The KiIties
Are Coming

The greatest Scottish band in the
world and without doubt the most won
derful musical organization of it's kind
known, will pass through Honolulu on
Friday, July oath, en- tour of the world.
They are on board the S. S. Mariana,
due to arrive from Victoria on the
morning of the Gath, and have arranged
with Messrs. Cohen and Lumley for two
concerts at the Hawaiian Opera House.
The band derives it's name from the
Kitty uniform which they have adopted,
and with the beautiful plaid colors of
their costumes they present a magnifi-
cent appearance.
Immediately upon their arrival, the
band, forty-two strong, headed by two
drum majors, veritab1e giants, each
over seven feet tall, will give a parade
through the principal streets of Homo
lulu, the route of which will be an
nounced later.
In addition to the military band, is
the famous vocal choir of the "Kil-
ties' with sixteen to twenty voices.
The Clan tombstone troupe of national
dancers, in Scotch reels, Highland fling,
sword dance, sailors hornpipe, etc., also
Albert johnson, champion piper of the
world, at the head of band of Royal
Scotch Pipers.
The local Scottish Thistle Club, under
whose auspices the concerts will be Civ
en-, are assisting Cohen and Lumley in
making this event great success and
as heretofore announced have been sell
ing subscription tickets redeemable for
regular seat coupons at Wall, Nichols
& Co., where the regular sale of seats
opens this morning.
The advent of this great band in Ho-
nolulu should prove an important event
and no doubt thousands will avail them
selves of the pleasure of seeing and
hearing them when they make their
parade and judging from the interest
already created full houses will greet
them for the concerts at the Opera
House.

RAILWAY WINS CASE
Lower Court Sustained in Bolsem
VS. Iowa Central.

The Supreme Court of Iowa has just
handed down a decision in another
suit from Mahaska county. The find
ings of Judge Byron w. Preston Of
this city in the damage suit of JOIN
Bolsem VS. Iowa Central Railway Co
has been affirmed and the Iowa Cen
trail won It's contention. II. W. Glea
son and w. r. Nelson were attorneys
for the plaintiff, Bolsem, and John o
Malcolm appeared for the defendant
railway company. The petition was
first filed over three years ago in
which damages were asked for sun
over $4,000. The case was then trans
ferred to the Federal court fol- trial
and after disposal there il was he'd
anew in the District Court in thii
county August |, 1906, The plaintiff
claimed damages i'll the sum of $1,000
from the Iowa Central Railway 60
for injuries received while in the EN-
ploy of the defendant company. Neg
ligence of the company and the EN-
ployes was alleged as the cause oil

ed as grounds for recovery of dam
ages. The circumstances of the &C
cident were unusual. Mr.. Bolsem was
engaged in repairing a water spout
near the round house in the north
part of the city. The ball bearings
had become displaced around the
spindle in the upper section of the
spout and, while one man raised the
spout with a crowbar from below, Mr.
Bolsem reached under the cap and
placed his hand inside to replace the
ball bearings. The day was cold and
ice had accumulated around the base
of the spout and the Crowbar Slipped
from underneath the spindle. letting
fall upon Mr.. Bolsem's hand. Two
fingers were afterwards amputated as
the result of the injuries sustained
Mr. Bolsem also claimed in HE peti
ton that he was employed as bridge
spouts and that he was not supposed
to know which was the safest and
best way in which to repair them
The case. was brought on for trial be
fore jury but the motion to direct d
verdict in favor of the railroad com
pany was sustained, Judge Preston
holding that Mr.. BOlsem did not use
sufficient precaution in his work, and
that he had better means of knowing
OF the danger encountered in placing
his hand under the spout, when il
was only supported by the end of d
crowbar, than did the railway com
pany. Mr.. Bolsem, through his attor
neys, appealed the case TO the SUI
preme court and the decision of lhe
lower court was affirmed on the
grounds of the plaintiff having assum
ed unnecessary risk. The opinion
was rendered by McClain.

SUNDAY AND JERSEY
REvIvALiST AND THEATRE MAN
AGER MAKE EXCHANGE OF
COMPLIMENTS.

