SPIDER OR KISSING BUG ?
Earl Thompson Attacked While Asleep
BY Some Kind of Venomous In
sect-Hts Lip and Neck Badly
swollen.

Master Earl Thompson, son of Mr..
Samuel Thompson, of S. Queen
street and clerk in the shoe store of
G. E. EThompson & Company, was con-
fined to the house as the result of
what is thought to be spider sting.
When young Thompson awoke
Tuesday smorning be was surprised
to find his upper lip SWOLLEN to almost
twice its natural size. He also felt
a slight pain in his lip. An investi-
CATION revealed the fact that he had
| been bitten during the night by a
black spider or some other poisonous
insect. probably kissing bug. The
swelling spread to the glands in the
neck. which with his lip, continued
to swell! to such an extent that it was
deemed necessary to summon a ply
stefan.
DR. Morrison treated the lip and
said that the bite would not have anv
serious results. The lip and neck are
SWOLLEN to such an extent that it is
with difficulty that he eats.
1.-THE kissing bug or some other mem
Der of the family of venomous insects,
appears to have struck Martinsburg
and is doing its best to make miser-
able the lives of its citizens.
The Evening World told Wednesday
of one person with terribly swollen
lips and now comes Mail Carrier
Charles Grimes with two lips that
have an unnatural appearance.
On Thursday morning Mr.. Grimes
appeared on his route with badly
swollen lower lip and this moining
as he was walking along the street
his upper lip suddenly began to swell,
Both lips swelled until they gave the
popular>mail carrier the appearance
of having Just emerged from a prize
fight.
Mr.. Grimes consulted physician
about his lips and he gave it as his
opinion that the swelling was not the
result of the stings of an insect, but
the result of the condition of his
stomach.
Some, however are still OF the
opinion that Mr.. Grimes was struck

STORM PERIOD MAY REACH July
Explanation Made by Hfcks--Juptter I'm
observation-disclosures also in Com
junction

The alternate storms and usual
weather of the past few weeks and
months may extend into the middle
of July, according to Rev. Hick S
forecast in ''Word and Works. From
now until July 1st we may expect
"cosmic and meteorological unrest =
combination of astronomic events
out of the ordinary. Rev. Hicks
gives reason for this in the following
explanation
1.-The opposition of the planet Jupi-
ter--the world greater than all the
other planets and moons combined
falls on July, 5th. The full moon. or
Moon in opposition to Earth and Sun,
and hence in conjunction with both
Jupiter and Saturn, falls on July LIST.
The planets Venus and Mercury are,
also in conjunction with each other
and the Earth mad Mercury in APP
helion, and Venus in perhelion. Add
to this the fact that regular Vul-
can storm period extends from the
1st to the 9th of July, winding M
with the month on the celestial equa-
tor on the 9th. We feel warranted in
saving that maximum tendency to
seismic. electrical and volcanic per-
turbations is more than probable UNI
der this condition of things.
The remaining storm periods of
July will be Sth to 10th; 18th to 18th
2lst'to 3lst. Mercury, Jupiter, Vulcan
and Venus periods, with the usual
Moons perigee will cause the periods.
The last storm period will. Rev. Hicks
SAYS, measure out extreme heat and
severe thunder gusts. If rains do not
appear during the last ten davs in
July, the outlook for rain in the
great western and northwestern grain
regions is not encouraging for the
rest OF the summer and early au-
tumn. +"

House bill 1G6 relating to the manufac-

reaa section by section on Kaniho's mo-
ton.
Monsarrat explained that the first sec
ton was intended TO combine the old Ii
censes of wholesale license and a job
ber's license each $500 into one license
costing s., 500, to be called the wine and
spirit dealers license.

Section l passed and Monsarrat, COM
menting on the next section, said that
formerly people had to crawl on their
hands and knees when wanting a license
and now anyone with the money and
| bondsmen could procure a license.
The section passed; also the third sec
ton.
Gillian objected to the fourth section
prohibiting the holding of a license by
those selling, by wholesale or retail, dry
goods, etc.

House bill 81, providing a $40 tax on

Kumalae proposed to change the
amount TO 81 as a tax of SO would alb
sorb not only the profits but the princi-
pal of the plantations and strike at the
very life blood of the country.
Prendergast shrieked out a few ear
splitting vowel sounds, disturbing the
House and causing Akina to leave the
G. air in charge of Kekaula. The pyru-
technic was to the effect that SO was far,
far too little for a tax.
Beckley: After consulting with many
eminent lawyers, unconnected with this
Island, l have come to the conclusion
that such tax would be unconstitutl Il
al. The average taxes are about S1.9
Waialua pays s2.1S; Eva SOS. One PLAN
tation pays 81 and has never paid a
dividend. Had 1 not been convinced that
! such tax was unconstitutional, / would
have introduced 1t long ago."
Akina then resumed his chair.
Aylett feelingly related the fable OF
the goose and the golden eggs" com
pairing the same to the plantations and
their taxes. Two dollars, he thought,
was sufficient. st showed this bill to the
plantation managers. and they told me
SO was too much, but they would agree
to 81 or 50, as times were hard. Stocks
are down, and / think we should think
of these hard times. We have three
chances at these planters-income tax,
property tax, and this sugar tax. If we
kl1l them off at one shot with this sugar
tax. what is the use of throwing the two
other rocks?"
Kaniho, who had forgotten to put on
his collar, and buttoned up his coat 10
hide the fact, provoked the House 70
spasms of laughter. Before annexation
we were going to shovel up money and
benefits. Where are they? And why is
,, SO too much. if these shovelsful Of mon-

ey are lying loose? Still, If these people
did not tell the truth, and there are no
shovelsful OF money, let us make 1t 81.
That won't hurt the member from Ka-
uai, who owns several sugar planta-
tions'
| Emmeluth: II am confident that such
a tax is possible if proceeds are used for
school funds, Board Of Health expendi-
ture or any additional expense incurred
by the bringing in of labor. 1 therefore
move that this bill be referred to some
committee to be placed in legal shape.
There is bill to be brought up tomorrow
that will thoroughly cover all these spe-
cial taxes
Beckley: ST second this motion. This
reference to committee will perfect the
bill and make the plantations pay what
they should pay. Waialua and the Ka-
uai plantations have shirked paying their
right amounts. They are like enormous
squids, sucking the life-blood of their
country If this bill went to the Sem
