From Hardware

There was once a hardwareman who
was determined to set up an image Of
a human being in his store window.
He looked about his stock, and, finding
all the needed material, went to work,
and his efforts were crowned with un-
questioned success.
He took the legs Of a stove, the teeth
Of a rake, the ears of a pail, the elbows
of a stovepipe, the tongue of wagon
the nails from keg the fingers of a
cradle. the head of a hammer, the nose
of a tea-kettle, the hands of a CyClO-
meter the hair of a brush, the eyes Of
a needle, the bottom of a tub, the neck
of a bottle. the arms from his gun de-
partment the joints from a twO-foot
rule, from which he also stole the feet,
the back of a refrigerator, the heel of
a scythe and the cheek of his travel
ing man. He was a little uncertain as
to the skin" Lut after a moments

THERE is No SECRET HIDDEN
In This The truth is Laid Bare
People Now beginning 10 Realize
the Truc Merits of Honest Advertise


That the Chicago Combination Cloth
ing Co., of I'll Washington avenue, op-
pCsite the Court House, are strictly
living up 10 their advertisements is
now fully assured. There is nothing
hidden in their mode Of doing business
and the truth is laid bare. You will
wonder why it is, and no doubt you
viii be astonished when You read their
advertisements. when they announce
the sale of such high-grade goods at
such ruinously low prices. This firm
can well afford to sell these goods at
such prices, as they buy goods from
people who are either giving up busl-
ness and must raise money; also from
bankrupt concerns, sheriff sales. and
in fact from wholesalers who are hard
pressed for money. The Chicago Com
bination Clothing Co have eight steady
buyers who are continually on the look
out for such stocks, and in a great
many cases they are successful in OBJ
/ tanning these goods at from twenty
five To fifty per cent. on the dollar
! thus enabling them to pace the same
on sale adding a small percentage for
! profits and turning the stock quickly
! and giving the people such bargains
/ that under ordinary circumstances they
| could not secure. Thus it will he seen
when they announce sale it is not
mere fiction or newspaper talk, but
| actual facts The great sheriff sale
| which is now in progress in their store
| is creating the talk of the town. If you
! are i'm need of any clothing for men,
| boys and children, make haste and
come to this great sheriff sale, now in
progress at 211 Washington avenue, op-

Last week William j. Bryan was
travelling over the western portion of
Nebraska and visited the prosperous
city of Kearney. Mr.. Bryan's business
10 life is to keep alive the free silver
issue and to show the people that pros
perity is dream. Apropos to his
visit to Kearney the Hub tells Mr..
Bryan what he could see in the way of
better times:
The visit Of w. ]. Bryan to tue
Platte valley occurs at an opportune
time. Evidences of prosperity sur
round him on every hand. In trying to
reach Kearney from Lexington he was
delayed several hour by blockade of
rail ilway traffic, and on the day that
Mr.. Bryan addressed the people. of
Dawson county the Union Pacific rail-
way hauled 1000 cars through Kearney,
aud thirty-two trains passed this sta
ton. On the day that MIR. Bryan
spoke at North Platte thirty three
trains passed Kearney. The train regis
ter at the depot proves these asser-
tions. The day that Mr.. Bryan appear
ed at Kearney Union Pacific No. 10 ran
in four sections, and No. 20 came down
from the west in six sections, each Sec
tion heavy loaded train. While Mr.
Bryan was shaking hands at the Mid
way hotel nearly one hundred thousa ID
dollars worth of cattle and sheep passed
through Kearney on two trains The
road is blocked with traffic. The Union
Pacific is merely cited as an instance
The Burlington and every other Ne
braska railroad is doing the same
thing. Mr.. Bryan greeted his farmer
friends in Kearney today who had just
marketed their seventy cent wheat and
their high priced cattle and hogs. He
spoke to his friends who have thousands
OF bushels OF corn in the crib, and are
able under restored contiderce to gel,
cattle and sheep to feed it. He greeted
his friends in this community as the
greatest exponent of the cause Of free
silver, long after the parting Of the
ways had been reached by wheat and
silver. He looked into the faces of
happy and prosperous farmers, who
have toiled and under q business nd min
istration of public affairs are able to
market the product of toll and realize
q cash return on expended energy. Re-
nuhIicapism is great and the soil of
Nebraska is great and Mr.. Bryan is
great-talker.

claims that he has been guilty of only
technical Otferses at the worst, coupled
with those same old errors of bookkeep-

while ex-Auditor Nipple is preserving
discrete silence and ex-clerk Ander-
son, in rendering his resignation, an
nounces that he is lully prepared to de-
fend all assaults upon his character. This
combination of influences ought to result
in an exhaustive investigation of the
alleged criminal practices which have
prevailed for the past four or five years,
and no matter what the outcome may
be, it should not be said that any re-
publican in the state has stood in the

Politeness Came to Grief.

