Tomorrow the primary election will
take place, and so far it has been very
quiet one. In this county the Demo
cratic nomination is equivalent to cleo
ton, and therefore the result is of the
greatest importance to the candidates.
Everyone seems to be doing his best,

Two Men.

There came into Butte last evening 9
man whose presence the very elements
seemed to heed Like a chinook whose
breath in spring releases a snow-covered
land from winters grasp, Senator
Bob" Taylor, of Tennessee, followed
upon the heels of the storm that swept
over Butte and, with his coming, the
stars appeared and the moon smiled
down upon scene as peaceful as Hap
Ply Valley, the home of this famous
Tennessean. And so it was that great
and representative audience heard Sen
ator Taylor at the Auditorium last even
ing. Few in that crowded hall knew
the orator when he began his lecture.
When he had concluded every one felt
bound to him by close ties of friend
ship. With splendid word paintings,
such as few of his audience had ever
heard, the brilliant Tennessean drew
pictures of life in the South as he found
it. The lesson he sought to convey,
that contentment is the greatest bless
ing in the world, grew strangely clear
as he deity drew his vivid word pic
lures. To him all lnen are brothers;
white or black, poor or rich, he loves
them all alike. Clean, wholesome en-
tertaining, his address left his hearers
the better for having heard it.
Less than two years ago from that
same platform there addressed similar
Butte audience another distinguished
Southerner Senator Ben" Tillman, al
most neighbor of Senator Taylor
across the Tennessee mountains, spoke
also of the South. The message he
bore has not been forgotten by those
who heard it, and to those who last
night compared it with the words of the
Senator from Tennessee, the contrast
must have struck them with all the
force of blow. Here were two dis
Southern gentlemen, both
born and raised in the South and of
about the same age; both actively en-
gagged for many years in the service of
their State and each honored with places
in that highest of all legislative bodies,
the United States Senate-but how diff
ferent their points of view The one
breathed message of peace and good
will, the other of hate and bitterness.
Both near the goal to which all men are
speeding, the one facing
it with the serenity born of faith in
gospel and life of love, the other, with |
only harsh memories of sectionalism
and strife, waiting, 'must it not be, with
out hope of happiness at the end.
Of the two types of Southern states
men, we prefer to think that he is the
more representative who is known as
the best loved man in the South, . Sen
ator Robert L. Taylor, of Tennessee.
May he live long and prosper and be an
inspiration to countless thousands yet
TO hear his message of good cheer. =

Largest in Washington City.


The present quarters of the People
Drug Store, at S27 Seventh street north
west, was opened for business about -four
years ago, on August 1, with a very
modest stock, which has materially
grown from year to year to several time,
its original size.
From the very beginning the increase
of trade has been marked with this es.
adjustment, and at the end of two years
the store room was increased to double
its size to accommodate the still growing
business, which has again outgrown its
present capacity. Mr.. M. G. Gibbs,
proprietor of the Peoples Drug Store,
who established this business, holds a
degree of doctor of pharmacy, and is a
graduate of George Washington College
of Pharmacy, formerly known as the
National Pharmacy. Prior to embark
ing in his present enterprise Mr.. Gibbs
was employed as manager of large
drug store in this city, which position he
held for about ten years.
Mr.. Gibbs is young man of pleasing
personality and progressive ideas, which
are fully exemplified with his substantial
business methods, and he is ever on the
alert to keep in touch with the needs of
the public, and is quick in decision and
action, which is necessary in successful
business.
Recognizing the demand and the i'm
portance for larger and more commo-
dious quarters for his growing business,
and after careful search and consider
alton, the new building at the corner of
Massachusetts avenue and Seventh street
has been leased for a term of years by
Mr.. Gibbs, where the new home of the
Peoples Drug Store will soon be opened
on larger scale than ever. This
spacious building has three floors and
a basement, which will be occupied com
pletely by the Peoples Drug Store for
the manufacture and sale of drugs and
other articles of merchandise.
New and handsome modern, up-to-
date fixtures will be installed through
out, including magnificent new SAM
tary iceless soda fountain. A new de-
parture will be the arrangement of the
prescription department, which will be
arranged to be exclusively located, so as
to be away from the busy section of the
main salesroom.
Another feature will be the handsome
cigar section, where complete line of
the best brands for smokers may be OBJ
tanned
The policy of the Peoples Drug Store
has always been to sell only the highest
grade of drugs at lowest possible prices,
and this policy will be fully maintained
at the new store.
Until the new store is completely fitted
up and arranged for the opening, which
will include an entire new stock through
out, the present stock will be sold out
at greatly reduced prices, and the re-
moval sale at S27 Seventh street north
west, which is now being advertised in
The Washington Herald, is an event
that is attracting wide attention by those
who appreciate getting all they can for
their money. Washington Herald.

InSention Which Makes 1t Impossi-
Bile for Persons to Escape.
A shoe which will make impossible
the escape OF convicts while being
transported from one point to another
has been invented by a Californian.
The idea came to him after suffering
on several occasions through the pro-
trusion OF hob-nails through the heel
Of boot In need Of repair.
The device consists ora heavy leath-
ser shoe, with o perforated sole to
which is attached a second sole OF
steel plate, jointed so that the whole
will bend with the usual motion Of
the toes and foot Riveted upright to
this steel sole are sharp spikes, placed
IN such a position that they will enter
the perforations of the leather. sole.

scrossbars with series of steel springs
on either side.
The whole Continuance is fastened to
the prisoners foot by means Of metal
straps, held secure by paddock. With
the crossbars in position. the prisoner
can walk In the shoes as in ordinary
ones, but once he is placed on a train
or other conveyance, the officer re-.
leases the crossbars and locks them
In such a position that they cannot
be replaced between the spikes and
perforations without a key. The only
thing that now keeps the spikes from
entering the perforations and gouging
into the criminals foot is the springs.

singing Anoat.

The best time and place to hear a
medley Of national airs is sailing day
on the pier Of a steamship bound for
some European port that Is distrib-
uting center for the entire continent
Many persons seem to think that per-
sons going to Europe or returning
therefrom should be sped on their
way or welcomed home by an outhurst
Of song. Accordingly. when the mu-
sically inclined hear Of friends who
are about to embark they repair to
the pier In large numbers and sing
their adieus. The international con-
cert is frequently amusing as well as
confusing. Here band blares out
the German national anthem, there
representatives of a singing society
shout some other tune Of the father
land, while In a dozen other different
places a dozen other groups OF stay-at-
homes sing or play dozen other airs
of other countries. It is all very in
spiriting, yery cosmopolitan, and
makes the hustle on the piers Of the
ordinary conservative steamship lines
seem like mere Sunday school quiet.

The Land Lotterie.

Having some 100000 acres of un-i
used Indian reservations to open to
settlement in Idaho, Montana and
Washington, the government has found
no better way of ascertaining who
shall get the land than by conducting
lottery. The result proves that the
appeal to the gambling spirit, the hui.
man desire to get something for moth.
ing, or at a great bargain, is allufing.
In the drawing for the Flathead
lands in Montana, for instance, there
were more than $4,000 entries for only
$500 quarter sections of land, SO that
each applicant had the chance of one
in thirty of getting farm Probably
not one in thirty of them had any in
tention of making his h ne on the
land longer than might be necessary to
perfect a title which he could sell at
speculative profit.
If all the applicants we're homeseek-
ers, intending in good faith to culti-
vate the land. the lottery plan might
not be so bad, for the policy of our
wealthy government in increasing the
number of American farms should be
