MR. U. PUBLIC,
PIattsmcuJb, Neb.
Gentlemen:
The clothes question is becoming nearly as import
ant as the food question, and as clothiers, we are going to
tell you here, squarely where we stand and what you can
expect of us.
We have a great clothes-making institution back of
us The House of Kuppenheirner. When you buy a
Kuppenheimer suit you rely on the resource and reputa-
1
I
I
s
1

tion of a house with a record
that will be upheld despite conditions.
Good fabrics are scarce and unobtainable in cheap
clothes. Kuppenheirner standards and ideals have been
maintained on the patraotic faith that now, as never be
fore, men realize the practical economy of good quality.
The war is making men practical. Styles are plainer
reflecting more of the military spirit. Never was Kup
penheirner designing at such a premium stripped of
belts, plaits and other ornamentation. Styles will have
to stand on their own graces and artistic design.
We invite you to come in and see these new Kup
penheirner styles for Spring that attain distinction that
will be rare in the coming season of simple fashion..
Very truly yours,
i?

DISTRICT COURT ROOM
From Thursday's Pail. v.
John Siever. the efficient and good
nauired janitor of the court house is
proud and justly so too of the appear
ance that "Old Glory" has given
to the District Court room, since he
has unfurled it over the bench of
the judge. While Mr. Fiever has. had
the pleasure of placing a flag over
each door entering the court house
and pulls one to the top of the flag
staff every day, be is deriving more
pleasure out of the large flag which
is six by ten feet wheih he has plac
ed in the district court room, for
the reason, he says it faced every
on who comes there to secure citi
zenship papers, and gives them an
inspiration of Liberty, and their re
lation to a free government in which
they seek to become a part and par
cel. EUYS MORE LAND IN THE WEST.

as great as the ordinary insurance
held by the largest commercial com

AN OLD PIONEER PASSES AWAY
Froai Si. ! i l .la y's laily.
Howell Frances St. John was born
February 14. 1S:?6 in Wert field.
Ohio. In this place he spent his
early life. There he received his
regular district school training and
spent several years in ati academy.
At this time also, he showed his
preference for the Baptist church
and at fourteen years of ag3 was
taken in as a member.
On March Kith. ISal he was mar
ried to Jane Klizabeth Munn. Their
early married life was spent in
Westfield.
Later they moved near Fremont.
Ohio, where Mr. St. John was in
itiated a member of the Masonic
lodge, in which he has remained the
past 5 4 years.
In 1S74, thinking he could im
prove conditions for himself and
family, he moved to Nebraska, where
he lived many years.
Mr. and Mrs. St. John experienc
ed many disappointments in life
three of their five children having
preceded the father, namely: Ar
villa. who died at the age of 13
months; Mortimer and Clarence,
win both were 2S years old at the
time of death.
For the benefit of his health Mr.
St. John, with his wife spent several
winters in Florida. In 190G they
moved to Bellingham Washington,
where the- ' lived five years. It was
while there they celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary.
Their return to Xehawka was due
to poor health. Mr. St. John spent
many happy days in this town,, and
had a host of friends. During his
last weeks he was very appreciative
of all kindnesses shown him.
Death which occurred Friday mor
ning March 1, 1918. at about 5
o'clock, brought little suffering, but
took a devoted husband and a sym
pathetic father from the wife and
two children: Charles I), of Ne
hawka; Gene Barkhurst of Weeping
Water, and eight grand children, all
of whom feel very keenly the loss
Qf him.
A short service was held at the
home of the deceased 'Sundav mor-
iimgai f:u. ine remains were
taken to Wyoming on the morning
train, where another short service
was held at the grave in the Wy
oming cemetery. Rev. W. A. Taylor

night in the old Broadway hall on
Broadway, south of Tenth street, a
new restaurant to be known as
"Hank's Elite Cafe." Preparations
for the opening of the establishment
have been under way for several
weeks. The large hall has been
completely redecoated, a cigar stand
and automatic piano installed, an
indirect lighting system put in and
a complete kitchen fitted up. Around
the walls of the room are a score or
more of small tables screened by ar
tificial palms. The center of the
floor has been left for dancing.
The opening of the establishment
Monday night was well attended. As
soon as practicable the proprietor
plans to have a cafe open from 12
o'clock noon until 2 p. m., during
which hours a business men's lunch
will be served. In the evening the
place will be open from 5 until 12

place Mr. Madsen has been a very
successful restaurant operator for
several vears past. He has been pros
perous and has always enjoyed a
good business.
THE WAR SUMMARIZED
Further details of the engagement
of Monday night in which American
troops occupying a new position in
French Lorrine beat off a German
raiding party, show that a sharp
fight took place in which the Ameri
cans belonging to a unit among the
most recent arrivals in France, gave
the Germans an unexpectedly warm
reception, repulsing them with loss
es.
The Americans here, it is revealed,
are in training with French troops,
as are those on the Aisne front.
north of the Chemin-Des-Dames. As
yet only the third Amercan group
that east of St. Mihiel, is holding a
sector of its own.
The capture of a Prussian lieuten
ant by an American colonel took
place shortly before the Americans
entered new positions in Lorraine,
the American officer getting his man
in a German trench where he had
gone with a French raiding party in
search of information.
Military operations in the wes
tern European war fields are again
confined to trench raids, artillery
bombardments and corrollary aerial
activities.
Both sides are almost equally ac
tive in the newly developed raiding
tactics in which the artillery arm is
freely employed by way of prepara
tion and support. The German raid
ers, however, were somewhat more
aggressive than usual during the last
thirty-six hours, according to the in
dications in the official reports which
reveal thrusts by German troops
virtually all along the line from
Finders to the Vosges.
The artillery fighting long the
French lines centered chiefly in the
Verdun region where it was accom
panied by rids which the French re
pulsed. Bombardments also have
occurred at various points in Lor
raine but there is no mention of the
American sectors in this district hav
ing been further driven at by the
German infantry.

GREAT PHOTO PLAY OF
"CLEOPATRA" NEXT WEEK
William Fox's screen production
of "Cleopatra," in which Theda Bara
assumes the role of the Egyptian
temptress, is declared to be the most
elaborate presentation of a film scen
is drama that has ever been attempt
ed. The expense involved in making
this picture was tremendous, it be
ing announced that the production
cast $500,000. Those who have
seen the picturization of "Cleopatra"
declare it can easily be comprehend
ed that so much money was paid out.
For the interior of Cleopatra's tent
alone, more than $30,000 'worth of
decorations were used to give the
barbaric appearance of splendor ac
credited to the time of the great
Cleopatra. There were used also in
this wonderful setting two rugs val
ued at $30,000. In addition the
various tapestries, silks and furni
ture amounted to more than $20,000.
Never before in the history of photo
dramatic production has there ever
displajed such a lavish and costly
display of decorations as are shown
in this magnificent scene. "Cleo
patra" will be the attraction at the
Gem theatre on next Tuesday and
Wednesday, March 12th and 13th,
with matinees both days.
