Senator Henry M. Teller of Colorado and
Mrs , Teller were In the city yesterday , cn-
route from Washington to Denver. The for
mer was Informed of his re-election to the
United States senate by the Colorado logls-
laturo shortly before noon by a Hec reporter.
He received the newa with considerable
Interest and pleasure , though ho remarked
that ho believed there had been no con
troversy about the matter. Ho will appear
before the legislature of Colorado today
and thank the members for the honor again
conferred upon him.
During the morning Senator Teller and
General Mamlerson had n lengthy conference ,
the principal subject being the confirmation
of William D. Mcllugh to bo Judge of the
United States district court for Nebraska.
Senator Teller and General Mamierson were
warm friends when the latter was In the
senate , and arc still , and It IB presumed that
the good work of the ex-senator In Mc-
Htigh's behalf did not altogether fall. At
the conclusion of the contcrci.ro Senator
Teller said that bin opinion of Jutigo Mc-
HiiRh had risen considerably since his
arrival In Omaha yesterday. The Im
portance of this meeting can be Inferred from
Senator Teller's membership nnd influence
on the ssnate Judiciary committee before
which the appointment Is now being con
sidered.
Speaking of this matter. Senator Teller
said : "It Is not at all Impossible that the
fccnato may confirm President Clcvcland'fl
appointment , even against the opposition of
the two senators from Nebraska. If their
opposition Is based nn belief In McIIugh'.i
unntnt&s for the office , and If real charges
can be brought against him , their opposition
will undoubtedly count for something. If ,
however. It Is found that they oppose the
appointment on nothing more than political
grounds , If It la apparent that the opposition
Is to merely hang up the appoint
ment until the advent of the new
administration , I believe the appoint
ment will be confirmed. I should not care
to declare myself on the matter at this time ,
whether I shall favor the confirmation or
not. From what I have learned hero this
morning I should Infer that the appointment
had been well rrcolvcd and that Mcllush
Is a good nun. General Mandcrson sccnib
to feel that way about It , and you know wo
all think a great deal of Mm.
"Yes , I have heard General Manderson'e
name nraitlono'l In connection with the posi
tion , but I doubt If ho would resign hla
present place to accept It. IIo would make
r. snl md man If ho would accept. We nil
felt bad when ho left the senate , but 1
hardly think there Is a possibility of his
acceptance. "
COLORADO ytllAj DK HERB.
Speaking of the Transmlsslsslppl Exposi
tion , Senator Teller said he believed the people
ple of Colorado were favorably Inclined and
would do their share to make It a success.
At Washington there was nothing new ic-
gardlng the matter. Congress had already
made an appropriation of $200,000. "This Is
n liberal appropriation " continued Senator
Teller , "although we have given moro to
other expeditions. Whether or not congress
would , If asked , appropriate an additional
amount , It la dimcult to say. U depends al
together upon the dimensions the affair as
sumes. "
"How about politics , Senator Teller ? " was
asked. - ,
"Well , you know utter a great campaign
there Is always a lull In politics. The people
ple grew weary of political matters , and are
now quite content , I think , to give the
matter a rest. In my opinion silver will
continue to be an tsuc before the people
until the matter Is definitely settled. It will
he an Issue two years from now , when now
congressmen are to bo chosen , and It will
be nn Issue In the next presidential contest.
Until some action 1st taken on the subject
It will always bo before the people. Of
couisc , wo do not hope for much favorable
consideration from the Incoming administra
tion , but the fight will bo kept up. "
"Is there anything new In the Cuban situa
tion at Washington ? "
"No , I hellovq not. The senators and rep-
rrsentatlvcs who have been most active In
Cuba's behalf have been discouraged not a
little of late , and are not making such en
ergetic efforts to help the Cubans along.
This Interruption Is duo to no discouraging
turn of affairs In Cuba , for nothing has oc-
cut.cd there to discourage them , but rather
to an Increased hostile feeling In the United
States. The opposition of the present ad-
nvlnUtratlon to any measure favoring the
Insurgents , nnd a prevailing opinion that tha
Incoming administration will not be ex
tremely friendly , ore the causes for this halt ,
Personally. I bcllevo It would be well for
this country to give Its moral support to the
Cubans. It's about all wo can g'lvo them ,
and I wish we would. "
Senator Teller Is looking In better health
than when ha stopped off hero during the
summer. Ho appears innrc active , too. He
cnmo In at S o'clock yesterday from Can
ton , 111. there ho had been visiting his
aged mother , whom ho never falls to sec
on his way east or west. During the morn
ing he took a short walk about town. Ho
called on G. M. Hitchcock and discussed
exposition matters and the outlook for free
silver. The rest of the morning wan occu
pied with the conference with General Jlan-
derson. Senator Teller left for Denver
In the afternoon at 3:30 : o'clock , and will re
turn to Washington before Monday. Ho de-
Hires to bo there at that time , when the
Judiciary committee will take up and doubt-
lesn finally settle the question of confirming
William I ) . McIIugh's appointment. He will
not stop In Omaha on his return trip.

