On the "Doctoring"
of Clothes
HERE are lots of Clothe
shaped by the hot Flat-
iron instead ot ty per
manent hand-stitching.
Because the hot Pressing-Iron
is "the ready
Doctor" for all defects in
the Making: of Clothes.
With it the fulness in
an over -stretched Beam

may be temporarily shrunken out.
But such shrinking; or stretching;,
through heat and moisture, docs not
remove the defects they cover.
The Plat-iron merely dopes them
temporarily so the garment can be
"sold ota ft looks."
And, the first few days of damp
weather, on which that garment is worn,
the shrieking relaxes, and the stretching
contracts.
Then, the Coat reveals the Diseases
for whieh it was "doctored."
Shoulders get lumpy and sloping.
Collar "sets away" from the neck
or binds so tightly that it produces a
seeming hump on the back.
Lapel bulges out at one side.
Sleeves twist around or pinch un
der the arms.
Coat Front, wrinkles diagonally.
; .
How are you to know a Coat "doc
tored" by the Flat-iron before you buy it?
This is how you may know a "Sin
cerity Coat," free from these hidden
faults, in any Clothier's Store.
Observe the man in the picture! .
Note how he lays the Coat on the
table.
Now see the straight line of Collar,
where It turns ovet , and along its outer
edge.
That straight line is proof positive
that the Coat has been cut correctly and
hand-stitched into its final shape without
Flat-iron faking.
A "doctored" Coat will show a full
waw outer edare of collar, or a curving
line at tarn-over, when held in this
position. '
Andno matter how well the "doc
tored" oat may fit you when you first
put it on, there Is always a risk that the
first damp day's wear vnnaerornt it, ana
Caricature the Wearer.
It costs money to insure against every
defect Ip workmanship permanently witn
expert hand-needle-work instead of with
the trlckv Fiat-iron.
And that's just how we insure our
Sincerity Clothes. Cloth can't be worked
ud like metal, vou know.
It can't be stamped out, and made
into good Clothes by machinery, wnicn
gives rigid unuormuy.
No two Suits or Overcoats are ever
made precisely alike, though cut from
the same piece of cloth and off the same
get of patterns.
Defects ot some sort will creep into
almost ever? carment in the making.
. These defects can be "covered"
from sight, at the cost of a few cents,
bv Flat-iron faklne.
: And, that's how 80 per cent, of
them, art covered.
Or they can be permanently removed

Now, w don't claim to make' the
only good clothes In America.
But. we do turn out, we believe,
the most uniformly eood Clothes every

HE RECALLS INCIDENTALS MOST VIVIDLY
Pletures of Oldest Inhabitant aad
Grant Party on Orertand Refreshes
Mfmorr on "Blailnar War for '
v Civilisation."
No attentions In recent years shown Dr.
George L Miller, Omaha's pioneer physi
cian and veteran retired editor, have struck
more responsive chord than the receipt
the other day of two framed pictures and
copy of a doder announcing the opening
of the Union Fsclfic from Omaha to North
Platte, from Alfred Darlow, advertising
agent for the railway.
The largest picture is that of the "Oldest
Inhabitant Along the Union Taclflc Line."
It Is a representation of a giant buffalo
bull, and so well executed that Dr. Miller
declares Jie never before saw so well por
trayed the massive strength and detailed
physical characteristics of the bison, now
almost extinct, but so plentiful In the days
when his young manhood was helping to
make civilization out of the wilderness.
Larae Party of Notables.
The smaller print Is a reproduction of a
famous photograph containing a larger
number of distinguished men than usually
get before a camera at one time. It Is
well framed and makes an attractive souve
nir or keepsake. Said Dr. Millar:
'This picture was taken thirty-eight years
ago two miles and a half south of Laramie
station in' Wyoming on the Union Pacific
railroad. It shows General U. 8. Grant and
party at Fort Saunders and Is a vivid re
minder of the great men In war and peace
who had to do with the development of the
west and of the conquest of the rebellion
during the civil war.
In the order In which these men appear
In the picture General Grant stands near
the center, leaning forward with both
hands on a fence. At his right are General
Fhll Sheridan, the great cavalry com
mander; Sidney Dillon, long president of
the Union Pacific and one of Its promoters,
and General Grenville M. Dodge, who is still
with us. He was then chief engineer of
the Union Pacific, after emerging from the
war as, a major general of volunteers. To
the left of Grant are General William S.
Harney, the famous Indian fighter and the
hero of . Chepultepec; General William T.
Sherman, Major General John Gibbon, who
once commanded this department after the
war, and Brigadier General James C. Pot
ter, a distinguished quartermaster of the
old army.
Mmk Who Dalit the Road.
Standing next to Harney, in a low-
crowned straw hat, slender and a little
stooped in he shoulders, Is the man who
really built the Union Pacific and saved
the city of Omaha from being transferred
somewhere else by reason of the hot con
troversy that arose with respect to the
terminus and starting point of the great
railroad, after construction had begun

