CLAIMANT FOR THE BELL.
HAUULA CHURCH WANTS FIND
OF CLIFFORD RHODES
Rev. Nuhiwa Says Bell Has Belonged
to His Church as Long as He Can Re
member-He Wants 1t Back.

There is pililkia about the old
French bell taken from Koolau by f.
Clifford Rhodes ana turned over to the
Bishop Museum.
This morning Rev. :. ID. Nuhiwa,
pastor of the church at Hauula, came
to town IN search of the bell and the
man who took it away. He says he
will have the property and will also
prosecute the party who removed it.
The origin of the bell is unknown to
us, said the divine. This much, how
ever, is certain. 1t has been in the I'M
disputed possession of the church for
many years, longer than | can remem-
Der, and was taken from the church
yard where ii has lain perhaps ever
since 1t was found.
we have been planning for a long
time to have the bell set up and put to
service. Last week a white man came
there and took it away. | was told that
he brought it to Honolulu and have
traced ii this far"
The bell is in the Bishop Museum. The
old mans story may be correct, but it
will be thoroughly investigated before
the property is given up. There was
some idea this morning that if the bell
really belonged to the Hauula a com
promise for its retention at the museum
might be effected. 1t is a great curl
osity. 1t may be that it came from a
vessel wrecked on the east coast of the
Island many years ago, or it may have
been the bell of some vessel broken up
in the early part of the century. The
history of the bell for the past hundred
years would be interesting to trace.

The People Believe
What They Read About Hoods
SarsapariIIa
Their Faith in This Medicine IL
Grounded on Merit
They Know 1t Absolutely cures
When other Medicines Fail

Hoods Sarsaparilla is not merely sim
pie preparation of Sarsaparilla, Dock,
,5tillingia and little Iodide of Potassium.
Besides these excellent Alternatives, ~
also contains those great anti-bilious and
liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion.
1t also contains these great kidney reme-
dies, iva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and
Pipsissewa.
Nor are these ali. Other very valuable
curative agents are tremendously COM
bined in Hoods Sarsaparilla, and it is
carefully prepared under the personal
supervision of a regularly educated phar-
macist.
Knowing these facts, is the abiding faith
the people have in Hoods Sarsaparille
matter of surprise2 You can see why
Hoods Sarsaparilla cures, when Other
medicines totally, absolutely fail.
"My little girl was afflicted with
eczema and suffered for seven years. She
was attended by physicians and tried
many different kinds OF medicine with
out relief. After taking a few bottles OF
Hoods Sarsaparilla she was cured" MRS.

ition OF wind pressure. ana thdt orui-
nary winds would add enough result
inc weight TO the oVerhang TO cause the

reason why the walls stood for 10 or IL

the bending Of the brick at the corners
and The absence Of wind pressure pre-
yious TO this daV.
II l. HemenWaV OF Horton IL Hem

IT should saw without hesitation that
tho tower as designed and built was
not a safe and stable structure. In my
orsnion the primary cause Of its fall
was improper design: the secondary
cause was the wind during the storm
Of September 20. 1899. II was evident
that the rain did not help matters any,
but / do not think IL would have with
stood the wind even If there had been
no rain. but do not think that after
having been built the time il had been
that the rain alone without any wind
would not have caused the fall
The other testimony simply related
10 the calling Of the ambulance and
assistance given the injured man, and
the report Of the medical examiner on
the injuries.
