Those Who Pay By Check
Are spared the annoyance and expense of
paying twice for the same thing - for they
always have positive and undisputable
receipts for every payment. That receipt
is the cancelled check , which is returned
to the bank depositor after the bank has
paid the money it calls for.
On the back of the check is the signa
ture of the person or firm who receives the
monr.y. Their signature is PROOF of
their receipt and acceptance of the amount.
We invite you to open an account
with us , subject to your check.

ATT HE THEATER
Parsifal.
Tlie dramali.ederblon of the
beautiful t-torv of Par.stfal was pre
sented to a large audience at the
Auditorium last night , and the pla >
left a deep imprint upon the people of
Norfolk who heard it.
The pioductlou was btagod by an
excellent company , veil balanced ant
capable , and the scenic effects were
the most elaborate and most beauti
tul in detail ever seen in the cit > .
The stor > of the Holy tirail , not a
light one by any means , must have
sent every auditor home with ideals
uplifted. The beauty of the story , the
victory won by the stioug , line follow
Parsifal , over the evil temptation de
llberatcly ami maliciously thrown into
his path , could scarcely do other thai
arouse the purest sentiments of an.\
soul. And that this victory was ap
pealing was indicated by the spontan
eons applause given Parsifal when he
had won in the conllict.
It was a play from which any mln
ister might take ideas for emhodimen
in sermons U was a storv which lef
its lesson upon the mind and heart.
A religious plav it was , and nior
forceful than many a pulpit sermon
It was a pla > to arouse best thoughts
instead of the laugh. H was a beaut
ful story beautifully told In the Ian
miage of the stage , a play differcn
from the average run , and one tha
remain In memory.

CLEv'ER SKIT ENDS QUARREL.
Estranged Lovers in Theater Same [
Night Girl Jilts Aged Lover.
Kankakee , 111. , Oct. Hi. Real life
melodrama yesterday changed the
course of events In throe HVCH. It cost
Jacob Otten , a wealthy Chlcagoan , a
bride , and brought together two lov
ing Kankalcee heaits which had for
merly beat as one , but which , for a
year , had been doing their beating
independently.
George lleyen , a woll-to-do young
farmer , and Miss hlx/.le Hoener ,
daughter of a neighboring farmer , at
tended the Mljou theatre in this place
Monday night. Up to a year ago the
couple had been sweethearts and were
engaged to marry , but a lover's ( mar-
rel separated thorn and for one year
they had not met. Neither know of
tlie presence in the theater of the
other till they met face to face , after
the curtain had fallen.
Pretty Miss Uoeuer's seventeen-year-
old heart pit-a-patted terribly and
forced tears of .sympathy to her eyes
when the stage lovers quarreled. It
was so like her own ease , all but the
ending , which was one of tlie "and
they were married and lived happily
o\or afterward" kind.
The clover bit of acting affected
lleyen also. lie sighed and thought
tears , even If ho did not display that
much emotion. Then the curtain fell
and each wandered out. In the lobby
of the theater they met. The meeting
was a bit strained.
"Wasn't it line ? " remarked lleyen
by way of saying something.
"Yes , " sighed Miss Hoener , "espe
cially the ending. Thai's the way all
quarrels should end. "
"Would you ? . Do you i moan it ? "
nuked Hoyen , excitedly , as he grasped
her hands.
"Yes , " declared Miss Hoener , forget
ting that she was to marrj'-.Iacob Ot- '
ton ot Chicago , forty-qighV years old
but wealthy , next week. "Yes , I mean

Amend the Primary Law.
Aluswortli Klar-.lonrnal : The pres
ent primary law , while a Mop in the
right direction , bringing the voter a
little nearer to the power that nom
inates candidates- sadly in need of
amending in several particulars and
especially in the matter of arranging
the names of the candidates on the
ballot. At llrst glance it would seem
that no man would take the trouble
to vote unless he had a preference.
Hut it se"ius that this presumption is
not good. , t ' -ii will \ote , whether
they Inne a preference or not , and
experience lias demonstrated that a
great many will vote for the lirst name
they come to.
Take the instance of nominating a
candidate for state auditor at the late
Republican primaries. Sllar R. Har-
ton was well known over this state
and very popular. He was clearly
the iholce of tlie large majority of
the Republicans of this state , and yet
he ran only 'JOS votes ahead of John
H. Alden , a man totally unknown to
the people of Nebraska a man who
made no canvass for the nomination ,
and whose name is said to have been
put up in tlie llrst place simply as a
joke to test that phase of the pri
mary law.
Kollowing the name of Alden , came
Allen and Authes , witli a total ol
8,087 votes.
Presumably , therefore , had it not
been for these two names to divide
the preferences for tlie letter "A , '
Alden the unknown would have beei
nominated and Barton , the man ol
many friends , would have been de
feated.
The ease of Williams , renominatet'
for railway commissioner , is 'cited ii
opposition to this view. The cltatiot
Is in order , but not entirely applica

The corporations had made such i
light on him that the people wen
aroused from one end of the state t <
the other. They were determined t <
renomlnate him , and they did , evei
though they had to go to the button
of the ticket to find his name.
The people can always be trnstei
when they are aroused , but some
times they sleep so long.

THE PEOPLES DEPARTMENT STORE
Money Savers for the Careful Buyers
r\ONT let the high quality , high price store people make
you think that you have to pay a big price to get
quality , for you don't. Can you tell why the medium price ,
good quality stores in Chicago , Omaha , Kansas City or St.
Louis make such a success ? It's on account of giving the
people good square merchandise at less money than the
other stores. A great many people in Norfolk have nevet
been in our store since the change was made , have never
given us a chance to show them that our prices are lower
and qualities just as good as "the other fellow's. " These
people owe it to themselves if they are careful , consistent
buyers to at least come in and examine qualities and get
prices on our merchandise ; you will be surprised , the same
as a great many have been surprised lately.
