YOU'RE probably not very different from the rest of us when it comes to getting some unusual value for your money; it's human nature, and everybody got some of that in them. We've made up our minds to clean up this stock of good things to wear to clear out all Fall and Winter goods and start the Spring season with an en-, tirely new lot of stuff. In order to do it we re quoting prices on these things that are good enough reasons for any man who likes to get good things for ess than they're really worth, to come here on the run. HART, SHAFFNER & MARX clothes are among these goods. Suits and Overcoats, worth np to $15, 01(1 (If) "Clean Up" price ,U,UU Suits and Overcoats, worth up to $21, .

GERING S CO. The following is the sylahus of the supreme court's decision In the mat ter of Kerr vs. Gering & Co., judg ment of the district court reversed and permit cancelled, Barnes, Judge: "1. A judgment of the district ourt dismissing an appeal' from the rder of a licensing hoard granting a druggists permit to sell intoxicating liquors Is a final judgment from which an appeal may be taken to the supreme court, and the fact that the district court assumes to direct fur ther action by the licensing board does not deprive the aggrieved party f that right. "2. The statute provides that on an appeal from the order of the licensing board the evidence taken before that board shall he certified to the district court and the case be tried there and determined upon such evidence only; and where an ap peal Is prosecuted from the judgment of the district court the clerk of that court i3 required to certify such tran script of the evidence to the court of review. When this is properly done a motion to dismiss the appeal for want of a bill of exceptions should be over-ruled. "3. Such an appeal cannot be said to present only a moot question If heard during the term of the license or permit, unless It appears that the same has been relinquished by the applicant and cancelled by the action of the licensing board. "4. Where It Is Bhown by compe tent evidence that the applicant for the permit ha3 violated the provisions of chapter 50 of the compiled statutes commonly called the Slocum law, dur ing the year preceding the filing of hi sapplicatlon the licensing board has no discretion but is bound to re fuse him a permit; and for the dis trict court to hold 'otherwise Is re versible error."

Stamp Act It Revived and Passed, House Members Being Allowed Fif teen Cents Day for Postage Bill for Lower Charges at Stock Yards. Lincoln, Jan 14. A resolution fa or'ng San Francisco as the logical point for the proposed Panama canal exposition was introduced in the house by W. A. Prince of Hall county and ono in the senate by Senator 1 lb bet3. The resolution seta forth as four reasons for the choico, the bene fit to the state from the passing across it of thousands of people, the opportu nity 1o advertise its resources, the benefit from those who stop on their way, and the benefit to the transporta tion companies of this state. The res elation was laid over under the rules to be taken up next week. Stamp Act Revived and Passed, Although the usual custom of fur nishing stamps to members of the house aggregating 'an amount of $1)00 during the session has been once defi nitely abandoned this year, it was taken up again and successfully car rled through. The members nave many inquiries for information and topics of bills and hesitate to expend their own good pennies for postage so when DoBtal of Cutler moved to re consider the former action he was vig orously supported. Gerde3 of Richard eon, who made the fight against the resolution before, tried to have the amount cut down from 15 to 10 cents a day, but that failed also. Twenty one Republicans and thirteen Demo crnts voted against the measure and It was carried by an overwhelming vote. BUI Cuts Stock Yards Rates. A bill declaring stock yards to be public markets and fixing the rates to be charged for taking care of stock was introduced in the house by Repre sentatives W. Z. Taylor and Frank Dolezal. The introduction of this b. recalls the long and bitter fight thp was made in the thirty-first session of the house by Taylor and hi rrlend3 to get a similar measur through. , The bill this year provide that charges for loadin;- and unload lng, watering and weighing, slnill not exceed $ii a load. Yarding, loading nn watering charges are fixed at 20 cent per head, calves 8 cents, horses mules 2" cents, hogs 6 cents and shee 4 cents. Hay must not bo charge for at a rate of more than 23 cent prr hundred pounds more than th wholesale price in the Fame marl-' on the same day, or similarly 33 cent over the wholesale price per bushel torn.

ROCKEFELLER AFFIDAVIT FUSE Quite a serious accident occurred of Martin Steppat, of this city, was driving to Plattsmouth from the farm with his customary light wagon load of milk. When the young man reached tho hill north of the ceme tery, and had started down the east incline, ono of the tugs came loose from the singletree, allowing the end of the singletree to project forward, and the wagon crowding the team tho horse on that side received a jab from the singletree which started the team, which booh became unmanage able. Before reaching the little school house, east of the cemetery, the wagon, with Its load was over turned into the ditch on the south sido of tho road. Gustave, alighting on his head In the wire fence, received some severe cuts on the head and one hand. He got up and made his way to the resi dence of Harry Smith, where he washed the blood from his head. Ills brothers, August and Frank, were communicated with by 'phone and they came to his assistance immedl ately, taking Gustave to Dr. Living stone's office, where his injuries were dressed, and then took him back to the farm. The team continued to run, com ing on down town and were caught near Charles Martin's livery barn at the corner of Sixth and Vine streets The damage to the vehicle was slight, outside of a broken tongue. The milk cans were overturned and the ship ment was a total loss. It is thought the accident could have been avoided If the team had been stopped as soon as the ldoso tug had been noticed, but as the buggy was running without the horses, Gus tave thought he would rehltch the tug when he reached the bottom of the hill. Rut before that point was reached the team had gotten beyond his control and the cold morning made the horses more anxious to take a spin than they otherwise would have been. It Is fortunate that In tho mlxup the young man was not more serious ly injured. As It Is he will have a sore head and hand for several days.

Yours truly, Inquirer, The Journal has often wondered why such things were done In this "land of the free and the home of the brave," and cannot give any reason for the existence of a law that can do such things. But, maybe this will pass under the observation of someone who can answer "Inquirer." FRANK B.
