LIFT A CHURCH DEBT
Baptists Raise a Nice Sum of
Money at Services.
More Than Four Thousand Is
Subscribed in Hurry.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
At the Baptist church yesterday
morning, instead of having the pastor
preach, the people decided to do a lit
tie practicing and result $4,000
was quickly raised to pay the re-
naming indebtedness on the parsonage.
1t is the purpose of the trustees
of the church to raise $4,000. OF this
amount $4,000 will be used to pay
the mortgage, about 5000 to meet ac-
cumulated interest on the $4,000 and
the remaining $500 will be used to i'm
prove the church property.
But Little Preparatory Canvassing
As but very little preparatory can
vassing had been done and all the
members of the church were not pres
'ent, the raising of the above amount
was more remarkable. The small
amount needed to make the entire sum
$4,000 will no doubt be quickly Sc
cured.
This leaves all the church property
free from incumbrance.
Pastor Feels Happy.
The pastor, Rev. E. H. Willisford,
said this morning: 81 am feeling
very happy and jubilant over what
my people did yesterday. 1t certainly
does greatly encourage a pastor when
his people show such interest. The
raising of this debt lifts heavy
burden from my people and we will
now be free to undertake a larger
work along other lines. Not until last
Wednesday did 1 know that there was
even a thought that an effort would
be made to raise this debt at this
time"
Best Parsonage in State
The parsonage is located at 40
Warren. 1t is an eight room house,
beside bath and hall, with furnace, hot
and cold water on all floors. There
is basement under the entire house
and large attic. This house was
built two years ago and is considered
one of the best parsonages in the
state.
During the day enough pledges were
made to bring the amount up to
less than $50 of the sum required.
The ladies' aid society pledged $1,000,
and the Sunday school $500. Aside
from these individual subscriptions
ranged from $500 downward. Ahe
subscriptions are to be paid the COM
ing year.
1t is the desire of the church to
pay off its Indebtedness and make
necessary repairs and get in shape
for an early enlargement of the church
structure at an expenditure of $4,000.
The building was planned with the
idea of an addition being built on the
rear for the Sunday school rooms, and
a gallery.

Ill FROM OVERN()Rk
NERVOUS PROSTRATTON CURED
BY DR. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
By Toning up the Blood and Nerves Pa
Uieut Recovered Weight, Strength
and Good Spirits.

When the nervous system IS broken
down from overwork, or whatever
cause, life loses its joys. Not only is
the nervous victim a sufferer himself
but he is usually trial 10 the whole
family. Nervous breakdown Is often
gradual, appearing at first to be merely
an unusual fretfulness. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills tone up the nerves in the
most direct way and not only cure
minor troubles but serious disorders as
well.
Mr.. W. ". Munroe, of Is Hazel Park,
Everett, Mass, says: About four
years ago this September I became all
run down from overwork and from con-
hnement TO work during warm weather.
For two months / grew steadily worse.
l lost IN weight and strength and had
no appetite NY memory failed me
quite rapidly and I became in a very
low state, both physically and mental
". l took no interest IN life, neither
IN business nor recreation. In my posi-
ton, as foreman in a large manufae
turing chemist 5 establishment in Bos
ton, a good memory is absolutely es-
sential TO success because of the i'm
mense amount of detail that must be
carried in the head
Il grew very despairing, could not
bear to have people meet me and my
friends remarked on my condition.
About the middle of December a friend
told me one day that he had tried DR..
Williams Pink Pills and found them
reliable. I commenced taking them and
at the end OF two weeks the change for
the better was remarked by friends. /
continued using the pills until I was
thoroughly recovered. I regard them
as fine remedy and make this state
ment voluntarily in gratitude for the
benefit / received from them.
These pills actually make new blood
and have cured such diseases as rheu-
matism, nervous and general debility,
indigestion. nervous headache, neural
gia and even partial paralysis and
loc0motor ataxia As a tonic for the
blood and nerves they are unequalled.
IF YOU are a sufferer from any dis
order Of the blood and nerves write for
proof of what DR.. Williams Pink Pills
have accomplished IN eases similar to
yours. Every testimonial used by this
company is carefully investigated be-
fore being published and is authentic.

all druggists. or direct by mail, post
paid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per

POLO LINEUP Of
TEAM FROM MAUI
Ponies From Other Island
Said to Be Finest That
Gould Be Found

While the Oahu Polo Club has been
getting ready for the August touTna-
ment against Maui. the members OF
the Makawao Polo Club have been by
no means asleep They have been
practising steadily through the season
and have the advantage Of the local
players in the fact that they have
played together right along. while the
local men have divided up, so that
two even teams might be organized
for games on Kamehameha Day and
the Fourth Of July. AS the result of
this the Maui players have perfected
their team play thus early in the sea-
son. and should put up a most formid-
able front against local men
The men who will play against Ca
hu have been picked out for some time
and have been playing together as fol-
lows:
G. W. Wilbur. Kailua, No. l; c. c.
Krumbhaar, Hamakuapoko, No. >; F.
F. Baldwin, Puunene, No. 8; D. L.
Fleming. Hanlakua poke. No. 4.
The Maui team is a good deal heav-
Ter than that which played here in
previous tournaments and their ponies
are the pick Of the islands. In speed
they are, Of course, an unknown guam
tity in comparison with the ponies Of
the oahu boys, but the stories which
come from Maui indicate that they
can turn on ten cent piece. when
running at their fastest. When the
Claudine brings them in they will be
carefully inspected by the local play

and frauds in plenty everybody
knows; but it is seldom or never
that any large business house is
guilty of them, no matter what

can be no permanent success Of

never will be. The men who try
that are simply fools and soon
come to grief, as they deserve.

TALKS ABOUT
THE FIGHTERS

Squires wants John Burns to fight
him in Australia, but it is doubtful if
the match win ever come off Burns

make good. and can always fall back
on the six-round goes IN Philadelphia.
His next logical opponent is Jack
Johnson. The big negro beat Bob Fftz-
simmons easily and has always made
a good showing. Burns has never
drawn the color line and the match,
which is in process Of negotiation be-
tween the two men and san Francisco
promoters, should be a good one.
Johnson has the following 10 say
