BIG STORE
WILL SOON QUIT
Winding Up of Big Establishment Not
An Easy Task.
FIXTURES TO Be SOLD SOON
Help Securing Positions With Other
Merchants.

The big store will soon win UP it's
affairs for good. The Omaha Clothing Co.
doing business for nearly fifteen years
at l3l6-13ls Farnam street. are making
elaborate preparations to quit the game
for fair.
The management having the interests Of
its forty-five loyal employees at heart, have
been instrumental in placing many of the
employees with other merchants. II is
much to be regretted that the shop with
its faithful help and hundreds Of stead
fast patrons should quit the field. Al
ready the public is showing their deep
interest IN the matter and bidding the
clerks a hearty farewell.
The stock Of this large establishment
is going fast and bargains galore are TO
be had in all departments. The sale ends
December cath. and those wishing 10 par
take Of the many bargains. should buy
early and get in at the finish.
The management is making 1t an OBJ
ject for the out-of-town citizens by pay
ing round-trip transportation to their store
one Of the firm stated the idea was
unique, but expensive. But, it is a good
idea to close out the goods and pocket
the loss rather than PACK the goods and
ship them away. in which event the los,
would be very heavy.
The sale ends December 24th, and those
that wish to get bargains should not de-
Law the buying any longer.

FINDS A WAY At LAST
Couple Engaged Forty Years Ago
Finally Get Married.
PARENT BROKE EARLY MATCH
Meantime Man Goes West, MarrieS
Another Woman, but Gets Di-
vOrce, Then Meets First
Love in Omaha.

DELAYED a little more than a week by the
Elk months time limit required by the Ne
b-aska divorce law. the frIition OF the ro-
nance of Lee Bryan Of Craig. Colo, and
Mrs. Carrie Younkins of Omaha came
Tuesday just thirty-seven years after it
started back in Illinois.
Mr.. Bryan secured a license to wed Mrs.
Y%ounkins. who was his boyhood sweetheart
before he came west. After the ceremony
they will go 10 Colorado to begin their
dream of bliss which was delayed almost
forty years by the dictates of a stern
parent.
Thirty-seven years ago Mr.. Bryan and
the young woman lived IN the same town
in Illinois. They were sweethearts and de-
ermined to wed, but their parents broke
up the match and Bryan left in despair,
going to Colorado. There he married, but
lived unhappily with his wife. and fifteen
years ago they separated and have not
oeen living together since.
June l he secured a decree Of divorce,
and being free to wed again his mind went
back TO his first love and he found her
living IN Omaha, a widow of five years.
He came here and she accepted him. but
the requirement of the law. as strict as the
dictates OF their parents years ago. kept
them from marrying at once. MI. Bryan
applied for a license, but he was told he
must wait until December /, when the six
months would be up. Bright and early
Tuesday morning he was az the office to
secure the license.
Mr.. Bryan is a prosperous business man
at Craig. Colo. and they have gone there
to begin life together at the age Of 50 and
IS. respectively.

a stock train to work for an Omaha paint
ing and paperhanging firm and I was
coming in to visit friends. I consented &c
bring his baggage, as he had business "a
attend to that would be hampered by his
having to care for a suit case"
When Summers arrived in the city and
did not find Miss Carroll and his suit
case, he told the police and gave them the
impression that they came here to be
married. Finally locating her through the
agency Of the police, to whom Miss Car.
roll gave summers suit case when he dc
not call for It at the Laird home, he went
to the latter place. Mrs. Laird denied
him an opportunity to talk TO her unit
