The sign reads, "Oeneralo Mark von Lovons

Ono of tho most attractive displays Is tho
oxhlblt of Mr. H. P. Slovens. The sign reads

out that conclusion. A larger and hand
somer display of tho kind has seldom, If over,
been seen In Lincoln. Thoro nro ten kinds of

slua lemons nacked with iirtlhVfnt iinwnr.
nnd tinseled strands, a very pretty thing thnt

tho profits go Into the general fund.
Just beyond is a plntfonn scale, where Miss
Adelo Wado and other young ladles doter

queerest kind of a Hguro thnt excites a great
iiiwi ot comment, it bccius to bo n cross be

is mounted on a pedestal, swatliMl In yellow
nnd blue hablllmonts, nnd holds a sot of
scales in his extended right linnd, as if to
assure all of exact weight
In a little nook, almost concealed by neigh

table behind which nro Mrs. Paul Holm, Mrs.
Paul Homier and MIrh Hmlln TWVn,- ,,.,!,. ..

As you turn tho comer you encounter a

Is decorated with flags, laco draperies and
Chine o Inntcrns. Tho slgu reads "Sulker

Across tho oast end of the room Is n long
building thnt serves for n general storo and n

from tho sign, "Post Knntor," but tho former
reads American, "Winkel in Nedorland."
The tilaco Is ornnmentod with num. n,ic mui
