Says Hope Got No Bonds.

Hope did not have any 'ShoshOne Pow
er company bonds in his possession. He
negotiated a proposed loan and trust
deeds were made out for the amounts. but
I attended to all this business and Hope
had nothing to do with it. He kept de-
laying things time and again in securing
money, but kept promising that things
would work out all right in the end. This
became tiresome because Hope kept de-
laying things ell along the line. | acted
as his attorney on several matters of bus
mess and so far as | know everything
he did in Boston was square enough.
when the first reports of Hope were
published in the BostO0 papers / asked
him about them. He said that he could
explain matters to me satisfactorily
enough and would do so. The second day
several reporters called on me in regard
to some dispatches which came from Salt
Lake. I called Hope and had him read
them. We were staying at that time at
the United States hotel. He read the
dispatches but the matter did not seem to
bother him. He said everything was all
right and that adjustment would be
made in the near future.
Il knew nothing Of local conditions I'M
til / received kilograms from the officers
of the ShOshOne Power company by whom
| had been sent to Boston to attend TO
business matters. When these kilograms
reached me. | vent on about my business

whom Hope proposed to interest in his
companies / did not go there especially
to act as Hopes attorney but he retained
my services ON one or two occasions.

How Japs
Keep Strong
DEMOCRAT sEADERs CAN LEARN SOME

DEMOCRAT READERS CAN LEARN SOME
THING OF VALUE FROM THIS.
Such thing as a weakling is hardly
known in Japan. The wonderful endur-
ance of the Japanese soldiers and sailors
in the recent war has been the marvel of
all nations. Both men and women are
we'll, happy and strong.
The reason for this, so careful investi-
gators tell us, is that the Japanese from
childhood up know how to keep well
through care of the digestive system. If
they have trouble with Indigestion, heart
burn, wind ON the stomach, loss of appe-
tite, sIeeplessness, headaches, rheumatic
pains, back-aches, or any of the other
troubles caused by a weak stomach, they
treat themselves with some of the prin-
cipal remedies that compose Mi-o-na, a
stomach remedy that has already large
sale in Paris at F. A. Shurtleff & Co.
So uniformly successful has the rem
edy been in curing all stomach troubles
where it is used in accordance with the
simple directions given with each box,
that F. A. Shurtleff & Co. give signed
guarantee with every so cent package to
refund the money If Mi-o-na fails to
benefit.
They take all the risk. If you have
any stomach weakness, are nervous or
fear that some articles of food will cause
trouble and indigestion, here's the op-
portunity to get we'll without risking a
cent. Those who use Mi-o-na are able
to eat anything digestible without fear
of i'll results.

The fact was mentioned several times
during the last year or two that Willard
Herrick's health was failing, and when
winter set in it was thought very doubt
ful if he lived to see the return of
spring. Later on he rallied somewhat
SO that his son, Ralph, with whom he
was living, went to work in Willis saw
mill after employing Henry Morgan to
do the chores and remain with his
parents during the night.
Thus he continued until Tuesday
morning, when, after eating his break
fast and doing few light chores he re-
tired to an adjoining room to rest on the
lounge a while according to long
established habit. An hour or two later
his wife went into the room and found
him lying in a natural position. but see
ing no motion she soon learned that his
spirit had fed while entirely alone.
More than once he had expressed a de-
sire on going to sleep, that he might
never awake again in this life; and to
all appearance that wish was finally
gratified.
The funeral occurred Thursday fore
noon at the house conducted by under
taker Frank Andrews of South Wood
stock. Divine services by Rev. Seth
Benson of North Paris, who spoke
words of comfort appropriate to the
occasion. Singing by Edgar Morgan,
Sylvester Cole aud his two daughters.
Willard Herrick lived married life of
more than fifty years, the union being
blessed with two sons and two daugh-
ters, all married except the youngest
son, who has always lived at home with
his parents. The angel of death had
never entered the family until on the
present occasion. Mr.. Herrick had been
somewhat prominent person in town,
having served several years as one of the
selectmen, beside holding other office;
and although never a communicate, he
was good citizen, kind husband and
loving father.
The same forenoon on which Mr..
Herrick died girl baby was born to Mr..
and Mrs. Randall Herrick, distant rela.
tives of the former, and living hardly
more than a stones throw from each
other, thus forming a somewhat singular
coincidence.
On a section of road not more than
three miles in length, leading over
Patch Mountain, no less than eight men
have died in less than decade of years,
all of whose widows are still living, and
several of them on the places whore
their husbands died. None of them
have married again so far as known.

The Republican State Convention.

In this paper is published the call for
the Republican state convention, which
will be held in Portland June 9th.
While this is what is known as the 'off
year" politically, the situation is such
that this years convention will be Of
more than the usual interest and impor-
tance. For quite term of years the
state conventions, although character
lied by a good degree of enthusiasm,
were also characterized by what might
be termed a mechanical unanimity"
which gave them something of the
appearance of being cut-and-dried. The
convention of 1904, with contest for
the nomination. made a break in this
condition of things. 1t is altogether
probable that Governor Cobb will be
renominated without opposition this
year, but the fact that so much of the
action of the convention may be fairly
forecasted is no reason why the conven-
tion may not be, in appearance and in
fact, genuine council of representa-
tives of the party from all sections of the
state. In the caucuses soon to be held,
care should be taken not only to choose
delegates who will be sure to attend the
convention, but also the best and strong
est men of the party.

The California Disaster.

II is now possible to express in figures
something of the extent of the ruin
wrought by earthquake and fire in San
Francisco. The authorities differ wide
ly as yet regarding the number of lives
lost, some placing it as low as three
hundred, while others make it at least a
thousand. Probably something near the
exact number will eventually be known.
The burned district is about fifteen
square miles, comprising the most valu-
able part of the city. The property loss
is not less than $500, ,000, 900 and 800, 900
people are homeless.
These are only estimates, and what
they mean is about as difficult for the
ordinary mind to grasp as the meaning
of the sign of infnity, but they at least
show that in destruction of wealth this
country has never had any disaster to
compare with this.
Then, too. a number of other towns
were wrecked, making outside of San
Francisco loss which would be stag
gering were it not overshadowed by the
greater disaster.
The one brightest ray of cheer in con-
nection with the calamity is the fact
that within less than week after the
earthquake more than twenty million
dollars of public and private funds had
been appropriated and subscribed for
the relief of the stricken people, and
that from all parts of the country relief
trains were hurrying toward San Fran
cisco, carrying what those people most
needed. 1t is most impressive mani
festation OF the fraternal spirit of the
American people.
1t is also gratifying, though in no
sense surprising, to learn that prepara-
tions for rebuilding are going on with
characteristic American "hustle," and
that a new city, perhaps built with more
reference to the possibility of earth
quakes, but certainly better and more
beautiful than the old. will rise from the
ruins.
