LOBBYISTS FAIL TO FILE
Only Nine Out of Ninety-Two Put
Expense Accounts on Kecord.
TIME ALLOWED HAS EXPIRED
Anti-Lobby Law Provides a Penalty

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, June 4. Out of ninety-two
persons who leglstered In the lobbyist book
of the secretary of state tn order to ap
pear before legislative committees tn the
Interest of legislation, only nine persons or
corporations have filed expense accounts as
required by the anti-lobby law.
The law provMes that an itemized ex
pense account shall be filed with the acre
taty of state within two months after the
legislature adjourned. The legislature ad
journed officially April 1, which would re
quire the expense accounts to be filed by
June ), but as the legislature held over
four days after the official adojurnment
there was a doubt at the state house
whether It would have been a compliance
with the law had the remainder of the
expense accounts been filed by June 4. If
a corporation falls to file its expense ac
count within two months, In addition to
the other penalties provided for a violation
of the anti-lobby law, it Is assessed SIM for

what it
This store makes no claim to the title of "Bargain Store" as the term is generally understood,
nor do we conduct it in the manner common to "Bargain Stores." We do not claim to give some
thing for nothing but we do claim to sell reliable trustworthy merchandise at lower prices than
are possible with any store, not organized as we are and wc back up every claim with a "money
back if you want it" proposition.
Why You Should' See Our Suits
For Men and Young Men
To toll you -we have the greatest line of suits in the west,
and that We want to sell you one would be true enough, but
it wouldn't be any particular reason for your coming here.
To tell you we had the greatest store in town would be to
tell you what you probably know and might not interest
you.
To tell you we have the greatest line of suits in the west,
and that we will sell you one and at any price we quote
guarantee a substantial saving and that you can have "your
money back if you want it." ought to interest you.
It ought to convince you that while we covet your trade
we do not askyou to assume any risk when you call at our
store to have us demonstrate our claims.
Our Prices Start at $10
at which price we can offer you a suit that will be highly
satisfactory to you and highly creditable to us from $10
our prices range gently upwards.
$11, $12 $13, $15, $17, $19, $20
are prices that insure you a decided improvement in the
quality and appearance of your suit as compared with what
you'll find about town.
$23, $25, $27, $30, $35
are prices that represent a degree of exclusiveness and all
round excellence never before attempted by a western store.
Even the most exclusive tailor couldn't improve on them.

No Graft T'ncovered.
The experts ecployed by the county com
missioners to check over the office of
county clerk and the two city justices of
the peace have filed their report with that
body.
Outside of th ascertainment of the exact
amount of excess salaries drawn by the
clerks which they disbursed. In whole or
In part, for extra help, the accountants
found little to criticise. The Investigation
covered eight years of the office, and it
was undertaken, said the commissioners,
at the time It was ordered, to find out
what the conditions of the office were.
The fact, however, that the experts lay
special emphasis upon the practice of
clerks in drawing sums in excess of their
salaries on warrants payable to them
selves Is taken to mean that one 'reason
for the Investigation was to lay a basis
for suits that are contemplated to recover
a portion of the excess.

LAWYER TO SHARE ALIMONY
Falls City Attorney Fllea Peculiar
Salt Against Divorced
Client.
BEATRICE. Neb., June 4 (Special.)
A rather unusual suit was begun yester
day in the district court when James E.
Leyda, a Falls City attorney, started pro
ceedings' against Luclnda Smith, who is
at present a resident of Beatrice. Leyda
alleges In his petition that in April, 1908,
he was employed by the defendant In a
Richardson county suit for divorce against
John R. Smith. He sets forth that thoy
entered Into an agreement whereby he was
to receive 15 per cent of the alimony al
lowed her by the court as fee for his work.
A further stipulation of the alleged agree
ment was that he should receive the same
amount as his fee In case the parties to
the suit compromised and settled the ali
mony Issue out of court. Plaintiff states
that defendant's husband was worth tJ6,
000, and when he offered to compromise by
paying his wife 15,000, she dismissed the
action. In May, 1909, she employed other
counsel, filed another suit and secured a
decree of divorce, receiving aa alimony
the sum of 15.000. Plaintiff avers that the
defendant's object in dismissing her first
action and beginning the second was to
avoid paying him the amount agreed upon
for his services. He prays Judgment
against her In the sum of 1760, 15 per cent
of the amount allowed her as alimony.
