NOW WE ARE IN THE SWING OF A
GREAT NEW SEASI IN - SPRING
ft is a pleasure to write it, especially as applied to Women's Wearing Apparel. We are answering
the call of what every woman has upon her mind
•k i
Suits, Coats, Dresses and Skirts
First—a saving on all—we’ll say nothing of the style. You can appreciate that better by actual inspection; but in kind and character, in fit, finish, the tailoring and
trimmings, in cloth, in every detail that goes to make service, our garments are far more superior than O’Neill has ever witnessed at the price. Cloths used in these
suits have never been seen before in O’Neill at this price. All styles aristocrats of a new season, in models distinctively original new in every characteristic, eom- g
plying in every detail. Plain tailored or jaunty belted and plaited or pointed coat styles with full flare gores and plaited skirts; in shades that are most wanted
Sand, Putty, Battleship Gray, Belgian Blue, Navy, the very smart checks, the fancy mixtures and, of course, Blacks. Cloths included Gabardine, Poplin, Coverts. 1
We cordially invite you to inspect this line. I

Stock company in Sioux Falls this

this notice is taken of Miss Hall’s role
in the “Lion and the Mouse,” the
thirteenth performance of the company
at Sioux Falls: “Miss Georgia Lee
Hall as Shirley Rossmore has one of
the best opportunities to show her
ability as an actress that she has had
this season, and she met every demand
of the exacting part in the most
capable manner. Her cool handling of
the financier, her devotion to her
aged and broken father and her love
for young Ryder were artistically
portrayed, while she rose to the
heights of the big scene in the third
act with real dramatic power.”
Harry Bowen got tangled up with
the freight cars down in the railroad

The first train this week over the

in about 5 o’clock Wednesday morning.

that the light fall of snow Monday
with a gentle breeze filled in and bari
caded the tracks. A snow plow
opened up the line Tuesday and trains
were expected in that night but a
freight got hung up this side of Page

'went off the rails. Several hours
1 were spent in readjustment and the
train pulled in with noisy blasts of the

the war department had recently put
in service artillery that shoots a

miles and will shatter any armorplate