of the construction company that put the
road through. Masterful man he was.
"General Kauts appears in a modest way

Overland Mall Schednles. -
"I see in a note on the margin it says:
'In the '60s It took the overland mall twenty-three
days and twenty-one hours to
make the Journey from St. Louis to -San
Francisco. In the '60s the pony express
was nine days In making the trip from St.
Joseph to San Francisco.' "
"The overland mall referred to was the
stage mail carried by coaoh from Atchison
to California by the Halllday line, the best
and greatest thing of its kind the world
ever saw. I saw the first ponies of the
pony express, berlbboned and decorated.
tart from St. Joseph In the midst of great
ceremonies.
"Further along In the notes It says: 'To
day the Overland Limited runs between
Chicago and San Francisco In less than
three days. Millions have been recently
spent by the Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific lines in the Improvement of track
and equipment." This accounts for the ex
pedition of trains over half a continent.
Movable Terminus of Road.
"The picture suggests to my memory the
movable terminus of the Union Pacific from
the time the construction began near what
Is now the headquarters building. The other
terminus was known as End of Track,
which station was daily changing, so that
every time a- construction train made a trip
the schedule was different. On the first
J special excursion on the road that I re-

about nine miles from the town. It was to
do honor to General William T. Sherman.
who was a guest of our people, who re
ceived him with great enthusiasm as one
of the great heroes of war.
"The one form of hospitality accessible
of the townfnlk that seemed equal to the
occasion was an excursion to End of Track.
So a party of leading gentlemen got on a
dirt car with boards across nail kegs and
covered with buffalo robes for seats, and
with what was called champagne for the
sake of something to fill the baskets, moved
out to End of Track. Arriving at the
extreme' western terminus of the Union
Pacific railway, In a few minutes, the next
thing In order was speeches by the late
A. J. Poppleton and others. Then General
Sherman responded with an eloquent ' ad
dress. '
Sherman's Great Speech.
"I was then the editor of the Herald
and probably originated the trip. At any
rate I was there and I remember distinctly
that the speech was a great one. Not a
line 'of It was taken down or adequately
reported, and this fact Is to be regretted.
I recall that General Sherman told us that

He had gone so far with his plans as to
sink $5,000 In the enterprise. Now he stood
In the presence of an actual attempt to
span the continent. He said:
" 'Gentlemen, you are much younger than
I am and some of you. I hone all of you,

with the Iron rail, but for myself I cannot
hope: to live to see the day.' '
-"'Curiously enough, only several t years
lateT, Ot-neral Sherman visited this place
again and rode over the completed railroad
In a Pullman car from Omaha to San
Francisco, at an average speed of thirty
miles an hour. This Is one of the most
salient examples of the rapidity of develop
ment and progress that I know. It re
calls the rapidity with which these extra
ordinary men laid the track by ouch a
systems tlo division of labor, that .they
were able to build from three to five and
even more miles of track a day. Two ot
the ( most remarkable construction men
were Jack and Dan Casement of Ohio.
Some days they put down six miles of
grade, ties and Iron. (
- Marrelons Chances Wrought.
. "I cannot help but dwell on the mar
velous changes which have developed with
the aid and assistance of the great Union
Pacific railway. It has been a magnet
that centered all Interests la a wide band
of territory along its right-of-way and In
Omaha.
"Among the men who are to be hon
ored In this connection are the late Gen
eral Samuel R. Curtis, who was chairman
of the committee on railroads In the house
of representatives which passed the bill
and granted the charter under which the
road was built; T. C. Durant, Oliver Ames
of Boston, the first president of the road;
General Grenville M. Dodge; Samuel B.
Reed, whose name appears on the dodger
as general superintendent, and Webster
Snyder, the great locating engineer of the
road, now no more.
. No Coast Line There.
"You wlH note that the dodger calls at
tention to the fact that the new Union
Pacific Is the shortest and quickest route
between the mountains and the .east, and
'nearer to Denver and Salt Lake than any
other line.' Nothing is said about the
coast. The line was opened only as far
west as North Platte, a distance of 800
miles. The cut showing an old-fashioned
locomotive, not one-fourth as large ns
those In use today, and a train of crs, are
most Interesting. As a contrast with mod
ern equipment the picture Is Invaluable. -
"It Is almost needless for me to say that
these souvenirs are among the most prised
of. my possessions and will be treasured
by me as long as I live. I was so closely
Identified with these earlier scenes and
episodes that the old photograph and the
dodger seem almost like pieces out of my
life."

