New Styles!
The fallowing is an extract from one of the leading styU journals:
"Fashions for Spring:, while not indicative of any radical change, are
extraordinarily interesting;. The prevailing; style features of the winter
modes have been developed and improved rather than any attempt having
U t-n made to introduce changes of an unusual character.
Taffeta, in both plain and fancy effects, is the most popular material
for Spring. It is shown in stripes, plaids and in pompadour effects. The
torr.bining of silks with sheer materials is an important factor in dress
fashions for immediate and future wear."
n
For Spring Dresses and Costumes,
our
0
showing of Taffetas in plaids, stripes and plain colors, is all you could wish
for in making a selection. These are all yard wide and are of the soft Chiffon
finish. Chiffons and Georgette Crepes to match Taffetas and Silk Poplins, for
the making of sleeves, vest effects and over-drapes.
The McCALL FASHIONS are the last word in good styles. The new
Spring Quarterly, (just out) is simply filled from cover tc cover with chic styles
for every one.

WOODMEN CIRCLE
HOLDS A SPECIAL
MEETING
SATURDAY
W. B. PORTER PURCHASES
ANOTHER DUROG-JERSEY
It wa necessary to call for a spee
u.l meeting lat Saturday afternoon
f the Woodmen Circle in order To in
itiate a large class of candidates who
Y.vie unable to attend our regualr
-r.irg meetings, largely on account
f the ditance from town or other-
Wise employed during: the week, there- i
fore it has been necessary on Uiffer
tat oc;u: ns to call for a special Sat
urday meeting. A large membership
Turned out to he present at this meet
ing, and Captain Manspeaker had her
t-am in readiness to take charge of
-.he fbr work during the initiation,
i. credit due herself and team and
much praise from the new members.
Ther e is not a member in the Wood-p-.tr.
Circle who does not take pride
in being a member, as is plainly
hf wn by our large attendance at our
tegular meetings, and it stands up
permost in the heart of every member,
-United We Stand." Our chain is be
coming stronger and firmer ar.d no
true Woodmen Circle will allow any
thing but loyalty to the order rule
hr. When we look back to August 8,
11' 12, the date of our charter, with a
membfr?hip of fifteen, and again to
:ay to a membership of more than
two hundred, we certainly have every
jt-ason to he proud and thankful.
The writer has often been asked the
ijuestion, "How is it the Woodmen
Circle is so prosperous?" My answer
s ahvavs cheerfully given thus:
"Harmony prevails in our order, har
njony between officers and members,
all willing to assist where and when
r.e?dfd; next to that comes the un
tiring efforts of our local deputy, Mrs
Dioege, whose aim it is to explain to
every mother the danger in not carry
ing a protection for her family." You
will never find our deputy speak dis
respectfully of any organization
such is not the work of a loyal deputy
but you will find her faithfully
working for the Woodmen Circle.
This year promises to become a
prosperous vear for the Woodmen
Circle. K.
W. B. Porter of Mynard has just
purchased and placed in his herd of
Durock-Jersey swine a bred sow that
he purchased at the sale of A. J. Grot
enhuis & Son of Sioux Center, Iowa.
This fow is a daughter of "Burks
Good Enough," champion of Ilinois
and Colorado state fairs, and now
owned by the Economy stock farm of
Shenandoah, Iowa. She is bred to
the highest priced male pig sold at
W. N. Shank's sale at Worthington,
Minnesota, last fall, he out of "High
Model." that grand old champion of
five states. Mr. Porter believes in
getting the best of the blood lines of
this breed and parties interested can
always find something extra good
there.
Quite a Little Snow.
This morning the residents of this
city were greatly surprised on awak
ening to discover that during the
nisrht there had been a very liberal
downfall of the beautiful snow which
coveied the ground with a mantle of
the fleecy flakes and transformed the
landscape from that of struggling
soring into that of the dead of winter,
During the past two weeks the
nrevioua heavy snowfall has all been
swept away by the touch of sunshine,
and it was thought that perhaps we
would not have any more of the snow
this season, but it seems that winter
is not ready yet to lay down and quit
the game.

