IJXCOLN, April 14. (Special.) Usurps
Jimt compiled on the expenditures of tlie
revent session of the lrglMlature compared
with those of the previous session diw lose
tha fact that the total of the 1911 legisla
ture will exceed that of the previous Ses
Hon by IT 4.067. oft and the 1907 session by
II.3.H.CS8 7.
One reason for the Increase is the large
amount carried by special appropriation
bills which were passed during; the last leg
islature. As compared to two years ago
when that class of bills totaled only t"M,
fci.W. the specials of this year amounted
to IW2.8.T4. This amount exceeds the special
appropriation of both the 1W7 and 1!09 ses
sions by S41.6J5.
Following are the appropriation state-'
merits of the last three sessions of the leg
islature showing the amounts carried by
each of the four big general appropriation

Hall-Minute Store Talk
Another point of superiority In our store service
is our method, of handling the clothing stock. In
v- most stores the garments are kept In lots. The eus
tiimer Is drsggeil from oh ease or stack to another,
from one end of the store to the other to find the
style that suits snd the sire thst fas him. It la a
tlme-wsstlng. patience-exhausting method. Here we
go on tha principle that our customers' time is valu
able, also, that he would rather not be confused.
For thHt reason our stock Is kept In sizes. Our sales
men first ascertain the slxe and model that will fit
the customer t!ien If he wishes to pay 110 00 or
le-s, he is conducted to the table wblcn contains all
the styles that will fit him in any particular price.
Should he wish to pay mora ha Is conducted to tha
case on the upper floor that contains his particular
size In his particular price. In a few moments tha
salesman lays before him a couple hundred styles
from which to choose. He can spend all ulm time
in making a selection Instead of spending It in hunt
ing for a fit. Salesmen know Instantly what to do,
and can Instantly produce any particular garment
called for. it is the aew way, adopted aa a result
of our desire to hive this store nodifti in fsct as
well as in newspaper talk.

Timrw Primary I.arr.
Considerable discussion has been heard
tt every hand since the adjournment of
tha legislature on the new primary law,
which was enacted during the session.
While advocates of the so-called wide-open
primary would have preferred to have
een their own ideas enacted by the law
makers, moat of them admit that the new
law Is far more acceptable to the people
than tha present system. '
The bill which passed both houses and
which received the approval of Governor
.Aldrlch, was Introduced by Gustafson of
Saunders county with a big slice taken
bodily from a similar bill Introduced by
Kvans of Adams. Credit for the measure
la si to both of the republicans, to
getlMS Jth some of the leading democrats
who made the road for the measure a
comparatively easy one.
Contenders for tha wide-open primary
among tha legislators themselves were few
and far between. While tha most of the
members were prone to admit tha super
iority of tha system over the present one
none of them would go so far as to say
that it benefits were greater than the
closed primary. Briefly ma points of the
new law are as follows:
It provides for a closed primary, limiting
tha voters' choices to candidates of one
party only.
It providea for preference ovtes for pres
ident and vice president and provides for
selection of delegates to national conven
tions and for presidential electors. -
It providea for a thorough system of
registration In cities where registration is
required.
No AaDolataaents Now.
In spite of the fact that office seekers
have been on his trail, almost Incessantly
since the recent legislature created a few
more positions, Governor Aldrlch today an
nounced that he would not make any ap
polntmenta until after hla return from
Cherry county, where he expects to make
a stay of two weeks hunting; and fishing.
It is understood that tha governor wishes
to confer with members of the supreme
court before ha attempts to name the
members of the commission which will
recodify the statutes. Places on this board
re considered to be plums of rather large
picking for this season of the year, and it
is said several legal light of the state are
casting covetous ayes on the positions.
Orceats Prove Poisonous.
Poisoned by a dish of greens eaten at
dinner on Tuesday and not realising the
seriousness of their malady until laat night.
lira. M. W. C roxler is dead and her hue
baad may be dying at the family home In

life, but were unsuccessful. Medical aid
was not summoned Immediately, and only
when their illness seemed to be acute did
tha couple call doctors. The dead woman
is survived by tha suffering husband and
even children, six of whom live at home.
Only tha parents I. ad partaken of the dlah
which caused tha death of the mother and

This store is quoted on every hand these days and other stores sued up according

that is just as modern and superior as the store itself and the clothes it sells. It is,
in truth, the modern store and it is patronized by those fellows who know that the
