A HONOLULU MAN


Talks of Doan's Bsckache Kidney
Pills.
When an incident like the following
occurs here at home II is bound to
carry weight with our readers. The
public statement Of reputable citizen
living In this city leaves no ground
for the skeptic to stand on.
Mr.. James G. Stevens, of this city,
informs us: II was troubled with an
ache In the small of my back for a long
time, and such was the condition Of
things until I tried some of Doan's
Backache Kidney Pills. which I OBJ
tanned at the HOLSTER Drug Co. 8
store. A short treatment gave me the
desired relief, and I am satisfied that
they are a good remedy for backache
and deserve to be recommended"
Mr.. Stevens Is one of our own cit
liens. Is not such testimony stronger
than that of someone living In Amer
lea?
Does your back or side ache SO that
1t Is hard to stand straight? Do you
have headaches, nervousness, frequent
thirst, hot dry skin, or shortness Of
breath? Evil forebodings, or unsettled
sleep? Are yous eyelids distended or
feet and ankles swollen and have you
lost flesh? Are the secretions from the
kidneys thick. dark colored, and do
they deposit a sediment? Kidney dis
ease Is insidious and II you have any
OF these symptoms you should treat
them at once. Delay may mean you
can't be cured.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all chemists and storekeepers
at so cents per box, six boxes $3.50, or
will be mailed on receipt Of price by
the HOLSTER Drug Co, Honolulu,
wholesale agents for the Hawaiian
Islands.

The business methods are combina-
ton of American, English, German
| and Oriental with distinctive local
tinge or coloring. The country has a
million dollars of its own issue of sill

Sprecke's furnished this and had the
seigniorage and percentage for profit.
But finances are on the gold basis, with
the United States yellow utterances as
standard.

and gold is always one per cent pre-

est shown by the thermometer was 80

had. but on Thursday 1t came on clou-
DIV. there was a heavy rain, and the
mercury ran down to a registration OF
81 above. Mr.. Logan was compelled
to sing to keep himself warm. HIS
vocal efforts did not lose him any
friends. as he has succeeded in estab-
fishing himself quite firmly. The ma
tives in the village sighed at once for
the Islands. The Hawaiians for long
time have been Counting the days TIL
the ending OF the exposition. There
is some likelihood, however, that the
musicians and dancers may fill some
engagements in the East after complet-
ing their contracts here. There Is talk
TOO. of the exposition management Sc
curing the Hawaiians to appear in pub
lie places on the grounds each evening
as a companion attraction to the Bell
stedt band, which has been re-engaged
to remain to the end OF the show.
The exposition people are feeling In
better spirits today than for many
weeks. They have just made the sale,
to the Chicago Wrecking Company, OF
all the buildings at a figure OF $4,000.
The exposition company paid but $lS,-
900 for the property. An advantageous
sale of the waterworks plant has also
been made. This gives the exposition
people a goodly quantity Of cash with
which to advertise East and West, for
the engagement OF features and en-
couragement of excursions. Much bet
ter attendance and from greater dis
tances, Is anticipated for the rest of
this month and all OF next.

tertained handsomely by the Gany-

the leading young men of Council

AT the end of the first week OF the
thid month of the exposition the pros
poets for fine finale are much better
than ever before. They have their po-
litical nights in the various boai dis and
committees every day, but between.
or in the midst of the rows something
is done to forward the interests of the
enterprise. They are now spending
considerable money for advertising
and some intelligent effort in this line
is seen. The railways are at last be-
ginning to do their share. This week
there have been two excursions of ed
itors and many men Of both the par
ties have been interested in the ISL
ands. They ask many questions and
eagerly accept literature. | must say

identity. There Is not one man in 500

having been elected to be the first
delegate in Congress from the Islands
In the Press building here one may
have access to several hundred OF the
principal newspapers of the country

them is the opposition OF a number of
Republican papers to imperialism, but
