market value that is always on the rise they never
drop in price so there is never any such thing as a

the way some Jewelers buy diamonds we for
instance buy direct of the importer and cutler, thus
saving you a middleman's profit. Off color diamonds
are not sold by us at any price. We have a new im

, Young Girl Dies.
Peo pie in town were greatly shocked
Wednesday morning to hear of the
death of Oleatha Powell, the fourteen
year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.
R. Powell, of this city.
For Homo time past she had been
suffering from St. Vitus Dance and for
the past two weeks her condition has
been serious and Tuesday nil hopes
for her recovery were abandoned by
the attending physicians and death oc
curred about 4:30 Wednesday morning.
All that was possible had been done for
her but too close application to her
tudies and worry over the knowledge
thnt she was unnble to continue with
her school work, wrought havoc with
the condition of the life, which bright
ened the now desolato home, bringing
on a nervous collapse, which ended fa
tally.
Of a sweet and sunny disposition, she
was beloved by all who knew her,
thoughtful and considerate always of
others first, she has endeared herself
to many. A vocalist of extraordinary
ability for one of her years, and over
willing to help, she often appeared ut
both public and private entertaipments,
winning only words of praise irom nor
learers. A sorrowing mother and father
and one brother are left to mourn the
death of a daughter and sister.
Oleatha Powell was born at Fort
Scott, Kan., January 23, 1890. She
has made her homo in this city for.sev
eral years past, attending the city
schools and this year would have been
in the eight grade.
The funeral services will be held
from the residence nt 2:30 o'clock to
morrow afternoon, conducted by Rev.
Porter of the Methodist church, In
terment will be made in tho North
Platte cemetery.
Obituary.
Entered into the rest of Paradise
Monday night at Omaha, Neb. Sept. 11,
1910, Mrs. Lillian O. Mariott beloved
wife of Frank Mariott of Oshkosh,
Nebraska at the age of thirty-eight
years.
The passing of Mrs. Mariott into the
ife beyond carries sweet memories to
those to whom she was near and dear.
Eighteen years of close companionship
endeared her to her husband who feels
the loss of a true and faithful wife,
while to her neighbors and friends the
virtues of a noble woman was sweet in
cense in every day life.
The remains of this noble woman
were interred in the North Platte cem
etery where they were accompanied by
oving relatives, friends and neighbors,
who could only cover her last resting
place with beautiful flowers and say;
"Rest in Peace."
Mrs. Mariott had been a devoted and
faithful member of tho Methodist church
since she was 14 years of age. Rev.
Porter consoled the friends from the
16th verse to thel7th Psalm while the
quartett sang "Nearer my God to Thee"
nnd "Abide in Mo", while Mrs. Frank
Hatch sang Calvary in n most impressive
voice.

There were few persons who knew
the Locke family oven hi a casual way
who had not discovered that Mrs.
Locke was In the habit of nagging her
husband nnd children. She loved them
dearly, lint at. times nobody would Uavo
surmised It.
"What did Mr. I.oeko say when ho
found himself safe after those hours
of danger'" some one asked n friend
who had been In company with Mr.
Locke on an ocean Htenemr which met
with an accident In inld-Atlantic. "He
never says tho ordinary thing."
"No." said the friend, with a dry
smile. "He didn't that time. I said to
hlin, 'James, we ought to make some
thing more of our lives from having
thenl spared to us In this way, for I
had felt pretty solemn, I can tell you.
I've no doubt Jiunei did. too, but what
he snld was, 'William, a good slinro of

plaining to Theodora how I happened
to iioo.o that steamer when there
were dozens of others that reached

"The best way is to drop

will have a friendly talk it
will do us both good. "
"I am busy of course, but
never too busy to have a little
chat glad to see you at any

The Long Spoon.
"Tomk.vns" recently heard the ex
pression "If you sup with tho devil
on will jieed a long spoon." "Though
1 never heard It before." he says, "II
Is evidently fairly well known, and
what 1 should like to know Is, What
does It mean, and where does It come
from''"
It means that If you nro going to sit
down to a meal with his Satanic
majesty you will need a long spoon
to avoid the necessity of getting too
near the old geutlemnn and, In Its
general sense, of course, 'it Implies
that If you have dealings with a dan
gerous or notorious person It behooves
you 'to use great caution. It comes
from one of the "Ingoldsby Legends,"
and the quotation reads:
Who suppos with tho Devlllo Bholdo-hnvc

His Interference.
The twlsls and turns taken by fak
ing horse dealers to get out of their
bad bargains are proverbial. A little
Incident Illustrative of tho trlbo took
place recently at a stablo on North
Ilroad street, whero an Irresponsible
settler hnd succeeded In palming off a
defective horse on a too easy buyer.
The new owner turned up with (ho
horso a few days after tho purchaso
and angrily exclaimed. "Didn't you
say this horse was perfectly safe and
wouldn't troiiblo anybody?" The deal
er coolly asked, "What's tho matter
with the horse?" The dupe replied:
You know well enough. Ho inter
feres badly." With a curt "Well, ho
doesn't Kterforo with anybody but
himself, does ho?" the fako dealer
brushed the matter aside, and tho pur
chaser found himself without a reme

A Great Military Feat.
Non.a, in Corsica, Is very proud of
tho story of a great military feat per
formed there long ago. It Is told In
"Romantic Corsica," by Oeorgo Hen-
wick.
Tho French In 17C8 had subjugated
all tho northern capo with tho excep
tion of tho tower of Nonza, which for
a considerable time sustained a closo
siege. Attacking parties were driven
back by a fierce tiro, but at last the
garrison agreed to surrender If allow
ed to march out with all the honors
of war. This was conceded, and old
Captain Cascella appeared, staggering
under a lend of muskets and pistols.
"Why Is tho garrison so long In com
ing out?" asked thjt French commander.
"It Is here, sir." replied Cascella. "I
am tho garrison."
