BAD TELEPHONE SYSTEM.

During the last week large number
of people have expressed their determl-
nation to have their telephones taken
out, so poor has been the service, and
yesterday afternoon, family on Rich
ards street took active measures.
There Is no doubt whatever that tho
system is about as poor as 1t has ever
been. A person may stand at his teie-
phone for an hour and not get con-
nection. People are becoming tired OF
it and some are thinking of calling IA

ing Honolulu people take out their
telephones. For the greater part OF
the time the instruments are worse
than useless. This same opinion may
be heard on all sides. Whether the
fault is with the operators or the sys-
TEN itself, is immaterial.
One of the head men of the telephone
company was heard to say this NOM
ing that the insulation was all of the
wires and that It, would take at least
100000 to make the necessary repairs.

MYSTERIOUS FIND AT HEDR1ck.
Blood Stained Vest with Knife Cuts in
Back Discovered.

Hedrick, April 27.-(special.) May.
or spicer, of this city, has in his pos
session blood stained vest about
which he is very DESTROYS of gaining
some information. The vest was
found just north of the Milwaukee de.
pot last Tuesday morning and has
three cuts in the back as if some one
had been stabbing at the wearer's
heart. When found the vest was thor.
oily saturated with blood around the
cuts, and the person who had worn it
must have bled very freely.
The vest is of cheap material, is but
little worn and is about size 3S. Two
front buttons are missing and one has
been torn out, taking piece of cloth
with it. 1t is surmised that the per.
son who did the deed grabbed his vic
tim by the front of the vest and then
attempted to stab him in the heart.
Nothing was found in the pockets eX.
cept few grains of coffee. The author
tiles kept the matter quiet until this
morning in order that efforts might be
made to learn more of the matter.
