Taxa Care of the Enns.

1t is to be deplored that one-third Of
the entire amount received for eggs
goes into the hands Of the handlers as
profit. If those who produce eggs
would apply the same care and atten-
ton to the hens, the cleansing of the
nests, caring for packing and shipping
the eggs that are applied by the han
dlers when they come into possession
OF them more than S50,000,0O0 addi-
tional income would go into the pock-
cts Of the owners Of the hens.

Exhausted

Guthrie. Okla, Nov, 11.-As an aft
ermath of Tuesdays national and
state elections it was discovered to-
day that no provision is.made for the
Indebtedness incurred by the secretary
of state in preparing the official bal
lots for the initiated state questions.
This indebtedness aggregates $4,000.
and, in the light Of this discovery,
it will be necessary for the secretary
to appear before the legislature on
behalf of special appropriation to
cover this indebtedness. The intent
of the law is, obviously, that such
Indebtedness should be met from the
secretary's contingent fund But as
Secretary Cross has never asked for
such fund, this special legislation
will be necessary.

SEEKING MARKET FOR
OUR MOTHER OF PEARL

A. L. c. Atkinson, who owns several
oyster beds in the Pearl Harbor lochs,
is to experiment with the bivalves to
learn if some commercial use can not
be made of the shells. The pearl Har-
Dor oyster, which only comes up through
the mud at certain periods of the year,
boasts of shell which carries mother
of-pearl lining of particularly beautiful
sheen, and it is Mr.. Atkinson s idea to
see if there is not market for this
ware
Heretofore the mollusk which has
given a name to what is going to be
the greatest naval harbor in the world
has been a mythical creature so far as
the majority of people are concerned,
although the Hawaiians living about
the lochs have luaued considerably dur
ing the months with RS in them ever
since the early missionaries translated
that verse into Hawaiian which has to
do with pearls and swine. Now, Mr. At
kinsOn will find a use for that part of
the oyster which has survived the luau
The Pearl Harbor oyster shell mother
of-pearl is to be had in considerably
larger pieces than that found in the
shells of the farther south, where the
mother-of-pearl is divorced for com
mercial uses. 1t has, also, a luster
and eoloring higher than the ordinary,
and the idea is TO see if a market price
can not be had for it high enough to
make oyster fishing profitable. The
Promotion Committee are sending away
a sample lot of shells to Eastern jewel
ers and other users of mother-of pearl
to secure their opinion on the quality
of the Hawaiian product.
There is a chance of finding pearls
also. Mrs. johnson, a Hawaiian, got
three fine specimens from Pearl Harbor
oysters a few months ago.

ANNUAL REPORTS WILL
BE ELABORATE ONES

The county statisticians are busy at
present compiling figures for the use
of the new Board of Supervisors, to
take their seats next month. This
year it is of the greatest Importance
that the work of the county be re-
duced to elaborate figures because of
the requirements of the municipal law,
which makes it obligatory on the
county fathers to appropriate for de-
partmental uses in a way quite differ
ent to that hitherto in use. The mu-
nicipal law follows somewhat along
the lines of the procedure in the Leg
islature, where the estimates for the
different departments are made in ad-
vance for stated period and the ap-
preparations made accordingly. It may
be that the one who drafted the mu-
nicipal act followed one drafted for a
municipality where the tax rate was
based on the estimates, instead of as
here, where the estimates have to be
based on the amount Of taxes, but
such it is.
On this account, therefore, all ap-
preparations having to be made by or
dinance or resolution and advertised,
the new members of the board will
have to know pretty well what is nee
essary in the way of work and what
the approximate cost is going to be.
The necessary work they viii have to
learn for themselves; the approximate
costs of various works done are being
now figured down to fine point to
give the members something to go by.
Most of the compilations are being
done in the office of the County Clerk,
although the County Engineer and the
Road Supervisor will have elaborate
statistical reports to make by January
/. Both the latter officials are also
cleaning up all their work in hand IN
order to have their house in order to
turn over to their successors, if there
are to be such.

form was lettering about the place and
was there late at night. He learned
also that the electric light ON the porch
which Madame Lambert keeps lighted
during the night time, had been turned
out by the intruder, which was reason
why she could not get good look at
the fellow. Outside the window were
two boxes, one on top of the other.
Tne man could have entered through
the window, or by the door, as the lat
ter was unlatched.
The madame says that had she bet
ter opportunity she would have held her
assailant, but she was at a disadvantage
from the beginning of the struggle. She
wore handkerchief about her throat
yesterday. The imprint of fingers was
easily discernible on the back of her
neck.

