They are often highly polished. KENTUCKY has been a state 100 years. In that time it produced Henry Clay, Henry Watterson and John G. Carlisle. That is fame enough for any stats. TuE Towa prohibitionists have held theirstate convention earliest of all Iowa parties. They will obey scripture, since in this case the first shall be last. THE Methodist oxcursiomsts to the Black Hills have resolved that they are delighted with Nebraska and tho Hills country. We hearsuch declarationsevery dny. Nebraska is becoming known to the world.

This will leave him » pauper unless he has a nest egg hidden somewhere. _— THE eminent colored pugilist who de- feated an eminent whito pugilist the other day in London is now mentioned as Colonel Jackson. 'This is difficult to understand. A great majority of the men who are called colonels never fought a battle in their lives. OvER 50,000 more immigrants have landed in this country during the past ten months than during a similar period of the proceding year. They are drawn here largaly by reports of the activity of the World’s fair and also by the fact that they expect to better their condi- tion. IF GENERAL SLOCUM should be nomi- nated by the Chicago convention the whole country would have to begin studyingr the history of the war of the rebellion. General Slocum was a good soldier but he has been almost unknown outside of New York state for a quarter of a century. ‘THE financial and commercial’ situa- tion s indicated in Wall street promises less disturbance than usual in conse- quenceof the approaching presidential election. This shows that financial and commercial men are confident that there will bo no change at the helm of the ship of state. THE national drill, which begins in this city June 13 and will continue a week, promises to be the best yet held and ought to prove a great attraction. The large number of entries assures a contest of uncommon interest to every admirer of proficiency in miiitary at- tainment and discipline. THE persistent and indelatigable efforts being put forth in New York to down the coal “combine” will meet with the sympathy of all teuo friends of labor. The tremendous profits of the coal companies every year ought to satisly the most greedy, but thoy seem determined to add greater loads to the poor man’s burdens. THE mass meeting* of colored men at Columbin, S. C., to take action upon the alarming prevalence of lynch law in vhe south took the only sensible course open toit. Colored men were called upon to desist from crime and white men were asked to let the law take its course. The answor of the southern whites will probubly be that they will not lynch negroes if they will behave themselves, and as crime is sure to exist it is likely that mob law will continue to provail as heretofore. An ideal state of soclety will ensue when lynching is abandoned, becausn that will meuan that crime has seused. ——— SIDNEY SMITH once cried, “‘Save, oh uve me from my friends!” A certain Horuce Boies of Iowa could very well ory the same. It is announced that his name will be presented to the Chicago vonvention by John F. Duncombe of Fort Dodge, la., seconded by Bryan of Ne- braska und John P. Irish of California. Mr, puncombe is the farmers’ friend who draws a big salary as & rail- road attorney and writes anti-monopoly speechos for democratic conventions, porfectly consistent actions, of course. Mr. Bryan—but everybody knows what sort of an exploded phenomenon he is. Mr, Irish left Iowa about a dozen years #go because he couldn’t bo elected to office, and before he left said in his papor, *“T'he democratic party is dead, its odor is rank.” What a precious trio o boom the candidacy of an honest man, ‘tion must lead to the conclusion that the WHO IS MOST A Every intelligent observer of the politieal situation cannot fail to venlize | that the vital question to ba dealt with | is, who can carry the doubtful states in 18027 The important doubtfui states | are New York and Tndiana. Who is most likely to carry New York and Indiana? Tt is admitted that the doubt- ful states will exert a strong influence on the canvention, and it is munifestly proper that the sentiment of the repub- licans of those states should bo givon its due weight. What does 1t appear to be from the nction of the state conventions? Indiana’s delegation to Minneapolis was instructed unconditionally for President Harrison, and there has been no voice of any influence in that state raised against this action. Nobody whose opinion is worthy of considerntion pretends that any other republican would be stronger in Indinna than the president, and it is question- able whether any other would be as strong. Harrison has always been power in his own state and there is not the slightest renson to believe that he has declined in tho respect and confi- denco of the republicans of that com- monwealth, On the contrary it is rensonable to assume that because of the honor he hus reflected upon the state through the splendid euccess of his ad- ministration that ho is much stronger thero now than four years ago. In New 