Biliousness and Constipation

NEBRASKA RE- '
TAILERS WOULD
STOP STEALING
DIRECTORS OF STATE ASSOCIA
TION URGE CO-OPERATION
TO CHECK BURGLARS
CASS COUNTY A HEAVY LOSER
Hardly Any of the Smaller Towns of
the County but Has Suffered
Numerous Visitations.

most satisfactory pant ever worn

From Thursday's Dally.
The board of directors of the Ne
braska Retailers have started a move
ment for a general spirit of co-operation
among the retailers of the state,
to check if possible the ravages of
gangs of burglars and thieves that
have In the past exacted a large toll
from the stores of the small towns
of the state in the taking of mer
chandise and stocks of goods and in
a great many of the cases making a
clean get-away owing to the fact
that the communities were without
local police protection and the par
ties committing the crimes were far
away by the time other authorities
could be summoned to the scene of
action.
The board of directors of the asso
ciation which met in Lincoln had
authorized the creation of a special
fund to be used in offering rewards
for information leading to the arrest
and conviction of parties -who may
have been guilty of the robberies of
the stores. It is also urged that the
merchants encourage the employment
of night watchmen in the towns that
have no police system, even to the ex
tent of the organization of special
merchants' police and also to effect
the organization of volunteer forces
of citizens and merchants so that
they may be able to deal with the
burglars at the time the crimes are
committed and to co-operate with
the state headquarters In reporting
crimes in order to cut down the pres
ent large number of robberies.
The retailers also joined in con
demning certain of the high tariffs
now in force and which retard the
development of the trade and are un
just to the retailer and the consum
er. The resolutions and the decision
of the retailers to combat the crime
wave will be of great interest to the
merchants of Cass county where the
robberies of the stores have been nu
merous in the past few years and
there Is not a town in the county
that has escaped the visits of the
night raiders and the residents can
feel a strong sympathy for the move
ment and give it their support.
The resolutions adopted by the re
tailers were as follows:
"Whereas, It is repeatedly comin
to our attntion that the stores of re
tail merchants thruout the 6tate are
being entered and robbed of merchan
dise, often into the thousands of dol
lars; and
"Whereas, It appears tnat such
robberies are being committed by
well organized bands, operating from
one or more convenient centers; and
"Whereas, We believe that co-oper
ation among the merchants them
selves can do much to check the
evil;
"Be it therefore resolved that we
the board of directors of the federa
tion of Nebraska retailers, in regular
meeting.
"Tender to the merchants of the
state the facilities of the home office
of the federation, as a central agency.
for the reporting of robberies and the
reporting of information that might
lead to the apprehension and convic
tion of the robbers.
"That we hereby instruct the gen
eral secretary of the federation to
establish corresponding connection
with a reputable merchant in each
town or city of the state, who will
assume the responsibility of prompt
ly reporting confidential informa
tion concerning suspicious charact
ers, who may be offering for sale in
his town or community merchandise
whose legal possession may appear to
be questionable.
"That we urge the members of the
federation and all retail merchants
to actively co-operate with the fed
eration in its attempt to eliminate
the evil.
"That the federation seek the co
operation of other merchants asso
ciations of the state in checking such
robberies.
"That we pledge the state depart
ment of law enforcement our support
and assistance in whatever plan they
may have for ferreting out these
bands of robbers and bringing them
to justice.
"That we uree the merchants of
the towns1 and cities to maintain
night watchmen, supported by volun
teer organization of the merchants
and citizens to effect a 'catch at the
time the robbery is being committed.
"We hereby authorize the collec
tion of a special fund to be used in
offering rewards for information lead
ing to the arrest and conviction of
person or persons burglarizing the
stores of members of the federation
who contribute to this special fund."