ing to find herself in the clutches of
an intruder in her cottage on Richards
street adjoining the office bungalow of
DIR. Murray. She fought him off and
he got away.
= Madame Lambert has had foreknowl-
edge of efforts to unlawfully enter her
cottage, for couple of weeks ago
a box was found beneath one of the
windows and traces were left of an
attempt to break in. The knowledge
of this attempt alarmed the woman and
she has been on her guard since
There are roomers in her house and
only one was home on the night of her
adventure. During the evening she had
been absent from the cottage. On re-
turning and preparing to retire she no.
ticed that the hook attached to the in
side of the French shutter doors had
been bent and after working sometime
over it she abandoned the task, and
the door was therefore not locked when
she retired. In the light of subsequent
events the midnight visitor is believed
to have watched the cottage and when
hook so that it could not easily be used
for latching the door.
Having a fear that efforts to enter
her cottage might be renewed, Madame
Lambert kept her dog in her bedroom
when she retired. The dog, however,
awakened her several times by contin-
uously scratching, and finally about 1
a. m. she arose and put him in an ad-
joining room and returning to her own
room, went to sleep. She awoke with
start. A hand was lying on her face
and as she started, frightened, fingers
closed around her neck and a voice
came out of the darkness: "Shut upi -
She struggled, however, and the fingers
closed tighter and tighter around her
neck. But she managed to get into the
middle of the room all the time fight
ing her assailant. In the dim light of
a street lamp, she could not plainly
see the man who held her. She only
knows that he wore light trousers and,
she believes, a sort of jumper jacket.
He suddenly let go his hold and de-
parted through an open window.
Madame Lambert was terribly frigh-
tened. She called out for help, and
later on sent for the police. An officer
arrived about 4 clock, heard her story
and returned to the station. At 7:30
she went to the police station in person
to see the Chief of Detectives, but was
told he would not be around until con-
siderably later. She could not wait so
long. Owing to court business the chief
was unable to attend personally to the
case, but during the forenoon a detee-
tive was detailed but got no clue.
From Madame Lambert he learned
that on Monday a man in soldier uni

STEWARD
SAD ENDING
\ Morbid Man Takes Poison and
Passes Away Very
Quickly.

''I have taken poison and the bottle
is in my pocket; send for Captain Par
ker to be witness, so there will be no
trouble to you about how l died"
These were the final words uttered
by James Steward as his eyes closed in
death shortly after o'cloek yesterday
afternoon in his residence III Buckle
lane, off vineyard street. Mr.. Steward
died peacefully and with none of the
agonizing incidents generally connect
ed with death by the poison route.
For the past two years Mr.. Steward
has not been in good health and he has
brooded much of late. At one time he
was a heavy user of intoxieants, but
he stopped drinking two or three years
ago. In the last few weeks he was no.
ticed by his family to be brooding and
at least once has threatened to commit
suicide.
He went down town yesterday morn
ing, and remained away from home un-
til shortly before 3 clock. After his
death search of his clothes revealed a
one-eighth-ounee bottle of strychnine
with half the contents gone. The
stryehnine, properly labeled "poison, -
was in a Chambers Drug Company
wrapper. Inquiry at the drug store de-
4 veloped the fact that Mr.. Steward
bought the bottle of strychnine about
IL a. m. and signed the "poison
record book kept for that purpose as
provided by law. The purpose for
which he wanted the poison was set
down briefly, ''rat poison.'
Upon returning home about O'Clock
Mr.. Steward went to the bathroom and
closed the door On coming out he went
to his bedroom and TO his wife said
that he felt i'll. His wife Immediately
left the house and went to a neigh
bor's to telephone for Dr. Baldwin,
whom she asked to come at once. On
returning to the bedside of her hus-
band, he made the statement that he
had taken poison. He was then quite
Ill, but perfectly conscious. Other men,
bers of the family were sent for. VIM.
Steward, patrol wagon driver at the
police station, arrived just as his father
breathed his last.
Sheriff Iaukea and Chief of Detee
tives Kalakiela visited the Steward
home, and after learning the facts, de-
cided that coroner's inquest was un
necessary. The half-illed bottle of
stryehnine was given into the keeping
of Sheriff Iaukea, who made inquiries
concerning it at the Chambers drug
store. Mr. Bierbaeh, member of the
firm, showed the book where Mr.. Stew
ard had signed his name
"Mr. Steward has bought stryehnine
from us before,'' he said, "and has al
ways SAID it was to be used as a rat
poison. As long as we know who pur-
chasers of poisons are, we sell them,
