Chicago, may 27.—A special to

ton says: <
During the G. A. K. encamp-
ment in Chicago President Mc-
Kinley may have the pleasure of
returning to tho southern state*
the Confedei-ate battle flags mow
in the War Department.
Prominent members of the G.
A. R. have in hand a plan to sre
cure the authorization of Con-
gress for the return of these tings,
and it is Imped both Houses will
pass the necessary Joint resolution
before adjournment. Dm ing the
coming week it is expected that
the military committees .will take
the necessary preliminary action.
If the consent of congress can
he obtained the flags will lie
turned over to the G. A. R., the
representatives of Confederate
military organizations will be in-
vited to Chicago and witli beauti-
ful ceremonies, President McKin-
ley assisted by the veterans of the
blue and the gray, wilMiaiid the
torn and blood-stained bankers

once carried and defended tlicin.

Department are - lot» or Amw of

the voHigus are attached to com-
mon hickory poles cut in the

of these hickory sticks were orna-
mented by the Jack knives of. the
Confederates.
None of the friends of Presi-
dent McKinley know anything
about the project to secure au-
thority of- Congress for the re-
turn of tlicse flags. The move-
ment is wholly in the hands of
the veterans of the G. A. R. and
their organizations will have full
charge of the ceremonies in ease
the plnn is worked out success-
fully. If Congress gives its as-
sent to the proposal Chicago will
witness one of the most notable
historic ceremonies that ever took
place upon American soil.

A World
Of Wall Paper.
Dewey Out of It.-
It comes from u reliable source
that Admiral Dewey’s candidate
for the democratic nomination for
the presidency is at an end.
When his announcement was
first made the Admiral said that
definite statement would be
forthcoming rrom him, giving his
views on public questions. It
developes now that he will have
nothing more to say about the
matter. His most Intimate friends
ay this means that he is no long-
er in the field. He will not make
formal withdrawal, however,
but will let the matter drop.
Tim Admiral was convinced on
his recent trip to the West and
South that his best friends and
admirers did not want him to
enter the whirl of politics and the
demand for his candidacy came
from people who were more anx-
ious to use his prestige to bent
Bryan than to render him any
additional honors. The Admiral
is convinced that the iiiachinerv
tho party lias been monopo-
lized bv Bryan’S friends, and that
this was done long before his an-
nouncement.
As for the proposition to nom-
inate the Admiral for second
place, inside information is that
the Admiral will not accept the
doubtful honor. There are a
number of democrats who are
anxious to nominate the Admiral
as Bryan’s runningmatc, however,
and they say that if the Admiral
is the democrat he has declared1
himself to be he will accept. It
is not likely, however, that any
\\ e have carried a good stock of wall paper in previous Tears,
former stocks would look small, beside this year's line. It is an un-
common stock other than in siae. It contains everything that is new,
novel and attractive in paper.
Two Advantages.
There are two good reasons why we ought to supply vonr wall paper
this year. First, we have the largest line in this locality: so large as
to make the matter of choosing delightfully complicated. Second;
we are in position to make interesting prices; we bought heavily with
that: objevtjij view. It will lie worth your while to see the goods,
and worth our while to show them.
