HI BOLD BAD COLORED III SIHL IE VESTS PANTS AtID E RED f,l INVITED t TO Deputy Sheriff Manspeaker and Glen Rawls Start in Pursuit and H Recover Goods Onef Man Captured Later . An exciting chase after thieves livened up what would have other--wit) have been a . dull day lui4 afternoon when Glen Rawls, th active young man who repre sents C. E. Wescott's Sons In com pany with Deputy Sheriff Manspeak er made hot pursuit up the tracks in the Burllpgton yards after two negroes who had sought to steal four vest and four pants from Wes cott's. The excitement all took place this afternoon when two ne groes came Into Wescott's store and one of them engaged Mr. Rawls In conversation while the other sought to steal the clothing. Mr. Rawls was suspicious and kept an eye on the man at the front of the store while talking with the other man and thought he detected the former In the act of secreting the clothees. Not being sure, however, ho hestl tated about going after him and making him disgorge and did not make a move in that direction until after the man with whom he had been talking left. Mr. Rawls then Investigated and found that some pants and vests had disappeared during the visit of the men. Concluding at once that the thing to do was to get busy and run them down while there was yet time, Mr. Rawls started down the street to the Burlington station toward which the men had gone. Meeting Deputy Sheriff Manspeaker on the way down Main street, he recited the facts to him and asked him 'o help him locate the thleveH. Mr. Man- nucaUer joined him and together they reached the station only to see the negroes going north through the yards, one of them with a suit rase la his hand. They made Immediate pursuit, although the men had a long start. As soon as the men discovered that escape wus possible, Sheriff Manspeaker drew his gun and began firing at them. The men turned sharply into the hollow and began running. The sheriff realizing that a hunt on foot for them was al mOBt without hope of success turn ed back to get a team and notify Sheriff Quinton. Mr. Rawls continued the search on foot and when he reached the mouth of the hollow, he was sur prised and gratified to And that the men had thrown away the suit case and an overcoat In their flight. He opened the case and found in it four vests and four pair of pants. Hav ing recovered the property he re traced his steps to the city and re turned the goods in good condition to her store. After this he hurried to his home to change his clothes which had become much wet up In the chase. Deputy Sheriff Manspeaker after his return to the city Immediately notified Sheriff Quinton who hurried to the Burlington station, where he took No. 23 to Oreapolls, where he hopes to head of the fuglstlves while Deputy Manspeaker took a team and buggy and began scour ing the country for the culprits. He Intends to go to Oreapolls where he will meet the sheriff and together they expect to bring their men back. Wescott's Sons are much gratified at the recovery of the goods and hope to be able to prosecute the thieves. The two men had been In the store during the forenoon and Mr. E. II. Wescott had waited upon them but had snsplcloned something WTong and quickly quit them. They came In again while he was at dinner and Interested Mr. Rawls but with no bet ter ultimate success. The result of the pursuit Is waited with much in terest as the officers are determined to get them If such a thing Is pos- O.iondage Tribe of Fort Crook Want Local Tribe There Keeper of Records Walters of Mis souri Tribe No. 69, I.

We expect several of the Great One Million Dollars for a Good Stomach Tliis Offer Should Ik? Warning tit livery Man anil Wunuin. The newspapers and medical Jour nals have hud much to say relatives to a fmous millionaire's offer of a million dollars for a new stomach. This great multi-millionaire was too busy to worry about the condi tion of his stomach. He allowed his dyspepsia to run from bad to worse until in the end it became Insur able. His misfortune should serve as a warning to others. Every one who suffers with dyspepsia for a few years will give everything he owns for a new stomach. Dyspepsia is caused by an abnor mal state of the gastric juices. There Is one element missing Pepsin. The absence of this destroys the function of the gastric fluid. They lose their power to digest food. We are now able to supply the pepsin in a form almost identical to that naturally created by the system when in normal health, so that It re stores to the gastric juices their di gestive power, and thus makes the stomach strong and well. .

The pursuit continued with the men making faster time until they One of the men who stolo the clothes was captured this afternoon by Russ Todd, living west of Orea polls. Mr. Todd ordered the man reached the hollow Just this side 1 to march ahead of him to town, and of ' the pump house.. This hollow covering him with a shotgun, brought leads Into the -woods north of the hlra to the city.

