4ND it is surprising how many woman
are being fitted with two Gossard
Corsetsinstead of one.
Then too, it is better to have one corset
for morning wear, and another for after
noon and evening.
Two Gossard Corsets fitted at the same
time and worn alternately will give one
third more wearing service than two pur
chased singly and worn until worn out.
You have from two to six pairs of shoes
nnd the investment is a wise one. Thoy
all look better wear better and feel batter
The same simple reasons apply to your
having two Gossard Corsets.
Many things can be shown you in our
fitting rooms that cannot bo explained on
paper. We will count it a privilege if you
will ask our Corsetieres for-(this informa
tion and furthor proof as to why two Gos
sards are better than one.
A fitting today with genuine Gossard
the original front lacing corsets will be
a revelation to you, in comfort, grace of
carriage and added beauty which this cor.
sets Alone can impart.
Gossard Corsets from $3.50 to $2.").

The Campaign is On.
At ono o'clock this afternoon tho
campaign for securing $40,000 with
which to erect a Y. M. Q. A. building in
this city will begin, nnd for the next
week or ten days seventy-fivo men,
whoso motto is "success," will wait
upon overy man in North Platte, and
not a few ladies, The campaign will
start with vim and vigor, the "line I
will be bucked" from the first minute
of "the play" and there will be no lot
up on the strenuous work until the
hand on the dial reaches forty thousand.
Tho committee is composed of men of
energy, and they will put into this
movement all the force at their com
mand; there will be no halting; no ob
stacle will be too great to .surmount;
discouragement will bo nn unknown
factor; the goal has been set and it
will be reached.
As a preliminary to this great and
good work, a banquet was held in the
parlors of the Presbyterian church last
evening when seventy-four men and
two ladies surrounded the five tables
and were served with a fine spread by
the ladies of the church. Following
tho meal, hddiesses were mnde by
btato Secretary Bally, Secretary Rose
of the Grand Islund association, and
Secretary McKim of the St. Louis as
sociation. Letters of reg'et wore read
from Bishop Boeehor and Genl. Mana
ger Ware, of tho Union Pacific, both of
whom had expected to be present, but
were unavoidably detained by business.
The speakers tulked on the different
phases of association work, how to
conduct a campaign such as is now in
hand in North Platte and the lists of
1300 men presented lis possible contri
butors to the fund. These lists woio
passed among the five groups of com
mittees which bear the designation of
A, B, C. D and E, and each committee
checked'off the nnmes ot the men they
would bee. This guthoting then ad
journed until 12:15 when tliu members
will gather at the Baptist church parlor
for dinner and immediately thereafter
will start out on the campaign.
There is not a man in North Platte
who can gainsay the benofits to be de
rived from a Y. M. C. A. bui'ding equip
ped with all the modern appliances for
moral, intellectual nnd physical growth;
our bojs and :,oung men need such an
institution, and need it bad. The op
portunity to secure such a building is
now here, shall we embrace tho it?
The Tribune hopes our people will re
spond with their accustomed liberality
and by this time next week it can an
nounce that full amounthas been raised.
Hoadquarters have been established
in the Schatz Co. store where State
Secretary Baily will bo stationed as
director general.
To start the subscription, Mr. McKim
nnnounced that the trustees of the
Sidney Dillon fund will contribute
$2,000.
