AJESTIC
RANGES
The Largest Shipment Ever Received
in Cass County.
A great deal of comment was
aroused the fore part of the week by
the Immense pile of ranges which
stood on the sidewalk in front of
John Bauer & Son's place of busi
ness. The people noting the large
display did not know that it was the
largest shipment of ranges ever re
ceived at one time In Cass county,
but such it was. There were forty of
the great Majestic ranges, a range
which is synonymous of the highest
type of cooking utensils. The Maj
estic has been on the market for
many years, and it stands at the head
of all stoves or ranges. Sold In
nearly every country on the globe this
great range is particularly a favorite
in the United States, and boasts of
having been sold in every state and
in forty of the states it has been sold
In every county. When one stops to
think of this last statement, he can
see that the Majestic must be a mag
nificent piece of furniture to merit so
widespread a sale and to have main
tained a great business for a long
period of time.
Bauer & Son make the Majestic a
specialty and they have built up a
great market in Cass county for it.
They sell it everywhere in the coun
ty, and know that the car load which
they have just received will not last
them any length of time. They have
tried and found by experience that
It is profitable to them as well as to
the people using their wares, to
handle the best grade of ranges and
sell them at fair and reasonable
prlcese. The fact that they have been
able to dispose of so many here in
this city and in the county gives
them proof better than any words of
the merit and popularity of their
goods. For sixteen years this firm
has handled the Majestic. They do
not hesitate to put the Majestic up
alongside any stove or range manu
factured in the country, and know
that it towers head and shoulders
above all competitors.
In this county there are Majestic
ranges which have been in use eight
een and twenty years, and some of
them have never had ,or needed one
cent's worth of repairs, a record
which challenges the world. One of
the reasons why Bauer & Son make
this their specialty is that it takes
less repairs than any other make on
the market. During the sixteen
years which this firm has handled
this line of ranges, they have had
but little over $100 worth of repairs
to all the ranges they and their pre
decessors have put out In the coun
ty. That is a record which speaks
more eloquently than words of the
merits of the Majestic.
They will be glad to show their
line of Majestic ranges to anyone who
desires to visit their store and look
them over. If they can't make good
on their declaration that.the Majestic
is the best in the market, they don't
want to sell them. That they can
and w ill make good on any guaran
tee they give is certain. The Majestic
Is the leader. It took the grand prize
at the St. Louis world's fair as the
greatest and best of ranges and that,
too, in competition with the best of
American and foreign makes. Bauer
& Son sell them In Cass county.
Well Known In l'lattMiiouth.
The Central City Nonpareil tells
this of Pete Taylor, a man known to
every traveling man who "makes"
the north country and whose long
service makes a record: "A. Ibson,
the successor to Pete Taylor as road
master on this division of the Bur
lington, arrived yesterday with his
family from Lincoln. Lacking but
two months Pete Taylor has put in
forty years of service on the Bur
lington, and he feels that he has
earned a rest, 'lie will still have
charge of a stretch of track on each
side of Central City, but the duties
will not bo so arduous that he will
have to waste much energy In look
ing after them. Mr. Taylor built the
first track on the Burlington this side
of the Platte river, lie probably
holds the record in this part of the
state for continuous service on the
Burlington." Mr. Taylor was for sev
eral years a resident of riattsmouth,
nnd many ofthe "old-timers" will
remember him.

Advance of Pork.
The price of pork has recently ad
vanced to such an extent that even
the restaurants have raised the price
of a short order pork dinner from 20
cents to 25 cents. Pork chops are
retailing for 18 cents. The advance
in the price of pork without a corre
sponding rise in the price of live
hogs has been somewhat of a puzzle
to many. Valentine Weiler believes
the advance in the price is due to the
simple fact that the larger packing
companies have control of the market
and happened to take the notion to
raise the price. He says that about
six months ago pork was selling for
from 12 to 13 cents while today it is
selling for 18. At the same time he
declares that the price of live hogs
has not advanced more than 1 cent
per pound In this time. He believes
that as soon as the Nebraska City
packing plant begins operation again
this fall the price of pork will be re
duced. The Nebraska City plant
never operates ; the whole year
through but closes down whenever It
has made enough killing to supply its
customers for some time. The man
agers of the Armour cold storage
plant In the city, however, say that
scarcity Itself will account for the rise
in the price of pork. They say they
are not nearly able at the present
time to supply the demand for pork.
They also hold that compiled figures
and estimates show that the supply
of live hogs lu the country this year
is not over half what It normally
should be. Lincoln Journal. c "

THE SHOP
QUESTION
They Will Remain at Plattsmouth Not
withstanding Rumors Otherwise.
Several days since the Journal re
printed an article from the Havelock
Times which went into details con
cerning what that paper believed
was In store for that place, and what
they hoped would happen to Platts
mouth. It was printed so that our
people might see how slender a basis
there was for all the talk about shop
removal. There will be new shops
built In Havelock unquestionably,
but they will be in addition to what
the company has there without
doubt. The local shops will remain
until they are completely out of
commission and then they will be re
newed without question, as the
ground and the location is too val
uable to be allowed to lie idle or to
revert to the original owners.
The people of Lincoln and Have
lock are not friendly to Plattsmouth
in any way and whenever they can
get anything tangible to hang a false
hope on they tie to It. Under these
circumstances the following from the
Lincoln Star, the fairest paper in
that city toward Plattsmouth, shows
that no idea is entertained of moving
the shops here at present away.
When the time comes to consider that
question it will be taken up in the
right way and Plattsmouth will
know all about it.
The Star says:
"In railroad circles it is claimed
that the Plattsmouth car shops will
not be moved to Havelock Immed
iately. Thomas Roope, the superin
tendent of motive power, is out of the
city, but hla right hand men say that
the car shops will stay at the Mis
souri river town.
"The two million dollar car shops
that are going up at the shop city
will be used exclusively for engine
building and repairing for some time.
The railroad officials admit that
there is a possibility of the work be
ing transferred at a later date, but
they say that It will not bo done un
til the Plattsmouth shops become too
old for use. The far shops have been
built for many years and It appears
only to bo a matter of a few years
until new buildings will have to be
erected If the shops are to be retin
ed. Then it will be time to devise
the location, say the men who ought
to know.
"The work on the gravity yards
west of lLncoln Is being completed
at rapid rate. About 200 men are
working and it is probable that the
yards will be completed before the
first of next year."