The committee on text books and course
of study of the Hoard of Education , with the
superintendent of Instruction , Is about to
thoroughly overhaul the present system of
text books. Many of the books now In USD
have been In the school * for six or eight
years , nnd are out of date In many particu
lars. Tli Li in specially true In the case of
nrographlca. Several changes have been made
In the political geography of the United
States since they were published , and the
tendency Is to misinform the pupils In re
gard to various states and capitals. It Is
also asserted that Omaha Is paying a higher
price for Us text books than la paid by other
cities. There has been no active competition
between the various agencies during the past
few years. The patronage of the board has
been divided among several establishments
and aa a result It Is now paying almost ex
actly the same prices that It paid five years
ago. Mcanvthllo the prices have been re
duced to other cities , It Is now proposed
to make a thorough Investigation , replace the
out-of-date authorttkvf , and endeavor to co-
euro moro favorable prices ,

tinuing for three nights , with matinee , ? Sat
urday and Sunday , the Corlnnc Extravaganza
company , headed by Corlnnc , will appear nt
Boyd's , presenting the operatic extravaganza
"Heudrlck Hudson , jr. " The extravaganza
as presented today Is rcpcrted to be entirely
now ; nothing has been retained of the oh !
play save the slender thread of a story which
wns evolved by William GUI and the late
Robert Prazler. The company la said to be
composed of a number of the best known
favorltis and what Is described as a chorun
of the handsomest women possessed by nny
company. The many features and novelties
are promised to be of the very best. A graui
scenic effect Is Immediately lollowcd by some
artistic specialty , which Is succeeded by a
grand character ballet. The whole Is Inter
spersed with comedy nnd aided by magnifi
cent surroundings , makes a combination
which at times Is said to be fairly dazzling.
Tomorrow evening Rosabel Morrison will
commence a half week's cngigcment nt the
Ciclghtcn , presenting n dramatic arrange
ment of Prosper Mcrlmcc's story , "Carmen. "
The public Is familiar with "Carmen" prin
cipally through HlzetV. opcrn of that name ,
and It Is Interesting to be able to chornlclc
the great success of the story In dramatic
form.
There are but few characters In the realm
of fiction that display ns much varied emo
tion and human pathcu a- ] this piquant gipsy.
Prom Its locale mounting iind costuming ,
"Carmen" admits of waim coloring , nnd II
la announced that from a scenic point of
view thl ? Is equal to any produc
tion now before the public. Heietofore , In
presenting the opera or i dramatic version
of this famous story , tlu bull fight , which
Is supposed to take place lu the last act , Is
merely referred to In thu dialogue. In this
Instance , however , the resources ol the ncUn-
tlflc world have been taxed aud the bull fight
la presented by the Eldoloacope. Every
phase of this exciting scene Is Known , from
the entrance of the bull tighten to the final
thrust and the death of the bull. A bargain
matinee will be given Saturday.
In the Magician Hancroft's unique enter
tainment Monday night at Doyd's theater ,
playgoers will hsvo the opportunity to see
all sorts of magnificent scenes , for this ma-
K'lclan la said to present n magical entertain
ment that Is an absolute novelty. He currlcfi
two car loads of spectacular scenery and ex
pensive paraphernalia , which when presented
with hla startling feats of wonder are prom
ised to form an Incessant panorama of mys
tery nnd beauty. H Is by bringing n per
formance of magic In thorough accord with
the tastes of the public and devising occult
feats that are different from any others ever
seen , that Bancroft has made his entertain
ments among the most popular now
before the public. Bancroft has Just
returned from India , and will In
troduce many novel Hindoo "miracles. "
His wit and fascinating manner as
an entertainer almost equal his skill as a
performer , and are said to maka his enter
tainment one of und'nvlnlcilied ' Interest
thioughout.
