Cuffs, a bright tie and porhaps a half dozen Linen Handkerchiefs. Theao are the things that men buy for themselves almost every day in the year and, as a gift, aro prized by them far more than trinkets of silver, which at best are of no practical value, easily loBt and more often looked at, laid away and forgotten forever. Our goods are designed for men it is a part of our business to keeD in touch with all the nev ideas; every "rakish" fad that appears on the market will be shown in our store or window first. CLOTHING BARGAINS FOR THIS WEEK. The clothing' bargains, for this week will be substantially the same as last week. The only change worthy of mention is a lot of Men's Covert Coats in Oxford grey, a $12.00 value at $8.50. and a small lot of Vicuna Coats m Oxford grey, a $15.00 value at $10.00. All other bargains of last week will hold good this. We desire to urge upon everyone the necessity of early Xmas buying. Merchandise is far more scarce than money, and when we urge you to make your selections early, we do it without a selfish motive. The selections will be batter and the prices will be lower than the same goods can be duoli cated for later on.

The Plattemouth woman's club held an instructive and interesting session Friday evening. The current topics de partment find new interest each day in the press reports of the Transvaal, and the happenings of the week of pub lie interest were discussed and com mented upon by th members of the class. Mr. Root, county attorney of Oub8, occupied the latter portion of the evening, giving a most entertaining talk on the "Revolutionary Period." Mr. Root's manner of presentation invested an interesting subject with new interest, and his 1 cture was followed with close attention. The history class is espec ially fortunate in its-leader this year. Lieut. Rawls has secured the'proraise of lectures every alternate Friday night from the beat talent in our state, most of the speakers being professional men who have given historical subjects much saidy. Mr. Rawls himself is an ex cellent student of history, both ancient and modern. As the weeks go by the interest in club work increases. Our excellent corresponding secretary, Mrs. Kempster, was forced to resign on ac count of ill-hoaltb. Her place has been filled temporarily, but a permanent of ficer will be put on the executive board next week. Mrs Fellows, the president, and other officers and leaders of depart mentB are doing good work. So far it has been "all work and no play," but we hope to have some recreation before long. The school visiting committee appointed each month by the president is doing its work conscientiously, and its reports are always interesting toclub women who have children in the public schools. Good progress is being made in parliamentary law practice and American literature.. The next meeting of the club will be devoted to these sub jects. Mrs. Tolff and Miss Pais, the respective leaders, always being well prepared and stimulating the interest of the members of their departments by requiring all to take some active part. Ladies of Lincoln interested in cu linary art will have the privilege of list ening to a series of lectures on the lith, 12th and 13th of December, by Mrs. Peck, of Chicago, before the domestic science department of the woman's club. These lectures will be free to club mom bers, and none but members will be ad mitted. The lectures alone are well worth the membership fee of one dollar. The woman's club has provided a series of choice programs for the current year, and wisely decided that they shall be for the edification and entertainment of club members only. Every two weeks a program out of the ordinary is given, for any one of which half of the mem bership fee ia the usual admission. It is the wish of the president that the membership list may reach the four hundred mark before the printing of the year book. Not merely to swell the roll, but the $400 it represent ia needed to carry on the work of the many de partments of the woman's club. Mrs. Peck cornea highly lecommnnded. She thoroughly understands the subject of cookery and will also demonstrate her recipes. Ladies wishing to join will M 'tU v. A i'li i . f
