After
etaiis
It's just as necessary to be
careful about shirts, neckties
and socks as a suit or a top
coat. We buy our stock of haber
dashery with one big idea in
mind, to offer the public a wide
variety of high class merchan
dise at the most reasonable
prices possible.
Moreover, we don't stop at
this. With us a customer is a
customer, whether he wants
a pair of socks or a twenty-five
dollar suit. And all our cus
tomers are treated alike.
Don't overlook the little
things they help to make the
big ones.

From "Wednesday's Daily.
Yesterday afternoon Albert Godwin,
who has been officiating as the motor
cycle cop for the city, was given a
dose of his own medicine when Chief
of Police Barclay pulled him for ex
ceeding the speed limit while riding
on Vine street and while he was not
in the discharge of his duties, but
merely riding for his own amusement.
The young , man was located by the
chief out on Chicago avenue and
brought in for trial before Judge
Archer, who after learning the facts
in the case fined him $10 and ctsts,
which he paid and was then released
from the custody of the officers. This
is another example of the fair-minded
way in which . the speeding question
is handled in this city, and the authori
ties are seeing that everyone who
violates the law is compelled to toe
the mark and answer if they are
guilty.
SILAS LONG VISIT
ING HERE FROM THE
STATE OF FLORIDA
From "Wednesday' Dally.
Silas Long, formerly one of the lead
ing residents of this county, but who

tropic nature and the orange groves
thrive very nicely. They are located
seventy miles from Palm Beach, the
great winter resort of the south and
which is in great favor with the col
onv of the rich from New York and
the large eastern cities who winter
there. Mr. Long reports that since the
family has moved to Florida, his
daughter, Fern has married and re
sides near their home in the southern
tate. Mr. Long has been out at Lex

MR.1(AUBLE, A RES
IDENT OF PLATTS
MOUTH SINCE 1854
From Wednesdays Dally.
One of the early pioneers of Ne
braska,., is Frank N. Kauble. He
crossed the Missouri river at Nebraska
City, where he- located in 1853. He
came to Plattsmouth in 1854, crossing
the river in a flat boat. The Omaha
and Pawnee tribes of Indians were
still here. But the white people had
commenced to settle in the country.
In the year 1S5G, Mr. Kauble located
in Rock Bluffs. At that time it was
a thriving river town, and was looked
upon as the future county seat of
Cass county, and where the Burlington
railroad would cross the river. There
was a steam ferry boat plying the
river, run by James Spratlin, Sam
Latta being the engineer. Steamboats
were loading and unloading, and much
grain and meat was shipped down the
river from Rock Bluffs, Mr. Kauble
having seen as many as five steam
boats at the landing at one time. At
this time Rock Bluffs was larger than
Plattsmouth. The leading merchants
were Eithel and Doom and L. R. Box
ley; later on, Johnson and Spratlin.
George L. Seybold ran a drug store.
Mr." Kauble had the usual experiences
of the early pioneer.
Mr. Kauble is one of the many old
residents of this locality who will be
able to take part in the "Home Com
ing'' during the coming week and add
his store of experiences of pioneer
days to the many stories of early days
that will be made the order of the day
on Friday, September 1. There are
a great many of the oldest residents
of the state here in Cass county and
they will all be present if possible on
this notable occasion.

THRESHING OUT IN STATE.
From "Wednesdays Daily.
Will Propst accompanied by Clar
ence Mason has departed for McLean.
Neb., where Mr. Propst has a contract
for the threshing of 2.000 acres of
oats. The threshing outfit was ship
ped over the Burlington to the scene
of action and the boys will soon be
busy taking care of the crop in that
section of the state.
EAT A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING.
Perhaps the best system of living
is to take a little of everything
not too little or-yet too much omit
ting all those foods which experience
has shown to be harmful. Besides se
lecting the proper food it is also
necessary to prevent the accumula
tion in the body of poisonous matter.
This cleaning out process Trainer's
American Elixir of Bitted Wine will
do in a thorough manner. This rem
edy willt not tolerate any waste mat
ter in the body. It will relieve con
'stipation, weakness, nervousness, pov
erty of blood, and will increase -your
appetite. It will also strengthen the
digestive organs and make them able
(to, accept and digest enough nutritious
food. At druggists. Price $1.00. Jos.
Triner, Manufacturing Chemist, 1333
1339 South Ashland avenue, Chicago,

Stiff neck or stiff back should be
rubbed with Triner's Liniment, and
the stiffness will soon disappear. This
liniment is very good in rheumatism
and neuralgia. At drug stores, 25c
and 50c; postpaid, 35c and GOc.
FERRY HAS DOUBLE SHIFT.
The Missouri river ferry is now
ready to serve patrons at all hours of
the day or night, and a double shift
will be used iir operating the ferry.
The river is in good shape and the

sengers either day or night when they
