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
