Goth tie famous original Bostouians
Comic Opera Company will play their
annual engagement at the Valentine,
Toledo.
That the announcement will arouse
more than unusual interest goes without
the saying. The company numbers
over seventy people, including splen-
did orchestra, and the list of principals

tion is not necessary. Among the
original group are comedians, Henry
Clay Barnabee, who has been aptly
described as "the jefferson of the
lyric STAGE" George rockingham and
Harry Brown of we'll known reputation.
Among the baratoni are VIM. n. Mac
Donald, whose virile and handsome
presence, magnificent acting and splen-
did voice are the despair of the matinee
girl, aud his alternate, G. r. Hawley;
the greatest of American bassos, Eu
gene Cowles; D. B. Merrill, another
promising singer; that gifted woman
and charming contralto, Jessie Bartlett
Davis; those beautiful young singers,
Hi!da Clark aud Alice Nielsen, the
piquant second soprano, Oracle Quive.
Included in this list is also noted the
splendid English tenor, VIM. E. Philip,
and his equally clever confrere, Il.
Kelly Cole.
On Friday evening their latest opera,
"Tbe Serenaders" will be given for the
second time on any stage: at the matt
nee on Saturday Robin Hood will be

A heavy rain storm would be the
means of doing some damage along the
river, and at the same time be of some
benefit to the people who love the Mau-
NEE river and enjoy the fishing and boat
ing 1t affords in Summer. The ice in
the river is very heavy and by reason
of partial breakup early in January,
is frozen to the bottom of the river. II
the snow, now upon the ground goes
away with a heavy rain, the prospects
OF ''blg freehet" and general clean
ing out of the river is good and while
it may he disastrous TO property in To-
ledo, it would do much toward cleaning
out the channel at this place.

During the argument of the water
works case at Bowling Green few
days since, Hon. r. S. Parker made
use of the following brilliant and very
cutting wouds: I'VE are tired OF day
light electric light plants, warm
weather gas plants and wet weather
water plants" Such burning words
from one of Bowling Green's most
brilliant attorneys would indicate that
all things in the hub were not in such
charming condition as some people
would have others believe.

Physicians now say that apples are
very healthful and are especially good
for the liver. This may have had
something to do with the great fall in
Paradise which occurred to our early
parents some years since. A close
search of early records discloses the
fact that there was no sewerage sys-
tenn in the garden of Eden and that
Adam and Eve, who were in the habit
OF sleeping with the south window
open, had contracted malaria, and
Mother Eve, believing her liver was
notin good order, thought to remedy
the trouble by eating the best apple
she could find. This is probably the
cause ot the great fall. II Eye could
have gone TO an apothecary shop and
purchased few grains OF quinine. all
the trouble might have been averted.

The Council passed an ordinance
prohibiting the riding of bicycles and
tricycles upon the sidewalks. This Or
dinance has been before the Council for
some time and would not haye been
passed at all had not some of our village
cyclists abused the privileges they en-
joyed and made nuisances softhemselves
by reckless riding. They can now pay
the penalty by riding in the road, mud
or no mud.

There is u well-known professor at
Harvard. for whom the Boston and Cam
bridge girls should prepare crown,
says the Philadelphia Press. Every
man has his hobby and Prof. Eliot's
hobby is in the early marriage of young
men and the benefit which accrues
therefrom. The good professor Aouts
the old rhyme which declares that
rwhen a man marries his trouble be-
gins" His theory is that when man
marries his troubles are ended.
The college boy complains that with
Prof. Eliot about it is very hard for him
to remain single until the finish of his
collegiate period. For no sooner does
the instructor see young fellow walk
with or talk to young woman than he
seeks private interview with the
young man in question, the object of the
interview being TO inquire just why the
two young people may not be at once
doined in the bonds of matrimony.
"Well," observed an aged Philadel-
phian who heard the story few days
ago: ''rhat professor has married o
good wife-or he ISN'T married at all"

ployed his father to work for him dur
ing the month of December, Offering
him one cent for the first two days, two
cents the second, four cents the third,

succeeding day. He was surprised
when his figures showed that at the end
of 30 days he owed the "old man" just
$1O,73723.

The daily papers make simultaneous
announcement OF the fact that Presi-
dent.elect Mckinley has the grip and
that Mrs. Mckinley has $4,000 worth
of new dresses. We would suppose the
latter item would be sure cure for the
former. If our wife should order $4,000
worth of dresses we would lose our grip
on everything earthly.

