Better Than Pills.

The question has been asked, "In
what way are Chamberlain's Stomach
& Liver Tablets superior to pills?"
Our answer is: They are easier and
mos pleasant to take, more mild and
gentle in effect and more reliable as
they can always be depended upon.
Then they cleanse and invigorate the
stomach and leave the bowels in g
natural condition, while pills are
more harsh in effect and their use is
often followed by constipation. For

Primary Elections.

Daniel Webster said in his day and
generation: 1t is time to do away
with caucuses. They make great men
little and little men great. The true
source Of power is the people,. Per.
haps we have made some advance
ment in our political methods since
then, but it is still far cry into the
future to the political millennium.
The State of NJ nnesota proceeding
upon the theory cf Webster that 1.-The
true source Of power is the people,
has taken q decided step in this direc-
ton, the effects of which other com
monwealths may do we'll to thorough
IL consider. TIE Minnesota plan en-
braces two ideas combined in one
procedure called "primary election.
Idea No. l is that the people shall do
their own nominating instead of del
egating that power to conventions.
Idea No. 2 is that they shall do their
nominating almost exactly as they do
their electing, with all the convent
ences and safeguards now found on
the general election day and with all
parties doing the work at the same
time and in the same place. We
have this idea we'll developed in our
primary system in South Carolina as
to the Democratic party.
In carrying out the second idea
ballot is provided for each party, and
as the voter comes to the rail he must
name which party ballot he wants.
IF required he must take oath thatin
general he supported the ticket of
that party at the last election and
means to support it at the coming
election. 4 convert, then, must sb-
stain from caucuses for a year, sort
Of political penance OF season Of
prayerful meditation that any neo-
phyte ought to expect. The more
practical phase of it is that this les-
sens the chsuca Of packing the pri-
mary with voters of another party.
This plan Of primary elections is
no longer an experiment, but has
proved entirely satisfactory in practi-
cal operation. Speaking of it a writer
in the National Magazine says: The
Minnesota plan lets any man be
candidate who will pay small fee fer
having his name put on the ballot
Parlor caucuses cannot dictate nomi
nations. The machine candidate
stands no better chance than any
other candidate. No aspirant need
put himself under obligations to ring
or boss or corporation before he will
have ghost OF e show. Nominees
will 60 to the polls unhampered by
promises. Those elected will fill their
their Office with obligations only to
the electors, the people, Political
debts will no longer clog and hamper
and embarrass.'
Mao;festly in a Republican form
of government the political methods
which give the people the largest
opportunity to express their will and
have it carried into effect is most in
harmony with the spirit Of Cur in
stitutions. Frequently under the
caucus system which prevails in other
States, it is not the will of the people,
but the will Of faction or individual,
ring or boss which is registered
in the nomination of candidates for
Office. The Minnesota plan is worthy

TRYING 10 GET TICKETS TO BUFFALO BILLS WILD WEST

The recent introduction Of mechanical
and other industrial lessons in the pub
lie schools shows that practical demon
stration is much better than theory or
oral teaching. So it is with the Wild
West show, that is now moving west
ward on it's way to the Pacific coast. Had
not this remarkable exhibition been at
tempted, the present generation would
have lost an object lesson of the greatest
value. We would not have, as now, q
realistic impression of the scenes and in
cidents of western life as it existed in
the middle Of the nineteenth century.
The Wild West shows the haf-tamed
bare backed ponies Of the savage Indian,
the bucking, bronchos Of the mounted cat
tie herders, the emigrant train, settlers
hut and the perils Of stage coach travel
ing over the plains when the driver,
guard and passengers were armed to the
teeth against rowing bands Of red men.
The Custer massacre, Buffalo Bills duel
with Chief Yellowhand and many. other
striking scenes have been SO vtv1dly re-
produced that the spectator learns more
in ten minutes with his eyes than could
be gained by reading the descriptions for
months. 1t is this educational force and
character that is the secret of the Wild
Vests phenomenal success, for it has q
value peculiarly and essentially its own.
No one who has visited the Wild West
left it without a broader sense of the
heroism. Of the pioneers, their trials and
perils. He may have gone for amuse-
ment, but found himself educated in the
history of his country by acquiring

1t is we'll known that terrible rheuma-

The steerer says. to the sucker: Let
get out Of here. It's getting pretty warm
and don't want to be arrested So they
are allowed to 60. The sucker still thinks
he owes money to the steerer, who he
yet believes to be his friend. He really
believes that Edwards is a loser as well
as himself and has no idea where the
silent man has gone. If he visits police
Headquarters he is told that he is liable
to arrest for gambling The upshot of it
is that he Is put on the train, by the
steerer who lends ssr him s5 or $40 more for
expenses. Then the "mitt'' men reas-
semple to divide the spoils and get ready
for the next victim -
The beauty Of the ''big mitt' game is
that 1t prompts the sucker to bite through
his eagerness to take advant age of the

a guilty feeling that he has been impH-
Gated in some sort Of plot to rob poor
Edwards, and 1t sends him out of town
still grateful to the steerer. Once out of
town he can't squeal.
One of the agreements between the
'mitt" men and the police was that the
former should work trancients only. There
are scores of men now floating around the
northwest who are still hard up because
they lost their money in some Minneapo-
lis Joint, and who have suspected that
there was something queer about the
game. Recent revelations will serve to
settle their minds on the subject.