"A Divorce Cure , " the bright comedy
which Is now being p'esentcd by Emily
Bantker nnd her supporting company at the
Crclghton , will b ? the program for the two
performances today , a popular-priced matinee
being given at 2:30. : One of the chief chnrtno
of the play la the pleasing lack of Id'lotic
horse play characteristic of the average al
leged comedy , which , added to the fact that
the various characters are In the hands of
uniformly competent players , should add to
the other strong drawing powers of the pro
duction.
This Is the dnte of one of those popular
"bargain day" matinees at Boyd'a. "Human
Hearts" Is the attraction. Women and chil
dren will bo pleased with the acting of Baby
Smcdley. The last performance of Hal
Heed's excellent play will be given at 8:15 :

The engineers from Chicago who wcro em
ployed to Investigate the several Bites offcre
for the location of the Transmlsslsslppl Ex
position arc having a busy tlmo of It. Yes
terday morning they started for Miller par
at 10:30 : o'clock under the guidance of D
H. Chrlstlo and II. W. Richardson. The
drove to tha boulevard entrance on Twcntj
fourth street nnd then nllghted from th
carriage nnd walked over the entire ground
offered as a site. They surveyed the genera
situation , examined the character of the sol
and visited old Fort Omaha , where the
examined the grounds of tha abandoned
fort , and then drove to Florence , where they
visited the plant of the Omaha Water com
pany. The party remained In and abou
the water plant for about nn hour , the vis
Itors evincing great Interest In all the de
tails of the monster machinery. At 3:3 :
o'clock the party returned to the city am
the engineers ate n hurried lunch bcfor
proceeding to the Hnnscom park site.
Mr. Christie , who has been an enthusiast !
supporter of the Miller park site , said yes
terday that he felt very confident sine
the exploring expedition with the engineers
Ho said the experts had been shown every
thing ho could think of that had anything
to do with the use of tha proposed site , In
eluding the ditch which It Is proposed to
convert Into n. sewer , the railroad facilities
and the water supply. In the latter con
noctlon Mr. Chrlstlo said that the engines
of the water works , Captain Reynolds , ha <
told the engineering exparts that his com
pany would not undertake to supply wate
for Inkcs or In great quantities to any othe
site than Miller park , explaining that th
largo main In Thirtieth street , which Is sep
arate from the main system and which was
lormcrly used to supply the old fort , wouU
be used to supply water for the lakes ain
other purposes In Miller park , bu
that It would be necessary to
Increase the present water pressur
In order to do this , and that th
company could not undertake to lay an extra
main to exposition grounds In any other
location. Mr. Christie also stated that the
engineers , while they were especially cart
ful not to express any opinion regarding
the alto for exposition purposes , said they
wished they had ouch beautifully rolling
land In Chicago , as they could then make
beautiful parks without excessive expense
They also laid particular stress upon the
desirability of having some of the buildings
of the exposition located upon public
grounds , saying that the experience of Chicago
cage had demonstrated the desirability o
preserving some of the best buildings for
future use.
After the engineering experts had eaten
their lunch yesterday afternoon they were
taken In charge by W. J. Connell nnd H. H
Harder , representatives of the Hnnscon
park site , and were driven to the proposei
site. The party drove through Hanacon
park and the surrounding neighborhood am
then went west ono block to the main body
of land upon which It Is proposed to locate
the exposition. The entire ground was
driven over and the advantages of the lo
cation pointed out. The atmosphere wns na
clear as n bell and the party could sec
over almost the entire city. After the In
vestigation of this portlom of the ground
was completed the party drove north alone
the valley In which It Is proposed to make a
chain of lakes nnd locnto several of thi
buildings , with a view of having this portion
tion of the slto form n part of the perma
nent park sjstem. Returning by way or
Farnam street the party reached the Paxton
In about nn hour and a half after starting
on the trip.
Yesterday the engineers were taken In
hand by the committee appointed at the
meeting of the South Side Improvement
club Monday , and went to Rlvcrvlew parl
to examine the advantages , etc. , offered bj
that location.

The Irrepressible Charles M. Bachman Is
In jail again. He Is charged with forging
the name of J. H. Mlllard to a check for
$3,000 or over on the Commercial National
bank.
