The cut, small as 1t is, conveys a
good idea of the size Of the building,
Its length and the number of stories.
The higher portion at the left, is now
in process of completion. When 1t Is
occupied, which will be,soon, the main
aisle through the store will be 400 feet
in length and twenty feet wide, and
the entire floor space will be seven
and one-third acres. Just imagine 1t,
or better, visit and see it, Over seven
acres devoted to the sale of valuable
goods OF almost unnumbered kinds,
where nearly 1000 clerks and other
employees are busy every working day
in the year. They and their families
alone would constitute a very respec-
table small city.
During the recent holiday season,
just before Christmas, one of the Den
yer dailies published cut from a pho
tograph, showing the 1.2S6 employees
then at work massed in group in
front of the store. 1t attracted much
attention. But 1t would be even more
interesting If a cut could be made OF
the hundreds of thousand dollars
worth of goods that were sold over the
counters and sent out to mail order
customers during the holiday period. 1t
would be hard to estimate the number
of people who visited the store in the
three weeks preceding Christmas,
and the facilities Of the splendidly
equipped mail order department were
taxed to the limit.
The display windows alone were
worth going far to see. The entire
length of high plate glass front is $50
feet, and the building has 256 plate
glass windows.

HUNDRED BUILD CHURCH.
Revival Forces, ousted From Audito

Revival Forces, ousted From Audito-
rum, Erect Tabernacle for Services.
Because Charles Gottschalk refuses
to extend the lease of the auditorium
for revival meetings at Aberdeen,
while Evangelist r. E. Johnson is re-
tanned, more than 100 citizens are at
work building a tabernacle.
Gottschalk was offered $3.50 for a
weeks rental Of his auditorium if he
would withdraw his conditions as to
the evangelist, this price being twice
the rental he was getting per week
for the month the auditorium has
been under the least for the services.
He refused to withdraw his conditions
for any price.
The committee which visited him
returned to the auditorium, reported
it and the situation was explained
to the large audience gathered. A
suggestion was made to erect taber-
nacle and the audience cheered.
Within twenty minutes more than
100 men had volunteered to do the
work on the building and over $1,000
was subscribed, most of it being paid
in at once. A committee stayed up
all night arranging for lumber and
getting it loaded onto wagons.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON.
In Torments with Terrible Sores On
Face and Body-Tore at Flesh
Cured by cuticura.

my little son, when about q year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. They began to
come on his arms, then on other parts
Of his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end of about a year and half of suf-
fering he grew so bad had to tie his
hands In cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be mere skele-
ton and was hardly able to walk. I
sent to the drug store and got a cake
Of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura
Ointment, and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since, and only for the Cuticura Rem
edies my precious child would have
died from these terrible sores. I used
only one cake of Soap and about three
boxes Of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Shell

ANY ONE MAY ASK VOTE.
Attorney General Gives Opinion on
way to Adopt Primary Law.

way " S0OPt TTIuasy law
Answering an inquiry as to how to
proceed to adopt the primary in cities.
Attorney General S. w. Clark says:
"The only provision in the new pri-
mary election law that bears upon the
question you ask is contained In sec
ton 4 This section reads as follows:
"This act shall not apply to munic-
ipal, township and school district OF.
f1cers, but may be adopted by either
by majority vote upon such PROPOSE
ton at any election held therein
From this you will see that the
question of adopting the primary law
for municipalities may be voted upon
at any election in such municipality.
There is no provision as to who sub.
mits the question, nor what notice
must be given, but it would seem that
the question may be proposed by any
one having an interest in the matter
and probably the same length of no
tice would suffice as is given to the
election of officers. AS have said,
there is no express provision on this
subject and no particular formality
would be required. 1t is evident that
if fair expression OF the people is
had and majority are shown to favor
the primary law for municipal pur-
poses there could be no question
raised as to the formalities unless
there was such steps taken as would
prevent fair expression of opinion
upon this subject in the VOTE"

INDIANS GIVE WAR DANCE.
Big Spectacle Closes Session o
South Dakota Stockmen.

South Dakota Stockmen.
The fourteenth annual meeting Of
the Stock Growers Association Of
Western South Dakota ended at Rapid
City with an Indian war dance, with
prize for the best costume. More
than 800 Indians participated, from
various agencies. They were pictur-
esque in paint and feathers, and there
we're among them old and wrinkled
warriors and squaws who could per-
haps tell story Of the wiping out of
Custer on the Little Big Horn. The
wierd song that they sang might have
been the one sung by the red men at
ter that fatal battle with the white
chief with the yellow hair.
The meeting has been altogether
the most successful in the history OF
the association. All, or nearly all, of
the old officers were reelected, and
resolutions we're adopted indorsing
Theodore Roosevelt for reelection to
the presidency in 1908.
