RETURN FROM AT
TENDING FUNERAL
Of Brother Who was Accidentally
Killed in B2et Sugar Factory
At Scottsbluff, Nebr.
Krm' Frio.y Dally.
Yesterday Dr. J. II. Hall of this
city, acompanied by his brother,
Major A. Hall of Pacific Junction, re
turned home from their ead mission
in the west where they were called
to Scottsbluff by a message announc
ing the death of their brother, John
II. Hall at that place, on last Friday.
At the time of the departure of the
brothers from this city last Saturday
after th?rr tutd -fcteea ue-djtails
tho death received here and on their
arrival at Scottsbluffs they learned
thr.t tye had met his death as the re
sult of an accident In thfc refining
plant of the Great Western Beet
Sugar company, in which he was em
ployed. it seems the unfortunate man.
who was the foreman of the lime de
partment of the refinery, had been
having some difficulty with a part of
the hoisting machinery used in the
transporting of the slacked lime and
was attempting to release a large
steel bucket containing lime which
had been stuck in the runway at the
top of the buiWing and to release it
he had been shaking a large wire
cable and in some manner was struck
or caught by the cable and hurled
against the floor of the building, suf
fering the breaking of both arms,
crushing his chest and fracturing the
skull and resulted in instant death.
The funeral services were held
from the home in Scottsbluffs on
Monday and were conducted by the
I. O. O. F. order or which the de
ceased had been a very prominent
member during his lifetime. Dis
trict Judge Ralph W. 'HoLart of
Mitchell, a lifelong friend of Mr. Hall
conducted the services for the fra
ternal order.
John H. Hall was orn In Clark
county, Iowa. March 27, 1861, and
was a son of Hon. James Hall and
wife who. when the .son was quite
young, removed to Cass county, Ne
braska, where the family settled on a
farm in Eight- Mile Grove precinct
and here the deceased was reared to
manhood and made his home for a
number of years, removing in 1SS4
to the western portion of Nebraska,
and settling on a farm which has
since become a part of Scottsbluffs.
and on the site of the original home
stead stands the sugar refinery where,
Mr. Hall met his death. lie was one
of the first settlers and had a great
part in deevloping that portion of the
state from an arid region into one of
the most wealthy and prosperous sec
tions of the state. Mr. Hall leaves be
sides the brothers and sisters, the
wife and one son, Donald Hall, who
Is now engaged in work in the sugar
refinery where the father was also
employed. "
Mr. Hall was a man universally
loved and admired by those who had
the privilege cf knowing him and his
tragic death has come as. a great
blow to the family as well as to the
community in which he had for so
many years made his home.
The funeral services were attend
ed by three of the brothers and two
of the sisters. Dr. J. H. Hall of Platts
mouth; Major Hall of Pacific Junc
tion. Iowa; George Hall of Alvo; Mrs.
J. M. Craig of Kimball county and

"For about two years before I be
gan taking Tanlac my health was so
bad that I lost -two, or three hours
from my work nearly every day,"
said C. H. Melton, a construction
foreman for the Western .Union Tele
graph Co., Omaha, Neb. Mr. Mel
ten's home is at 3336 Tracy avenue,
Kansas City, Missouri, and it was
while he was in Kansas City one
week-end on business for his com
pany that he made this statement to
the Tanlac representative. .
"For 20 years before I started tak
ing Tanlac I suffered from stomach
trouble and nervous indigestion." he
continued, "and my condition kept
getting worse until about five years
ago I was in such awful shape that
recrly everything I ate caused me
tcrribls suffering. I had bursting
headaches, and gas would form on
riy stomach at times that I could
hardly breathe, and felt heavy ind
riuffy at the time. I suffered from
constipation and got so weak and run
i'owii that I could hardly drag about
:ind iHimctimes it looked like I would
lust have to give up my work en
tirely. "A friend of mine, who had tried
Tanlac, recommended it to me so
strongly that I began taking It. Well,
rir. in three days' time I could tell
that I had at last struck the right
medicine, for my appetite began to
improve, my stomach got better and
I vas feeling built up in every way.
I have now taken five bottles of Tan
lac. eat anything I want, have gained
II pounds in weight, and never have
a pain in my stomach. I have almost
forgotten that I ever had a headache
and I am not constipated any more,
and in short. I'm not the same man
and was never in better health In my
life. Yes, sir, of course, I can recom
mend Tanlac and I am glad when
ever I get the opportunity to say a
good word for it."

