Personal friends have come to us, from time to time, and inquired if it is really true that THE PEOPLES STORE sells furniture and
household goods ON CREDIT, at lower prices than some of the cash houses ask. They seem to have had the impression that our claim was only
"advertising talk" and not strictly the truth.
We desire to say in this connection that it is NOT merely "advertising talk," but as great a truth as was ever told and for this reason:
This store is associated with one of the greatest buying syndicates the world has ever known. The merchandise for the PEOPLES

STORE is bought by a body of men who, at the same time, buy for a great list of other stores in various cities. IN THIS WAY PRICES ARE
OBTAINED ON THE WHOLESALE MARKET THAT CANNOT BE DUPLICATED by cash or other houses that do their buying singly or
in small groups.
This is one of the great strides taken in modern storekeeping. This is what makes it possible for us to say to you with the utmost sin-

cerity: "Our prices, even when you buy on credit, and pay, say a dollar a week, are as low or even LOWER than those of many cash houses.
Our merchandise is the best that can be bought in the world. Nothing we could say in its praisa would be exaggerating the truth of the matter."
We wish to add that our store is now full from top to bottom with new things for spring. It represents quality and quantity under one
roof. We say to friend and stranger alike: The Peoples Store will live up to its name and reputation in season and out of it.

- (V'hen ths yar 1W ended without. U
'ttolnlr-K o( a single silver dollur by th
Uniied Btstes mint It u the Arst time
since 1839 that such a thine had happened.
This thoroughly Anncrtcau coin replaced
the old Spanish piece of I, or S reals, which
Iml a general circulation In ths colonies
before the opening of the mint in 17t
,' From 1S9 It appeared each year as regu
larly as ths cent until lat year.
' Not a single pattern piece of this denoml-
aailon bearing the date 1906 was struck in
' any kind of melal at the mlut. Coin eol
, leu ton requeatvd the director of the mint at
treat to Uaue proof pieces, so that their
series of coins would not be broken, but
all such requests met With flat refusal. -
The coinage of silver dollars began In
.1791. and they were Issued each ar cvn
, tlnuously up to and Including ISoi, when
they were dlsconlinuej. In 1W their coin
age was resumed, and they appeared each
year afterward up to UHJ5.
..The 17M dollar, the first made, which la
one of the rarest of the series, now brings
a premium of I.40 when In fine condition
and 10 was pa'.d for an uncirculated speci
men. It bore the des:ga t f a liberty head
with flowing hair, resembling closely the
design borne by the copper rents of that
period.
Above the bead was the word "Liberty,"
Surrounding .which were fifteen stars. On
the reverse was an eagle witft raised wings,
encircled by branches of laurel crossed.
Around the rim was "United States of
America," while on the edge was "Hundred
Cents. One Dollar or Unit."
There Is nn way of telling how many 1794
dollars were coined, as the mint records
combine also the output of dollars for 1796,
the total number for the two years being
204,791. In the early part of 1796 the same
design as that of )794 was used on the dol
lars, but In the latter part of the year the
pattern was changed to a bust of Liberty
on the obverse, with the hair bound by a
ribbon, shoulders draped, and with fifteen
stars.
On the reverse an eagle with wings ex
tended stood upon clouds, within a wreath
of palm and laurel, which was croased and
tied. Around the rim were the words
Vl'nlted States of America." A specimen
of this date In uncirculated condition has
brought Its.
This same design, with a few variations,
was adopted In 1796 aud 1797, In which years
the records show 7i9-U and 7.776 dollars to
have been coined, respectively.
A Radical Chaage.
Iu 179H a radical change was made In the
design of the reverse, the obverse remain
ing the same as that of the preceding
year. On this the eagle, with railed wings,
bears a United Btates shield upon its
breast.
Iu the beak is a scroll inscribed "U Plu
ribus I'Dura." In the right talon Is a bun
dle of arrows, an olive branch being held
In the left. Above the eagle are clouds
and thirteen stars and the words "United
States of America."
It Is shown that 327.S38 dollars were
coined this year. An uncirculated dollar of
1797 has brought J0. white one of 179. In
the Mnie condition, has been sold for fit.
The mint records show that In 1799 there
were coined 423.5U dollars, the busiest year
at that Institution for the coinage of dol
lars during this period, while 1900 produced
Zf.i; 11. 64.f4; ltt. 41.650 1C. (6,0(4.
In 1H. although this Is disputed. It is said
tn.it mote than '.S.CJ d illars were minted.
In the last year was Issued perhaps the
ago for 11.100, and yet It Is said that there
are fully twenty-one In . existence. Great
difference of opinion exists among coin au
thorities aa to the genuineness of the 1904
dollar, and no satisfactory conclusion has
ever been reached.
Patters Dollars.
In 136 and 183s two different dollars were
Issued by the United States mint In silver,
which are now of high rarity, the one of
the latter year being especially rare. These
two pieces were designed by C. Oobrecht
of the mint.
The one of 1836 shows Liberty seated,
holding in the left hand a spear, sur
mounted by a liberty cap. The right hand
supports a shield, across. which Is a band
Inscribed "Liberty." Underneath is "18S."
At the base of the figure Is the name In
small letters "C. Gobrecht. F." On the
reverse Is "United States of America," In
the center being a large flying eacle, sur
rounded by twenty-six stars. The edge
Is plain. The coin la now valued at STL
In l&JS the same designer Issued another
pattern dollar. The figure of Liberty on
this coin la surrounded by thirteen stars,
while the name at the base Is omlUed. On
the reverse Is a flying eagle similar to the
one of lt31 but the stars are omitted and
the edge is milled. This coin recently sold
for SI 82 50.
In 129 another pattern was Issued by
Gobrecht similar to that of 1&38, but the
edge was reeded. A specimen of this
variety has brought ISO.
The eagle on the pattern dollars of these
three years and also the flying eagle cents
of the latter part of the 60' s Is a portrait
of the fine eagle that used to make the
Philadelphia mint his headquarters. This
bud. It is said, lived at the mint for six
years, flew all about the city, but invari
ably returned at nightfall. He was named
Peter and was known to Philadelphlans ss
the "mint bird." He met an untimely end
by being caught In the machinery.
In 1840 the coinage of dollars was re
sumed, the design on the obverse showing
Liberty seated upon a rock, supporting
with her right hand the United States
shield, serosa which floats a scroll inscribed
"Liberty," and with her left a staff and
liberty cap. On the reverse is an eagle1 with
most famous dollar of all. One of the rea
sons assigned for the scarcity of the 1804
dollars is that sliver dollars were used In
those days to pay off our men In the navy,
and nearly all the coins made by the mint
that year were sent to Tripoli to pay the
soldiers and sailors engaged in the Tripoli
tan war. It is the theory that only a few I
of the coins found their way back to this
country.
This explanation is hardly satisfactory,
as it is reasonable to suppose that some of
the coins would still be In existence on the'
continent. This is not the case. The stock
of every coin dealer on the other side has
been ransacked time and again by Ameri
can collectors in eager anarch ft rarities,
and without finding any dollars of 1804.
The deaigns of the 1804 dollar Is the same
as that of 17U8, with the single exception of
the date. One of the coins sold not long
extended wings, bearing a United Btates
shield on its breast, "United States of
America, One Poll."
This design was followed each yeur until
1?6. when the motto "In God We Trust"
was added, and continued until 1878, when
this style of dollar was dropped, to be re
placed by the trade dollar, which was
coined each year until 1877, when trade
dollars were abandoned, and the next year,
1878, the present style was adopted, which
has been continued without Interruption
ever since.
The rarest of the dollars since 1639 are
thoee of 1S51 and 18U, which have brought
respectively, $56 and $f2. Uncirculated dol
lars of 1864, 165 and 18S6 have sold for
from 19 to 112. while one of 1S68 has
brouKht $34. New A'ork Sun.
hereafter weddings there will be no

