SUITS
That Sing of Spring
A N HOUR spent among our Suits will
be like attending a reception where
everyone ptesent is a gentleman or gen
tlewoman. Breathing the latest breath of fashion,
but lacking that coarse "loudness' that
some folks mistake for smartness, our
Suits are a treat to see.
Not one of the models is common-place
all different, yet all alike, in perfection
of fit, finish and construction.

Colonel W. J. Brynn spoilt Saturday
evening and Sunday In North PlattJ
and delivered fliroo addrossos. Satur
day evening he delivered a political
address at tho Lloyd to an audit nre
said to have numbered flvo or six
hundred.-Sunday morning ho delivered
an address at the Presbyterian church,
taking for his subject "Tho Christian
In Politics." The attendance was larger
than the seating capacity and many
etra chairs wore usod. Sunday after
noon he spoke on prohibition at tho
Keith to an audience that packed the
house, the area space bolng crowded.
The prohibitionists bellove that ?Ir.
Bryan's address Sunday afternoon will
show Its effect In the dry vote at the
election today, and this surmise is
probably correct.
