Ohio Is close. with a chance for
Taft or Bryan TO get the verdict

Bryan by a landslide plurality. IL
the vote had been taken three
weeks ago the state would have
gone for Bryan. During the last
fortnight the republicans have
gained and now feel hopeful.
The democrats feel sure that
they will win the state for the ma
uonal ticket There are many I'M
certain elements. The most prob
able outcome Is a close election
like that OF 1892.
The republicans complacently
observed the conditions without re-
alizing the danger until a few
weeks ago. Then they decided an
active campaign was necessary,
They raised money from Cincin.

Taft was brought into the state
for a tour Of the industrial sections.
The tour was partially successful
but Il did not affect the vote that
Il was desired 20 reach.
Since then the employers have
been appealed 10 and they are now

SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE.
What Is Causing the Increase Of Ca
tarrh in Bismarck.

Catarrhal troubles are increasing
not only in Bismarck, but all over the
country. .,.@s p. #sss
Catarrh is germ disease and, to
cure it, germ life in the nose, throat
and lungs must be destroyed, and
this can be done only by breathing
Hyomei. .'.#a# ~
There is no dangerous stomach
drugging when Hyomei is used; no
tablet of liquid mixtures whereby
the digestion is often destroyed and
intestinal troubles added to the hor-
rors of catarrh. .,s
Breathed through the neat pocket
inhaler that comes with every outfit
its healing balsams penetrate the
most remote air cells, destroying the
catarrhal germs so that quick recov.
cry follows. The complete outfit
costs but Sl.00 and Lenhart Drug
Co. agrees to refund the money
should Hyomei fail to do all that is
claimed for it.

No Cause for knitting.

Braddock News: No North Dako-
tan claiming to be a Republican, has
at this time plausible excuse for
knitting the Republican state nomi-
nees of the primaries. Every Repub-
can voter in the state has had an op-
portunity to vote for the nomination
of the man of his choice-and hun
dreds of Democrats have gone to the
polls and asked for Republican bal
lots in order that they might vote
for insurgent candidates. The nom
nations are about equally divided,
and it is but fair to presume that
every man nominated is a Repub1i-
can. The News believes that SO per
cent of the men who advocated and
voted the stalwart ticket will vote
the Republican ticket at the polls
next November. And it is refreshing
to note that large number if the
insurgent writer's Of the state are ad-
vocating harmony and a united stand
against the common enemy.

WEATHER REPORT.

At this season OF the year when
most theatres are closed for the sum
mer, the Gem is fortunate in having
a building so situated that it can be
made actually cooler than the tenn
perature outside This has been
demonstrated by actual tests with the
thermometer.
In another way this theatre is ex-
tremely fortunate in the fact that
most theatres being closed, Manager
Wells now has the choice of the very
best vaudeville acts, while during the
busy season all theatres have to take
such acts as are sent by the agency
bookinng the house. This is demon
strated this week when two team acts
were cancelled before getting acts
which the manager thought suffi-
GENTLY strong to draw good business
for an entire week, and the crowded
house last night seemed to indorse
his choice.
People may say that juggling acts
are old, but certainly nothing has
ever been seen here that can compare
with the work done by Allaire last
night. Every part of this act was a
revelation in dexterity, and the ap-
plause Indicated that Bismarck audi
ences appreciate big city acts when
an opportunity is presented to see
| them. #., &z *..' #&
For the second act in the bill this
week, Mr. Arthur Crawford won an
equal share of the applause in his
funny black face comedy act. Not
| chestnut used, and his "sad tail OF
the little pig with an ever growing
ball of mud on It," brought many
! laughs #5..
The pictures shown are of the usual
excellent quality always shown at the
| Gem.
