Unknown Man.

Robert ]. Wade, twenty-six years Old,
whose home Is at No IL Monroe street.
Anacostta, was assaulted last night about
Il o'clock at the corner of Missouri avenue
and AZ street northwest, and seriously in
jured. 1t Is believed a blunt instrument of
some kind was used and the force was SO
great that he was rendered unconscious. 1t
was supposed his skull had been fractured
when he was first examined, but a more
careful inspection showed this to be erro-
neous.
Wade was standing on the corner near the
park waiting for an Anacostia car to come
along when he was assaulted. He believes
that his assailant was probably hiding in
the bushes and that the object was rob-
berry. Just how long Wade remained on the
street before he was found Is not known
Policemen Newkirk and Gibson learned Of
the affair and took him to the Casually
Hospital.
This morning the patient was well enough
to be removed to his home. He Is unable

was great menace to the Islands that
cane growing is so profitable. The en-
ure interest OF the country has run into
TINS one channel. On this account it is
dimcult for small farmers to get hold
ings which would make it profitable for
them to improve. In the older days
farming was carried on extensively, and
nairs were held in the Hackreld grounds
which could hardly be equalizer AT me
present time, without growing a crop
specially for the purpose. There was
need for an agricultural experiment sta
ton to assist the individual in the solu-
uon of problems which no one man can
properly solve. Scientific farming. he
SAID, has proved its right 10 exist In this
ard all other countries.
Prof. Wood, of the Normal School
stated that much is being done in the
schools in the way of introducing agri-
cultural instruction, and spoke Of the
work OF the Honolulu Normal School In
this connection. The effort was 10 make
school work real life, and not merely
preparation for life.
