WHOSE FAULT IS ITa

The world is full of disease and
pain. Whose fault is it? Every
body's; therefore often the fault
of the sufferers themselves But
the pressing question is,-what to
do, how to relieve, how to cure.
What would become of US If
means were not found to destroy
disease? Why, then, of course,
disease would destroy us and the
world would be depopulated. I'm
til we learn how to prevent dis
ease, we must be thankful for the
means of G5ati1pg and curing it
after it has seized upon us, and
stands, like a savage with uplifted
axe, ready to take our lives. Es-
pecially do we need some sure
and speedy form of treatment
for those complaints which are
universal,-which arise in every
country and climate. We allude
to such ailments as Nervous and
General Debility, Hysteria, Scro-
fula, Chronic Diarrhea, Asthma,
Throat and Lung Complaints,
Blood Impurities, and the ills of
women and children. For these
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
comes as near to being an actual
specific as any medicine yet dis

and contains the nutritive and
curative properties of Pure Cod
Liver Oil, extracted by us from
fresh cod livers, combined with
che Compound Syrup of Hypo-
phosphites and the Extracts of
Malt and Wild Cherry. You may
almost say that it is life itself
embodied in a single article made
by human hands. DR.. J. l.. Car
rick says: "I have had remark
able success with it in the treat
ment of Consumption, Chronic
Bronchitis, Catarrh and Scrofu-

value in nervous prostration and

COUNTY BILL Is
READY FOR REPORT

The House Committee on County Bill
should be able to close up its report
today and present 1t to the House i'm
mediately. The work of consideration
has been finished and the amendments
to the bill are neither many nor radi-
cal.
as the amended bill now stands the
alterations which are momentous are
four in number. These are the incor-
poration of the Kauai school bill, as in
troduced into the House as a supple
mental act by Keliinoi, into the County
bill to replace the provision for Ter
ritorial control of the Department of
Public Instruction. the provision plac-
ing district magistrates and road boards
under the control of the county SUPER
visors. and providing that the super
visors are to be elected from districts
divided. On this island for instance
the district east of Nuuanu street is
given three supervisors, from Nuuanu
street to Moanalua two. and the outer
districts two. On Maui Wailuku has
two and each of the other districts one.
The county of West Hawaii is wiped
out and its name made Kaniaupuni,
with Hamakua substituted for Kau, in
the constituency, and the county seat
placed at Waimea.
The other changes are minor ones and
will not cause fights on the floor,
though the school matter and the
alteration in the district magistrates
and road boards may raise some little
discussion and cause division of the
vote The House may not attempt to
consider the bill until that of the SEN
ate has been sent down, so that there
may be speedy action had.
The committee which has been in
vestigating the Kalihi Detention Camp
will report this morning favoring the
of the Vida bill providing
for the erection of an ainshouse from
the camp, in committee of the whole
house, as there are several opinions as
to the proper future of the camp.
The committee which is investigating
the Rapid Transit Company will meet
this morning to hear the evidence of
the officials of the company.

Residents of Honolulu, like other
American citizens, in making an in
vestment want to be sure of getting the
worth of their money. They want to
know all the why's and wherefores, and
in direct ratiu to the value of the in
vestment they burrow and ferret until
satisfied with the collateral. Take an
instance in the realm OF proprietary
articles. II we know of a friend who
has been cured we have some faith in
the preparation; if we know of two or
three our faith increases. If the cures
anyone who still maintains that there
is nothing beyond ordinary merit in
the said preparation, can safely be left
to the care of his fellow taxpayers. If
he wishes to pick quarrel with them
on the question of their judgment and
veracity, he has ample opportunity in
Honolulu to do so. Begin with this
case.
Mr.. H. H. Smythe. of Inter-IsIand
S. S. Co., this city, writes to tell US
that ne was afflicted with a lame back
for a number of years. "Ascribing the
cause of this to the kidneys and hear
ing about Doan's Backache Kidney
Pills, I got some of them at the Hollis
ter Drug Co.'S store. They relieved me
so much that I am perfectly satisfied
with the result of having taken them,
and can recommend the pills to others,
suffering from backache."
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
becoming popular in Honolulu because
they are always endorsed by Honolulu
people.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all druggists and stcrekeepers
at 40 cents per box (six hoxs for 81 5G)

Men Who Said That
They Paid for
Protection.
They Learn That Their Protector
Has Lost his Pub With
the Police.

1t Is really most alluring game, that
game of Pakapio. known colloquially on
the mainland OF the United States as
"Ch!na lottery" but it is receiving
strong encouragement at the hands OF
the local authorities just at the present
moment.
For it was concerning the game OF
Pakapio that some indiscreet Chinese
gambler asserted that he was paying
for and receiving police protection, and
that boast led Attorney General Lorrin
Andrews and High Sheriff Brown to
plan and carry out raid upon three of
the leading Pakapio banks in town at
a time when it was known that the
men who ran the banks would them
selves be on hand to fall into the police
net. And they fell in. There were sew

All Chung, All Ping. All Ngui, All Lai.

but that will only bring their cases be-
fore a jury in the Circuit Court, and it
is hoped some action may be secured
there that will so disgust them with the
protection they are not now receiving
that one or more of them may be in
duced to "squeal." Then there will be
some hope of finding out who is re-
ceiving the money, If anybody is-

Kama's wife died last December and

were buried side by side and the new
grave is adjacent to the other two. The
