A most delightful evening was the
general verdict.
During Monday, October 2Sth,
n. Omsted of Hama appeared be-
fore the Wailuka police court to
answer to the charge of violating
Maui quarantine regulations. 1t
seems that some time during the
recent epidemic Mr.. Omsted visited
Honolulu and before returning to
this island, having undergone ten
days quarantine and complied
with other necessary conditions,
was given a certificate by the Ho-
nolulu Board of Health, which,
among other statements, declared
that he could land at island ports.
Accordingly, Mr.. Omsted made
landing on Maui, thereby disre-
garding regulations adopted by the
island Health Board.
Judge Helekuniki acquitted the
defendant on the ground that
orders from Honolulu should be
obeyed, inasmuch as the Board of
Health there was the highest au-
thority in the land in matters per-
tanning to the public health, etc.
He closed his decision with the
quotation that a house divided
against itself must fall.
Lukela, the Maui prophet, was
formerly a preacher at Kailua,
Hawaii. 4
Chester Long of Wailuku has
recently changed his residence to
Makawao. He intends to continue
his law practice.
This year, instead of appointing
a Tax Appeal Board for each dis
trict, the Minister Of Finance has
one for the entire island,
or, more properly speaking, for the
second taxation division, which in
cludes Maui, Molokai and Lanai. ! 4
P. B. Aiken, formerly of Paia,
has recently entered the San Fran
cisco Dental College.
The Waikiki Roard Board is
constructing a portable prison sim
liar to the one in use in Makawao.
Abundant rains are reported in
Hama district they are almost a
daily occurrence, consequently
sugarcane is doing fnely-much
better than last year, it is said.
What seems to be paradox in
prices is the fact that in the Kula
section, the price per pound for a
lat porker is quoted at 81 cents,
while, strange to relate, his lean,
hungry, cadaverous brother-hog is
selling at u cents per pound. The
explanation is that corn is so cheap
hat more money can be made by
the thin animals than by
lealing in fat swine.
The 18th instant, Kalakaua's
