Mr.. Lounsbury says: Il should like
to give weight enough to my words TO
induce every sufferer from kidney
trouble to give this valuable remedy,
DOan's Backache Kidney Pills, a trial.
The reason for my faith is this: About
a year ago, having work about my
place that l was anxious to finish, i
continued at 1t, although a drizzing
rain set in. BY the time I had COM
pIeted the job l was taken with severe
pains in my back. Having heard some
brother raiIrOaders speak very highly
of Doan's Bachache Kidney Pills, my
wife purchased a box at a nearby drug
store. l took them as directed. I was
much helped from the first, and few
doses relieved me from all suffering.
I had had trouble from this source be-
fore and had used various remedies,
but none gave me relief so quickly and
thoroughly as these pills. The trouble
l had experienced in getting out OF bed
and frightening up after bending
over is also gone. 1 have taken several
boxes Of the remedy in all and l feel
that I have been benefited in every
way

Garrison Site Down to Choice Of
Two Places.
ONE IN TOWN AND ONE OUT
Col. Barber and Mai. Langfitt Max
ing the SeleCtiOn-Commissary
Surgeon.

Col. Barber and Mai. Langfitt are
working most earnestly on a location
for the garrison of the United States
troops assigned to Honolulu. Ne def
mite conclusion was reached yesterday
although several available tracts were
inspected carefully. Mai. Langftt was
in consultation with the Surveyor Gen
eral yesterday afternoon on the ad-
vantages of the various sites, while
Col. Barber spent the time looking
over the land proffered.
It was announced last night that one
of two tracts would likely be selected.
The first is near the Lunalilo Home
and belongs to S. c. Allen. This place
fills the bill pretty we'll in the opinion
Of the officials. The second tract,
which is perhaps equally desirable, is
located at Kahauiki, and belongs to
the Government. No doubt a definite
conclusion respecting the matter viii
be reached today Maj Langftt and
Lieut.. Winthrop will have charge of
the arrangements for the barracks and
garrison.
Capt. Lydig, cOmmissary of subsist-
ence, is already hard at work. He
stated yesterday afternoon that prices
would govern. the whereabouts Of his
purchases He has already advertised
for tenders for beef, mutton and rice,
to be supplied in large quantities for
the garrison. Capt Lydig will have
an Office and depot in town near the
waterfront. He will probably live at
Waikiki.
First Lieut. Lewis T. Griffith, sur
geon of the New York regiment, and
also of the Honolulu garrison, is with
Capt. Lydig. He will be the chief sur
geon at the new military hospital at
Independent park. DR.. Grifiths reports
that the hospital will probably be OPP
ened on Thursday morning.