Ottumwa, la, Nov. 9.-The Rev.
billy" Sunday held three big meet
|ings here Sunday for the opening of
Ibis campaign against evil in 0ttum-
wa. All the churches participating
in the revival were closed, so that it
was no trouble to fill the big taber-
nacle.
Every sermon preached by the
evangelist was chock full of hot
stuff" and Sunday promises there's
going to be something doing in this
| little old tabernacle every night for
the next five weeks"
Manager j. F. Jersey of the Grand
opera house, was the first Ottumwan
to get his" from Sunday. Speaking
of Mr.. Jersey, Sunday said:
Il suppose you've all heard tales
about me. | see one man has got out
"a pretty little bill about me. He
signs it Jersey, or something like that.
Il see he's been pouring his slop-
buckets of sour sinking swill on my
head. Why don't he sign his name to
something telling of these damnable
red light districts? Why doesn't he
attack these rotten, miserable swill-
selling grog shops in Ottumwa? Why
doesn't someone tackle his little old
theater and its hellish influences
here?" -'. ". o.. &C.
Manager Jersey Comes Back.
Manager Jersey, however seems to
think just as much about himself as
Mr. Sunday does of himself, and has
come back" in the local newspaper.
Part of what Mr.. Jersey says OF him
self follows:
Il have never smoked, never drank,
never gambled, / have never danced
step, never been inside gambling
house or house of i'll fame, and I'd
like to know if Mr.. Sunday can say
that much for himself
| 81 have donated the use of my OPP

church and charitable purposes. Once

Iopera house / donated its use to the
congregation of the First Methodist
church for ten weeks with no cost
Except the lights.
| 1T was at my proposal, the dona,
ton of my opera house and the Civ
ing of a play by me that enabled the
Eagle lodge to give Ottumwa the am.
lbulance it now owns. ..
| During the past summer I donated
the use of my Airdome to the minis
lterial association every Sunday night
with no cost except that of the lights
And now my reward for all this is
an invitation to Mr.. Sunday to come
Ito Ottumwa and attempt to destroy
'lmy business. It's good deal likt

.NIPPED IN The BUD
BeginOing of What Might have
Been Bad Fire CHI: cked.

A fire that might have proved Of
serious character was nipped in the
bud at six o'clock Sunday evening in
the Jack Stringfellow barbershop in
the basement beneath the IL. l.. Coke
grocery, No. 123 High avenue west
The fire department was on hand be
fore the blaze was fairly started and
very little damage resulted.
The fire was discovered about six
O'Clock by Frank Jones a young color
ed man who CHANGED to be standing
in the doorway Of the grocery. Frank
says he smeled smoke from burning
wood and it seemed to come from
the. basement. He ran down the
steps, could see no fire but the smoke
became thicker and he FASTENED to
the police department a few steps
distant from the place and informed
Officer Silas Bennett who turned in
the alarm. The fire department was
at work within few minutes. They
found a hot fire in Il water heating
apparatus in the barber shop which
had started the trouble in a wood
partition at the side of the furnace.
department arrived but there WAS
abundance of smoke. The fire had
caught through a covering of ashes
tos paper and zinc which covered the
boards. The only damage resulting
was to the partition and to the front
door of the shop which was forced
to admit the firemcn.
Rex Morrow who is an employee of
the Coke grocery was at the place al
most as soon as the alarm was given.
He gained access to the basement in
the rear of the shop before the ar.
rival of the department and he could
find no fire. The basement was filled
with smoke but no flame was to be
seen.
The department was called to the
residence of William Meyers No. $50
South f street about eight o'clock
Monday morning Fire caught in the
roof from spark or defective flue.
The blaze was seen by neighb6s be-
fore it had done material damage and
dash of water had put it out before
the arrival of the hose truck. A few
shingles will repair the damage.
The third fire alarm OF the newt
able series of three, called the fire
department, about ten.thirty O'Clock
this morning, to the Byron V. Sewers
residence, $50 North Market street.
How the fire started is a mystery un,
less the shingles caught fire from
the sparks from the chimney. The
blaze had big start when the fire
department arrived. but the flames
were soon under control. The dam
age done by the fire was slight, only
a few shingles and rafters being burn
ed, but the damage caused by the
water thrown was heavy.

Now is the Time to DRAG

From now on the earth road
dag should be used after every
rain on the clay and loan roads
Of Wisconsin. This is also the
proper time to do work with the
road machine in order that the
roads may have the whole sum-
mer in which to get packed and
hardened with the aid of the
drag.
The drag will do more to keep
earth roads in condition after
they have once been given a pro-
per shape and slope than any
other tool known to road build
ers. Drags can be made by any
one very cheaply, and the cost
of keeping a mile of road in con-
dition will vary from So to $40 a
year.
The Highway Division of the
Geological Survey has published
pamphlet giving directions and
dimensions for making drags.
and information as to what they
will do and when and how to use
them. Every farmer and super
intendent who has a particularly
bad piece of road to contend with
should send to Madison for a
free copy of this pamphlet and
make and use drag this sum-
mer.
The drag has proved that good
roads cost less than poor ones.
Each com unity owes it to it
self to try at least one drag this
summer. The improvement in
the general condition of the roads
of Missouri, Iowa and illinois, as
well as other states, produced
by it's use has been marvellous,
and it is believed the results in
Wisconsin will be just as remark
able if the drag is given a fair
chance.
