all castings are made of Kemi-test metal, which is ana
lyzed and tested by an expert chemist; that the walls
are double and interlined with asbestos; that all rivets

and that the grates are the best that can be produced.

your attention than this one, and even though you do
not care to purchase a range at this time, we urge you

which make cooking a pleasure instead of a task.

Dies After Brief Illness.
Mrs. L. F. Waugh died at tho family
residence in the west part of town
Tuesday afternoon of pneumonia after
an illness of but six days. Tho disease
was stubbornly fought by the physicians
and received tho constant care of tho
attendants, but it resisted treatment
and tho beloved wife and mother was
called to her homo beyond, surrounded
by the father, seven children, and rel
atives who had been called and arrived
Sunday. These latter wcro Mrs. J. A.
Venable, a sister; M. P. Allen, a
brother; C. II. Itiddcll, a brother-in-law;
and C. K. Allen, a nephew, all of
Rothville, Mo.
Tho funeral was held from tho resi
dence yesterday afternoon, Rev. Green
lee conducting tho services in tho pres
ence of a largo gnthering of friends
who aBsemblcd to pay this last earthly
respect to ono who by her goodness
and kindliness had won their lovo and
esteem.
Willio Lee Allen was born in Virginia
in 1862 and removed to Missouri with
her parents when soven yenrs of age.
In 188G tho family moved to Ogalalla,
and it was in that town she became ac
quainted with and was later married to
Mr. Waugh. In 1893 Mr. and Mrs.
Wnugh moved to Lincoln county and
lived on u farm in tho valley west of
town until three yenrs ago when they
became residents of North Platte.
The deceased had for years been a
consistent member of tho Baptist
church, but had not affiliated herself
with the church in this city. Her life
on earth was Buch as to win for her tho
crown of life eternal. To tho grief
stricken family tho sympathy of all
acquaintances goes forth.
Soventy-fivo membors of tho Ne
braska State Railway Employes Pro
tective Association appeared before
tho state railway commission at Lincoln
yesterday to protest ngainst any ma
terial reductionin freight rates. As ex
pressed by the numerous speakers, re
presenting every branch of railroad
works, the idea of tho workmen is that
if freight rates aro reduced, wages of
employes must also bo reduced in pro
portion; that ovon if freight rates are
reduced, tho great majority of tho
people will not bo benefited, but the
profit thus mado will go tho middleman;
that tho small dealers aro not asking
for tho reduction, but tho reduction Ib
nsked for by tho largo shippers, who
have in tho past enjoyed tho benefits of
of liberal rebates, which aro now denied
them by law. S. C. Mccombcr, of this
city, locked horns with Commissioner
Williams and a lively tilt ensued, Mo
comber nroducinir u statement nur
ported to have been issued by Williams
In which it was stated that rates in
Nebraska should bo reduced fiftv nur
cent. Williams contended that no such
statement was in tho article ho had
published.
