$4,000, 600 year for five years This
will be drawn entirely from China, and
will be in addition to Japan's usual
receipts from customs and internal
revenue. The customs receipts promise
to be very large, as the new treaties
which Japan has effected with leading
nations will bring about readjustmont
of tariff duties, so that much greater
returns will be realized.
II is owing 10 this assurance OF an
ample treasury that American ship
building firms have turned their atten.

there have already indicated their pur-.
pose Of using considerable part OF the

extended by the entire committee TO

conclusively shown thar the youths who
were near where the fireworks were
being set off persisted in running under

Storm Raging i'm Nebraska.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 21.-A storm
has been raging through the west
for the past twenty-four hours that
has seriously interfered with the
railroad business. All day yester-
day traffic in the west was badly de-
layed, but reports received this
evening indicate that the fury of the
storm has been spent, and better
conditions prevail. The storm was
most severe on the 500 miles between
Cheyenne and Ogden. The wind
blew at the rate of sixty miles an
hour from the northwest with a
binding snowstorm in progress and
the mercury at zero. Passenger
trains on the Union Pacific had a
hard time of it, but were able to keep
fairly close to schedules. The
freights did not fare so well. The
velocity of the wind made schedule
time impossible for the train men to
do their work with any degree of
promptness. All business was more
or less blocked, and it was not until
this morning that the wind abated
and the storm broke. Reports at
the Burlington show that a light
snow fell throughout Nebraska, four
inches being reported at Eckley and
light falls al the way from Hold
dredge to Lyons The mercury did
not go so low in Nebraska. the min
imum temperature being reported
at Hotdredge at S above. On the
Wyoming division Of the Burlington
there was much snow. The Black
Hills was covered and eight inches
reported at Billings. In Wyoming
and South Dakota it was more severe
than il many years.

of the people that at our store is the

that every clerk in our employ is
honest that everything you buy Of

CASH GROCERY.

AS has been our usual custom to
reduce our stock by the first of the
New Year for invoicing, SO we will
give some extremely low prices from
now until New Year. It Sc ms
strange to US, how some people can
do business and sell at Cost and
what seems more strange, is, while
we are not selling at cost, our selling
price on the best quality of goods,
is lower than their cost price. Still
when we stop to think of the long
experience we have had in the gro.
Gerry business, and the close atten-
tion we have given it, to learn what
all class of goods cost the manufac-
turers to prepare them for the mar
ket, and having the cash to buy
with, and buying in such large quan
titles, enables us to buy goods at 20
per cent less than the average gro.
Gerry man. Having this advantage,
besides a very large trade, enables
US to buy only the very best goods,
and sell them at the cheap stuff
prices.
We buy nothing but the best in
every line we handle, aad everything
we sell you is warranted. Our oat
fake, ore oven baked of the finest
white cat and does not gum togeth-
er when cooked. Our pearl hominy
is made of hominy corn, and every
particle of the hull taken off. Our
&c Rice is whole white Carolina rice.
Our Java blend coffee is a mixtui,
of java, Santos and Rio, and the
best coffee for the money by sc per
ID. that is sold in Bates county.
It makes no difference what other
merchants may tell you, we give you
the plain facts, and will continue to
do SO so long as we remain in busi-
ness. Some merchants seem to
think, or at least they have been
runniny on that plan, that the only
way to advertise their goods, is to
run down other merchants goods,
and nine times out of ten, we are
the ones they fling their vile at first
Why? Because we are selling the
good, and at prices little too low
to suit them.
We have on hands nearly four
thousand dollars worth of glassware
and Chinaware, in fact, we have
larger and finer assortment than is
usually displayed in the large cities,
which you can see for yourself by
calling at our store, and at about
half the price they would charge
you; how is that! Well, in the first
place, we imported our goods our
selves from France and Germany
and got them as cheap as any house
in America could buy them; in the
second place, it costs in large cities
ten times the expense to sell them as
it does US, as our expenses are COM
paratively nothing.
We have mugs, cups and saucers,
child s sets, vases. cake plates, su
gars and creams, tea sets by the
hundreds, from SC each up to as fine
as you want. We bought 100 fine
Vase and Banquet Lamps, have al
ready sold over half of them; we are
actually selling prettier and much
finer lamp than we ever handled be
fore, at less than half the price we
had to ask you last year. Why
Because we bought them last March
from the factory, at factory prices
delivered. We advise all parties
wanting a fine lamp at the cheap
price to come and buy it now; as
they will all be gone before New
Yyar, and we cannot buy them as
cheap again this year, as the facto-
