Hand". Miss Thelnia Hudson also
favored the members of the party
with a pleasing solo as did Mr. H. W.

of the features of the program was
the drum solo by Edgar Wescott, who
was accompanied by his father, E. II.
Wescott at the piano and the young
iimn showed great skill and ability in
bis work. Adding to the interest of
the program were the readings by
Mis Huth Jacks, Miss Lillian Talaeek

were of the mo.st pleasing nature and
completed tho well balanced pro
gram. , The ladies had not only provided
Ati excellent program but as well had
at ranged a sumptious array of re
freshments that proved the crowning
delight of the evening and the cake,

were present at the social in a body,
coming uniformed and their yells and
cheers for the legion and the ladies
of the auxiliary testified to their in
terest in these two patriotic organ;

dies of the Auxiliary might in the

RESULT OF
BARGAINS CIR
CUS PLEASING
MERCHANTS WHO HAVE PART IN
GREAT SALES PRODUCER,
HIGHLY GRATIFIED.
ADVERTISING AND BARGAINS
Have Combined to Bring Many from
a Distance To Continue un
til Next Saturday Night
The result of the Bargains Circus
in the way of increased business for
the firms taking part in it, has been
more than successful during the
week ending today, in which time
the stores have more than doubled
their volume of business.
The trade has been steady thru-
out the week, with exceptionally
large sales on Friday and Saturday.
Many hundreds have come to Platts-
mouth to visit the stores, not only
those of the promoters, but of other
merchants as well, resulting in a
very noticeable improvement in the
general sales situation over the city.
The six stores promoting the Bar
gains Circus, those of C. E. Wescott's
Sons. E. G. Dovey & Son, E. A. Wurl,
Joseph Fetzer, F. P. Busch and H. M.
Soennichsen, have offered some ex
ceptional values during the past
week which the careful buyers have
been fortunate in taking advantage
of and many who have never traded
in this city have come here to share
in the large array of exceptional
offers.
The able advertising campaign
staged by Harry II. Harding of the
Kelly Sales Co., of Minneapolis, has
brought results to the business
houses of the city that cannot be
other than satisfactory and his as
sistances in conducting the sale has
stamped him as a man of marked
ability in his chosen lines.
These sales of the Bargains Circus
are to continue during the coming
week and even greater opportunities
will be given the public to secure
some real trading specialties that
they cannot afford to pass up.
The result has also demonstrated
that riattsmouth is an ideal trading
point for this territory and that the
ery best class of goods and large
and well chosen stocks await the
inspection of the careful bpyer.

vestigated the matter thoroughly and
have come to the conclusion that the
store was not visited by robbers but
that it was merely a case of a poor
lock on the door that does not al
ways catch when locked and that
when tried the first time the lock
had held, but upon the second visi
tation of Officer Trout was loosened
so that it permitted the door to be
opened.
When the door was found to open
Officers Trout and McBride entered
the store and made a thorough search
for the night visitors but without
success an 1 the fact that there was
nothing taken leads to the opinion
that it was merely an undue alarm.
