THE COAL FAMINE
In New York Oity has caused many Clothing establishments to close
down their plants, leaving the stocks on hand at the mercy of the re
tailers for they cannot keep goods over from one season to another on ac
count bi the radical changes in styles. KORN, HOLZMAN & CO of 733
and 735 Broadway, New York, was one of the large concerns that was
caught and our New York agent, Mr. J. Butler,
The Famous
The Clothing House
that revolutionized
Clothing Prices in
Northwestern Nebraska.
WE ORIGINATE
Bought 160 Suits and 89 Overcoats at 60 per cent on the Dollar.
This means that we can sell them at less money than any retailer can
buy them at and 40 per cent, cheaper than we ourselves had to pay at
the beginning of the season and in order to harmonize prices with the big
clothing deal, we will unmercifully CUT PRICES in all our other lines. A
careful perusal of prices below will show you that we ride rough shod
over any previous sale ever held in this section.
Remember this is not a Clearance Sale of shelf -worn cheap goods, but
brand New Choice up to the Second Merchandise.

We stand behind our goods. "We have never tried to get your trade by fake advertising which seems to have been
the method employed by some houses. We would rather have your good will and confidence than make a sale.
We are sole agents for the best makes, goods that have stood the test in ali the large cities and goods that bring
us business every day. If you are not already one of our regular patrons come in and see the MAMMOTH STOCK
WE CARRY, see the new styles. It will be a revelation to you. For in a town of this size a stock of high grade
merchandise in such generous quantities and of such sterling merit is seldom seen.

RAILROAD MEN'S WATCHES.
They Miiut lit liooil Clneit uud Iteau

A man with smoke kvo- 1 Into his
bands anil face walked hu one of the
downtown Jewelry stores rind handed
over a big gold watch and a card. The
rejmlr man looked at the watclL. made
some queer muiks on the curd and
handed liotli hack. And the man
walked out of the store.
"Didn't know von sell on the Install
ment plan," suggested the Inquisitive
loafer.
"Don't," was the laconic response,
and then the Jeweler explained. "The
man Is a locomotive 11 reman, and his
watch was being compared. You see,
It Is absolutely necessary that railroad
watches keep good time, and the mat
ter of making them keep good time has
beeu systematized.
"The flremeu, engineers, conductors,
rear i r.iuemen nr.d train i::rs'.rnoi n"
of the roads In this country have or
ders to have their watches compared
twice u month and Impeded every ix
months. On uiit toimU ucurlv nil f
KO
the employees ifre supposed to
through this same routine.
"When n watch Is bought by any or
these men, It must be passed upon by
the Jeweler who has been appointed In
upector for the road that the purchaser
serves. It must be a good watch, cost
ing about ?o.i, for the works alone, for
the rattle and Jolt of a train would se
riously affect a cheap watch, but It
may be of any make, provided It comes
up to the standard. Stop watches,
watches that tell the day of the week
and such complicated novelties are
barred. .V key winder Is not accepta
ble, nor Is a watch that has been
changed from a hunting ease to an
open face. An open faced watch is
preferred, though a good hunting case
watch is not turned down on the ma
jority of roads.
"After the Inspector has passed fa
vorably upon the watch he makes out
a slip to that effect and returns the
watch to the rn:'ro:idir. a'.miv with the
Indorsing slip and a small card. On
this card are a numbei'of nihil spaces.
Twice a month the railroader brings
Ids watch and card to tin lusnectur
wno notes on the caul whetuer xne
watch was fast or slow and how much,
whether It has stopped or run down
and whether or not he regulated It. In
this manner the Inspector eau tell Just
what the watch Is doing and what It
needs.
"At the end of each six months the
watch and the card are taken to the
Inspector, who makes n more careful
examination of the watch, Issues a new
card to the railroader and sends In the
old card to the headquarters of the road
for which the man works. A. duplicate
of these cards is kept In a book by the
Inspector.
"The railroad watches that arc most
closely watched by the Inspectors are
those that are carried by engineers and
llrcmen on those locomotives that are
fitted with electric headlights on ac
count of the danger of their becoming
magnetized. This danger is realized by
engineers, and many of them leave
their watch in the enh while working
nloui the headlight." Inuluimpu!'..

during a lull In the ringing of fares,
stood passing coins from one bund to
the other, turning up the date of each
coin as he did so. "There nre more
ways of making money than by 'knock
ing down' fares," he remarked, noting
the Inquiring look on a passenger's
face. "Any greenhorn can pocket a
dozen ulckels in collecting 120 fares in
a car built for forty-eight passengers,
but a man has got to know something
to spot a coin that has a premium val
ue. It's surprising how many more or
less rare coins pasg current without
falling Into the hands of some one who
knows their value. This was suggest
ed to me one day. and I took to study
ing the catulogue of dealers in rare
coins aud memorizing the dates of
those that arc worth more than the
prices stamped on them. Since then I
have picked out of the money I bavo
taken in fares several 'hundred coins
wll'.i a premium value ranging frcm a
I few cents to ?." aud have redeemed
I them with my own money and sold
i them to dealers in coins." New York
