II Rev. S. L. Desha has been instru-
mental in bringing about this innoya-
ton and the idea has met with so much
favor among the church-going people

lowing the custom obtaining in Homo
lulu the lady members of the sHilo
churches will hold tea party in honor
| of the guests. The meeting will prob
ably last for week or ten days.
The regular annual meeting of the
Island association will be held in Kona

RUNAWAY TEAM.
| "A SCeili VI ilolStS OTdWIHR one OIL the
/ Volcano busses on the Cocoanut Island
/ line ran away last Friday and caused
considerable damage to one of the
/ delivery wagons of the Excelsior Soda
Works Co. Manager Haley was on the
wagon which had halted in front of
Andrews boat landing at Waiakea
bridge. A surrey containing two ladies,
enc of whom was Mrs. Philip Rice, was
/ blocked by dray on the town end of
the bridge. A gentleman engaged in
conversation with Mr.. Haley saw the
runaway team coming and called his
attention to it. Haley started across
| the bridge shouting to the ladies to get
out of the way. Fortunately the dray
moved sufficiently to allow them to
pass just as the runaway team reached
the bridge. Mr.. Haley was less for
tunate; the bus collided with his wagon
throwing him to the ground. The
horses broke loose from the bus when
the collision took place and continued
running up town.
HILO WANTS MURPHY.
1t is understood that a number of
residents of Hilo are anxious to have
Brother Murphy come up from Homo
lulu and give temperance lectures.
There is no doubt that Hilo needs an
infusion of temperance, but the man
who administers the dose should not
limit himself to liquors; there are other
things in Hilo than liquor which will
stand temperance. Mr.. Murphy is an
electric speaker and one who has done
much toward bringing men to prop
er realization of their duties to their
families and in addition to this he has
been successful in reducing the number
of after-banquet headaches. Should he
decide to come to Hilo, Mr.. Murphy
will find no difficulty in finding some
excellent examples of the effect of long
cold bottles on mankind
HILO DOUBTS IT.
If Hilo should happen to have tele-
graph communication with Honolulu
by the Marconi or any other system,
within the next twelve months the citi-
zens would make note of 1t and look
out for the millennium, which, by the
way, is promised for December of this
year. If the promised flood takes place
at that time the scientists will feel
that the book of Revelations is an un-
authorized edition. Marconi, should
his system prove a success on these

that while he was driving C. r. Collins
along the Volcano road late Thursday
night a stranger jumped at his horses
head when the hack was near J. S.

then seen to step out into the road but
the horse was going too fast for the
supposed footpad Medeiros saws he
saw a revolver in the hands of the first
man.
