Careful Attention
O all our callers plays a wonderful part
in our business. We’d rather have a
man leave our store with a smile on his
face without making a purchase than have
a man leave with a frown after spending
his money. For that reason we give every
man our careful attention and we make it
our aim to find out exactly what he wants
and see that he gets it.
We have nothing “just as good"
to offer here no substitutes
to pawn off on anyone

St. Paul Man Sold
Diseased Meat
Charge Made That Hogs Ised For
Meat Nad Died From Cholera.
As the result of activities by in
sectors for the state food com
mission, Mike Svantner, a meat
market proprietor at St. Paul is
charged with having sold pork cut
from the carcasses of forty or
more hogs which had the cholera.
Some of the hogs it is charged,
were not even butchered, but died
before any attempt was made to
secure the meak
A complaint charging ten counts
against Svantner was filled in the
county court, and information
that reached Inspector Mayo was
that the defendant stood ready to
plead guilty and pay a fine of $100
on each count, or $1000 altogether
with costs added. Owing to the
failure of the county judge and
the county attorney to agree on
the amount of the fine, the com
plaint was subsequently with
drawn, but the prosecution has
not been dropped.
On Thursday afternoon the
principal witness against Svantner
disappeared from St. Paul. He
was a man who had been in the
butcher's employ and helped take
care of the carcasses of the dis
eased hogs, as he told Inspector
Mayo.
Food Commissioner Harman
had already sent Inspector Kem
ble to St. Paul for the purpose of
assisting Mayo. Kemble and the
Howard county sheriff drove in an
automobile to Grand Island on
Thursday evening, and at that
place they located the missing
witness. He had $135 in cash on
his person. When asked how he
came into possesion of the money,,
he replied that he “drew it out of
a bank.” He was arrested and
will lje held as an aceessory to the
crime of selling diseased*neat, un
less he tells the same facts on the
witness stand which he related to
the inspector.
The hogs that were cut up and
sold as meat, after they had con
tracted or died from cholera, were
kept by Svantner in his own pens at
his slaughter house, it is asserted.
People at St. Paul who brought
their meat of Svantner are very
indignant over the disclosures.
Resolution, Notice
sad Proposition
Whereas, Under the laws of the
State of Nebraska it is made the
duty of the County Board of Super
visors of each county in the state to
provide for a safe and suitable court
bouse for the transacting of the
county business, and to provide suita
ble offices for the accommodation of
the county officers and court rooms
and offices for the accommodation of
the several courts of record of the
county, and tire-proof vaults and
safes, for the safs keeping of county
records, and to provide a safe jail of
sufficient strength to hold prisoners.
And Whereas, Sherman county’s
court bouse is an old brick structure
and in poor repair, and not fireproof,
and wholly inadequate for the ser
vices required and unsanitary in
every particular, and the vaults are
not fireproof and not of sufficient ca
pacity to hold the records of the
county, and many of the valuable
records of the county affecting titles
to real estate are in no way protected
against tire, and some of the more
valuable records are protected by
reason of the board through necessity
having hired bank vaults outside of
the court house.
The county jail is an old frame
structure, and is not of sufficient
strength to hold prisoners, and is un
healthful and unfit for use.
And Whefeas, By reason of the
aforesaid condition of the court house
and jail of said county the record title
to each tract of real estate in said
county is in danger, also the court
records and the records involving the
estates of deceased persons are unsafe
and liable to be destroyed by tire or
otherwise, which might result in
endless litigation and great expense.
And the unsanitary condition of our
jail is dangerous to the health of any
unfortunates who may have to be in
carcerated therein, by reason whereof
the county may become liable in dam
ages to those confined therein.
Now, therefore be it resolved by the
Board of County Supervisors of said
county of Sherman, in the State of Ne
braska, in adjourned regular session
met at the court house in Loup City,
Nebraska, county seat of said coun
ty, and the usual place of meeting of
said board, on the 19th day of May,
1914. That there be submitted to
the legal voters of said county at a
special election to' be held therein on
Tuesday, the 30th day of June. 1914,
proposition which is set out fully in
the following form of notice, which
is made a part of this resolution,
which said proposition it will be
necessary to carry, in order to enable
said board to provide a suitable and
proper court house and jail for said
county, to-wit:
