It is a well known fact that Merchandise of every class has greatly advanced in price. All of our stock was contracted for over nine mouths ago when clothing was perhaps at its very lowest. The
greater part of these goods, though worth more, were delivered to us without one word of complaint on the part of the manufacturer but am the various people thai .we tobwun&mtotoercs
who desired to get the full benefit of the advance in prices and WE WERE COMPELLED TO FORCE THESE FIRMS TO DELIVER US $io,ooe.oo WORTH OF MEJ S SLITS AND OVER
COATS BOYS' AND CHILDREN'S SUITS, OVERCOATS AND REEFERS, which were due us by contract. We now have the goods m the house and they are worth at wholesale just 25 per
cent more than what we paid. The season is quite far advanced and we have decided to place these goods on sale at a very slight advance over and above what we pa.d winch wil mean to those who buy
that'they will own their goods for about 10 per cent, less than the present wholesale price. This is truly an opportunity. This is a chance and is surely worthy of careful invest.gation. Dollars are worth
just 75 cents in the wholesale market today and the man who supplies his wants early this season will get the benefit of a good selection and the lowest prices. , , ,

WHAT A DEATH!
A 'great grandson of Zachary Taylor
was killed while fighting ; in the British
army against the Boers in South Africa.
What an ignoble death! Great heavens,
a grandson of a president of the United

people struggling for liberty as our brave
forefathers did in the revolutionary war!
Yes, ignoble death, that's what it is.

. . THE REAL QUESTION. 1
The only clean fisht on national issues
was in Nebraska. The nominations were
for important offices and were almost
lost sight of by the voters. This was
encouraged by the campaign speakers
on both sides. It was thoroughly un
derstood that the real question was ap
proval or disapproval of the policy of
the administration, for McKinley for
Bryan. The democratic leader .n a
decisive victory. The Nebraska election
overshadows all the others in importance
aa bearing upon the presidential cam
paign. Nebraska has been a republican
state by from 25.000 to 40,000. Mr. Bryan
has just carried it by approximately
15.000. Mr. Bryan: in the interview
published yesterday, points out that last
year ine rusion canuiuste ior tfoveriiur
received 3 000 while even in 1896 the
fusion candidates for presidential elec
tors received less majority than the
ticket received this year. This year the
elements in support of Mr. Bryan, made
a net pain of three district judges and a
laree eain in country officers. Buffalo

VERY STRANGE.
It is learned that auite a number in
the county did not vte on election day.
It is strange that men win oe so negli
gent of their duties, will regard their
citizenship witu so little concern, win oe
so ungrateful for the privileges and bless
ings of a tree government, mat iney can
not afford to spend part of one day in a
year to vote. This is like thousands of
other questions, it is not understood and
and appeciated. II tnese persons were
subjects of the Czar of Russia for a few
years they would consider it differently.

QUEER PROSPERITY.
Ten of our western states I see by

and that don't count the chattle mort
gages on their farm machinery, stock,
wagons, and even their crops, by gosh,
that ain't two inches high under the
snow. You see what the prospect is for
farmers now. The government is rich
but the men that nude it, the men that
fought peraire fires and peraire wolves
end iniuns and pcrtator bues and bliz
zards, and has paid the war debt and
nensions and everything else, and hol
lered for the union and the republican
party and free schools and high tariff
and anything else that they was told to
is left high and dry this weather with

AN IDOL SHATTERED.
There is considerable criticism of Ad
miral Dewey's generosity in sending the
deed of the house which was recently
purchased for him by public subscription
to a conveyancer in this city to have it
transferred to his bride, and the suberib
-rs to the fund in this city are already
making protest. While the house was
presented to the admiral without enndi
tion, it was not expected that he would
irive it away, even to hi wife, who is
wealthy woman and already owns several
houses in tnis city, wne of them
leased to Secretary Hitchcock for a rent
al of t''Ai) a year. It was supposed that
the admiral would occupy th house as
long as he needed it and then bequeath
it to his son, who is just beginning to

