IN MOUNTAIN WILDS
Daring Climber Lost Since
Signaling From Peak of
HuaScaran.

LIMA. Peru, Aug 19-Niss Annie 5.
Peck. the noted mountain climber, is
still fast in the bleak passes of Mt
Huascaran. whether dead or alive It Is
not vet known. Searching parties were
organized yesterday, and went in Qur-
suit OF the American climber.
The search is not only a hazardous
one. but Miss Peck's achievement OF
mounting 10 $500 feet is one which
never before had been accomplished By
a man or woman. A signal from Miss
Peck last Friday brought news OF her
feat but that IS the last word received
from her or from the two guides who
accompanied her.
Great confidence is felt in AIiCs Peck's
ability to withstand the weather and
overcome the great difficulties that con-
front a climber on the perilous noun
tain peak. but at the some time 1t is
realized that even an experienced
climber IS in great danger.
Miss Peck made an attempt to climb
Mt Huascaran in the summer Of 1905
At that time she reached an altitude Of
q 600 feet. which was the record at that
time. She was compelled to turn back
20 the village. however. through rebel
lion on the part OF her guides, one OF
whom was "a harmless iunatiC' whom
the natives referred to as the loco
and three Indians The loco" was
harmless so far as actual violence was
concerned. but he had habit c. wan
deriug of. Once ne lost himself md the
barometer. The loco" was found, but
the barometer was lost forever. Finally
Wiss Peck was compelled to turn back
without having conquered the mountain.
Last year Miss Peck visited Washing
ton and several other large cities 10 get
funds for her expedition. When her SIS
mai came last Friday that she had
reached q. coo feet everybody here was
aEtonished and her return from the
mountain was eagerly awaited Miss

Anty Drudge Tells How TO Prevent
WaShdaY Smells.

Jones-'HoIy smoke! Is one burning glue in the
kitchen?'
Mrs Jones-'No, Theodore. It's washday you know,
and what you smell is the suds-steam from the wash
boiler"
Anty Dr1dge-'Why don't you use Fels-Naptha and do
away with the washboiler? Then there will be
steam to permeate the whole house every washday."
The Different Kind of Soap. That,
in a nutshell, is Fels-Naptha.
Diferent-because Fels-Naptha / s
more than Soap-it is a different way of
washing.
Diferent-because Fels-Naptha gets
the wash ready for the line in about half
the time of any other soap.
Different-because Fels-Naptha itself
does the work of loosening the dirt from
the fabric, which every other soap leaves to
you to do with the waShboard.
Diferent-because with Fels-Naptha
there's no backache: no need for long
bending over the tub, as with other soaps.
Different because Fels-Naptha saves
the clothes: (1) from weakening of the
FIBRE by heat; ~ from the wear of hard
rubbing.
Dferent-because Fels-Naptha
actually does in cool or lukewarm water
what the best other soaps viii not do even
IN Scalding hot water.
Follow directions on the red and green
wrapper, summer or winter.

An Awful
Accident
Cause Loss of Life at Pu=
u1ene.

Probably the most serious acci-
dent that has ever happened on
the plantation if the Hawaiian
Commercial and Sugar Company
occurred Monday morning at about
$50 a. NJ. when Arthur Allan.
Keke Mau, and IA japanese were
killed and several others were
more or less injured

John Titon, the locomotive en-
gineer was on its way to the fields
no upper Camp Three and running
along over Il straigh. track where
the trains run every day and have
been so running for years.
a switch that is some times used
for the purpose of side tracking
few cars was safely passed by the
locomotive and a few of the ears.
In some unaccountable manner
the other cars jumped the switch
and made off ia another direction
and cased them to upset. OF seven
ty-tive or eighty men on the train
some jumped at the wrong time
and instant death was the fate of
keke Mau and fatal wounds were
tie lot of Arthur Al)en and the
Japanese.
Much credit is given Tilton, the
engineer, for the presence of mind
tie displayed which prevented
wholesale slaughter.
Sheriff Saffery called IA coroners
jury from Wailuku and proceeded
at once to ,he scene of the acc
dent. Many witnesses were called
and each of the juries that sat in
the different cases came TO practi-
cally the same conclusion. that is
that the deceased came to their
deaths as result of some unknown
person drawing the spikes that
held the switch in place.
Each OF the juries held the plan
tation and the engineer blameless
1t is learned from good authori-
ty that the Swicth has not been used
sor some time and that it was
spiked down some time ago but
that the spikes had recently been
drawn by Sone unauth orized per-

deeply the accident but says that
there is no one of whom he knows
that is in any way to blame for
the accident.

