We wish you would then you would know what we really mean when we say "guaranteed rust proof." It is not enough for a corset to shape well it must wear equally as well as it shapes. Every day it must prove its virtue through shaping comfortably, wear ing without splitting, with out breaking or rusting in these "piping hot" days that test even the best corsets.

New Cafe for Red Cloud Those who are so Unfortunate as uot to have a loving wife to provide the noeessary comforts of home ns well as thoso who, through business cares, are required to take their mealsdnwii town will be pleased tolearti that Red Cloud fs to have a metropolitan restaurant. Ou or about September 1st Messrs Oliver Powell and Clare Pope will em. bark In this lino of business la the building south of the Tepee theater, both these young men are well aud favorably known in this vicinity, Mr. Powell having been engaged in busl. ness here unitll a short time ago and Mr. Pope having elllctcntly attended to the wants of the hungry at the Purl tan cafe It is their intention to cater to the peop e with the best grades of food the market will produce. This combined with courtesy aud real service which they know how to give, will no doubt appeal strongly to the public. We have no complaint to make of the service we are now receiving from the various cafes of the city, but we are of the opinion that Red Cloud will profitably support another establish ment of this kind, aud if tho young men contluue to adhere to tho good business principals practised by tbem heretofore and give the people the ser vice they now promise them it is our prediction that they will meet with success. The Chief welcomes them to Red Cloud's business circle aud wish tbem untold success In thler venture. Three Co. K Men Win At Fort'Snelling Co.

Everyone financially in tcrested in the project as well as others who were in search of information re gardlng the development of the oil field were present, in facjr the attend' ance was so large that even standing room .could not be secured. Pretty good evidence that the people of Red Cloud and vicinity are deeply, interest ed in learning what lies beneath the fertile soil of Webster county. 'Also judging from the number of new sub. scribers added to the list in the last few days it Is evident that they are willing to back their curiosity with ttie cash necessary to make a test. President W. L. Weesner called the meeting to order, requesting Mr. Pat terson to tell the people why they were assembled there. This gentleman Informed them that outside capitalists had become interested in this field and tuat tney were willing to take oer part or nil of the holdings of the com pany and that this meeting had been called for the purpose of placing the matter before the shareholders of the company and that while he would pre fer to deal with experienced oil men, he wanted the matter placed before the people whose money is at stake. After considerable discussion it was decided that the stock should not be disposed of to outslue capital, as the required amount could be raised local ly. Secretary Stewart was called upon and stated that the amount of 24,930 had been secured and subscriptions were still being secured. il'he mooting then aiHhorlzft the directors to proceed nt once with de tails of ordering material nndicftiDg the contract for tho test well. Many more interested people came forward and subscribed for various amounts of stock In the undertaking, and judging from the way the people are subscribing it is a matter of but a short time until the specified amount of stock is disposed of and active oper ations will be begun.
