VOTE HEAVIER THAN 1914
Indications Are That Primary Election
Vote Will Greatly Exceed That OF
Last Eecton-Total Of 8e2 Ballots
Cast Up to 1880.

From all indications up to 1870 the
vote in the state primary election is go
ing to be much heavier than in 1914,
when only $50 votes We're cast up to
practically the same hour. The condi-
tons then, however. were such that but
little interest was taken in the cleo
ton.
However. the vote in the present
election does not promise to be as large
as that of either 1912 or 1910, when, at
the same hour, totals of 1858 and 931
were registered.
The vote up to 1870 in the city COM

THE LITTLE WHITE VICTIM.

We really should be thankful that we live in these enlightened times. when our lives cannot easily be sworn away In the courts. when medical men know something of medicine, and hanging judges" are few and far be- tween. A few weeks ago some merry picnckerS in n western town refreshed themselves with ice cream, and short ly afterwards they were tying them selves in sailors knots. and several narrowly escaped death. The learned physicians who were summoned said that ptomaine poisoning was responsi- ble. and nobody was hanged.
 Had that occurred a hundred years ago. the doctors would have said that arsenic was the cause of the calamity. and the officers of the law would have gone hunting for the poisener; then woe betide anybody who was known to have Erudge against any of the sufferers! How many innocent people. accused of poisoning, have been le- gally hutChercd will never be known until the roll is called up wonder, but

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Once again theatre-goers may enjoy
the opportunity of journeying with Ly-
man H. Howe at Fords, commencing
Monday, August 2Sth. Those who have
learned from previous visits how revival
izing, invigorating and inspiring are the
animated scenes presented by Mr.. Howe
will hail the news with keen interest.
For it cannot be denied that for films of
punch and pep and finish yet withal dig
nified and most artistic, none can COM
pare with Howe's Travel Festival. 1t is
an attraction that needs to b e seen but
once when its Importance is instantly
recognized. In it's range it is world wide,
and while it is instructive it is equally
entertaining. 1t is, in brief, an attrac-
ton of fact and fancy, of humor and sun
shine, yet one of high purpose and con-
viction. All this is clearly evident from
the scope and variety of subjects COM
bined in the new production.
The programme also includes pictor-
ial excursion through Sunny Spain, to
far-off Hawaii, through the fjords of
Norway to Hammerfest-the most north
erly city in Europe; birds and fish in the
colors of nature, outdoor games revealed
by normal and ultra-slow photography,
catching sharks, and all new comedy car
toons, which are so characteristic of the
attraction.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 18TH,
FRITZ Scheff in
"PRETTY MRS. SMITH"

"PRETTY MRS. SMITH"
What would you do if you married
missionary, went out to Africa with him,
tired of the life and came home? Hav-
ing received news that your husband was
dead, promptly proceeded to marry an
other man with the same last name.
With this husband you attempt love in
a cottage, and finding he is not good
provider you threaten to sue him for nom
support. He disappears, leaving note
of farewell pinned to his coat, which is
discovered at the edge of the sad sea
waves.
Having thus disposed of No. 2, you
fall in love again, this time with a
wealthy clubman, athletically inclined,
but of jealous nature, and No. 3 threat
ems to sue for divorce, after having left
you to your own devices.
Now, suppose all three husbands should
reappear at one time, do you think that
you would really be bigamist and what
do you think you would do? This is the
situation in which FRITZ Schef finds her
self in the title role of Pretty Mrs.
Smith.
The best method of solving this prob
lem is to see for yourself how she does it.
