The Koloa mill has been thoroughly
overhauled, and the cane is nearly ready
for grinding. Mr.. Goodacre, our popular
sugar boiler, will soon return from his
trip to the States, and then work will
begin.
Fred. Turner, our accommodating
storekeeper, has large and we'll selected
stock of goods. His cheerful and obllg-
ing disposition make it pleasure to
trade with him.
Mr.. Barnfeld, for several weeks the
guest of Mr. and Mrs. Deverill at Wa
hiawa, returns to Honolulu this week to
fill orders awaiting him there. He did
considerable work on this side of the
Island.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hackfeld are visiting
their relatives in Lihue, but are shortly
expected in Koloa, where they will be
entertained by Mrs. Kropp.

Mr.. Riedell, the sugar boiler of Hama.
lei plantation, met with a serious acct
dent last week. They are putting the
Diffusion process into the mill, and
while assisting in this labor, a heavy
piece of lumber fell on him, badly
crushing his leg.
The schoolhouses all over the Island
have been cleaned and put in order,
fences whitewashed, etc., and teaching
commenced on Monday, with a good at
tendance. Mr.. Burkett, the Principal of
our Government school, is enjoying his
extended vacation, and Miss Hardy is
acting as his substitute during his alb
sence. In Lihue the teachers are doing
extra work owing to Mr.. Lucas absence.
He will probably return from the States
on the next steamer, and until then Mr..
Wishard takes his place. The three
teachers houses in Lihue are near the
schoolhcuse, and Mrs. Altman's little
cottage is nearly concealed by the Foo
kah vine, which grows so luxuriantly.
The plan of the buildings for the new
boarding school for Hawaiian children is
being prepared. The efforts of Miss
Juliet Smith have been untiring in rails
ing funds for this worthy object, and
Mulamula as the most central part of
the Island, has been selected as the site.
Our little hamlet alone sent between
fifteen and twenty children to Makawao
and Kamehameha schools.
All Kauai is in state of mutual con-
graduation because Captain Campbell
has been promoted to the steamer Mika-
hala. His unvarying courtesy, his un-
failing attention to the passengers, are
too well known to need comment, and
the Inter-Island Company could not
have found man better fitted to be
commander of the Mikahala, and none
whose promotion the community would
have more heartily endorsed.
A sad accident also occurred in Hama
maulu last Sunday. While two natives
were discussing the merits of a revolver,
did so, and the bullet lodged in the
stomach of a japanese who was just
passing. The bushes along the roadside
concealed the poor man, and the native
had carelessly fired without looking
about him. The victim became uncon-
scious after beingashot and died during
the night. An inquest was held on
Monday, the verdict being that the man
lost his life by the accidental discharge
of pistol. The native was put in Jail to
await his trial. P. A. u.
