FALL AND WINTER
Looking lot Good Clothes at a moderate price? That's the kind
we sell. Neat, dressy, well-fitting; and serviceable clothing at prices
' that appeal to the careful and economical wage earner.
. Ten to Eighteen Dollars
You'd pay more for the same goods at other places. But even at
this price we make a reasonable profit. The profit we make, how
ever, is not nearly as great as the saving to you. We can demon
these facts if you come in.
Union-Made Goods
Lots of them. Work Clothes, Hats, Shoes, Shirts, Overalls, etc.

lihcolh mm & Kt (0."
The shares are $50 each, payable
in 10 months at $5.00 per month on each share purchased.
It is confidently expected that this stock will increase in value
rapidly and also pay large dividends. ' The most conservative
business men of Lincoln are buying th's stock, and we want
YOU to have at least one share, a ft is intended to secure the
co-operation of many hundrejof stockholders with small in
vestments, rather than a few with large investments.
Every dollar subscribed will be put into the company's
property; no cash is paidTout for promotion.
EVERY DOLLAR OF COST WILL BE UNION MA
TERIAL AND LABOR!
It seems unnecessary to argue the profit in the busi
ness. Ice, alone, will pay good dividends. The most conser
vative estimate would be at least ten per cent annually,
riany other concerns pay four or five times this.
Write to any aridress below and say how many shares
you want. No mone wilt be asked for until enough is sub
scribed to make it sJfe to call the money. It will be thirty or
sixty days before any money will be asked for, and then you
will be notified where to pay the first payment.

That City's Central Labor Union Has.
Issued Warning.
In view of the fact that the press
of the country has been publishing
articles stating that there is a short
ape of skilled mechanics on the Pa
cific coast, and that the government is
ftarful it cannot get enough men to
repair the battleships which are corn
it g to that section to be overhauled
and put in order, the Central Labor
Union of Seattle, at a recent meet
ing, formally declared that all such
articles were misleading and were
disseminated for the purpose of
cheapening labor by flooding that sec
tirn with skilled mechanics, thereby
making a glut in the market, inas
ruich as there are now many mechan
ic? registered at the navy yard who
cennot get employment. The Centra!
Labor Union, therefore, warns all
union workmen not to be deceived
by such reports, and to make careful
inquiry as to the conditions before
starting for Seattle. The bakers there
alvo report a large number of idle
n.en, and some other crafts show the
same state of affairs.-i-St. Paul Union
Advocate.

Here's the One Who Prevented a Dis
astrous Business Panic.
During the money flurry- that re
cently threw a scare into the coun
try, Secretary of the Treasury George
U. Cortelyou said: "One of the most
giatifying incidents of our recent
trouble was the prompt and patriotic
response of many great labor organ
izations to the appeal of employers
for their co-operation. This co-operation
should be availed of everywhere
and generously recognized as a dis
t'net step toward a better under
standing between employer and em
ploye." There was not a single in
stancy where the union qjals got
cold feel and demanded TueTrnlaney.
The union men of the country could
nave demanded cash ror their work
and caused untold trouble and fail
ures of banks and employers, but
they did the square thing. Right
here in Omaha at the very moment
when the unions and union men were
helping to hold the country in the
prosperity column, one of our na
tional bankers called one of his de
positors to his desk and said: "If
.ou are employing union men we
cannot give you any of our business."'
That is the way this banker "gen
erously recognized" the co-operation

MAY BE NEWS TO SOME.
A great many staunch unionists may
pot be aware or the fact that tho
Youth's Companion is a "rat" publica
tion. It is and it is on the "we don't
patronize list." Too bad. Such an
exponent of "good" ought to practice
what it preaches.
A BIG PLANT.
The Righter Linotype Composition
Co., is the largest linotype job plant
in-; he state. The..'? -abinc-' was
installed the first of this week. It is
a new model. No. 5, individual motor
and everything that goes to make the
linotype IT.
Sharp Tongues.
Men ought to find the difference be
tween saltness and. bitterness. Cer
tainly he that hath a satirical vein,
as he maketh others afraid of his wit,
so he hath need be afraid of others'
memory. Francis Bacon..
Women Lack Dignity.
An English periodical writer, that
is, a writer for periodicals, says that
women do not know how to walk, and
get along like mechanical toys. "The
deplorable lack of dignity in women,"
he says, "is one cause of the bad
walking." Our forbears were dignified
and the oriental of to-day has inherit
ed the trait, but the modern woman
has it not.
THE LEATHER WORKERS.
Business Slack, But the Men Adopt
Heroic Work Rules.
Business is reported awfully dull
among the leatherworkers. In order
to distribute the work up and keep
as many families as possible provided
for, the local union has adopted an
eight hour rule with a $10 a week
limit. The man who works eight hours
a day and as soon as his weekly wage
rtaches $10 he lays otf and lets an
other man take his place. In this way
the money is distributed and none are
feeling the pinch of poverty. Of course
among "free and independents" this
rule would not obtain. The "hogs"
would work as long as they could, re.
gurdless of the privations of their less
fortunate fellows. But being the
"slaves of a tyrannical trades union"
the leatherworkers haven't got any
more sense than :o actuo'ly take steps
to make it as easy as possible tor all.

Drunkenness in 1600.
An English traveler, writing in the
year 1600, said that there were more
saloons in Dublin than in any other
city in the world. The Irish, he said,
always got drunk at wakes, weddings
and fairs. The English were not far
behind them, and over on the conti
nent alcohol was also making great
headway. Here in America, too, drink
ing was becoming a popular sport.
Cheaper Rate Than the Doctor's.
A few years ago on Sutter street in
San Francisco an ambitious young
Japanese had a little store stocked
with goods imported from his native
land. In his show window was a stack
of decorated mush bowls and leaning
against their front was a cardboard
sign bearing in stenciled letters this
announcement, "Fine Bowels, 50 cents
a set." Lippincott's.
' Pantomimic Golf.
To ' play behind a foursome , com
posed of Frenchmen one must resign
all attempt to play, golf, and in place
of it you must feel that you are com
pensated by watching the pantomime
of the quartet preceding you. . Trust
me, you will be amply repaid. That is,
if nature has endowed you with a
sense of humor. Golf Illustrated.
Black Potatoes.
A late novelty in the way of a black
potato has just reached the vegetable
markets. The potato was sent from
the Congo, and is said to have an ex
cellent flavor. It is to be used for
ornamental cookery. What-to-Eat ,.
When the Lamp Misbehaves.
If a lamp should ever be overturned,
do not attempt to put out the Same
with water, for it will simply spread
it. Instead, throw down flour, sand,
garden earth or salt, any of which will
have the desire deflect. ' . '

Laugh and Cure Dyspepsia. .
The best medicine in the world for
indigestiom says, an old physician, is
a good hearty laugh. , High spirits and
plenty of fun at the tab'le are better
dyspepsia cures than all the doctors
stuff in creation.
