SURETY BONDS.
One OF Americas Largest Companies
Opens Business in Honolulu

Mr.. Frank NJ. Hall, western manager
for The United States Fidelity and
Guaranty Company of Baltimore, Md,
is in the city in the interest of his COM
pany, which has decided to open an
agency in Honolulu for the purpose of
extending it's business to the last bit
of United States territory not hereto
fore covered by them.
The United States Fidelity and Guar
anty Company is one of the largest
bonding concerns in America, and is
not only entered in every State in the
Union, but in every county in every
State. 1t has a cash capital of $780,
10000, and surplus of over a million
dollars, making it one of the strongest
corporations of its kind in the world.
1t is an opportune time for Mr.. Hall
to enter his company in this territory,
for when the County Act goes into eff
feet in January next, county officers
will have to give bonds aggregating
hundreds of thousands of dollars, and
the probabilities are that few individ-
uals will care to take the RESPONSIBLE
ity of attaching their names to official
bonds when their office holder friends
can get surety bonds without any per-
sonal expense, the law providing that
the counties themselves shall pay he
premiums on bonds placed in surety
corporations.
Section 81 of the County Act requires
bonds from county officials in amounts
not less than the following: Treasurer
900; County Clerk, $4,000; Auditor,
$4,000; Sheriff, $4,000; Assessor and
Tax Collector, $4,000; District Attor-
ney, 100000; Recorder, $4,000; Survey
or, $4,000; District Magistrate, 81, 200;
Road Supervisor, $4,000.
Besides official bonds the Fidelity
and Guaranty Company issues fidelity
bonds for bank and mercantile en-
ployes, lodge officials and persons in
any positions of trust, customs and in
ternaI revenue bonds, and all sorts CT
judicial bonds
Mr.. Hall has placed the agency Of his
company with the Henry Waterhouse
Trust Company, whose equipment and
standing are such as to insure his COM
pany good returns from this terri
tory.

WHAT IS PAIN BALM?

Chamberlain Pain Balm is a Ini-
ment and, while adapted to all the or
binary uses of liniment, has qualities
which distinguish it from other rene
dies of this class. Pain Balm is es-
pecially beneficial for rheumatism.
Thousands of cases can be cited in
which t has effected a cure when the
sufferer had previously tried the best
medical service without securing re-
lief. Pain Balm is positively guaran-
teed to give relief in the most severe
cases of chronic or acute rheumatism.
Pain Balm heals bruises, burns and
scalds in less time than any other
treatment. It is "antiseptic" that is,
is prevents putrefaction and by so do
ing, generally prevents an unsightiy
scar remaining after the injury is heal
ed. For lame back. lumbago and neu-
ralgia, Pain Balm has no equal. It
has the quality of getting to the right
spot" No sufferer from these distress
ing affections should defer trial of
this remedy. One application gives re-
lief. Try it. Benson. Smith & Co.,
Ltd, Wholesale Agents sell it.
