pet houses at prices that are considerably below the market. We are going to offer these
Rugs at prices that will save you money over any price you have ever had. These Rugs are
from one of the best known mills in this countr and are not seconds or imperfect goods, but
every rug is of the highest quality in its grade and perfect in workmanship and color.
Prices do not tell you much without seeing the quality. We have not tried to buy the cheap grades,
but the standard medium priced rugs that give you good satisfactory service. In this lot will be three
grades of velvets, five grades of Axminsters, two grades of Wiltons and several of Brussels; all in room
sizes 7 ft 6 in x 9 ft, 8ft 3 in x 10 ft 6 in and 9 ftx 12. We will also have a large assortment of small
rugs 27x54 inches. We are not quoting prices in this advertistment for the reason that you will have to
see the goods themselves to know what the saving will be, but we wish to say that it will pay you to buy
your rugs at this sale. -
We will have these goods on display in our windows this week and they go on sale Satur
day. Be sure and come.

Advertisements for new bids on tho
proposed bridge to be built cast of this
city on tho Lincoln Highway were re
ceived liero lust week by County Clerk
Yost, and nre now being published.
Tho advertisement calls for tho open
ing of tho bids on May 21st.
A number of changes havo been
mado In the bridge. Tho advertise
ment now calls for bids on a twenty
foot steel bridge or a twenty-foot con
orcto arch bridge, tho sixteen-foot
bridge being out of favor with tho
men at Lincoln as w11 as tho county
commissioners. Stato Engineer G. E.
Thompson has completed tho plans
and specifications and thoy will bo
hero shortly.
Tho old advertisement called for a
deposit of a certified check of $1,000,
but tho new one calls for a doposit of
$5,000 to Insure tho county and stato
against refusal to accept tho contract
and against other compllcalotns simi
lar to those Avhlch arose over tho first
bid,
From all Indications work on the
budge will bo started early In July.
While tho delay In lotting the contract
vis a great disappointment to all, tho
fault was not with the county commls
Hioners, as they did all they could to
bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion.
Undor the ruiuirempnts of tho nd
tisi'inent no bids will bo accepted that
i,o nor Include making tho fills. Thoy
v. re made soparato bids the other
timo and some difllcultios aroso ovor
tho mutter., A bid on tho ontlro
bridge from bank to bank Is much
mora doslrable for the reason that tho
ono company Is responsible for all tho
work and there can be no shifting of
tho responsibility.
Men who know nre f the opinion
that there will be no trouble getting
plenty of good bids for the building
of the bridge.
