The hacking houses are falling In

llrnorations and beginning to re-
tronch. During the past few weeks
general hundred men have been let
oat and the end Is not yet. OF course
tore is nothing significant In this
concerted movement Of the corpora
lions. That is, II you believe what
tbey say. The facts are, however,
that this is a part Of the plan to get
even with the labor unions Last
s6rine the unions succeeded in raisinE
tbe pay Of common laborers from IN
cents per hour TO 10 cents, with 6
uroporlonate raise for skilled labor
and the corporations are beginninf

that many people are so easily fooled

BIZ nomination was agreed to by the
agents Of the railroads long before the
convention met and, knowing further
that bis past record, his education, in
Clnation and interests are all with
Tho corporations.
Under the new revenue law the rail
road companies will pay city taxes
ir Omaha amounting in round figures
70 81 100. II they were taxed at the
some rate as the man who owns lit

Tow Is this for equality under the

corporations found It to their interest
to maintain corrupt lobby at Lin

MANY IMPROVEMENTS AN.
NOUNCED
Cctsipany will install Large Turn
Table and Rebuild West
Round House This Fall

From an official source comes
the announcement to the effect
the Chicago & North Western
company will soon put a force
OF men to work making extern
sive Improvements at the shops
in this city.
Principal among the improve
ments to be made before snow
flies this winter is the rebuild
ing of a portion of the west
round house, six stalls of that
building being made sufficient
ly large to house the large en-
gines now in service on the
Nebraska and Wyoming divi-
sion. The turn table now in
service at the shops is entirely
too small to handle the large
engines and a new 66-foot table
will be installed Immediately.
When one considers the fact
the Company has installed a
new settling plant at the shops
here this summer at a cost of
$4,000 and the improvements
to be made yet this fall it APP
pears Missouri Valley has not
Jared so badly this summer in
the way of railroad improve
And there is much
more to follow.

A HANDSOME STORE
j. 3. Lyons Store Entlfyiy
Reflt(ed.

After the expenditure of a
considerable sum of money and
labor j. B. Lyon now has one of
the handsomest and most con-
veniently appointed establish
ments in Harrison County.
Not a vestigc Of the old furn-
ishings remains. In the place
of the old style counters, show
cases etc. are now to be seen
tasty glass fronted show case
counters displaying the bulk
merchandise in germ and dust
proof cases, Mr.. Lyons new
system in handling his stock be-
ing absolutely anti-germ. All
furniture is made of highly
polished oak, while the rich IL
noleum covering the floor, and
the deep red adornment of the
walls adds much to the general
effect. A new feature which
Mr.. Lyon has introduced at his
store and which is already a
most popular one, is the cozy
corner fitted up with settees,
rocking chairs etc. for the ac-
comodation Of the stores lady
patrons. The cozy corner is
supplied with all the late ma
gaines and daily papers. An
unique and pretty feature of
the stores adornment is the ar
rangement along the wall on
both sides of the room. A large
crescent bearing some trade
phrase, rests on two smaller
crescents, each of the latter be-
ing set off with an incandescent
light. The smaller crescents
rest on pillars of canned goods
or merchandise built up from
the floor.
Mr.. Lyon invites the public
generally, to call, he don't care
whether you want to buy a wa
gon load of goods or have a
nickel changed, he will be glad
to have you call and inspect his
establishment.
