Most Welcome Gift
for Any Mans Christmas is
a New Overcoat or a Suit
And we've the very garment he'd select for himself, so why not insurt his being
pleased by getting him a stylish up-tp-date Suit or Coat that will be a credit to both
ofyouT
It's so easy to please any man when you select from such an immense variety as ours
that you are taking no chance whatever.
Of course we'll gladly assist you in chooBing a suitable style, shade and pattern, and
exchange it should the recipient prefer something different. Seems to us, too, that a long
talk about the quality and the many other requisites of "The Best Clothes" is hardly nec
essary, since it's such a well known fact that "Nebraska" garments are absolutely the
best that can be produced at their prices."
There is such a striking difference in favor of our garments, as compared with those
about town at the same price that you'll wonder at it on sight. You save $2.00 to $5.00
on our Suits and Overcoats "at

YOUR BOYS' CHRISTMAS GIFT
Don't you think that instead of a miscellaneous lot of toys, etc., which are quickly
broken or forgotten, your boy would be made happier by such a gift as a new Suit or
Overcoat t
We're quite sure he would if it should be a "Nebraska" garment, for there's none
so likely to please the most "finicky" boy as those in our Boys' department.
They're the kind parents like, too, for they can be depended on to give the greatest
amount of wear and still keep their handsome appearance. And most important of all,
they're priced far below wh-t other stores ask.

Mr. Emerson boarded the car In South

Eligibility fit Signers of Petition.
Proved and Good for More
Than One Petition.
Persona who have signed ths applications
for saloon licenses in the Third ward are
required to show that they are residents
and free holders of the Inlrd ward, owing
to the- remonstrance . of the temperance
workers who are contesting the appl.ca
Uens. However, after having ones estab
lished their eligibility to s'gn one petition,
the name is accepted on all other petitions
that the person has signed.
Ths first meeting of the Board of Firs
and Police commissioners, as an excise
board, . to consider application for saloon
licenses, for the year of 1910, was held
Thursday night.' The meeting opened w th
a rouUne examination of the signers In
the Th.u-4 ward to establish their eligibility
to afx-their algnaturs to petitions. Ths
application ef Jud Crse for a license tu
sell liquor at 2lt South Fifteenth was first
up. The list of resident free holders of
the Third ward Is so small that the sig
nature qf practically every one Is required
to make the .nevessary number of th r y
names , required . to be on esch petition.
Ths eligible freeholders un the Jud Cies
petition will be accepted on all others ot
this ward. Some of the signers failed to
be present and will be examined Monday
night.
Elmer E. Thomas represented the re
monstrators and conducted ths cross
examinations. In svery case where an ap
plication waa oonsldered he established a
general . objection on the efficiency of the
bond, the character and reputation of the
applicant la his respective community and
that ths licenses should net be granted
until the nd of the year. He made the
later objection as a safeguard to give per
sons an opportunity ts object to the Issu
ance of the license should the saloon keeper
violate any of the laws. He explained In
making the objection that It was not the
intention to retard the progress of the
board in issuing ths Hce.itfS until after
January 1 for the purpose of forcing th
saloon to be closed for two or three days
or until such time that the. linen" could
be granted, but tfipk the precautionary
step for tbs purpose of maintaining strict
discipline at the saloons and to prevent
carelessness In complying with the.' laws.
M. L. Learned represented the applicants
and sought to establish ths eligibility of
the signers,
The following applications 'r ovnrld
red at ths meeting: Jud Cres,- tit South
Fifteenth street; J. J. Dosdae at Mil Hick
