A "LovE FEAST"
Such Was the Nature. of the McKin-
ley Club Meeting.

ley Club Meeting.
.1onday night the Mckinley club met
at the school house. There were about
25 persons present. Dan Kirk made an
address, which was we'll received by the
Mckinley brethren. After be had gone
back to the time of King George and CO.
lonial days for argument and concluded
his talk to the club, the president, Mr..
g. W. Rigby, suggested that the club
proceed to dissolve itself into Mckinley
love feast. He gave out as the nature Of
the feast, that the members present
make few remarks and endeavor to
make point, leaving the suggestive i'm
preston that when fellow made point
be was to quit and sit down.
Vice President Reeder was called to
the chair, and the president set the ball
rolling for points by reading extracts
from messages delivered by ex- President
Harrison and President Cleveland also
one by James Buchanan. Mr.. Rigby
evidently gained point, to the satisfac-
tion of all, and received quite an encore.
1t was an evident fact that the tariff
was what was the after OF Hanna, IN
til orator Huntington came in. He was
little late juet having arrived from
Pendleton. He was at once called on for
point" 1t was made by the asser.
tion that he had seen in the public press
an account of Biemark's friendliness to
the bimetallic cause, and the great Ger.
mans opinion that if the cause of silver
should win at the coming election in the
United States, 1t would be etep toward
international bimetallism He fur ther
strengthened his point by saying that
this nation had always been the dump
ing ground Of Europe.
Additional membership was reported
to the roll of the club. It was the unan-
imous decision Of the club to hold meet
ing on next Monday evening, when it is
hoped Senator Mitchell, and other prom.
inent speakers will be present.
Mr. Huntington informed the members
that quite large delegation would come
up from Pendleton Monday next, to hear
Senator Mitchell speak, and would doubt
less attend the meeting in the evening.
A motion prevailed, and was with
out dissenting voice carried, to extend
q cordial invitation to the Mckinley
clubs of the surrounding country to come
to Athena Monday.

At The Public School.

Y Everything is running nicely now up
at the public school, since another teach
er has been added to the corps. Before
the addition of the fifth teacher was

two departments are more evenly divid-
ed, and good results will follow. In the

Numerous Hungry WiIIies. 4

Hobos from far and near are centering
toward Eugene, says the Guard. It
seems that they have gotten wind 6 the
biz republican barbecue and have con
cluded that this city will be good place
to get good square meal about next
Saturday. Whether or not the repub
lican management will approve of this
sudden exhibition of a Mckinley spirit
on the part Of the hobos, remains to be
seen, but it is said that at least 75 OF
these 'hungry Willies" are hanging
around in the vicinity of town awaiting
the roasting of beeves, pig and sheep,
while many more are headed this way
and will be here in time to help celebrate
next Saturday.

for so many years. They we'll re-
paid him last night for his patient
efforts with them.
Their music seemed to spring
from their very hearts and souls.
They required no drum battery to
hide imperfections. And as the sp-
plause rose warmer and warmor
with each number, the boys played
better aud better, until at last the
unanimous verdict of the thousands
was, Eve have never had better mu-
sic in Hawaii" At length the audi
ence became too tired to cheer loud
ly any longer.
1t was noticed that the Band un-
bonneted for Hawaii Ponoi, an ex-
ample followed by many OF the
audience, while the visitors on the
"lanai" rose from their seats. The
boys sang the National Anthem with
a depth Of feeling that gave to it an
Interpretation that no alien can ever
hope to truthfully approach. From
them it seemed to be prayer to the
Almighty springing from the deep
est we'll OF affection in their hearts.
The people are grateful to the
leader, Sam Kamakaia, to Solomon
Hiram aud Dan Kaleikoa, the sweet
soloists, to Charles Polikapu, the
1st clarionet solo, to the chorus and
the members of the Band for the
entertainment, and dear old Berger
must not be forgotten for his share.

OUR BOYS.

In spite of the drizzling rain last

since such an immense crowd gather

its vicinity. Carriages filed with
the most prominent people in Ho-
nolulu society from .merchaut
princes to leading Government Of
ficials occupied the street in the
midst of throng which scarcely
permitted free passage way to
pedestrians. To estimate the num-
ber would be difficult, but it may
safely be said that from first to last
nearly 5000 people were present.
And this was the welcome accord
ed to the Royal Hawaiian National
Band on their return from the Unit
ed States. 1t was popular demon
stration of aloha for our and Berger's
Gown boys" The veteran leader