home in Cass county and assure them
that these acts of kindness will be
ever most fondly remembered.
A. C. Smith and Family.
The Best Recommendation.
The strongest recommendation any
article may leceive is a favorable
word from the user. It is the recom
mendation of those who have used it
that makes Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy so popular. Mrs. Amanda
Gierhart, Wavnesfield, Ohio, writes
"Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ha3
teen used in my family off and on for
twenty years and it has never failed
to cure a cough or cold." Obtainable
everywhere.

DOUBLY PROVEN
Plattsmouth Readers Can No Longer
Doubt the Evidence.
This Plattsmouth citizen testified
long ago.
Told of quick relief of undoubted
benefit.
The facts are now confirmed.
Such testimony is complete the
evidence conclusive.
It forms convincing proof of merit.
E. M. Buttery, stationary engineer,
Tenth and Walnut streets, Platts
mouth, says: "I could hardly lift any
thing without pains catching me
across my hips. I also had lameness
across my loins and finally concluded
the trouble arose from disordered kid
neys. Doan's Kidney Pills quickly
relieved me." (Statement given June
11, 1906).
OVER FIVE YEARS LATER, Mr.
Butter said: "I still use Doan's
Kidney Pills occasionally and recom
mend, them as highly as ever."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't

We are making a special effort for
the 1910 Spring Season, just opening,
and will greatly appreciate your visit
to our sales room, whether you buy
or not.
I We are very fortunate in secur
ing the services of Miss Murphy, of
Chicago, for our Designer. .Miss
Murphy comes to us very highly rec
ommended from the Gage Brothers Co
of Chicago, makers of the famous
Gage Hat. We will show a complete
line of Gage Hats.
II We have been very fortunate in
our buying for the new season. In
the past few weeks there has been a
marked advance in the price of Hat
Frames, Silks, Ribbons, Trimmings,
etc., as much at 33 1-3 per cent. Our
orders were placed before this advance
in price, and our goods will be sold
at our customary low prices.
III We have bought a much larger
stock this year than usual, and will
show, in addition to the Gage Hat,
others equally good, such as the Knox
Hat, the Edco Hat and the Edson
Kieth Hat. We consider these lines
the best money can buy, regardless of
price.

