The Governor of Hawaii, Honolulu.
Referring to previous correspondence
on the subject, transmit herewith for
your information, copy of a letter adj
dressed to the President on September
9, 1908, recommending the incurrence of
Indebtedness under the Hawaiian Terri
torial Loan Act for the present year,
in the sum of Slips. 1OS.O3, together
with copy of the Presidents endorse
ment on his approval thereon.
In this connection it is proper to
add that on the I'd of October, 1903
this Department suggested to the Sec
rotary of the Territory, the ADVISABLE
ty of the acceptance of Hawaiian bonds
issued in the amount and under the
Loan Act above stated, for the present
year, as security for deposits of pub
lie money of the United States in ma
tional banks. Under date of the 3rd
instant, the Secretary of the Treasury
stated, in effect, that his Department
would accept these bonds as security
for deposits of public money in national
banks on the basis of ninety per cent
of their par value whenever further de-
posts may be made, and that said
Hawaiian Territorial bonds may at
any time be substituted for United
States bonds now held as security for
deposits, upon condition that the Uni
ted States bonds thus released be used
as security for additional bank note
circulation.

disturbance. with a sorrowful ending,
was averted this morning by the
prompt action of one of our prominent
citizens.
About 10 a. m. a handful of poll
ticians were standing near the corner
of King and Fort streets, discussing
the merits of their several candidates,
painting their virtues in glowing col
ors, until one of their number took
offense at a supposed insinuation rela-
tive to a family skeleton. The discus
sion waXed very warm, several blows
were exchanged, and the argument
gave promise of being a lively one,
until bystander proposed that the
subject under discussion be submitted
to arbitration, and be peaceably set
tied, the warlike aspirants for political
laurels agreed, and Bath the Plumber
was called, and decided that the Doug
lass Patent Closet was the best on
earth.

WASTING SICKNESS

WHICH PUZZLES DOCTORS.
Mrs. Allaire Was Failing Every
Day and Her Physician Could
Not Help Her.

| How many men and women are suf-
which doctors can find no satisfactory
explanation and which ordinary medi-
cines fail to cure. a recommendation
of change of air is often the result of
fruitless experimenting. Many, how
ever, are not able to follow such ad-
vice and others, unfortunately, find no
benefit after all their expense and
trouble. This, for long time, was
the experience of Mrs. George Allaire,
of No. Knox street, Worcester Mass.
She says:
Il was SO greatly run down in health
that the doctor who was attending me
said would never get well. 1 was

CHASTITY white. / couldn't eat nor
sleep, couldn't work-in fact, was so
weak that 1 spent more days in bed
than 1 did out of it. 1 suffered con-
siderable pain in the region of the liver,
my stomach was out of order and was
so miserable that 1 began to think the
doctor was right.
Finally, one day when the doctor
was at the house to see me, told him
was going to give DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People trial. All right,
he said, do so. There is nothing more
can do for you
Imagine my feelings when after
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills four
weeks 1 was able to do my washing and
1 had not been able
to even attempt for three years. I kept
on taking this medicine for a while
longer and was entirely cured.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People, the medicine which cured Mrs.
Allaire and thousands of others, are an
unfailing specific for all diseases arising
from impoverished blood or weakened,
unstrung nerves-two fruitful causes of
nearly all the ailments to which man
kind is heir. They have cured stub
born cases of rheumatism, nervousness,
spinal trouble, partial paralysis, loco
motor ataXia, ST. Vitus' dance, and all
forms of weakness. AS a tonic, acting
on both the blood and the nerves, they
have no equal. To be benefited by DIR.
