Advertising is to the merchant
what blowing and sowing is to the
farmer. Imagine a farmer trying
to raise crop by sitting on the
fence as he looks over a ten-acre
field wishing that a nice crop of
wheat or corn would spring up in it.
Ridiculous, isn't it? But not more
so than a merchant who hides a
stock of goods away in storeroom
and then sits on the counter, hoping
that people will come in and buy.

Report Of Road Commissioner

To the Honorable County Court of
Hardeman County:
hereby submit this, my Fourth
Quarterly report of the public high
ways and bridges of the County for
the year 1900. l have travelled
over large portion of the County
since my last report and have an
swered every call that was made on
me when my services were needed,
have answered four petitions for
opening and changing roads, as will
be seen from my reports on same
which are in the possession of the
Clerk, to be acted upon by your
Court. During the last quarter L
have endeavored to impress upon
each district contractor to do all
necessary work on roads, to patch
and repair them when needed. In
some districts the work has been
somewhat satisfactory when we take
into account the limited amount of
road tax to be used in same. Roads
in other parts of the County are
not what they ought TO be, having
been neglected by the contractors
and hands There are several dis
tricts in the County that need more
road funds, cts. tax not being suf-
fcient to keep the roads and dis
trict bridges as they should be kept,
while other districts can make out
10 get along as they have in the
past with cts. tax, but we need to
have better roads and could have
with an additional ) cts. tax.
therefore would most respectfully
recommend to your HonorableCourt
that you assess eight days labor TO
be used on the roads when needed
and levy highway tax of 10 cts.
The public roads Of the County GER
tainly need more grading and bet
ter attention than we have given
them in the past. After this year
we might reduce the time and tax.
The roads being i'll better condition
than now, with the experience OF
the past year, l hope to manage the
public highways in a more system
attic way and that the people will
take more interest in having better
roads and bridges throughout the
County. While l am your Road
Commissioner l earnestly desire that
the members of your Court and the
public generally will notice more
closely after defective bridges and
report them to me or to the Chair
man of your Honorable Court. l
have worked in the interest of the
roads in different parts of the Coun-
ty As days. Thanking you for your
past favorable consideration and So
Letting your cooperation during this
year, | am your servant,

What the Kidneys Are For.
THAT DOAH'S BACKACHE KIDNEY PILLS Do.

! It's the duty of the kidneys to see
( that the blood keeps pure
| Not to make new blood-the food we
eat does that, but to remove from the
blood all the poisons anu impurities
the waste matter-that is gathered VI
during its circuit of the body.
These poisons are deadly.
If they are not taken out of the
blood by the natural filters, the kid
neys, they are carried back to the
heart, and are started out again all
through the body.
OF course they cause disease.
We can't be healthy if our blood isn't
pure.
When our kidneys are sick our back
aches. That's a way they have of tell
ing US they need help.
It's the duty of Doan's Backache Kid
ney Pills to cure sick kidneys.
They know their duty well.
They are performing it here in Ho-
nolulu.
Here's a case in point:
Mr.. H. H. Smythe, OF Inter-Island
S. S. Co., this city, writes to tell us
that he was afflicted with lame back
for a number of years. Assembling the
CAUSE u lll6 " LAO dAO ASclI-
ing about Doan's Backache Kidney
Pills, got some Of them at the Hollis
ter Drug Co. IS store. They relieved me
so much that 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 be-
cause they are always endorsed by Ho-
nolulu people.
Our kidneys filter our blood. They
work night and day. When healthy
they remove about 500 grains OF i'm
pure matter daily. When unhealthy
some part of this impure matter is left
In the blood. This brings on many dis
eases and symptoms-pain in the back,
headache, nervousness, hot dry skin,
gravel, govt, disordered
eyesight and hearing, dizziness, irreg-
ular heart, debility, drowsiness, drop
sy, deposits in the urine. etc. But If
you keep the filters right you will have
no trouble with your kidneys.
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are
sold by all druggists and storekeepers
at so cents per box (six boxes for S2.50)
Or will be mailed on receipt OF price by
the Hollister Drug Co, Honolulu,

They we're then assigned to cells in the
reception wing. where They will remain
until IL is learned what particular work
they are fitted for. When lis has been
ascertained they will be put TO work in
the shops and assigned TO permanent quar-
tiers in the wings nearest their work.
The men are hopeful of getting a par
don, but there is little prospect of such
thing happening. New Jersey does not
pardon conyicts OF the class OF these four
men. There has not been murderer
pardoned in the State for twenty years;
two have been paroled in that time, but
the circumstances surrounding the cases
left doubt in the mind of the Court of
Pardons as to the guilt of the convicted
men.
As the four Paterson murderers passed
the keeper of the prison on their way TO
the reception wing. each one received
little black-eoyered book, containing the
law under which they may earn communal
ton of time. This was done for the pur-
pose of acquainting the prisoners with
the fact they might shorten their terms
by good behavior.
The total allowance of time for the
thirty-year conyicts IS 1852 days. This
will cut the term of McAlister Campbell
and Death down to nineteen years and
S63 days. Kerr's term of fifteen years
may be shortened to eleven years and
eight days.

MET DEATH UNDER THE ICE.
Harold Reiss Drowned in n Pond
Near Soldiers Home.

Harold Reiss, fifteen years of age, a son
Of William Reiss, of 1872 Kenesaw Ave-
nue. northwest. while playing hockey on
the ice of a pond in the Soldiers Home
grounds, near the Whitney gate, fell
O'Clock last evening.
Since the cold weather it has been the
custom of the youths in that vicinity to
assemble upon the pond after school and
engage In hockey games Accompanying
the boy to the pond was his cousin, John
Fl. Holmead, of 1881 Thirteenth Street
northwest, who, while trying to rescue
Harold. came very near drowning himself.
but was pulled out just in time by Carl
Widmeyer. OF 3l29 Brightwood Avenue
northwest
Young Reiss, not needing the cracks in
the ice, ventured out too far and was sud
denly seen by the spectators on the shore
TO go through. Intense excitement pre-
pailed and word was sent to No. s station.
Lieutenant Kenny and Patrolmen Gier and
jenkins responded in the patrol wagon.
The lieutenant having seen that the Hol-
mead boy, who had just been brought out.
was comfortably fixed, turned his atten-
ton to devising some plan of reaching the
spot where Reiss had disappeared The
policemen he had brought with him were
ali heavy and knowing that the ice could
not Withstand their weight he called for
some person OF light weight in the crowd
to slide ladder over the ice near the
spot and lower graphing irons after the
body. the other end of the ladder being
held by the officers on shore.
Seeing that there was no time to be
lost, Monroe Edwards a bystander. offered
his aid, and slowly made his way out 10
the dark open spot where the bq"'s body
was supposed to be, pushing the ladder in
front Of him. He lowered the graphing
irons and in a minute they had caught
in the youths clothing. Giving the signal
to the officers, the body was hauled to
the top
In the mean time the scenes enacted
on the shore were indescrlbable Father
Niece, of the Church Of the Sacred
Heart. to which church the dead boy had
attended, and was a great favorite of the
priest, watched the operations being car
ried on while heads OF perspiration stood
out upon his forehead, pacing up and down
the beach. and praying necessarily for
the success Of the perilous undertaking.
The body was taken to the residence
of Sergeant Ford the gate tender. Dr.
Reiss. cousin of the dead lad, then ar
rived and, assisted by DR.. Gcron, OF the
Emergency Hospital staff. began 10 tear
the frozen clothing from the boys body.
Every means OF treatment known to the
medical profession was tried and although
there was a slight spark Of life left the
work of the physicians was without avail.