24 the republican state convention, while it did not instruct the delegatos- al-large, was unmistakably favorable to tae renomination of Harrison. A num- ber of the district delegates are pro- nounced Harrison men und the rank and file of the party are not opposed to the president. There is unquestionably a large clement in the party that pre- fers Mr. Blaine, but it is not prepared to follow Mr. Platt and some other impiac- able opponents of Me. Harrison in sup- porting anybody to beat the president. If this element cannot have the candi- dato it prefers it will cheerfully accept Harrison and give him its support. Mr. Depew probably understands the politi- cal situation in New York as well as any man, and when he says that President Harrison can carry the state again his opinion is entitled to at least equal weight with that of Mr. Platt and other enemios of the president. The republicans would have as good & chance of carrying Now York with Har- rison as with any other man, und a bot- ter chance of carrying Indiana. He would be ns likely us any other candi- dato to carry the othor doubtful states and he would be as strong as any one in the ropublican states. In short, any fair and unprejudiced study of the situa- AILABLEY Minneapolis convention eannot select a stronger and more available candidate than President Harrison. OMAHA'S OPPORTUNITY. The importance of a railroad connoc- tion between Omaha and South Dakota points and with the Great Northern sys- tem has often been pointed out. Our jobvers would derive inestimable bene- fits in trade that is already looking to Omaha s the great western supply dis- tributing point. Back of this trade is the enormous live stock interest. Thou- sands of cattle and sheep that now find a market in Chicago would seek the Omaha market because it isnearer. The railroads north of us are not at all anx- ious to make the connection with Omaha and shorten the haul on live stock ship- ments which now go to Chicago. They cannot be expected to do so until forced to it Right hero is where the importance o the Nebraska Central enterprise is shown. No sooner did the news reach the Groat Northern managers that Omaha was about to vote a subsidy in aid of a road which would at once maie Omaha a strong competitor for a vast volume of northern trade than these managers announced their projectod line between South Omaha and Yank- ton, which has in fact been surveyed. But there is littlo assurance that the line will be built. The idea that it is heralded to weaken the positian' of the Nebraska Central proposition before the people of Douglas county is probably correct. It may safely be assumed that this surveyed line will not be buily should the Nebraska Central enterprise fail. It is bavely possible on the othor hand that when the Nebraska Central road opens this immense northern trade to Omaha, the Great Northern system will eventually be forced to remove the emburgo against Omaha and seck an entrance to this city. The success of the Nebraska Central enterprise will make Omaha the second moat-packing city ‘in the United States. The stock yards will double their cuapacity and millions of capital will be invested in other and larger packing houses. With these improve- ments the population will increase in due proportion, property values in and around South Omaha will advance and another geeat stride in commercial pro- gress will have bean made. HAPPY NEBRASKA FARMERS. With the brightest and bluest of June skies smiling above them and the fields responding amazingly to the influences of the balmy weather, it is difficult for the people of Nebruska to roulize that muny neighboring stutes are suffering from dizastrous floods which threaten ruin to their crops this year. A large portion of the Mississippi valley is flooded, und as the season is so far ad- vanced that recovery from the effects of the water is impossible the farmers look upon the situation with gloomy fore- bodings. In Kansas, Kentucky, Mis- souri, Arkansas, Texas and other states the crop prospects are bad, and in lowa and Indiuna, where it was thought a few days ago that the wet season was over, the farme have again suffered a tre- mendous drenching and much ot the land where corn and other crops ought to be growing is under water, . In Nebraska the crop outlook is very bright, and as the indications are all in favor of a continuance of good weather, the farmers are contented and happy. As the prosperity of the whole state de- pends upon that of the farmers, the peo- ple have good reason to congratulate themeelves upon the prospects of the year. While there is no inclination to rejoice over the misfortunes that have overtaken less favored localities, it ls THE OMAHA DAILY, BE rensonabla enough for the people of Ne- braska to take somo sarisfaction in con- tomplating the advantages which they will gain in the way of plentiful har vests and good prices by reason of the unequal disteibution of the rain. A short crop in the large district now flooded will necessarily send prices up, and unloss ali signa fail the farmers of Nebraska