Lead, Belle Fourche and other import
ant points. II Is calculated to proper
tionatoly reduce the cost OF groceries

which the freight cuts large figure.
The railway men also calculate that
this cut will help the Omaha jobbers

Attorney II. G. Bronze OF Omaha has
returned from business trip to
France where he sought to straighten
out legal knk in the estate of n de
ceased Frenchman Victor Casanavc.
Mr.. Bronze declared that he found
than here save things to eat which
were about half what they would cost
in a first class New York restaurant.
Mr. Bronze incidentally explained one
reason why the Uuited States nipple.
ment dealers are able to sell agricul-
tural machinery cheaper across the
water than in this country. They dis.
pose of out-of.date patterns and UNI
desirable kinds and always get the
cash, while over here a sale Is scarcely
ever made except on time. Mr.. Bronze
returned with little love for the for
eign land implanted in his breast.
