IP THE TRUTH
If the truth was known the whole world would be full of
people with' laughing heads. So it is with some clothing ad
vertisements you read in the daily papers. It the truth was
known it would cause the face of the daily papers to burst
with shame. But such stores livethat is, they live in a kind
of petrified way. Hard-hearted clothing dealers who exist
on transient trade never sell a customer twice always meet
ing strange faces, always doing a strange business. I eople
who trade with this store grow as the store grows they
know us and we know them. They know we swap back it
everything isn't satisfactory. They know that this house is
honest in its business affairs, honest with its customers. I hey
know that the best of everything comes to this house. Only
fysl, we said. They know that our advertisements are con
tracts witlvthe people, and that our name in a garment
places it beyond a doubt as to its worth and wear. (1 hey
know that when the Nebraska says all wool that it is all
wool. They know that no fire sale goods or damaged goods
of any kind in any form find their way into this house. I hey
know that one of the firm stays in New York all the time
looking after the construction of every suit that enters this
house. They know that the lowest possible price is put on
every item that is sold over our counters. Ijhey know that
there is only one price to all. They know this is a safe store
at which to buy clothing and shoes. If you don I know tisn t
our fault. You can have a catalogue sent to your door if
you ask for it. bend tor one, Aciqress

THE OMAHA AGREEMENT
Those mlddlfr-of-tbe-roadur were never
kuown to keep an agreement , and it I
no use to expect 'them to do o. They
all cam to Omaha when tbe national
committee met there and lgnd an
agreement and then violated it before
tbeyfcotout of town. Now they are
calling themselves the people party
and want to get recognised a such by
tbe government of the different states.
Tbey know very well that no paying
deal can be mad unless they capture
tbe name. Mark Hanna wouldn't give
a cent to any one ol them to run a party
ticket uulus tbe political authorities In
the different state recognized them a
tbe peoples party. Tbey bave tartod
out In tbeir gam by winding out clrcu.
tars dated at "Headquarter of tbe Peo
ple party," which they ay i located
somewhere down lu Tola. It is the
most bare faced political fraud that was
ever attempted in these United Btttte.
The following letter from Marlon Dutler
who I the chairman of tbe people party
national committee, elected at the last
national convention ba recently writ-
ton a letter to one of these fruuds, It
io follows:
"Elliott. N.G.Aoril31.1809.
Hon. 8. W. Williams, Viucenne, lnd:
''My Dear Hlr Your esteemed favor ol
April 11 received, and read with interest.
"Tbe conditions which you describe a
now existing In Indiana existed last
spring and summer to a greater or less
extent in every state In the union.
"I believed tben a I believe now, tbat
some of the men behind tbi stirring up
of strife andfaetional feeling bad ulterior
motive, while tbe difference between
the great majority arose from an bonest
difference of conviction a to the best
method to be pursued.
"Realizing, then, tb necessity for
harmony among all true populist
wbose greatest desire is to see tbe prin
ciple of the people'a party platform
enacted Into law and to see the party
live and grow, I called a meeting of tbe
national committee to assemble in
Omaha on June 16. 181)8.
"A you know w bad a full meeting,
and there, with all tb faction and el
nient represented, we discussed tbe sit
uation 111 re day and nlgbte with not
only tb benefit of each other ooloion
but wltb tbe benefit of personal contact.
"The result of tbat meeting waatbe
adoption of tbe resolution wbioh bav
been atyled by the pre a tbe Omaha
aorreement. which resolutions wsr. in
effect, a compromise between all tbe fac
tion and assented to by ail to faction,
and, I think, by unanimous vote of tbe
committee. It was recognised tben tbat
not only would it be improper lor to
national chairman to attempt to outline
a policy for tbe party ahead of tb
national convention, but tbat it would
be unwise for tb full committee to do
so. Therefor tb resolution declared
tbat each stat abould be left to pureu
whatever policy It thought beat to ad
vance tbe or Indole of tb nsoples party
between now and the assembling of tb
national convention In 1000, and tbat
tbe national committee should lend it
support to any action taken by the
state organization In any ate, whether
that organization was standing for a
fusion policy or a middle of the road
policy. .
"It further provided tbat neither tbe
chairman of the executive committee
nor any member of the national com
mittee should attempt eitner airectiy or
indirectly to commit the party by any
bargain or agreement a to tb next
eamputgo ahead of tbe assembling of
tbe national convention and tbe popu
list prese and speakers were appealed to,
to stop quarreling with each other over
methods and to devote their time and
energy between now and 1900 to discus
sing and advocating tne principles 01
tbe people'a party, and that when tbe
national convention met In 1900, with
delegates fresh Iroin the people, that
convention abould lay down tb policy
lor the next campaign to which all fac
tions should accede.
"Bach was tb wisdom and action ol

probably one ol tbe longest sessions tbat
any national committee ever dij, i can
not sue what more couia nave own aone

"All that I can do or aay true oopu-

before either one of the old party
national conventions assemble, as
agreed on at Omaha, and there and
then surely the party in deiigate conven

than any one else can.
"I regret tbat som of our newspaper

No further consideration should be
shown any of these frauds. We don't
want them and the populist party will
be a groat deal better off without them.
They bave organized a new warty and
nominated that old ex-national banker,
Wharton Darker for president. Every
time the bead of one 01 them Is seen In a
populist convention It should be bit
with a hickory club. Let them bunt up
a name of their own. Oce thing I cer
tain, Tbey will never be able to steal
the honorable name of tbe people
