Wonderful is the only word that will de-
scribe the activities of our Coat Section. Never
have we experienced anything like it in coat sell

reason, namely that no assortments that they have
seen anywhere contain such varied line of unu-
sual and distinctive styles Following our usual
custom we add new models instead of Duplicating
Styles, sizes and cOIOrs for women, misses. girls
and children.

THE WILSON CLUB.
At Meeting Last Night in Topeka
Membership Reached 500.

At an enthusiastic meeting of the Wood
row Wilson club at the Democratic Flam-
beau club rooms last night, it was an
nounced that the membership of the club
has passed the 800 mark, and that the
club is growing rapidly. Many of the
membrs are Republicans.
The meeting was marked by general
good feeling, and plans were made for a
further extension of the work of the
club. 1t was decided to rent a hall and
office rooms for the joint use of the club
and the Democratic county central COM
mittee and a suitable location will be Sc
Iected at once by the officers of the two
organizations.
A hat offered by Samuel E. Barber,
Democratic candidate for state senator
to the person who secured the largest
number of new members for the Wilson
club, was won last night by John Steven
son, who brought in applications of 1877
persons.
Several speakers took occasion during
the meeting to declare that any one who
circulates signs the petitions of Russell
]. Harrison, as independent candidate for
governor, is not a Democrat and urged
that none of the club members sign such
petitions. Harrison was a candidate for
the Democratic gubernatorial nomination
two years ago, but was not in the fight
before the primaries this year. He is ex-
pected to make the race as an Independent
candidate.
