That's the cry of the hour. That's what you demand of us or any other
public servant, whether he be doctor, lawyer or merchant. You ex
pect us to lay our goods down at your door as low as you can send
away or go away and get them. That's correct. We don't ask any favors. You pay no
middleman's margin here. We bring the goods direct from the maker to you and buy
them in such quantities that he can quote us a very much lower price than he could
possibly quote you in single articles. We are necessary to your welfare. You could not
live in Plattsmouth without stores. You are necessary to our business. We could not
live here without you. Let's get together. We will prove to you that our prices not
only meet but discount outside competition. Witness a few items: Men's fleece lined
shirts and drawers 39c; Men's socks with genuine elastic toe and knit-on ribbed tops 8c.
They cannot be produced for less. Men's and boys' Jersey sweaters 39c where can you
beat that? Boys' aviation caps 25c; boys' Knickerbocker suits as low as $1.70 just
think of it Men's odd pants as low as $1.95; men's wool suits and overcoats as low as
$7.50, and remember they are not shabby trash, but good reliable goods that we stand

Tho death of "Clint" Leach, as
he was familiarly called, was one
of tho saddest it lias ever been our
lot to record a healthy, vigorous
young man whom Union citizens
had known from childhood, .-hid
denly called away by a very dis
tressing accident, which occurred
near town on January 22. On
Ihal day Clint was thrown from
a wagon ami his right leg was
mangled, and after the physicians
had exhausted their skill to save
the limb they found that, his only
,,,(! chance for life was to amputate
the limb, ami e en I Mat was ev i
denlly a small chance, that he
could surie. The operation
was performed Thursday evening
of last week, and for a short time
he appeared to be gelling along
very well, but on Friday his con
dition was not so favorable, and
al N:ir last evening he quietly
sunk into a slumber that freed
him from suffering. The funeral
services were held Sunday after
noon al 1 o'clock in the Baptist
church, Hev. W. A. Taylor official -ing,
and the remains were, laid to
rest in the cemetery west of town.
The pall-bearers were: Earl Up

Hay Brainblot, Harry MeCaiToll

Tho residence . which was re
cently purchased by T. II. Pollock
from Mrs. A. E. Qulnn, and which
was known as the Ambroso Pat
terson home, has been placed on
the, lots owned by Mr. Pollock,
near the Methodist church. The
moving was done by W. It. Bar
iium ami a force of men and the
work was accomplished without
any damage being done to the
house in any way, no paper or
plastering being jarred loose in
the job of moving, which is quite
a feat, as I lie house was moved
down the sleep incline from the
top of High School Hill to its
present location and the work
only required one day to accom
plish it. The house makes quite
an improvement in the appearance
of the street from the town, and
when fully renovated will, make a
most pleasant home for Mr. Pol
lock and family.

- ALMOST IN TOTAL
DARKNESS LAST NIGHT
From Friday's Dally.
The users of tho electric ligbl
and current in this city last even
ing suffered a great deal of incon
venience over an accident that oc
curred to the engine at the lish
plant. The company had one of
their machines taken to Counerf
Bluffs Thursday evening to haw
some necessary repairs made Mi
it, which caused them to use tke
remaining engine to carry the os
lire load of the service. About 6
o'clock yesterday afternoon tke
packing in tho monkey-box of the
engine blew out and put the plait
out of commission. In the or
dinary run of engines this box
can be detached, repacked and pl
back in half an hour, but on the.
engine in use at the light plant it
was necessary to take the entire
engine to pieces in order to re
pair the damage, and it was hur
ried through, but it required until
almost 10 o'clock to gel the cur
rent on again. The light company
was beseiged by inquiries from
many patrons who were caught
without any other means of light
ing other than the electric lights,
and as a result coal-oiL lamps
were at a premium in most of the
homes throughout the city.
