Don't Sell the Old Tires as Junk
They are Valuable. Something New
Reduce your Tire Kxpense from 50 to 75
Other autoists profit by this economy, why shouldnt you. Bring
me your old tires and I will save'you some money.
We mean by C-W Rebuilt Tires, that for each pair of old tires you
sent us, we manufacture for you a tire not duplicated on the market.
Through our process of selecting, tearing down and steam vulcan
izing together, we have added from one-third to one-half more material
and strength than your tire originally had.
The tread will be much heavier, giving greater resistance against
puncture; the side walls much thicker, eliminating rim cuts and blow
outs; practically getting away from these dreaded defects you have
experienced in tires in the past.
Do not confuse our process of rebuilding with the old manner of
sewing or riveting two old tires together. We rebuild by factory
process.
We do all k.nds of tire and tube repairing in addition to building
tires. If your work has not been satisfactory in price or workman
ship, send it to us wo absolutely guarantee first-cljtss work.

The theft of eighty rods of the trol
ley wire on the Sioux City, Crystal
Lake and Homer interurban line
yesterday interrupted traffic on the
line, and last night the Sioux City
police were attempting to locate the
stolen copper in this city. The cop
per wire was cut down at a point
half way between South Sioux City
and Dakota City. According to
Sheriff Cain, of Dakota City, the
thieves used an automobile and
drove to Sioux City with the loot.
There were three men in the party,
he said. The wire which was taken
weighed about 330 pounds and was
valued at about $1G0. according to
Riley Howard, of Dakota City, presi
dent of the interurban company.
A long wooden wire cutter was
found by Shiriff Cain yesterday
morning in the snow a short dist
ance from the point where the wire
was cut, and evidently had been
used by the thieves. An old auto
mobile tire was found near the road.
The automobile used by the thieves
had chains on the front tires, ac
cording to Sheriff Cain. A. L.
Mathwig, chief of police, of South
Sioux City, has been notified of the
theft and was in Sioux City last
night tracing clews. According to
Mr. Howard, an attempt to steal
the. trolley wire was made last
winter, but was frustrated when
the thieves were frightened away.
Sioux City Tribune, (5: Mrs. Nel
lie Reynolds was given a decree of
divorce from Marcus Reynolds on
the ground of desertion. Judge
Jepson signed the decree. The Reyn
olds were married at Dakota City on
July 10, 1913, and the alleged deser
tion took place October 28, 1914 . . .
Although Mrs. Marjorie Metcalfe
Carey, 10 years years old, emphati
cally denied that she was "kidnaped"
by Bert Carey, 2G years old, of Ti
conic, la., Carey was bound over to'
the grand jury late yesterday by
Justice Browning. Carey waived
arraignment. He was admitted to
bail and furnished a $750 bond for
his appearance in the district court.
The girl declared that she willingly
went with Carey from her home near
Holly Springs in an automobile to
Dakota City, Neb., yhere they were
married last Tuesday. She denied
that he "enticed hor from home,'.1 as
charged in an information filed with
Justice Browning and signed by the
girl's father, Morris Metcalfe, of
Holly Springs. "I love Bert and
went with him because I wanted to,"
the girl said. "No one can keep us
from living together. I want him
and will get him even if he has to
go to prison now. He loves me and
has for a long time. He always has
been kind to me and my family and
I don't see why the folks should ob
ject to my marrying him." It' de
veloped that the chief objection
against Carey was that he had not
been working steady the past few
years. The Metcalfes allowed him
to visit the girl at her home and did
not object to their daughter keeping
with him, the girl declared. Only
afterthey "eloped" to Dakota City
and were married did the father
make known that he objected to
Carey as a husband for his daughter,
she said. The girl was in Sioux City
yesterday. She came with her hus
band who was arrested a second
time by Constable E. B. Metcalfe,
a relative of the young wife. Carey
was lodged in the city jail to await
his hearing before the justice. The
girl said she testified boforo the
grand jury and that when she finish
ed she was. given the Impression that
the case against Carey would be
dropped. Carey left immediately to
join his wife when he was released
on bond today. They will live with
his parents at Ticonic.
Dallas, S. D., News: John Casey,
of Council Bluffs, la., and Miss Ve
ronica Casey, of Clinton, In., arrived
here last week in response to mes
sages informing them of the serious
illness of their father, Thomas Casey,
whose death is recorded elsewhere.
They will stay at home with their
mother for some time". Two sisters
of Mr. Casey came for the funeral
Tuesday, Mrs. Danliartnett, of Hub
bard, Neb., and Mrs. John Hodgin,
of Jackson, Neb . . . .Thomas J. Casey,
one of the most prominent farmers
of this section, died at his homo a
mile south and a half mile east of
Dallas, Saturday morning at 11:30,
after an illness of about three
months, death being due to liver
trouble. Mr. Casey had within the
last couple of months sought surgi
cal aid at Rochester, Minn., and at
Omaha, but nothing could be done
.or him. Thomas J. Casey was born
at Ontario, Can., on December 23,
1 8155, and was nearly G2 years old
when he passed away. Thirty years
ago he came to this country, locating
in Utah. Later he moved to Omaha,
where he married Miss 'Slla Kennelly,
the faithful wife who . urvives him,
on July 2G, 18S7. The young couple
went to western Nebraska where
they lived until they moved here
twelve years ago, when Mr. Casey
bought a relinquishment and home
steaded the quarter which he has
farmed ever since. Besides the
widow two sons, John, of Council
Bluffs, la., and Leo, at home; two
daughters, Mrs. Henry Axlund, of
Ideal, and Miss Veronica, of Clinton,
Iowa; and four sisters, Mrs. Dan
Hartnett, Hubbard, Neb.; Mrs. Thos.
Hodgins, Jackson, Neb.; Mrs. Dan
Sullivan, Seattle, Wash., and Mrs.
John Rider, Ontario, Can., survive
him. The funeral was held Tuesday
at 10 o'clock a. m., in the Dallas
Catholic church, Rev. Fr. Austin
Bonner officiating. Burial was made
in the new Catholic cemetery. All
who knew Thomas Casey esteemed
him highly. He was a model hus
band and father and a good citizen
in every sense of the word. As he
so often said of others, it is appro
priately said of him, he was a fine
man. His death will be deeply re
gretted in this community and his
family have the sympathy of all in
their loss.