GOLDEN AWARDS TO NEBRASKA
Hundreds ot Medals, Majority of Gold,
Given to Antelope State at
Portland.
PORTLAND. Ore., Oct 21.-Speclal.-Durlng
the last week the Nebraska State
commission received notifications from the
superior Jury of awards at the Lewis and
Clark exposition- of the prizes won In the
various classes In which entries were made.
One hundred and twenty-nve entries were
made, of which 122 won a gold, sliver c
bronze medal or honorable mention. More
entries were made of corn by the state of
Nebraska than of any smaller grain,
grasses or forage crops. It was the plan
of the commission to emphasize corn more
than any one thing, owing to the fact that
the appropriation for the exhibit was lim
ited and an extensive display of products
was Impossible. The medals awarded by
the superior Jury of awards were as fol
lows: Gold to
Silver 23
bronze 17
Honorable mention 10
The high clui of Nebraska's entjrlos will
be seen from this list, when It Is under
stood that the gold medal was the highest
award given to any exhibitor, state or In
dividual, and Nebraska took more gold
medals than all of Ha other awards to
gether. The commission Is busy sending notices
to Individual exhibitors of the prists which
they have won, and they will be Informed
of the time of their receiving diplomas at
the earliest moment the exposition ofnctals
notify the commission.
PRIVATE CAR LINE BEARING
Attontj for Armours Intltti that Compnj
it t Prints Concern.
PROTESTS AGAINST LANGUAGE USED
Takes Exceptions to Form of State
ment Made by Commissioner
Pronty In Heferrlnac to
Present Conditions.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. The Interstate
Commerce commission waa unable to con
clude Us hearing of the private car line
caso today, although it was announced
that the list of witnesses had been ex
hausted. Counsel for the Armour car lines
endeavored to get an order closing the
cases in which hearings have been had,
but Chairman Knapp said the commission
might require additional testimony. All
of the cases were postponed, therefore, until
November 1, the date fixed for the hear
ings In the ca'scs of the transcontinental
lines named In Uie proceedings. The at
torneys for the Armour lines state they
wouid not put on any witnesses for the
defense, but they tendered the services of
the president of their lines if the commis
sion cared to interrogate him.
Armonr Contract with Southern.
Lincoln Green of the Southern railway
resumed the stand at the hearing today.
He testified that his contract with the
Armour car lines for refrigeration pre
scribes that the charges must be reason
able and no higher than charges for like
service on other lines.
"In my opinion," he said, "the present
rates are lower than coujd be made by the
carriers themselves. We have had no com
plaints from shippers."
It was brought out that the Armour car
lines are able to handle the business
economically for the reason that they have
It all and are able to prepare for It.
Commissioner Clements asked Mr. Green
If he did not think the shipper would re
ceive some ot the benefits from this eco
nomical service.
Attorney Northrup,- for the southern rail
way, objected to the witness answering,
on the ground that the question was not
one of "railroad operation,", but purely
legal.
While discussing this from a legal point
of view Attorney Relchman said the selfish
ness of the Armour car line would induce
It to maintain a reasonable rate. Mr.
Northrup added that the Southern railway
Insists also upon reasonable rates.
Commissioner Prouty Interrupted to say:
"Then It Is the selfishness of the Armour
line and by grace of the Southern railway
on which the shipper depends."
Attorney Makes Plea.
Protesting that the commissioner had
stated the matter In an ungracious manner
and unfairly, Mr. Northrup declared that
"intelligence and business Interests had
built up the refrigeration business; that
It was not a matter of 'grace'."
Attorney Relchman In an extended ar
gument to the commission said It Is to be
presumed that a concern like the Armour
car lines, Is doing business for the pur
pose of making a profit and has "horse
senso" enough to make rates that would
foster the business. He said that the
private car. lines and the railroads are dis
tinct corporations and are not associated
together for the spoliation of the shipper.
"Now," said Mr. Relchman. "I want to
say that we come before this tribunal as
a private enterprise and we deny that we
have made unreasonable charges, but out
side of that,- we again say that we are
a private business Institution. We went
into that country as pioneers. Invested our
money, and as It paid a profit put it back
to develop the business. We took all the
risks, and now that the enterprise Is more
or less successful we are entitled to be
treated fairly."
On redirect examination Mr. Green aaid
that the rate on Ice, If used for the re
frigeration of fruits, was reduced In 1904
from 31.05 to 60 cents on a ton, and he
admitted to Attorney Barry, for the com
mission, that under the exclusive contract
the Armour car line was the only con
cern that could get the benefit of this rate.
F. V. Hazlehurst of Macon, Ga., testified
that there Is no profit in raising peaches
and marketing them under the present
transportation charges. He said shippers
think the "total rate" of transportation Is
unreasonable and the cost of refrigeration
could be reduced. The witness estimated
that It costs 3270 to send a car of peaches
from Georgia to New York, or about 45
cents a crate.
FIGHT FOR TELEPHONE LINE
Mlssonrl Men Are BtroKKlina; for
Franchise for Independent Com
pany at Detroit.
DETROIT. Oct. 21. Through a bill of
complaint filed today in the United States
circuit court, it was disclosed that two
groups of St. Louis financiers are fighting
for the possession of the local Co-Operatlve
Telephone company, the only Independent
system In the city at present, and the
privilege of developing the Independent
telephone field of Detroit, which will go
with the franchise.
One group of capitalists, said to be con
nected with the Missouri-Lincoln Trust
company, is represented by Max Koehler
of St. Louis, and the other group, said to
be affiliated with the Commonwealth Trust
company of St. Louis, Is represented by
Attorney Charles H. Thatcher of Toledo.
Attorney Thatcher, In his bill of com
plaint filed today, declares that the officers
of the Co-Operatlve Telephone company
contracted last May to sell the co-operative
company to the group of capitalists he
represents and that since the appearance