Winnipeg, Man., Nov. 28. -Returns
tonight from nearly one-half
of the voting precincts of Winnipeg
forecast the re-election of Mayor
Charles Y. Gray over S. J. Farmer,
candidate of the labor party. Gray's
vote in 61 of the 125 precincts was
8,061, while Farmer polled 5,407
votes. Farmer was supported by the
labor element which indorsed the
general strike last spring.
Gray ran on the citizens' ticket.
Returns from the aldermanic con
tests indicated that th labor candi
dates were generally running behind
the citizens' ticket's candidates. The
labor candidates had promised that if
elected would oust all city employes
who were appointed last spring to
replace employes, including firemen
and policemen who. went on strike
and were discharged.
CONGRESSMAN PAYS
TRIBUTE TO CROWDER
Washington, Nov. 28. A con
gressional speech on the" achieve
ments of General E. H. Crowder in
the world war is being circulated
over the country as a tribute to the
good work performed by that former
Fort Crook officer.
The brilliant speech of tribute
was concluded with itiese words by
Congressman McFaddcn of Pennsyl
vania, the author:
"I think when impartial history
gets written, on a plane equal to any
of them, perhaps on a plane above
them all, will shine the fame of him
I would honor today as the incarna
tion of America's initiative and
genius of origin and administration
who perhaps more than any living
man made it possible that America
should strike and can strike in over
whelming numbers, strike till the
final crisis was past and the final
victory won Enoch Herbert Crowder."

j The dance given in this city on
, Thaff kegiving eve bv the Eagles lodge

HERE FROM SOUTH EEND.
From Saturday's Daily.
Oscar W. Zaar, one of the leading
residents of South Bend, vjas in the
city today for a few- hours looking
after a few business matters and
calling on his friends in the county
seat. Mr. Zaar reports that the
work on the new Rock Island bridge

BIG SHRINER GATHERING.
From Saturday's Dally. .
Despite the cold and snowy weath
er a number of the Plattsrnouth mem
bers of the Nobles of th Mystic
Shrine made the journey to the oasis
of Lincoln where the members cf the
rhrine have prepared the sands of the
desert with unusual heat and tho
candidates will receive their full
benefit. The announcement of the
ceremonial states that the spirit (not.
spirits) of joyous jollification is
again predominant within this noble
DOINGS IN COUNTY COURT.
From Saturday' Dally.
This morning a hearing was had
on determination of heirship in the
Agnes Root estate on the petition of
Jesse A. Rjot, husband of the de
ceased, to determine the number of
heirs of the estate.
The license department of the
court yesterday afternoon issued a
marriage license to Roscoe Sill of
Bradshaw, Nebraska, and Miss Elean
or Christiansen of Weeping Water.
The young people will be married
at the home of the bride in Weeping
Water.
'Tis a curiou3 plight in which Ne
braska republicans find themselves.
They have a governor, elected last
year by a majority truly magnificent,
ar.d yet they want no more of him.
Nor, looking about, do they appear
to find promising substitute mater
ial. Not in recent year has Nebraska
seen a governor facing o contest for
a second term nomination agai:i.st
such odds as appear today. Half of
the republican state representatives
have participated in an anti-MeKel-vie
conference. An overwhelming
majority of the republican state com
mittee is reported opposed to McKel
vie's renomination. State officers,
whose own re-election fortunes are
inseparable from the head of the
ticket, conceal scarcely at all their
hope that some man other than the
present incumbent be the republican
candidate next year.
Meanwhile, there is a galaxy of
prospective candidates: R. B. How
ell and A. L. Sutton of Omaha, Don
Love of Lincoln and others. But of
all, only Sutton and Love are quoted
as being in a receptive mood. And
who are they? Love was mayor of
Lincoln a number of years ago, un
known to the state at large. Sutton
was the republican nominee in 19t5,
when he ran 40.000 odd votes be
hind state prohibition, although pro
hibition was the head, tail and the
body of his campaign nag.
And not one of thee would satisfy
rir, Victor Rosewater. What, for
party's sake, is the G. O. P. to do?

People are willinj to pay tho price for gojd clothes, but demand

Our makers of better grades hope

person reading an ad, says: "Clothing store bunk," but you are go

We know the present costs of things make it hard for a man with a
family to buy ahead, but if you possibly can, come in and pick you
out a suit and lay it away uutil you need it. Wc have seen all our
