So Different
Lots of Claims Like This, But
so Differentiated Proof
is What Honolulu
People Want.

There are a great many of them.
Every paper has it's share.
Statements hard to believe, harder to
prove.
Statements from PARKWAY places.
What people say in Florida
Public expressions from California
Outlines good endorsement there.
But of little service here at home.
Honolulu people want local proof.
The savings of neighbors, friends and
citizens.
Home Endorsement counts.
It disarms the skeptIc; Is beyond dis
pute.
This is the backing that stands be-
hind every box Of Doan's Kidney Pills.
Here is a case OF it:
Mr. Cyrus s. Edison OF Kapiolani
Park, this city, says: ''I am at present
a teamster and came to the Islands
fifteen years ago. Previous to that
drove q stage coach in the United
States. These occupations necessitat-
ing my being out at all seasons were nc

I had the ordinary symptoms of this
complaint, and resorted to host OF
things to cure 1t. All of them failed
to do SO, however, and when. had al
most given up hope I heard about
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills and got
some at the HOLSTER Drug Co.'S store.
They did indeed relieve me and I am

man Joseph Duff Wednesday permitting
Jersey City to execute a mortgage or
mortgages to guarantee bonds which will
be issued to pay for the new supply Of
water for Jersey City from the Rock
away liver at Boonton, the works of
which will cost when completed, over
seven and a-half millions of dollars.
Corporation Attorney Robert Carey,
speaking for tn Pagan administration
this morning, said he mad not read the
BILL but he could give assurance that it
did not emanate from the administra-
ton.
Several Of the Street and Water Com

know nothing about it.
Clerk George Bouton of the Board
said he had tho leasure of condemning
the bill six weeks ago, but further than

Never in the history of the Friendly

ricl's Day been more appropriately celeN
brated than it was last evening, when
the annual banquet of the local order
took place at the Jersey City Club.
Irish history was reviewed by every
speaker, and although there was a num-
Der of disappointments in regard to
speakers, the evening was spent in lis
tening to good Irish oratory.
The club house was tastefully dec
GRATED with American and Irish flags
and on the stage at the rear of the
banquet hall was seated Beggs's orches-

can music during the Serving of the

on such an elaborate scale that every
one had praise for the excellent judg-

One of the noticeable things that took
place at the banquet was the distribu-

HAMlLL AND FIELDER ACTIVE
Hudson Men Moved to Re-
lieve the Committee of
Their Bills But Their
Motions Were Lost.
HAHILL AND FIELDER ACTIVE


Special to 1.-THE Jersey City News
TRENTON, March lo, 1904 As the
day of adjournment draws nearer the pro-
ceedings in the Legislature become more
and more noisy an dthe chamber sounds
more and more with the voices of the
Assemblymen, who are anxious to make
themselves heard on this or that bill.
Yesterday was a busy day, and noisy
one. Several motions had been made
the special order of the day either foE
the morning or afternoon sessions and
on top of this there were several hear
ings.
During the morning session an earnest
effort was put forth to relieve the COM
mittee on railroads and canals of one or
more Of the bills which have for their
object the assessment of railroad property
in the several and respective municipali-
ties at the rate in which other properties
are assessed in each municipality, and
not as now by the State Board Of As
SCISSORS, and then reapportion a part OF
this tax to the municipalities through
which the railroads own and maintain
roads and other franchises.
The fight was inaugurated by Mayor
Pagan and captained by Corporation
Counsel George L. Record, of Jersey
City.
Mr.. Hamill, of Hudson, moved, as he
had served notice that he would, to re-
lieve the committee on railroads and
canals of the bill and this precipitated
d long and wordy war, but his motion
was finally lost.
Mr. Hamill said he introduced the
measure January 25 and that February
Is the advocates of the bill were given
public hearing and as there had
been no word from the opponents Of the
bill he asked that the committee be COM
pelled to give up the measure so that the
members of the house could have an OPP
portunity to discuss it"
This motion was opposed by Mr.. Col
clough, of Mercer, chairman of the COM
mittee. Mr.. Colclough admitted that Mr.
Hamill said was true, and added.
81 have been informed by represent
atives of the parties opposed to the meas
ure that they would want hearing and
at that time the committee did not feel
at that time the committee diinot feel
that it should arbitrarily fix a date and
should give the gentlemen time to pre-
pare the objections to the measure.
After little more wrangling the
motion Of Mr.. Hamill was put and lost.
Mr.. Fielder then moved to relieve the
same committee of similar bill, in
which he had introduced, and after sim
liar arguments We're made by both sides
this motion was also lost.
The bills~are still in the hands of the
committee and they are likely to stay,
as the legislature has fixed Friday of
next week as the date for final and
journment and there is yet no date set
for the opponents of the bills to be heard.
