SUDDEN DEATH Of
MRS. ]. D. CARTER
Her Life Was a Link With
the Early Days of
Honolulu.

Mrs. Joseph 0. Carter died suddenly
yesterday afternoon at 1870 clock at
the family residence, Nuuanu avenue,

for several months, and though her
death at almost any time was not al
together unexpected, it came finally
quite suddenly.
Mrs. Carter was formerly Mary Eliza
beth Ladd. Her father was William
Ladd, whose enterprise as a merchant

permanent place in the history of
these Islands. AS early as 1885 Ladd
& Co. secured land at Koloa, Kauai,
and established what is now Koloa
plantation.
Mrs. Carter was born in Honolulu,
and this was her home throughout her
whole life. She was born June s,
1910, and was married to Joseph 0.
Carter November %, 1859. With her
husband she has been prominent in
the community throughout the years
since then. She was member of
Central Union church and was de-
voted wife and mother.
Besides her husband, six children
survive her-Charlotte A., Mary N.
and Rachael A. Carter, Sarah C. Bah
bitt, wife of W. H. Rabbit; J. o.
Carter, Jr., and Cushman Carter. Mrs.
Carter had long survived her own
brother and sisters.
The funeral services will be held
from the residence this afternoon at
clock. The funeral will not be
private, as has been stated. Rev. II.
H. Parker will offieiate. assisted by
Rev Henry Judd. The interment will
be in the Carter plot in Nuuanu Gem
eterv. The pall-bearers selected had
not all been communicated with last

fore, during and after her reign, one
of the most intimate friends of
Queen I-iliuokalani.

Monkey Fragas a Candidate
Again for Term on the
Reef.

A pair of youthful Portuguese thugs
are in custody at the police station
charged with numerous offenses under
the assault and battery statute, prin-
cipally for beating inoffensive Chinese
at night.
Eddie Fragas, more commonly known
along the Punchbowl section as ''Mon-
key Fragas because of his peculiar
physiognomy, and Manuel de Mello,
were brought to the station yesterday
by detective Medeiros on a warrant
charging them with assault and bat
terry on Simeon Kay last Monday night.
The officers are searching for two other
young Portuguese, the quartet compris-
ing the leaders of a tough gang which
has been terrorizing Chinese residents
of Nuuanu and Pauoa valleys.
According to Chief of Detectives Ka-
-lakiela the assault on Mr.. Kay was
absolutely unprovoked. The man was
sitting on the stone wall on the Eva
side of Nuuanu avenue where the bridge
crosses the stream above Pauoa road
Fragas and de Mello were nearby max
ing remarks about Kay. The latter s
hat blew off and fell on the ground.
AS he stopped to pick it up the two
thugs jumped on him and beat him
badly, and then ran away.
A week ago Saturday night Chi
Txyprlyiprr for 1xraII -lyDn
avenue family was set upon by several
young fellows and beaten. The China
man visited the station yesterday and
identified Fragas positively as one of
his assailants. Two other Chinaman
reported having been jumped upon by
crowd of boys.
A few nights ago a hack with two
men and two women passengers was
being driven up Pauoa road. When OPP
posite the old Atkinson premises four
or FIVE young fellows, among them
Fragas and de Mello, held up the hack,
one holding the horse The young
bandits demanded that the men get out
of the rig. The latter complied and
invited the young fellows to fight.
They were two to one and advanced
in a threatening manner, but as this
all occurred opposite a tenement house
and people began coming out to see
what was wrong the lads suddenly took
to their heels.
Monkey" Fragas achieved consid
cradle notoriety last year by robbing
w. o. Smith and Canon Macintosh of
a large number of pigeons. The birds
were traced to Fragas house on Punch
bowl and he and companion were
arrested and sent to prison for a year.

