The new styles for spring. Volumes could be written on the
beauty, grace, elegance aud novelty of the spring styles in women's
apparel and after all what an incomplete picture it would be for
how could one within the scope of an advertisement, even begin to
do justice to an array of Coats, Suits and Dresses that represent the
best work of the foremost designers.
You are interested in every woman is interested in new
clothes for spring, and so the only sensible thing to do is to visit the

Souvenir spoons add the final touch of refinement to
any table service. Consequently there is no other gift
so inexpensive which a woman admires and apprec
iates quite so much.
There is no other souvenir which will' remind n distant
friend of you or your city as well or ns often, and cer
tainly no gift is better in taste.

' Bicyclists Fined.
As announced in these columns Tues
day, warrants were issued that day for
'Re arrest of ten or twelve citizens
charging them with n violation of the
ordinance prohibiting riding bicycles on
the sidewalks. Seven of the warrants
were served, and Chas. Herrod, W. R.
Moloney, John Tucker, Harry Huff
man, Harry Mahan and John Tighe ap
peared in court, plead guilty and each
sentenced to pay a fine of $1.00 and
costs nmounting to $-1.40. Following
this action on the part of Chief Otten
and Police Judge Warren, an order was
issued by Mnyor Patterson remitting
the fino and costs assessed. This order
resulted in a conflict of authority,
Judge Warren declining to obey the
order of tho mayor, and refusing to
mnkc the refund to the defendants.
Mayor Patterson took tho stand that
tho issuance of tho warrants and tho
arrest of the parties was sufficient
punishment nnd that in tho future they
would comply with the ordinance,
Stubs Cunningham.
Mr. Editor: It seems tu me, as a
taxpayer and water consumer of North
Platte, that Mr. Cunnighnm has placed
himself in a very embarassing position
by asking the people of North Platte to
support him for water commissioner,
when you stop and think of the treat
ment extended to tho people by him
as manager of the North Platte Water
Co. in the past two years in imposing
on tho water consumers in every man
ner possible, and I for one hope that
the voters of North Platte will wake
up on electinn day and show Mr. Cun
ningham that they do not need him to
manage the city water works for them.
Hershey Welch is just aa compstent to
handle it as he is, so wake up, voter of
Ntrrtn finite, anu on election day elect
Mr. Cunningham to step down and out.
Let htm follow his water comminv as
they Will, no doubt, need him elsewhere
to work for them against the water
consumers as faithfully at ho did here
in North Platte. So, fellow citizens
when you go to the polls on election
day don't forget the $85,000.00 worth
of junk that Mr. Cunningham and the
water company unloaded on you and
show him, by voting for Hershoy
Welch, that you do not tolerate it and
forever bo done with the water com
pany and its henchman,
