blscked the sidewalk on the Second
avenue side Of the Babcock theater,
from the street to the alley, n rub
bered" at the directoire gown on a
living model displayed in the show
window of r. Hayhurst's store.
There. were no sly glances-nothing
like that. It was simply a satiation
of eyeryone's desire to see and see It
\ III. Perhaps the center Of interest
was the side Of the gown which has
become famous for the much talked
Of slit to the knee.
The male portion Of those on curl
osity bent, which was by all odds the
largest portion, made dozens of trips
around the block in which the store
Is located, stopping each time in front
of the window where the model was
walking back and forth and watching
the show until self consciousness
warned them that perhaps the long
stay was attracting as much attention
as was the gown and the model. The
traffic by the window resulting from
this would lead one to believe that
fully $4,000 persons witnessed the
exhibition instead Of 1000 or 1900 in
dividuals who wanted to confirm per
sonally what they had read in the
papers Of the garment.
One short man, on the outskirts OF
the crowd, sighed, ooh, for the neck
Of a giraffe" from which It may be
gathered that he could not sea I'VE
the heads Of the tall men who ap-
propriated positions as close to the
window as they could get without
breaking the glass.
II some enterprising young nan had
cornered a bunch Of stepladders and
field glasses, and offered them for
rent, he certainly would have cleaned
up the crowd down to the last red.
Another good bet was overlooked by
someone will ing to build a grandstan
on the roof Of the house acros the
street with the loan OF opera glas-
SEES thrown in with the price OF
admission.
Bald heads and susceptible young
men did not make any effort to con.
ceal their admiration of gown and
model particularly the model and
although the aged spinster viewed
the show with apparent horror, yet
with eyes glued to the window she
maintained her position in spite OF
the crush which at times threatened
to dislodge her.
Grandpa elbowed his way through
the crowd, using his cane to protect
his game foot, and allowed that no
bunch Of youngsters could keep him
from seeing the show.
The merry widow with her space
annihilating skypiece cast n hurried
look at the show and %"skidooed.
"a frousy-haired hobo cast his op-
tics on the girl and gown. remarking,

Frank ]. Connolly having urged him
to run and Nj. Connolly having al
most given his consent for the s OF
his name.
Harry L. Wilson, the present county
attorney, and William Gallagher, q
well known lawyer, are spoken OF as
candidates for county attorney. Mr..
| Wilson has announced himself as a
candidate, but Mr.. Gallagher has not
yet committed himself.
Judge Goss and Fred Hathhorn are
the most prominent Republicans spok-
en- of in connection with the district
3udgeship. Mr.. Hathhorn, however,
has intimated to his friends that he
is a candidate for no office.
Ira L. Whitney and A. +. Smith
seem to be the only candidates in the
field for treasurer and assessor. Mr..
Whitney is the present county clerk
and has an excellent record. MI.
Smith has proved himself a good coun-
ty assessor.
Coroner G. Herman Smith is being
opposed for denomination by DR.. Ger
hart, one Of the popular young physi-
clans of the city.
J. Bruce Renwick, deputy county
clerk, and Henry Miller, deputy coun-
ty treasurer, are the only candidates
for the nomination for clerk and re.
corder.
Mrs. Ella McCray and Mrs. Sara q.
Morse, well known teachers, are still
the only two mentioned as possible
candidates for superintendent OF
| schools
The dearth of candidates in one or
two positions, however, is made up
for by the number aspiring to be sur
veyor and sheriff.
Five prominent citizens are willing
to make the race for sheriff G. w,
Forester, formerly in the jewelry bust
ness here; Thad G. Pound, q Of the
old-timers Of the county, now a resi-.
dent Of Park City; ]. G. Orrick, for
merly deputy sheriff at Custer; John
Staffek a well known cigar merchant
and city alderman, and Frank Church
a prominent business man.
There is considerable rivalry among
the surveyors for the nomination for
county surveyor, E. G. Sampson OF
Huntley, E. W. Cotton, deputy county
surveyor, William Dallas and B. q,
Lillis being the announced candidates
Considerable interest is expressed
in the possible personnel of the dele
cation to the state convention in
Butte. Interest seems to be more
in the possible nominations for state
railroad commissioners, than in other
state offices. There seems to be a
strong sentiment among the local Re
publicans, who are interested in the
jobbing business, that the personnel
of the commission should be changed
so that all sections Of the state would
have representation. Local Republl,
cans, who have discussed the subject
seem to think that some eastern Mon
tanan should be nominated for one
commissioner, and while VIM. Lind
say has stated that he does not want
any political otnce, there are some
who think he would be an excellent
candidate for the six-year term as
railroad commissioner.
About the only other eastern Mon
tanans suggested are John E. Ed
wards, of Forsyth, who Is mentioned
for lieutenant governor and 3. E
Esselstyn, who has been suggested as
fitting timber for secretary of state
Both of them, however. have declared
that positively they will not be can
didates or accept any nomination.

