Among the explanations of the present

one of the most Interesting , v.hether It has
any basis In tact or not. People have been
found who averred that the smelting works
were to be moved to thin side of the river ,
that the Illinois Central would build Its long
proposed line to Omaha and Council BluFfp ,
that the Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy shops
would be moved hero from Plattsmonth , that
a number of large manufacturing enterprises
were to be located here through the efforts of
the several companies that have been or
ganized for ( lib purpose ot Inducing capital to
turn Council Illuffsward. But It is only re
cently that the Idea has been suggested Jhat
It Is ( ho plan of some of these Improvement
companies to cut a canal through the western
part of the city for the purpose of furnish
ing water power for the factories which are
expected to locate here. It Is claimed that
a canal could run from the river at n pulnt
not far above the Terminal company's bridge
In a southwesterly direction , Joining Indian
rreek , and that In this way many thousand
horcc power could he obtained. This miggos-
tloii Is not given as an ascertained tact , but
as all the other plans of the Improvement

the state chemist to whom the stomach ol
Mrs. Ella Mason , who was supposed to lm\e
been poisoned by her husband , was sent for
analysis , arrived In tills city today. He stated
that an analysis of the stomach would prove
nothing , as the presence of embalming fluid
which had been Injected by the undertaker
would prevent him from determining the
presence of arsenic. He ndUscd that the
body of the deceased be exhumed so he could
examine the lira In and olliei portions of the
corpse. The suggestion was acted upon , and

I BRAINS ( SOUND. )
Sound brains furnish practical ideas. A bat ,
being a close neighbor to brains , is entitled to har
vest the crop. We lend our brains to our hat de
partment. Three months of each year we study
how to obtain a practical , shape-retaining hat , for
little money. The result , compare any hat , at any
price , whether 4 , 5 or 6 dollars side by.side
quality to quality trimming to trimming to our
three dollar hat , and find ours overbalance the scale
certainly.
The "Nebraska Special" our one fifty leading
hat , is exceptionally fine this season--sold so far
over 400 dozen. Three dollars buys as good a hat
but in a few places. Derby , Fedora or soft.
Two and two fifty are our other prices , the
identical hat you pay § 3.50 and 54.00 for. Fash
ionably blocked and every shade appropriate for the
season shades , stiff Fedora , Tourist , soft and other.
Crushers we sell at 35C , 500 , 75C , $1.00 , $1.25 ,
considerably cheaper as a matter of course than
any one selling a line anywhere shades are every
thing that color hats.
Autumn weight overcoats. Shan't omit to ad
vise you in the matter of selecting a fall overcoat.
They're cheaper this year than ever before. If you
can't do as well elsewhere try us. We sh.ill please
you with a good dressy coat for four do lars. a bet
ter one for six fifty , increase in grandeur and dollar
by dollar in price until \ve reach a tailor made , ele
gantly draped beauty that'll cost you but fifteen del
lars. A sample of the queer and awkward overcoat
called "Paddock , " which is by "the way the new
est extreme for swell wear , on exhib.tion in our
Douglas street window.
