We are intormcd by Dr. Seymour
that by reason of a recent rulinir of
the passenger departments of the
yartous roads, it will be impossible
for him to bring his private car to
this city as he had expected, as it
seems the railroad authorities object
to his using railroad grounds for
his business. His car is very val
uable, besides containing many
thousand dollaru worth of valuable
instruments, and in towna of this
size there is great danger in switch
ing, and as the doctor recently
sustained a loss on one of the rail
roadsthey retuse to insure the
car and instruments against
accidents consequently he will use
his car only on long journeys and
in large cities. However, we are
pleased to learn that Dr. Seymour
will ie Here in person, accompanied

The case of the State against
Gusmeyer, charged with being im
plicated in theft of. money from the
Weir boys in the west part of the
county, was called in court Satur
day afternoon. The evidence was
gotten in that day and yesterday
morning the pleadings were made
and the case given to the jury, who
after being out a number of hours
arrived at a verdict of acquittal,
much to the surprise of a majority
of the people who heard the evi
dence. Gusmeyer is being held in
jail today and tonight will be taken
to Alliance by Sheriff Sweeney,
where he will be tried on the charge
of horse s'caling.
The case ot D. M. Leypoldt
against Lincoln county was called
in the court room just after dinner
yesterday. Leypoldt was assessor
in Nichols -precinct last year and
when he presented his bill to the
commissioners they cut the amount
twenty dollars. Leypoldt refused
to accept the warrant for the re
duced amount and sued the county
for the lull amount. The trial was
by .jury and a verdict for the full
amount was rendered.
The Gusmeyer trial completed
the criminal cases on the docket
and the Ilaskell-Reed case is now
on. This trial will probably be
long drawn out.

THE
DIFFERENCE.
you pay for an article may be
small but the saving- be great.
The difference between our price
of 3c a lb. for Oatmeal and 6 lbs.
for 2Sc that others charge is 41'j
per cent; between our 10c price
on Aunt Jemima Pancake Flour
and 2 packages for 25c, is 25 per
cent; between our price of 25c
a lb. on Walter Baker's Cocoa
and 30c a lb., what others get, is
20 per cent; between our price
of 25c a gallon for White White
Vinegar and 40c, what others
charge you, is 60 per cent; be
tween our price of 4c a package
on Pcarline and 5c you pay else
where, is 25 per cent; between
our price of 4 lbs. for 5c on Table
Salt and 3 lbs for 5c, which you
pay others, is 334 per cent; be
tween our price of 4c a box for
Searchlight Matches and 5c, the
price elsewhere, is 25 per cent;
between our price of 25c a dozen
for Lemons and 30c that others
get, is 30 per cent; between our
price of 18c a peck or 70c a
bushel for Potatoes, and 80c a
bushel, which you are paying
others, is over 14 percent; be
tween our price ot 8c per pack
age for Silver Gloss Starch and
10c, is 25 per cent, and the 3 for
25c you sometimes get, is 4 l-f
per cent.
We could follow clear through
our stock and show you the same
percentage of difference aiid in
many cases much more. Our
claim is not enough when we say
that we save you an average
difference of full 10 per cent on
yonr entire bill. Do you want to
add from $2.00 to $3.00 a month
to your wages by saving it? If
you do throw away your pass
