CHIEF
NATIONAL
RANGE
different from all
oincrs m
Although this range may have
an exterior appearance resemb
ling the Ranges exhibited in other
stores in the city, and therefore
does not appeal to you, as a sub
ject of special attraction. We
assure you that it is decidedly
construction, containing those particular
features which make it the best Kange ever offered to the U3er. The
firebox is so constructed that the heat will radiate into the oven at the
same moment a fire is started. Consequently, soon as the fire has at
tained the Necessary 250 degrees of heat, the oven also will register the
same temperature; therefore, it is ready to bake. The results of this
direct action will have a telling effect on the coal pile, saving nearly
half the fuel used in ordinary stoves. The fire back lining is guaranteed
for 5 years use.'; The front section of the top can be suspended, making
u convenient place for broiling or toasting. A special cover or lid'on top
is arranged for cooking oat meal, milk.rice, etc., without fear of scorch
ing. The body is made up of three distinct walls, which retain all heat
into the stove. If you will call at my store and examine this Range, you
will admit th?re is no other to equal it at prices that will meet
your approval. I have some special bargains in express wagons, child
and Misses Rockers, bookcases.

WANTS STATEHOOD
Governor Curry Says New Mexico
Citizens Are Capable and
Deserve it.
Governor Curry, of New Mexico mak
ing his annual report to the govern
ment at Washington makes an excel
lent showing for his people and says
they desire statehood: The Washington
correspondent to the World Herald has
the following to say touching the re
port:
We have a wide-awake, progpessive,
industrious and intelligent population
and we want to be treated like men."
In these words Governor Curry of New
Mexico asks statehood for his territory
in his annual report to the secretary of
the interior, made public today.
Governor Curry says New Mexico's
credit is excellent, that no strikes mar
the record of its industries; the laws
enacted, by its legislature are good gam
bling i3 prohibited and the "Sunday
closing" rigorously enforced. So, he
concludes. New Mexico deserves state
hood. .
The governor states that the popula
tion of the territory is over 450, 000, and
that there is over $300,000,000 worth of
property in New Mexico, in addition to
its coal, timber and fertile lands.
He asks that the Carey land act be
extended to the territory and the bill
now beforo congress providing for a
Seventh judicial district for New Mexico
be enacted into law.

RIOTS AT HAVELOCK
Trouble Between Street Car Com
pany and Citizens Over
Ten Cents Fares.
The troubles between the Havclock
citizens and the street railway which
ha3 been brewing for some time reached
a critical stage last night when 150 men
took possession of the tracks. A special
to the Omnha Bee by. 'phone under
date of the 22nd has the following to
say concerning the trouble:
"A telephone message from the Bur
lington railroad shop town of Havclock,
six miles front- Lincoln,, at 2 o'clock
this morning said a . mob of l.'O men
was tearing up the tracks , of the Lin
coln Traction company. .- Majigr'
Humphrey of the ttactionfipllny had
posted a guard - ajjiavelocfc earlier in
the night(jwtrwhen the mob began
woiir-"5DDealed to Mavor Hinlvte of
lavelock for protection. Sheriff Hoag-
land was called upon to send assistance.
There has been no collision - so .far as
known. A party left Lincoln for the
scene shortly after 2 o'clock. .
The action of Havelock people is due
to resentment against the street car
company over cars fares, the demand
for 3-cent fares,, from the shop town to
Lincoln, instead of 10 cents, the fare
imposed.
A late telephone message says an at
tempt is being made to burn the trac
tion company barns at Havelock.
" A message from University -Plaee,
near Havelock, says fire ' was set to a
small bridge over which the car tracks
pass, but the fire was put out. Men,
said to be under the influence of liquor,
are carrying fuel to the bridge and de
clare they will burs it."

proposed rate is an increase over the

The railroads have already filed no
tices with the the commission announc
ing a general increase in freight rates.
A six j to take effect January 1. covering the
D. 'P. i entire country from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast. The increase is said to
be almut 1 per cent and to apply only
on transcontinental business. -The
(Oregon and California shippers have
already protested against these rates
as "'unjust and unreasonable" and will
appeal to the Interstate Commerce
commission. Under'V.the recent ' su
preme court 'decision the commission
will have no power, pending a final ap-
peal to the court, to fix the rates, . but
can only hear complaints and fix a
maximum rate, where the , complaints
satisfy the commission that the rates
in existence are unjust" and unreason
able. Subject to that laborious process
of correction, the railroads are still
free to fix their own rates. As a re
sult of this condition, some of the
leaders in congress strongly favor
amending the law so as to give the
Interstate Commerce commission full
authority to fix rates, as well as to
determine when a rate is excessive.

He was one of the most careful and
painstaking officials the county . ever

just as he did his own. He was not
lavish in expenditure nor niggardly
economical, but was a warm anti-saloon