will have wmoney in their purses this fa'l. Tt is no wonder that they woar smiles and count life worth living. SILVER AT MINNEAPOLIS. It now transpires that the object of the renewal of the silver agi on in congress is to exert influence on the na= tional conventions of the two parties. A prominent hullionaire is quoted as say- ing that wherens tho delegates might otherwiso have been glad to shirk the question on the plea that it had been de- cided in congress to postpone the whole suhject, now that congress had taken up the silver issue ngain the conventions will not daro to ignore it. This will apply much better to the Chicago than to the Minneapolis con- vontion, for the obyious reason that there has never been any thought of the lutter ignoring silver. Tho republican party hnas no desire or intention to avoid the silver icsae und its representatives in national convention will undoubtedly declare the position of the party on that question in explicit and unequivocal ms. It is entirely safe to prediet, also, that there will be in tho declara- tion no encourngement for the ndvocates of free and unlimited silver coinage by the United States independent of any arrangement with other nations. The convention will favor a bimetallic cur- rency under conditions that will avoid the danger of bringing the country to the single silver standard which is in- velved in the policy of the free silver vocates. The attitude of the great ma- jority of republicans on this question is 50 well understood that the course to be pursued by the convention is perfectly plain, The party is not unfriendly to silver. fully cominitted to a bimetallic cur- vency. It is responsible for the legisla- tion that makes nearly the entive silver produet of the country available for use as money. It does nos intend to recede from this position'so long as the policy shall be found to work as satisfactorily asit has done. But it is opposed to opening the mints of the United States to the silver of the world, knowing that tho inevitable result of such a course would be to exclude gold from circula- tion and drive it out of the country, de- moralize the financial and business sy tems of the country and produce wide- spread injury from which the agricul- tural producers and luborers of the na- tion would be the largest sufferers. It would be hazardous to predict what the Chicago couvention will do regara- ing silvar. It may ignore it, as the last national democratic convention did, or it may adopt some kind of a straddling compromiso, as a number of the state democratic conventions have done. It will make little differente, however, sinco the party is distinctly on tecord, through the nction of its representatives in congross, in favor of free and unlim- ited coinage. But there can be no doubt that the Minneapolis convention will speak on the question plainly and fuily, and the character of its utterance will boin complete accord with the past policy of the party. NOTHING could be more absurd than opposition to the Nebraska Central pro- jecton the ground that it will banefit only a part of tho city. Every intelli- gent and practical mun knows that any improvement or enterprise which helps one portion of the city must be an ad- vantage to the entire community. The proposition is so obviously sound that it does wot neod extended illustra- tion or argument. The idea that so com- prehensive an enterprise as that of the Nebraska Central, which contemplates a large expenditure of money right in Omaha and permanent improvements which every sensible man admits are needed, will not contribute to the gen- eral prosperity is too feeble to stand serious discussion, Titk mayor was right in insisting that the issue between the chairman of the Boird of Public Works 2nd the street commissioner shall not be allowed to longer interfere with the work of re- pairing the streets. The manifest duty of those officials is to “get togother” and put the streets in proper condition. Besides consideration for the con- venience and safety of our own citizens, Omuha will have many thousands of visitors this and next months whose comfort it is desirable to provide for, at least to the extent of having the streets in passable condition and clean. A LARGE portion of vhe fish supply of the middle states comes from the great lakes, Lake Erie alone furnishing 25,000 tons annually. Fish commssious in the states hordering on the lakes, and also in Canada, are taking measures to still further increase the supply of food fish in those great watol Thereis scarcely any limit to the possibilities of artificial hatching, and the wonder is that the work was not taken up sooner, It might be profitably introduced in many lakes and rivers which now afford practically no fish supply at all. — Tue Baring Bros. of London have wiped up $5,000,000 of the debt which they owe to the Bank of London, The recollection of that day in November, 1890, when the whole financizl world wus shaken by the rumors of the failure of that great ‘banking house, will never disappear from the memory of trades- men.

