THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH EiEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard of
this terrible disease? It prevails in
that far-away countrY-Africa- Es-
pecially the Congo district. 1t is caus-
ed by the bite of the tsetse fly. When
it bites a person, the sleeping symp-
toms begin and finally the sufferer
sleeps until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful,
balmy sleep of health. Is there any,
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short of letting the tsetse
fly bite us we would do almost any,
thing for relief. How can we pre-
vent it? Mr.. George Hayes, of
Union City, Pa, writes: Il had lost
my appetite, was all rundown, could
not sleep nights. | had tried every
thing without relief. Vinol was rec
commended, and to my surprise, 1t
helped me at once; gave me splendid
appetite, and now / sleep soundly. :"
What Vinol did for Mr.. Hayes, it
will do for every rundown, nervous
and overworked person who cannot
sleep.

OF Interest to Veterans.

AS a matter of information, State
Treasurer Edwards has given out
COPY of the following to the press;
ITO Sheriffs and Tax Collectors:
Owing to the failure of the Legisla-
ture to make arrangements for suffi-
cient amount of revenue to meet all
of the appropriations, it will not be
possible to pay all of the Confederate
pension warrants issued by the Audi
tor of Public Accounts, / fear, until
some time in January, unless some
plan is devised by which these war
rants may be converted into money.
I am personally more anxious to see
the Confederate pensions paid than |
am to see any other obligation of the
State discharged. "
'"The men who marched with Lee,
Jackson and the Johnsons in the try
ing times of sixty-five, most Of whom,
from of old age, lean heavily upon
their stats, should find a better re-
cognition from a great State, which
shares with them in the immortal re-
nown that clusters and crystallzes
around the name of Confederate
soldier. AS it is, the pittance which
these old vetrans receive is meager
enough, and it should be paid prompt
lH and without delay. To many of
them it will serve to stay awhile the
ravages of grim want. The approach
ing Christmas-tide, accompanied by
happy retrospection. of life, bringing
with it wants and desires to these
grizzled old heroes, should be bur-
den upon the heart of a grateful State,
which should bend its every energy to
discharge promptly this dept of love. -
"In order to facilitate the payment
of the pension money will accept as
money from all sheriffs, in their set
tlement with me, the warrants of the
Auditor of Publit Accounts. This
pension money must be paid, and !
certainly hope that you will do all
within your power to bring it about. "
''With best wishes, I am cordially
and sincerity,
"GEORGE R. EDWARDS, JR.,
estate Treasurer.

Panama Canal Damaged.

Panama, Nov. %. 3.-Sensational re-
ports were in circulation here to-day
to the effect that what is known as
the south toe of the Gatun Dam of
the Panama Canal had sunk. Some
time ago rumor had it that an under
ground lake had been formed there at
depth of ZIG feet. The dam at
Gatun already has been built about
forty feet above sea level.
Lieutenant Colonel Goethals, Chief
Engineer of the Canal Commission,
telephoned the Associated Press that
a slide had occurred at Gatun, but
that it was of no great Importance,
being similar to other slides that
have taken place during the rainy
season at several points along the
canal.
For the past twenty days it has
been raining continually throughout
the Republic. The Chagres River is
flooded and all the railroad tracks al
Gatun are under water. The floor OF
the pumping station is submerged tt
a depth of five feet and the lock sites
also are flooded. The pumping sta
ton was used to keep the the lock
sites clear from the water.

Gainesville, Mo-, Nov. %. The
wives of two well-to-do farmers
fought desperate duel with bow lie
knives in lonely spot on the noun

wounded.
The two women, Mrs. Frank Gra-

Until recently there had been no

The duel was the outgrowth of a
disagreement between the husband

NINE. BLANCHE ARRAL
IN FAREWELL CONCERT

Tonight Nine. Arral gives her fare
well concert in Honolulu at the Opera
House. A program of such artistic
and also popular value should draw a
huge house to farewell this great sing
err, who is giving the treasures of an
exceptionally great repertoire.
The program, the principal numbers
of which appear on another page, is
the richest that has ever been offered
here, and those who love music should
not miss tonight's concert.
The entire mad scene from Hamlet
will be given, depicting the frenzy of
Ophelie over the supposed faithlessness
of Hamlet. This is as much of a mas
terpiece in music as the great tragedy
in blank verse-probably more so, as
it has the advantages of music and
mis- en- scene to appeal to the passions
of the audience, and enacted by Nine
Arral brings the poignant sorrow of
Ophelie right to every heart.
The selections from Mignon have
already been mentioned and those who
attend are assured of a veritable feast
of melody and the selections from the
great masters sung by the greatest
exponent of the old operas extant.
Such an opportunity should not be
missed by anyone in this town who
has the least claim to musical
knowledge.

