LINCOLN, May 2.—(Special)—The eity campalgn in Lincoln reached the mcute *tage last night when at a meeting of | the Bryan forces at the city, auditortum, one of the speakers, George A. Adams publicly accused Ctty Commissioner King, Wwho is not a candidate for re-election, as having “sold out to the Burlington." The charge was made in connection with the appointment of present Chief of Police James Malone by Mr. King, who | Is in charge of the public safety depart- ment, and it was charged by the speaker that King had sold the appointment of chief of police in return for ofrtain con- tracts with the Burlington. Commissioner King, who has been in Al bealth on account of a stroke of paralysis over a year ago, was sitting with hie wife in the back part of the room. He left his seat, and, walking slowly up the atsle in front of the | $peaker, shouted as he shook his cane | ot him: | “Tou are a falsifier and & monumental prevaricator and I shall sue you for per- sonal damages.” Mrs. King came to her husband and persuaded him to leave the hall, but the incident bas aroused iderable feeling, as Mr. King has taken' no part in m-‘ election controversy, and it appears to be the general opinion that a mistake was made in bringing him into the matter. Speakers at the meeting besides Adams wete C. H. Aldrich, W. H. England, O. ‘W. Meler and others. Guard Officers Must Be Elected by the Company Affected | (From a Staff Correspondent.)

Some women wore ne corsets, others were induced to desert the corset-friends of a life-time to join the ab- surd, disfiguring and unhealthful ‘‘slouch.’”’ But women are now wearing real corsets, and have risen en massé to demand the style and healthful comfort that th¢’ Nemo alone can give. As a result, sale of Nemo Corsets, especially the old, well-known and favarite models, is greater than ever. Nemo Week marks the annual high tide in the corset trade. At that time, dealers everywhere have full lines of Nemo Corsets. You can get the exact model and size you need. Therefore, NEMO WEEK is the BEST TIME to buy Nemo Corsets.
