She Was a Mother.

When you have painfully climbed
one high hill and find there is another
as high, perhaps higher, to climb,
you lose courage.
Mrs. r. E. Anderson, of Cumber-
land, Maine, lost courage.
You should hear her story, which
is an ungarnished statement OF fact,
and has been attentively listened
TO by her friends, anu hundreds
besides.
heard it from her own lips, and
was SO impressed that / remember
every circumstance of the event, even
the date, which was March 9th, 1900.
She told me that her four children
were all afflicted with diphtheria at
the same time, and that the youngest,
a boy seven years of age, was sick
nigh unto death.
1t was a high hill that she climbed
at this time; it was difficult, too !;
and when she had climbed it she felt
that her own resources of strength and
endurance had been greatly tasked,
and she felt the need of rest.
But the disease had left the boy
very weak. He was constantly grow
ing weaker, and gradually losing mus
cular power in his body and limbs
and her anxiety was increased by SYM
pathetic neighbors, who whispered
Paralysis.
She found there was another, prob
ably higher and more difficult hill
to climb, and she lost courage; but
not all the courage she had, for she
was q mother.
The boy grew worse. His con-
dition became such as to move the
stoutest heart, and, said Mrs. Ander-
son, l had nearly despaired of saving
him, having tried many different medi-
cines to no purpose whatever, when l
began giving him Hoods Sarsaparilla.
At first that medicine did not seem to
do him much good but it had much
to do before it could make all it's effects
manifest. 1t had to cleanse and enrich
blood that had been poisoned and
impoverished, and to recover, strength
en-, and tone system that had been
Frustrated and debilitated by the
malevolence of one OF the worst OF all
diseases. l had faith in it and gave it
a fair trial, and in short time the boy
ceased to complain, began to regain
the muscular power he had lost, and
to eat well, and at the end of three
months was able to attend school a
part of the time. 1t was not long
before he was well, strong boy,
and the benefit he derived from the
medicine was permanent. He is now
the picture of health"
Mrs. Anderson thinks Hoods Sarsa-
parilla wonderful, and recommends it
on all occasions She has reason to
do so. Many others, who also recon-
mend it, have reason to do SO, too.

A recess meeting OF the board OF alder
men WAS held last Friday evening, to
close up the business OF the annual meet
ing. Mayor Greedy, Aldermen Stuart,
Mccarthy, Leland and Brady were
present.
The mayor laid before the board . YER
bal claim made by f. B. Aiken, for dam
ages to his garden caused by overflow Of
drain. The same drain caused trou BILE
four years ago, and Aid. Brady, who was
one OF the committee at that time ap-
pointed to investigate it, reported that
the direction of the drain was then
changed at the request of Mr.. Aiken, be
agreeing to take care of the water after
1t was turned into the drain across his
property. No action was taken on the
present complsint OF Mr.. Aiken.
The board discussed at some length
plans for work on roads the coming year,
but no formal action was taken. 1t was
the sentiment OF the board that work
should begin early, and that the rock
crusher be started as soon as possible, In
order that the crushed rock may be spread
on the roads while they are soft.
1t has not been decided what roads will
receive rock this year, but 1t is probs bic
that the most troublesome places on
School and Oak streets, aud other streets
on which thereis heavy teaming will be
attended to.

MURDER OF CHARLES CIRCUIT,
Former Holden Man Shot by His
Wife In Killings, Mont.

Former Holden Man Shot by His
Wife In Billings, Mont.
The AMERICAN this week received from
Billings, Mont, particulars of the murder
at that place of Charles II. circuit, for
merly OF Holden, and brother of Fred L.
circuit, OF this city. Mr.. oreutt was shot
and instantly killed by his wife, Loretta
Pillow orcutt, v ho says the shooting was
In self defense.
The tragedy occurred Thursday, March
s, at the home of the couple, IN rooms over
another family. There were no witnesses
and the first knowledge the family below
had OF II was when Mrs. Orcutt rushed in
eIclaiming that she had shot her hus-
band.
Mrs. orcutt's story OF the murder is
that her husband came home intoxicated
and abusive She prevailed upon him to
20 TO bed Immediately after supper, but
late in the night he got up and awakening
her declared, she says, that he was going
to kill her. He went to the kitchen and
returned with a Ratchet, While he was
gone, Mrs. circuit ran into another room
and procured a revolver. When her bus-
band approached she fred three shots, all
taking effect, the last penetrating his
heart.
Though the coroneris jury fosnd that
Mr. 0rcutt "came to his death from
wounds inflicted by his wife dnder great
prorocation", in tine justice court the cir
eamstances were considered sufficient to
warrsnt holding Mrs. orcutt, without
bail, for trial for murder in the first
degree
The Billings Times says Mrs. CIRCUITS
reputation was not OF the best. Mr.. Or
cut married her last Decem Der.