CONTROL
Despite the fact that the prohibi
tory amendment carried by a ma
jority of 30,000 last November, or
ganization of the state senate last
Tuesday by the selection of Mattes,
democrat of Oto county, president
pro tern indicates control of that
body absolutely by the liquor and
predatory interests of Nebraska.
The election of Mattes precipitated
one of the most bitter fights ever
staged in the upper house. It is
well known that Senator Mattes was
the special champion and leader of
the liquor interests in the senate
two years ago and that he now owns
or until but recently has owned a
big block of stock in a Nebraska
City brewery.
One of the most ardent opponents
of Senator Mattes' election was Sen
ator Beal, dry democrat of Custer
county, who declared in his opposi
tion to Mattes on the floor of the
senate that the president pro tern
was "the special and unrepentant
champion of the liquor interests
of Nebraska."
Democratic Senator E. E. Howell
of Omaha sent a written explanation
of his vote against Mattes to the
clerk of the senate in which he de
clared that the senate majority is
"as daring a body of buccaneers and
ship scuttlers as ever infested a
legislative assembly." In addition
to the opposition of Senators Beal
and Howell, the dry democratic sen
ators Sawyer and Oberlies of Lan
caster county voted against Mattes.
Senator Howell's statement as sent
to and read by the clerk included
the following:
"I promised the people of Douglas
county to stand tor progressive leg'
islation and for progressive democ
racy. I do not propose at this time
to permit the same interests which
threatenened to destroy me politi
cally to bind, seal and deliver my
vote by any caucus action or cun
ning manipulations, with which they
are familiar, and in my judgment
no man will get far advanced in the
councils of the democratic party of
this state who so far forgets his ob
ligations to the ieople as to surren
der thoir rights into the hands of as
daring a body of buccaneers anil
ship scuttlers as ever infested a leg
islative body.
"The democracy of Nebraska is
on trial at this time, and it remains
for this senate by its actions to de
termine whether the progressive
democracy of. Wilson shall find rep
resentation in this hall, or whether
the bourbon democracy, with all of
the things which have been repudi
ated by a progressive people shall
find expression here. I would bo
recreant to the trust which the peo
ple repose in me, and unworthy of
their further confidence if I did not
at this time lift my voice in protest
against the attempted manipulation
of the interests in their agreed or
ganization of this senate. Thoy say
it is the act of a democratic caucus.
This 1 deny most vehemently. This
proposed organization is an organi
zation by, for and of the interests,
and if permited to stand, the people
need look for little helpful legisla
tion from this body."
DID NOT WANT A "DKY"
The appointment ot Otto Murshel
of Orel as Deputy Food Commission
er, was a disappointment to the pro
gressive democrats of Nebraska who
favored the appointment of Chair
irian Langhorst of the democratic
state central committee. It is
claimed li.it the appointment of
Murshel a-us dictated by the liquor
interestu ami that it was intended as
a direct slap at the dry contingent of
the democracy of Nebraska. The
deputy food commissioner is an im
portant factor in the enforcement
of any legislation which may be
passed in the furtherance of the
prohibition amendment. Mr. Lang
horst is an avowed "dry" and his
position probably accounts for his
failure to receive the appointment
at the hands of Governor Neville
who was the brewers' candidate in
the last campaign.
REPUHI.ICANS OUOANIZH
The republicans of the house and
senate have formed their organiza

the 1917 session of the legislature.
In the senate, Senator Bushee, a vet

the house, C. Pctrus Peterson, who
made an enviable record two years
ago, was selected by the republican
house caucus. Friends of Dennis
U-omn of O'Neill pushed him for
the honor and he came within three
votes of landing the prize. Repre-
