Shuman yesterday filed for the nomination for county attorney. Mr. Shuman is a Nebraskan by birth, having been born in Boone county. Ho came to North Platte about a dozen years ago and for a year or two was employed as a teacher of tho eighth grade in tho city schools. Later he at tended the university, graduated from the law department, and upon returning to the city entered into a partnership with attorney Albert Muldoon, and later the firm dissolved. He has been a practicing attorney for eight years, and has met with success. Mr. Shuman enjoys the confidence of a large circle of acquaintances and will receive a hearty support at the primary election. "The Top 0' Th' World. "Tho Top O' Th' World," which will be the 'attraction at the Keith this evening, brings back Bail -y and Austin after their recent triumphs in the vaudeville houses of Europe. Theeccen tric and grotesque work of these two famous comedians has lone aj,ro caused the hearty stamp of threatrical appro val to be theirs. With a supporting company of seventy people, a score of new tricks and novelties, "The Top 0' Th' World" is duplicating its former success capacity business has been the rule in every city visited since the sea son opened. "The Top 0' Th' World" has always been a 'hit' spelled with a big 'H It is so far and away different from the average traveling attraction that it really occupies a ni:he all its own. It is today a rarer combination of mus ical 'comedy, extravaganza, pantomime farce and spectacle than anything which has been produced in a score of years. It is brim full of clever things' and clever people. It is a magnifiicent electrical production. Its basic prin ciple, its fundamental idea is comedy. It is everything and anything, in fact, but a prescription for feeling too well. If it was taken for that effect it would be a failure. The management of "The Top 0' Th' World" has shown the the wisdom in retaining almost the entire original company intect for the road tour. It is one-of the few really large Jorganiza tions new en tour, seventy people and three special baggage cars of scenery and effects' being carried. Favors Retailers' Association. Secretary Temple, of the Chamber of Commerce, who attended the state retail dealers' association in Omaha last week, returned imbued with the idea that a local organization of mer chants would prove helpful to both the buyer and seller. "Since attending tho state convention," said Mr. Temple, "I am more desirous of thoroughly organ izing the merchants into an associa tion that they may protect themselves from bad debts and save money in the buying and handling of their goods by the many systems outlined at the state convention and thereby reduce the cost to the people, giving them more and better goods for the money expended and thereby be able to show their cus tomers and citizens of their town, as well as the country, that they cannot possibly afford to do business outside the city of North Platte. As a repre sentative of the commercial organiza tions of this city I see no greater det riment to the upbuilding of the city than to have our local people send money out of the city for half, or in some cases more, of the things they wish to buy, and from tho individual's standpoint, snendintr his monev these days when the cost of living is high, it is certainly pretty naru to ask him to spend it any place but where he can get the most for his money. If it were true that peddlers and mail order houses could furnish the bargains that they represent that they can furnish in comparison to the home merchants' prices, I for one, could not ask the buyer to do different than buy from theso houses, but I have investigated this question pretty thoroughly and compared the prices with the local prices and while it is true that some of the articles may be cheaper and these are the articles that your attention is called to by the ped dler or representative of these houses, but, if you will take a list of a dozen articles and compare the nricei of these articles with the prices that the home merchants are making on the same articles, you will find that in every case the home merchant can show a differ ence in your favor. And, if through a local organization affiliated with the state organization there can still be a saving to the consumer, the merchants can meet this unfair competition much more effectively. Sale Postponed. The Referee's sale of land at Calla way, advertised in theso columns for Men. 14th was, on account of the storm, postponed until March 28th. At this sale four tracts of land will be sold, one of which is located south of this city. LOCAL AND PERSONAL The Union Pacific car shop which was damaged by fire recently, is being repaired. Mrs. J.