the bridal party, and that so far as he has
power all this wedding insanity will be
stopped.
It Is not necessary to tell anybody that as
things are now conducted a ceremony
which should be regarded as sacred In its
character and of a very high social nature,
has in most cases become a ridiculous tra
vesty on common sense; such as the throw
ing of rice and old shoes, adorning the
trunks with ribbons, decorating ths horst

PRESCRIBING BY TELEPHONE
A Waralas Which Doctors aa Drag.
lt saoald Read and
Heed.
Another aud most deplorable warning
has recently been given druggists against
receiving prescriptions, at least those con
taining lethal ingredients, by telephone.
Briefly stated the facts are these: A drug
gist who kept a "general store" in Granite
City, 111., was telephoned to by a physician
in St. Louis to give a certain patient one
eighth of a grain of morphine sulphate at
bedtime. The drugglat was temporarily ab
sent, and the message was received by nis
son. a lad of It or 14 years old, who knew
nothing of pharmacy, and who misunder
stood the message. The consequence was,
in brief, ths lad gave the patient an over
dose of morphine "four cubes of one grain
each," from the effects of which, of course,
the patient died, leaving a widow and
nine orphan children.
The coroner's Jury held the doctor; the
druggist and the boy responsible for the
death of the patient. Of the verdict, how
ever, we do not care to speak. It is of
the danger, the fearful responsibility that
one assumes when he ventures to act upon
the mere authority, or alleged authority,
of a physician In a case of this kind. We
say "alleged authority," for who at one
nd of a telephone circuit can tell with
certainty who is talking at the other end,
be it only a block away? How can tha
pharmacist know that it is a physician who
Is ordering morphine, or atropine or any
other scheduled poison, to be delivered to
any one who may call for it? True, he
may recognise 'the voice," but one can
readily foresee cases like the present, for
Instance, where it might be vastly to the
advantage of "the voice" not to mate
rialise; In fact, to deny having given the
order, or even having been present at the
telephone, and unless there was present
some witness, who could gainsay him?
Aside from this feature of the question,
there are others which should banish the
telephone, in its present imperfect con
dition, as a conveyer of prescriptions.
Some persons, notably those with false
teeth, make themselves understood only
with great difficulty or not at all. Defects
of hearing contribute to Its Inefficiency as a
bearer of exact messages. All things con
sidered, we urge upon our readers to re
fuse to compound any prescriptions re
ceived through the telephone save those
for simple and harmless ingredients, and
these only at the rink of those for whom
they are intended or the person sending
the message. National Druggist.
