Robbed The Grave.

A startling incident of which Mr..
John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the
subject, is narrated by him as follows:
II was in most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes
sunken, tongue coated, pain continual
ly in back and sides, no appetite-grad-
ually growing weaker day by day.
Three physicians had given me up.
Fortunately a friend advised trying

and surprise, the first bottle made a
decided Improvement. / continued
their use for three weeks, and am now
a we'll man. | know they saved my

them. Only so cents a bottle at L..

In small country newspaper offices
where the copy goes from the editor to
the compositor, then, after printing,
directly to the subscriber, the need of a
proof reader is often felt. For example,
in Missouri office, short time ago,
the boy in making up" the forms got
the galleys mixed. The first part of
the obituary of an impecunious citizen
had been dumped in the forms, and
the next handful of type came from a
galley on which was description of a
fire. The country folks were startled
when they came to the paragraph which
read thus: "The pall-bearers lowered
the body to the grave. There were
few if any regrets, for the old wreck
has been an eyesore to the town for
years. Of course there was individual
loss, but that was fully covered by in
surance. "-Ex.
The Altoona Tribune gives this good
advice: Whatever else you do, never
deceive the candidate who waits upon
you and solicits your vote at the ap-
preaching primaries. If you do not
intend to support him tell him SO
gently but firmly. He may not like it
at the moment, but the time will come
when he will thank you for your frank
ness.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill bottle or common water glass
with urin and let it stand tWenty-four-
hours; sediment or settling indicates
a diseased condition of the kidneys
When urin stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre-
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also a convincing proof that
the kidneys and bladder are out of
order.
Whatto Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge SO
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urin and scald-
ing pain in passing tor bad effects fol-
lowing use of liquor, wine or beer, and
overcomes that unpleasant necessity of
being compelled to get up many times
during the night to urinate. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Swamp
Root is soon realized. 1t stands the
highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need
medicine you should have the best.
Sold by druggists price fifty cents and
one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and
pamphlet, both sent free by mail, upon
receipt of three two-cent stamps to
cover cost of postage on the bottle.

A REQUIEM MASS
In Memory of Soldiers Slain During
the War.

Nearly five hundred of the Boys
in Blue from Camp Mckinley and
elsewhere attended the Requiem
Mass, for the souls Of those who
have died during the war, at the
Roman Catholic Cathedral at nine
o'clock this morning.
At the head OF the central aisle
had been erected a handsome cata-
falque draped with black and re-
lieved with silver emblems and lace
and with cross OF white flowers
aud maiden hair fern in front.
Around it, and on the funereally
draped pulpit, were pots Of beauti-
full ferns and palms With the
burning candles and the subdued
coloring Of the Church and the rich
robes of the ecclesiastics the effect
was unique, beautiful and inspiring.
The soldiers occupied the whole
of the main body OF the Church
while the ladies and other visitors
were seated in the galleries. The
sermon, very eloquent and pathetic
one, was preached by the Bishop
and the Requiem Mass was most i'm
pressively sung. Light refresh u euts
were subsequently, served.

Not q Jaytown.

Judge Wilcox explained this
morning to E. B. Ferguson and F.

U. S. Transport Pennsylvania, that
Honolulu is neither a conquered
town like Manila or Santiago, nor a
Jaytown where strangers, even If
disguised in the honored uniform OF
the United States, can run-a- muck.
The learned magistrate explained
to the men, who were charged with
malicious mischief in borrowing"
the carriage Of Colonel Fisher, that
the laws OF Hawaii are yet in force,
even if we did annex the United
States some weeks ago.
The two men took possession of
the carriage while Mrs. Fisher was
shopping on Fort street, and were
caught later on by the police, who
we're notified by Mr. Fisher.
The Judge fined each man 500 and
costs, and told them that he would
have made them acquainted with
the interior Of Oahu Jail if they
were not needed as members of the
Pennsylvania crew, and expected to
leave within day or two. The fine
was promptly paid.

JAPANESE IN HAWAII.

The following dispatch published
in the Hongkong Telegraph will be
read with a great deal OF interest
not alone by our Japanese friends
but by everybody interested in the
future of Hawaii:
"ToKIo, August 22nd.
"a reception was given to Mr..
Hoshi, the Minister to the United
States, yesterday afternoon by his
political friends. There were pre-.
sent Count Itagaki aud other Min.
listers OF State belonging to the
Liberal faction, and about 800 Con.
stitutionalists.
"In the course OF a speech deliver
ed, Mr.. Hoshi dwelt at some length
upon the annexation of Hawaii, the
American Customs Tariff and the
American Spanish war. He urged
that the Philippiue question should
not be looked upon lightly What
attitude the Japanese Government
would take in regard to the nego
tiatious for the Treaty of Peace in
Paris 10 October next he did not
know, but the question demanded
the careful attention aud study OF
all patriots. Referring to the status
of Japanese in Hawaii, when the
islands we're incorporated, Mr..
Hoshi stated that the Japanese
Government had obtained an as
surance from the United States
Government that the Japanese in
Hawaii should enjoy the same
rights and bear the same obligations
as the subjects Of Great Britain,
France and Germany. This, he
concluded, was the present he had
brought from America
