Loving Cups Trophies Medals Watches
The jeweler h very clo-- to life in all its variations. His art expresses and
typifies victory, achieven .-nt, superior performance, as well as beauty, utility,
joy and refinement.
Athletic triumphs are acknowledged with a silver loving cup, a medal or a
gold vratch. The same with civic and business service and all forms cf faith
ful performance. ?
Dress is adorned with a touch cf art in the form cf a pin, a brooch, a
chain or a ring.
The refined and festive table sparkles witfV bright silver and cut glass.
Life's heroic and joyful moments are marked with a jewel or a bit of gold
or silver. Life itself is measured by the jeweler's watch or clock.
The jeweler serves the finest and best interests of life. His place can never
be taken by those who dicker in jewelry, solely on a commercial basis, with
out the heart interest of one who loves his craft.
You suffer as well as we, if you are not in touch with a reliable jewelry store.
The stocks in this store are chosen with skill and care from a wide and con.
glomerate market where experience is needed to distinguish the worthy from
the worthless, We offer both economy and satisfaction.

As was predicted in these, columns
ten duys ntfo, the meter question has
found its way into court, and chances
are that bofore the matter is finnlly ad
justed it will remain there, in one form
or nnother, for 5ino time.
Clerk Temple declined to call tho
election to vote on tho proposition to
make the use of metres optional on
the failure of the petitioners to make n
cash deposit with him covering the cost
of the election in tho event of tho
failure of the proposition to receive n
majority vote.
Tho attorney of tho petitioners held
that such deposit was not necessary,
While the clerk's legal advice was to
the contratry; that the deposit must be
made.
This non-action on the part of the
clerk resulted in a writ of madamus
being filed Saturday nfternoon in the
district court, which seeks to compel
tho city cljrk to call the election. This
writ will come before Judge Grimes
for hearing. '
In tho meantime tho water commis
sioner will serve notice on nil consum
ers to place metres as required by or
dinance, which ordinance provides that
if such metres are not placed within
thirty days from date of notice water
will be cut off. The serving of this
no'ico, or rather the shutting off of the
water, will probably be temporarily
forestalled by the flat rate fellows,
who will resort to injunction proceed
ings, thus again tying up the matter
in court.

Locals Take Three
of the Four Games
In the series of gnmes
the Kansas City Red box
urday and Sunday, North
played
Friday,
Platte
with
three of the four played.
PYiday's game run twelve innings and
aside from the first inning was one of
tho snappiest games played on the
local field for years. McClure started
the whirling for North Platte, but the
Sox pounded him for four runs. He was
replaced by Maupin who held the visi
tors until the twelfth inning when they
made a score. North Platte scored
once in tho first inning, twice in the
second, once in the eighth nnd twice
in the twelfth, winning by a score of
six to five. t ,
Saturday the Sox evened up, defeat
ing the locals twelve to two, and touch
ing up McClure for twenty-one hits,
four of, which were two-bases and three
triples. It was an off day for McClure,
and the Sox had a swatfest that they
seemed to enjoy. The game outside of
the batting and base running was a
listless one and tiresome to the spec
tators. In the double-hender Sundr.y after
noon, North&Platte won both games,
the first by a score of five to four, the
second ten to six. In the first game
tho score stood four to one in favor of
the Sox nt the beginning of the ninth
inning, but in that inning the locals
took a batting streak and with several
sensational plays scored foui men.
Jones pitched a nice game for eight
innings.
The second game wosnotpirticulurly
gingery, and consisted of but seven
innings. Maupin pitched for North
Platte and kept tho hit record low.
