Just think of buying any shoe In the house , Including all our own makes of ladles' shoes , for $2.50 a pair. Shoes that never sell for less than $5.00 and lots of them at $0.00 and $7.00 , You can't expect us to make any better price than that. No one expects It. To make such prices and live right otralghl up to them Is enough. H satlfifics everybody. You and us. As for us , wo don't care. Price IB no ob ject. The shoes must go quickly. Wo arc getting out of the retail business In great shape , even If we are not making anything at It. SHOES FOR 4EC.

Yesterday was a banner day at the stock yards , the 'lecelpts ' being larger lhan , for any day since July , 1894 , when caltle were rushed to market by the hundreds on account of the drouth. The receipts yesterday were : " Cattle , 5,000 head ; hogs , 15,000 head ; sheep , 3,000 ; cars , 401. It was the second best day In the history of the. slock yards , not countIng - Ing the unusual receipts In July during the droulh. The best day for natural receipts was In May , 1892 , when 420 cars of live utock were received. The cattle pens were well filled , but the large supply In no way taxed the capacity or the yards. In hoga , the supply was away above expectations , train after train rolled in and unloaded hogs until 15,000 head had been gl\cu shelter under the sheds. Part of the liberal supply of sheep was confined to killers direct. The packers want mutton grades at steady prices and the market was very good , with about everything disposed of. Besides the slock lhat arrived via railroads eighty wagons containing hogs drove Into the yards from the country and discharged their loads. The largo number of feeders In with their own stock la a pretly sure sign lhat the rush of form work Is temporarily over. The cattle which were on Ihe markel came from Nebraska , Iowa , Idaho , Wyoming , Soulh Dakota , Colorado and Kansas. Hogs were received from Nebraska , Iowa , Kansas and Missouri ; while the sheep were shipped from Nebraska , Kausas , Missouri , Colorado and Wyoming. For some time past the business at the stock yards has been Improving. Last -week the average receipts were 222 cars dally , bul thla week promises to eclipse the best week in the history of the yards. In this connection might bo mentioned the fact that another cattle loan company Is about to bo organized here. It Is under stood that the ofllcers and directors of the South Omaha National bank are behind the scheme. Last year a' cattle loan company was formed with eastern capital , with head quarters at the Union Stock Yards National bank. Ever since Its books were opened this company has done a rushing bunl- ne > 6. To the mind of the moneyed man there Is no belter security than calllo paper. The loan * ) are generally for shorl time , thirly , slxly and ninely days , and al any time within this period the holder of the paper can market the slock and como out oven , Bank- cia here report that eastern capitalists aie anxious to make loans on catlle paper , lhat fact being thu reason for the organisation of another loan company at this point. With money plenty at this market the live stock business is sure to forge rapidly ahead , The gicat drawback the Nebraska stockman has had to contend with tlnco Die droulh , has been the dllllculty In obtaining money with which to buy feeders. With another loin company In the Held there will naturally be some competition for the business and every responsible farmer desiring lo purchasl a bunch of feeders can bo accommodated at South Omaha. Ottldals of the stock yards company pre dict that this will bo the most prosperous year In the history of the yards. With Ne braska full of cattle and hogs again there will bo no danger of hard times as long aa the crops are bounteous. Suit for l ntfiil Messrs , Graves and Adams of Chicago are In the city taking depositions In a patent Infringement caso. Some time ago W , A. Scuri-l and Dee Mills , both connected with the Hammond Packing company , perfected anil patented a refrigerator box for shipping meat * . Nelft Morrln , the big Chicago packer , heard of the box Invented by the South Omaha men and sent a written request for a couple of boxes to be tried. The as- Hurance was given , ea it U understood , fhat If the boxen proved satisfactory an order for a largo number would be given. The boxes were sent , but Schrel and Mills never obtained any benefit , as they did not receive un order for the refrigerators from the big packer. It waj , found upon Investigation that Morris bud his carpenters construct a largo number of the boxes from * the models sent for Inspection , thus Infringing on the patent of the South Omaha men. Suit was brought for a largo amount by Messrs. Schri-l ami Mills , and the case la soon to como up for hearing. These interested in the outcome assert that there Is no doubt but that the tnventr.is run prove that the boxe * Ufod by Morris arc Infringements on the patent Oi Schrel and Mills.

'i ' Dee , May 26 , 1M7 , Truthful Always Satisfactory Atoays Safe , _ The Linen Crash Suit that you sec in our window marked two dollars is not a boy's suit as the price would lead you to suppose. We have them in all sizes regular for regular built men and according to the way some stores figure they are worth three dollars and a half. They arc made from hand wove linen thoroughly bleached and shrunk and the man who made 'em up for The Nebraska doesn't care to make up another lot for the same price. When we come to think of it he can't have made such an enormous profit on the transaction after all. The coat \ and vest have patch pockets and hand finished but ton holes and the pants are fitted with regulation belt loops with suspender buttons inside the band. The same suit fitted with pearl buttons on the coat and vest is $2. 50 and we take as much pleasure in selling cither of these suits at these prices as you will in paying these prices for cither of these suits. r THE GREAT STONE OF SARDIS A NEW NOVEL By FRANK R.
