Cold Weather
Comforts
Our Conl is the best cool weather comfort
that you will be able to find in town. These
chilly fall winds will soon turn into winter
and you will need the comfort that our coal
will give you. Better order early to avoid
disappointment!? when an extra
chilly day comes.

Mrs. Charles Hipp who has been
visiting at the home of Mr. Dill, de
parted Wednesday for her home in
Lyons.
LINCOLN, Dec. 0.IIow the va
rious Htatc institutions will be able to
get through the next eighteen months
without serious deficiencies is a prob
lem that is now worrying the gover
nor. The first semi-annual reports of
the heads of the institutions, filed
since the new appropriation became
available, shows that in practically
all of the institutions the cYncndi-
tures are away beyond the amount
that had been set aside for their main
tenance for that period of the time.
The deficiency so far has occurred in
the summer months, so when the coal
bills arc paid and the added expense
of taking care of the institutions
through two winters is considered,
the deficiency is liable to be large.
Splendid Mules.
i- K. Parmele bought a very fine
span of mules in Ccrcsco, paying Silo
for them. They are beauties and quite
large.
