Where Do YOT
Have Your Prescriptions Filled?
And are they filled by a Competent Pharmacist?
The above questions should be of interest to every man, woman, boy and girl. The filling of
prescriptions has grown to be the most important part of out business, and one we take great pride
in, for we thoroughly understand such work. We allow no substitution, but fill every prescription
exactly as written, and with pure, fresh drugs at economical prices. No delay, in mistakes, but
prompt, quick and reliable service. Perfect accuracy in compounding a prescription, standard
strenghtli of preparations employed, and absolute purity in its ingredients, are of vital importance
I11 these three points I liokl myself responsible for all prescriptions compounded in my establish-
ment. We deliver prescriptions to any part of the the city. Open from 6 o'clock in the morning
until 12 at night. Any boy in town can tell you the place.

A DANGEROUS LAW.
Oar Tekas legislators j»re hard
to hold to the line of conservatism.
The Agnew assignment bill has
passed the senate, and we donbt
if any legislation that has been en-
acted for some time is so loaded
with danger. I*, forbids the fail-
ing merchant to prefer creditors at
all under any circumstances.
This i* a blow at our homo job-
bers and our home bank9. Many
a merchant has been saved from
ruin by the favor of his home
bank. The bank l**ing on the
ground can afford to extend him
credit to tide hun over the hard
times if he will agree to prefer
them In case of disaster. But an
der the new bill this can not be
done and the bank will of course
refuse to lend him njoney at a tim<>
when he needs it most.
The first effect of this bill, if it
becomes a law, would be to pre
vent a large majority of our mer
chants getting credit from the
banks and forcing them to assign.
It of course would be a good thing
for the big wholesalers of 8t.
Louis, Chicago and New York, an
they woald not have to look out
for their claims and conld force
oar merchants to the wall after

HAS SHOWN HIS HAND.
The president overleaped the
bounds of prudence, at least when
he attempts to make us believe
that our credit had so suffered
from ihe fear of silver that our
bonds bearing 4 per cent and run-
ning thirty years could only l>e
sold for 1.04 "a. The fact is plain
that |thev were selling at the rate
of 1.19. He could have sold ten
times that many at a rate far
above what he got. He has not
only sold bonds below what he
could have gotten for them, but
has shaken the confidence of our
people in his candor ia dealing
with public questions.
It is nothing more than a de-
liberate attempt to bulldoze con-
gress into formally declaring for
the single gold standard
SHERMAN'S SARCASM.
John Sherman is perhaps the
ablest man iu the senate. He is
an intense partisan, yet he some-
times gets too big for partisan-
ship. He is noted for dignity and
politeness. If he wounds he does
it smilingly. His sarcasm is of
that cold, biting kind that chills
to the marrow.
In pretending to defend the
president from the attacks of other
republicans upon his t>ond trans-
action, he made a double cut and
struck deep into both Cleveland
and Carlisle. He said the attacks
upon Ihe president were all out of
order. Said he: "The law makes
it the exclusive duty of the secre-
tary of the treasury to manage
this matter and the president has
nothing to do with it."
He was correct so far as the law
is concerned, but he knew the
president had taken the matter
into his own hands and that Mr.
Carlisle was merely a clerk to
carry out the instructions ot Mr.
Cleveland.
A short time before in a news-
paper interview he had stated that
both Harrison and Cleveland had
made the mistake of imagining
that they were chosen to be rulers
Sherman himself was the most
successful financier that ever pie
sided over the treasury. He gives
as a reason for this that the presi-
dent permitted him to attend to
those things which the law made
his duty.
hawaii denies it.
Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 21.—
The story that was printed in San
Francisco last week, telling of
great cruelty visited upon Capt.
Davis, an American, and others
by the Hawaii officials in order to
extort information about the re-
cent revolution in the country is
vigorously denied by the Hawaiian
Gazette of Feb. 5, a copy of which
paper was received in this city to
day. The Gazette prints a detail-
ed denial of the reports of cruelty
and says: "We have made per-
sonal investigation ot the facts,
and although no persons of sense
could for a moment believe sucL
stones as are alluded to, we wish
to inform our foreign readers that
there is absolutely no truth in
such reports, no matter from what
source they emanate."

