IS rather a difficult article for a man to
buy right in most shoe stores, that is to
get it to fit him and suit him, and wear

shoes are sold that look well at first,
and don't wear as they look, that it
troubles a man to know where to pur
chase his shoes.

Not a Candidate.
The report has gamed circulation
that John E. Eyans would be a can
didate for the republican nomina
tion for representative from this
district. Tin: Trujunu, however,
is authorized to state that Mr.
Evans will not seek a renomination.
Tin: Tuiiiuni: is of the opinion
that the earnest work of Mr. Evans
in the last legislature entitles him
to a renomination, but as he is not
a candidate the party must look
elsewhere.

vantage of it.
Mr. Cunningham is a very active
and energetic man, has a good

fident will make a success of his
venture. We are glad to haye him
enter business circles, and equally
pleased to have him and Mrs. Cun

Cowgirl Riding a Steer.
The new woman has found a new
vocation. The "bike" is too tame
for her, the saddle is altogether too
too to her. She is surely ahead of
her time, and anyone who doubts it
and wiahes to be convinced can
have proof positive when the Great
Pan-American Shows, Roman Hip.
podroine, Monster Museum, Ocean
ic Aquarium and Congress of Liv
ing phenomena will exhibit at
North Platte on June 3d and show
the roughest rider of the arena, the
most wondrous new woman ot the
wild westf riding bareback, without
saddlr, bridle, hue or halter, a great
surging, leaping, bucking bovine
a regular Texas steer. The hand
some, graceful, fearless rider far
outstrips any horsewoman or bi
cycle champion of the day. No one
should miss seeing her.
