The
Engagement Ring
It comes but once in a life-time. It
j means bo much. It should be per
I feet, flawless chaste.
There's much uncertainty about
diamonds except to the expert.
They should be chosen at a store
in which you have implicit confi
dence. We strive earnestly to merit
such confidence.
Diamonds are like gold when
wisely bought. They are worth
their cost anywhere on earth and
are constantly increasing in value.
Our gems will bring their price
anywhere any time, and we guar
antee them positively.
Examine our rings not only
solitaires but all styles for all needs.

Dr. Woods Hutchinson
Pleases Large Audience
Dr. Woods Hutchinson nppenred nt
the Keith theatre Saturday evening be
fore a large andienco and gave Ills lec
ture on the subject "Foods and Foolish
ness." The lecture was along the line
of the prevention of disease and the
facts were intermingled with enough
humor to keep the undivided attention
of the listeners. He spoke largely along
the evolution of the medical profession
and especially of the new ideas the men
of that profession have upon the diet. He
spoke of the necessity of variety of
foods and the humor of anyone think
ing there is a best food, and brought
out the fact that our appetites should
guide us in what we eat and whon we
should eat, stating that we should eat
what we want nnd when we want it.
After the lecture was over he called
for questions from the audience and
many questions were asked and
answered. His answers to these ques
tions were sometimes humorous as well
as instructive.
Dr. Hutchinson came here undor the
auspices of the Twentieth Century club
and the club is to be comended for
bringing a lecturer of thia kind to the
city. He is a personal friend of Dr.
Quigley and Dr. Quigley introduced
him.

privilege of riding between the two
point"."
Asks Regarding Wholesale House.
Secretary M. E. Crosbj of the Cham
ber of Commerce received a letter Sat
urday from a merchant in McPherson
county asking in regard to a wholesale
and produce house in the city. The in
quiry asked especially about the 'propo
sition of parcels post delivery from here
for the benefit of tho poople of that
community.
The matter will bo referred to the
Chamber of Commerce for their action.
The new parcels posts laws have
opened up a new field for out of town
business by mail and it hns been sug
gested that it would be a good propo
sition for the chamber to get a mailing
list for the merchants of the city in
order that they could get in communi
cation with the people around the
country for a mail order business. This
is already being widely done by the
merchants of Omaha and other cities
and tho rntes from here are much
cheaper on account of the surrrounding
territory's being in the fust zone from
here. North Platte could easily com
pote with the other cities in this, a9
the freight rates here are very little
more than to the other cities and in
some cases are tho same.
The merchant was advised of the
North Platte produce house and the
mnil order proposition will be taken up
and discussed at the next meeting of
the chamber.

Charles Evert Asks Divorce.
Charles Evert, of the Hershey vicin
ity, filed suit Friday afternoon in the
district court asking for divorce from
Clara Evert on the grounds of deser
tion nnd infidelity. The petition asks
for divorce and the custody of the
minor chi'dren, Edith, aged five,
Clifford, aged four.
In his petition he stated that they
were married on Febraary 22, 1905 at
Kearney and that since that time he
has conducted himself as a dutiful and
true husband. Ha alleges that Mrs.
Evert is a lewd, immora' -and vicious
woman. That in June, 1911 she was
guilty of adultery with one Walter
Long, and again during the first part
of 1912 she was 'guilty of the same
crime with one Glen Moore. That in
October, 1912 she was called on the
long distnnce telephone and that she
immediately left and went away with
one .Frank Hood and that sho did not re
turn until in March, and then for only
eight days. Then after eight days she
left in company with Glen Moore and
was gone again for six weeks. She re
turned then and remained for two
weeks when she again ran away with
Glen Moore and lias not returned since
that time. He states that for this
reason she is on unfit wife and mother
and prays for divorce and the custody
of the two children.
