Rogers' 1881 A-l guaranteed Silverware will be placed on sale the Union Outfitting Company hext Saturday at many dollars less than such high-grade silver ware is selling for today. ( The enormous saving is due to the fact that heavy orders were placed wrth the maker early last year and previous to heavy ad vances in the price of metals. The result is an opportunity to buy silverware at prices that may not be offered again in months to come. In the purchase were a num ber of 26-piece ets put up in lined cases. There are also many dozens of knives, forks, spoons and teaspoons which can be pur chased! separately or by the dozen. The sale is just another- con vincing evidence of the great buying power of the Union Out fitting Company and its ability to lower prices because of its lo cation out of the high rent dis trict, where, as always, you make your own terms.

The reply was "the Americans have no Iwhite fjags; they don't use them."

The evidence shows that Harry B. Fleharty was promised $1,000 for his services in the trial iu the dis trict court, and for his work in the supreme court, and he received for all his services the sum of $500; tnat cenjamin a.

Other than this the evidence decs not show the payment of any money to any members o.f the bar officers of the court, pr others. ' Recommend No Proceedings "However much we ' might think that an officer of the court should use sparingly and with the finest delicacv his ability, his influence and .his prestige to secure executive clemency, we do not find that such practice is in any way prohibited by law: nor do we find in the circum stances of this matter a basis for recommending anvaction or pro ceedings against Peterson and De voe, or either of them. Whether the coventors con fidence in the acting governor's in telligent and prudent executive re sponsibility was misplaced, whether the acting governor's act in allowing Kirk to be released was oerfunctory and ill judged, whether the event of Kirk's abuse of his 'furlough' by becoming a fugitive from justice in violation of his terms of release from the penitentiary might have been expected from and disclosed by a more careful analysis of his his tory and character, are not matters to be considered except as they may bear upon the conduct of officers of this court. "The facts that 'furloughs' had be come conventional, that adminis trative interpretation sanctioned them, that bad faith en the part of the attorneys does not appear in the evidence, constrain us to recommend that no proceedings be had against any member of the bar or oiheers ot the court. .Office Furniture .A.

Replace Old Order. The League of Women Voters, which is to replace the old suffrage organization, is designed to become a medium through which the wo men of the nation may give expres sion to their political desires. It is to be nonpartisan in character, but is intended to attora a meaium through which women of all polit ical beliefs may work for the success of political measures in which wo men of the nation have a united in terest. The welfare ot women in in dustry will be one of the chief con cerns of the new organization. The convention also will be a memorial to the late Dr. Anna How ard Shaw, for many years a leader in the suffrage movement, and will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Susan B. Anthony, the pioneer stinragist ot tlie United j States. All Notables Present. Hundreds of delegates are in at tendance at the convention, and thousands of visitors, attracted by the convention, are in Chicago. Elaborate arrangements for the en tertainment of the delegates an,d visitors, made by the suffragists of Illinois, are being taxed to the ut most to accommodate those in at tendance. Woman whose names are nation ally known in the suffrage move ment and in the councils of the dominant political parties, are di recting the work of the convention. Among these is Mrs. Carrie Chap man Catt, president of the National American Woman Suffrage associa tion, who is regarded as a leading candidate for president of the Na tional League of Women Voters. Demonstrating the non-partisan eharacter of the assemblage is the fact that women who occupy places of leadership in both the republican and dembcratic parties are taking a nrominent nart in the convention. Mrs. John .Glover South of Frank-! j fort, Ky., was for three years presi dent of the Kentucky Equal Rights association and recently was elected chairman of the national republican women's committee. The democratic party is represented by Mrs. George Bass of Chicago, a member of the national women's democratic com mittee. Drafted First Bill. Prominent in the convention work also is Mrs. Catherine W. McCul loch of Chicago, who has the dis tinction of having written the Illi nois presidential suffrage bill, which gave to the women of that state the right to vote, in presidential elec tions. Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout of Chicago, president of the Illinois Equal Suffrage association, which boasts a membership of 250,000, is another leader. Mrs.s Jacob Bauer, of Chicago, president of the Chicago Equal Suf frage association, and known as one of the most successful business wo men in the United States, was a&tive in making arrangements for the con vention and the enterainment of the delegates. Mrs. Fletcher Dobyns of Chicago, who has (taken an active part samong republican women vot ers of Illinois, is among the fore most leaders of the convention. Delegates From South. New York is represented by Miss Mary Garrett Hay, who is thelelc gate of the New York City League V of Women Voters, and who has be come a national figure in suffrage aod welfare work. Heading the dele gation from the southers states is Mrs. Pattie Ruffner Jacobs, of Birm ingham, Ala., president of the Ala bama Woman Suffrage association and state chairman of the Alabama Women's committee. Mrs. Tohn K. Ottley, of Atlanta, Ga., and Mrs. W. C. Cathcart, of South Carolina, are other southern women who are par ticipating, j Financial matters of the conven tion are under the direction of Mrs. Samuel Slade, of Highland Park, 111., who was in active charge of the campaign which collected funds necessary to the holding of the con vention. Missouri's delegation is headed by Miss Alma Sasse, of Brunswick, Mo., whek has the dis tinction-, through her oosiuon as W omens committee of being the youngest state chairman in the United States.