Applied e Creighton College St .. An interesting lesson in natural philoso- phy, which was called a specimen in acous tics, was given last might at Creighton collero by the class 1n physics. Tho college chapel was througed with poople interested 1n the work and experimonts ol the ciass, After a piano and _violin duet vy F. T, Kennady and J. A, Davis, an odo to music was read by 1. Dolan. 1t was very clever with the exception of the young man’s im- perfect enunciation. D. ). O'Flahorty explained by examples and exporiments some of the sounds by acoustios which belong 1o the hearing. It has for its subject tho study of naturo, the production aud Lhe perception of sound. He exlained that sonnd, strictly speaking, was a sensation which was produced when vibra- tions of a certain character are excited 1n the auditory appuratus of the ear. Vibrations generated by progressive tremors in the at- mosphere aro called sound-waves. Mr. O'Flaherty also explained by example the trausmission of sound from one prong to the other of a tuning fork by vibration. He sad it was on the same priuciplo us that on which thunder shook the ground or the heavy exvlosive breaking and shatteriug window gl Tho particlés of theair and all elastic media ara ordinarily matntained in a stato of equiliprium ana rest, by mutually ropeilant forcos. When any particlo is disturbed from its stable position, it is by an impulse re- ceived from some body foroign to the mo- dium, and it 1ssolicived to return by a force directly prbportionate to the distanco or amplitude of its displacement from that point. The veiocity niso with which it is animated on reaching its return point of original rest {s directly proportioned to the extrome amplitude of its displacement, so that, in virtue of its inertia, it makes an equal and similar excnrsion in the opposite direction. ~ When in its return from this 1t reaches onco more the powt of equlibrium it will have passed over the entiro range of its movement in voth directions. This constitutes one cum- plete oscillation or double vibration, Sponking of tho propagation or refloction of sound, he said tho rapidity of the propa- gation of the tremor through the elastic mecium was, for all tremors produce tho sensation of sound, vastly greater than the velocity: and this velocity of propagation 1s uniform, although the several velocities of the particles of the medium which succes- sively take up the tremor diminish with the increnso of the exoiting force turough a oon- stantly 1ncreasing number of particles. Recently several piocos of apparatus have been devised by which the velocity of sound can be mensurad when tho distance traveled over is only a few feot. It is now possible to malke such experiments, The intensity of sound, it was held, variod inversely as tne square,of tho distanco of the sounding body from tho ear. It is also pro portioned to the squaro of the amplitude of the sound-wave. 'The waves of sound can be roflected like the waves of light, and obey tho samo law, the angle of incidence being equal to the angie of reflection. ‘This was proved indirectly with the aid of spherioal mirrors, though, from the circumstances that the sound- waves are largerj relatively to such reflecting surfaces as can be used the exporiments were far more difficult than with the almost infinitely shorter waves of light. A circular disc with open and closed sec- tions or with sections of different materials, is mado to revolve rather slowly neac a sounding reed in such o way that the sound is from time to time reintorced by reflection. “The result is, that a_sound resembling *‘tho beats" is produced, these alterations of sound and comparativo silonco disapponring whon the disc is made complete, or when its altern- ate soctions are composed of substances hav- ing the same powers of roflection, Sound-waves, he said, were also rendered visible. Recently this feat was accomplished by the German physicist, Topler, who em- vloyed the snap of an electric spark for the generation of tho sound-wave, ana then il luminated it by tha instantgneous light of a second spark. He was thus not only able to see with distinctness a simple sound-wave but also to observe its reflection, refraction and the interference of two sound-waves. The physical theory of music was also sat- isfactorily oxplained by F. T. Kennedy who spoke of the pitch and intensity of sound, the latter bewng mentioned ubove. He ulso showed the musical vibrations, imperceptibie to the eye, per second. He talknd of the fundamental and intormodiate notes in music necessary to make notes har- ‘monious, J. Dauihy treated the subject of vivrations of strings, rods and plates, He said that all sounds ware the result of vibratory motione, and that the vibration of striugs depended entirely on the length, dinmeter, stretching power and specific gravity of the strings. Tt was shown that the sensation of sound was produced by the stimulation of certain nerve fibers of the aural organ, and this re- sult is brought about by the sound waves in this nanner. These waves first strike upon the oxternal car and possibly are, to some slight extont, concentrated by it. After- wards they travel along a tubo and reach the tympanum or drum of the ear, This consists of & thin membrane which closes the cxuernal passage, and which is capable of being set in vibration or of responaing to an immense varioty of waves and impulses, Sourd pipes were slso explained. subject was admirably bandied by McKilip. He dwelt on air being a medium for transmitting sound. He gave examples on miniature pipe organs. “he class 1n physios was assisted in the entertaiument by the class in vocal music, which rendered several songs. the This .

