Having been fortunate enough to secure the agency for the Blau-Gass, we
are goinj to reduce our immense Hardware Stock and evenually close it out entirely, retaining only the
Heating and Plumbing end. In order to accomplish this quickly we are making the prices quoted in this
advertisement. This sale will coutinue uniil we find a buyer for our stock and will give you an opportu
nity to get goods at less prices than they were ever offered in Plattsmouth before.
It is impossible to itemize prices on every item, as it would take over a month to go through and ite
mize everything separate. We wish to state that outside of heating and plumbing material we are not
holding back anything, but will discount every article, as we are positively going out of the hardware end
ot our business. With the new line that we have taken it will take all the time we have to give it proper
attention, and if there anything you need in the hardware line you would do well to look over our stock.
We are going to advertise our stock for sale in the leading papers and very likely will have a buyer for
the entire stock in a very short time, so if there is anything you need it would be well to get it at once.

Omaha, July IS. Nathan IlernsteiD
left lor Lincoln to attend a meeting ol
tho Htate executive insurgent commit
tee of the Modern Woodmen of Amur

consider the general wolfure of the In
nurgent. movement against the ad
ance of rates and to note the prog
tchb of the Injunction cusea In Illinois
and Iowa.
This evening he depart for ,Den
er, Pueblo and Trinidad. In the
Colorado towns he will visit with the,
insurgents and help stir up sentiment,
besides renewing acquaintances. Mr.
Jlernnteln was assistant principal ol
the Trinidad high school for five years
and has lectured all over Colorado.

tvn Woodmen treasury," says Mr.
Bernstein.
Many Protests Received.
"We have also received a great
many notes of protest and Indignation
because th" 'idmlnistratlon has taken
upon itself to put suspended members
Into Ron! standing without paying nr
rearaces or paving for undergoing a
tnedlen1 examination, something which
la absolutely required by the bylaws.
"It needs but a moment's reflection
to show the Injustice of this to those
member who at considerable sacrifice
liave kept up the payment of their as
psnrncnts. This last act is of a piece
with the payment of bonuses to local
clerks who change benefit certificates
from the old to the new plan.
"The members claim that the ad
ministration has no right to so sqnan
dtr their hard earned money and they
view with ntnnxement the payment ol
over $40,000 monthly to deputies who
are putting In most of their time fight
Ing the Insurgent movement, because
It must not he forgotten that this mon
ey belongs to the rank and tile of the
order and not to tho administration.
"It has been ascertained that more
than 90 per cent of the Woodmen In ;
Nebraska are insurgents, but In some
camp', by reason of promises, It la
aid, local clerka are doing all they
can to retard the progress of tho In
surgent movement. Many of these
clerks have been warned that If this
toe not sufficient, actlvo roeasurea will
soon be taken to replace them with
men loyal to the Interests of tho order."
