John Benfer, who clerks at Asher
Clark's, knows more than he did, and
it only cost him $4 to learn it. A
seedy-looking stranger entered the
store last eveniog a few minutes be
fore closing time and after making a
small purchase tendered a $6 bill in
payment. Benfer made the change
for him, and after the man had gone
he took another look at the bill, which
proved to be a one instead of a five.
The sneak was an expert, and had
changed bills on the clerk, thus work
ing the old flim-flam game that is one
of the easiest tricks in the world to
work on a man that is not suspicious.
Benfer notified the police at once, but
they were unable to locate the fellow,
who had a pirtner, and the chances
are that they got out of town on a
freight.

Work of Chicken Thievrn.
The Fourth ward seems to bo in

acters in the shape of chicken thieve?.
A few weeks ago Edwin Bates lost
nearly all his chickens aud last night
a man named Olson, living on Winter
steen hill, was visited by the pilfering
sneaks and several of his chickens
taken. The raid was made about 3
o'clock this morning and the two men
were seen quite plainly as they were
crossing the fence. A h.-tndy shotgun
with a dose of good buckshot is the
best remedy.
Touight'rt Entertnlnmvnt.
Tonight marks the opening of the
theatrical season in Plattsmouth, tho
curtain to be first raided on a local
production of "David G.irrick" and
"Lend Mo Five Shillings," two of the
most laughable high-class comedies
ever written.
The cast has been so well written
that there can be no doubt of the ar
tistic, as well as the financial, succe.-s
of the entertainment.
To the ladies of St. Luke's Episjo
pal church and to Mr. Nelson the in
defatigable director of the production,
will belong the credit of having first
introduced to Plattsmouth audiences
these classic English comedies, which
have seldom or never been heretofore
attempted outside of the metropolis.
The entertainmeut is deserving of the
liberal patronage of all lovers of pure,
wh lesomo amusement.

S along the line, and we were lucky to make our purchases
E just in time.
The Low Prices will remain while the goods last. But
the next few days will make big breaks in the assortments
and it is a wise woman who comes early.
s Remnants, Mill Ends, Remnants!
Here is a department in which an economical and in-
genius woman can make one dollar go as far as two dol
y lars. Remnants are generally hard to get, but by indus
try we were enabled to secure ten cases (count them) of
different kinds of goods, which we offer at about one-half
the usual price.

nothing and kept still. We invite criticism on the gifts