Niovrara Pioneer: The fight being mado by Clarkson, Platt and others within the ro- publican party to defeat Harrison is by no means manly. As much as most republicans would like too sue Seoretary Blaine presi- dent, the men leading the forcos are not of that class that elovates the party or aro true to Blaine. Mr, Clarkson had opportunity to do sowe things whon he was socond assistant postmaster goneral, but he aid not do thom. Because tie was not made one of Harrison's cabinet he is out entirely. Red Cloud Argus: Some say, 3'if you put Rosewater on the national committee, it will make him a bieger republican than some- body else.” The true ambition of avery man ought to bo to bacome big hiwself, by doing things thut are gencrous, broad una manly, and by carrying out the wishes of his party, even when 1t 1s against his own individual wishos. You can't make yourself bigand Rosewater little by doing thingsin a little, narrow, selfish way. Violate the instr tions of tho state convention and you will make yourselves appear little and Kosowater appear big. Crete Vidette: When Rosewater sald he didn't like Richacds it made no difference to the republican party; it weht right on and olected Richards just tho same as if there hadu’t been any Kosowater, Rosewater was not in it then. Now, when Richaras says he does not like Rosowater, the republican party pays no attention to Mr. Richards, but directs that Mr. Rosewater be made commit- toeman from this state, and Mr. Richards is not in it with his opvosition. Mr. Richards will be a delegate, Mr. Rosewator will be the committeeman, but tho republican party wiil be the poss of them both. Norfolk News: Undoubtedly no statesman in the republican party has so large a follow- ing or so many frionds within the party ranks who would rather see him than any other man in the presidential chair, than James G. Blaine. At the same time the warmest und best friends of the plumed knight would not have him nominated by treachery to President Harrison of through the manipulation of such men as Matthew Stanley Quay and Thomas C, Platt. That is the situation in a nutshell. The only way w0 nominate Blaine honorably at Minneupolis would be through the votuntary withdrawal of Harrison from the race befora the ballot- ing begins. Unless that is dono the name of the Maine statesman should not be brought into the contest, and will not be with bis consent., Nance County Journal: The president's administration has been able, cloan and suc- cessful. There has been no scandal or dis- hovesty chargeable to him, which is some- thing that no administration has been en- tirely free from. Undoubtealy he would be the strongest candidate who could possibly be put up at the present time. Ord Quzi: Personally, we would like to seo Blaine as_president, We believe, also, if nominated he would be elected. But tho chances of his election would be greatly re- duced by a nomination rushed through at this late date, Had he not announced long ago that he would not allow his name to be presented at the Minneapolis convention, and had he entered the race early there is livtle douot that he could have been nomi- nated and such a nomination would have been sure election. But at this late date, after declaring that he was not in the race, for him to accept the nomination over the hesd of the man under whom he holds the highest appointive position in the land, would be unjust and would certainly cost him many votes. We do not betleve he would do it. Sutton Aavertiser: Rosewater projudice said: *“‘Richards shall not go to the nationul convention.” Richards prejudice said: “Rosewater shail novbe a member of the national committee.” But repnblican judg- ment stood up and said : “Richards shall go to the national convention and Rosowater shall be & member of the national commit- tee,” and when Ben Hurrison had been nom- inated, Rosewater, the aational committ d tothe managing editor of ] ‘Pull the throtule wide open, and turn this whole machine loose for the repub- lican ticket.” And the weeds of ocalamity waro withored under the burning sunlight of republican trath, and McKoeighanism was Yullml up by the roots and thrown over the lonoo, and whon republicans gatherod 'round theit eamplires on the 5th of Noveinver thoy shook banas and said: “Truly party judg- ment 1s groater thaa porsonal prejudioe, and Harmony is a l)lrger man than Spite.”" (Grand Island Independent: The opponents of Harrison’s nomination are increasing their Activity as the time for the convention is fast approaching. The thing looks a little too much like a scoret conspiracy and Js engin. eered by men, who have not a very savory roputation. 1f Blaine really does not want o0 be a candidat, he ought to have long aga suppressed this work doue maiunly by Platy against Harrison, and if he wauts ndidate he ought not to bave § that he is no candidate, Blaine would bo ny @ood a candidate as Harrison as far as the enthusiasm of their friends is concoerned, but for Harrison speaks his excellent record made during his whole administration, and under all eircumstances it is dangerous and injurious 1 get up & useloss strife, which may lead to bad results in the eloction, Boatrice Express: The Kxpress hopes that no man o Jthe sixtpen who will represent Nebraska at the national conven- tion will undertake to set up his individual will, or his individusl prejudice, against the expressea wishes of the republivans of tho state in state conventlon assembled, wherein Mr. Rosewater was designated as tho party’s cholce for national committeo- man, The repuvlicans of Nobraska knew what they wanted when they refused to roc- ognizo the quarrel against Mr. Rosewater or his enomies. 