, Count Commissioners J. P. Falter,

coin this morning Tor the purpose of
completing arrangements for the
reissue of the $65,000 court house

It will be remembered that the com
missioners and the clerk went to Lin
coln several weeks ago and made a
payment of $15,000, or fifteen shares,
together with $4,000 interest, on the
old $80,000 issue. This left bonds to the
amount of $65,000 to be reissued, and
arrangements were made with the
board of public lands and buildings and
the etate treasurer to reissue the same
at the rate of 4 per cent 1 per cent less
than has been charged heretofore. To
day was eet for signing the bonds and
fllrng-the same.
-The new rate of interest will be a

Charles Sharpe Is Jailed r Burglary
By the Lincoln Authorities.
The following clipping from the Lin
coln Post will be of interest lo Cass
county people generally, inasmuch as
Charles Sharpe, one of the principals
in the cb, has committed a number
of crimes in these parts:
"Judge Waters' court room looked
like a second-hand clothing store this
mnrnimr. the cause beintr thai the
goods alleged to have been taken from '
a Hock Island freight car by Ilnrry
Vinpont And Charles Sharpe. were

'The men are charged with larceny.
Ud thn huro-lnrtf of the car is said lo
have taken place in another county.
while the goods were brought to Lin
coln. Witnesses were called In the
persons of the conductor of the freight
and likewise the engineer, as well as
people who were able to Identify the
goods. The men have been tried
twico for burglary,but on one o -casion
the jury disagreed nd the other time
a juror got sick and the trial had to
go over."
Sheriff Wheeler received a tel -phone
mefSge from Louisville one
day last summer asking him to come
to th.it place to serve a warrant on
Sharpe, who, with two others, was
charged with obtaining money under
faUe pretenses. He was brought to
this city, but was released shortly
afterwards his father, who lives near
Louisville, going upon his bond.
Sharpe also stole a large supply of
clothing and other articles at Avoca,
and was captured with these things in
his possession while on the road to
Lincoln. -
The probabilities are that his latest
crime will land him behind the bars
for a while, at least.

January Clearing Sale
Wool Dress Goods.
There are several reasons why we in
augurate .this sale, but we mention the two
main reasons.
First To reduce stock before our an
nual February inventory, and prepare for
spring.
Second We are anxious to make 1900
better than the one just closed. "So goes
Monday, so goes all the week," says the
old adage, and we propose to make Jan
uary a busy mouth. To accomplish this
we will offer a
i $ per cent discount on all cash
purchases of Dress Goods during- January
Remember this is no "bunco" depart
ment store scheme, witn goods marked up
for the occasion, but a straight 15 per cent
off on all cash purchases from our regular
selling prices, which are "always the low
est," and with the price of Dress Goods
steadily climbing upwards in the whole
sale markets, will be equivalent to 25 per
cent discount from the retail price six
months from now.
