Washington, May 21. (Special
Telegram.) The meeting of the Ne
braska delegation to consider rec
ommendations for federal appoint
ments scheduled for Saturday may be
postponed. The funeral of Chief
Justice hite and the fact that a

given for the proposed postpone

formed him that endorsements are
on the way.

lieved in giving every republican
who desired to be a candidate for
public office a chance to' be heard
and in view of the yeoman service
Mr. Bragg and his committee did for
the congressman last year he was
particularly anxious to have the
meeting of the delegation scheduled
for tomorrow go over until Mr;
Bragg could get his recommendations
before the delegation.
Due to the organization built up
by Mr. Bragg, Gosper county, which
is normally democratic by from 200
to 300 majority, gave but one ma
jority for Mr. Andrews' opponent in
November.
Mr. Andrews is also moving to
get an additional mail car placed
on the McCook-Imperial line of the
Burlington to supplement the one
car now in service.

An Uncorseted Feeling
Is the Result of Wearing a Correctly Fitted
Bien Jolie Corset 1
This is not at the sacrifice of a trim appearance either, for the days of the
heavily boned, stiff materialed corset is past. The leading "modistes" of the coun
try do not desire the elimination of corsets entirely, but a natural, gracefully
curved figure outline is essential. One season during which the corset does not
play an important part will result in spreading of the figure until it is impossible
to wear the clothes of the day. Soft Grecian treco with pliable whalon boning
make up the BIEN JOLIE CORSETS.
