DEAD KING CARRIED OFF.
Body of a Hawaiian Ruler Removed
From Its Resting Place

San Francisco, June 6--The report
comes from Honolulu that when the
tomb of LunaliIo. the barefoot king of
Hawaii was recently opened it was
found that the remains had been re-
moved and that the metal casket con-
tanned only portions of the grave
clothes 1t is surmised that the body
may have been taken by natives to a
heather grave in the mountains as a
thunder storm on the day of the burial
had much affected his superstitious
subjects.
Lunalilo was elected king in 1873 but
Is months afterward died of consum-
ton. Although he possessed a large
fortune he insisted on going about the
streets barefooted at all times. BY his
will. which was not opened until 1891,
he left his entire fortune to found a
home for aged Hawaiians.

G. Il. CHAPPELL, GRANT PARK, ILL
For several years my health was
miserable. I suffered the most dread
full pains, and was almost on the verge
of insanity. 1 consulted one of the
best physicians in New York, and he
pronounced my disease a fibroid tumor,
advising an operation without delay,
saying that it was my only chance for
life. Other doctors prescribed strong
and violent medicine, and one said I
was incurable, another told me my
only salvation was galvanic batteries,
which I tried, but nothing relieved me.
One day friend called and begged me
to try Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound. I began its use and took
several bottles From the very first
bottle there was a wonderful change
for the better. The tumor has disap-
peared entirely and my old spirits have
returned. I heartily recommend your
medicine to all suffering women -
