The services held Friday, Sat
urday and Sunday by Rev. Nathan,
assisted by Rev. Davis, of Jules
burg, and Messrs. Smith and Chap
man, of Lincoln, were very largely
attended, and while no conversions
resulted the religious element feel
that they have been strengthened
by reason of the services. Rev.
Nathan, while feeling the effects of
overwork in the eastern states,
preached with his usual earnest
ness and force, one or two of his
sermons surpassing those delivered
while he was here before. Messrs.
Smith and Chapman, who were
here in the interest of the state
gospel union, are earnest workers
and delivered excellent addresses
at several of the meetings. Rey.
Davis, who has charge of the Con
gregational church at Julesburg. is
a close student of the bible, and is
much interested in the christianiz
ing of the Jews of the world, a work
that is now well under way in
several of the European countries.
As we understand it. Rev. Nathan
is now making his farewell tour
prior to his departure for Morocco,
where he will engage in the mis

of the city, and the interest which
he awakened is evidenced by the
fact that hundreds were turned
away from the Sunday evening
meeting at Keith's hall.

stop for all time to the disgraceful j

custom ot tne clianvan in our

there is another city of the size of
North Platte in the United States
where it is allowed. Occasionally
in some town or in the country, in
exceptional instances, it occurs,
and in many instances with loss of
life or maimed limb. Last week,

John Herrod, the grocer, has

Washington which for size, flavor
and dryness are certainly not ex

are in many instances of a wet and
soggy nature, but in these dry land
Washington potatoes this objec
tionable feature is not found. It
will pay you to lay in a supply of
these potatoes while you have the
opportunity, for it may be that in
the future they will not be obtain
able. Deputy sheriff Keliher took to
Lincoln Friday a quartette of

WHY?B
Because we do not vary from the truth. When we
advertise bargains we have and give them!
Wo do not advertise as some of our would-be competitors, double tho actual
value ami then come down about one third and thus try to blind the people and
make them believe that they aro Rettinp; bijjr bargains, when in fact they are pay
ing an enormous price. Wo do not advertiso from one year's ond to another, tobe
selling at half price as some do. If we did people would booh see that s-oraethinjr
was wrong. No straight, honorable merchant can do this. PLAIN TRUTHS
AND FIGURES ARE WHAT WINS. When wo say that we aro selling CLOTH
ING CHEAP vou can rely upon it. Everyone can buy clothing of us, our prices
are so low. This weather suggests OVERCOATS. Lot us suggest that you seo
ours before you decicle whro you buy. You can cover up your old clothes with
one of our new overcoats for a very little money, so that you look all right, but tho
trouble comes and it is suro to come to us all at time, when you take off tho over
coat tho old clothes are thert . Now we aro ready to sugge-t again that you buy
ono of our NEW SUITS at the very lowest prices, "t will put you right in lino
with your neighbors, they trade with us. BOYS, wo haven't forgotten you, and
wo rely upon you to keep your parents posted ou OUR LOW LPICES. If you
forgot'this you are liable riot to get a now suit or overcoat this winter. Now boys,
"this is on the dead." Don't vou give us away though, or the old folks might not.

FORGET IT. Boys suits in square cut sack,doublo b-easted and fine Jerseys,all at

such, it looks very much to us as if tho people wero better satisfied with our so
called rotten goods than they are with some of our would-bo competitors' rotten
prices and treatment. Wo buy the very best goods we can for tho lowest possiblo
price and give our customers tho benefit, and anyono saying that wo do not, wo
an- forced to cill in plain English a liar in soven'dillerent languages. Wo started
in business in North Piatte about four years ago in a little 10x12 room with a few
