescott for agree ing to take 49 per cent of the stock, and to donate the lot, and feels that the matter will come to a successful conclusion soon.
 It is suggested in the article that the Brushy Creek Union, which holds a rally on Saturday May II, invite the County Union to join them and that at this meet ing the County Cnion should reach a decision in the matter.

ing could have so successfully broken
the ice of a first meeting with a
strange people in a strange land. 1t
saves visitors the dull and tedious
horror of an address of welcome, and
makes two smiles grow where there
were none before An unimaginative
citizen would feel rather foolish riding
up Broadway in a low-neck hack with
his neck entwined with circlets of red
and white carnations set off by long
streamers of smilax, and with a chap
let of hibiscus flowers, each one as big
as a tea cup, set upon his head like a
crown. Yet, white-headed Gen. Keifer,
Speaker of the House in the Forty
seventh Congress, and veteran of two
wars, rode from the transport dock to
his hotel in this Tegalia, the admired
of all beholders. His fellow visitors,
their wives, daughters, and sisters,
were equally adorned, and the effect
of the line of carriages was of floral
parade of southern California. The
novelty and warmth of such a welcome
made one disposed to see what was to
be seen with generous, kindly eyes.
The Hawaiians are people who de-
light in giving. Many sad experiences,
many fleecings, many encounters with
willy sharpers, have not taught them
acquisitiveness, or the desire to retain
possession of what they have Their
generosity is not the lip-givlng Of the
Spaniard With slightest provocation
they offer you freely their dearest pos
| session and are pleased when you ac-
cept the gift. They have invited here
twenty-five lawmakers of the nation
of which they have become a part.
These men they have shown a delight
in honoring. The land lies fair, bath
ed in sunshine and decked in the
green, red, purple, and yellow of many
flowers for those who have come from
the mainland "for to see and for to
! admire"
