THEY WANT MILES.
Prohibition Party Anxious for Miles
to Declare Himself.


Chicago. June 2.-oliver w. Stewart,
chairman of the national prohibition
committee, said yesterday:
General Miles would without
doubt be nominated by the prohibition
lists at Indianapolis June 20. II he were
known to be identified with the pro-
hibition party. His record In OPPOSE.
ton to the army canteen is one OF
which prohibitionists are proud. They
confess TO a great admiration for him.
II he were to state publicly that in
the coming campaign, as patriohc
citizen, he would affiliate with the
prohibition party and support its tick
ct. my judgment is that there woui3
be no other name proposed In the ma
tional convention. However, General
Miles has made no public staten1en.
to the effect that he intends to CO.
operate with the prohibition party.
He has suggested that we postpone
our national convention until after the
democratic gathering at st. Louis, on
the ground that possibly the demo-
Gratis may take such action AS Viii
make a nomination by the prohibluon-
unnecessary This is wholly unsatis-
ia Glory to the rank and file OF the pro-
hibition party. We are confldent the
democrats will make no such move,
and propose to go ahead with cur
Econvention and make our nomination.
Since General Miles is not with us
to the extent at least of being wllilnS
to make an open public statement 10
that effect, it has become the settled
conviction of most thoughtful PROMPT
+;op3sts that we must look elsewhere
for our candidate. The prospect IS
that the convention at Indianapolis will
be more largely attended than any
gathering that has ever been heio Wy
the prohibition party.

| Sioux City. June 1.-THE woman
who bought dry goods yesterday got
| no trading stamps.
The little stickers are actually q
thing of the past as far as Sioux City
| Is concerned.
G.. D. O'Kieffe, manager of the
American Trading Stamp Company's
store at 412 Douglas street, ANNOUNCE
ed yesterday that the store would be
open during the balance of the week
for the benefit of those who may have
books to redeem. He will go from
Sioux City to Chicago and probably
from there to st. Louis.
Charles H. Mullan, manager for the
Union Trading Stamp Company. whose
establishment is at 41b Nebraska
street, stated that he would keen the
doors open until Saturday night, and
that persons holding Union stamps
could redeem them until that time
The war now is actually at an end.
Trading stamp men declare there has
been more excitement over trading
stamps in Sioux City than in any 9TH
er city in which they have been intro
duced.
Think of nearly $4,000 books If
stamps having been redeemed since
January i, 1904.
Each book of 500 or $500 worth Of
stamps is supposed to represent pur-
chases in the same amount. Thus a.
900 books would represent purchases to
the amount of s1.4o0,000.
1t is a fact, however, that many of
the stores We're giving three for one"
'.fi1ve for one" and even ten for one,
the bidding for trade having got high
during the contest.
The biggest day at the store OF the
American Trading Stamp Company
was the day following the announce
ment of the small retailers that they
would discontinue stamps. On that day
500 books were redeemed. On May 81.
Just passed. $50 books were redeemed,
making it the second largest day.
The clerks in the stamp stores yes
terday were catching their breath after
1.-The tim eof their lives on the proceed
ing day, which was the last day ON
which T. S. Martin & Co. and the Pei
letter Dry Goods Company gave out
stamps The scenes presented in the
stamp stores on the last day of May
were nothing short of remarkable.
1t was necessary for the holder Of
book to fill the book before presenting
it, The stamp companies had found it
to accept fractions OF books.
1t would have taken q smarter man
than Philadelphia lawyer to figure out
what premium should be given for half
a book and what premiums should be
given for three quarters OF a book. SO
it was absolutely required that the
books be filled with 500 worth of
stamps.
Some women made it a point on the
last day to buy enough dry goods 10
fill out their books and others hunted
around for some other woman who
would sell enough stamps to permit her
to fill out the book.
