WOMEN WIN IN CALIFORNIA

Beiated Returns Give Suffrage
Amendment Majority of 2,o51.
San Francisco, Cal.-Woman suf-
frage has triumphed in California.
Struggling returns have wiped out
the majority previously recorded
against the amendment, and since
this turn the margin in favor of
the amendment has increased stead
lily. Totals show the result to be as
follows: For suffrage amendment
1880; against, 117,779; majority tor
amendment, 2,051.
These figures represent the returns
from 1877 precincts out Of 1921 OF
the state. AS virtually all of the re-
manning precincts are in counties
which have given suffrage majorities,
it is reasonable to suppose they will
increase this margin.

MR.. ALLEN URQUHART.
Enterprising Citizens and Sue

AS our country grows older and all
ments and disease become more preva-
/ lent, greater attention is paid pharma.
ceutical excellence, and the people are
fast learning to depend upon the drug
gist to administer and compound prep
arations of relief and other remedies
\ high standard of excellence and per
lection in pharmacy is maintained by
the enterprise owned and conducted by
Mr.. Allen Urquhart. This store takes
front rank in all that pertains to purity
and accuracy in drugs. The stock ear
ried IS singularly complete, and is of a
high order. Drugs, medicines, proprle-
tary goods, toilet articles, druggists
sundries, stationery, books, cut glass
hand painted china, paints, oils, varnish
es, etc, are carried, and all sold at
prices which defy competition. This
drug store is first class in every respect
and is one of the most popular business
houses in Jefferson. A pleasing fea-
ture of Mr.. Urquhart s popularity and
success in our city which deserves more
than ordinary mention, is the care ana
attention given to the selection of his
goods. In all the extensive stock car
ried there is not one single article Of
merchandise or drugs the excellency
and purity of which cannot be vouched
for. Mr.. Urquhart is a pharmacist of
twenty-six years practical experience
In addition to his other efficient work
Mr.. Urquhart is an experienced expert
in the compromising of prescriptions.
This house is favorite with our To-
cal physicians as well as all citizens
Among the up-to-date, metropolitan bus
mess concerns of jefferson, none stands
out more prominently than does the drug
store of Allen Urquhart. Pride has
been taken by Mr.. Urquhart to give the
people Of Jefferson a drug store of
which they might justly feel proud,
and it is evident that he has succeeded
in his efforts.
For two years he has been in the
New Moseley block.
Mr.. Urquhart is a descendant of the
pioneer of jefferson who blazed the
way for the many thousands who came
after him. The city of Jefferson today
is laid out largely on the land plated
and owned by Mr.. Urquhart's grand
father, who also bore the name Of
Allen.
