latter Office referred Mr. Semple's let

Of the several political party heads,

Nothing is so attractive as a
cleanly home; nothing con-
tributes so much to cleanliness
as Gold Dust. No matter what
it touches- china, pots and
pans, floors, woodwork, clothes,
etc. it cleans thoroughly,
leaves everything spotlessly
clean, bright and attractive.
Don'tuse up all your timeand
strength trying to keep things
clean; use Gold Dust every
where you can in all your
household cleaning let it
dothework. Itworkssoquickly
and thoroughly that really it
makes cleaning a pleasure
instead of a task. 1t makes

ViGo, Spain, Jan. 16.-The British
steamer Veronese ran aground this
morning on the rocky coast Of Viso
Bay, near where the famous naval bat.
tie was fought more than a century
ago. She has one hundred and thirty
nine passengers on board. So far al;
efforts Of the life savers here to reach
her have proved fruitIess as the mon
ster seas drove back the boats, ane
she is too far out to permit the use Of

she will begin breaking up under the
heavy pounding of the waves and that

When the Democrats of Hawaii for.
mally protested against the .seonfir-
nation of Cove rnor Frear another OBJ
stacle was placed in the pathway of
success. 1t had already become ap-
parent that no action would be taken
OH the nomination, giving Governor
Frear another term, because of the
general agreement among the Demo-
Gratis that all of President Taft's civil
appointments would be held up until
after March 4. The protest from Ho-
nolulu only served to strengthen the
argument of the Democrats and make
confirmation more difficult and less
probable.
The Hawaiian protest, addressed to
the president pro tenn. of the senate,
was laid before that body in open ses
sion when it recOnvened after the
Christmas holiday recess. The clerk
began reading the two COmmunica-
tions in a loud voice when Mr.. Gal
linger hoped to his feet and with
drew them. They should have been
presented in executive session. That
course was followed several days la
ter, when it was found possible to
have a secret palaver over nomina-
