Peoria ILL., and of former United States pension COM
missioner has volunteered to the prosecuting attorney the
information that he is forger and given himself up to

He is than $4,000 to the bad and without cent

He says high living did it-that and reckless specula-
tion through which he hoped to his inordnate ex
penses.
1t is pathetic tale he tells of how he committed his
tst crime to money for living expenses how he
could not meet the forged note when came DUE how he
plunged into speculation in hope of making big enough
bunch of money to help him out.

ADMIRAL DAYTON GRANTS PER-
MISSION FOR A TREAT FOR PUB
Lie SCHOOL PUPILS.

Through the courtesy of Admiral
Dayton of the Pacific fleet of the United
States, and in direct charge at the pre-
sent time of the squadron of four big
cruisers now in Honolulu harbor, the
children of the public schools of the
city are to be permitted to make a
minute inspection of the great fighting
machines some day next week.
Superintendent w. Ii. Babbitt, of the
Board of Education called on the Ad-
miral this morning, and as the result
of his visit was advised that the chill
dren will be welcomed and notification
of the time and hour for the event will
be made early next week.
The courtesy of the Admiral is much
appreciated by Superintendent Babbitt
and all the members of the board, as
the visit to the cruisers will in itself
be almost liberal education to the
children.
The Board has made a number of APP
pointments today to fill few remain
ing vacancies ip the list of teachers
for some of the schools. These appoint
ments, however, are only tentative and
may be changed later.
In the Central Grammar school:
Miss Loomis has been advanced to
the 7th Grade to take the place of Miss
Gait, who goes to Puunene, as princi-
pal.
Miss Jane Winney and Miss Ellen
Bicknell, 9Th Grade.
Miss Eleanor B. Writ, will however
substitute for Miss Bicknell during the
fall term.

CURRIERS' CAPTAIN
NOT TO BLAME
LOSS OF THE SHIP IN ALASKA
WAS IN A VERY DANGEROUS
PLACE.

SEATTLE, August 26.-Capt. H. De
Guelder, of the bark Guy c. Goss, was
in company with the ship John Cur
rier when that vessel left Nushagak
shortly before she was lost in Alaska
last week. Captain De Guelder states
that the wreck was one liable to hap
pen to any master during this time OF
the year in far Northern waters, and
thinks Capt. Murchison exempt from
any blame.
"The point where the Currier went
ashore" said Capt. De Guelder yester.
day." is a low, projecting stretch OF
land, and almost invariably hidden by
fog at this time of the year. The vege-
tation is scraggy and low and there is
nothing to distinguish the place from
open water at night or in thick wealth
er.
"The navigation Of this piece of wa
ter is intricate work, especially when
the weather conditions such as we met
on our trip south prevail Capt. Muir

During an epidemic of grip Peruns
should be used. The doses recon-
mende6 on the bottle are sufficient.
After the grip has once been acquired,
DIR. Hartman recommends the use Of
Peruna in teaspoonful doses every hour
during the acute stage, after which the
directions on the bottle should be fol-
lowed.
Experience has shown that the people
who use Peruna as q remedy for grip
generally recover sooner and are less
liable to the distressing and long-con-
tinued after-effects of the grip.
When Peruna has not been used dur
ing the course of the grip and the patient
finds himself suffering from the after
effects of this disease, a course of Peruna
should be resorted to.
