THE JONES FAMILY.


Gazette of Glenns Ferry has passed
to the management Of II. 3. Jones:
the former editor, William L. Hews,
having been rewarded for his faithful
adherance to Jeffersonian principles
by appointment to the HALEY land
Office. Trust the fullest measure Of
prosperity will greet the new manage
ment. though it begins to appear that
the Joneses are getting a monopoly on
things newspaperial in the the state.
There is Brother J. w. Jones, the orig
inal expressionist of the Rigby Star;
Johnny Jones, the editorial dignitary
of the American Falls Press; Uther
Jones, the boosting factotem of the
Malad Enterprise; c. E. Jones, who is
the Impressionist of the Idaho City
World, and possibly one or two more,
but as long as they are not in compet-
tive fields we can feel reasonably sure
that no fatalities or bloodshed will
follow.

FATE ON COAST
Oakland Newspaper Tells a
Weird Tale of Plans for
Seaside Tragedy

Three dice rolled on the marble
desk of fashionable Oakland hotel
decided the fate of, A. w. Wagner
and Mrs. Charles A. Stewart, the for

the woman came as he rolled the dice

side hotel last month may be traced
back, for the decision which prompted
1t, to a careless cast of the dice.
Latest reports from Oakland bear
this out. Says an. Oakland paper:
The gun with which Wagner snuff
ed out the lives Of himself and the
woman repcsed in the safe of the Ho-
tel Oakland for several days. Twice
Wagner called on Chief Clerk Salt for
it. Twice he turned away from it as
it was handed to him over the counter.
The third time, however he drew from
his pocket set Of tiny dice and with
a laugh said that he would throw
''sfxes" to determine whether or not
he would this time take the gun and
use it-'use 1t on little bird that was
bothering his house. was the way he
expressed it.

a little automatic pistol that Wagner
took a great fancy to. The man

REPORT
OF FAIR COMMISSION
HANDED TO GOVERNOR

In response to a request made sew
eral days ago, II. P. Wood, chairman
of the Hawaii Fair Commission, Sat
urday afternoon submitted to Cover
nor L. F. Pinkham a detailed list OF
the proposed expenditures which the
commission has in mind with regard
to Hawaii's exhibit in San Francisco
in 1915. On account Of the fact that
it is in the form of private correspond
ence, the list has not been given out
for publication. Accompanying the
list is a statement of the plans of the
commission. with which the governor
is to some extent unfamiliar.
The detailed list contains a subdi-
vision of the various proposed exhib-
its and the probable cost of these, "
said Mr.. Wood this morning. Il be-
lieve that the governor holds the
same view as does the commission as
far as actual exhibits are concerned; ;
that is, that the main idea of the ex-
hibit will be to encourage people to
visit these islands"

ELKS PLANNING
BIG THINGS FOR
CARNIVAL week
AntIered Herd from Oakland
and Other Visitors To Be
Royalty Entertained,

Honolulu Elks are planning for
very large time during carnival week
in entertaining in fitting manner some
one hundI d or more visiting Elks
and their ladies who are expected to
be here. 1t is said that there are
probably fifty members of the horned
herd. representing mainland lodges
now in the city, and more are arriv-
ing on every steamer.
The largest delegation, however,
numbering over fifty, will, sail from
San Francisco Thursday on the Mar
churia, arriving here Wednesday
morning, the 18TH From advices
which the local lodge has received
practically all of these are members
of Oakland lodge, and they are said
to have had an exceedingly difficult
time in securing accommodations. 1t
was only after the excursion had been
practically abandoned, that the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company came to the
rescue and granted accommodations
for fifty.
This bunch of Elks will take in the
carnival stunts and will visit the vol:
cano, returning in time to take the
Wuhelmina for San Francisco on the
25th. The local Elks are preparing
program of special entertainment
which would seem to make little pro-
vision for such an unimportant thing
as sleep. AS one member said: They
will be able to sleep all the way back
to San Francisco, but we want them
to know they have been to Honolulu"
About half of the. Oakland party, it is
understood, are ladies. All during car
niyal week, it is the intention of the
Honolulu Elks to keep open house for

awaits in fear and trembling He
granted a marriage license to a Por-

years old, and Mrs. Maria Moniz, a
widow, aged 40 years.
Such an act on Treadway's part
would not seem fraught with dire pill

at the time. But when his attention
was called again to the fact this
morning by the Star-Bulletin he made
a portentous discovery.
The couple made such a pitiful plea
of poverty that Treadway generously
forbore to charge the usual 81 license
fee. He suddenly remembered this
morning after it was too late. that
