Do You
Know?
Do you know, man, who wears good
clothes, that there's probably not another
clothing house in this vicinity which con
fines itself as exclusively to all-wool, fast
colored fabrics, as we do? Do you know
what that means in an Overcoat, Suit or
Ulster? What service and satisfaction it
assures? The fabrics have to stand acid
and alkali tests; sun and water tests, and
strength tests before they arc made into
our Blue Label C.'oUiing.
Careless Shooting.
Last Monday night several youni;
men, presumably members of Com
pany 15, stood in front of the
armory on Locust street and
deliberately fired a dozen shots
through the Blankenburg and Her
shey buildingF. Several of the ball
passed through Blankenburg's
large window and striking saddlery
on the inside caused a loss of
twenty-five or thirty dollars to that
gentleman. One of the balls enter
ing the Hershey building pierced
the steel nm of a bicycle, while
another passed through the box of
buggy.
This is about the most malicious
piece of work that has occurred in
North Platte for some time: it was

attempt is being made to ferret out
