At present there are no provision for
voting bonds for this piupo, according
to Ueorge Craig, city engineer, who Is ac

provision.
Councilman Sheldon will introduce an or

Mr. Sheldon, who has been agitating
better garbage conditions fur some time.

question of garbage disposal.

WHAT'S BECOME OF MEMPHIS?

(' Omaha Accepted the
Cballenaes.
The city dads of Omaha are wondering
what has become of the contests that the
city of Memphis. Tenn., proposed some two
weeks ago. Along about that time chal
lenges were received by the mayor, the
chief of police, thief of the fire depart
ment, superintendent of schools and a host
of other organizations about town, pro
posing contests In the various depart
ments. .
These defies came ao thick and fast that
the Omaha officials kept the messenger
boys humpbacked carrying lengthy tele
grams accepting the challenges.
Bo eager were the Omaha officials also
to get a crack at the Memphis propositions
that they couldn't wait for the malls to
carry the acceptances. They sent them by
wire.
After waiting a reasonable length of time
the Omaha chiefs are getting weary. Like
wise, they are figuring up the deficit.
which comes of sending seven night mes
sages to the southern city. They have also
come to- the conclusion, that Memphis slip
ped one or a series of ones over on them.
not a reply to an acceptance has been re
ceived, though the Memphis challengers
were given the privilege of naming all conditions.
I guess they slipped one over," said
Mayor Dahlman Saturday morning. "It
was an unique advertising scheme, but
Memphis probably reckoned without Us
hosts when It hurled, that bunch of defies
along thla way.
"They are probably willing to acknowl
edge that they ran up against one western
town that wasn't afraid to take a chance
with the prohibition city."

Good Queen Bess, here represented as receiving Sir Waiter Raleigh at court on his
return from America in 1578, was queen of England during the period which is known as
"Elizabethan." So fragmentary is the material mailable on furniture making prior to this lime that, the chronological arrangement is
begun with this date. Even patterns of the days of Elizabeth are few, for it takes excellent craftMiienship to survive three centuries, bm
so solidly constructed was the furniture that some of the Elizabethian designs have remained intact to the present day. In these fragments
and in their reproductions are many romanti.; stories; for as there are sermons in stones, so there must be delightful tales in these historic,
bits of furniture.' Your ancestors created furniture and woodwork which appealed most strongly to them, and from these sturdy old chestn,
massive tables, majestic four-post beds, and tall straight chairs charming bits of history are gathered. These talk with one of the manners
and customs of those glorious times long since faded into the deeest pages of history. Or they call forth pictures, and one sees the giant
shadows of men who made history during the leign of the Virgin Queen. Francis Drake is beheld sailing the seas for glory. Ezzcx is seen
composing sonnets to his queen; Bacon is viewed struggling with his literary works; Marlowe is pictured bringing forth vivid dreams:
Shakespeare is seen at work on plays, the like of which has never been produced. All these classical articles are so fraught with romance
that one cannot stand before them without being tarried back into ancient days. For this reason every student of history, every man who
loves ancient beauty and every woman who delights in romance should visit our store and look upon the modern reproductions of theso
classical periods. These are being sold far below regular value during our January Green Seal of Quality Side.
