This is a great store, this Nebraska. For upwards of 15 years
we have been selling clothing nothing else but clothing and
we bare the same people trading with us today who traded
with us wbon we commenced. We never lose a customer
through our own fault. We make ita point to treat people so
well and to give them such good vainestbat they will never
have an excuse for trading anywhere else, A man from In
dianola came into our store last week to see us and tell us he
was a customer of ours. 1 ie was one of the first men who ever
bought goods from us through the mails, "Well," said be,
"you fellows are great people, I have bought about 20 suits
of clothes from you iu the last eleven years and 1 have never
yet found a singlo fault with your goods or never saw clothes
from any other bouse that was anywhere noar as cheap, I
have 20 men ou my ranch and everyone of them sex the same
thing. It's got to be up our way that if we can't get what we
want at The Nebraska we go without. You couldn't get us to
buy anywhere else,"
N. I). Our catalogues are all gone for this season, but we will
gladly send samples of any goods in our Hue that you may
want.

lie is fully aware of the approach of
Spanish reinforcements, having noti
fled the War department that (Spanish
troops numbering 8,000, with pack
trains and cattle, are advancing from
Manzanillo, and are now within fifty

With Shifter's Aumv, June 29, via
Jamaica The preparations for a gen
eral advance of the American troops
on Santiago de Cuba are pushed
steadily forward and troops of all
branches of the service are hurried to
the front. General Kent's division,
consisting of the brigades of Oeneral
Hawkins, Colonel Pearson and Colonel
Worth, has Joined Oeneral Lawton't
division and with the cavalry division
ox General Wheeler and four batteries
of light artillery, will now be strung
out in the rear of Oeneral Lawton's
division.
The front still rests on the second
crossing of the Rio Guamo river on the
road to Santiago de Cuba, in the rear
of the crest of the Sevilla hill and
mile and a half back. ,
The brigade of General Bates, the
Thirty-second Michigan regiment and
a battalion of the Thirty-fourth Mich
igan regiment, which were landed
Monday by the auxiliary cruiser Yale,
remains at Juragua or Slbonay.
The delay in the general forward
movement is due to the inability to get
subsistence stores to the front rapidly
enough.
The advance, it is said, will not be
made until every man has three days'
rations in his knapsack.
This, however, is impossible until
the road is passable for wagon trains.
The pack trains can only convey one
day's rations in a day.
The men constructing the bridge
roads have the work almost completed
and this afternoon the first wagon
train of four mule teams will go
through. In two or three days every
man will have three days rations in
his knapsack and as soon as that oc
curs the army will move on the enemy.

"Do government mules get seasick?"
This was the interesting and some
what novel queHtlon propounded by
Lieut.-Col. G. C. Smith, the head of the
quartermaster's department In this city,
yesterday, upon the receipt of a tele
graphic ordor from Washington to im
mediately ship 120 mules to San Fran
cisco to go with the relnforcemonts to
be sent to Hear Admiral Dewey, The
mules are on their way to the Pacific
coast by this time. Upon arrival there
they will he at once loaded onto a
steamer bound for the Phllip-'-'s. The
trip across tho Pacific ocean will take
the mules nearly half way around the
world, the ocean voyage alons being
7.G00 miles In a straight line from flan
Francisco,
This being the case, Col, Smith nat
urally felt solicitous about the mules,
and wanted to know whether they were
likely lo Ket seasick. For, though the
quartermaster' department has been
handling mule for many years, there
was but one man in tho place who could
throw any light on the matter. He hod
It from a horse and mule trader that
mules never become seasick, but horses
do, St. Louis Henubllc.
A Deadly It Inf.
A ring, studded with diamonds and
pearls hangs suspended to a silken cord
around the neck of a statue In one of
the most frequented parks of Madrid,
It Is safer there than In the strongest
room of the Dank of England. Thous
ands of people puss It every day, and
admire Its beauty, but the greatest thief
in Spain benliates even to touch It. It
Is believed to deal out death to whom
It belongs. Tho ring was specially
made for the late Alfonso XII., who
gave It lo his cousin Mereedr on the
day of their betrothal. On the day of
her death It passed Into the possession
the king's grandmother. Oun

at night, and loave him Irritated all
over, while they retreat to the cracks
of the cage In tho daytime. The In
sect powder does no good, because It Is
not long enough on the skin to kill
them if they were there, wnleb Is
doubtful; 'for they are nocturnal, fitlil,
you may powder blm well, especially
under his wings, with pyrethrum
powder; then wrap him In a handker
chief and hold him for a quarter of an
hour until the powder has time to
work. Then give him a clean new
cage and have the old one either dip
ped In boiling water for several min
utes or baked in the oven. Nothing
short of this will destroy the horrors.
To know if they cause the Irritation,
cover the cage at night with a white
cloth, and if there are any about you
will see them, like little red specks, in
the morning.

Later, on hearing of the sorrow he had
caused, he wrote to the artist that be
regretted that he could not sppmk more

In reply the following note: "Dear
