SALE BEGINS MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1ST.
QUITTING BUSINESS!
Positively my LAST SALE in North Platte.
I have sublet my lease and sold my fixtures to Mr. C. M. Newton and will have to give possession of the room in about sixty days. In order to dispose of such
a large stock in such a small time I will have to make a big sacrifice. I will dispose of every dollar's worth of merchandise right here, and to do this means n lerriblo
slaughter of prices, so there it goes, and mighty quick too, prices are no object. I intend to clean out my stock in about thirty days.

A Breezy Time.
Yesterday afternoon and last night
North Platte was wind swept by a gaie
that at times reached u velocity of
sixty-Right miles per hour. It wns n
steady blow, with occasional outbursts
of fury that almost swept pedestrians
from their feet. During the afternoon
the cornico on tho building on Front
street occupied by Sizemore's barber
shop was wrenched off, and later the'
elevated tower at the Locust street
railroad crossing blow down, but for
tunately no one was in the tower at tho
time. About 7:30 both stacks at tho
olectric light house were blown down,
thus putting out the light and plung
ing the city in darkness. "The Great
Divide" was scheduled for the opera
house, bdt Manager Stump wns equal I See
to tho occasion and securing a hundred
or more candles placed them on the or
chestra and dress circles railings, which
furnished a light for the audience, while
engine headlights und lamps were uted
to illumine the-stage. The wind con
tinued with unabated fury until late in
the night, when tho velocity decreased
to some extent, though it is still strong
today.
Get Out Your Lamps.
Manager Walker, of tho electric light
plant, went to Omaha last night to pur
chase two stacks to replnce those blown
down nt the powor house ast evening.
An effort v ill bo made to fix up ono
stack for temporary ubo in order that
lights may be furnishod to business
houses, but it is not likely lights for
residences will be furnished until after
the new stacks arc in position, which
will be several days.

Oplder Cure.
In China spiders are highly esteemed
in tho treatment of croup. You get
from an old wall the webs of seven
black spiders two of which must have
the owners sitting In the middle and
pound them up In a mortar with a lit
tle powdered alum. Tho resultlug
mixture must then bo set on flro, and
the ashes, when squirted Into tho
thront of tho patient by means of a
bamboo tube, nro said to effect a cer
tain and Immediate cure. ,
Black spiders are evidently full of
medicinal virtue, for they aro largely
employed In the treatment of ague as
well. In Somersetshire, If ono Is af- c.rviVfoh1f
lUUll'll llll 111U lllllllUllOtllll illWUUlllt
the way to get well Is to shut up a
largo black spider In a box and lenvo
It there till It dies, At tho moment
of Its disease tho nguo should disap
pear. In Sussex the treatment Is more
heroic; the patient must swallow tho
spider.
Perhaps, after nil, this remedy may
not bo so dlsngrecnblo as It appears,
for a German lndy who was In the
habit of jricklng out spiders from their
webs nrf she walked through tho woods
and eatlnt; them after first depriving
them of their legs declared that they

On Juno 11, 1777, tho Continental
congress resolved that tho Hag of the
United States be thirteen stripes, al
ternate red and white, nnd that the
Union bo thirteen white stars on n blue
field. On Jan. 13, 1704, by an act of
congress, the ling was altered to fifteen
red nnd white stripes and fifteen stars.
On April 4, 1818. congress ngaln alter
ed tho flag by returning to the-orlglnal
thirteen fltrlpcs nnd fifteen stnrs, as
tho adding of n new stripe for eneh nd
dltlonal state would soon mnke the
ling too large. A new star is added to
the (lag on .Inly 4 following tho ad
