Spencer Advocate: Ed. Whiting
and son Dave came up from Omaha
Tuesday. They marketed a couple of
car loads of cattle which they shipped
down from their Tripp county ranch.
The story comes from Omaha that
Col. Ed was touched while in the me
tropolis, not very heavy, just a little,
to shoy that the most wily of in
dividuals will sometimes fall for it.
As the Advocate gets it, th estory goes
that after Ed had sold the cattle and
got the draft snugly tucked away in
his inside pocket and was going up
town to see the sights, he was ac
costed by a smooth looking stranger
who called him Mr. Whiting and in
troduced himself as an agent of the
government sent out to introduce the
various publications on farming and
stock growing issued by the govern
ment, said he understood “you are one
of the prominent stockmen from the
salt grass country,” etc. And right
there is where Col. Ed fell, that word
“prominent” was more than he could
resist, that’s what got his angora.
When he came to and the affable
stranger had vanished he was in
possession of a fountain pen worth
about 30 cents, and a promise that he
would receive all the publications the
government had ever issued or ex
pected to issue, with a receipt in full
; for some of his hard earned coin. The
, amount does not exceed two figures,
i No, the stranger would not take the
draft. That word “prominent” did
. the business.

WANTS TO SEE YOU
To my friendsandcustomers—I have
nothing to give you during the holi
days. I gave you all I could and I am
sure I have saved you a good many
dollars in the four months I have been
with you. At least my conscience is
clear. I feel as if I gave you more for
your money than any storekeeper that
ever struck O’Neill.
The talk about me going to raise my
prices or go in with the bunch is all
wind. I am in with no one and I am
going to cut prices more yet instead
of raising them. Don’t fool yourself
either on the quality, I am goingtosell
the best grades of goods that money
can buy.
Don’t let these sales fool you. You
saw 20 per cent discount sales here be
fore. They want to sell a few odds
and ends. Their good stuff is gener
ally higher at those times. Even 20
per cent will not make the difference.
These stores are up against the Real
Thing now and they know it. They
have to come out from behind the bush
Cash or time—Country trade or town
trade. You can’t make a farmer pay
two prices for meat. He knows what
it is worth. Also the corn, peas,
tomatoes, etc. He knows the picture
on the can costs more than the stuff in
it. How does the Golden Hotel charge
50c for a meal in the Dining Room and
25c in the cafe—is it better? No, its
out of the same pot.
The only way for these stores to get
my trade is to move out of the high
rent buildings. Cut out the high
priced clerks and bookkeepers. Cut
out the delivery wagons, telephones
and sell for cash. They have to cut
out the big dinner parties, trips to
Chicago’, Sioux City and Omaha and
get down on earth and sell goods right.
The farmers are not going to pay
theses big expenses which do not add
to the value of the goods.
Don’t think I put all my good things
in the newspapers You only get them
by trading here. But here is a few
ticklers:
20c Men’s Collars, each. 7c
25c Hand Painted Pillow Tops .. 7c
35c Men’s Neckties, each. 10c
$1.50 Boys’ Sweater Coats, each 88c
$2.25 Men’s Sweaters, each ....$1.39
20c Cigar Clippings, 3 for. 35c
5c Cigars, per box of 50.$1.70
5 Gal. Coal Oil (No better Oil in
O’Neill . 45c
Coffee that can’t be beat, 5 lbs.. .$1.00
No, you can’t buy it for less
No, you can’t buy it for less
and don’t fool yourself.
Tea, that can’t be beat, per lb. .. 42
10c Mustard Sardines, 2 for ... 15c
5c Cans Oil Sardines, 7 for .... 25c
65c Boys’ Caps . 25c
Some Good Water Tanks at spot
Cash Prices.
Remember some of the prices I
made before. Well, you can see you
wasn’t watching. I’ll take $1,000.00
worth of Envelopes alone at the prices
I offered them.
There are still a few who are paying
the difference, but they are the ones
who don’t know.
When they can’t beat my prices they
knock on the goods.
When you come in and the store is
crowded don’t get mad and rush off
some where else. Leave your order. I
have plenty of goods and the prices
don’t change and I’ll have your goods
out in plenty of time. Haste makes
waste. Take your time and save
money.
Talk about good candy, I guess if
any body in O’Neill sells good candy,
Cash does it. I have candy you are
paying 40 and 50 cents per pound for
at 25 and 30c.
Salted Peanuts, per pound - 10c
Cash Done It
All Things to Eat and Wear
If you don’t trade with me you have
to pay the difference.