GERMANS REPULSE
FRENCH TROOPS
IN A HARD EIGHT
Claim Capture of 15,000 Unwounded
Femch Soldiers Terrific Fighting
in the Forest of Haumont.
STORM WORKS OF HARDAUMONT
It's only the paper line that will be
found at the Journal office, but this
line will be found complete. Come in
nd see.
In the great battle centering around
Verdun in which a ha'if million men
are engaged, Champneuville, to the
west and the fortified works of
Hardaumont to the east of Fort
Donaumont have been captured by the
Germans.
Berlin also claims to have captured
the Cote de Talou, to the west of
Douaumont, . but according to the
French official statement, the artillery
fire coming from both sides has ren
dered this position untenable for
either French or Germans.
The French are hurling attack af
ter attack upon the Douaumont posi
tions held by the Germans, who are
declared to be. maintaining themselves
there with difficulty, but in the
Woevre region to the east of Verdun
the French advanced posts have been
withdrawn.';.
Large reinf orcements are being
brought up probably by both forces
and it is reported that the British
lines are being extended in Belgium
and France in order that French
troops may be released for the Ver
dun battle.
Marine disasters are again a feat
ure of the news. Several steamers
have been blown up by mines and it
is believed that the recent great
storms along the coast of England
and in the North sea has set powerful
mines "adrift.
with sanguinary losses, according to
the official statement issued today by
the German headquarters staff. Ger
man troops, it was asserted, had
stormed the fortified works of Har
iaumont, as well as the town of
Champneuville and the Cote de Talou.
The number of imwounded Frenchmen
taken prisoners, it was added, total
led 15,000.
The Official Statement.
The text of the German official
statement follows: .
"Western theater: On various por
tions of the front there were intense
artillery and mine battles.
South of Ypres a British attack
was repulsed.
On the heights to the right of the
Meuse, the French attempted by at
tacks, repeated five times with fresh
troops, to reconquer the armored fort
ress of Douaumont. They were re
pulsed with sanguinary losses.
To the west of the fort our troops
have taken Campneuville, the chief
Cote de Talou and havea dvanced as
far as the nave on the southern bor
der of the wood northwest of Bras.
"To the east of the fort we took
by storm the extended fortified works
of Hardaumont.
"In the Woevre plain vigorous fight
ing is taking place on the German
frontier, the battles extending as far
as the Cotes Lorraine.
"According to information at pres
ent at hand the number of unwounded
prisoners amounts to nearly 15,000.
"In Flanders our aeroplane squad
rons repeated their attacks on the
camp of the enemy troops.
"A bomb attack on Metz by enemy
avitators resulted in the injury or
death of eight civilians and seven
soldiers. Several houses were dam
aged. "In the neighborhood of the fortress
a French aeroplane was brought down
in the aerial battle and by the bom
bardment by anti-aircraft guns. The
occupants of the machine included
two captains who were captured.
"Eastern and Balkan theaters:
There is nothing of importance to re
port." Story of the Attack.
The correspondent before Verdun
of the Berliner Zeitung Ammittag
telegraphs that the operations against
the French fortress began at 8:30
o'clock in the morning of February 21
along the whole sector to the east
ward of the river Meuse, from near
Consenvoye to the neighborhood of
Azannes, with a tremendous bombard
ment lasting into late in the after
noon, uerman niers Kept the r rench
aviators away and prevented them
from making observations.
At 5 o'clock German infantry at
tacked, gaining ground first in the
center to the southward of Flabas
and toward the forest of Haumont.
The whole wooded territory was filled
with baibed wire hinderances, but the
artillery had mowed paths and the
forest was completely occupied by 1)
o'clock in the evening.
The Germans had advanced so far
that a French detachment in the val
ley to the north of Haumont forest
was threatened in the rear, the cor
respondent says, and this position was
evacuated by the French early in the
morning, with heavy losses. The same
co-operation of German artillery and
infantry was repeated the following
day, batteries aiming further to the
southward. The attack began at 5
o'clock in the afternoon on the mining
village of Haumont and within a half
hour the village and the Caures forest
further to the eastward were penetrated.
On February 23 the Brabant posi
tion as well as those in the valley
between Haumont and Samogneux
and including the latter village, were
taken.
Hill No. 344 to the east of Samog
neux and one of the strongest French
positions was captured on the 24th.
On the evening of that date Douau
mont was in German hands. The Ger
mans declare that the German losses
were not very great.

British Lines Extended.
Ottawa, Feb. 27. British lines in
Belgium and France are being extend
ed to replace French soldiers who
are being rushed to the Verdun re
gion to take part in the fighting
"which has settled down to a terrific
slaughter," according to advices re
ceived here from the battle front.
Approximately twenty army divisions
! have been thrown into the battle by
the Germans, while the French troops
number fifteen division, cable mes
sages said.
Berlin, Feb. 27. (Via London,
5:30 p. m.) Five determined at
tempts made by French troops to re
capture from the Germans Fort
Douaumont, one of the outlying
fortifications, were repulsed yesterday
Driving Germans Back.
Ottawa, Feb. 27. The French are
now steadily driving the enemy past
Douaumont despite his spasmodic ral
lies," said a cable message from
France this afternoon by General Sir
Sam Hughes, minister of militia. In
view of the fact that the message said
nothing of regaining or holding Fort
Douaumont, General Hughes is of the
opinion that the fortifications has
been reduced to ruins by shell fire.