Hearing Restored
A prominent Omaha
man tells his experience
with Dr. Rranamun's
new treatment for deaf
ness. His story is purely
remarkable ami pleasing
to listen to when com
ing from this prominent
citizen, who speaks from
actual experience. When
visited by a reporter hn
tells the following story:
I "I have been troubled
more or less with ca
tarrh of the nose and
throat for years. Fi
nally my nose and throat
became dry, and I con
tracted cold with every
change In the weather.
Kor a few days my hear
ing would be bad; after
my cold broke my ears
would open and the hear
Ing be perfect, but I had
continuous nolRes In my
head, which warned me
of approaching deafness.
I tried everything I could
hear of from good physi
cians, but without anv
roller. Finally, I look a
severe cold and the ears
closed entirely, and I
BECAME STONE DEAF
one ear was entirely
deaf and could hear but
little out of the other.
The noises In niv head I
thought would drive me
wild, especially at nlirht.
'Mi
when they were so bad I
could not sleep. Any
change in the weather
anected my hearing and
increased the noises. I
saw Dr. Bransman's an
nouncement of so many
wno had been cured. I
visited his office and he
promised a cure. After
a short course of treat
ment MY EARS
OPENED Rl'DDEI.T,
THE NOISES ALL
stopped and my hear
ing was perfect, and has
remained ho. I can now
henr no rood ns I ever
did. THE TTCK OF A
WATCH SOUNDS
LOUDER than an ordi
nary human voice did be
fore. The doctor's new
treatment penetrates the
enr, reaches the seat of
the disease, and heals It:
relieves ell catarrhal
trouble and restores the
membranes In the nose
and throat to natural
conditions. For his
son I AM SURE A PFR
MAVFNT CURE HAS
BEEN EFFECTED In
mv case, and T advise nil
who are suffering with
head noises and deafness
to visit Dr. Branaman, es
I am sure h can cure
any case of deafness, as
no one could have been
verv much worse than
myself."
