- - 1
The dust incident to the tearing down of walls affects White
Goods but little but we must clenr out the space occupied by the
Reserve Stock and by the way backward season left on hand
large reserves we will divide Stock into lots to make Simplicity
in Selling
Lot 1 Imported from St. Gall. Fine Swisses, which sold from
50c to $1.00, will close out at, from 75c to'39c
Lot 2 An immense assortment of this season's popular weaves
light and heavy. Sold formerly at 50c, Thursday, at 25c
Lot 3 Mixed, plains and fancies, sold previously up to 35c, on
Thursday will sell, at 19c
Lot 4 A large assortment which sold before up to 19 cents, will
be offered at, yard 9c
So much of our space will be taken up in this portion of our
store, when alterations start, that we will have very limited space
for linens so we will cut damasks, napkins, and indeed every
thing in the stock so as to crowd into 10 days, the ordinary two
months' business, '
1
Our entire stock of Table Damask 72-inches wide, pure Irish linen,
sold usually at $1.25 and $1.35, will go at $1.00
Itest of the damask in proportion.
An accumulation of half dozens of odd Napkins, just about
a off Towels, Crashes, and Bedspreads must also bo sold to
make room for the mechanics.
Dust does not hurt China but the contractors have to com
mence operations in the very room where all the reserve stock is
stored. The only convenient thing for us to do is to turn the China
into cash. The care of the cash will be easy. Here's the way we
propose doing it. Judge ye :
Fine Imara Bowls, Plates, Jap Teacups, fine German Plates
Saucedishes, Haviland Plates, etc., etc., sold formerly up to
45 cents, all the reserve stock will be offered, at, each 19c
Haviland Dinner Plates, D. & C. China Cups and Saucers, Imara

going so rings the orders. There will be a clean sweep of all our
High Grade Suits, man-tailored, 1909 styles:
Suits which sold up to $45.00, will be thrown out at . . . .$14.75

We mean this sale to break all records for Mid-Summer Sales.
Come Thursday morning, and don't miss a day while this sale

The estate ot Scweli Sleuman must pay
the efetaie of Eva Hart t3,021.92, according
to a decision by County Judge Lealie. The
award ia entirely for the destruction of
property and nothing ia allowed for tha
death of Eva Hart.
iieuinan killed the girl the night of
October 17, last year, and demolished
the furniture in the house, alashlng
rugs, pictures and the girl's wearing
apparel. Her diamonds which he also had
given her were torn from their settings
and mysteriously done away with.
Suit was brought by Edward E. Burns,
representing tha Harts against George
Sleuman, executor of hla brother's estate.
The sum of t,000 was asked for the
death itself and H.279.85 for apparel and
furniture destroyed.
Judge Leslie held that the damage in the
death of the girl was abated by the death
of Sleuman himself. On furniture he al
lowed 144.42, 10 per cent less than was
asked, and on wearing apparel 11.212 50,
which is Just half what was prayed for.
The diamonds were estimated by the peti
tioners at 11.365 and the court held there
was no depreciation here, though he
thought there was in the case of the fur
niture and wearing apparel.
"The evidence shows," said the court In
discussing his decision, "that Sleuman had
given these things outright to the girl and
the transfer waa actually made. Had
there been Just a promise to give them,
there could be no recovery on account of
the admitted illicit relations."

The Omaha Transfer company la likely
to become unpopular with Its competitors.
Not because It has been using unfair meth

Then It learned that the others were turn