Burlington Engine the Prize Winner.
The largest engine in the Exhibit of
the Baldwin Locomotive Works at the
San Francisco Exposition, which was
awarded the Grand Prize, was the
Burlington’s engine No. 6110. This is
the largest road engine of the non
articulated type ever built. It weighs
nearly 300 tons, is almost 84 feet long
and carries 17 tons of coal and 10,000
gallons of water. Its firebox is as
large as a homestead shack and the
inside diameter of the front end of the
boiler is 7 feet and 4 inches. It took
37 days to get this engine across the
continent from Philadelphia to San
Francisco.
A number of engines of this type
are already in service on the Burling
ton’s lines.
Queer Quirks of News.
Easton, Md.—Grace Marshall, im
prisoned by her father twelve years
because of her attempt to elope with a
man of whom he did not approve, was
discovered by a visiting uncle who
bored through the wall between her
room and his. Released the girl
weighed but fifty-seven pounds and
had almost forgotten how to talk.
North Manchester, Ind.—Mrs. Sarah
Foster has been paralyzed and bed
ridden for 65 years, but bears the
reputation of being the happiest, sun
niest person in the county. She has
her bed pulled close to the window and
watches the people pass by. Visitors
come to cheer her up, but go away
marveling that she met their joke with
joke and their smile with smile.
San Bernadino, Cal.—Undergoing
the “miracle operation,” Chief Per
fecto Segundo, a Cahuilla Indian blind
from birth, saw light for the first time
and went nearly insane from joy. The
operation was extremely delicate, but
the Indian refused an anaesthetic and
bore the pain with Indian stoicism.
Sand Springs, Okla.—Charles Page,
multi-millionaire oil man, is showing
his philanthropy by building a town
for widows. Bereft wives now make
up more than one-fourth the 5,000
population of Sand Springs. Page has
built dozens of cottages with rent, gas
and fuel free; factories where the wo
men work; a car line to Tulsa upon
which widows may ride free. There is
a day nursery, free attendance and a
vocation school. Page encourages
marriages.
Moberly, Mo.—The father of Viola
Kirkendoll 17 owned a horse which
had the habit of kicking at anyone who
pointed a finger at it. Recently the
girl procured a stick and pointed it at
the horse, which kicked back violently,
striking the stick and forcing it
through the girl’s abdomen. She died
a few hours later.
North Manchester, Ind.—Five sis
ters, three of whom live near here,

Marine is 92 years old; Mrs. Thorn is
90; Mrs. Catherine Harter is 86; Mrs.
Irene Harter.is 79 and the baby, Mrs.
Ella Rhodes, is 68. They have all sur
vived their husbands.
Northumberland, Pa.—Is a $250
horse that swallowed $250 in bills
worth $250? William B. Miller would
like to know. The other night he
missed the money from his pocket and
the next morning found bits of it in
the horse’s feed box. The remnants
have been sent to Uncle Sam in the
hopes of redemption.
Dublin, Pa.—When William New

Blackshear for failure to pay for the

HAVE YOU HAO YOURS?
Unfortunately, perhaps yet nevertheless true, a
few of the good people of our city have “fallen” for S
the cut-pricer magazine and paper solicitors. Some
of the periodicals come, some, (so we are told), have
FAILED to COME.
NOW, we have been here long enough to deserve |
this spent “out-of-town money, IF WE CAN give ^
you the magazines, AT THE SAME PRICES and if
we do this YOU HAVE A COME-BACK if they §
don’t COME.
