These gentlemen are among our
particularly successful business men.
who by sound. progressive, yet con-
servative principles, have advanced
themselves to prominent position as
citizens and as representative type
of hustlers. Green, Bell & Co. have
acquired conspicuous position in our
business progress, the result of enter
prise. thrift and keen business intel
lect. In the real estate, insurance and
rental business, the city of Lincoln
recognizes Green, Bell & Company.
The present patronage they enjoy is a
tribute to their zeal and well-directed
efforts to render a square deal to
every man. Green, Bell & Company
have been in business since 1892 and
enjoys extensive patronage among the
people of our city. Mr. Green is a
firm believer in home patronage, and
has done much along this line. He

THE LINCOLN DRUG CO., WHOLE
SALE DRUGS.

Lincoln is rapidly growing in every
essential element and her commerce,
trade and manufacturers have multi
piled at very satisfactory rate At
the present time our business men
are reaching out in all directions and
bringing under commercial tribute to
this city vast eras of territory hither-
to but little reached from here. In like
manner our great manufacturing con-
Germs are constantly invading new ter
ritory, so there are at the present time
but few places in the country where
the articles from Lincoln are not to
be found in greater or less profusion.
A field of industry that has gained i'm
mense proportions in this city is that
of the Lincoln Drug Co, an industry
that is one of the foremost factors in
promoting the commercial Importance
and general development of the COM
munity. The marked success of this
company is attributed in no small de-

SINGER SEWING MACHINE CO.,
1886 O STREET..

The perfection of modern mechani-
cal art has produced many machines
which are almost human in the scope
of their possibilities and have SO near
ly revolutioniZed business methods
that those of twenty-five years ago
are looked upon as primitive and crude
indeed. In no instance is this more
true than in the case of the Singer
Sewing Machine, and while there are
many and varied makes of this house
hold necessity on the market today,
we feel justified in saying that the
product of the Singer Sewing Machine
Co, whose output reaches over 1,500,-
600 annually, leads all competitors.
The Grand Prix at the Paris Exposi-
ton was awarded by the International
Jury to the Singer Sewing Machine Co.
for superior excellence and design,
construction, efficiency and for marked
development and adaptation to all
work, either in the family or the fac
tory. The only grand prize for sew
ing machines awarded at Paris was
unanimously given to the Singer Co.
At the Worlds Columbia Exposition in
Chicago the International Jury award
ed fifty-three distinct prizes to the
Singer product, more than all others
combined. AT the Pan American ex-
position the highest award for sewing
machines was also granted this com
pany, which emphasizes the merits
of Singer. The branch in this city
is located at 1886 o street, from which
Lincoln's people have direct care and
attention. Mr. J. R. Black is the gen
eral agent for the company in this
city.

Quoted by Henry Pfeiff at 81 South
Eleventh street. Mr.. Pfeiff is dealer
in staple and fancy groceries, and the
stock carried embraces everything to
be had in a frst-class store of this
kind. The success he has achieved
in building up such large trade is
due to honest and fair treatment of all
patrons. He delivers goods to any
part of the city and the clerks are al
ways attentive to business and, en-
deavor to please all customers. Mr..
ffeiff is in every way friendly to union
labor. The wage earners in this city
know Mr. Pfeiff well and patronize him
generously, and in this they make no
mistake. He also has meat market
in connection. Mr. Pfeiff has been in
business twenty years.

One of the particularly good gro
ceries of Lincoln, and one deserving
of generous patronage, both for the
excellent quality of goods handled and
their uniformly friendly attitude to-
wards labor, is that of F. N Hotaling
The gentleman carries full line of
groceries and provisions, teas, coffees,
spices, provisions and everything to
be had in a first-class store of this
kind. In addition to favorable grade
of goods, this firm is most courteous

This has enlisted a number of wage
earners. An order over the telephone
is given as much care as a customer
at the store, and goods are promptly
delivered to any part of the city. Mr..
Hotaling has just started in business
at this new location and will appre-
ciate any orders. His motto is, that
there are no orders too small and
none too large. Remember the loca-

LINCOLN TELEPHONE co.