BEFORE WE CAN

use them, iron and gold must
first be got out of the ore. The
same principle applies to cod liv-
er oil. It's virtues are not in its
fatty matters much less in its
sickening taste and smell. No
consumptive, or sufferer from any
other wasting disease, was ever
greatly benefited by the so-called
"plain" cod liver oil. The shock
it gives to the nerves, the repul-
sion and disgust it excites in the
stomach, the outrages it commits
upon the senses of smell and
taste, are enough to spoil any
medicinal potency that may be
in it~for the majority of people.
This-to say nothing about its
being indigestible. Yet there
has always been reason to believe
that, among the elements which
form cod liver oil, there ex-
listed curative properties of the
highest value. But it was neces-
sary to separate them from the
nauseating waste material with
which they were combined. This
was successfully accomplished in
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
and IN this efectiUe remedy,
made palatable as honey, we have
the very heart and soul of pure
Cod Liver Oil, combined with the
Compound Syrup of Hypophos-
phites, Extracts of Malt and Wild
Cherry These constitute a tissue
builder, a blood purifier, a health
remover beyond comparison. Dis
ease yields to it with a complete
ness and rapidity which aston
ishes medical men quite as much
as it delights their patients. In
all wasting conditions, Scrofula
and Blood Disorders, La Grippe,
Influenza, ETC., it never fails
to relieve and cure. Dr.. E. J.
Boyes says: 81 have found it
preparation of great merit. In
recent case patient gained
nearly twenty pounds in two
months treatment, in which it
was the principal remedial agent.
1t cannot fail or disappoint you.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

AS nOpeQ anu pFeOlCCeu Dy tOe re-
view. the recent county convention
was love feast. 1t has been we'll
defined Crawford county way for many
years. always to stand by the man
who was under the gun, always to
help the Crawford county man when
assistance would be OF value. 1t was
for this reason that all questions of
factionalism were dropped and the
convention was unanimous love-feast
devoted to the interests of Hon. j. P.
Conner. The delegates going to the
state convention went with this I'M
derstanding. No lines were drawn as
to the senatorial situation and this
subject of divisive strife among the
republicans of the state did not enter
into consideration. We do not know
the personal preferences of many on
the delegations as to the senatorship.
but we do know that all are Conner
men. who would be ready to sacrifice
a personal preference for his sake if
occasion arise. This is as it should
be. Should Judge Conner by any
means be defeated. Crawford county
would simply lose prestige and would
gain absolutely nothing. In the same
way that the republicans of the coun-
ty stood behind Leslie M. Shaw when
he was candidate for Governor. as
1hey stood behind Carl F. Kuehnle
when he was a candidate for state
Senator. so now they are behind Judge
Conner with all the power and en-
thusiasm they possess. And they are
not going to allow their effectiveness
to be spoiled by divisive strife along
any line. They are going to have
harmony if they have to wipe the
earth with the fellow who tries to
raise row. Twenty loyal Conner
men will represent Crawford at the
Des MONIES conventions and with
their intelligent and unselfsh support
Judge Conner will be triumphantly
re-nominated to another term Of use
fulness in the Congress of the United
States.
1t is the Crawford county way
The good old way that wins victories
The republicans of the county are tt
be congratulated that they can throw
aside all differences and stand up t,
be counted as one man when the in
terests of another Crawford count.
man are affected.
q ME-. Conner has every reason to b.
grateful to the republicans of tn
county for their loyal support and WI
know he appreciates to the full O
their unselfish friendship.

stuck in the snow drifts of Wyoming
and while we do not wish it anything
but the best of luck we cannot but
like to see the race little closer.
The German car is said to he one of
the best and most substantial in the

win we hope the Protos will. We

prepared to give the car royal well

CHEAP ADVERTISING.

The Review is the cheapest adver-
tislng medium in Crawford county and
in fact it is the cheapest advertiser
in western Iowa.
The normal edition of the Review
is 2750 copies weekly. Of these at
least, 1000 circulate in the county.
Thus for one cent the county merchant
has 1000 copies of his inch advertis-
ment pointed and circulated. Not only
this. but it goes to people who want
the Review and are interested. A
hand-bill may be thrown aside unread,
but the Review is newspaper that
people want and pay for and take into
their homes and read. The Review

county can make such showing as

fail to recognize this fact. If the
