LUTHER'S BASKET BALL TRIP.
Wins Three Games Out OF Five. Losing to
ST. Olaf and the Aggies Of St. Paul.

The Luther College Basket Ball
team has played its last game this
season, unless it should be able to
secure return game with Iowa or a
game with Grinnell. The team is
back from its trip which gave Luther
three victories out of five games
played. The two games lost were to
st. Olaf and the Aggies at st. Paul,
but things took turn when the
Luther boys got back to their home
state. The three last games with Le-
ander Clark, Coe and u. |. u. were
all Luther's. OF the six games
played with Iowa colleges, this year,
Luther has won all but one. Her
record against state teams is clean
one barring the game with Iowa Uni
versity. when Luther lost by two
points.
Should game be secured with
Grinnell there will be some thinking
and guessing about who really will be
the state champions. Luther, at all
events, ranks with the topmost.
Following is the score of the games
played on the trip last week
ST. Olaf 80. l.. G. "a
Aggies "a. l.. q. %
Leander Clark 81, L. g. 81

Counting up the totals of all games
played this season. victories and de-
feats, Luther stands 100 points to the
good.

A CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
Ben Bear Tells Of His 65th Purchasing Trip
to New York-Read Tits Worth Your
While.

The public in general have been
kept Informed through the columns of
this paper of my recent visit to the
clothing markets of America; and il
Is a pleasure for me now to inform
our friends and customers of the
splendid purchases l have made while
east
1t has always been my aim as a
clothier since the starting of my bust
ness career TO furnish the public with
good honest reliable merchandise.
This was our policy when the Centen-
NAL Clothing Store was established in
1876, and 1T has been the policy OF
this store ever since.
II it was not for the fact that [ am
especially particular as TO the
selection of clothing, | could make
these semi-annual trips very much
quicker, and with very much more
ease.
am free to admit that some of the
clothing manufacturers east. with
whom have done business for wears
often make the remark that | am TOO
particular in my selections. But
have always felt that goods we'll
bought are half sold, +" ard those who
favor us now with call will see at a
glance the difference between our
ready to wear clothing and the com.
mon, ordinary ready made garments
am pleased TO tell our customers
of my excellent success in the mr..
chase of our spring stock, as | fouud
exactly the cloth, the styles, and the
Workmanship | was looking for. and |
can make the statement that | have
never in all my clothing experience
been able to buy quite so satisfactor-
lily as on this trip. Our spring SHIFTS
are simply elegant-they can be com.
pared only with the better makes of
made to order grments, as TO the
general fit and splendid appearance as
well as the excellent qualities. But
as to price, there is no comparison.
because we charge just aout half of
what tailor would.
Our stock is very large and COM
plete, in fact, you will find here
everything yon can reasonably look
for. with the assurance on our part
that we guarantee everything we sell,
and If goods are not as we represent
them we are always ready to return
all money paid We make the claim
and have plenty OF goods to back it.

SOME VIEWS OF ALLISON.

Above the snarling and discordant
notes which are being sounded by
reformers who covet the shoes which
he has worn so long and so honor
ably, it is pleasant to listen to the
chorus of praise and appreciation
which comes from those who have
known William b. Allison for so
many years, who understand his
worth and are in position to give
something OF proper estimate of his
services TO the nation at large, says
the Des Moines Capital.
Against the testimony of the demo-
cratic free trade Sioux City Tribune.
now allied with the progressive"
movement in this state, may be placed
the testimony of another democrat,
Senator Daniel of Virginia, who a
few days ago referred TO his republi-
can colleague. Senator Allison. as
the most useful man in congress,
and who added that if Iowa should
fail to return him to the senate 1.-THE
country would be distressed. "
Against the fault fnding of Judge
Solomon +. Prouty may be placed the
appreciative words of Senator Perk ms
Of California, who declared:
II have served for years on the
committee on appropriations with
Senator Allison and l would walk
barefoot 20 miles to do him a favor -
Against the querulous criticisms of
Ora Williams may be placed the
opinion of Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts, who recently
said:
1.-The failure of Iowa TO give Senator
Allison vote of endorsement would
be terrible for Iowa His standing
is established beyond Impairment by
the result of political contest, but
the state of Iowa is on trial. -
Against the fervid and blistering
breathings of Pharmacy Commits
sioner B. +. Keltz may be placed the
tribute of Senator Beveridge of In
diana:
ut is inconceivable that Iowa could
wish to replace Senator Allison. |
say this without disparagemeut of
Governor Cummins or any other man
in public life in Iowa. l simply can
not conceive condition of public
opinion IL an intelligent community
that would admit of retiring Senator
Allison in favor of any other citizen
of that state in the hope of improv-
ing the states power and influence
in congress. 1t is no dispsragement
of Governor Cummins or any other
Iowan TO say that it cannot be done
This will be the unanimous Judgment
of Senator Allison's colleagues with
out respect to party. No man in the
public life of this nation is more
highly esteemed in either branch of
congress -
These are samples of the evidence
which the Iowa jury of republican
voters will take into consideration in
the preparation of verdict.

Do Not Crowd the Season.

The first warm days of spring bring

and you wonder where they all came
from. The heavy winter clothing is
thrown aside and many shed their
flannels. Then a cold wave comes and
people say that grip is epidemic.

dangerous than in mid-winter. as
there is much more danger of pneu-

corn planted last year, but about the
product of 6, 600, 600 acres was actually

acres was due entirely, according to
Mr.. Cownie, TO the poor seed corn
used throughout the state bv the
farmers. In dollars and cents this loss
is abnormal. The corn today is sell

and the average crop this past year
was fully 30 bushels to the acre. This
would be readily seen to foot up net

last year. The loss in the past years
is inestimable and the farmers and