THE MURDERERs OF All sANA AND THE
sTRANGLERs OF HIS WIFE.

STRANGLERS OF HIS WIFE.
Noo, the leader, aged about As,
slight build, weighs 140 pounds, SIT.
BIN. tall, au ava 6end, very decrepid
and has ghoulish face, has. rec
ord of thieviug, burglary and, now,
murder.

10ain. tall, weight about 100 pounds,
strong and wiry.
Paahao, Is years, 5ft. Gin. tall,
wight 100 pounds, slim build and
boyish figure.
THE PARTS THEY TOOK IN THE CRIME.
Noa pounded All Sanas head
with the stone whilst Ku choked
him and prevented an cutlery. Paa-
hao strangled Mrs. All Sana.
They declined the services OF q
lawyer. The verdict of the Coro-
ner's jury was wilful murder against
parties unknown, death being caus.
ed by the stone.
Mrs. All Sana could not even state
whether there was one man or
several.
Much indignation is felt, owing to
the fact that no policeman is sta
toned at Kamalo. Until November
last there was one.
Deputy Sheriff Hitchcock decided,
so it is said, that no policeman was
required at Kamalo. This may be
his idea, but few statements will
prove that there must be criminal
element at Kamalo.
Kamalo Mill burnt down. No
clue.
Ham stringing OF cattle, cutting
out bulls tongue, aud no one ever
discovered.
A reliable policeman should be
appointed forthwith, as the dread
full murder OF All Sana has scared
everybody.
Noa, the Kamalo murderer-in-
chief, escaped from the custody of
the Deputy Sheriff while pretending
to show the place where the stolen
money from the store was hidden.
The Sheriff had so much confidence
that he took the man alone up q
rocky canon, and Mr.. Noa was soon
mahuka. This is nice business and
may be another Koolau affair.

CLUE.
The Kamalo man of the posse
stoutly asserted that Noa, who had
appeared befor the jury and knew
nothing, had criminal repute, was
bad man, and was likely to have
had hand in The business.
In the early hours of Tuesday
morning, the Pukoo member OF the
posse became convinced that Noa
was implicated for certain curious
condolences, and between 4 a. m.
and daybreak the suspicious about
Noa's completely almost became a
certainty. Then the Pukoo man in
situated himself into Noa's house,
got him alone and put him on the
track" As Noa heard certain
statements from standing at ease
man, he became sitting man, then
laid on the floor, revealed nothing
but thought he could say something
later on, finally when the Pukoo
man, who was also a kahuna, told
Noa that certain hairs clutched in
All Sana's fingers were an "unihi-
pill" and also that the doctor when
cutting up All Sana's brain in sec
tions, had also found something and
it all pointed to Noa, then Mr.. Noa
collapsed and could not speak, shook
with terror. The tormentor then
departed. Meanwhile evidence had
accumulated to amply prove Noa's
guilt.
"THE MEN WHO DID THE DEED"
When Kaulana got through with
his examination he felt bad and de-
cided to even up with his accusers,
and doing little thinking on his
own account remembered that his
nephew, Sam Ku, had left Kauna-
kakai at dusk on Sunday evening
(the night OF the murder), with a
companion, Paahao, to ride to Wal
lau. Kaulana suddenly seeing Sam
Ku near his house asked him why
he had not gone to Wailau. Sam
Ku answered he had been as far as
Kaluaaha, his horse had sore back
then he came back. Kaulana then
asked, "Did you lose anythingf'
Ku answered: "a sash and handker-
chief at Kamalo." Kaulana then
told Sam Ku to tell him all, as he
would hide anything bad. Sam Ku
not answering, Kaulana said: "Did
you kill All Sana at Kamalo7" Sam
Ku hesitated, then said "Noa, Paa'
hao and myself did it," Kaulans
then gave this story to the police
and Sam Ku and Paahao were soon
under arrest, and confessed that Noa
met them in the road at Kamalo al
l o'clock Sunday night, and propos
ed to them to rob the Chinaman
they assented with the result that q
murder was committed, and that
the reason All Sana's body was
dragged into the house was to burn
up the bodies and the store, and
conceal the crime. Fear OF being
datacted hV tho LIGHT of the burning

At noon Tuesday, April 10, and 81

murderers-Noa, Sam Ku and Paa.
hao-were lodged in Pukoo Jail. At
$3.50 a. m. Wednesday the three
prisoners offered no defence before

were promptly committed to the as