A Chinese
Found Dead
In Kailua Reservoir. Died
Of Heart Failure.

On November 9th, a coroner's
jury convened by Deputy Sheriff
Edgar Morton decided that Lum
Guam a Chinese, thirty years of age,
came to his death through heart
disease. The dead body of Lum
Quan had been found in the rcser-
voir at New Kailua," on Paia
plantation and according to the
evidence presented had, been in the
water for five days.
The deceased was an opium
ficndn and was somewhat dement,
ed through sickness and the use of
the drug. He had been employed at
Camp 5, Spreckelesvillc but recent
ly had spent his time in wandering
about the country. 1t is supposed
that his heart stopped action and
death ensued while he was about to
take a drink of water. DR.. W. f.
McConkey made post mortem and
f. p. Rosecrans was foreman of the
jury.
The November meeting of the
Makawao Literary Society took
place last Friday evening, the 9th,
at the residence of DR.. and Mrs. w.
f. McConkey of Paia. The weather
being favorable, there was large
attendance of the people of the dis
trict.
The following program proved
most entertaining;
Piano Solo, Miss Mattlson.

As Il fun-maker, the spelling
school was decided success, but
condsidered from a scholastic stand
point it was something of a tiasco.
Though Makawao Republicans
are pleased at the election as repre-
scntativcs of Messrs. Carley, Naka
leka, Waiwaiole, and Kawaakoa
they regret the defeat of A. j.
Comes of Paia. His failure of elec-
ton was brought about, not through
unpopularity but owing to a COM
plication of circumstances arising
from the tardy resignation of Chas.
X. Farden from the ticket With
only five Republican nominees to
fill the six legislative positions,
there were about twelve hundred
Republican votes to spare. Nawa-
hine (Democrat) owed his success
to some of these twelve hundred
spare Republican votes, which by
unduly swelling Hihio's total caused
the failure of good Republican

Every one knows that the general
ship of Bob Dunn was the deciding
factor which secured for Jacobson the
Republican gubernatorial nomination.
He planned every preconvention move
Of the successful candidate, even to
the gag which kept him quiet until
the plum was picked, and which rem
dered possible the coalescing of the
varying antagonistic elements behind
the man from Lac qui Parle. But a
continuation of this state Of affairs
could not be expected. Jacobson never
did brook control, nor accept advice,
for any great length of time. He has
now broken with his former manager
and is running the machine himself
Just how successfully he is doing this
can be Judged by the effect of his Du-
luth and Minneapolis talks. If he
maintains this record throughout the
campaign Johnsons majority will be
bigger than it was two years ago
against Cole.

A CHOICE OF EVILS.

Jacobson was not nominated by the
Republican convention because he
was the choice Of the Republican
party, but because he was less objec-
tfonable to the influences that con-
trolled the convention than was Ed
ward T.. Young, his principal op-
ponent. Mr.. Young had, In discharg-
ing the duties of his office. accumu-
lated a record in which he justly took
some pride, but it caused him bunch
Of trouble. It did not meet the ap-
prevail of Messrs. Reese, Warner,
Smith. Colonel Wilkinson ct al, and
as Young would not apologize for hav-
ing ofioially lived in Minnesota dur
ing the past three years. nor>repudiate
his ownsrecord, i was up to the bunch
mentioned to find candidate less OBJ
jsctionabls to themselves and the in
terests represented by them than was
Mr.. Young. Mr.. Jacobson was sound
I'D, promised to be good. and was en-
tered for first place, which, with their
backing. he easily secured. He. is the
candidate of those men and Of the
interests behind them, not Of the peo-
pie of the state
The Inference naturally arises that
Mr.. Jacobson made definite promises
for this support, and that il elected he
will pay the price demanded. The
people should know what the deal is
that was eonsummated between Mr..
Jacobson and these men, who never
support a man except for reason, and,
IL such is not given, should withhold
support from him.