HI HERETO : BUY CLOTHING and sell reasonable but these three are the exclusive clothiers and they can meet any competition. They draw trade from Omaha. Colonel John Franklin Swezey i , Comes From Omaha to ' . j .' ' Buy Overcoat. (There Is a possibility that I'latts mouth may not be a better place to buy things In than Omaha just a possibility. Yet, when a man comes down from that city to buy clothes, it ought to appear to the good peo ple of this city that they were mak ing 'a mistake when they go there for real goods. Such a case come tO;l;:the surface this morning when Col. John' Franklin Swezey, poet lariat of the plains, advertising agent par excellence and general all u round newspaper man, now connected with the? Omaha Daily News, arrived In the city this morning to buy a new wl,ntcr overcoat. Col John Franklin, whfc was largely responsible for the exiillent edition which the Journal got, out. during the summer com memorating thethlrleth anniversary of (he paper's existence,, assures the. Journal that In his visit to this city last spring he found he could not do so Veil in Omaha as ho could In this city In buying clothes. He wanted an "overcoat and ho went to C. K. Wescott's Sons for It. He got a per fect flt and not 'only that but he found he could buy good goods rliinper In Plattsmouth than In Om aha Isn't that going some? Tho rotij which Col. Swezey bought was of'. , the famous Hlrsch-Wlckwlre mlke, a (Standard the country over anjdj held by Omaha Iiousch at much mota than Wescott's Sons are hold lnfxjlt at. E .11. Wescott when ask ed about tho matter said It was true and that Col. Swezey was at least tho fourth man who had come from Omahu to buy goods of this firm. It Is a sterling recommenda tion for Plattsmouth merchants. What can be done wkh one firm can be done with another and In tho clothing business there aro threo exclusive clothing houses who run compete with Omaha on decent More Help Needed. Fire Chief Kouhek calls the at tentlen of the Journal to tho neces sity, cf tli u honorary members of the lire department aiding the active members In the care of Nelson Jones, an honorary member of the depart ment. The chief says that help Is badly needed to take care of the shk man and that the list of active members Is being rapidly exhausted. There has been only one honorary member voulnteer his aid so far and he does not consider this right as they are as much bound to' care for a fellow member as tho others. The Red Men have been helping out to some extent In caring for Mr. Jones whose condition Is very bad, but even with them, more help Is needed and the chief strong ly, urges tho honorary members to come forward and assist. There la help enough for several days yet but within a very short time the list will be. Exhausted and then more will bo needed. Mr. Jones renlly shows no signs of Improvement and there Is virtually no hope for his recovery. Ho delirious at times and It ls,jllf nonfc' to' restrain him from doing harm, either to his attendants or himself. All red men are Invited to this blowout, the more the merrier. If any of the brothers signify their Intention of coming, 1 would be very much obliged If you could give me an idea of hjw many to expect, so we can make arrangements accordingly.

Incidentally the charge against John of caving In his wife In several places seems to hnvo been unsubstantiated by the evidence and he was allowed to go hence without day.

A ' Large Gang. The Missouri Pacific railway is seeming to get to work In good earnest now. There are nine cars of Greeks stationed in the wards in this city, the men being employed in relaying steel on that road. The gang will be here for several weeks at least as they are to make this clly their headquarters during the process of relaying the steel from this city to Oilmore Junction. The work will take quite a while and when it Is completed the road will have heavy steel stretched over the line from Kansas City to Omaha. The gang will spend quite a good bit of money here during their stay as they" have to buy food to live on and this all helps the merchants some. J. I. Kulmey at Neliuuka. The Journal has learned with much pleasure that J. P. Kuhney, a brother of Harry of this city, and who was formerly a resident of Plattsmouth, has returned to Ne braska from Oklahoma , where he moved some months ago. John has located at Nehawka and has opened up a fine barber shop In that place. The Journal bespeaks for him the best patronage In the town as John Is an expert In his line. From past personal experience, the Journal can personally guarantee the people of Nehawka excellent treatment at his hands. As a barber he is without a superior In the Btate of Nebraska and as a man he is the right kind for a good community to have. John found that Nebraska was a pretty good place to live after all and while he has nothing to say against Okla homa, he has much to say for Ne braska and he thinks Nehawka Is about right, too. On that point we agree, Nehawka la a good town and It has a good recruit In John P. Kuhney. ; Hich Men's Gifts are Toor besides this: "I want to go on re cord as saying that I regard Elec tric Bitters as one of the greatest gifts that God has made to woman. writes Mrs. O.
