Senator Dubois, who will take an active part In the convention, is said to favor a resolution that rails for the disfranchisement not only of polygamies and those who practice unlawful cohabitation, but of those who affiliate with an arganizatlon that encourages such practice. Former United States Senator Henry Heltfeld Is apparently the strongest candidate for the governorship. Former Governor Frank Steunenberg and Mayor Hawley, of Boise, are also men tioned in this connection. Tacoma. Wash., Daily Ledger. WHALE ON WHIOBY BEACH. Monster Stranded on th Island Amazed a Camper. An Everett, Wash., special to the Seattle Post-Intelllgencer gives the fol lowing big whale story: And still an other story has appeared regarding the famous Puget sound whale which was seen In the Everett harbor last Sun day, and at that time Is alleged to have chased two veracious fishermen to shore. Joseph Mattel, of Snohomish, who has been camping at Leonard beach Whldby Island, declares that a few days ago a big whale amazed him by grounding on the beach near the mouth of a small creek, where he was fishing. The monster seemed to have been left high by an outgoing wave. It rolled slightly on its side as though it had been hurt. Then another large wave came, and with a smashing blow with its tail, It shot off Into deep water and wasn't seen again until it spouted a quarter of a mile away. CONTRAST WAR WITH THE 8T.

Sold Everywhere In Doxes, 10c. and 5c. By Prof. Edgar L. Larkin, of the Lowe Observatory. ! i The mystery of war Is one of the Inexplicable things in nature, and it Is useless to Inquire why fighting ex ists. In fact, it is of no use to make inquiry as to why anything is In exist ence. All that part or the universe within the range of vision of the larg est telescope Is known to be governed by rigid laws, not one of which can be violated without swift and adverse consequences following. As large as the visible universe may be, everything Is seen to be ruled by vast laws except man. The writer, In many years of re search, has been unable to detect a trace of law ruling human beings, whether singly or collected Into na tions. The best man In a neighborhood philanthropist a real benefit to the comunlty, one whom the people find H almost Impossible to dispense with. Is more liable to die an untimely death than his near "neighbor, who may be a moral leper, whose very presence Is withering. Kings will order thousands of men into the very Jaws of death without a twinge of conscience. To the writer it Is an Insoluble ques tion why men obey. Why will the millions march to the cannon's mouth on the order of a monarch? In this rapid age war has far deeper results than at first appear. The tele graphic systems of the world are so perfect that the news of a battle Is soon known everywhere. The eyes of count less millions almost see the field of carnage. And from known laws or hu man psychology the effects of these battles are deplorable. But of all hideous things that have appeared on earth moving pictures of actual battles on display in theaters are the worst. This horror is new In history. The writer saw all the hor rors of a battle between the Russians and Japanese In glowing, shifting pic tures, 20 feet wide, before the audience In a crowdedJheater. . IT ISAMATTEROFHEAU3 Absolutely Pure TBERE IS M SUBSTITUTE exposition from ita inception, more particularly in Its scientific features, and asserts that the display in all that has been done in scientific research to date is far and away beyond all that has so far appeared. The spirit of mm broods over the vast buildings and th lights of their Interior. Acres of com plex mechanism are on Inspection and the genius of humanity presides over the great temple erected In hi honor. Here the sweet art of peace are o lavish display. Goodness Is round about and all who feast their eye oa the splendor of the mind' choicest product cannot help wondering why the same kind of beings who developed this marvelous display will slay each other. How can war and this fair be on the same planet? This question cannot be answered In our present knowledge. Or, why will not the good people of the world rise and end the war? With in tbe historic period of man's career on earth no such sharp contrast ha been displayed as that between the war' in the east and the blessed, peaceful vision in the west. NO DULL SEASON. Keep It was a mattnee, and the building was full of women and girls. Now, from the well known laws of mental influence on unborn children, the aw fulness of these life pictures cannot be overdraw. All women In that au dience about, to become mothers were In the mental process of converting their offspring Into lighting animals. Is It possible that the fighting in stinct Is to Increase rapidly? Is the race to retrograde, and is man to be a failure? One cannot help having pessimistic Ideas, even though a Hfe-long optimist wnen minxing ot me norrors now- spreading over the "civilised" world And is there no hope for man? Has anything more dreadful than these real war scenes appeared? Now look at the magnificent display- In St Louis. ' The contrast between the world's exposition of progress in the Louisiana Purchase exposition and the war is striking In the extreme. The display is by far the finest yet made. The brain of man Is open to inspection in this wonderful exhibit of his majesty, the developed man. The writer has ben watching the St. Louis Enterprising Merchants Who Busy by Advertising. The Gibson City (111.) Courier, an act home print weekly of eight page, kt a recent Issue, which carries twenty four column of, midsumnjer displar advertising, says: "The value of advertising In stlm latlng business In a naturally dull Bear son Is receiving a phenomenal Illustra tion In Gibson. While other town are languishing In the deadly dullness aa ural to the summer season, the stores of Gibson are as busy aa they so ale times are during the fall rush, and oa a number of days they have actual been overworked and hardly able ta take care of the business that cam tat town. "One of the leading store of town did the largest business In its his tory last Saturday, a phenomenal ree ord for the middle of July, and followed It up with a good trade every day this week. All the stores in town that are making special inducement In prices have enjoyed a remarkable trade dur ing the past two weeks, arid the la crease in busines has been felt br every line of trade. .--j "It Is very easy to explain this usW usual condition. The stores that are bringing the people to town are eoa stant advertisers In the Courier, and for the past two weeks they have bee making special bargains and using extra space, in addition to distributing bills and circulars. Last week's Issue of the Courier contained many columajl of extra advertising for these wide awake firms, who have no hesitancy hi doubling and tripling their usual spate, or even in taking a full page, being" certain of the results. Their wisdom Is shown by the business that has com to town since. "Advertising has ceased to be a mat ter of uncertainty or speculation. It Is neither a science nor an art. It i the simplest kind of a business proposi tion. If a merchant has something that people want and will let ft be known through a medium that actually reaches the people, the result Is certain." Th Death Penalty. A little thing sometimes results in death. Thus a mere scratch, insignifi cant cuts or puny bolls have paid the death penalty. It is wise to have Bucklen's Arnica Salve ever handy. It's the best Salve on earth and will prevent fatality, when Burns, Sores. Ulcers and Piles threaten. Only 23c. at Chas. Roger' drug store.
