have been brought 70 trial. Jon
Kerrigan, a white man, once a note
Jockey all over the islands, was calle
TO answer a charge of stealing barle
and a saddle from the livery stable G
J.R. Wilson. He plead guilty an
was sentenced to labor on the road 70
nine months in addition to being fine,
S27 and costs of court. Dennis Ma
chado, proprietor of the Hilo stables
who was charged with the same offens,
was given a preliminary hearing
Owing to the absence of court inter
prefer, his case was postponed unit
Monday morning.
The driver of Wilson's bus, who
caused the accident to John Kaae, the
draymsn, has been charged with furi-
Gus driving, but not yet arraigned. II
is thought the case will be settled out
of court. A number Of other cases OF
furious riding have come to the notice
of the court this week. 1t is about
time something was being done to-
ward the checking of needless riding.
For months it has been the practice of
some school boys to ride up and down
Waianuenue street at a furious rate OF
speed Just at the time when the school
children are going TO and coming
from school. 1t is really marvellous
that no fatalities have occurred among
the tiny tots that Wend their way to
and from the kindergarten, more
especially. However, this careless
riding is not confined to school boys
We have a few residents on the hill
who seemingly find it necessary to
ride at an unusually fast-hying gait at
all times, and hope some day the
police will make il their business TO
notify one white man in particular
that 1t would be well for him aud the
rest of US if he would reduce his pace.
At present there are thirty two
prisoners at work on the Hilo- Hama
kua road, all in charge of Jailer Stark,
two guards and two lunas.
Our neighboring plantations are
getting ready for grinding sugar. The
first sugar will be taken from Wal
naku and Waiakea by the bark San
tisgo, which arrived from San Fran
cisco today. Hakslau plantation will
not be ready before the middle of
January.
A new enterprise has been insti-
tuted at Hakalsu. Norman Lyman,
who hiss been employed by the Hilo
Soda Works for some years, will have
charge of a branch business for the
at that place. The company
intends putting in machinery and
stock complete for making soda there.
Mr.. Lyman will also open a butcher
shop for the Central Meat Market of
Hilo, Of which r. A. Lyman, Jr., is
proprietor. Competition in the soda
business is growing rife. Hllo has two
of the kind now, and
IL is said u third will soon be ready for
business
George Weight, who went to Homo
lulu last week TO consult with the
owners of Kahuku plantation, has
sent word of his acceptance OF the
management Of that plantation. Mr..
Weight has been in the employ OF the
Onomea Sugar Company for number
of years, and his many friends here,
while they congratulate him upon
advancement, will regret TO see the
departure Of himself aud family.
The rooms Of the Hilo Library AS
sociation, pleasantly located IN the
Spreckels block, are now open to the
public as q reading room. On the
tables are to be found a great number
of popular magazines, while on the
shelves are nearly two thousand vol
umes of standard books, TO which, II
is hoped, many new ones Will be
added. Mrs. Stephens is in charge
temporarily.
The new five-foot board walk from
the corner of Front and Waianuenue
streets to the wharf is certainl great
Improvement and an added conve-
nience to the public.

stein was the scene OF a very Jolly

corsted nnder the efficient manage