I'm this age of doubt many of our
most cherished legends are being
assaulted, the various apple sto.
ries along with the rest. There
have been at least three famous apples
in history-tbe one eaten by Adam and
Eve, the one shot of his sons head by
William Tell and the one whose fall
suggested to Sir Isaac Newton the law
of gravitation. Despite the scoffing of
the higher criticism, we still cherish
these pippins and are determined to
stand by them.
Newton was rather q dun boy and
was literally kicked into exertion. He
stood at the foot of his class and one
day was booted by the boy higher up.
The Newtonian spirit was aroused by
this indignity, with the result that
young Isaac not only whipped the
kicker, but determined to go ahead of
him in the class. This he did, and
more, for he went to the head of the
row and stayed there.
The second spur to effort received by
the young man came at the time he
sought admission to Cambridge univer-
sity. He knew so little about Euclid
that the professor of mathematics op-
posed admitting him. Newton there
upon determined to know Euclid and
succeeded so we'll that he became the
greatest mathematical genius Of mod
ern times.
Yoltaire started the story of the ap-
pie that fell and hit Newton so hard
that the young man determined to find
out what made it fall. If so great a
bkeptic as Voltaire could swallow the
story, there is no reason why it should
not be accepted by the other skeptics.
When Sir Isaac first made his com
putations on the subject of gravita-
ton, he was misled by the erroneous
notions then held Of the length of the
earth's radius. He therefore abandon
ed the theory temporarily. Later the
error was corrected, when he returned
to the subject, completed the demon
stration and gave it to the world in his
famous principal"
In the meantime he had made his al
most equally famous discoveries con-
corning light, dividing white light into
the primary colors and determining the
difference Of refraction between them.
He also did much in perfecting the tel
escope gave to mathematics integral
and differential calculus and made 9th
er contributions to science which mark
ed him as the chief intellect of his age.

John A. johnson the Ideal Occupant
Of the Presidential Chair.

As president, Gov. Johnson would
have the qualities that might described
as logically and historically needful
at this time, representing both In.
thought and by concrete achievement
all of the progressive reforms to which
the American people are now thorough
" committed. His personality and
his methods are such that, coming into
office after the strenuous and even
terrifying political and financial ex-
periences of recent years, he would be
prepared to hold all that has been
gained restore an era of good feeling
and smoothly and comfortably prepare
the way for such additional advanced
legislation as the times require. In
word, Gov. Johnson is precisely the
kind of leader the nation requires at
this time, ready for new legislation to
meet new needs, but careful and con-
sentative in his methods. The same
confdence-inspiring, vote-getting at
tributes that have made Gov. John
son 80 popular in Minnesota that there
is absolutely no question that he
could carry the state as the DemO
cratic presidential nominee will make
him equally popular with the voters
of the nation, once they have an OPP
portunity to become acquainted with
the man.
Every political campaign has its in
dividual conditions. II is found in this
contest that Gov. Johnson possesses
strength peculiar to him alone and
by which he is certain to bring to the
Democratic party upwards of million
votes in the middle west that have
hitherto been Republican. This condi-
tion insures beyond a reasonable
doubt victory for Democracy and Gov.
Johnson in the following states: Min
nesota, North and South Dakota, I'LL
nois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Ne
braska, Colorado, Montana, Washing
ton and Michigan.

THE FIRST LETTER

THE FIRST LETTER that a sick woman
should write or have some one write for
her is to DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. r.,
asking him If "FAvoRITE PRESCRIPTION
Is suitable for her case, and be will
frankly tell her 30 II he thinks 1t is. He
may have 20 ask some questions before
he can be sure just what the trouble Is.
II you are suffering from uterine dis
ease she symptoms OF which are head
ache, backache, sideache, pain in vari-
Gus parts OF the body, especially In the
pelvic region, bearing down, inflamma-
Hon, liberation, then DR.. Pierce viii

vERITABLE PRESCRIPTION that became
his rfavorite" when he was engaged in
private practice forty years ago and
1ound that II cured more than ninety
eight out OF every hundred OF all such
eases that came under bis care.
The doctor found scores and hundreds
of women who were being improperly
treated because their troubles we're not
understood, and he determined to place
this remedy that he had used so success
fully within reach Of the multitudes who
were In such sore need of 1t.
he made it efficient, agreeable to taste.
