The Argus recognizes Theodore
Roosevelt as the chosen candidate of
the voters of the republican party In
Nebraska and all the republican states
As sueh we shall support him earnest
ly. Arus.
We were under the impression that
Teddy had renounced all afHlatlon
with the republican party and that he
is going it alone but It seems that we
have been mistaken sinoe our esteem
ed contemporary has declared that he
is the sure enough nominee of the
grand old party.
All gosslpers and tattlers are bad
enough, but deliver us from a woman
who tattles, one who from envy and
jealousy will attempt to blight the
fair name of the woman who has been
her companion by making a house to
'house canvass, telling a tale here and
one there, me thinks I can see the
demon now, as she enters the home of
the one she desires to Injure by unfold
ing her story, she commences thus,
"Oh, I have something to tell you,"
but you must not repeat It, it was just
, told to me and must surely be true, it
is about Mary Doe, or Jane Roe.
Mother says it Is awful, and that I
caunot go with tier any more. You
can see the evil in this tattler now.
She has made the rat thrust, 'stabbed
her young friend in theback with the
piece of false news, and thusshe makes
her rounds from place to place,' doing
all the harm she can. Reflect about
this awful habit of talking too; much,
and shun a tattler as you would a rattle
snake.
The meeting arranged by the (J. A.
v R. of this city to listen to the lecture
' of Hon. R. D. Sutherland op Abraham
Lincoln was quite well attended.
There was not as large an audience of
scholars from the public schools as
there should have been when a sub
ject of this nature Is represented by a
speaker of Mr. Sutherland's reputation
and ability. For the more advanced
pupils, few exercises are more profit
able than to listen to a speech on a
subject with which they should have
knowledge, by a man In whom they
should have some interest, and then
participate with their teacher in a
criticism of the performance. Every
pupil in the twelth grade should have
sufficient familiarity with Linooln and
his times, to judge in some measure
as to the oharaeter of a lecture on this
theme. Every pupil of that rank
should have sufficient interest in a
man who has served this district In
Congress, and Is again a candidate for
such service, to hear an address of the
kind given Monday night with profit.
Mr. Sutherland lacks but little of a
really noble presence. He has a due
voice, a pleasant manner, ease of elo
cution and at times rises to genuine
eloquence of utterance. Of course his
address was essentially an euloglum
of the martyred president, and there
are few people now adays who would
be disposed to detrace anything from
even an exaggerated panegyric upon
the man who for half a century has
been classed with Washington. Lin
ooln was a great, many-Bided character,
and no lecturer can begin to exhibit
him in all his variety and greatness in
a single discourse. One should rather
attempt, not complete portraiture, but
a partial exposition. It would bo in
teresting and profitable to give a re
vlow of the debate between him Htid
Douglas. Another interesting subject
would be the conduct of the wm-.
Another would be the conduct of the
foroigu nffdlrs. His relutlons with
bis cabinet and' congress would pro
fitably occupy an hour. His attitude
to the press of the country, his treat
ment of prisoners, hlsmanner towards
the border states, and towards the
northern opposition, his views on re
construction, and the policies he pur
auod in that regard, are topics each of
which could advantageously occupy an

Just as one turns to a thermometer to learn temperature, so one must turn to this store to learn correct
styles in Women's Wear. We are the recognized barometer in this territory of what, is not only new but
what is correctly new. When a style finds its way to our departments, that alone is a guarantee that the
wearer of that style will be dressed in perfect harmony with the season's most approved fashion, and for this
style satisfaction you pay less here than in any other store in this or other cities.
CLOAKS
The most popular fabrics this season
are Chinchilla, Boucle', Zilelines and
other hairy effects. In short, rough
fabrics arethe stylish thing in coats.
Grays, Tans ane Browns are the
favorites. Buttons are used in large
numbers, are large and to a great ex
tent highly colored.
