There are several kinds
of drilling but the kind
the kind that makes the

NEW YORK. Sept 23.-With the
arrival of the day t for ..
Uon of a Republican-Fusion candi
date for mayor of the greatest city In
the land, the politicians of the G. 0.
P.. the Independents T.a
- mo
Democratic Union and the Committee
of One Hundred .have girded up their
loins and prepared to 8lrt .
who will lead their forces on a suc
cessful hunt for the tit, i .v.
"O 1U IUQ
Tammany Jungles.
Never before, according tn it..
clarion call to arms of the Intrepid
imuers or me beast, has there been
such a chance to use the, nit nt
tiger as a doormat at the office of
a Kepublican chief execuriv f m.
grea tmetropolis. Despite these wiM
aiarms, nowever, there remainss "a
smile on the face of the tlenr " Ann
the expression of glee is reflected on
the beaming countenance of one
Charles F. Murphy, who sits calmly
on the lid .and smiles, and smiles,
nad smiles, and is a Tammany boss
Still.
Although today's convention 1a a.
tensbily that of the Republican party
aione, it is certain that the candidate
nominated will be those acceptable
to the Committee of One Hundred,
Hearst's Independence League, the
Dpmrw ratio Ur.lGS
Democrats and other antl-Tammnnv
organizations which have particlpa-'
i.eu m me pernminary conferences j
on men and measures. Some of the
Republican leaders will probably in- j
sist tnat the candidates selected be
Republicans in good standing, but
others are willing to accept any man
who apparentl yhas a chance of win
ning, despite past party affiliations.
Although there is a possibility of
a dark horse capturing the race, it is
likely that the winner will be one of
the following entrants:
Henry L. Stimson, former United
States district attorney.
Robert W. DeForest, former chari
ties commissioner, a Democrat.
Charles S. Whitman, former judge
of general sessions.
William M. Ivins. Republican can
didate fo rmayor four years ago.
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler. nrp.ni-
dent of Columbia University.
Stimson. in the oninion f manv
politicians, has the best chance of
winning the mayoralitv nomination.
but Whitman also has many admir
ers, Stimson is a protege and former
law partner of Elihu Root, who fa
vors nia nomination, but It is alleged
that he Is not very acceptable to tho
fusion forces.
CHORUSES REHEARSING.
After weeks of earnest striving, a
new . phase has appeared on the
boards relative to the contest of
choruses planned for the county fair.
On Thursday night of Fair week, one
of the most stupendous programs of
musical talent from local and Wal
lowa county cities will be held, but
it is apparent that there will not be
a contest between the two choruses
from La Grande.
The cohrus now being drilled by
Mr. Hood will enter the contest if
there is one, but the other local ag
gregation of singers under direc
tion of Prof. Bridges will merely sing
as entertainment. This chorus met
last night at the Presbyterian church
and meets again Friday night at 8
o'clock. Musical numbers from Wal
lowa county' the two choruses from
here and individual numbers are
only some of the things slated for
Thursday night. There are 30 voices
in each chorus.

The usiiul symptoms of Scrofula are enlarged elands of the netfc
sores and Uperg on tho body, skin affections, catarrhal troubles, weal;
eyes, and general poor health. The inherited poison, transmitted throug'
the bloo'i, pollutes and weakens this fluid, and in place of its nutritive
qiv.iliTics fill tho circulation with scrofulous matter, which saps the vitality
of the entire system. Thousands of children, born with a scrofulous taint,
have spent their childhood In constant physical suffering, and grown to
manhood or vonianhood handicapped by ill health and stunted growth,
and perhaps later some disease of tho bones or joints developed. S. S. S..
given in their early life, would have prevented this. - It would havo
cleansed an 1 purified the blood of the taint, nourished and stengthened
their systems, and assisted euch to grow into strong, healthful manhood
or womanhood. S. S. S. is the very best remedy for Scrofula. It goer
down to tho bottom of the trouble, and cleanses the circulation of al!
scrofulous matter. It supplies the weak, diseased blood with strengtl:
and health-building qualities, and under tho purifying effects of this great
remedy all symptoms of Scrofula pass away. S. S. S. contains no minerals
in any form, and is an absolutely safe treatment for children, even Infants,
or persons of any age. Literature about Scrofula and any medical advico

QUALITY DETER MIXES SUCCESS.
Quality indicates the man; Quality makes the merchant; Quality
you will remember long aftor the. price has been forgotten. The
quality and prices of the goods piled up and scattered around
this store will tell you whether or not this Is the right place to get
the right quality at the right prices.
Yes, it would be easy to go ahead and enumerate ail kinds of drugs,
medicines, stationery, toilet goods, books, combs, brushes, etc. BBut
what's 'be use? It isn't Just things you're after. You want quality,
articles of merit, and things that are pure nad wholesome.
This is not a little, dingy place. It's a drug store -v.ith lots of good
goods for good people. It's a drug store o fquallty, and the bwit In
.he beginning is the cheapest In the end.
Business principles that are broad, honorable and fair to all,
form the keystone for a united friendship.
