An Ordinance Gone Wrong.

The arrest of Ed Shriver for peddl ing
bananas in South Omaha has proved that one
at least of the city ordinances is wrong. 1t is
Ordinance No. 40, and there is nothing on
record to show that it was legally passed.
There is no record of the votes given on the
suspension of rules" under which it was
said to become law. In the meantime South
Omaha is open to pedlers of all kinds.

There's nothing sensational about
our methods and we always have a
GOOD business reason for whatever
we do-a reason that your common
sense approyes-hence the quick re-
Spouse to our announcements.
The aII-Wool two.dollar Medli-
colt" underShirts and drawers we
offer at SIPS are selling rapidly, and
every sale we make brings other
buyers. We don't lose anything on
that underwear-the Mill is glad TO
close out the last of its seasons pro-
duclion at a loss, enabling US TO give
a rare bargain and still make a
tri0e.
Il was different with those fifty
finest 0vercoats we yesterday re-
duced to S35 each, from SIS and $50.
We lost something on them ourselves
and to-day we shall take another
loss, because the time has come to
unload the accumulation of ilI-as-
sorted lots. Might work them of
slowly at a profit, but we'd rather
create a little furry and have them
out of the house in a day or two.
So, therefore, the news this morn
ina is Of some six hundred smooth
faced 0vercoats, MELONS, KerSeys
and plain Beavers; divided into two
Iots-those formerly SIS, S26, $50,
S35, and $40, 90 down to SID; those
formerly sold under SIS go down 10

Please be prompt in coming for
yours. Some al both stores.

There is good news for the persons
who are always asking: what shall my
son bc2' or "What am ! to do with my
daughters ~ 1t is announced from
Paris that new profession has lately
been started there The French capital
IS celebrated for the strange Ceilings
pursued in it. 1t is not in Paris that
the 'quatorzieme' flourishcs--the gen
tleman who sits in hi, chambers in full
evening dress from to O'Clock, D. m.
IN hopes that super stitious dinor, wi
fiad out that they are about to sit
down thirteen, and will call him in to
avert tho omcnl Tho new profession
also has to do with dinner, but it is CON
cerned with its preparation, and not its
consumption. 1t il that of dinner
tasting. The professor, an OK chef
probably, is engaged by the host to
como and sample the dishes before
they are submitted to his guests.
Monarchs in the middle AGES had, it
will be remembered, a similar fuaction-
airy, whose not over envIable duty it
was to sec that nothing poisoned was
given to his master. The dinner
listers" duty IS rather to see that every
thing is properly seasoned; that the soup
has enough, and not too much, salt in
it; that the champagne has OF been
iced out of all knowledge, and so Oh.
The success which Is said to have at
tended the profe sion of dinner testing
suggests one or two other kindred pos
sibiities. Why, for example, should
not soTo of our unemployed elogants
take to tieing the white ties of their
weather but less nimble brethron-for
a consideration, of course2 Our girls,
too, might make very pretty income
by assisting hostesses to decorate their
rooms in an artistic manner. II these
suggestions should be carried out, we
shall see an immense improvement both
in personal and material adornment, and
at the same timo the ranks of the uu-
employed will have been perceptibly
.thinned. = London Globe.

Onc OF the many curious autitheses
which attracts tho strangers attention

while the poorer class of women arc

comfortable fashion of swadding her
