AND SUCH BARQAINS Their equal lias never been known in Omaha
and may never again be repeated. Just imagine everything in our store is of
fered at discounts ranging up to 50 per cent. '
We are determined to make a clean sweep of our entire stock before mov
ing into our new store everything you can possibly need in housefurnishings
are to be had here to force the selling we are offering even-thing in our store
at an immense discount.
Furthermore, offering a discount enables you to see exactly what reduc
tions have been made.
The discounts are taken off our regular prices which we guarantee to bo
absolutely the lowest in Omaha.
All goods are marked in plain figures and the discount is deducted at tha
time of the purchase.
These discounts you must bear in mind will remain in effect during the
life of the sale.
Those who neglect to buy everything they need now or are likely to need
in the near future are missing a great saving opportunity.

IMfiSF, Stewart
(From a Staff Correspondent )
LIXCOlN, Aug. . Special.) Secretary
Bennett has about concluded, with the as
sistance of Henry Seymour and Edward
Lawrence of the auditor's office, adding
up the various Items of assessment. Tne
totals show a decrease In the value of
unimproved lota and an increase in lands
and Improved lots. Thla Increase Is due
to the Improvements put on the lands.
Bicycles have decreased over 2,000 In
number and almost doubled In value, while
the average value of carriages and wagon
hae increased only 3 cents, the value being
14 77 this year. Bicycles are valued at an
average of $10.19. but It Is supposed most
of the automobiles are counted In with
the bicycles.

Brown nnd Prohibition.
"The people of Nebraska will have to
fight over the prohibition question a,jaln
this fall," said a Lincoln politician this
afternoon, "and the fight can be traced
back to Norris Brown's ambition to be
United States senator at any cost. Whether
Brown himself is a believer ln prohibition

124.475 acres.

Spring wheat suffers a decrease of 56,067

an acreage of 26.714.
A slight Increase Is shown In the oats
acreage. In 1905 it had an acreage of
2,120.624, this year It has 2.442,768 acres, or
an increase of 22.144 acres. Cedar county

Platte Water Works company, whose plant
the city has voted bonds to either pur
chase or build a new water works system
for the city. The mayor objected to the
appraisers agreeing to the third appraiser
being a party who would agree to g:ve
the plant in this city a going value. The
correspondence which the mayor put on
the records if the council lust evening con
tained a letter Just received from Mr.
Hoffmelster to thn effect that the water
wouka company would agree tliat the third
appraiser should be agreed upon by the
other two appraisers, witu the understand
ing that the appraisement should be made
without allowing a going value tu the
water works pi, nit.
WATCHES- rcnicr, 15th and Dodg eta J
If the nnner Is mil'llshed weekly, then
weekly publlca'l 'ns.wlll be sufficient." From
analogy, therefore, we conclude that If the
publication of the constitutional notice Is
begun in a dally It should be continued In
such dally each Issue thereof during the
three months next preceding the general
election: If published In a triweekly, that
It should be published triweekly In such
paper for the three months, and If pub
lished In a weekly, then weekly during
snld period, nnd that It would be unsafe to
charge from one issue to another.
As to the legality of the first publication
ln a newspaper supplement, Webster defines
a supplement as "that which supplies a
deflcit-ncy; that which fills up, completes,
or makes an addition to something already
onranlzed. arranged, or set apart: a P'irt
added to, or a continuation of." This
definition was approved by the circuit court
of Ohio In the case of State against Board
of Commissioners, 16 Ohio, circuit court 218.
The Standard dictionary defines a supple
ment as "something added that supplies a
deficiency, especially an addition to a pub
lication. In a newspaper It Is often a
separata sheet; In a literary or encyclo
paedic work some times an entire volume."
A supplement to a dally newspaper,
therefore. Is a legal part of surh dally
paper: a supplement to a weeklv is a legal
part of surh weekly paper, and a supple
ment to a trlweeklv newspaper la a legal
part of such triweekly paper, and a publica
tion within the required period of a consti
tutional amendment election notice In such
supplement or supplements would, in the
opinion of this department, be a legal
publication of such notice and a compliance
with the constitutional provision above re.
ferrd to. Notice, knowledge, or publicity
Is the end sought for tn such cases, and
rubllcntlon In a supplement to a newspaper,
being a part of such paoer, accomplishes
this purpose ns practically and effectually
as publication ln the regular Issue of such
paper.

spinal cord seriously and to be lodged
Just within. The picture shows that the
spinal column was splintered, the splinters
of bone being quite clearly seen. An op
eration was undertaken, but the location
of the bullet was such that it would be
dangerous to remove It. Several small
pieces of bone and a scale of the bullet
were removed and the entire wound
cleansed. Paralysis will no donbt be perm
anent.
No complaint has yet been filed against
Hamlin, who Is being held until further de
velopments In the case. Hamlin has not
asked for an attorney as yet, and does not
seemdeslrous of having any. In an Inter
view he stated that neither Miss Rachel
Engel or her stepfather had ever done any
thing to cause him to have enmity toward
her. He realizes that he Is In a dilemma
and protests that he never said he wished
that the bullet which struck Miss Engel
would have struck Smith. When he made
the remark, ho states, he meant he wished
It would have struck him (Ham'ln).
