Topeka TESTIMONY
LAKE STREET

Mrs. NJ. E. Olson, $50 Lake street,
Topeka, Kan, says: Recently my
kidneys became disordered and L suf-
fered from severe pains in the small of
my back that made it hard for me to
stoop. At times I had rheumatic
twinges throughout my body. My
back was also very weak and I was
subject to headaches and dizzy spells.
I had often read about Doan's Kidney
Pills and deciding to try them, I pro-
cured a box at Rowley's Drug Store
They relieved me from the first and
continued use did me a world of good.

Pills to other kidney sufferers.

record Of THIS lily white faction
in reference to this one item
watch they take pleasure in de

Following is given some ex-
amples OF the manner IN which
that plank has been lived up to

A close analysis of the situa-
ton leads also to the concl Us on
that the personal friends and
relatives os this faction that now
holds up it's hands in holy hor-
ror at the mere mention of
spoils were not forgotten nor
neglected.
The insnrgent state treasurer
appointed his brother to the
position Of deputy treasurer.
The insurgent secretary of
stale had a nephew and atousin

The insurge Mt attorney gen

RETURNS SLOW COMING IN
Asquith Supporters Jubilant and
Conservatives Lose
Confidence.

LONDON, January 1.-THE indice-
tions are that the Liberals will have
a safe control of the house of commons
with good majority.
The returns from the sixty-six con-
stituencies voted in on Saturday are
slow in coming in, but from the trend
of the polls reported it is now thought
that whatever hopes the Unionists have
entertained of being sustained in their
fight against the budget by the voters
is doomed to disappointment. The ella
ton of the Liberals is great, although
there yet remains some prospect that
the provinces will give the majority
against the government that the Union
lists have hoped for.
The Unionists do not expect any sub
stantial gains in Scotland, Ireland or
Wales, putting their sole hope on the
English voters.

FORMER SLAVE DIES AT 1914

KANSAS CITY, January l. =
esquire" Swaney, said to be Oldest
negro in Kansas City, died at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Nancy Wilburn,
1912 Highland avenue, at seven O'Clock
yesterday morning. He was born on
the plantation of John Bean in La
fayette county, Kentucky, in 1905, be-
ing 104 years old at the time of his
death. Swaney lived on the Bean plan
tation as slave untilF1S59, when his
owner moved to Platt county, Missouri.
In 1860 he was sold to Squire Swaney,
of Plat county, who had moved to Mis-.
souri, from Kentucky several years be-
fore.
When the Civil War broke out he en-
listed in Company E, Eighth Regi-
ment, U. S. colored volunteers, serving
throughout the war and being honor
ably discharged from the service at its
close. After the war the dead man
took the name of his "Marser," Squire
Swaney, and moved to Tongnoxie,
Kansas, where he bought farm and
lived until three years ago when he
sold his farm and went to the Old
Soldiers home at Leavenworth. -Four
months ago he came to Kansas City
and made his home with his daughter
Swaney is survived by his second
wife, twelve children, twenty nine
grandchildren, forty-four greatgrand
children, and two great-great-grand
children. The body will be sent. to
Tongnoxie, Kansas, for burial.

Storm of Last Week Proved the
Stability and Usefulness of
Hilo Work.
HARBoR WATERS WERE QUIET
KahuIui BreakWater Failed to
Stand the Seas Fury
Some Damage.

Owing to the ravages of the storm
which swept the north coast of Hawaii
last week, work on Hilo breakwater
has been set back a week or more. The
great waves, which swept over the un-
finished breakwater to a depth of ten
feet, washed the railroad tracks off the
top of the works and wrought consid-
cradle other damage. The rails dis
appeared beneath the water and be-
came lost, and little work will be pos
sible until new rails are secured and
the track replaced.
While the storm was at its height,
the great waves which broke over the
/ breakwater threw spray into the air to
a height of fifty feet, according to eye
witnesses. and for time it looked as
though the whole work must go. But
when the wind subsidized, and the waves
grew smaller, it was discovered that
the breakwater proper had sustained no
damage and that only the frail super
structure had been carried away.
The storm, according to kamaainas,
was the worst which has visited the
section in seven years, and the fact
that the unfinished breakwater resist
ed the fierce onslaughts of the elements
is highly gratifying to Hilo people.
On Friday the swell was so heavy in
Hilo harbor that the Mauna Kea was
unable to dock, and was forced to take
her passengers aboard by means of
boats. Nevertheless, there was no
time when the water in the harbor was
rough enough to threaten damage to
the ships inside, and, according to
those who came in on the Mauna Kea
Saturday morning, had the breakwater
been completed the harbor waters would
have been absolutely calm.
Kahului Less Fortunate.
Maui also had some experience with
the storm, and Kahului did not escape
as happily as did Hilo. The following
is from the last issue of the Maui
News:

WANTS LINK TO
ABATE NUISANCE
-'-c1
Land-Locked One Is Sued by
the Attorney-Gene
Department.

A suit was instituted yesterday aft
ernoon by the Territory of Hawaii, by
the attorney general, against Lincoln
McCandless, the original small home
steader and the Hope of the People,
to abate a nuisance. The Territory
also wants the courts to issue an in
junction restraining Link from con-
timing the nuisance any longer.
The allegations of the complaint are
to the effect that McCandless, who has
acquired tract of land at Lualualei,
Waianae, by homesteading, has. by
erecting fences and other distractions,
shut out the common people from the
use of thoroughfare that has been
theirs from time immemorial. These
fences and distractions, in tho opinion
of the attorney-genera constitute q
nuisance and should be abated at once
and McCandless should be forever en-
joined from interfering with the rights
of the general public by the erection
of fences and other distractions across
the highways of the said general
public.
The road, which McCandless is said
to have closed up, is a trail that crosses
his land. The trouble arose when
Colonel Schuyler and his troops, out
on a practice campaign, charged full
tilt into the fence erected by McCand-
less across what they regarded as a
public road McCandless and his
agents refused to take down the OBJ
structions that blocked the advance OF
the army, and the army complained to
the Governor. As a result the attor-
ney-general was instructed to investi-
gate the matter and see what was do
ing. The task fell to the lot of Deputy
Attorney General Andrews, who has
concluded that Link is making a nut-
sonce of himself and his fences.

WEAVING GRASS
Is BEING GROWN

The experiments which the bureau
of agriculture and forestry has made
with esparto grass have been so sue
cessful that there is every indication
that this valuable grass may be ex.
tensively grown for commercial pur-
poses in these Islands in the very near
future.
Esparto grass is used by the Port
uguese for weaving fabrics and the first
specimens were brought here by the
Portuguese consul. The imported seeds
were turned over to the bureau of agri-
culture and were planted at the Ma
kiki experiment station. Almost from
the first it was evident that the grass
could be successfully grown here and
planting was done on larger scale.
AS soon as the experiment station
grows large enough supply, the seeds
will be distributed among the Port
uguese and it is believed that profit
able industry will be developed.
