The man who buy? early has the advan tage of variety to choose from and he gets more use of his clothes. We show any number of exclusive weaves and patterns fancy cassimeres, worsted, cheviots the new stripes and checks, quiet plaids and neat mixtures, and the best values in blue and black suits to be found anywhere. Many of our garments are from the workrooms of A. B. Kirsehbaum & Com pany, Philadelphia and New York the larg est and best-equipped tailoring establishment in the United States. There are points about the inside tailor ing of these clothes that we can't expect the average buyer to appreciate until he wears them; but no man can fail to note the fit and fine appearance of such suits the instant he tries them on, and their superiority to the general run of clothes for which the ordinary clothing store will ask him just as much, or even more money. We never tried harder in our lives, work ed longer hours, or looked over more goods, than we did this Spring in getting together this stock of clothing and men's wear. We have gone to the best markets, the best makers, and we believe we have "the pick" of the country's best merchandise. We wanted every article to reflect credit on this store and on the man who buys here. Now we ask you to come in and see what we have done and give us your trade if you find we deserve it. Kraft JothSinig Plattsmouth, Nebraska On, DC DC DC THE PRESBYTERY ADJOURNS Every Session Well Attended and Meeting Was a Grand Success. TO MEET AT ALEXANDRIA NEXT YEAR Delegates Express Much Appreciation cf the Entertainment Provtded Daring Their Short Stay in Our Little City. The popular meeting, a joint session of the Presbytery and the Ladies Mis sionary Society, held Wednesday even ing in the Presbyterian church, was by far the best attended and most in teresting of the several sessions held in this city. The delegates, after par taking of supper served in the base ment of the church by the ladies of local missionary society, assembled in the church room proper, where, begin ning at 7:30 o'clock, they were joined by a large number of Plattsmouth peo ple, who soon occupied all available seats. Short exercises preceded the ad dress of Mrs. M. L. Lee, president of the Minneapolis Presbyterial Society, who presented in an Interesting man ner the work of the home board, men tioning what has been accomplised in the various parts of the United States, and the work that is in progress. Mrs. Lee was a very able speaker, and in spired the audience with much enthusi asm. The address in tbe interests of Freed-men-s Work, by Kev. S. W. Pringle of Auburn, was highly instructive and vividly outlined the present status of the neurro. The speaker gave many statistics showing that the work in the south has not been in vain, and that better results are yet to be obtained in that field. The audience was favor ed with special music during the ses sion last evening, an organ olo, and a vocal solo being rendered bv Rev. J. n. McConnell of Hebron, and a solo by B. A. McElwain. An excellent address by Rev. Long, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church of Lincoln, who spoke on fore ign missions, was much enjoyed, as was also a short, talk by Rev. Marshall, who is home from six years in India. The latter part of the evening was devoted to hearing reports of various committees, of ministers withoutchar ges, and to the election of trustees and temporary clerk. Among other matters to be disposed of was the case of Rev. Carl G. A. Hull horst, M. I), of Lincoln, who has re pudiated all doctrines of the church, and who was suspended about a year ago, pending final action which was taken last evening. Mr. Ilullhorst, formerly a Fresbyterian minister, and now a practicing physician in Lincoln, has been writing articles under an ec clesiastical cognomen, and action was taken last evening dismissing him from tbe ministry. Another case to be considered was that of a young man named Wedge, of Lincoln, who was ex amined for licensure, and was taken under care of the ministry. The Presbytery adjourned last even ing until Thursday morning, when a short session was held to dispose of un finished business, and to hold theclos ing exercises. The Presbytery adjourn ed to meet next year at Alexandria, Neb. Nearly all tbe delegates return ed to their homes today, well satisfied with the successful meeting held in this city. Body of Snider Found. Sheriff Quinton returned last even ing from Louisville, where he was call ed to hold an inquest over a floater, identified as the remains of John Snid er, which was found in the Platte river one hundred yards west of the Missouri Pacific bridge at that place. The body was badly decomposed, and was discovered by John Koop, Will Gentry and Chas. Carter, who will share the $150 reward offered for the recovery of the body. Chas. II. Staley, a cousin of the deceased, who has been assisting with the search for the body, since Snider fell in the river at South Bend on the 24th of February, was present at the inquest, and took charge of the remains, which were shipped to DeWitt for interment. The jury holding the inquest found that John Snider came to his death by accidental drowning in the Platte river. A check for $90 issued by the Rock Island railway company, and several dollars in silver were found up on Snider's body, which was easily identified by the cousin.

Warga and Altia Warner. After che ceremony it is understood that the young couple went east on a wed ding trip. The groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Warga and is an employe of the Burlington shops, where he has many friends who will congratulate him upon the happy event. The bride is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Warner, and has many friends in this vicinity. A Convincing Argument. The main banana dealer in Platts mouth is John Schiappacasse. The other day a wholesale dealer from Om aha gave him a call. John complain ed that bananas were too high to make anything on them at 20 cents a dozen at retail. The Omaha man said he could, and to prove that John was mistaken he proposed to count a bunch, and took them all off the stem. The bunch cost John $2 at wholesale, and when they got through counting there were exactly twelve dozen. John knew what was what, and asked the wholesale dealer how he expected him to make any money out of such a pro position after paying the freight. He had no more trouble in convincing the wholesale dealer that the wholesalar was the one that made the profit. When you fool John Schiappacasse on fruits, you will have to get up ear ly in the morning. Straight Ahead. If you wish to attain a certain ob ject, try to reach it by a straight road. Have only this one object in view and give it your undivided attention. If you wish to cure a diseased organ of your body, select a remedy which will act directly on it. The experience of others will often prove of the greatest value to you. It has been shown that in diseases of the digestive system Triner's American Elixir of Bitter Wine is the only remedy having a di rect effect on the same. It is compos ed of titter herbs, the action of which on the stomack has been known fcr centuries, and of pure wine, which give tone to the whole system. It Is there fore indicated in bodily weakness, loss of appetite, inactivity of the stomach and of the intestines, in indigestion, constipation, tiredness, drowsiness, uncleanliness of the complexion and in other maladies resulting from a dis turbance of the digestive system.

