To start with, Armstrong: Clothes are good enough to pay for;
they are worth more than their cost in good looks and service. In
the second place, Armstrong Clothes are good enough to talk about
at any time and on any occasion. Armstrong Clothes are better
known and more widely worn than any clothes in this section of the
United States. We aim in our ads to tell something of these clothes,
both by description and illustration, but to know Armstrong Clothes
you should see and try them on.

new theatre Is the second largest in
the city, and the largest in Nebraska
outsida of Omaha and one theatre In
Lincoln. Everything that modern in
genuity could furnish towards making
its appointments complete has been
used, and the result is certainly a
rredit to Manager Gorman and the
company that invested its money.
The Bijou has furnished Lincoln
with an advance:! step in vaudeville
entertainment. Hereafter there will
be but two performances daily, one in
the afternoon and one in the evening.
The prices obtaining in the better
vaudeville houses throughout the
rou n try will prevail, and this will per
mit of larger, longer anfi better per
formances. That the people appre
ciate this change is manifested by
their patronage of the Bijou.
It is really . a treat to even look
through the new Bijou. The interior
decorations are splendid, the stage is
large enough to present the largest
of attractions, and the seating ar
rangement could not be improved up
on.. The safety of the public has been
amply provided for, there being six
large exits, properly marked by red
lights.
A large proportion of the attractions
will be billed through the Orpheum
circut, thus Insuring the best possi
ble features.
The wage earners of the city should
not overlook the fact that Manager
Gorman insisted on having only union
workmen on the job of building, and
this delayed the opening of the sea-,
son. The Bijou 13 "on the square"
with organized labor, and for that
eason It deserves liberal support.
RISSER APPOINTED.
Mayor Brown has appointed Justice
Risser to the position of police judge,
vice P. James Cosgrave, resigned to
become county judge. The appoint
ment will be satisfactory to a vast
majority of Lincoln people. Judge
Risser will be .duly elected to the po
sition at the November election.

DEATH OF JUDGE WATERS.
Community Shocked by Demise of
Popular Young Jurist.
Lincoln was shocked Tuesday morn
ing by the announcement of the sud
den death of Frank R. Waters, county
judge. His illness was of less than
twenty hours' duration, and death was
due to acute Sioniach trouble.
Frank Waters was one of the most
popular men In the city. Always af
fable, always full of good cheer, he
was welcomed in any crowd. A kind
husband and father, he won the re
spect and admiration of those who
believe in the upbuilding of a better
citizenship by the building up of the
home.
Judge Waters has not been in the
best of health for several months, and
the arduous campaign he recently en
gaged in evidently weakened him.
Although defeated in that, campaign,
the support he received under the
circumstances was a tribute to his
popularity.
The funeral was held Thursday af
ternoon, and interment was in Wy
uka. The Masonic order, of which
he was a member, took a prominent
part in the funeral ceremonies.

FORCED TO BE GOOD.
The Lincoln Traction Company Now
Trying to Square Itself.
The Liucoln Traction company is
now trying to square itself for its
many past sins of omission and com
mission. The State Railway Commis
sion recently decided that it must
Hftll six tickets for a quarter, but gave
the Tractioni company until Novem
ber 1 to put the order into effect. To
the surprise of everybody the Trac
tion company beat the commission to
it by a full month, and on October 1
ilj conductors began selling six
tickets for a quarter. School children's
tickets at the rate of ten for a quar
ter were put on sale at the same time.
This is about the first time the
Traciion company has tried to deal
fairly with the public, and it is to be
hoped that the experience will prove
so pleasant and profitable that it will
continue experimenting along that
Jine. ' .
The Wageworker has a sneaking
suspicion that Manager Humpe is re
sponsible for the sudden acqueisence
of the company in the commission's
order. The Traction company would
have been in much better odor with
Lincoln people if Mr. Humpe had
been allowed to manage affairs wHh
cut interference from New York. He
knows what the Lincoln people want
and what is clue them from the Trac
tion company, and he is willing to do
the right thing. But he has been
handicapped by a policy of "Scudder
ization" that made the Traction com
pany the wovst-hated corporation in
the city. '
But wouldn't it have been a differ
ent story if it had not been for the
organization of the Citizens' Street
Railway company and the building of
a competing line? Who believes that
the Traction company which is one
Scuddor, to all intents and purposes
would have submitted to the com
mission's finding without a long legal
fight if it were not for the competi
tion that has arisen? The fact of
the matter is, the Lincoln Traction
company has been forced to be good.
THE STAR'S ANNIVERSARY.
This week the Lincoln Daily Star
entered on its ' sixth year. It has
grown in strength and influence Trom
its first issue, and is today one of the"
nest evening newspapers in' the coun
try. In addition to being a newspaper
it has always been friendly to organ
ized' labor, and from -the time the of
fice was first opened for business down'
to the present V time it has 1 been
manned by unionists in every" mechan
ical department. It has made a place
for itself in Nebraska and in the west,
and under its present management it
is making forward strides every day.
Here's hoping the Star will celebrate
birthdays for many a decade to corns.
