fTHE world weighs you up or down according to your clothes.
The balance is quite certain to be in your favor if you
wear our clothes. They are not only real creators of style, but
they possess that all-round thoroughbred appearance of fabric and
cut which proves that value ,is counted as well as cost. Yet they
are the most truly economical.

Mysterious Affray.
FLATT8MOUTH, Neb.. May 16. (Special

occurred. After the blood commenced to
flow freely Hyde told Brlssey he had better
go 'and see a doctor and he started with
him, but they had only gone about 200 feet
when Brlssey fell down and expired In a
few minutes. The blade of the knife was
bout an Inch wide and run to a sharp
point, being used for stabbing animals and
entering between ribs would easily reach
the heart.

family resided in this city for about the

boys' were quite "chummy." Robert Van
F!eet and ' Harry drove down from South
Omaha, where they reside and have for
six months, bringing with them three
horses for Perry Marsh, who bought six
at the sales In South Omaha Friday.
Perry Marsh resides in Rock Bluffs and
buys and sells homes for a business, and
Harry Van Fleet usually brings them to
this city for him. Robert Van Fleet In

DUTY OF IDE CHURCH
(Continued from First Page.)
we need science and art and all the kindred
activities that spring from the clever brain
and the deft hand. But most of all we need
the essential qualities that in their sum
make up the good man and the good
.woman; most of all we need that fine and
healthy family life the lack of which makes
any seeming material prosperity but a
glittering sham.
Chance to Do Service.
"If the average man Is brave and hard
working and clean-living. If the average
woman, has the qualities which make a
good wife and good mother, If each has
self-respect, and If each 'realizes that the
greatest thing In life Is the chance to do
service why, then, the future of the na
tion Is secure. We cannot stand up for
what Is good In manhood and womanhood
without condemning what Is evil. We rhust
condemn the man who Is either brutal and
vicious or weak and dowardly; the man
who falls to do his duty by the public,
who is a bad neighbor, an Idler, an In
considerate and selfish husband, a neglect
ful father. So also we, must condemn the
woman who, whether from cowardice or
coldness, from selfish love of ease or from
lack of all true womanly qualities, refuses
to do aright her great and all-essential
duties of wifehood and motherhood. We
admire a good man, but we admire a good
woman more. We believe In her more.
All honor Is due the man who does his
full duty In peace, who as a soldier does
his full duty In war, but even more honor
Is due the mother, for thd birth pangs
make all men the debtors of all women.
No human being has a greater title to
respect than the mother who does her full
duty, who bears and rears plenty of
healthy children, so that there shall be
national growth and not national de
cadence; so that In quality and in quantity
our people shall Increase.
The measure of our belief In and respect
for the good man and the good woman
must be the measure of our condemnation
of the man and the woman who, whether
from vlclousnesa or selfishness or from
vapid folly, fails to do each his or her
duty In his or her special sphere. Courage,
unselfishness, common sense, devotion to
high ideals, a proper care for the things
.of the Bpirlt, and yet also for the things
of the body these are what we most need
to see in our people; these are the qualities
that make up the right type of family life;
and these are the qualities that by precept
and by example you here, whom I am ad
dressing, are bound to do all in your power
to make the typical qualities of American
cltlxenshlp.
Following these exercise President
Roosevelt tendered a- reception to the dele.
gates of the general conference In the Col
lege of History building.

Improvements at Fort Russell.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Msy 16. (Special.)
Captain Welsh, quartermaster at Fort D. A.
Russell, has engaged fifty men for work
at Fort Russell In parking the grounds,
planting trees, etc It Is proposed to make
Fort Russell one of the most beautiful
posts In the I'nlted States. An irrigating
ditch, taken from Crow creek, luua lluuugh
the post grounds, and from this the entire
post will be Irrigated. The grounds will
be plowed up, leveled and seeded, and the
large parade ground will be made as level
as a floor and seeded with clover and blue
grass. To the north and west of the post
five rows of willow, spruce and pine trees
will be planted this season, and In a few
years these trees will form an excellent
windbreak, not only for Fort Russell, but
also for Cheyenne, for the prevailing direc
tion of the wind Is from the west, and th
post Is directly west of the city. Next year
an additional 10,000 trees will be planted in
rows parallel with those set out this year,
and from year to year the work will b
repealed, so that In a few year Fort Rua
ail will b surrounded by (mall forest.