The arrest was brought about by Jeanette
Allen , a keeper of a disorderly house In the
burnt district. Bachman was in her place
with a number of companions some little
tlmo ago. She told the party that she owned
Eomo property In Des Molnes , which was en
cumbered , however , with a mortgage for
f3,000. She Intimated that she would be
nero than pleased to have this mortgage
paid. The woman alleges that Bachman
.hereupon stated that ho had all kinds of
money and would assist her. Among other
things he said that he had a deposit of $3.000
n the Commercial National bank , and this
sum he would loan her. A few days later he
returned and flashed the $3,000 check. H
was signed with the name of J. II. Mlllard ,
he president of the Omaha National bank ,
was upon the Commercial National bank nnd
was made payable to Rachman , The Allen
woman became suspicious of the transaction
and notified the detectives. Acting under
nstructions. flic made nn appointment with
Bachman at her house yesterday. The
, wo detectives were concealed In the room
when Bachman entered , He and the woman
engaged In conversation and the couple
nade arrangements to go to DCS Molnes on
an early train. Bachman explained that
here would be no dldlculty about the check ,
na Mlllard was a well known banker. Just
as Bachman pulled the check out of his
locket again the olllccrs pounced upon him
md placed him under arrest.
Bachman said the whole of the check part
of the transaction was a Joke. Ho stated
hat ho was drunk when suggested to the
voman that he would give her $3,000 nnd
that he felt Inclined afterward to carry the
natter further. Ho admitted that ho In-
ended to go to Dea Moines with the woman ,
mt only for a "good time. " Ho said that
10 never Iptended to pass the check. He
apparently made no effort to Imitate Prcsl-
lent Mlllard'a signature , as the signature
on the check Is entirely different from that
of tlio bank president. It IB believed by the
police that Bachman Intended to secure a
commission for the loan of the money rep
resented by thoi fraudulent check.
Bnclunan has been In varloiui scrapes dur-

"If this \\enlhcr keeps up there IB no
doubt that the prlceof _ < Ice In this city wilt
bo far higher next Summer than It was last
year , " tald an Ice denier to n Bco reporter
yesterday. "ThU Is the general opinion
of all the Icn men In th * city , " ho nddcd ,
The Ice crop Is very ehort this year , nnd
the dealers nrc not' very confident that It
will bo rcuch bigger. ' H there Is no pro
longed cold snap not : a pound of Ice will
be stored away In the houses when spring
opens up. This will compel the Ice dealers
to ship In Ice from outside points , and If
they must do this they say that the prlci
will bo undoubtedly higher than last year
Almost nil of the dealers have been doing i
little cutting on the ponds nnd lakes li
thla vicinity. Yesterday some Ice was cut
offering employment to 200 men. This Ice
however , was only six or seven Inches li
thickness and only enough wnw being ob
tnlned to supply the current demand , As i
matter of fact , no Ice Is being stored away
Tlio price of Ice Is way up for winter. II
Is selling'for from 30 to 50 cents per 10 (
pounds to private consumers , according tt
the quantity they buy. It wns from 20 It
25 per cent higher last summer. During the
coming sumii'cr the dealers say that It will
bo still higher If n. cold snap does not vlsll
this section of the country soon. Last yeai
there wns llttlo Ice and the dealers were
forced to obtain their surplus from outside
points. They say that they sold it at sucli
a figure that they came out nt the end ol
the ycnr about even. This year It they shli :
In Ice they will raise the prlco In order tc
make some profit. They admit that they
could manufacture Ice and sell It cheaper
than when they nro forced to ship In Ice ,
but on the other hand they allege that
manufactured Ice could not compete with
the natural product It there was a good crop ,
Therefore they eay that If they were to
put In plants and the Ice crop next winter
should be big they would bo losers on the
Investment. Therefore If an Ice plant la
put In It will bo run by others besides Ice
dealers.

Hugh Murphy , the local paving contractor ,
is loser as a consequence of the sitting of
the United States appellate court nt SI.
Louis Monday. By a decision of that
court he 'was ' knocked out of a $100,000 pav
ing contract in Denver.i. . . .
The casa was a suit In which Murphy at
tempted to enjoin the city of Denver from
awarding a paving contract to bidders whu
wore higher than himself , but who were
Denver people. These successful contractora
were named ns co-defendants. They wore
the Colorado Paving company and F. 0.
Blalco & Co. The suit wns commenced on
October 15 , 1893. Some tlmo before that
the city of Denver had advertised for bids
for paving two of Its streets with csphalt.
Ono was lower Fifteenth street and the
other Broadway north of Seven
teenth street. Among others Murphy was
a bidder and ho alleges that his bid was
fully $ lfi,000 lower than that of cither of
the successful bidders who have been named
as co-defendants In the suit. The amount
of the contract was In the neighborhood of
$100,000.