1t happened on Ridge avenue street
car early one evening last week, says
the Philadelphia Record. He was a
rather nice looking fellow, very neatly
dressed and apparently on the alert to
be gallant to any lady who might hap
pen to run across his path His oppor-
tunity came along very shortly when a
pretty young woman sat down beside
him. He took q sly, unobtrusive survey
OF her face and figure. and in the course
of his observation: g. eye rested upon
dainty bit Of llnl.. and lace lying on
the floor near the edge of her gown
The young lady had cropped her hand
kerchief, thought the gallant, and he
promptly proceeded to restore it to her.
He stopped over and grasped the deli
cate fabric. The next moment there
was slight ripping noise, and the gal
liant, blushing furiously, released his
hold upon the bit of lace edged linen.
The young woman looked daggers at
him, while the. other passengers snick-
cred. "l-aw-beg pardon, stammer-
ed the unhappy young man II didn It
know it Was your-aw--I thought it
was your handkerchief. % The Young
woman nose assumed an upward tilt,
and she hid the damaged lingerie under
the edge Of her outer skirt. The gallant
left the car at the next cross street.

Following is a brief history of the re

Following is a brief history of the re,
publican candidate for judge in this
circuit, as given in the Argus-Leader.
Frank B. Smith, the republican
nominee for judge of the fourth judi
cial circuit, was born in Kansas. Dur
ing his boyhood days he made good use
of his educational advantages, and in
1888, at the age of %, he entered the
law school of Ann Arbor College. tax
ing full course and graduating with
high honors. He went direct from
college to Alexandria, this state, and
began the practice of his profession.
He was tempe ate man in all things
and made many lasting friends. 1t has
been said OF him that the closer the
acquaintance the better his nature Is
understood and appreciated. Governor
Sheldon appointed him to fill the unex-
pired term occasioned by the appoint
ment of Judge Haney to the supreme
bench, and he has served two years.
Prior to this appointment he had been
states attorney for Hanson county seven
years Judge Smith lives in circuit
that cannot, in ordinary times be guar
anteed to the republicans, but this year
he is assured Of an election. the opposi-
tion being divided between populist
and smocratc candidate.

Concerning Mr.. Lawrence's connec-
tion with the auditors office, the Pierre
Journal says: Secretary OF State Rod
die personally Investigated the charges
against Mr.. Lawrence, who is at pres
ent assistant secretary of state. He
satisfied himself that Mr.. Lawrence had
been in no way, directly or indirectly,
connected with the Irregularities in the
auditors office, that the attempt to
make him in any way responsible was
an effort to injure an innocent man, and
with that singleness Of purpose OF love
of fair play which are among the
characteristics of Mr.. Roddle he told
Mr.. Lawrence that he could depend
upon his friendship and backing in any
emergency which might arise. That's
the kind of man Bill Roddle is."
Mr.. Schwartz, the deputy auditor, is
not included in the recent arrests and
is, therefore, free from any suspicion of
wrong doing.

The Alexandria Journal in begging
the democrats to support Mr.. Goody-
koontz says that be is entitled to their
support because he made ITO speeches
for Bryan last fall. That is most ex-
cellent reason why Mr.. Goodykoontz
should be elected Judge, and is also
most certainly very poor qualification
for man to preside over court. The
democrats can more consistently de-
mand support from the populists for
Mr.. Fellows on the ground that demo-
cratic votes last fall made the populists
successful in this state by electing a
legislature, a governor, attorney gen.
eral railroad commissioner, etc. But
populism is hoggism when it comes to
offices. and the democracy of this state
must help contribute to their benefit is
the attitude of the populists.