AGAINST THE MILITARY.
Members of the late First Nebraska
seem to have fared very badly as candi
dates this year. The populists nomi
nated one of them for clerk of the
district court in Clay county and he was
the only man on the ticket who was de
feated. The republicans nominated one
in York county and elected nearly all the
rest of their ticket. The populists nom
inated one in Saline county and his op
ponent had the largest majority of any
man in the county. In Fillmore county
one populist and two republicans from
Co. u were nominated, two or tnem be
ing opponents for the same office. The
one who had a clear field and a civilian
opponent was defeated and the populist
soldier who was running against the re
publican soldier was elected but the
smallest vote was cast for the nominees
of this office showing that many voters
would not support either nominee. Liu-
ring the past thirty years the country
has heartily tired of military politics
end the people evidently intend to nip
in the bud any repetition of past experi
ences. Exeter Enterprise.
A HIGHER AMBITION.
I have a higher ambition than to hold
office. I do not care whether 1 ever hold
nffiee. but I serve notice to my republi
can friends that I propose to stay in pol
itics until the lid closes down on my
coffin. The republican party today
stands for the right of aggregated wealth
to dictate to the remainder of the na
tion: and the reform forces will not halt
until they have secured an income tax,
election of senators by the people, the
restoration of bimetallism, and until
they have driven the banks out of the
business of governing, and given the
government the sole rignt to issue money;
until we have turned dbck me tiue oi
militarism and driven the trusts out of
erintencei until we have stamped out
these ideas of government imported from
Europe, and set the nation again nrniiy
on the foundation of its founders. Wm.

KANSAS JUDGES.
In Kansas there are thirty district
judges, six judges of the court of ap
jeals, two judges of court of common
pleas and three iudires of the supreme
court. This is a total of forty-one. Of
these the populists will have, after Jan
uarv. as a rerni t of the irains in the re
cent election, twenty one and the repub
licans twenty. The Press.
NEVER FAILS.
Nebraska never fails nor never has
failed to roll upoverwhelming majorities
against the republicans when Mr. J. II.
Edmisten has charge of the campaign as
ONLY PART OF ONE TRIBE.
The Kansas City Times calls attention
to the fact that there are now in Philip
pine waters and on the way there, forty-
six war shij)8, besides the "mosquito
fleet that is doing service in Laguna
Bay and the rivers of Luzon: and an ar
my of 75,000 men is, or soon will be, mo
bilr.ed at Manila and in that vicinity.
If we are fighting only a fractional part
of one tribe, as the president and the
rest of the imperialists conlaully affirm,
where is the ned of this immense fleet
and army? Journal Democrat.

Will Tabulate
The populist state committee have
becun a careful analysis of the 1899 vote
by counties. One of the comparisons to
lie made will be the vote on supreme
judge as compared to the average vote
on county officers. Various local mat
ters enter into the county campaigns
which materially affect the vote of any
given candidate; hence the fairway is to
take the total votes polled by the seven
(or eiuhti fusion candidates and divide
by the number of candidates; this will
irive an average of the fusion strength
on the county ticket, and may be greater
or suialler than Holcomb's vote in that
county. The same will lie done with the
republican vote. Anumlierof counties
show that the candidates for supreme
Judge ran from 100 to 200 votes behind
the average vote on county officers, but
whether Holcomb or Boose suffered
most from this neglect to vote the head
of the ticket, remains to lie proven by
the figures on all the counties,
HAULS DOWN THE FLAG
MvKluley Surrender to England Thous
and of Acres of Land that we
Bought and 1'aid For.
It might as well be admitted that
England can have anything she wants
from the McKinley administration.
Through the medium of our speckled
and striped and furbelowed secretary of
state we have surrendered to England a
very important strip of American terri
tory in Alaska, that was bought and paid
for with American money as far back as
1867. So little has been said about this
disgraceful transaction that compara
tively few of the people know what has
been done. Like the treaty "understan
ding" between the administration and
England, it has been "kept still." The
announcement, like all the recent acta of
the administration, comes in the form of
an apology for wrong doing, as follows:
The state department is connaeni it
has conserved American' interests in
the matter, without unjustly treating
Canada. The divisional line, bounded
on the west by the Dalton trail, is
placed 22i miles above Pyramid har
bor, which is regarded under the trea
ty as a tidewater mark, so the Canadi
ands are not allowed to reach any
point on Lynn canal. Moreover, there
is no permission for free transfer
across American territory of Canadian
goods, except miners' belongings.
These matters may figure later, when
it comes to a permanent boundary
line, but they are not touched upon in
this modus.
In reaching a correct understanding
of the foregoing it is necessary to re
member that we bought from xlussia, ior
t7,2O0,0UO, ten marine leagues of land
from tidewater mark at ryramta narDor.
A marine league is 3i English miles. We
own, therefore, 35 miles inland from Pyr
amid harbor, and McKinley has aban
doned to the English, without compen
sation, a strip of territory 12 miles wide
the whole length of southeastern Alaska.
He has pulled down the nag, without
firing a shot or even making and elec
tioneering speech in protest. 1 he value
of this large territory may be beyond
computation, if it should prove as rich
in gold as some other portions oi Aiasaa.
It may be worth more than all the Phil
ippine islands combined, where we are
spending 115,000,000 a month and kill
ing women and children for the gold
that the islands are supposed to contain.
England knows that this Alaskan terri
tory is valuable, or she would not have
wheedled it out of our piebald secretary
of state. Having established tho rob
bers' gold standard, she must now rob,
or beg, or steal all the gold bearing terri
in the world to "sustain" her gold stand

