Perhaps a Good Many women think that our claims for our Tenderfoot shoes are exaggerated. All we ask is for you to ask some lady who is wearing them. Nine times out of ten you won’t need to ask her, she will tell you without asking, that they are the most comfortable of shoes, that the flexable soles bend with foot, that the soft uppers conform to every part of the foot. Come in any tige and ask to be fitted to a pair of these comfort shoes, you need’nt buy ' them, Just try them on. Womens $3.00 CHARLIE VOGLEWEDE The Shoe Seller

Elizabeth, wife of Philbert Gase, a prominent farmer living four miles east of the city, died this morning at 11 o’clock after a ten days’ illness from a complication of diseases. The deceased was one of the best known women of this part of the county and the news of her death will be received with much sorrow. A particularly sad feature of the case is that she leaves a ten-days-old son and four other little sons, the eldest one not more than eight years of age. Since the birth of the babe Mrs. Gase has not shown the desired improvement, other complications arising, and she gradually grew worse. Early this morning her condition was considered most serious, and it was known that she could not survive the day. She was about thirty-four years of age and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Spuller, both of whom died several years ago. She was born on the farm on which she and her husband, to whom she was married about ten years ago, went to housekeeping and her entire life has been spent in this county. She is survived by the heart-broken husband and five little sons, namely: Anthony, Clement, Edward, Irenis and Joseph. She also leaves the following sisters: Mrs. John Starost, Mrs. Mat Thomas, Mrs. John Steigmeyer, Mrs. Joe Meyers, Mrs. Mary Hackman, and Sister M. Fredericks of New York City.
