All through August you may
buy Shirt Waists at Just one
half the prices they were in
June. We don't propose to
carry over a single waist until
next year. Every Shirt Waist
we have in the store is new /;
latest style; latest cut. There's
full assortment, and some of
the very choicest garments are
still here. The prices we put
upon new garments at the be-
ginning of a season are always
as low as we can get them, but
at one-half the cost, now, what
a chance it is for the wide

DELAY IN PRINTING THE MESSAGE.
MAYOR wURsTER's FIRST COMMUNICATION TO
THE ALDERMEN YET IN THE PRINT
ERs9 HANDS

THE ALDERMEN YET IN THE PRINT
ER's HANDS.
Mayor Wurster's first message was sent 10 the
Board Of Aldermen the first Monday In January
but It has not yet appeared in official printed form.
II would seem as II ten months and half ought to
be sufficient to enable the deliberate Of print
ers 10 handle document Of that length. for Mr..
wurster took pains to make his first official COM
munication TO the City Fathers commercially short
p There some obvious reasons for tho delay,
however. and the most important Is that the mes
sage Of the Mayor. In accordance with established
CUSTOM is TO form the first part OF q volume that
will include tho reports for 1898 Of all the city de-
partments. Some Of the reports are bulky and II
has not been practicable to get them all out yet
The volume Of reports last year contained about
seven hundred pages; this year about twice as
many pages will be put into the book good share
Of the is due to the report of the Depart
ment OF City Works. which makes good-sized VOL
ume OF Itself.
There Il a growing conviction that the printer who
does the ctys printing should do his work more
peditiously. In the opinion OF experienced officials
iii the department reports and the Mayors mes
sage should be ready not later than the middle Of
the year. and It II said that the printer will be put
