THERE two things that woman
particularly notices in another woman
her hat and her shoes. The shoes this
year certainly worthy of much thought
and attention. The great variety enables one
to secure most effective footwear.
To be quite properly dressed this spring
shoes and hosiery must be chosen with great
care There are SO many fads that care must
be taken not to overdo and thus spoil the
simple effects.
The Regis shoes meet all requirements OF
fashion without extravaganza. In our SPLEEN
did assortments of Regis and Majestic shoes
and oxfords we show all styles, all feathers,
for $3.50 to $500 the pair.
The reputation of thest shoes for long
wear and keeping their shape till the last day,
has been fully established, no disappointments
for early buyers in shapes, widths or feathers.

ment of such a commission. The mat
ter was referred to the fire and light
committee of the council, with instruc-
|tions to report at the next meeting
1t is expected that the request from
Quincy will receive favorable consid-
GRAFTON, and that the matter will be
taken up with the legislators from this
district.
No Right Of Appeal
The communication from Quincy
|sets forth the fact that the insurance
rates are based on ratings published
by c. F. Persch of Chicago, and that
these ratings are purchased by the
insurance companies. The Illinois
laws provide for no control over the
rates. There is no appeal from the
ratings published, and no change is
ever made unless there are improve
ments in the protection. or in some
detail tending to have bearing on
the likelihood of fire.
A resolution to authorize the COM
mission to conduct an investigation
has been prepared by the directors of
the, Quincy organization, and a copy
has been submitted to the council in
connection with the communication.
Kill Lnwson's Ordinance.
In order that there might be no
possibility of the adoption of an or
dinance giving W. c. Lawson the right
| to construct railway track on Sew
enteenth street and operate freight

| up in the council last evening and put
on its passage. 1t was effectually kill
ed, for there was not single vote i'm
favor of its adoption.
Alderman Smith brought up the mat
ter, and urged that Tote be taken
on the ordinance, in order that Mr..
Lawson and those interested in the
railway proposition might know pos
itively that it would be necessary to
start. on a new basis before favorable
action by the council will be possible.
; The action of the council, however.
was scarcely necessary, since the COM
mercial organizations of the city.
which have taken hold of the matter,
and have abandoned the suggested
route for a more feasible one.

pected that shortly a new proposition
