Friday Is Dinnerware Day
' 25 BIG TABLES LOADED WITH IT, ALL AT PRICES
THAT KNOW no PRECEDENT in OMAHA RETAILING
Never in the history of the entire West, in fact, has a sale of such magnitude been held, never have
prices on high grade China been so sensationally low. -
The Dcs Moines Department store opened for business last October and carried high quality goods
only. Every dollar's worth of merchandise was new, up-to-date and highly desirable.
The Harris-Emei'y Co., of Des Moines, were the original purchasers of the entire stocks of the failed
concern. On account of the fact that they do not handle this class of goods they sold to The Bennett
Company all the china, cut glass, crockery, lamps, etc., at the remarkably low figure of 40c on the dollar.
The immensity of this stock over four car loads makes it utterly impossible to put the whole lot on
sale at one time. .
On Friday All the Dinnerware From the
Dos Moines Department Store Goes on Sale
Think of the.great bargain possibilities such a purchase brings to you and our word for it we intend
to give you bargains thaj; will live long in your memory.
Come out Friday with expectations tuned to the highest pitch and you'll not be disappointed.

HEARING OX GRAIV COMPLAINT
Wood River Man Allesjea He Waa Dis
criminated Aaralnst.
GRAND ISLAND, March 26. (Special.)
Examiner Frank Lyons for the Interstate
Commerce commission held a hearing here
yesterday In the case of the Wood River
Grain company, Samuel McMurray, presi
dent, against the Union Pacific, complaint
being made that McMurray waa discrimi
nated against in the inat'er of being pro
vided with cars to such an extent that it
practically put him out of business for two
months of the busy season of 1906. Mr.
McMurray alleged In his statement thai he
could have done one-fifth of the grain
business at Wood River hqd he been fur
nished the cars, whereas he did no more
than one-tenth and had frequently to re
fuse deliveries of grain from farmers, send
ing the same over to the other buyers, the
Conrad. Omaha or Ord elevators. Agent
Root at Wood River, he declared, een
sent out a car empty on one occasion rather
than let him have It. His orders for-cars
were at other times "forgxtten" or there
were other excuses.
The company, represented at the hearing
by- Mr. DUIer of Chicago and Traveling
Freight Agent Lowe, made an effort to
ahow that the company gave In the busy
time Involved as many cars to McMurray
as the business of the past showed him
entitled to and declared that where there
waa any dispute as to who was entitled to
the car It would be given to the elevator
people because they could load It mqre
qulckty and get It going toward the des
tinatlon. McMurtay has a warehouse at
Wood River, but not an elevator, and It
requlrea a longer time to load a car, but
the evidence did not show that he ever
used the full ' time allowed forty-eight
hours. It was alleged that McMurray had
been offered a site for an elevator, but
the latter stated that It was outside the
village limits where he would have been
at a great disadvantage over the other
elevators. W. H. Thompson of this city
represented the complulnant. The commls
slon. It la. expected, will make further In
vestigation than that at thla hearing.

firemen were called to the southwest part
of town near Mrs. William Dyer's resi
dence, where the wind had uncovered some
fire In a trash pile which had been burning
the dav before an dwaa supposed to be
out. The fire waa blown Into aome grass
and waa making rapid' strides for Mrs.
Dyer's buildings. The fire was extinguished
without serious damage being done.
