FREE AUCTION SALE SCHEME Sam Smith Announces First One to Be Given on December 5. A new enterprise and one which s bound to become a big success if he people will only push it along will le that of Sam Smith which he iropescs to put into operation on Saturday, December 5. Mr. Smith prepeses to establish a free auction .narket at his Sixth street barn where the people can bring in anything they have to sell and have it disposed of without cost to them. The auction market will be what he says it will be absolutely free. Anything that you have to sell can be brought here and sold no matter what it is. This enterprise is backed by the Platts mouth merchants who have guaran teed a certain sum toward defraying expenses of the same. It is no graft but a plain, cold blooded busi ness proposition. What Is proposed is that everyone who wants to sell a thing can bring it here and sell it without paying a commission. This gives the receipts to the owner of the property. The first sale is De cember 5 and if you have anything at all to sell take it there and have it disposed of free. If you want to buy anything go" there and get busy on the bargains. Sam Smith is one of the city's hustlers and his new r: o.i ct should be pushed through to a certain conclusion. Remember this auction market is free absolutely and the place is the "Market Place," cor ner Sixth and Vine streets. Remem ber December 5. Compelled by Necessity. It may be said that most inventions re the result of necessity. Whenever we need something for our comfort we are making experiments until we succeed. We do not pay much atten tion to medicine, till compelled to do so by necessity. Only in those cases where our digestion is faulty, no experiments are necessary, because Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine is the only reliable remedy. It acts in a natural way, strengthening the stomach and making it able to accept food and prepare it for a thorough digestion. It will make all organs to start working again. Use it in all cases when you notice a de cline of your appetite and of your strength. At drugstores. Jos. Trin er, 616-622 Ashland avenue, Chicago, 111. F. A. Matzke, the carpenter and contractor is in Louisville this week doing some work for which he had contracted some time ago. Mr. Mat zke is a good workman, and those who contract with him will make no mistake. CONDUCTOR GROW- DER VERY LOW The Shock is Dcsdly, and Kcpe fcr the Unfortunate f.7an Abandoned From Si t in ila y's liiily. The condition of Joseph Cnv. der, the unfortunate Bui lingion conduct or whose leg was so badly mashed at Pacific Junction yesterday is very bad. Yesterday afternoon hu was taken to the local surgeon's office for the Burlington and preparations were made to amputate the crushed limb. At the lirst admint ration of the anesthetic, however, Mr. Crowder sank so rapidly that the sirgon decided that he could not withstand the shock of the amputation and it was decided to wait in the hopes that he might rally and strengthen himself for the oideal. This wan not the case however, but he seni-?d to steadily sink until there was lit tle hope entertained that he would survive the night. His wife, who had been s:it fur from his home at Creston, la., with his son, Leslie, a young boy of six teen, and his brother and mother, Mrs. M. A. Crowder, the two latter from Red Oak, la., arrived in the city last night about half past ten o'clock. They were brought to Pacitic Junc tion on No. 13 and came over to this city on a switch engine. The scene when they met the stricken husbani, son and brother, was pathetic in the extreme. Mr. Crowder wass kept at the surgeon's offices until this morn ing when he was removed to the Perkins house where he now lies, it is not believed that he can survive as he utterly failed to rally from th2 shock of the injury, and death is ex pected at any time. Mr. Crowder is a man about forty two years of age and for the past quarter of a century has been en gaged in the train service of the Bur lington on the Western Iowa divis ion. He is personally a most popular employe and his unfortunate acci dent has called forth a flood of sym pathy from his many friends. The two brakemen of his crew have stay ed with him faithfully and have done- everything possible for his relief. His medical attention was the best possible and no effort to save him has been left undone. Despite all this there is little hope entertained that he can pull through and should he do so it would be little short of a miracle. CHRISTMAS SUG GESTIONS FOR ALL Christmas is likely to be made a trying time by some folks. That 13 a fact the publishers of Everybody's realize, for they give a few hints, homely and useful, designed to make Christmas of 1908 a little easier for all the members of the family: 1 Let the children and make father help. Your children will know what your brother's children want. 2 Make a list of all the folks to be remembered. Do it now. Divide the list among the members of the family, and let the little ones whose juugment you doubt report plans before making purchases. 3 If you have a tree make a lark instead of labor in decorating. Let all the adults help, and neighbors who have no children. 4 A gift is supposed to repre sent your wealth of affection, not your bank balance. 5 You will give more pleasure with a thoughtful gift than with an expensive one. 6 Getting a big show for the money may do for some wedding, but never for any Christmas. 7-t If the panic or any other up set has made it impossible for you. to give as usual, write letters Instead. Your friends will like you all the better, sure. 8 Don't leave letters and cards for the last moment. Write them at your convenience and hold them till the proper time. 9 Mail everything to reach your friends before Christmas, and mark the packages "Open Christmas." Late guests and late Christmas presents are of a class. 10 Do your shopping early; you avoid the crowd; you help the mer chant and sales people, and you get a larger selection. 11 Wrap your gifts carefully and daintily. They give so much more pleasure than a sloppy package, evi dently rushed as if you begrudged the time. 12 If you send cigars, discover his brand and don't send worse. 13 Remember the people who have served you. 14 Any poor near you. Miss Margaret Mauzy, who has been employed during the past sea son as an expert trimmer at McCook, Neb., is again at home with her par ents to remain until February first. when she will again take up her pro fession.
