The Evening Bulletin comments on the Supreme Court decision upholding habeas corpus petitions for Japanese immigrants seeking entry to Hawaii. It argues the ruling restricts unlawful influx, supports labor contract provisions, and condemns schemes to evade law. The piece asserts public demand for stricter immigration inspection and treaty adherence.
In a bizarre wager in DeWitt, Job Johnson faced a sheep in a five minute contest. The sheep charged after the kneeling man, but Johnson ducked and struck its neck with a dexterous throw, breaking the animal’s neck. A lingering note mentions Superior breakfast sausage and a Central market.
In Dublin a probate case over Michael McDermott's will fettering his heir George McDermott to marry Miss Ann Murphy is reported. George died unmarried after entering possession of two farms valued at 8400. Bridget McDermott, widow, later possessed the property while Simon Cunningham obtained probate. The Master of the Rolls held the gift to be conditional on a future marriage, and a declaration was ordered if the plaintiff carried out the will's directions for the widow's benefits. The report notes Hawaii courts may face similar curious contingencies.

A vintage ad announces a new power disinfectant described as harmless odorless and convenient to use with a notably low cost figure. The hopeful copy emphasizes safety and affordability for home cleaning.

An advertisement asserts that nine tenths of fevers and similar illnesses stem from poor sanitary conditions and urges physicians to endorse the claim about Purifine 25c as a remedy.
Purifine 50c is presented as odorless unlike most disinfectants, addressing a common objection to those products. The note highlights that the absence of odor is a key benefit, implying improved user experience and acceptance.
Pleasant exhortation urges readers to purify the air they breathe and avoid illness. It promotes Puritine with varying quantities, warns against waiting for summer heat, and claims the seller as sole agents offering timely procurement.