"Rose, Sweet Rose"
The social talk of the hour is the re
cently announced engagement of Sena
tor John M. Thurston, of Nebraska, and
Miss Lola Pearman, of Omaha. It is
understood that the marriage will occur
almost immediately before the opening
of congress. The first Mrs. Thurston
died nearly two years ago, in a yacht off
the coast of Cuba, when the senatorial
party were passing from Matanzas to
Santiago. The bride to bo is a daughter
of Representative Pearman, and has
lived in Washington several years. She
has many personal and mental charms, I
besides a tine soprano voice, ana mure
than local reputation as a kindergartner.
Senator Thurston's poetic ebullution last
Spring, entitled "Rose, Sweet Rose," is
said to have been inspired by the pre
sentation to him of a rose by Miss Pear
man. The flower was one of a bouquet
he bad given her that evening. ,

Breeders' Association.
The Annual Meeting of the Nebraska
Improved Live Stock Breeders' Associa
tion will be held in the State University
chapel, Lincoln, beginning, December 19
at 7:30 o'clock p. m. Three sessions will
be held the following day, for discussing
stock breeders' topics: and a business
meeting the forenoon of the next day,
Dec. 21st. An excellent program of top
n mlat.inff ta the breeding, feeding and
management of improved live stock has
been prepared, and a very interesting
and valuable meeting will certainly be
held.
In addition to the regular discussions
and business meetings, the matter of
holding a live stock snow and sale of
Nebraska stock, in the autumn of 1900,
will be considered.
The leading stockmen of Nebraska
have generally signified their determine
tion to be present at this meeting, and it
is believed that the largest attendance
will be secured that has ever been
brought out in connection with a Ne
braska breeders' meeting.
Assistant Republican
Speaking of Bob McReynolds and his
"assistant republican" sheet, The Last
Hope of the Republic, brings up the fact
that Bob tried very hard to have Gov.
Holcomb appoint him chaplain of the
Third Nebraska. Bob professed to love
Bryan as a brother in those days. He
fairly swelled with pride to see Silas A.
Holcomb occupying the chair of the
chief executive of this state. He was
ready, willing and anxious to administer
spiritual consolation to the officers and
men of the I hird AebrasKa. ut uov.
Holcomb could not appoint several hun
dred chaplains for the Third, so he se
lected a real preacher for the place.
Thus Bob, the pretended preacher, was
robbed of a captains rank and the pay
of a first lieutenant. , He had scarcely
one qualification of a' minister of the
goicl--except a ravenous appetite for
yellow legged pullets. Then the iron en
tered his soul and, aided by sympathetic
republicans, he started a niiddle-of-tho-road
populist paper fully intending to
wreuk his vengeance upon Governor
Holcomb and Colonel Bryan. How suc
cessful he has been in running an as
sistant republican sheet is apparent to
all his most vicious attacks were made
upon Holcomb, Bryan and William Mc
Laughlin, fusion nominee for treasurer
of Lancaster county; Holcomb Is elected
by a large majority, Bryan is emphatic
ally endorsed for president, and Billy
McLaughlin carried Lancaster county
by nearly a thousand.

We do not often realize what a Mess

a few of them, and while a dentist can
supply a set that is better than none,
they cannot compare with thoe nature
