F. G. SMITH, Manufacturer of Pianos. Western Warerooms, 1000 Walnut KANSAS CITY, MO. A Letter From Miss Anna Rose's Home.

The following letter received from Mr. W. H. Smith, editor of the Hilo, Hawaii Tribune, was received this morning, with the request that it be given publicity. The letter was mailed at Hilo, September 9, and bears the Hilo postmark of September 9, and of Honolulu, September 10.

The letter is evidently genuine and not one of Daye Leahy's fake stories. Regarding 1 the report detrimental to the character of Miss Rose, we will say, we have never heard of it, but publish the letter so if the report is circulated here the people of Topeka and Kansas may know that there is absolutely no truth in it. The following is the letter: Office of the Hilo Tribune Pub. Co. W.

H. SMITH, Editor, Hilo, Hawaii. HILO, HAWAII, U. S. Sept.

7, '68. ED. NORTH TOHEKA are I suppose aware that a young lady is to go to Topeka this year to represent the Hawaii people at the Fair, as Queen of the Carnival. Miss Anna Rose, of Hilo, is the lady selected and she has just lett Hilo en route for Topeka. It has been learned here that certain individuals, have for some unknown reason, forwarded to the Topeka press a statement derogatory to Miss Rose's character, and that of her family.

The report is not at all pleasing to the best people of Hilo, with whom Miss Rose associates socially, and is utterly without foundation, so far as the character of the lady herself is concerned. It seemed that a statement to this effect, coming from this office might have some influence i in counteracting the effect of the report, and for this reason I have taken the liberty of addressing you. Very Respectfully, W. H. SMITH, Editor Hilo Tribune.

Queen of The Sea. The "Queen of the Sea," the pleasing spectacular pertormance, put on entirely by juveniles, was given at the Grand on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of this week. Mrs. E. B.

Meredith, under whose direction it was given, deserves much credit for the pretty performance and good work done. It was for the benefit of the floral parade and should have had better houses. The parts in the cast were well taken, the scenic effect beautiful, and the many children who appeared in the dances well drilled. Address to Socialists. TOPEKA, KANSAS, Sept.

22, 1898. COMRADES IN THE VAN OF HUMAN PROG- RESS: The clumsy and oppressive law 1S complied with. Our ticket is now legally upon the official ballot of the State; the greatest and most heroic struggle of the age is begun. Will you rise to the importance of the occasion and battle with Spartan courage for the RIGHT? or will you like some craven peon, serf or slave slink behind some slim excuse to vote for our oppressors "just once more," because, forsooth, "some other fellow" may be guilty of a like folly? Stand up, dear Comrades in the Van Guard of Glory! Make some sacrifice in furnishing necessary ammunition, and we will force the politicians to seek shelter in a more congenial clime than Kansas. Kingcraft, aristocracy, and greedy "commercialism," has absorbed the wealth produced by our hands until today we camp in the vestibule of an universal poorhouse.

But live, if needs be, upon bread and water for sixty days, that hereafter, we and our children may enjoy the fruits of our toil unmolested. I am Yours to Command. C. P. JUDD, Ch'm.
