ATTRACTIVE SHOW WINDOWS.
Kinastree Merchants Right up
to Snuff" In the Art.

Among the most catchy show WIN
dows that we have ever seen in
Kingstree are those of the Kingstree
Hardware Co. One Of these windows
is arranged to advertise ammunition
and guns. The window is long and
is arranged to represent a real old
field hunting scene. In the center OF
the field is an artificial pond, made
of a looking glass on which are sew
eral paper ducks. The huntsman Is
there with his dog, which is in the
act of pointing or setting covey
of partridges that are scattered
about in the grass and pine-straw.
The north window of this handsome
new store is arranged to advertise
paints and brushes and is scarcely
less attractive in general arrange
ment than the hunting scene.
Adjoining the Kingstree Hard
ware Co is the large new store of
the Peoples Mercantile Co, the pop
ular purveyors to a large patronage.
In one of its big show windows is
attractively displayed full line of
seasonable groceries, while in the
other is to be noted an artistic dis
play of dry goods, shoes, notions and
furnishings.
The show windows of Mr. S Mar
Gus, the Kingstree Dry Goods Co and
Jenkinson Bros Co are also most at
tractively decorated with shoes,
stylish coat suits, dress goods and
other seasonable merchandise.
The windows of our two jewelry
stores, Messrs T E Baggett and F J
Watts, are as pretty as one could ex'
pect to find in much larger towns.
Their wares embrace all of the latest
designs in gold and silver ornaments,
watches, cut glass, fine china and sill
verware. These, of course, are in a
class by themselves when it comes
to making a handsome window dis
play.
Messrs Davis & Fennell are by
no means in the background when it
comes to pretty window displays.
Brother Davis is an old hand at the
business and is not lacking when it
comes to good taste in arranging an
attractive shoe or clothing display,
though he is somewhat handicapped
by the size of his windows.
Our friend, Mr. Harry Riff, is also
showing some pretty things in his
show windows, one being devoted to
the display of ladies' frocks and fab
rics, while the other is given up to
shoes and gents furnishings.

Mrs. Charles D. Beaton is keen for suffrage
and Mr.. Beaton, who is Ak-Sar-Ben governor.
was rather inclined to favor suffrage until he
placed next TO Miss Minnie Bronson at the Com
mercial club luncheon given in her honor. Miss
Bronson informed him that suffrage would lead
to socialism which statement led him to doubt
the wisdom of his original stand. Mrs. Beaton
suggests that arrangements be made to seat him
next to Dr. Katherine Bement Davis at the next
luncheon.

Division in High Circles

Announcement made recently that whereas
Mrs. William H. Taft, wife of the ex-president,
had declared herself an anti-suffragist, her
daughter, Helen, had joined the suffrage society
at Bryn Mawr where she has been attending school.
On the heels of this announcement the statement
was made that President Wilson's daughters hold
opposing views the question of suffrage. While
Margaret Wilson and Jessie Wilson Sayre are in
favor Of woman suffrage, it is said that Eleanor
Wilson McAdoo is just as much opposed to 1t.
Omaha has many families wherein the same
condition exsts-each member of the family dem

having his her opinion-and expressing 1t.
Many interesting features noted, such as ar

German Women Indifferent to Cause

At a recent meeting Of this committee. Mrs.
Helen Arion Lewis, who favors more active cam
pagn than the mere distribution Of literature,
authorized to begin the work of organizing other
anti-suffrage societies. that all circles Of women
might be reached. To this end, a preliminary
meeting was held at the German Home, the antis
having surmised that the "Deutsche Damen" were
more interested in their kaffee klatches, kuchen
and pretzels than they we're in votes for women.
AS yet, organization has been effected.
Mrs. ]. w. Crumpacker is the representative
of the national society here and has been working
throughout the state in endeavor to affiliate
other organizations with the ose in Omaha She
has made number of trips to Lincoln, Fremont
Hastings. Grand Island and Kearney and other
points and with the assistance of the parent So
ciety, the Omaha branch, thinks that permanent
organizations will be effected in these places.
The anti-suffragists maintain that their cam
paign will only be educational one Literature
is being placed in the hands of all those that they
think interested. An attempt will also be made
to enlist the services of clergymen all over the
state for the women feel that much good may be
accomplished through these channels. Among the
well known speakers that the organizations hopes
to bring to Omaha in the near future are Miss
Minnie Bronson. Miss Marjory Dorman and Miss
MaFkson of the Wage Farmers league OF New York
City,

Organizations also share in the division of opin-
ion. The General Federation OF Women's clubs
was divided on the question for twenty years,
until this year, when the suffrage movement was
endorsed. Locally the Vasssr club, which recently
Joined the suffrage societies in a luncheon for DR..

May CopelaRdand several more members have

strongly upheld the antis in the councils of the
ciety while Mrs. Frank Crawford one of the most
active members of the organization, Miss Carolinse
Congdon and others are suffragsts To maintain
the equilibrium of the club the majority members
led by Mrs. Warren Blackwell, stand on neutral
ground.
An amusing story is told by the librarians at the
public library. A sheet of paper divided into
two columns, of the suffrage and the other
opposed to it, left one of the desks. The
first librarian who spied it, put her name down
on the suffrage side, the next one followed suit,
until all had registered their opinion. Then it
was found that the suffragists numbered one more
than the antis. Not to be outdone in this fashion,
the antis called upon the page of the library and
he in manly fashion signed his name as opposed
to suffrage thus striking an equal balance.

Once Were For, Now Against

Mr.. William Wallace and his family were pio-
neers in the suffrage ranks twenty years ago.
The Walaces have always been identified with
the forward movement for women, a great aunt
of the late Mrs. Wallace, Mrs. Bannister, together
with Miss Mary Lyon, having been the founders
of Mount Holyoke school for women about 100
years ago. AS a result of their experiences in
this early work for suffrage, the Wallaces changed
their mind and now Miss Janet Monroe Wallace,
who is instructor in economics and civics at the
Omaha High school, is of the executive COM
mittee of the anti-suffrage society.
Mrs Helen Arion Lewis is another active worker
in the who changed her mind result
of her experiences in suffrage campaigns and her
observations in states where suffrage has been
granted to women, in several of which states she
has resided
Miss Ophella Hayden and Miss Claire Helene
Woodward who were formerly interested in the
suffrage cause together with Mrs. Adolph Storz,
an anti, in Washington at the inauguration
of President Wilson and witnessed the famous
suffrage parade. The developed appearance of
the marchers who were routed in disorder from
the parade did not make a hit with the Omaha
young women and they favor the anti-suf
fragists.

One Of the best known merchant princes In
Omaha is quoted having said that he opposed
woman's voting because his wife is home so sell
dom, as 1t is. Half of her time is taken I'D

society as one who interested in 1t.
Dean James A. Hancock of Trinity cathedral is
strongly opposed to votes for women, but Mrs.
Hancock, although not allied with any suffrage
society. is just as strongly a sympathizer of the
cause.
Mrs. John N Baldwin was president Of the
Equal Franchise society for a term, but her daugh-
ter. Mrs. Arthur Guou, believes that the right to
vote should be restricted for both men and women
and that only those who fitted to WELD the
ballot should be permitted to do SO.
Mr. Lloyd Osborne, whose wife is a suffragst
and prominent member OF the Fine Arts So
ciety, denied very emphatcally rumor to the
effect that he anti. IL believe in giving

she said.
Mrs. Willard Hosford formerly Miss Mary Lee

Campaigning for suffrage has been going in
Nebraska for over twenty years. but ant-suffrage

Smith met Mrs. Dodge last year when she was
