The PRIDE OF OUR CITY
The Havre Commercial--How and When
1t Was Established. An Up
to-Date Store.

The scribe, a comparative stranger,
sought am interview with the president
of the Havre Commercial Company.
In him was found a gentleman of
sterling qualities in which the stamn
OF self-reliance was predominant Al,
every day sort of man, yet displaying
the keen and shrewd lines of the
trained business man of today.
Like Phoenix it rose from the
ashes, alike the Havre Commercial
company has risen grander, stronger
and more replete than ever before.
When the cyclone struck Hayre last
June, the Havre Commercial suffered
greatly; not only commercially, but
the building was badly wrecked. the
roof torn off, and the walls castafar,
very little of the top story remained,
but that little has been added too and
today We see a great department store
which today ranks with the best in
the state, and whose commercial rat
ing at Bradstreet's is A No. /.
Away back in 1894, there appeared a
one-story building, its pretentions not
marked, and whose surroundings were
obscure. A tthe start it did business:
in fact, so much that after few
months after it had opened it's doors
1T became necessary to Incorporate,
thereby acquiring more capital, 50 as
to meet the demands of an increaing
trade, adding to its stock larger
assortment, and enabling them to
buy on a more extensive scale. At
that time, Havre being compara-
lively small town, it was conducted
as other stores of it's kind, the gener-
al merchandise plan, where drygoods,
sugar, boots and shoes, any old thing
was sold at the same counter There
were eight stock holders in those days
with H. w. Stringfellow as the mama
ger. AS the business increased, SO
did the push and energy OF it's mana
ger keep abreast He found it expe-,
di.nF, from time to time, to secure
more floor space; consequently build
ing was kept apace, until now SO feet
deep and 140 feet wide are the meas
urnlents Quite a contrast from a
building of 60 so feet. Added to
this are two floors and a basement
under the entire building. All are US
ed exclusively by said firm.
The three floors are used as follows
The basement for the storage of
goods that require certain amount Of
darkness, also for a heating plant. In
the bulk of heavy merchandise is un-
packed and in some instances, are di-
rectly shipped to the purchaser. 1t IS
all floored, we'll ventilated and perfect
ly dry.
Ascending to the second floor, or as
some would term it the ground floor,
We find therein a complete compart-
ment store, which is a close counter
part of the Hennessy store of Butte,
or the great Emporium of ill-fated
San Frnncisco. The impression is no.

The culture of all primitive peo-

their environment. This, of course,
means that all plains tribes, though
speaking score of languages, were
III life and manner broadly alike.
They were buffalo hunting Indians,
and only in rare cases did they give
any attention to agriculture. Buff
faIo meat was their food, and the
byproducts their clothing, tools and
implements.
The plains tribes in earlier times
were certainly true nomads. For a
time, in the depths of winter, they
camped in the shelter of some forest
along the streams. Other than that
wherever roamed a herd of buffalo,
there also wandered the baAaS OF
northern Indians. The veryet-
ence Of these tribes seemed bound
to that of the buffalo. From the
skins their lodges were built, while
the hair on the hides furnished the
robes for the body as well as mat
tresses and bed coverings. The
meat, prepared in many ways, with
the addition of a few roots and ber-
ries, furnished their entire food.
Advancing civilization has swept
these countless herds from the face
of the plains and left their human
companions stranded.-E. s. Curtis

SAYS SHE'S A
VEGETARIAN

Mrs Emma Nakuina filed her sep
arate answer in the beef trust cases in
the United States District Court yes
terday, without the aid of any attor-
ney, in which she not only denies that
she is in any trust, but says that the
charge that she is, is preposterous. And
she asks the court to allow her $500
because she has been compelled to re-
main in Honolulu to file her answer.
Mrs. Nakuina denies that she has
any influence over the directors of the
Metropolitan Meat Company, and says
that she does not even know any of
them, excepting Manager Waller. She
sells her meat to him. 1t is sold for
the best price that she can get for it.
the price she understands being regu-
lated by the fairness and other quail

ly willing, if there is one, that it
should be enjoined.
AS to the amount of meat consumed
in Honolulu, Mrs. Nakuina says that
the allegations are probably true as
to many of the inhabitants, but she
herself is a vegetarian
A general denial to the allegations in
the trust suit has also been filed by

AGAINST THE
DEFENDANT
De Bolt Does Not Want
His Juries Unduly
Influenced.

At the conclusion of the trial of Yo-
kohama, Japanese. charged with
selling liquor without a license, before
Judge De Bolt yesterday, his honor
took occasion to express his views up
on the matter of theatrical displays of
exhibits that really have no connec-
ton with cases on trial, but which
nevertheless are sometime counted up
against a defendant in the mind of a
juryman. In the case of the japanese
in question. this exhibit objected to
consisted of half a dozen bottles of
sake brought in and ranged carefully
on a table, which bottles were found
in defendants possession but, like
the flowers that bloom in the spring,
had nothing to do with the case.
The jury, after being out quite a lit
tie time, had come into court with a
verdict of guilty. Mr.. LightfoSt. of
Magoon and Lightfoot, who appeared
for the defense, at once moved for
new trial and the matter was taken
under advisement. Then the court di-
rected defendant to stand up and say
if he could why sentence should not
be passed upon him. He said he was
not guilty and Attorney Magoon then
arose and said that, in his personal
opinion, while of course the court must
follow the jury, there had been a mis-
carriage of Justice, and asked that the
lightest penalty that the law allowed
should be inflicted.
Il think myself, Mr. Douthitt,' said
Judge De Bolt to the county attorney,
play on a table here those bottles of
sake which were never introduced as
evidence. Such a thing as that is cal
culated to influence the jurymen I'M

