Some, of the members of the najs and

of Nebraska. suggested tint they would
like to see this private contract, announced
by the president In his message as having
been made. The suggestion did not at the
moment meet with the opposition of the
cuckoo members and. In fact, at the time
they thought It would be a Rood Idea.
The secretary was 'phoned to Fend the
contract to the committee, lie replied that
ho could not dp It, but he would come up
to tho capllol to-morrow nnd explain it.
About this time the cuckoo members of the
coinmltlce (oncludeil that It might cause
the displeasure of Cle eland to Insist upon

should dispose of tho matter and at tho

There are many suggestions as to why

believed by some that there Is much moie

given to the public. Many suspicions and
rumors along this line are not of .1 compli

A few words to the carpet
buyer of the present or future:
In this great business carpets
have a leading place. We have
banged away at carpets for
seasons and years. Sold acres
upon acres and miles upon
miles of them thought we
knew the business, but con
stantly found new things to
learn worked and pulled at
this carpet business until we
evolved a carpet store to which
you may pin your faith with
the conviction that you will not
have to unpin it. It is not nar
row in ideas. Its methods are
as broad as the wide lying
floors upon which you choose
your patterns. The home
where money is as free as air
or the other that requires most
careful thrift and all the be
tween the extremes may : up
ply your wants here. The nex.
goods are rolling in on us in tin
greatest quantities, and the p. t
terns, if possible, prettier t a t
ever.
