COMIT FINDS FOR THK IMAINTIFF.
Deolilon Handed Down In Cnne of
Smith Airnliiit Stnnllwonil ,
Judge Aylesworth In the superior court
yesterday handed down his decision In the
caee of E. C. Smith against C. W. Small-
wood and the First National bank of Man
chester , this state , finding for the plaintiff.
The suit Involved the ownership of a
promlsory note for $524.32 given by Small-
wood to A. L. Wellman at the time he
purchased the Ogden livery In this city
from Wellman. The note subsequently came
Into the possra'lon of the Manchester bank
and on suit being Instituted Smallwood paid
the amount Into court , leaving the matter
of to whom the mocey belonged to the court
to decide. Judge Aylesworth found that the
equities of the cause were with the plaln-
itlft , E. C. Smith , and ordered that he have
judgment against Small wood for the sum
of the note without coats and that the
$ G24.32 paid Into court be applied in satis
faction of the judgment.
The court further found that the note sued
on had been delivered by A. L. Wellman
to Smith as collateral security for the pay
ment of a debt. That subsequently arrange
ments were entered Into between A. L.
Wellman , the payee of the note , and his
brother , B. J. Wellman , whereby the latter
was to pay the debt due Smith and to
advance his brother a certain amount of
cash and as security for the payment of
the same Smith was directed to forward the
note to the Manchester bank with the writ
ten endorsement of A. L. Wellman , on the
understanding that the note was to be
turned over by the bank to B. J. Wellman
when ho had paid to the bank for Smith
the amount due him from A. L. Wellman ,
In conformity with this arrangement ,
Smith forwarded the note to the bank and
subscqucntfy and prior to January 1 , 1897 ,
the bank remitted to Smith the amount due
him from A. L. Wellman , which had been
paid by B. J. Wellman. While the note was
in the possession of the bank and after the
debt due from A. L. Wellman , to B. J.
Wellman , for the payment of which It had
been hypothecated , had"in fact been paid
and , while A. L. Wellman was vlrtuaUy the
sole owner of It , ho had on March 2 , 1898 ,
by a written assignment , sold to Smith the
note in controversy. This being the case ,
the court found that Smith , by reason of
this written assignment , became the owner
of the note and the Manchester bank had
no Interest therein. The costs of the suit ,
taxed at $41.05 , are charged to the bank.

Some people say that If they cannot afford
a fine Instrument they won't have anything.
Wo think that Is looking at It In the wronx
way. If you want your children to study
music , start them on something nice or
cheap , but give them the chance to learn
It somehow. It Is the education they want ,
not the piece of furniture. Just call at

" \\IILH \ \ ! HOW COLD ! "
In the biting November storms of the past week we have heard this
expression many times. It Is an old saying , but very expressive. There
Is no reason why a man should be' cold if he would just save half the
money lie squanders nnd spends for clothing and underwear.
We arc offering underwear nt prices never before known. We do not
advertise big clearing sales , but we do sell the best wool garment In the
city at $1.00.
In our clothing department we have suits from $5.00 to $20.00. but as
we have often told you. our suit at $7.50 Is the one which will lit your
purse and person. It is the best value we ever offered.
Don't understand that these suits at $7.50 are all the same. We never
flood the city with suits of one pattern , and you run slim chances of
meeting your neighbor in your clothes.
Then our overcoats. We have them In all weights and sizes. In
kersey cloth , chinchilla and Irish frieze ; in prices from $ . ' 5.50 to S'JO.OO.
Our overcoats at $5.00 are the same coat you paid $10.00 for last year.

you can buy a pnir of shoes at our store
for $3.50 that sell in any other store for
55.00. It that
means if you buy your
shoes of us you will
Save One-Fifty.
It is the money you save that counts.
Then why give away $1.50 when you can
just as well keep it in your pocket ? You
can see our § 3.50 shoes on more feet in
Council Bluffs than any other shoe in
town. This is ample proof of their popu
larity.We
We sell the best shoes made for $3.50.
We don't aim to grow rich on the sale of a
few pairs of shoes , but aim to sell them at T
a margin that will
keep you coming to our
store for shoes. As
we said before , you
can have the pick of any shoo in our store
for $3.50 and we mean it.
