VALUES
THAT
TELL.
There is no valuo that tells ns
much us watch values. You can
buy a watch at most any old
price you want to pay.
A cheap watch may be all right
for a boy or a youngster, but
when it comes to buying a watch
for a "grown up" see that value
is there. A watch may havo a
solid gold caso sot with diamonds
and yet not be a good watch. Its
the works that count. A well
made watch will keep just as
good time in a filled case as in
any other kind.
Wo show a full line of watches
in all styles or sizes and at all
prices. Included in our assort
ment you will find
Ball Watches,
Elgin Watches,
Waltham Watches,
Hamilton Watches, Etc.
Each one will be found to bo "ut
most" in watch value.

Ask Twenty Per Cent Increase.
A St. Louis dispatch in today's paper
says: The eight-hour day for freight
conductors and trainmen and the mil
eage basis for passenger train crews
are the two most importantpropositions
which will be submitted to the Order of
Railway Conductors and the Brother
hood of Trainmen in the next ten or fif
teen days. Eighty thousand men will
be involved on western roads in the
United States and Canadn.
The crews will seek the equivalent of
a 20 per cent increase in wages, the con
cessions to be requested from the car
riers to be in the form of improved
rules and conditions of work.
. This was stated postively following
adjournment of the, Western Association
of Railway Trainmen here tonight.
' The vote will be taken under the aus
pices of the general committees of tho
western railroads. Ninty-six chairman
of general committees, respresenting
all the western lines, participated in
the discussions.
If the conductors and trainmen, by
their vote at the referendum, render,
as they probably will, a verdict favor
able to the position outlined by the
wpatern association, the matter will be
taken up with the General Managers'
association, respresenting all tho
western railroad, by the grand
officers of both unions. The propositions
will bo submitted to the carriers in
thirty or forty days.

Judge Grimes Dissolves Injunction.
In tho district court yesterday Judge
Grimes dissolved tho temporary injunc
tion issued by the County Judge of
Scotta Bluffs County to the Gering Irri
gation District and against tho stato
board of irrigation which restrained
tho board from interferring witli tho
headgato of that district's irrigation
canal. Judgo Grimes also ordered tho
irrigation district placed under n bond
of $50,000 should it conclude to appeal
from his decision, this amount to cover
tho loss that might bo sustained by
farmers using water from ditches hav
ing a prior right to tho water right
held by the Gering district. It is there
fore probable that the Gering district
will not nppeal, that tho headgatcs
of that canal will bo closed
and that in a few days water
will bo coming down tho river
and that the North Platto ditch, which
has a prior right ovor all other western
Nebraska ditches to the water of the
North Platto river, will be supplied.
Assistant attorney general Ayres
represented tho state board of irriga
tion in tho suit in court yesterday, and
he had been hero for several days pre
paring the evidence. Last night ho
left for Gering and along with secre
tary Willis, of tho state board of irri
gation, will see that the orders of the
board nnd court nro obeyed.
Democrats Have Meeting.
North Platto" democrats last night
paid honor to Hon. James C. Dahlman,
ex-cowboy, now mayor of Omaha, and
candidate for the democratic nomina
tion for governor on a "fcrninst" coun
ty option platform. Mayor Dahlman
was expected to arrive in North Platte
yesterday morning, bo the honor guest
at a'dinnor given by Mr. and Mrs. P.
H. Gartow at tho Cody ranch and
speak there in the afternoon. These
arrangements had been completed when
a wire from Mr. Dahlman stated that
ho could not reach town until 8;30 last
evening. This necossarilv changed the
program, and it was decided to havo
Mr. Dahlman speak at the court house
park.
Enlisting the services of the band to
assist in getting out a crowd, tho hon
orable mayor, as he stepped off tho
train was greeted by a orowd of sev
eral hundred people, while the band
played "See the Conquering Hero
Comes." Headed by the band, Mr.
Dahlman was driven to the court house
in company with County Chairman Ne
ville and other leading local democrats.
In the automobiles were also Willis E.
Reed; of Madison, democratic candidate
for United States senator, and W. J.
Taylor, of Custer county, democratic
candidate for congress.
A good sized crowd of men, women
and children assembled at the park, and
for an hour and a half listened atten
tively to the remarks of tho speakers.
Mr. Taylor was first introduced by
Chairman Neville and spoke along gen
eral lines for fifteen minutes, doing this
more to place himself on "exhibition"
than to convert his hearers to democra
tic principles. He is a rapid firo talker
and seems quite an earnest fellow.
Mr. Reed followed, and in his speech
reviewed briefly what might bo ex
pected of what is known as the incor
poration measure, and spoke of several
questions which he, if elected United
States senator, would have cryBtalized
into laws.
The chairman then Introduced Mr,
Dahlman, who was given a hearty
greeting from the nudience. Giving ex
pression to complimentary remarks to
his old friend and our neighbor, Col.
W. P. Cody, tho speaker turned his re
marks of what he termed the para
mount issue of this campaign county
option. He was opposed to tho meas
ure, he said, because it took away from
Man Killed at Pallas.
A man supposed, from n Y. M. C. A.
card found in his pocket, to be Chns.
Lovhorr, of Chicago Junction, Ohio, wns
killed, in some manner, by n train
at Pallas last Friday evening. His
body was first discovered along tho
tnlck by 'the crew of n west bound
freight early Saturday morning, and
Coroner Longloy notified. Later tho
body was brought to town nnd placed
in the receiving room at Ginn, Whito &
Schatz. The body was badly mangied,
fragments of a limb being found somo
distanco from where tho body was found.
Coroner Longloy at onco telegraphed
tho secretary of tho Y. M . C. A . at
Chicago Junction, asking for informa
tion as to Lovherr. Through him it
was learned .that Levherr's parents
lived at St. Joe, Ind. The parents
were notified by tho secretary, nnd they
wired that they wore poor and it would
bo necessary to bury tho remains hero,
which wns done yesterday afternoon.
As the pockets of tho man's cloth
ing were turned inside out, and it be
ing reported that tho man had money
while in this city the day of his death,
a coroner's jury was empaneled to se
cure such evidence ns was obtainable.
There was, however, no direct testi
mony as to the man's death, and a ver
dict wns returned that Levherr camo
to his death in n manner unkown.

August twelfth, next Friday night,
Just trace your footsteps back ngaln
To the jolly rectory lawn.
You'll find traveling gypsies gathered
there,
Famously boiling good coffee,
And making wondrous Ico cream,
Directing music which soothes tho mind,
Telling fortunes lately imported from

From whither comes that savory smell
Down a way we follow,
Then step short in pure delight
For 'tis roasting wcinies baked just

Wo must have something
To quench this thirst
Though we've tried with nil our might.
Yonder is a jolly tent
Packed high with something whito
And beside them stands a pitcher with
The mqst dolectablo punch.
All hull this camp in pure delight.
And bid the jolly gypsies Good-night!

ly that if elected governor and the legis
lature passed a county option bill, he
would veto it, and do so in no uncer
tain manner and without apology. Mr.
Dahlman is opposed to prohibition be
cause it takes away from man his per
sonnl liberty. He favored the removal
of the state capital to a more central
location; believes that agricultural col
leges should be located in different
sections of tho state, and is heartily in
accord with the demand of the people
of western Nebraska that the state bo

his statements as to what he would do