The telephone is the most indispen-
sable necessity of today. 1t unites
family and annihilates time and dis
tance, travels as it were, in the frac-
ton of a minute, answers to your wh1m
and humor, and generally speaking is
the least expensive of all public serv-
ice Telephone service as rendered by
the Lincoln Telephone Company rep
resent that great efficiency The brains
and genius of matured telephone ex-
perts, it is an era when wage earners
now can avail themselves of its great
features. The Lincoln Telephone Co.
is purely a home institution and is
owned entirely by local people. This
company has in operation over nine
thousand phones, and connects with
over one hundred thousand phones in
the south Platte and neighboring
states. With Denver and Omaha both
adding Independent local plants 1t is
made possible for Lincoln users of the
Automatic Telephone to talk with
either city. and all important points.
The growth of this company has been
phenomenal, and it is the earnest de-
sire of it's management to give to sub
scribers the best possible telephone
service A large number of new sub
scribers are being daily added to their
new list. Every dollar paid to this
company for service rendered and
wages and salaries paid to it's en-
ployes is spent right here at home
among our home merchants, and does
not go abroad. We urge our citizens
to cooperate and patronize this worthy
home institution. The most success
full of the Independent exchanges are
those that are equipped with the auto
matte system. With the automatic
there are no delays, no ringing con-
nections, no nerve-racking service with
operators. You operate the simple
calling machine yourself; you ring
your party's bell yourself, and you
know the party has been called and
rung. If he is busy you get a busy sig
nal if he is out you get no reply. This
is simple and business-like. Uniform
courtesy to patrons is an imperative
rule of this company. The officers are
F. H. Woods, president; A. w. Field,

and treasurer; L. E. Hurtz, general

Topeka TO STAY.
According to the Statement of
Secretary ]. III. Farrell.
The Local Baseball Club viii
Play in Western Association.
NO TRANSFER NOW.
Would Be Against the Terms of
National Agreement.
Fans Must Give Up Idea of Being
Western Leaguers.

Leavenworth, Kan, April 3.-R E.
Davis, secretary of the local baseball
club, announced his receipt of a letter
from ]. H. Farrell, secretary of the ma
tlonal board of. the National Associa-
ton of Baseball club, in which it is
stated that Topeka belongs to the West
ern Association and that no transfer of
its territory to the Western League can
be made under the National agreement.
AT last Mr.. Farrell has given an opin-
ion on the Topeka question. He was
the one man who knew how things
stood and yet he kept as mum as
wooden Indian. While Shively and
O'Neil were calling each other names
and each was saying that the other
should carry overweight in a race with
Ananias, Farrell didn't say a word.
The fight became tiresome and the
fans believed that neither Shively nor
O'Neill knew exactly where he stood
in the matter. Shively has always con-
tended that neither the commission nor
the board could take Topeka away
from him according to the laws of the
National agreement. He seems to have
been right. The only question was,
whether the board or the commission
would pass a ruling that would alter
the law in order that the Western
League might draft Topeka. No such
law will probably be passed and the
Topeka fans Will have to settle down
and give up the prospect of seeing Mike
Kelley and Pat Bohannon perform.

Herb Stoner, the old Joplin and Sc
dalia catcher who played with the
Louisville team in the American assoc
iation last season has been sold to the
Grand Rapids team in the Central
league and will play there this season.
Stoner got a good start for the big
leagues but he seems to have fallen by
the wayside. He was a good catcher
and his friends still have hopes of his
landing in faster company.
James Scott who is now twirling the
sphere for the Des Moines team in the
spring tryout is considered a find. He
was picked up out in Wyoming by
Jimmy Cantillon, another member of
the famous family, whose name is not
heard in baseball as much as is that of
his other brothers. Jimmy is a base
ball enthusiast but makes his money
working for a railroad out in the west
ern part of wyoming. Whenever he
sees a youngster perform whom he
thinks will make good he gets con-
tract blank from his brothers and get
a new player for some one of the Can
tillon teams.

from the plate on strikes. White was
touched up for eight safeties during
the seven innings that he worked for

threatened all Walsh had to do was
to put a little more juice on the ball
and the scorer would record another
