MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21,. 1S16. PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. PAGE 6. j - - - 0 n New Styles! u The following is an extract from one of the leading style journals: "Fashions for Spring, while not indicative of any radical change, are extraordinarily interesting. The prevailing style features of the winter modes have been developed and improved rather than any attempt having been made to introduce changes of an unusual character. "Taffeta, in both plain and fancy effects, is the most popular material for Spring. It is shown in stripes, plaids and in pompadour effects. The combining of silks with sheer materials is an important factor in dress fashions for immediate and future wear." For Spring Dresses and Costumes, our showing of Taffetas in plaids, stripes and plain colors, is all you could wish for in making a selection. These are all yard wide and are of the soft Chiffon finish. Chiffons and Georgette Crepes to match Taffetas and Silk Poplins, for the making of sleeves, vest effects and over-drapes. The McCALL FASHIONS are the last word in good styles. The new Spring Quarterly, (just out) is simply filled from cover to cover with chic styles for every one.

Most Hollanders now believe the war will end in a draw. This information is gleaned following recent conversations with Dutch leaders at The Hague and in Rotterdam and from well informed Hollanders here. The Dutch believe Germany has ac complished about all she is going to accomplish in the war. Being in close touch with Germany, they realize the Germans are suffering severely. Nevertheless, the Dutch do not be lieve that Germany can be crushed. They think i-he can hold out indefinite ly, no matter how terribly she may suffer, or how great permanent dam age may be wrought to her people by continuing the war. The Hollanders believe both sides will find a deadlock has been reached end will be ready for peace about the end of the present year. Dutch leaders will be satisfied with this solution. They believe a decided victory for one side or the other would le detrimental to Holland's interests. They believe the victor would insist on complete control of the River Scheldt, paring off a slice of Dutch ter l itory. New Arrivals! KINK FARM FOR SALE. ICO acres, being the S.

LB' MSQUEMOE VERY mm J GRAND SUCCESS GREA T BRITAIN IS TD BE SPURRED UP Time for an Answer to Protest on Mail Seizure Appears to Be at Hand. The masquerade given Saturday evening at the T. J. Sokol hall by the young ladies turning class was a most successful affair in every way, and a very large crowd was present to take part in the pleasuers of the even ing. The evening was one of the rarest pleasure, without anything to mar the enjoyment of the dancers as they moved to and fro to the music furnished by the Holly orchestra. The dance, which was conducted by the young ladies, was throughout very pleasing, as the attendance shows, and it was with regret that the strains of the home waltz was heard by the mem bers of the party as the signal for the home-going hour. It was one of the most largely attended dances that has been given for some time at this hall. Sales bills aone quickly at the Journal. W. R. EGENBERGER mMLm Wood, Bailed Hay and Feed!

Unless Great Eritain replies to the American pro test against interference with mails Lansing will address to the foreign of fice a supplementary note reminding England that an answer seems due. It was announced yesterday the state department feels there has been ample time for London to frame a re ply, despite the admitted necessity for a conference between England and her allies. It has been reported at various times that England has been having some difficulty in obtaining whole hearted approval of her action by France and Russia because it is be lieved at Petrograd and Paris that to express such approval would set a precedent that might bind those countries in the event they are in the future enemies of Great Britain. The American protest was present ed more than a month ago. Councellor Barclay of the British embassy yesterday afternoon laid be fore Councellor Polk of the department a number of complaints contained in British consular reports regarding the seizures of British property in Mexico. Birth of a Fine Daughter.

The mother and little daughter are doing nicely and the proud father will be restored to nor mal condition in a few days. As Frank says he now has three daughters and two sons and three queens and a pair of jacks are mighty hard to beat, and the little daughter is the object of a great deal of admiration from the brothers and sisters.

He expired shortly afterward. Judge English was born in Kenosha, Wis., and after finishing his common school education read law in a law office at Racine. Wis. From there he came to Omaha. That was in 1SS0. For several years he was in the office of James M. Woolworth, one of Omaha's pioneer lawyers and citizens, and later became a member in the firm of Hall, McCulloch & English.

In li07 he was again elected to the office and served con tinuously for six years, retiring to private practice upon the election of George A. Magney, for several years his chief deputy.

H. SEN NICUSEN George W. Berge, of Lincoln, democratic candidate for governor, sent the following letter to Mayor C. W. Bryan Saturday in reply to Mr. Bryan's statement: "Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 19, 1910. Mayor C. W. Bryan, City. Dear Mr. Bryan: In last evening's papers you say that before you announced your candidacy for governor you urged vari ous prominent democrats in the state to become candidates for governor, among them such well known demo crats as Judge Edgar Howard, Hon. W. H. Thompson, Judge J. J. Thomas and Hon. I. J. Dunn. You also say: 'I also wrote to Hon. J. S. Canady and endeavored to interest him in the state contest.' "You do not say you urged Mr. Canady to become a candidate for governor. Maybe you urged him to take another place on the ticket. "Except Mr. Canady none of the democrats named by you have been recognized by the people as dry men. You say, however, that you would still like to see one of those named by you file for governor, and you say: 4If one of the above named democrats will volunteer his services as candidate for governor I will glad ly withdraw from the race in his favor.' "I will assume, of course, that you make this statement to the public in good faith, and I will now say to you and to tne democrats of the state that if you will agree to withdraw from the race I will do likewise and we can then both be united , with the demo crats of Nebraska in drafting either Hon. J. S. Canady of Minden or Judge J. J. Thomas of Seward into this race, and present a united front in the cam- See us about your wire now before prices get too high. We have in stock a large quantity of the American wire, at the RIGHT prices. issfis1 paign to win a great democratic vic tory. "I have known both Mr. Canady and Mr. Thomas for abouty twenty years and no better men live in the state than these two worthy demo ciats. Neither one of them can re fuse a draft to public service under conditions as they now exist, and I hope you will join me in bringing about this much desired result. Neither one of these men might volun teer to enter the race under the cir cumstances, but I am sure either one will respond to a call. "Will ycu agree to the proposition? Yours truly, "George W. Berge."