Il did not bring them here" an
swered Douthitt, and knew nothing
about them. 1 directed their removal

are to be deprecated, and I will

are avoided in future

LIBEL AGAINST
DREDGER PACIFIC

In the Federal District Court yes
terday the Pacific Mail Steamship Co.
filed a libel against the Dredger Pa
cific for damages in the sum of $780,
900, alleged to have been sustained on
account of the propeller of the steam
ship Siberia having been entangled in
a wire cable of the dredger as the
steamer was leaving Honolulu harbor
on November 10. The libel, filed by
Kinney, Ballou & Mechanism. sets
forth that the owners of the dredger
were negligent in the placing and hand
ling of the cable, and that it was not
due to any fault of the steamship or
those in charge of her that she en-
countered the cable. AS a result of
the accident it is said that the steam
er, upon her arrival in San Francisco,
had to be placed in the drydock and
remained there four days and nights
while her propeller blades were being
removed and repaired.
Upon the filing of the libel, an at
tachment was at once issued upon the
dredger, and she was taken in charge
by United States Marshal Hendry. A
bond for her release will probably be
given today

Richardson Gave His
Superior a Strange
Document.

| "On or before the thirteenth even
| ing of February, 1904, 1, E. V. Rich
ardson, came to the office of the Ho-
| nolulu Water Works during the even
insSand took S100 out of the office safe
which amount 1 replaced the following
morning.
That note, according to the testi-
mony of Andrew Brown. former Su-
perintendent of Public Works. E V
Richardson, a collector for the Homo
lulu Water Works, wrote at his re-
quest after he had made a verbal ac-
acknowledgement to Brown that he had
taken money out of the safe after
hours with which to gamble. Richard
son was placed on trial before Circuit
Judge Lindsay yesterday. being prose-
cuted by Deputies Prosser and Flem-
ing of the Attorney Generals office
and defended by A. G.. NJ Robertson,
on charges of embezzlemenr while en-
ployed as a collector for the water
works. There are five indictments
against him. A jury was obtained to
try the case, consisting of S. Lesser,
H. Lyman. J. c. Abreu, w c. Gilman
w. r. Walter, E. Q. White, J. Orden-
stein, j. Haughton, j. A. Albert, A.
A. Dunn. A. F. Simpson and J. F.
Soper.
The first witness called for the pros
ecution was Andrew Brown, and as
he was too i'll to come into court it
became necessary to take the court to
him a his residence. SO, the court
being stinted in the matter of funds,
the jury was loaded into the patrol
wagon, the judge and attorneys TAX
ing hacks at their own expense, and
all proceeded to the Brown residence,
where the testimony of the sick man
was taken. He testified that he had
accused Richardson of having taken
money out Of the office safe after Of
fee hours. and after some hesitation
Richardson had admitted it, telling of
the 500 taken. Brown said that he
had then told Richardson to write
down the fact the paper produced in
court signed by the defendant being
the result. This paper was offered in
evidence by the prosecution, and filed.
The court then adjourned to the Ju-
dietary Building, the jurors again be-
ing accommodated in the patrol
wagon, and John Gouveia. a hackman,
was put on the stand Witness testi-
fed that on the nth of February 1904
Richardson had called him from his
hackstand to the Anchor Saloon, and
had been driven to the Capitol Build

a note and a key TO the house of one

THE BRIGHT SIDE

of life. It is a feeling common
to the majority of us that we
do not get quite the amount of
happiness we are entitled to.
Among the countless things
which tend to make us more or
less miserable i'll health takes
first place. Hannah More said
that sin was generally to be at
tributed to biliousness. No doubt
a crippled liver with the result
ing impure blood, is the cause of
more mental gloom than any
other single thing. And who
can reckon up the fearful aggre-
gate of pain, loss and fear a
rising from the many diseases
which are familiar to mankind;
like a vast cloud it hangs over
a multitude no one can number.
You can see these people every
where. For them life can scarce
ly be said to have any "bright
side" at ali. Hence the eager
ness with which they search for
relief and cure. Remedies like
WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION
have not attained their high po-
sition in the confidence of the
people by bald assertions and
Boosting advertisements. They
are obliged to win it by doing
actually what is claimed for them.
That this remedy deserves it's
reputation is conceded. It is
palatable as honey and contains
the nutritive and curative prop
critics of Pure Cod Liver Oil,
combined with the Compound
Syrup of Hypophosphites, Ex-
tracts of Malt and Wild Cherry.
Nothing has such a record of
success in Scrofula, Influenza,
Throat and Lung Troubles, and
emaciating complaints and dis
orders that tend to undermine
the foundations of strength and
vigour. It's use helps to show
life's brighter side. Professor
Reddy, of Canada, says "I have
much pleasure in stating that I
have used it in cases of debility
and found it to be a very valu-
able remedy as well as pleasing
