IN MEMORY OF MAMIE BOYD

Sister Mamie Boyd, wife of w. j.
Boyd, near Wellman, Lincoln County,
Miss, died at her home April 3, 1902 at
the age of 26 years. She united with
old Galilee church in 1890 and was
baptized by her father, Elder j. A..
Scarborough. She was married to
W. j. Boyd, February ii, 1888, and
united with Pleasant Hill church by
letter April 3, 1898 Sister Boyd made
for herself numbers of friends who
esteemed her because of her true
worth as woman and as a Christian.
She was devoted wife, an affection
ate mother, a true friend and a con-
secrated Christian. She loved Jesus
and served Him faithfully. We, as
church extend to her bereaved fam
lily aud relatives our deepest sympathy
and pray God to comfort them since
the dark clouds of sorrow have gath
cred about them. May they look,
through faith, to the time whom all
shall he reunited beyond the river in
the Sweet By. and By,

Whooping Cough.

A woman who has had experience
with this disease, tells how to prevent
any dangerous consequences from it.
She says: Our three children took
whooping cough last summer, our baby
boy being only three months old, and
owing to our giving them Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, they lost none
OF their plumpness and came out in
much better health than other children
whose parents did not use this remedy.

HONOLULU, Sept. 9.--The Republi-
can territorial convention has nomi-
mated Prince Jonah Kalauiauole, pop
ularly known as Prince Cupid, for
delegate to congress. The Democrats
and Home Rule party have formed a
fusion. The Democrats agree to en-
dorse r. W. Wilcox for reelection t.
congress, and the Home Rulers are
TO give number of the Democrats
places on their legislative tickets. II
is said that the prince will have the
support of Ex-Queen Lii against Will
cox.
The platform adopted by the Repub-
licans contains demand that the city
and county government be established
in Hawaii as soon as possible.
Volcano Kilauea has again broken
out in active eruption. Later reports
from the island of Hawaii state that
lake of hot lava has appeared liz the
smaller crater and that the volcano
is again displaying streamers of fire,
forming a grand spectacle.
(Kilauea. in the Hawaiian islands, is
the largest active volcano in the
world. 1t is about 80 miles from Homo
lulu and attracts many tourists when
in eruption. Prince kalauiauole be-
longs to the once royal family and nat
urally will have the royalist vote).

TACOMA POLITICS.

TACOMA, Sept. 9.--Delegates .. to tlne
Republican state convention have
spent the day caucusing over three
congressional nominations and the in
dications tonight are that Representa-
tiyes Cushman and Jones will b. re-
nominated, and w. e. Humphrey, Of
Seattle will be selected as the third
candidate.
Friends Of BrowneIl. Of Everett,
Pickrell, Of Colfax, Falknoor, OF Olym-
pia, and Bridges. Of Aberdeen, have
been trying TO effect a combination
where by one of them would be chosen
instead of Humphrey, but they failed
to secure the necessary votes.
The anti-railroad commission dele
gates have been making a hard fight
and 1t is almost certain that they will
be able to prevent the insertion in the
platform Of the plank favoring ap-
pointiye commission and possibly will
have enough votes TO defeat even the
elective proposition. Governor Nc
Brides. friends, however, claim to be
confident tint the convention viii en-
dorse his views in favor Of appointive
commission.
Judge Hadley will undoubtedly be re-
nominated for justice OF the supr me
court and A. J. Falknoor, Of olym-
pia, will probably be selected chair
man of the convention.
