An Elaborate Calendar

The 6ra 1908 calendar to be pre-
sented in the city was the one sent out
last week by The Peoples State Bank.
It is the largest ever put out by a Medi-
cine Lodge institution. being 26x40.
The scene is a representation of In The
Springtime" from the celebrated painting
by Hrschbers. depicting the coy coun-
Try mlk-maiden and her laddie lover at the
watering tank. These calendars were
purchased at cost Of one dollar each
and represent considerable sum, but

Special Session Predicted

The politician. of the State are agitat-
nssa special session Of the legislature
this week stronger than al any time since
the discussion began IN the fall. The
emergency Is a guaranty deposit law for
the protecien Of Kansas banks. Okla
homa enacted such law last week and
il IS said to have the effect Of removing
deposits from Kansas banks. near the
dividing line Of the two states, to the
Oklahoma banks. Friends Of the meas
ure. as an additional argument. point out
that its enactment would fully restore
public confidence and overcome the
panic 80 far as the banks and depositors
are affected.
But while the guaranty deposit law Is
declared the emergency. the demand fos
a direct primary law has steadily grown
and there is a Strong probability that j!
viii be enacted in the event Of special
session. And this is disturbing element
to the old machine crowd. Every one
Of them from the greatest to the least Is
taking post-has,e hike for Topeka to
call the governor of, or # failing IN that
to pledge sufficient number ofmember.
Of one or the other branches Of the leg
islature against it to secure its defeat.
The sentiment Of the local republican
leaders here is against both the deposi
law and the primary law. Representa-
tive Gesner is said to be between the
arch demon Of hades and the bnny deer
and will not declare himself until after ht
has conference with Senator Long a

sumption Of time sometimes characteristic
Of such occasions.
The banquet tables were set in the
Knights Of Pythias hall adjacent to the

the Collin: Cafe. The floral effects were
especially pleasing and the menu consist

For there is much cotton-mixed material that crooks and fades, sold as all-wool fast-black goods, and you can t afford to buy that kind of black suit. If you will go to Meigs & Co.'s big store, you will find the right kind of black suits; guaranteed all-wool chevi- ot, guaranteed fast black, and tailored in a manner that has shed luster on Meigs & Go. clothing for good many years. Of course, the place where you get satisfying black suit is just the place to buy your spring overcoat and other springy wears, and that place IS the big store of Meigs & Go. in Bridge port. Complete new stocks of all gooo | wears for man and boy are now ready at this famous outftting establish. ment, and a cordial invitation IS ex tended to all to visit the store and gel acquainted with new styles.
