WOODS NARROW ESCAPE.
First Ward Town Committee Aspir-
 ant Almost Out of Running.

In the first ward Joseph G. Woods, lawyer, and A. P. Marsh, sheriff, are pitted against each other for election to the town committee at the republi- can primaries next Wednesday. The primaries will be in the republican headquarters in LeWitt's block and will be open from to o'clock. Ex- cept in the first ward, it is not ex- pected that there will be much of any voting.
 It is necessary for every candidate to secure 25 signatures to his peti- ton and Lawyer Woods secured this number. Investigation at headuuar- ters showed that one man signed both the lawyers and the sheriff's petition and under the rules these names would have! to be erased. h. asmuch as Sheriff Marsh had contin- ued his campaign and secured more than 25 names, he crossed the con- tested name off his list, thus permit ting Lawyer Woods to retain it. Otherwise the lawyer would have had but "A signatures and would have been out of the race.

a gown which tantalized the magma

clash in quality or color and wore
them so superbly yet so simply that

some AFFAIR you failed to attend?
When the answer came, 'Oh, haven't

that person was well dressed. Clothes
which actually seem to blend into the
personality, becoming really part OF
one-if that person be the right sort;
are invariably clothes Of good taste.
There seems to be subtle influence
about wearing apparel. which is diff
cult to comprehend. Some people jar
