Our Maui Notes.

| Wailuku without license. This is
the third time "doctor" has been in
a scrape. Once before in Labaina
he plead guilty to a charge of prac-
ticing medicine without license
and was fined 500. At the last
trial he was discharged by the
magistrate.
The streets in Wailuku are look
ing respectable. The prison gang
has been employed in cleaning and
"scrubbing" the roads and the COM
munity was wondering why such a
boon was granted to the capital of
King "Kapakahi" 1t is rumored
that the new move was due not to
the many complaints of the payers
of road taxes but to the fact that
the Sheriff was celebrating his birth
day. May he have birthday every
month.
Maui is getting Americanized in
deed. j. A. Moore, the principal of
the Union School of Wailuku re-
ceived a thoroughbred runner by
the last vessel from the Coast and
by the same ship Judge Mckay re-
ceived Jersey COW. No race be-
tween the two new arrivals has yet
been arranged, and the ranchers on
Maui are looking rather disgusted
with such an affront to home indus
try.
One of the "best" citizens of Wal
luku was very happy by receiving a
big batch of the "Lahui Hawaii"
the latest journal. As all the Ha-
waiians here are "Aloha Ainas,"
there are no prospects of success for
a mongrel sheet on this island. The
Government officials pro tenn. will of
course be obliged to subscribe and
newspaper correspondent can al
ways be found among them.
1t is rumored that Jack Dow, the
efficient head luna OF the Wailuku
Sugar Co. has accepted position
at Kihei Plantation, as chief lieuten-
ant to Mr.. Pogue.
Mrs. Tones and daughter of San
Francisco are visiting Wailuku on
the directory business, aud are the
guests of Judge Kepoikai.
Several leper suspects were arrest
ed and driven to Lahaina to catch
the steamer. There was no neces-
sity for such public exhibition OF
the unfortunate people, who should
have been sent quietly away from
Kahului.
The Kickapoo people are due in
Wailuku this week and will receive
hearty welcome. The cineograph
man failed to make an appearance
in Maui's capital.
A 13 year old boy named Halea-
kala was sent to the Reformatory
School until he becomes of age. He
was found in the bedroom of the
principal OF the school at night, and
evidently there 'or evil purposes.
The new onners Of the crown
lands have been inspecting the vari
Gus "apanas" in lao Valley and fee
we'll satisfied by getting them away
from Brewer & Co. When the crown
lands question is settled they may
not be SO happy.
There is a move on foot for the
establishment Of a kindergarten il
J Wailuku, although such an institu
may be more needed in Lahaina
the Wailuku people are anxious tt
have place where the small chill
+ dren can be attended to and no
: corrupted by contamination will
s the older ones, as invariably hap
: pens in our public schools. In La
, haina there is nothing to contami
nate, and it is hoped that the Boart
I, of Education will help Waiuku il
its endeavor to bring up the youni
generation in proper manner