SUITS
- Suits have jackets 32 to 34 inches
long. In materials, serges are still the
most popular fabric, although there is a
strong liking for hairy 'effects. ,Skirtt
are being made a trifle wider than for
Spring and appear much more graceful.
SKIRTS
Every woman feels the need of an
extra skirt, for either dress or street
wear, and you can get the kinds here
that conform absolutely to the latest
fashion, in both material and cut.
They are made with the utmost care
and you will find exactly what you
want here, at the price you wish to
pay.
We have large, complete stocks of Coats, Suits and Skirts, each and every gar
ment being priced as low as possible, consistent with the quality.
Not alone in the Ready-toi-Wear sections are we prepared for you, but all
through the store we have received the New Fall and Winter Merchandise and will
be pleased to have you come and see them.

The second meettug of the Men's
Educational Association was held in
high school room Thursday evening.
The Association, which, by the wayi
Ibhb yet, not formally organized or
named, showed a great increase in in
terest, and a number new members.
After the roll call, which was quite
generally answered with short talks
on matters of current interest, cited
for the most part from the latest
periodicals, the chairman called on
Mr. I. (X Walker for a song.
Mr. Walker responded with a song,
which he informed us was the favorite
soug of his mother. He rendered it
with unexpected dramatic and musical
ability. Mr. Walker has au except
ional voice, in comdass, volume and
sweetness, and he gives evidence of
thorough culture. If this new organi
zation does nothing more than ac
quaint the community with the extent
and variety of local ability which has
been suffered to exist in onr midst un
known and unappreciated, it will do
a groat work. The subject of the
evening's discussion was then given
hu hour, and of all present, there was
not one who did not have something
to say, and some of the,' suggestions
were very timely and suggestive.
The topic "was, "The changes that may
be made in our Chautauquas to make
them more advantageous to the community."
Among the various suggestions were
the following; First there should be
no permanent platform manager, but
a new manager should be appointed
for each day, who should give bis ser
vices for nothing. This would permit
an additional one-hundred dollars to
be appropriated for talent. There
should be one day devoted to The dis
cussion of subjects of a purely agri
cultural nature. There should be one
day devoted to home talent, musical,
reading, ortorial, inqluding the school
children. Prof. Morltz, with the help
of Miss Coon, was asked to give this
matter consideration, so that the
school children of the entire county
should have a day to look forward to
In connection with the Chautauqua
program.
It was also suggested that, instead
of so many musical companies one
vocalist of high class, such as Excel,
Eiohoru, BUlhorn, should be employ
ed for the entire week, and, in ad
dition to giving selections, should
drill a chorus, aud give a new inspir
ation to the music that is in ue all.
It was thought that one hundred dol
lars might secure the services of such
a man, while that amouut of money
is required to obtaisn one concert
troup for one day's entertainment.
It was also suggested that a critic
should be appointed to follow eaoh
lecturer with a ten minute criticism
of the lecture. The trouble with the
Chautauquas, as now conducted, is
that the lecturers and entertainers
have become the hirelings of the
bureaus, which farm them out, just as
base ball players are bought and sold.
While tbesa bureaus confer some ad
vantages w;ion the talent and the com
munity, they are inpidly becoming a
possible nuisance in their efforts to
tuouopolize the sources of entertain
merit.
What is needed is an organization
of h number of small chautauquas In
to a chuutituquu district, which could
then offer better tewiiB to lecturers
and musicians then tbo bureaus could
do, and thus have a larger choice In
the selection of entertainers and in
structors. In auy event, thu next Red
Cloud Chautauqua will show a decree
of independence of the bureaus.
After an hour's earnest and Interest
ed discussion of the matter, the meet
ing selected as the topic for the next
gathering the desirability of organiz
ing a commerlcal club in the city, as a
branch of- the association. The next
meeting will be Thursday, the 26th at
the High school room. All men es
pecially graduates and undergradu
ates of the public schools are cordially
invited to attend and participate.
Some -additional features, besides the
roll call and discussion are promised.
Remember the hour. 8 o'clock p. m.
