These Suits have not been marked up to $30 or "down" from $30, but they are
genuine values for the price, and we guarantee them to have a better quality and
style than any Suit you can buy in any other store in Lincoln for $15.00. Our
windows are full of them, and we ask you to see and compare them with Suits
that sell for more money in the high-rent district.

Fortune for Dailey's Sister.
The great comedian. Peter Dailey,
who brought joy to thousands during
his lifetime, has been the means of
brightening the future of at least one
person after his death. When Peter
Dailey died at Chicago recently, he
left an estate of $60,000. to be divided
between his brother and sister. The
brother. Robert Dailey. an actor, was
easily found, but more trouble was ex
perienced with the sister. At last,
however, the lawyers traced her to
Danville. Penna. They found the sis
ter. Mrs. Chrries Burnell. working in
the kitchen of a hotel to keep herself
acd her invalid husband from starva
tion. Presumptions.

Easy Remedy for Bad Roads.
The remedy for bad roads, it seems
to me. lies wholly with the men who
own property along them, says a
writer in Outing. Elect no man to
the position of overseer who does not
understand how to make good roads
out of poor ones. If there Is no such
maa in your neighborhood, hire one
from outside. Have your road tax
paid in cash. Secure a skilled man.
and let him assume responsibility for
the work he undertakes. If you do
this, yon stand in a fair way to solve
the problem of good roads.

Yamano-mura. Shinxaki, has been ill
since September last with a malady
which tailed to yield to ordinary treat
ment. During the present month his
wife got into the hands uf two pro
fessional exorcists, who persuaded her
that her husband's trouble was due
to the spirits of a fox and a badger,
which were tormenting the unfortun
ate man. Having been allowed to take
charge of the ease, the two men built
up an enormous charcoal fire, to
which for six days they exposed the
patient on the pretext of driving out
the evil spirits. In addition, they
poured boiling water over the sick
man's back. The natural result was
that the unhappy man's body became
covered with burns and he is now in
such a critical condition that it is mot
exnected that he will recover-

RED CLOVER FOR SEED.
Method
of Growing ta
Piupei Results.
The ordinary method of growing
ed clover Is to cut the first crop as
soon as it is ia full bloom, and them
taking chances of getting a seed crop
from the second cutting. This is gen
erally a chance and only a chance.
Frequently the conditio, of the
weather and the press of farm work
delays the first cutting until the heads
are all brown aad sometiaaes
and then, unless there is a
favorable season, there is mot time to
mature a second crop before frost,
which sometimes happens la the lati
tude of central Iowa by the middle of
September, earlier north and later
south, but generally not until about
October L Immense crops are
sometimes grown in this way. Vat
after an It is a chance. When Hover
seed Is five dollars a bushel or
under, the farmer will usually get
more clear money by using this sec
ond crop for pasture; or. if the seasoai
is favorable, for roughage, by which
we mean a second crop of clover hay.
When clover seed rises to eight aad
ten dollars, or, as this year. $14 a
bushel, it is worth while to take some
special measures to secure a seed
crop.
Two or three ways have been sug
gested. One is to pasture the first
crop until about two weeks before
it would ordinarily be cut. which ia the
central portion of our territory would
be about the 10th of .June. This
while it will not Insure a seed crop,
will make it much more certain than
the method usually adopted.
When the acreage is small aad the
farmer win give the time aad atten
tion which it requires, says Wallace's
Farmer, it is possible at least ia the
southern half of our territory to take
a crop of clover' hay and add tea
or 15 days to the time allowed
for maturing the seed crop. The
ordinary methods of curing this clover
hay will not be applicable at aO. It
contains too much water and will have
to be cured by curing it first in ths
sun, stirring it frequently with the
tedder, then putting it up in cocks,
putting on caps and letting it cure out
in the cock. The only question Is
whether it is voh enough more for
hay than for pasture, and this will
depend on the condition prevailing oa
the farm.
