mlM:eTMalliig together with omr unequalled stock of
' i v cltfing,tc,? has gained for us many friends and lasting patrons.
"VYe are doing a good and satisfactory business, the result of our
a FAIR AND SQUARE
treatment and honest representations. Don't be misled. Many
of our friends will observe large, flaring advertisements and
hand-bills . to the effect of closing out sales. Now don't have the
' "wool" pulled over your eyes. These changes of business dodges
I- jhave been worked on you so often that they make you "tired."
THE PALACE
' does not advertise going out of business nor do we advertise a
closing out sale but we do advertise what we mean. We care
. not what our would-be competitors are selling goods for, we will
positively assure jrou the same goods for same money you pay
elsewhere. We are now selling goods at
ACTUAL FIRST COST,
Cheaper than our retiring friends. Mark this well: Men's, boys'
and children's clothing, hats, furnishing goods, etc., at actual cost
lor the coming week only. Call and convince yourselves that
ours are true genuine bargains for cash.

The Broken'iBow Jlcpubliam records
the fact tliat Sheriff Penn and the state

afternoon where they had been to inves
tigate reports of diseased horses, which
resulted in killing one for W. H. Gunni
son, another for Andrew Bizer and a fine
stallion for E. S. Allen worth $500 or
$600. Mr. Bizer's horse was purchased
of parties that brought in their horses
this spring from the east. From the
number of glandered horses reported
over the state we think it would be a wise
plan to quarantine the state against
diseased horse?, by requiring all shipped
into the state to pass an examination.

was the only safe gasoline stove made, but in 1887, the first year it was
introduced in North Platte, FORTY-SIX were sold, more than was. sold

Yes. That Buffalo man's remedy. If
you do, I can start up at once. When the
