June 22, 1899 CIS IU1 111 F Mia 0 Our competitoro think we have been dointr that these many years; flffuratively we have, ;but;;-; W now we intend to raise the roof in reality. On July 6th we begin to make room for our crowing fjl business. We cannot widen the lot; nor lengthen it, so we must build up one more story this is THE NEBRASKA INDEPENDENT. y the true story. Fifteen years ago our business space was 2,250 square feet of floor space, three years later we increased this space to 3,350 square feet; six years later it was 9,200 square feet eight years later we made it 12,550 square feet, and we thought we had reached the limit. A steady increase in business has compelled us to make further addi tions, and we propose to add to our space until, when completed, our floor space for doing business will exceed 19,000 square feet. We propose to give to the people of this section of the state the largest, most modern, and the best lighted and most convenient place to do business there will be west of Chicago. Our architect is working on the plans now,' and we will be compelled to vacate the rear one-third of our building for the workmen. In order to do this ' W1EB SEXIST EETES ROOMi We will have to dispose of a large line of our stock, and such prices as these will have to do it for us. This is not a lot of cheap goods bought especially for a sale, but our regular stock, which willhave to be sold to clear away one-third of our space for room for our workmen. Roof Raising Prices.

This, republicans claim, is producing popullets so fust aa to make the college practically a ainuergarieu. a.

The missionary ntarted out with a corporteur and two young Chi nese wheeling barrows. , For several days tbey simply heard rumors of tbe approach of tbe rebels, who were kill ing, plundering and burning. Finally, after four days' travel, they ncarcd a large city toward which crowds of fu gitives from the surrounding country were pouring by every road. At all the small villages rusty old guns were being furbished up and spears brought out for use. The city waa reported to be full, but thousands were pressing about the galea eager to secure the shelter of the walls. The missionary was unable to gain entrance to tbe gates because of tbe c-owd, which would give way only to an official. Many of these refugees had come aom distance, and all were cp Tying 'their household belonging In carta or In wheelbarrows. Little children were crying from hunger and eiposure. On reaching 8urhon, In Klangsu, It was found that the soldiers bad defeated the marauders, killing a large number.

Aad Tber Waa aa Ksee of Wblu Ovf Orsy Mattar. Dr. O'Hanlon, coroner's physician, recently performed an autopsy on the body of John Chester, 35 years of age, 807 Washington street, who was taken to the Manhattan hospital with a broken back, and who died tbe next day, says tbe New York Commercial Advertiser. Chester was found uncon scious leaning against a fence at One Hundred and Third street and Amster dam avenue. A policeman learned that Chester had passed tbe greater part of Sunday night In a saloon discussing mesmerism, and that he was experi mented upon. He fell to the floor of tbe saloon In the trance and waa taken out by the men and placed against tbe fence where he was found. The autop sy revealed that tbe man's brain weighed only thirty-seven ounces. The average weight of tbe brain, Dr. Han Ion said. In males, waa forty-nine and a half ounces, and in females forty four ounces. Tbe mailuarm was sixty- Ave ounces and th minimum thirty- four ounces, in addition to tbe excess ively light weight of the brain, tber waa an exces of white over gray mat ter In It. Th's, Dr. O'Hanlon said, In dicated a lack of Intelligence and leth argic mentality, but also was Indi cative of strong physical characteris tics. ' It was an Indication of the pre ponderance of th animal qualities over the mental. Such a man. Dr. O'Hanlon said, could b meamorlied easily. Chester' death, th doctor de clared, was due to a fracture of the spin between th sixth and aetmth cervical vertebra. n THETYPMOID PKVKR OUTBRg AK A - rtailatl af airaa A f,alll.
