STEWART BROS. & co.
A Brilliant Store Managed by
Brilliant People.

People OF this valley who are clan
nish will always visit when in Chatta-
nooga the store OF Stewart Bros. & Co.,
S21 Market Street, corner of the Arcade,
an alley running through to Broad st.
This firm with headquarters formerly
in Whitwell, Is now one of Chattanoo-
gas leading firms, built up by extensive
and judicious advertising. No Chatta-
nooga clothing house has used the
country newspaper as an advertising
medium 80 extensively as they have,
and that added to their extensive city
advertising has built them up wond-
erful business.
Their store is attractively located in
the heart of the city, and their stock is
on three floors, connected by elevator.
The street floor is devoted TO shoes,
hats and mons furnishings, the second
floor to clothing, and the third with re-
serve stock, serves as sort of gauge re-
cording the condition OF the stock be-
| low.
The lighting of the store with both
gas and electric light, is distinctive
feature, and their store when lighted
up is veritably blaze of glory. Elec
trio lights are also placed under the toI
edge of the show cases, and refiectin ng
downward display beautifully the ar
ticles contained therein.
With Stewart brothers is associated
E. G. fl. Pryor, also formerly of Whit
we'll Sam Pryor, his son, and c. S
Smith, formerly in business in Whit
we'll, are also with them.

Sale Continues.

The big removal sale inaugurated by
Rachofsky & Son OF Black Hawk about
two weeks ago is still icing patronized
by many who are taking advantage Of
the unprecedented bargains being Of
fered. The prices asked for their goods
are ridiculously low, as the firm had no
regard for profit when making the re
ductions. They must leave Black Hawk,
having selected location elsewhere and
rather than pay freight on their large
stock they are willing to close out every.
thing at q big sacrifice.

A WONDERFUL INVENTION

1t is interesting to note that fortunes
are frequently made by the invention Of
articles Of minor importance. Many Of
the most popular devices are those de-
signed to benefit the people and meet
popular conditions, and one OF the most
interesting Of these that has ever been
invented is the Dr. White Electric Comb
patented Jan. l. 90. These wonderful
Combs positively cure dandruff, hair
falling out, sick and nervous headaches,
and when used with DR.. Whites Elec-
trio Hair Brush are positively guaran-
teed to make straight hair curly in Is
days time. Thousands Of these electric
combs have been sold in various cities Of
the Union, and the demand 10 conse-
quently increasing. Our agents are rap
idly becoming rich selling these combs.
They positively sell on sight. Send for
sample. Mems size 35c., ladies 5Oc.-

From the nature of inquiries received
from business men in the east at the
Denver headquarters of the Colorado
Promotion and publicity committee. it is
evident that there is large amount OF
eastern capital awaiting investment in
Colorado, as soon as election is over.
Many requests for literature and gen.
eral information have been received by
the committee from moneyed men in
New York, Boston, Philadelphia and
other large eastern cities, during the

A scheme OF the Republicans which
was disclosed some time ago is being
rapidly noised about. 1t was through
the efforts of the Republicans that Hall
after much persuasion was finally pre-
vailed upon to run independently for
clerk and recorder, they thinking he
would draw sufficient votes from the
Democratic nominee to elect their can
didate. Hall for his traitorous act is
to receive the appointment of deputy in
case of Warren's election. The ar
rapgement at first had been made with
Allen when it was all cut and dried that
he should receive the Republican nom
ination, but he being turned down the
proposition was broached to Warren and
met with his approval. OF course this
scheme was concocted in privacy anc
those who were let in on the dea
pledged secrecy, but a place the size o.
Central is too small to attempt an,
crooked work like that without the peo

I lTom Cody is as sure to succeed him
self to the Office of sheriff as his op-
ponent is of going down to ignominious
defeat. There isn't more capable, ef-
ficient or fearless officer in Colorado
than Sheriff Cody, and while his posi-
ton carries with it more honor and
authority than does any other OF the
county offices, it hasn't been the means
OF causing his Uranium to expand par
ticle. He is as democratic and common
place as servant of the people should
be, and as honest and trustworthy in
the performance of his duty as a public
official could be. A vote for Thomas
Cody is vote for man who has done
and will do his work in a manner de-
serving OF credit and admiration to him
self, party and the residents of Gilpir
county.