The noon hour brought to a conclu sion a very enjoyable morning for the delegates, who were invited to the basement, where dinner was prepared and served by tbe ladies of tbe home missionary society.

The popular meeting, a Joint ses sion, will be held at the church this evening, and an interesting program will be rendered. MAIL SERVICE MEN ANGRY Strenuously Object to Working With Negro Clerks. Railway mail clerks who were work ing out of Lincoln are much disturbed over having to work with colored men in the service, according to tbe Jour nal. The race question is assuming proportions that may bring on serious trouble later on. Discussing the mat ter one of the clerks says: "Two colored railway mail clerks are now employed on the runs out of Lincoln. The men have not yet been assigned to regular runs. They are used where they are needed. The two negroes now in the service are nice, clean, gentlemenly fellows, capable of doing the work as well as many other substitutes. There would be no ob jection to their taking places in the service if they could be given runs by themselves. The objection comes when white men must ride, work and associate with them In the same car. The white men are willing to treat the negroes civilly and give them all the privileges demanded, but they do not want to work with them. The prejudice of race exists and they make no pretense of hiding it. One of the clerks has refused to remain on duty with a colored man and he is now awaiting discipline from the depart ment. Other clerks are awaiting the outcome of this breach." Bright Prospects for Peace. A special from Chicago, under date of yesterday, says: "A settlement of the controversy between the western railroads and their conductors and trainmen seems nearer tonight than at any time since Commissioners Knapp and Neill have interceeded in behalf of peace. After delivering the ultimatum of the general managers to the representatives of the men this afternoon, a long conference was held and the final result was that the labor leaders came to an agreement which they requested the two government otlicials to deliver to the managers to morrow. While it is not known offi cially the exact nature of the basis of settlement agreed upon by the men, it was stated by a man in authority that the prospects for a peaceful set tlement of the difficulty were bright tonight. It is generally believed that the general managers have made slight concessions." Death of Pioneer Railroader. The Lincoln Journal in speaking of the death of one of the Burlington em ployes says: "The death of James II. Dailey in this city yesterday recalled to the old time railroad men a strik ing figure in the early history of the Burlington west of the river. For thirty years Mr. Dailey was connected with this road, and he left his position with the company only after age and infirmities made it difficult for him to perform his duties. "Mr. Dailey died Tuesday night at his home, 1441 M street. He was born in County West Meatb, Ireland, in 1840. He came to America when very young and settled in Missouri with his parents. During the civil war he was a troop wagonmaster, and after its close he engaged in boating on the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. In 1868 he moved to Omaha, where be was employed by the Union Pacific to take charge of transfer gangs. This was before the bridge was built when it was necessary to transfer the traffic over the river. After that he took a position with the Burlington, remain ing with that company until 1900. At that time he was roadmaster of a large Burlington mileage west and north west from Lincoln. "Mr. Dailey married Margaret Ann McLean in St. Louis in 13GG. He is survived by ten children. Mr. Dailey has made his home in Lincoln for many years, and served four terms as a member of the city council."

I "Whir Quality Count." MRS. THOS. WILES DEAD End Came About 3 O'clock Wednesday Morning After Short Illness With Typhoid Fever. In the death of Mrs. Thomas Wiles, which occurred about ." o'clock Wed nesday morning at their home west of this city, after a brief sickness with typhoid fever, and of which mention was .nade in last evening's issue of the Journal, this community iscalled upon to mourn the loss of another of its most highly esteemed pioneer settlers. Although Mrs. Wiles has been sick for about two weeks, she was not bed fast until about one week ago, and the news of her demise comes as a great shock to the many friends. The fatal illness it is thought was contracted during a recent visit in Kansas. The deceased was a native of Gentry county, Missouri, where she was born in July lHi. Her maiden name was Barbara Linville, and at about eight years of age, she together with her pa rents, removed to Mills county, Iowa, where she resided for atout eighteen years. During her residence in Mills county she united, when about IH years of age, with the Christian church, in which she has been a faith ful and active member. In about January of the year 180S, she was joined in marr'age to Thomas Wiles, who with his parents was then liv ing in Mills county. A short time af ter this union the young couple re moved to Cass county, settling on the farm west of this city in Plattsmouth precinct which Thomas Wiles' father had purchased from the Indians in the year 1351. On the old home place they have continued to reside for the past thirty-nine years, winning tbe love and re spect of their neighbors, accumulating considerable wealth, and rearing a family of four children, three sons of whom one, Tom, died during early childhood, and one daughter. The children are: Rev. Lorin M. Wiles of Burlington, Kans.; Mrs. Grace Wiles Finch of Topeka, Kans., and Cash L. Wiles, who resides on a farm near this city. The last tributes will be observed at the home Friday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, Rev. A. L. Zink, pastor of the Christian church officiating, and inter ment being made in the Oak Hill cem etery. Those desiring to view the remains are requested to do so between the hours of 12 and 2 o'clock, as after that hour the casket will be closed. Removes $5,000 Limit. By the passage by both houses of Harrison's bill doing away with tne $o,000 limit of damages for the acci dental death of a person, tbe legisla ture has given another blow to tbe railroads. As most of tbe accidental deaths in Nebraska, especially those from which damage suits arise, occur through the railroads, the measure will cost them thousands of dollars annually in increased Judgments.
