RUG REASONS.
Only a few years ago rugs were not commonly used and nat
urally there are reasons for "Iheir rapidly increasing popularity.
In tho first place, when you buy a rug you know just how the
complete pattern appears. Then, the designs aro the most beau
tiful of all floor coverings, because, the master1 designers of tho
world havo been working upon them for centuries, Hand tho do
signs of a rug take in the whole floor coverings instead of n small
pattern ns is necessary in matching a enrpat.
Another thing, there is no troublesome mutching or fitting
and no work in putting them down. When you want to .take
them up it is dono in a instant, so you can clean them as often as
desired instead of onco or twice a year. Besides, when
one part of a rug becomes worn it is a simple matter to change
it around and thus get tho full amount of service out of it. When
you move or want to chango them from one room to an
other they always fit.
With all these advantages thoy cost even less than a carpet,
so if you need a new floor covering for any room do not decide
until you see our wide range of rich, handsome rug patterns. Wo
have bought heavily, for we know you will like them. This
enables us to buy, betterand to sell on a very closo margin. The
goods and prices are hero to speak for thomsclves.

Mr. Donaldson hands us a copy of an
Iowa paper which contains extracts'
from tho Vicksburg (Miss) Citizen
undor data of July 4, 18G3. The city at
that time was under siege by General
Grant, tho duration of which had
rendored tho peoplo almost) to a stato
of starvation. Although they had gotten
to a point where mule and cat meat
wore a luxury, tho southerners Btill
had hopes of winning and keeping
Grant and his forces out of the city.
Tho issue of th paper was printed on
wall paper, tho stock of print paper
having become exhausted. The paper
wa3 delayed a day, and when it was
issued it said: "The banner of the
union floats over Vicksburg. Genoral
Grant caught the rabbit; ho has dined
in Vicksburg nnd ho didn't bring his
dinner with him." In that memorable
siego a mumber of North Platte's old
veterans took part, and P. II. Ruddy,
who was ono of them, says ho fired 242
rounds of ammunition in ono day.
William J. Brynn has kicked up tho
biggest row that the democrats in tho
house have faced in many yonra. Al

denounced by tho democrats who tand
behind Chairman Underwood, of the
ways and mearip committee, and n pro
gram for a tax on raw wool, and en
thusiastically praised by tho democrats
who opposo Underwood, Speaker Clark
and other democratic leaders.
The Tribune likes Curtis and tho
people in that section of tho country,

see the school a failure,
