The Drivers Story.

er had an accident-that is new

Pete!"--to the right leader,
with a crack of the whip by wny
of emphasis-''git up there, and
don't go pokin' along like that,
settin' "a BAD example TO the
rest"
"Pete" acknowledged the re-
buke by pricking up his ears
and setting off at a pace, joined
in by his fellows, several de-
grees brisker than before.

eidcnt once?" l said, rcsuming
the dialogue which Pete's de-
linquency had interrupted.
"Well, it amt hardly lair to
call it an accident, either" re-
turned the driver, fiicking fly
from the off wheeler's rump
without disturbing q hair; "but
I'll tell you the story, if yon d
like TO hear it."

give me more pleasure.

STEPHEN W. DowNEY
A lust Tribute 10 an Able Man.


From the Laramie City Sentinel we
clip the following well earned tribute
to the ability and moral worth of Ste
phen w. Downey, republican candi-
date for delegate in congress from this
territory: Hss
Albany county has moro reason 10
feel proud OF the nomination of Colo
mel Downey than any other portion of
the territory, although the entire terri
tory has been honored and will be most
ably represented by the colonel's pres
ence in the halls of congress. But Al
bany county owes him a debt which it
cannot more easily pay than by giving
him such an expression next November
as to make the colonel feel that his la
bors in and for our county during the
past eight years have been and are ap-
preciated. Industrious, public spirited,
generous and in~defatigable, he has zeal
ously labored for years among MS for the
advancement Of the interests of this
county, spending his money for the pub
lie good, and never leaving a stone un-
turned which his intellect, purse, or in
domitable will could turn to the advan-
tage of the community in which he
lives. His courteous demeanor and
quiet, gentlemanly character have won
for him friends wherever known, and
We feel confident that the good people
of Albany will not let the opportunity
now afforded pass without manifesting
their appreciation Of sterling worth by
giving this gallant standard bearer the
largest majority ever polled for any man
in the county.

raAr uNANIMous" NOMINATION.

l tmay be as well for us ut the outset
of the present campaign to correct an
erroneous impression which is abroad
concerning the Unanimous, nominal
tion of Beautiful Pease, at Rawlins, as
the standard bearer of the democracy.
1t has been gravely stated that
Pease was the Unanimous" choice of
the convention; that the nomination
was thrust upon him; that he had no
opposition, and that, to use the lam
guage of his telegram of acceptance,
'.it was rendered with such unanimity''
that he couldn't be so cruel rs to de-
cline the Compliment
Let us see how Unanimous the
convention was upon this matter:
The official proceedings of that body
show that Hon. VIM. r. Steele, of
Cheyenne, was almost the unanimous
choice of the convention; he was tele-
graphed to and urged to become the
candidate of the party; he replied,
saying that under no circumstances
would he accept the nomination. The
convention was then sat sea-" and
began casting about for a second choice
candidate. Peter HANNA, of Chey-
enne. was suggested amid applause; N.
l.. Andrews was also proposed, and a
party by the name of Hooker made a
spread eagle speech in behalf of Beauti-
full Pease.
An informal ballot was ordered, re-
sulting as follows.
tease .............l
anurews. 4
Those who really desired Pease's
nomination saw at a glance that a for
NAL ballot would result in the selection
of HANNA, it being evident that the
four Andrews men preferred him to
Pease, and that at least four out of the
fourteen votes cast on the informal
ballot for Pease were simply compli-
mentary.
So the Pease men rushed things
through on the high pressure system
by choking off the usual formal ballot.
Charley Bramel sprang to his feet
and moved that Beautiful Pease be
declared the Unanimous" nominee.
The vote was taken and the chair
promptly announced that the motion
prevailed, although, as a gentleman
who was present informs us, the vote
vas SO close as to cause serious doubts
whether or not Bramel's ruse was a
success.
Beautiful Pease's Unanimous nom
ination thus dwindles to a myth.

however, and will run if half the voters

lMPOR To SMOKERS
Poison Extracted From To-
bacco.
Let Ever User Of che weed" ae.d This.


J. w. Shaeffer q Co., ~tobacconists,
1913 Sacramento street, San Francisco,
have the following of vital Importance
to say:
At a large expense we have purchase
ed from Professor Hartwig, formerly
Of Guys hospital i'll London, the Sc
cret OF practically extracting the great
est part of the nicotin from tobacco,
thereby preventing the pernicious eff
fects arising from the constant use of
the weed. Our new cigar, ssBon Ton,''
is made from Havana tobacco, from
which we have extracted nearly all the
poisonous principle, but left the resin
GUS matter, which imparts to the cigar
"a line aromatic flavor. Every smoker,
at times, has said, upon being offered a
cigar mo, | have smoked enougbl''
Under such conditions he instinctively
feels that he is under the influence Of
the nicotin, which his system has alb
sorbed, and is exerting its deleterious
effects by disturbing the functions of
his brain. No such truly alarming
consequences will result from smoking
our "Bon Toni cigar, because the dam
gerous poison of the nicotin is gone,
n its exquisite qualities alone remain
" Blatily Vic bclSco VI SHELL anu taSLe.
1t will be astonishing to consumers,
that the smoking of our "Bon Ton"
cigars causes 40 desire to expectorate,
produces no dryness of the palate, no
throbbing Of the temples, and does not
destroy the appetite for food. If smok-
ing is INDUCED in at all, why not smoke
a bon Tom instead of unknown
brands, which may contain the worst
of goods, and hurtful to the system,
upon which nicotin makes truly fearful,
If the lungs are not powerful enough to
throw off the nOxious poisonp
The tobacco trade carried on in San
Francisco forms one of its most active
and prominent interests, and, for q
matter which may fairly be considered
one of luxury rather than of necessity,
1t covers an astonishing extent of COM
mercial area, and finds patronage in a
large proportion of every class in San
Francisco society: The leading tobac-
conis is to-day in the city of the Golden
