leaders of correct clothes fashioning ALL AT HALF PRICE.
We firmly determine no single garment shall remain for next season's selling, and this ia
how we will force the selling of these world-famed garments. Herein are combined (with.
out the penalty of the prohibitive price) all the to-order style, the to-order pattern choice
and withal a price half even our usual profit-sharing one. ....... J

CARNIVAL FORCED TO LEAVE TOWN
Schuyler fa A.11 Torn VP Over the
Matter.
SCHUTI.ER. Neb., June 30. (Special Tel
egram.) The town of Schuyler Is In great
excitement tor.lght over an Injunction suit
which grew out of the City of Dixie carn
ival show which had been giving street
performances for the last two days. Judge
Hollenbeck of the district court granted
the injunction upon the application of
Henry Bolton, a merchant, and the man
ager of the show, Mr. Thompson, was
placed under bonds of 200 to await trial.
The ohow left town tonight for Norfolk.
'This Is a case of one man against the
town," said Representative Zuelow, one of
the most ardent supporters of the show.
"The show was the most orderly that ever
came to town. There was not a bit of ob
scenity or disorder about It and the citi
zens generally were In favor of letting It
stay throughout the period scheduled for,
up to tomorrow."
"I had no fight on the character of the
show," said Mr. Bolton. "There Is a state
law which forbids a show of this kind to
occupy our public streets, and because this
how violated that law I opposed it."
The how attempted to secure vacant
lots belonging to the Union Pacific, but
failed. The same attorney who represented
Mr. Bolton represents tne union racmc
here.
When Mnnaeer Thompson of the show
was arrested and required to give $:00

Dakota County Judsre Has Pec&llar
Case to Deride.
DAKOTA CITY, Neb.. June 30.-(Speclal.)
County Judge J. J. Elmers had a very
perplexing problem to solve yesterday aft
ernoon, which as yet remains unsolved, he
having taken the matter under considera
tion pending investigation. The question
at issue is: Can an Indian formerly mar
ried to a squaw under the customs of the
tribe, afterward dissolving partnership with
his wife under tribal customs, be granted
a marriage license under the laws of this
state to remarry, no divorce having been
granted either party, and the former wife
having remarried according to law? The
matter came up by Charles E. Decora, a
Winnebago Indian, 32 years of age', apply
ing for a license to wed hlB Inamorata, a
squaw of the Winnebago tribe, 21 years of
age. Armed with a communication from
George W. Ashford, banker at Homer, ad
dressed to the county Judge, who stood
good for the license fee. Decora, who is a
good looking specimen ot the Indian tribe,
being about six feet tall, well bronzed,
smooth faced and blessed with all the
characteristics of his race and speaking
good English, appeared before Judge
Elmers and made his wants known. The
application was made out In full by the dis
penser of licenses when the question was
asked Decora if he had ever been married.
"Yes," said he, "about seven years ago
I married a squaw, under Indian custom,
by the name of JesHln Greenhalr. We
lived together a couple of months, when I
wanted to get married the legal way, and
she wouldn't. We then parted, according
to Indian custom, and about five years ego
she was married in a legal way to Oliver
Lamere, another Winnebago, at Pender,
Neb., and they have several children. Now,
I want to get married the legal way to my
Indian wife and can't see whyhey won't
give mu license. I never get divorce,
neither my wife, but we quit living to
gether under Indian custom."
Under the conditions, neither having se
cured a divorce, Judge Elmers refused to
Issue the license until ho could muke fur
ther Inquiry into Indian customs and ways
through the Indian agent at the Winne
bago agency, who has been written to.
Much perplexed as to why he could not
be married the legal way, Decora went to
where his Indian maid had been patiently
awaiting bis return, sitting in their buggy
with a blanket over her hed. Decora,
vnon being refused his license, said:
"Well, don't care much, anyhow; live
with my woman Just as I have been under
Indian custom. Won't bother any more
guess about getting married legal way,
though Ashford wanted me to get married
that way." And getting in his buggy drove
back to the agency.
