Just a few extra days…

Keoki Kerr reported that all of the Hawaiian-Language Newspaper pages will be up online and word searchable, “by the end of the week”! And he stated that we should check awaiaulu.org for more information!!

Can you believe it?

Just two more days (November 28, 2012) before 15,500 pages of word-searchable Hawaiian-Language Newspaper pages are scheduled to go online! The work by more than 6,500 people worldwide, many of whom had no Hawaiian language ability, should be something to see!! Check Ike Kuokoa for more information.

Hopefully all of the pages of Hoku o ka Pakipika and the first year of Ke Au Okoa that were done years ago before this volunteer project will finally go up as well!

One more week, and 15,000 pages to go up online! 2012.

One week and counting, (November 28, 2012) before 15,500 pages of word-searchable Hawaiian-Language Newspaper pages are scheduled to go online! The work by more than 65,000 people worldwide, many of whom had no Hawaiian language ability, should be something!! See Ike Kuokoa for more information.

Hopefully all of the pages of Hoku o ka Pakipika and the first year of Ke Au Okoa that were done years ago before this volunteer project will finally go up as well!

On the importance of maintaining connections, 1874.

Blessed are the Hawaiians.—In the past months of this year, a certain good woman of this town gathered together all sorts of Hawaiian newspapers and books, and sent them by way of a friend to Oregon for Hawaiians living amongst that unfamiliar people. And just recently in the past few weeks, this good woman of town received a barrel of salmon from the Hawaiians of Oregon with words like this: We are presenting you with this small gift, along with our warm aloha. We are delighted to see the Newspapers and Books you sent by way of _________.

CURIOUS HAPPENING OF LAST NIGHT

Here Once More are the Deeds of the Rascals!

Who is Responsible? Who is this Rogue?

A little before 9 last night, there were handwritten bills posted at various places around town. The first found was in front of the residence of Dr. Rodgers [Kauka Lokeke], and other bills were found in other places like the Government Building and the Palace Grounds. The following was found by police lieutenant Kahumoku and officer S. Ku, at the corner of the estate of Haalelea, at the corner of Richards and the Palace, like this:

“Dec. 16th 1886” [1887 ?]

“To you rebel Ministers [Kuhina], it is best for you to return your appointments. We have measured you evil deeds. If these actions continue, then be vigilant every minute of your life lest a coffin be your end.”

(Picture of a Coffin.)

Written atop the coffin is the word, “Minister.”

When the officers in the Armory [Halekoa] got word, some of the soldiers were sent out to search, and this was found posted on the mauka gate of the Palace Grounds:

“To you, O treasonous Ministers, it is best for you to return your appointments. We have had enough of your evil deeds. If this should continue, you all watch out every minute, or you will have a coffin as your eternal home.”

(Picture of a Coffin.)

Written atop the image of the coffin were the words, “In Memory of the Ministers.”

Similar ones were found on the pillars on the grounds of Aliiolani Hale. Perhaps some were posted elsewhere, but it is not known.

[Unfortunately, only two issues have been found of this important newspaper which ran from 1887 to 1888.]
