Anyone who is so unfortunate, how.

nerves, will realize that any advice that
can be given to help them will be invalu.
able.
We want to impress upon our friends
and neiehbors in this city that Vinol.
that great tonic reconstructor is one Of
the most wonderful nerve strengtheners
that we have ever encountered. In.
cidental]y VIC would like to mention the
lact that anyone who is suffering from a
depleted condition Of any of the organs
or the body ought not to lose sight of
Nlnoi as means to tone up the body in
part or in whole.
We have had cases come to our obser-
vation where Vinol has been taken for
nervousness with the most wonderful
results. Indigestion, sleeplessness, head
aches and various other ills that are all
frequently result of disordered nerves
vanish when the nerves are reinvigorated.
The following case is one which bears
on this subject.
DUNKIRK, n. VI cannot speak too
highly of Vinol. For long time was

GUS dyspepsia. l tried many medicines
but nothing did me as much good as
Vinol. 1t strengthened my nerves and
gave tone to my whole system. urge
anyone similarly afflicted to give vinol
trial.
MRS. F. STEIGER.
Because of the good that VinoI has
done in the past for nervous troubles
do we feel so sure that there never
has been better general tonic offered
othe public. We unhesitatingiy offer
to refund to anyone the price they
pay for vinol who after fair trial Is
not satisfied.

The Hawaii mail arriving 900 the

red Be- not known. but is was discover
ed early Saturday morning. when the
pOstotnCo authorities called at On"
steamer for the mail
The local police and federal auth0r-
tiles at once began the utmost efforts
to trace the missing bag. Before the
day was over officer David KAPPA
found the bag that had been in the
pouch. Registered mail Us placed in
two bags, "a leather one outside. u was
the inner bag that was found. The bag
had been slit omen and the contents had
been removed.
There is mo- clue to work on. but
strong efforts are being made To trace
the stolen property Much of IT, 1t h.
thought. Us of such a character that II
may Doe easily identified. The bag
probably contained many Christmas
presents. some of them very likely be-
ing Money orders or checks and others
cash, jewelry etc. The value of the
contents OF the bag cannot be stated,
though il Is estimated By rumors at an
kinds of figures Reports have it at
from $4,000 to $500. There is no means
of knowing the value of the mail how
ever. The bag was full or registered
matter. and only the many people who
mailed the stuff can say what it was
worth.
1t Is thought likely that the robber or
robbers got little that would be of use
to them, for only coin or greenbacks
could be used with safety, and little of
these are sent through the mails.
The bag found by David KAPPA was
on the Esplanade, opposite the Inter-
Island wharf, not far from where the
Kinau lay
Under tba mail contracts the staan1-
ship company is held to be liable to the
government for whatever loss is sus-
tanned. The government ENSURES" re-

tent of $40, and will pay that amount
for registered letters or packages that

the present the steamship company Will
have to stand the loss, as the mail was
in charge of the Kinau when the rob-
berry occurred.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
Little Girl Burned to Death in Her
Nightdress.

HILO. December 2O.-The adopted
three year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Philip Victor was accidentally and fat
ally burned at their home on Waianue-
nue. street last Saturday evening. The
little girl had been dressed for bed by
her mother and the mosquito netting
had been spread. Instead of going to
sleep, the child secured some matches
from a near by shelf and got out of
bed to strike them on the floor. The
nightgown caught fire and instantly
the child was enveloped in sheet of
flame.
In putting out the fire Mrs. Victor's
hands and arms were badly burned.
Medical aid was summoned unavailing-
ly. Death ended the pain hours later.
1t is supposed that the flames We're in
hailed and that internal Inflammation
caused the death. The funeral was
held Monday morning at 10 o'clock from
the Catholic church.
