MATTINGS.

We have in stock today over
so rolls Of Mattings, ranging in
price from lSc to 60c per yard.
At any price less than SOC per
yard, a mating is cheaper and
better than an ingram carpet at
the price.
At 25c to 4Oc yard you can buy
Mattings, which will wear longer,
keep their color better, and look
better than any other floor cover
ing that can be bought for an eqI-
al price. A mating sold below
Csc is usually a poor thing, but
even a mating at lSc. is better
than a carpet sold for the same.
We buy our mating direct from
the importer at TSan Francisc o,
with a syndicate Of buyers in
other Iowa and Nebraska towns.
Our purchases being three car
loads, which twas shipped from
San Francisco to Omaha and
there distributed to the several
stores.
Buying In this way saved some
thing on freight, and cons iderable
on price. We are therefore in a
position to name a price from 10
to 20 per cent less than other re.

the advantages Of showing you
more patterns at one time than

ries and took them to her room. In
less than an hour the other occupants

intense pain. She. could only point TO

DR.. Jackson of the Presbyterian Hos

on Thursday night she was transferred
to Bellevue, where it was seen that her
case was helpless.