PORTUGUESE FORM
REPUBLICAN, CLUB

Portuguese voters will meet before
the end of the week, the time not be-
ing set absolutely, to form Republi-
can club This move started yester
day morning after the members of the
Portuguese Political Club who were not
present at the Tuesday meeting of the
club realized just what was meant by
the action of the body.
There was much comment yesterday
upon the fact that the club should at
tempt to make such a declaration as
was made, that j. M. Camara was the
unanimous choice of the club, when in
fact there were not more than so mem
bers present at the meeting, and as
well there were some who did not vote,
and 20 voted against the passage of
such resolution. Even this bare ma
jority was not secured until after there
had been some heavy dragooning of the
members by the advocates of Camara,
and q speech in which that gentleman
had declared his faith in the club.
Among the assertions made by the
advocates of Camara was one that
there could be no hope of securing the
nomination of Camara by certifying
him to the Republican committee as
one of a number of candidates for his
being still a Democrat would be suffi-
cient to prevent the Republicans from
placing him on their ticket. This was
reported and there were men present
who could not come to any other con-
clusion than that the only way to get
Camara was to make such demand
! that he and no other would be named
/ by the Republicans.
| After this statement j. M. Vivas went
further, saying that the only way in
which the matter could be settled would
| be to have an independent ticket if the
Republicans refused Camara He sug-
gested that in that event the club
should run an independent campaign
putting up for representative Camara
and Andrade. Andrade refused to an
swer question as to whether or not
he would make such race at this
time, saying that it was premature and
he was not in favor of independent
movements when there were strong or
ganized parties.
There was such strong feeling yester-
| day that the Republican club was de-

POLITICAL FIDELITY.

To the Democrats accept Wilcox they
will not get Democrat but Home
Ruler: and this irrespective of what
platform they may give the candldate
to stand on. The political theory upon
which Wilcox acts is to use parties as
means to an end and that end the per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGMENT of himself. Elect
ed to a Republican Congress he insist
ed on adding the name of that party
TO the titles of his own; but Wneh
something led him to suppose that the
next Congress might be Democratic ne
wiped off the Republican label ana ieIt
himself in shape to be called Democat-
ic in case the political complexion OF
the House should change. Nevertheless
as way Of bridging the gulf between
him and the old camp, he had the
Home Rulers adopt a platform plank
rledging their loyal support to the ad-
ministration. Should the Democrats
control the next House, Wilcox, II elect
ed will be one of them for the time
being: if not, and he finds 1T in any
way to his interest to act with the otn-
err side. he will train with the Repubh-
cans. pointing to the platform plank as
a guarantee of good faith Neither side
can depend on him. His politics Is
bounded like one of the old Spanish
srants-by a wild hog on the north a
swarm of bees at the SOUTH by the
weather on the east and by the pot al
the end of the rainbow on the west
the amplitude being great and the sur
vey uncertain.
The Prince, on the other hand, IN
eouivocally enrolled himself as a Re-
publ;can before his nomination. There
was no Endorsement of a Kuokoa can

NO. ROOM FOR FACTION.

a Republican is man who votes the
Republican ticket and does nothing to
impede or dissuade others from voting
it.
A nugwump is man who does not
consider himself bound to accept the
verdict of the party to which he pro-
fesses to belong and who bolts when
ever his advice is not taken.
A sorehead is a mugwump in the last
and violent stages of the disease.
There are times when the mugwump
and the sorehead afford a light and
pleasant entertainment to the party
and the public-but such times have
passed in Hawaii. Confronted by a
great emergency it is the duty of every
voter to get into line and do his best
to whip the enemy.
The Advertiser is Republican 1t is
ready to work with any man. no matter
what it's past differences with him may
have been, to elect a Republican Dele
gate and Republican Legislature and
it makes no complaint even of the city
and county plank in the platform.
That is a spirit which it shares with
nine tenths of the party and hopes to
share, very soon, with the remaining
fraction.

The Hawaiians once made Prince
Cupid an heir presumptive TO tne
throne. The chance is now theirs to
show the people of the United States
that he was worthy of the rank they
conferred on him. Their royalty has
been often and severely attacked and
they owe it to themselves to let Amer
leans see how fit the Prince is to make
a figure in the public life of a great
civilized State. The Queen should value
this opportunity as well as they.

Deacon Tesla says he is for Wilcox
because he is forced by principle to
vote for the man he .despises. But
where does principle come in when
Tesla is a Democrat and Wilcox is
something else? Heaven protect US
from the thought that the Deacon
meant the kind of principal that draws
interest.