Peabody's defeat is now conceded as a
certainty. Republican candidates run
ming for state and county Offices have re
nounced him, realizing that they would
jeopar dize their own chances OF election
were they to continue TO support q man
whose administration is growing strong
or in disfavor every day as the campaign
draws to close. A state Official who is
also candidate for re election, stated
this week that he believed Peabody
would run from 10000 to 5000 votes be-
hind the ticket and thought it time that
other Republican candidates follow the
cad Of the campaign orators and leave
the governor to take care OF himself.

Never before in the history OF cam.
paign have the Democrats been as thor
oughly organized as they are this year.
They are conducting their battle in a
clean, conservative and effective manner.
Harmony has been the chief feature OF
all their caucuses and conventions, and
no desire is imminent on the part of any
member of the party to knife the splen
did ticket which is bound to be victor
ious in the November election.

H. q. Hall, the self.appointed nom-
inee for clerk and recorder is becoming
very discouraged at the little interest
he is able to arouse over his candidacy.
He finds it more difficult to induce the
people to pledge him their votes than it
was to procure signers to his petition
of independent nomination. He was
figuring on getting many Of the Demo.
Gratis to vote for him instead OF Altvater,
but they think too much Of their vote
to cast it for man who stands about as
much show being elected to the position
to which he aspires. as Peabody does OF
being our next governor.

The Republicans who went off half
cooked in their convention and nomin.
ated Peter Petersen Of Gilpin for county
treasurer are beginning to realize the
weakness of the candidate and held sev-
eral meetings the past week in an en-.
deavor to induce him to withdraw. They
made all kinds of concessions to Peter
sen but to no avail. He was determined
to remain on the ticket and despite the
persistent efforts Of the bosses he
wouldn't be moved. Petersen argues
senslbly that while he will not
make as good run as his opponent or
the Democratic ticket, he is as strong q
candidate as is on the Republican ticket
and doesn't see why they should want
him to decline any more than they
would someone else He thinks it is q
scheme OF the anti Newell faction who
opposed his nomination in the conven.
ton, to get him off the ticket and put
on one Of their men. Anyway Petersen
is still the rightful nominee for treas.
urer and proposes to be until he goes
down with the remainder OF his ticket
on November 9th.
Gilpin observer., 1904-10-20

The local Republicans are showing
very little activity it the county cam
paign. Outside of one or two OF their
candidates. and not more than two at
the nost--they have abandoned all
hope of electing their ticket. Informa-
tion is received from an authentic source
to the effect that the differences existing
between the two factions of the party
cannot possibly be adjusted. Hence
the lack OF interest.

Stopping a Wild Turkey Fight.

Stopping Wild Turkey Fight.
There are turkey stories as well as
fish stories, if any one should ask
you, and N. P. Bullock (Dock) tells
the following, and vows that it is
true:
A few days ago he was not far from
Doehead. near the old racetrack back
Of the Sessum field, when he saw
ahead of him two wild turkey COB
blers fighting. Mr.. Bullock stepped
out into the. bushes, and crept along
till he was opposite the fighting
fowls. So intent were they in their
contest that he was not heard. With
a stealthy step he advanced till he
was almost upon them. and then he
made spring and caught the two by
the neck, one in each hand.
Then ensued q battle between man
and birds. With wings and feet the
latter fought, scratching Mr.. Bullock's
arms and tearing his clothing. With
much difficulty one bird was carried
to the ground. where its head was
crushed by the mans foot, while the
other maintained its desperate
scratching with feet and striking with
wing. The first one disposed of. the
other soon fell an easy victim.
Mr.. Bullock says that he had no
idea how strong a turkey was before.
The two turkeys were grown gobblers.
with boards nearly three inches long.

Girl choked Mink to Death.

Miss Ada Newberry, who lives with
her parents about two miles from this
place, deserves credit for an act of
bravery on her part. Wednesday
morning about 2 o'clock she was
awakened by the noise of a number of
chickens in the coop out In the poul.

Rising quickly and going without &
light to the place whence the noise
came, to her surprise she found a
large mink devcuring the chickens.
Regardless of danger. she thrust hei

the intruder by the neck, and in spite
Of his determination to scratch and

1t being evident from the actions Of
the Republicans in trying to induce two
of their candidates to withdraw that
they are ashamed OF their ticket, the
thing for them to do would be to apollo.
gize to the constituency and promise to
do better next time. There is no need
of them making an aggressive campaign
as it is apparent that they feel them