1tso happened this vear that sov- eral of those who aspired 1o bo delegates to the national convention were men who had somo personal grievance aganst Mr. Roso- water. These men were elected ns delogates, not because thoy were Mr. Kosowater's enemies, but becauso they were satisfactory 1n themeelves. But when they attompted to coerce the state couvention against Ir, Rose- water, the rebuke was overwlelming aod sitive. 70 carry this personal quarcel nto the national councils and ignore tho wish of the state convention is a dangerous abuse of confidenco, and the man who does it will regrot it. The party in this state is not 1 a mood to be trfled with in this matter, and the newspapers that are advisiog it shiould stop their folly if they have rogard for the welfare of the republican party. York Times: It is unquestionably the duty of a representative, whother he bo a legislator; delogate or presidantial elector, to faithfully represent the known wishes of his constituency. To pursue any other courso is 10 be guilty of gross and inoxcusable treach- ery. It is not for him to question the motives of those who have conferred & trustupon him. s duty is to exocute the trust faith- fully, honestly and without reserve. The state convention at Kearney loft no room for | | doubt as to its wishes on two subjects at least. It desired the renomination of Ben- jamin Harrison and it desired that K. Rose- ter should be national committeoman. It had & right to express this wish, and tho republicans of tho state have & right to demand that it be carried out by their ropre- sentatives, 'Che state convention selected four men to represegt the republican party of Nebraska in the Minneapolis convention, and it Lold them plainly what the republican party of Nebraska wanted them to do. For them to refuse to do as requested by the con- vention would be as rank treason to the party as for a presidential elactor to cast his vote for the candidate of the opposite party. They were not chosen to represent thom- solvos, nor their personal piques nor whims, “Phey are to represont the republican party of Nobraska, and if thoy refuss to do so tho consequences will be upon their heaas. It they disrupt the party and overwhelm us in defeat, where victory is easily within our grasp, if they are the ca of turning the electoral vote of the s| over to the inde- pendent party, and of defeating the repub- lican state ticket, they cannot shift the blame nor avoid the responsibility. Lincoln News: The News has but little sympathy for the movement now on foot to induce the Nebraska delegates to the Minne- apolis convention to disobey their instruc- tions in regard to making Mr. Rosewater the member of the national republican ocom. mittee, The presont year, above all othors, should be marked by per- fect good faith among all republi- cans. The Kearney convention made its recommendatiou 1n the intorests of harmony. It is puerile to assert that the eight hundvod and odd republicans at Kearney recom- mended Mr, Rosowater because they feared bim or because he compelled them to. Tho delegates at Kenrney were neither henchmen nor cowards. They neithor oboyed Mr. Rosewater nor feared him. They wors mon who realized fuily the political situation in Nebraska and they mapped out & program which was best calculated to insure success in the coming campaign. The men who are advising tho delegates at Minneapolis to vreak faith and word with the republicans who sent them there are not actuated by zeal for party success. They openly acknowledge that they prefer defeat without Mr. Rosewater than success with bim. They stand before the republicans of the state self-convicted in their efforts to give their party a back-handed blow for the suke of graufying @ personal animosity. Their counsel is unworthy of their own in- fluence and standing ‘in the party. The re- publican party deserves better advice at their hands. It is unnecessary for the Nows 1o either " explaiv its position or apologize for its course 7 in this matter. It js a republican paper and moknowledges no fealty to faction. It de- sires the success of the ropublican party above ull else, and 1t does mnot hesitate to oxpress its conviction that, having accepted the honor from the convention at Kearnoy, the delegates to Minneapolis should either obey the letter and'spirit of the instructions or remain away, Largest Manufacturers und Retallers of = 4BROWNING, KIN(S &S] Clothing in the World, All Wool--- Our great suit sale has been such a suits worth lots more. assortment we have added about 150 new suits to go at these prices also. greatdrawing card that we will con- {3 tinue the prices few days longer. 1$7.50, $8.50, $10, $12.50 and $15 for To keep up the a These suits are from 30 to 45 per cent under price and if your size is amongst them you get a bargain.
