IN FRONT OF
Saturday Might, Pareh IStih,
BETWEEN 8 AND 9 O'CLOCK
In order to get rid of every Winter hat in our store so as to make room for
our Spring Millinery, I have decided to take this drastic means to dispose of the
above mentioned stock. Previous to this "Conflagration Sale" I will inaugurate
a Graduation Sale, and it will be conducted in the following manner: Commenc
ing at one o'clock Saturday afternoon, I will place on sale every Winter trimmed
hat in my store at 9Sc. Every hour the price will drop 10 cents. Here is how it
will be done:
I TO 2 O'CLOCK

This sale is commenced at one o'clock in order to give the ladies from the country a chance
to participate in the Greatest Closing Out Sale of Millinery ever conducted by a store in the State
of Nebraska. I want to impress upon the minds of the ladies the well known fact that the feath
ers, flowers or other trimmings on these hats are worth three or four times as much as is charged
for the entire bat at the hour when the sale opens. I positively will not carry over one of these
hatsand do as is done by some dealers, push them off on the public a year from now as new crea
tions in millinery. They will be burned in plain view of the public that all who see may know.
Remember the Big Bon-Fire Sale of Millinery Saturday Night,
- Between Eight and line O'clock!

Catarrh of the Stomach.
This is one of the most common
diseases and should be called Infla
matlon of the mucuous membrane of
the stomach. It is usually caused by
excesses In eating or drinking. In
many caseB people call it Just indis
position and try to cure it by eating
highly spiced or sour food and by
rlnking strong alcoholic liquors. This
win ao more aamage to the poor
stomach than they know. The only
correct remedy is Trlner's American
Elixir of Bitter Wine, because it will
at the same time stimulate and
strengthen the stomach and make it
able to accept nutritious food. What
ever the cause of the catarrh of the
stomach, Triner's American Elixir of
Bitter Wine will bring swift relief.
Use It as soon as you notice a
change in your appetite or bodily
strength. Try it in maladies of the
stomach, the bowels, the nerves and
the. blood. At drug stores. Jos.
