John Gauer and George Thlerolf of
that city who had been at Nebraska
City and who were unfortunate v!.
tlms of the delayed Missouri Pacific
passenger train from that point to
this city. The gentlemen stopped
over night in this city, registering at
the Hotel Riley and were passengers
this morning for their homes at Ce
dar Creek. Messrs. Metzger and
Gauer have not yet gotten over shak
ing hands with themselves over their
narrow escape from injury or pos
sible death in the accident at Cedar
Creek. Mr. Metzger is authority for
the statement that his hair came
as near standing on end that time
as it everdld. He figures that he
has had a number of narrow escapes
from death or injury in the past year
and that this was one of the nar
rowest of them. Not long since he
came near being knocked beneath
some cars while they were being
switched at Cedar Creek and shortly
before that he Just escaped being run
down by a passenger train. He has
had so many escapes that he has be
come some nervous and grown ex
ceeding cautious in all his move
ments. Stewart Case Not Heard.

seems small probability of its being
accepted by the defendants. The
case will go over for the present and
if not settled it will likely come up
In that district and a case of unus

before him.

The Department Store Has a
Large Line to be Sold.
We want to close out 'our entire
line of Spring Millinery, and are
willing to make a great cut price In
order to do so. We have on hand
over 200 Swell Trimmed Hats, all
brand new, bought for the spring
trade. We also have a large line of
jlowers, fancy feathers, Ostrich
plumes, and wings, ornaments, vel
velts, chiffons, mullins and everything
pertaining to the millinery depart
ment, all of which will now be sold
at a greatly reduced price. Also bear
In mind that we trim hats free of
charge.
Lookout for Old Goods.
When you purchase your hats at
some other stores you are in danger
of getting old goods and styles, which
is not the case at our store, for all
our hats are new and will bear the
closest Inspection, for as every lady
In the city and community well
knows that last summer we closed
out our entire line of summer hats
at as low as 5c each, and In order
to clean up the old line entirely, the
winter hats were burned in front of
store this spring. Other places you
might find an out of season hat, but
here you cannot posslbuy get any
thing but new goods, bought for and
made up for this spring's trade.
Now. the spring season is drawing
to a close, and our trimmers may
not be with us many weeks longer,
so we impress upon your mind that
if you want your hats trimmed free
of charge, our expert trimmers are
at your service, but we ask you to
come in soon as they will not remain
long.. Bear in mind that we are of
fering everything at a great reduc
tion, and will prove this to be true
If you will call and see.

the deceased and touched the heart
chords of all who heard them. There
was some appropriate music by mem
bers of St. Luke's choir, a number,
of tho songs which deceased had so
well loved in his life time, being
rendered. There were large floral of
ferings from the many intimate
