THE PALACE!
The Originators of Ideas which others Follow.
Always ofiering inducements to the trade and are indeed the only
genuine bargain givers in the town. Feels but lightly the dull
; times epmpetitprs speak of and wIlq ace envious of gi'Qwth
But willfcontifiue its course of Altering only the most reliable
grades of clothihg at lower prices thai! are usually charged for
far inferior qualities. THE PALACE knows it prices are the
lowest ever named in this city and calls the attention of all to
the following unparalleled feast of bargains it offers for the
4
COMI
In this lot we have a complete assort
ment of 50 Boys' Suits in all shades
and colors which were sold from $7.50
to 10.50 a suit, but to make it interest
ing The Palace has decided to make
one lot of them and let them all go for
5.90 each. We will warrant each and
every suit worth from 2.00 to 5.00 more
than we ask for them; strictly all-wool
cheviots, worsteds and cassimeres both
light and dark colors in ages from 11
to 17. This is a genuine bargain line.
3STu.rrx"ber Two
Is a lot of 33 men's all-wool suits, light
.a&efcand color, and as we stated before their
. real value is 15.00, but we want to get
these goods started and will sell them
in sizet 34 to 42 at only 11.90. Now
don't be deceived by the wild sayings
: , of jealous competitors who are trying
to palm off on the public cheap goods
and claiming they are as good as the
ones sold at the Palace. They are not,
. : in fact the Palace goods manufactured
; : hy E. Rothschild & Bros, are known
all over the United States for their su
perior finish and excellent workman
ship. Well worth 15.00 a suit, we sell
them at 11.90.
Are a lot of the best value boys' shirt
waists we ever saw. Our thirty-five
cent line beats the world, well worth
50 cents. We have but 47 of these it
will more than pay you to secure them
early. Another line of percales, also
dark indigo penangs, 75 cents would be
considered cheap for them. The
Palace to keep them a going will sell
them the coming week for 50 cents
each. We boast on our $1 boys' waist.
They are the handsomest getting to
gether of designs imaginable. Beauti
ful figure, loud stripes, excellent value
in fact a most complete waist cheap at
$1.25, to get them started The Palace
offers them at $1, warrante4 fast colors
and 33 per cent cheaper than our com
petitors. All these waists run in sizes
from 4 to 12 years, a big inducement
for mothers. Various and endless
other lines for men's wear, flannel
shirts, neckwear, Windsor ties, moth
er's friend boys' tie, underwear, hats,
boots, and shoes.
Those who wish to purchase the
finest grades of goods for the least
money, will do well to inspect our stock
this week, for no house in North Platte
can show you better qualities or give
you more satisfaction than

The recent rain has caused considera
ble damage and inconvenience among the
farmers of our county, especially to those
who reside in sod houses. Quite a num
ber have sufferedffroni roofs and "wafts
falling in, and reports of leakage are
numerous. There is hardly a sod house
in the vicinity of Curtis but the contents
are saturated with water. In one case a
woman was delivered of a babe on Sun-
daj and when our reporter .happened to
stop there Tuesday she was lying on a
bed that was wet through andthrough,
while the wall tt one end of the house
hsd tumbled down and the mud was an
kle deep on the floor. We hope not to be
obliged to chronicle such accidents very
frequently. Curtis Courier.
Charlev Penn returned last night from
n little pleasure trip through the western
part of this state and parts of Colorado
and Kansas. Our readers will remember
the account in the daily a few days ago,
of John Brownwick stealing a team, from
J. 31. Hoffman, of Elk Creek. Sheriff
Penn a few days later learned tfcnfcth
thief was in the vicinity of North ""Platte
and at once' started to round him up.
After tracing him north of the Platte
river and back to the southwestern corner
of the state, near the Colorado and Kan
sas line, he located the thief in a low flat
with a deep canyon leading from it. Mr.
Penn stationed three -of his men at the
outlet of the canyon and taking two men
with him proceeded to the house in the
fiat where the thief was supposed to be
hiding. "When they reached the house,
however, they found that he had left a
few minutes previous. They at once
left the house and started down the can
yon and had gone bnt a short distance
when they heard pistol shots further
down the canyon. Hurrying forward
they found that the party of three they
had left to intercept the thief in the can
yon had come upon him where he was
hid in a rifle pit, which he had dug.
They did not see him until within about
twenty feet of him, when he raised up
and began firing at them. One of the
men fell from his horse with a bullet hole
through his side. One of the other men
returned the fire until it got too hot for
the theif, who jumped out of the hole
and ran to his horse which was hid a few
feet away behind a bank, but not until he
had been wounded by a shot from one of
the parties. He jumped .on his horse
and rode rapidly out of the canyon, pass
ing within six or seven hundred yards of
Sheriff Penn and his party. They opened
fire on him but the distance was so great
that they did not get him. After this
they mounted their horses and followed
him for ten miles iuto a very rough coun
try, where night came on and compelled
them to give up the chase. The thief is
now probably rusticating- and doctoring
his wounds down in the bad lands of Kan
sas or Texas. The name of the young
man that was shot is George Brown . He
is a cow man. Mr. Penn says it is a pret
ty bad wound, but he thinks he will get

The Republican For 1866.
The Presidential campaign of 1866 pro
mises to be fought out with great rigor in
all the Northern states of the Ualon, aad
in some of the Southern states as well.
Fortunately for the Republican party, the
great issue has been made up in advance
of the opening of the caaTass, so that It
may be discussed intelligently.
The President of the United States, as
the leader of the Democratic party, has
announced himself in faror of maintain
ing the internal taxes, and of then reduc
ing the revenues from imports to a point
which shall make the whole merely suf
ficient to meet the current expenses of the
government The democratic preset aad
a majority of the democratic, members In
congress have announced their acceptance
of this platform.
The republican party, on. the other
hand, stands squarely upon,.-the platform
-which- it has- occupied' forteorelkaa a
quarter of a century that of protection
to American industries; to which is added
the unrestricted right of suffrage and an
honest count of ballots cast.
The issue thus made up, the parties are
preparing for the fray. All over the
country the republicans are organizing.
They are enthusiastic, earnest, and. will
make an aggressive and a hot fight, and
are confident of sujecess.
The Republican is what its name implies
A REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER.
It will do the best work it knows how
for its party. It will advocate the princi
ples in which it believes with all the.
force of which it is capable. In short, it
intends to do its full share in the work of
returning the republican party to power
in the nation. But it will be fair in its
fight, and the democrats will have no
cause to complain of its methods It will
print the news of JxM sides. It will
have full reports of the proceedings of
the conventions of both parties, national
and state, prepared without bias, and will
present the arguments of both sides. In
short, it will make a complete record of
the canvass. Its news columns will be
non-partisan; its editorial columns
straight republican.
AS A GENERAL NEWSPAPER,
The Republican never sleeps. Its
colums are breezy, while trustworthy. It
prints every morning .all the news of the
previous day from all parts of the world.
It labors early and late for the best inter
ests of Omaha, Nebraska and the great
west. -
The subscription price of the Eepttbli.
can is as follows.
Daily per year.. iq 00
Daily (by carrier in Omaha or
Council Bluffs) per week' . . i 15
Weekly per year t 1 Q0
In all its editions the Republican is the
cheapest paper in the west. The cam
paign will extend over a period of more
than seven months, but as we are specially
desirous that the Republican shall find Its
way into the home of every family In the
great Northwest we make this special