Governor Frear is almost ready to

lands in Koolau viii be disposed of,
and perhaps the Kappa lands on Kauai.

matter nearly all day, in consultation
and conference most of the time witt
Land Commissioner Pratt, Attorney
General Hemenway and Secretary
Mott Smith.
The form of the special agreement
has not yet been fully decided on. It
will be very much like the form which
was proposed by the Governor before
he went to Washington. There will be
some changes in it based on sugges-
tions made by Secretary Garfield, and
some changes based on suggestions by
others.
Suggestions have been received from
a great number of sources, and all of
these have been considered.

stories published some months ago to
the effect that the japanese were mo-
billing in Hawaii in anticipation of a
war with the United States, but these
were largely if not entirely in the i'm
agination of the writers. OF course,
there are large number of japanese
in the Islands, and following the little
trouble at San Francisco a great many
Japs who had planned to go there
stopped at Honolulu in fear that they
would not be welcomed on your west

pace that has been set. In fact, we

sight of a big fleet for my people, and

A very pretty comedy drama is ga
Bachelors Romance which was pre-
scented by the Lumley Company at the
Orpheum last night before an audience
which was small, but appreciative. In
this play, as seen at the first per-
Torrance, the ladies of the cast ap-
pear to better advantage than the
men, Miss Keane being particularly
good in the part of Sylvia, the youth
full and pretty ward of the bachelor
to whom came the romance.
Sharing the honors with Miss Keane
last night was Miss Harriet Jocelyn,
who demonstrated again her talent in
character work.
Another excellent character was that
of Mr.. Mulburg, played by E. E. Bal
lard. The part was a small one, but
it was perhaps the only male part last
night that was done full justice to. The
other members of the company ap-
peared to be tired.
"a Bachelors Romance is good
however, and worth seeing, deserving
certainly a better house than greeted
it.
While critically inclined, it might be
mentioned that the soubrette, who
dances prettily between the acts at the
Orpheum, would make hit and be
much more successful if she would tone
down her acting in her songs and mod
lfy the excessive playing to individ-
uals in the audience This dancer is
clever, but supposes that variety show
methods will add to her attractiveness.

United States Government has made a
100000 appropriation for participa-
tion in the Alaska Yukon-Pacifc Expo
sition, the work creating the 1909 fair
has been given an impetus. While
there has never been any doubt in the
minds of the management as to the
success of the exposition, and as to it's
being ready on time, the government s
action has stimulated more interest in
the fair throughout the country.
During the past week applications
for concessions and exhibit space have
been pouring into the Offices in the Ad-
ministration building. The construc-
tion work has gone ahead without any
cessation, and there are finished or
under construction nine buildings.

signs are finished construction will be
started. Of the total appropriation,
$250,000 will be spent in the buildings

the Republican National Convention at
Chicago, which opens June II, was in
the city yesterday on his way to the
Windy City. He is accompanied by
Mrs. Garcia, and the two spent the
day in sightseeing in the vicinity of
Colorado Springs.
In view of the relations of the United
States and the Orient within the last
few months, the remarks of Mr.. sGafcia
on his home country are of interest.
After expressing his delight at what he
had seen in the Pixies Peak region, he
talked of Colorado in a way that APP
peals strongly to the boys in khaki who
went to the Philippines in 1898, when
the Spanish-American war was on.

that we had become citizens of the

into port at an early hour, there
were great many people there to
greet the troops, and the establishment
was widespread when they heard the
familiar strains Of their national air
played by an American band.
1t was afterwards published in the
papers that the band leader had learn
ed the melody from the purser of the
ship, who whistled it for him, and had
arranged it for his band"