As soon as the contract was awarded to
the two firms Murphy began suit In the dis
trict court at Denver before Judge Halletl ,
asking for a mandamus , ordering that the
city bo compelled to award the contract to
him as the lowest bidder. It was a point
thnt had never been raised before In Colorado
rado , because It had been always held that
a bidder , not being , llko a property owner ,
a stockholder In the city corporate , had no
right to Interfere In Its business and main
tain an Injunction. Murphy got around this
point by alleging that there was collusion
and fraud between the successful bidders
and the city officers of Denver.
The case was heard In Denver and Murphy
won , Judge Hallett issuing the mandamus
as prayed for. The city then took the case
lo the appellate court , on the grounds of
non-Jurlsdtctlo'n on the part of the lower
court. This court , consisting of Judges San-
jorn , Caldwell and Thayer , reversed the de
cision of the lower court. Mr. Murphy does
not know what further steps will ho taken
n the litigation , as ho Is leaving the case
entirely In the hands of his attorneys In
3envpr. It Is not Hkely , however , that the
casa will bo dropped.
The suit has put a stop to nil paving
work In Denver since It was Instituted. No
vork of that character has been done In the
Mountain city for the past year and a half.

The announcement that the Board of
Education proposed to demand something llko
for school wns ro-
a 15-mlll levy purposes ,
elved with a good deal of astonishment by
ncmbcrs of the city council. It was well
inderstood that the board would ask for
omethlng In addition , to a C-mlll , such as
vas allowed last year , but that the figure
vould be tripled wns hardly anticipated.
That the demand is beyond the amount that
vlll be allowed Is certain. The members
of the council had practically decided that
t would bo necessary to give the board some
ddltlonal funds this year nnd several mem
bers had suggested 7 .mills , the amount
hat was asked a year ago. But the IC-mlll
proposition took their breath away , and now
: o one BCCIIIH to wants to sot a limit on the
eslres of the educational body.
As nearly as the sentiments of the councilmen -
men can be gathered at this time , the board
nay consider Itself extremely fortunate If
t obtains a levy of 7 mills. Ono member
ays the council docs not propose to turn
over ono-thlrd of tbo cntlro levy to the
loard of Education. ' The sentiment among
ouncllmcn Is that the 1897 levy should bo
cept down to the lowctt possible point. It It )
dmlttcd that some appropriation must bo
uade for the Judgment fund , which was
mlttcd altogether lost year. The demand ?
n the sinking fund must be met by a ma-
erlally Increased levy , and In their opinion
hero U no fund that can bo reduced from
ho figures of last year. The result Is a
occssarlly Increased levy oven If the levy
or school purposes Is not Increased. If the
mount asked for by the board was granted
t would mean n levy of nearly CO mills for
11 purposes , and any councilman who voted
or It would not consider himself In line
or ro-clectlon. Even If the school levy Is
lade 7 mills the levy will bo several mills
Ighcr than It hag been for several yearn.
According to tlio charter the nnnual levy
rdlnnnco muttt be Introduced at the last
leotlng In January , which occura two wecka
rom Uat night. From now on the nature of
ic levy will be before the council. A Bkolo-
on ordinance will probably bo Introduced
nd then the council will meet In Informal
etfilon during the following two weeka to
ecl.lo on the manner in which the blank
hal ) bo tilled out.

Stanley Claycomb , who was convicted of
robbing graves In 'Mount Hope cemetery ,
and who served n sentence hi the county
Jail In default of tlio payment of the flno
Indicted by Judge Ilalcor , has coinnlcnccd
suit against Sheriff McDonald and Jailer
George Sband for $5,000 for damages al
leged to bavo been sustained by punishment
Inflicted upon him whtlo bo was conduct ! In
the Jail.
The petition filed by Claycomb alleges that
ho was "strung up" by order of the Jailer
Juno 22 , 1S90 , and was suspended from the
bars of his cell by menus of handcuffs , with
his toes barely touching the floor , and was
left In that position for ten hours. Ho also
alleges that this treatment caused his wrists
and arms to become swollen , and that rter-
jnancnt Injury resulted to such an extent
that ho cannot pursue his rcguhir avocation
of a laborer , as his wrists and arms swell
with the least exertion and cause him great
pain. He nrlcs for $0,000 as a recompense for
his suffering , and to enable him to keep
his family.
