Halsey Put Quietus On.

\ quietus has been put upon efforts
10 enlist government for the Russians
in Hawaii. This has come in the form
of a report by immigration Inspector
HaIsey, to the Department of Com
merce and Labor, on charges by Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor. that there was
peonage in the Islands. Mr.. Halsey,
as may be already known in Honolulu,
finds that the charges were grossly
exaggerated. 1t is rumored that Mr..
Gompers received his information from
an immigrant named. Vasilieff. 1t IS
understood here that the grand jury in
Hawaii has been investigating Nasi-
Left and that the Department Of Com
merce and Labor may have to pass
upon his case eventually.
Mr.. Halsev found that immigrants
in Hawaii were not badly treated and
that they were given quite satisfactory
conditions for agricultural employ
ment. The hardships incident to that
EMPLOYMENT are not more severe II
the Islands, according to the inspector
than in other localities. The terri
/ torial board of immigration will be
required to send back immigrants ina

PUBLIC BENEFITED
Wenatchee People Greatly Interested
in the Generous Offer at the
Owl Pharmacy

The people have already demon
strated that they would rather trust
man who is naturally honest, than
one who was honest only because he
had to be.
The proprietor of the Owl Phar-
macy has a firmly established repu-
tation for square dealing and ster-
ling honesty. When he told the peo-
pie that Rexall Remedies are the
purest and most dependable RENE
dies that it is possible for modern
science to produce, and that he would
tell the public exactly what each one
of these 800 remedies contained, and
that he sold Rexall Remedies on his
own personal guarantee that they
would give entire satisfaction or the
medicine would not cost the user
single cent, he was believed.
Ever since this announcement the
owl Pharmacy has been crowded by
people buying Rexall Remedies; all
of which proves that the proprietor
has the confidence of the people and
that honesty is the best policy.
There is no "cure-all'' among the
Rexall Remedies,-there are 500 diff
ferent and separate medicines; one
for each human i'll, and each I'M
questionably the best of its kind.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are par
ticularly recommended for the posi-
tive cure of stomach irritation, indi-
gestion and dyspepsia. They are
rich in Bismuth, Subnitrate Pepsin
and Carminatives, and are prepared
by a special process which perfects
and enhances the great curative
value of these we'll known agents.
This remedy sells for 25c a package.
Everyone suffering from a stomach
disorder should try Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets, inasmuch as they cost moth
ing if they do not satisfy.
The proprietor of the Owl Phar-
macy is certainly fortunate in secur-
ing control of the sale of these rem
edics, and we urge everyone in need
of medicine to investigate and take
advantage of his frank and generous
offer
