The cornet solo by Frederick Austin of the Madrigal club , was well rocolvoi and although the selection was very wcl ondoroi , yet Is not uecossaiy to loav ho bounds of Omaha to find cornet play era who can execute equally as well a did Mr. Austin.

UP-STAIRS. UP-STAIES AGAINST the WO It can be set down as a settled fact that since the opening of the Misfit Clothing Parlors in this city , Omaha City is the best place in the country to obtain really fine Custom-Made Clothing at low prices. The Misfit Parlors are bring ing here the choicest work of the leading Merchant Tailors through the east and west.and retailing it at prices that do not represent in many cases the cost of sponging , cutting- , making and trimming ; certainly you could not expect better rates than these , We buy low because the tailor has either to sell his misfits or uncalled for garments to us or sell them at auction.