Sheriff McDonald was out of the city when
the suit was filed , and his side of the story
could not be learned , but Jnllcr Bhand was
seen and asked for his version of Claycomb's
complaint. Mr. Shand stated that It had
been neecssary to Indict punishment upon
Claycomb on account of the unruly and
boisterous behavior of that Individual. Clay-
comb was confined In a largo cell 'with a
number of other prisoners , and the Jailer raid
ho would nerslst in ralslnc a disturbance
at nil hours of the night , elngltig and cursing
and keeping all of the prisoners awake. The
Jailer said Claycomb wae frequently warned
that he must stop these actions , but this
only seemed to make him moro noisy , and
It was finally decided to Inflict the pun-
Uhmcnt provided by the rules of the Jail
In such cas.es.
A pair of handcuffs .was attached to each
of Claycomb's wrists and hla arms wcro ex
tended to their full length In a horizontal
direction , with the hands about six Inches
above the height of the shoulders. The loose
portion of each handcuff was then fastened
to the bars of the cell , with Claycomb's feet
both resting squarely on the floor. He wns
left In this position from Just before mid
night until between 3 and 4 the same morn
ing. The treatment had the effect of quelling
Eomo of Mr. Claycomb's exuberance , but
the Jailer said ho never complained about
any subsequent effects of the punishment.
Claycomb remained In Jail until November
11 , following the date at which he says the
punishment was Inflicted , when ho was taken
to DCS Molnes to stand trial for the offonre
of disposing of the dead bodies which he
had rtolen from the cemetery In this county.
Ho was not convicted , and returned to
Omaha shortly afterwatd.

Two days of desertion were enough for
Henry C. Oaulmann , a United Statca soldier ,
win was turned over to the ofllcers of Fort
Crook Monday. During that timehe had
all , the freedom ho wanted and therefore
ho voluntarily turned himself over to the
police of this city last Saturday night.
Gaulmann wss a private In a company
stationed at Fort Russell. Last Thursday
ho went to Cheycnno to have a good time
and succeeded. By Friday afternoon he
could not carry a drop moro of liquor , and
then the Idea of deserting entered his head.
The prospect of returning to the discipline
of the garrison after his Jamborco was not
a pleasing one. As a consequence the soldier
Jumped upon a Union Pacific train. Ho took
hla seat on the Wind end of a baggage car.
Ho rode there all Friday night and Saturday
until hla presence was discovered by the
conductor when the train was within 100
miles of this city. Ho arrived In Omaha
late In the afternoon. As soon ns he alighted
from the train h aproachcd Depot Police
man Fleming and told him that ho was a
deserter. Ho also said that ho had had
plenty of It and was willing to go back to
hie warm garrison and his rations. Ho
reached this decision largely through the
fact that ho was minus warm clothes , had
not a cent and had had nothing to eat since
ho left Cheyenne.
Fleming accommodated the sorrowful sol
dier and turned him over to the local de
partment. Gaulmann was kept at the sta
tion until Monday , when ho was removed
to Fort CrooU.

WHAT HE SAID
He was a Washington County man He came to
Omaha with a few carloads of cattle , and incidentally td
buy a few things in the way of clothing for himself and
his boys. He clroppc'd in to The Nebraska , as he hag
been doing twice a year for the past five years , and after
checking his satchel and pulling a memorandum out o
his pocket he set to work to pick out such goods as ho
wanted and he took plenty of time about it , for he ia
known as a careful man and a shrewd buyer. When he
got to the end of his list and everything was ready to be
wrapped up , he held a conversation with the salesman ,
that went something like this : Are these your lowest
prices ? Yes. Same prices you always quoted on these
goods ? Just the same. They aren't any cheaper now
than they were in October or November or December ?
No. Well , Uiis is a pretty big bill and I think I'm en
titled to a discount for buying so much at this time of the
year and other stores are giving from 20 to 30 per cent
off the regular price. Can't help it , The Nebraska never
did run its business like other stores and our prices are too
low at all timca to stand anything off at any tme. : Then
you won't give me anything off on this binTF No , sir.
Not even 5 per cent ? No , sir. Well , you can keep
your goods ; I'm sorry to trouble you , but times are hard
this year and you can't blame people for doing better if
they can I'm goin' to look 'round. He came back and
this is what he said : "Dinged if you fellows don't beat
'em all. "
Made to your order.
They're worth nearly double but it's our method of
cleaning up several thousand yards surplus stock between
seasons. It don't pay to carry over this season's woolens.
We employ a small army of tailors , and we make thi $
tempting offer to keep them busy.
Our salesmen will be pleased to give you further details
and to show you the workmanship and trimmings on garments -
ments made up.
