How About Those $25 Suits?
-it all depends on what kind of $25.00 suits are in question. If
. . .1 .
ihey are those all wool, reliably tailored, standard make suits that
we used to sell hi the good old days (?) when labor was 10 to 17
cents per hour why, then there are no 3uch suits, for these are now
worth $50.00 and they can't be bought for less anywhere.
we speak with positive knowledge as to the $25.00 suit so al
luringly described in city papers.
They are nondescript, no name, unreliable mer
chandise which have come onto the market as job lots
oud are being forced upon the public as "bargains" to
compete with decent clothing bearing well known and
proven labels and made by skilled and well paid labor.
Which Kind of a Suit Do You Want?
we assume you want the REAL thing and we want to sell it
to you. We are offering right now a bona fide discount of
2
from the REGULAR selling price on our entire stock of Men's Suits
and Overcoats. EVERY ONE GUARANTEED to give satisfaction.
This is YOUR opportunity.
You CAN own the BEST for the LEAST.

The Cylinder Machines
BUILT TO SHELL KUSKED CCRII
The Joliet Cylinder Corn Shelters possess all the advantages of other cyl
inder corn shellers and are free from their defects.
They do not require a man to stand behind them in the dust to keep Lack
the unshelled ears of corn.
In fact, these shellers are as nearly automatic as any machines can be that
require adjustment for. different kinds of work.
We have these shellers in stock. Come in and look them over.

Often the recurring question is
asked as to why this city has not had
a system of . free mail delivery and
the answer seems to be that there has
not been a real concerted effort made
to secure this feature of a modern
postal system.
The city delivery is one of the con
veniences of modern life that cer
tainly should be asked for by this
city and which the patrons of the
postotfice are entitled to receive.
Throughout the state there are many
cities much smaller than 1'lattsmouth
that have received free delivery and
where the facilities for delivery are
very poor 'indeed.
In the last few years there has
been miles of sidewalks constructed
over the city and now a well Kent
system of connecting' walks can bo
found in any section of the city and
which removes one of the reasons ad
vanced several years aeu against the
installing of the free delivery. The
receipts of the local postotfice more
than justify the granting of free de
livery and it is certainly something
that the business men and citizens
should see is secured if it is pos
sible. The installing of a free delivery
system would be one of the greatest
conveniences that could possibly be
given the residents of the city and
would enable the patrons of the post
office to receive mail twice a day at
their homes and eliminate the neces
sity of several trips each day to the
postotfice and also lighten the labors
of the. clerks at the office. It is es
timated that in some cases one fam
ily is given as much as eight differ
ent rervices during the day and prob
ably receive no mail any time during
the day and this feature would be
eliminated under the frpe delivery
i system.
I The securing of free delivery will
demand a concerted effort on the part
of the citizens but certainly It would
seem that it Is something that should
receive some thoughtful considera
tion from the people of Plattsmouth.
Thi safternoon Mrs. William Budig,
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Ofe and children,
departed this afternoon for Denver,
where they were called by the news
of an accident that befell George
liudig a few days ago. It seems that
George, who is employed in the L).
& R. G. shops in that city and was
injured in an explosion that caused
the fracture of several ribs, one arm
and severely bruised. The particu
lars of the accident were not conveyed
in the message and will not be
learned until later when the mother
and relatives reach the side of the
young man in the hospital.

day for a visit with Peter Herold
and family for a few days, Mrs. Her
old and Mrs. Chandler being sisters.

SMALL BLAZE AT NOON TIME
Early this afternoon, an incipient
blaze caused somewhat of an excite
ment when one of the members of
the home discovered a small blaze in
the floor of the west porch at the
Masonic Home. The alarm was giv
en and before any of the aparatus
could be reached the signal came say
ing the fire had been extinguished.
Situated as It was it was easily han
dled and a little work soon extin
guished the fire, with but a very
slight damage.
This morning Hon. V. F. Moran
of Nebraska City motored tu
spend the day here with friends and
to look after the situation here in
the political line as .Mr. Moran is the
candidate of the democrat;; for the
office of state tjeii.it or from Cass and
Otoe con n ti"?.
The iioininut ion c:ime to Mr. Mo
ran as the result, of the dt-.nand of
his friends as expressed in writing
his name on the primary ballot and
he is now before the people asking
their suffrage. He has served four
terms as county attorney of oioe
county and i.i one of the leading
members of the bar in that county.
If elected ho will make an able rep
resentative of this district in the set
tlement of many of the questions
coming before the next legislature.
Mr. Moran has been a resident of
Otoe county for more than f 1 year:',
raised on a farm, taught countr
school four years, practiced law
years and was County Attorney four
consecutive terms.
The Legislature which f ;nvi ;nr
next January will be one of the. i:. - i
important in thP history of the st
i On September 21, the peon'e of :
state adopted 41 amendment to the
constitution. The next legislature
will pass the necessary laws to put
into effect these amendments and the
way these amendments will affect the
people depends largely on the laws
drafted and approved by the next
legislature.
One of these amendments creates
a Commission of Industrial Relations
with power to settle strikes and to
regulate unfair business practice.
This will be a new court. No stale
except Kansas has passed laws simi
lar to the laws which will be re
quired to put this amendment into
effect. The jurisdiction and proce
dure of this court will require more
careful legislation than has beeen
passed since the adoption of our
constitution.
One of the amendments to the con
stitution gives the legislature the
power to pass laws respecting the
acquisition, enjoyment and disposi
tion of aliens" property. This amend
ment is a departure from our old
constitution and the laws affecting
the rights of the property of aliens
will require careful consideration.
The laws affecting these two
amendments will require the most
careful attention and consideration
of men learned in the law.
Nebraska is the most purely ag
ricultural state in the Cnion. Wise
and judicious laws should be pass
ed for the benefit of the farmer. The
Agricultural interests of the state
should receive the most careful
thought and serious deliberation of
everv member of the legislature.
