Mr. Shuman is a Nebraskan by birth,
having been born in Boone county. Ho
came to North Platte about a dozen

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.
