Now what next? What is most Im portant? Unquestionably "style." Demand that a shoe shall possess "Style." If it has style and little else you want it; if it has Dot style, but everything else, you don't want it. The "Style of a Dorothy Dodd" is unique. It cannot be duplicated by any other maker, because the "Dorothy Dodd" is a totally different construction from any other ladies' shoe made. It holds the foot firmly at the waist (that's the instep), prevents the toes from slipping forward, and thus gives a correct poise in walking. Yet it makes the foot look nearly a whole size smaller. That's curious, and you won't believe it till you see it.

Today the limitation of Tim Sedgwick's contract for the printing of the session laws expired, and under the document to which he attached his potential name when he took the iob he Is henceforth to forfeit to the state a matter of 110 a day until he delivers the goods. There are some fifty pages of the publication for which the final proofs have not been adjusted and It looks as if it must require yet some days before they will be completed, so that if the board insists upon the forfeit, which It Is understood it will do, the delay Is going to take some of the profit. off the 12,000 Job. It Is understood that tha contract will run to about 32.000. The Btate Board of Purchase and Sup plies was today entertaining a large num ber of merchanta from various parts of the atate who are eager to enter into quarterly contracts to furnish suppllea to the state institutions wttliln their respec tive localities.

Ills term expired today and Governor Mickey said he would appoint no successor. Mr. Jones owes his cutting off largely to the State Prison Reform associa tion, which does not like the methods of the deputy as applied to prisoners under his charge. They objected strenuously, and the governor let Jonea die an official death. Another reason lay In the fact that when Warden Beemer took hold he made It one of tha condlilona that he be not burdened with an assistant who holds commission from the governor and not from him. There has been a little frlctioa between the two and the warden shed no tears when Jones dropped out Steward Delahunty will per form Jones' duties. Aiotktr Rhea Hearts. Governor Mickey gave audience today to Sheriff Kreader and Prosecuting Attorney Stlnson of Dodss county, along with Fore mun Howell of the Jury which tried Rhea.
