Don't forget all the good
offerings the underwear depart
ment is making you.
1t is doing the kind of talk
ing that tells. The price mark
ings appeal directly to every
economical instinct.
The steadily increasing bust
ness of the department bears
witness to all this.
We started out to make
some little talk about this de-
partment and have succeeded.
You can't appreciate what a
run there has been made upon
the muslin underwear. An
unusually large stock of it at
the start seemed to bid fair to
last out the season, but instead
of it lasting it has seemed to
melt away, and orders for more
of the goods have already been
sent.
Particularly good are the
offerings in the way of all
grades of hosiery.
A few moments inspection
of the prices and goods will be
convincing.
The steadily increasing buy
ing interest shown in the dress
goods department is a very
pleasing testimonial of the ex-
act rightness of this stock. We
have outdone our history in
this springs stock, and the
public is not slow in appreci-
ating this.
A feature, a desirable one,
about our suit patterns is that
there are no duplicates in these
suits. Each pattern is exclu-
sive. Ladies who have been
annoyed by seeing their best
dress pattern worn by dozens
of others will appreciate the
chance to have an exclusive
pattern. This they may Sc
cure out of our stock. And
the selection of patterns is
unequaled.
More new ideas in the mil
linery department.. We are
busy here, but there is plenty
to interest you.
Cloak department continues
to be a center Of attraction for
the ladies. The new spring
jackets have caught every
body.

report says: $50 large n part of the country
served by the company's lines depends on the
corn crop that any serious damage to that
staple must affect business. The effect of bad
crop will be only temporary, however. Our
more serious difficulties come from laws which

Old Directors Re-elected-Oreron Pa
cific Stock Not wanted.
San Francisco, April S-At the annual cleo
ton Of the Southern Pacific Company today
shares representing par value of $Il5. 100000
were voted, and the old board OF directors re-
elected, as follows: C. r. Huntington, Leland
Stanford, Colonel Charles r. Crocxer, s. T. Gage,
A. \. Towne, ]. C. Stubs. W. Z. Brown, w. v.
Huntington, f. H. Miller, Thomas E. Stillman
and Thomas H. Hubbard. The election of this
board OF directors insures, Il Is stated, the re-
election OF President Huntington. The latter
presented . report OF the years work and spoke
fayorably In general Of the years business and
the prospects during the coming year.
In an interview this afternoon President
Huntington said the present transcontinental
agreement was no bar to other companies build
ing to California, a. IL Yves simply traffic agree
ment, but il was matter of ffty or sixty MIL
lion dollars to build = competing line, and there
was after all, comparatively little tonnage over
long hauis. He stated he was offered the stock
Of the Oregon Pacific road Of ten cents on the
dollar before leaving New York, but did not
want it. He had made no purchase of Santa Fe
stok for long time, but had exchanged some of
the original St Louis & San Francisco for re-
organized Santa Fe stock. Mr.. Huntington said
the company was only waiting for right-of-way
to perfect its coast line IN Southern California.
Mr.. Huntington said that portion Of the
Yuma division would be rebuilt at cost of
$4,000. Mr. Huntington does not think there
Is any probability Of any other transcontiuental
line building into this state. In comparing the
chances of immigration to this and other states
OF the Coast Mr. Huntington said: LAND in
California 10 too dear, whereas 1t 10 very cheap
In the Northwest and with the cost OF reaching
the Coast the price of land Is big consideration
to immiersnts." Mr.. Huntington will remain
here until May !, when he goes TO New Orleans

ESPECIALLY HAND COUNTY.

Pierre Capital:-The writer last week
threw dull care aside and picking his
grip hied himself to the State Press asso-
citation meeting at Madison. The trip to
Madison was through the counties Of
Hughes, Hyde, Hand. Beadle, Miner and
Lake, and a trip from Madison to Sioux
Falls after the close of the session took in
the additional counties of McCook and
Minnehaha. Unfortunately the road from
Pierre to Huron does not lead one
through the section where the ground has
been as extensively given up to the till
ing of the soil as it is back from the line
Of railroad. But enough was seen to con-
vince one that even this section OF the
state has been blessed with a bountiful
harvest especially Hand county.