A MORMON PUZZLE.
The System or Naming Streets In Salt Lake
City Is Confusing.
In Fait Lake City they name streets
as nowhere else on earth. For general
confusion to a newcomer no other sys-
tem equals it. In the long run it has its
advantages, for it not only guides yon
to any street with pomp and ceremony,
but it sharpens your hearing and enconr-
ages mental concentration. The street
system of Salt Lake originates at Tem-
ple square, wherein stand the taber-
nacle, the general assembly hall and the
temple which was 130 years in building.
A wall 10 < r 13 feet high incloses tho
square. The streets passing it were
named East Temple, South Temple,
West Temple and North Temple respec-
tively.
East Temple street is tho principal
business thoroughfare of tho city, and
its name has been changed to Main
street. The first street south of and par-
allel to South Temple street is named
First South street. East of Main street
it is East First South street; west of
Main street it is West First South street.
Tho numbering of the houses begins at
Main street and runs each way, every
house number having an E or a W ap-
pended, as 830E. Proceeding south each
street that crosses Main is numbered in
rotation, Second South, Third South,
and so on, all being further divided into
East and West. The same plan is fol-
lowed north, east and west of the tem-
ple, and at a certain crossing the streets
running north and south are divided for
numbering, and each wing is given its
prefix of North or South. When you
start out to find a number on East Fifth
South street, the same number on South
Fifth East won't do at all, and if you
aro trying to find your way from a re
mote place on North Twelfth West
street to an indefinite number on East
Sixth South, between South Eighth East
and South Ninth East, yon would do
well to start before dark and keep per
fectly sober. Boxing the compass is
child's play by comparison.—Kansas
City Star.
Ktlilcs of IIorne Trading.
Chief Justice Peters iu making a
charge in a case in court removed a cer-
tain weight of responsibility from the
shoulders of the horse jockey. He said
that in driving a bargain it is allowable
to use a certain amount of "trader's
talk," in which the buyer is to believe
at bis own risk. "The law cannot hold
a man responsible for everything he
may say in driving a, trade," said Judge
Peters; "it cannot. It expects the buy-
er to use ordinary precautions, and if he
gets cheated by believing all the chaf-
fering indulged in by the seller he must
necessarily suffer. The law steps in only
in case of fraud, defined according to
legal statutes."—Lewiston Journal.
Host Drummers Ilave, but Thin One Could
Give Them Points.
There is one kind of merchant detest-
able to the traveling man, and t':: f i •
the individual who knows it aH end or-
ders his goods direct from the home,
instead of allowing the traveler to take
his order. There is such a man in a
town not many miles from Indianapolis.
He has no use for traveling men, ui.d if
one of them happens to drop into his
store tho old grocery keeper cither ig-
nores him altogether or gives him a ter-
rible tongue lashing. The old fellow
was caught once, however, and those
who have been unfortunate enough to
run up against him are wondering how
it was done. The man who sold him a
bill of goods heard before ho reached the
town what a tough old customer he
was, and he made up his mind to sell
him a bill of goods or die in tho attempt,
ile had been told how every scheme
failed, and he resolved to try a new
game—that of making him mad. He
went into the store bright and early,
whistling a merry tune. Tho proprietor
was back at his desk, and the drummer
"braced" the clerk.
"Where is it?" ho asked.
"What, where, how?" exclaimed the
clerk, half scared to death.
"The chief mogul, the high muck-a-
muck, Is is royal nibs, his jaglets, tha
boss," answered the traveling man.
"Oh, you mean Mr. S . Thero ho
j is, back there. "
) Tho traveling man walked back to
tho desk and tossed his card over to tho
| grocery keeper. "Is this Mr. S ?"
j ho asked.
Tho grocery keeper kept on writing
and paid no attention to tho traveling
) man than if he wore a post.
"Snv, you baldheaded old guy, if you
| aro deaf i.nd^.umb, why don't you lianjJ
| a sign cn your back so people will
J know it?"
Tho last remark brought tho old fel-
low to time, and he op< tied out in great
| shape.
I "Young man," he said, "I don't
j want anything to do with you, r.nd,
moreover, I do not propose to bo insult-
ed in my own house. If you aro not ouS
of hero in ono minute, 1 will either
throw you into tho street or call the po-
lice and have you arrested. "
"Tho you will," replied tho
drummer. "I don't know about that. I
represent tho well known lirm of Seize-
all & Holdem of Indianapolis, and I
came here to sell you a bill of goods.
You liavo the reputation of killing a
traveling man every day, simply be-
cause ho is trying to earn an honest liv-
ing. Everybody in Indianapolis told mo
that it was impossible to sell you any-
thing. They said your currants were
half flies, your cheese moldy, and tha5
you were a back number. I told them
they lied, and now, to prove that they
do not know what they are talking
about, I want to send in your order."
The traveling man opened up his
sample case and sold a good order. Hi;
nerve did it.—Indianapolis Sentinel.

THE MAID OF THE MIST.
A Perilous Trip That the Stanch Lfttl?
Craft Successfully Performed.
Everybody who has visited Niagara
falls has heard of the Maid of the Mist.
Her history is interesting. She was
built in 1854 for navigation between the
American and Canadian shores of tin-
Niagara just below Niagara falls. She
was 72 feet long, with 1? feet breadth
of beam and 8 feet depth of hold,
and she carried an engine of 100 horse
power. After seven years' service her
owner desired to sell her. Ho received
an offer of little more than half her
cost if he would deliver her at Niagara,
opposite the fort, and after consulting
with her captain and pilot. Joel R. Rob-
inson, he decided to accept the offer.
Robinson consented to act as pi 1 ot for
the fearful voyage, Jones, the engineer,
agreed to accompany him, and a ma-
chinist named Mclntyre volunteered to
share the risk with them.
On June 15, 18C1, in the presence of
a large crowd, the little vessel left, the
dock, which was just above the suspen-
sion bridge, ran up the eddy a short dis-
tance, cleared the smooth water and shot
like an arrow into the rapid under the
bridge. When a third of the way down,
she was struck by a jet cf water which
carried away her smokestack and keeled
her over. But she speedily righted, and
after receiving another drenching from
the waves dashed on without further ac
cident to the quiet bosom of the river
below Lewiaton.—New York Adver-
tiser.
