LINCOLN. Neb., Dec. 27.-(Sleclftl.)-Wlille
the hosts of democracy arc be
lelglng the Tails City citadel for Jobs,
c ne democrat has been discovered who.
It Is raid, will decline to fall for a place
under the new- administration. Ills name
Is W. T. Jenton and he Is the present
r.herlff of Richardson county and H-eB In
the same town with the new Kovernor.
Ho has been offered the wardenshlp of
the. 'penitentiary, and, according to all
lepoijY, han turned down the offer. This
will romc like a rift of Riinllght In the
dark political cloud to ranc of the other
candidates and the forces will now bo
expected to press forward again with
renewed hope that some of them may win
the coveted position.
New Knrnltiirr Ciininii .

a capital of W,000, Is a. new corioratlon.
which will do buslnest) in Omaha, denllnt?.
In furnlturo in a rctull way. The In

Work for l-Vniale f'onvlrl..
There are elffht colored women and
onelntilati jrlvl In tho female ward at
the stato penitentiary and tho matron,
Mrs. Meliek, has put It up to tho board
to devise some way to keep tliem busy.
She, suggests that a kitchen be added to
tho ward and that tho girls bo given ft
chance to cook or If not already cooks,
that they be given a chance to learn.
Mrs. Mellck has been having them do
home of tho sewing for tho prison, but
it Is not sufficient to keep them busy, nnd
t-o tho kitchen echeme, she believes, will
to some extent, help solve tho problem.
Sutherland linn I'lnn.
.1. n. Sutherland, editor of the Burt
County Herald, has written a letter to
the secretary of the State Board or Agri
culture In which he protests against the
I.I 1 . I . I .. ll. .. ,t
the corn crop. He says that it Is not fair
to the Mate to show the average cixp
per acre when about one-half of the
tate or more docs not raise corn or can
not raise it.
He suggests that the state be divided,
cutting off that portion known as the
hand hills and cattle country, where lit
tle corn Is raised, and give tho showing
from tho two sections of the state. He
suggests that tho line be drawn so that
In giving corn statistics it will be given
from the section growing corn and' not
take In tho secton that does not grow It
A line north and south between the
counties of Knox and Holt on the north,
andrunnlng through the state to tho line
between Webster and Nuckolls on the
vouth. would give a fair showing of what
Nebraska can do in raising corn.

change in the constitution or will have
to take only the pittance of JCCO Under
the old law, or only 110 per day. Under
tho constitutional amendment. If it holds

ant governor will have to be content

Key to thu Situation Bee Advertising.
Let us show you the
finest clothing possible to
produce at each price
In this ape of substitution, tho clothing Industry hns
suifored us much as any other, (looil Rtrmonts are
mndo and sold for what they are. Medium graftc Rar
inents are advertised and sold as eq.ua! to tho host -
and oven, by somo stores, the most Inferior grades
nro advertised In Just as glowing terms as could bo
used to advertise tho best. This Is HUbHtltutlon puro
and simple and Is grossly unfair to tho public. This
store takes great prldo In tho fact that It has never
glvon n helping hand to such practices. It hnndles
the finest grndo of wearables. It handles many (hat
are not so good and for which It charges smaller
prices. It hnndles also somo common grades upon
which It fixes very common prlccB. Hut upon each
grado It fixes a price that la eminently fair and It
never tells you that till of Us clothing Is tho best -
It. does toll you that at each prlco It soils tho best
clothing possible to sell nt that price. Tho result of
that policy Is that thousands of customers havo como
to know that there Is no store, anywhore, capable of
selling the same grades as wo sell nt prices, oven a
penny, less thnn ours.
