Indian Funeral at Mwr.
LYONS, Neb.. Jan. 12 (Special.) Ulysses
B. Grant, a prominent Indian on the
reservation, was burled at their cemetery
near Macy with many Interesting Indian
ceremonies In addition to the regular Pres
byterian mission services. A costly metal
casket with a steel vault had been obtained
from Lyons undertaker, who had to order
It specially from Fremont to get It there
t the appointed time. Some of the peculiar
ceremonies which seems Interesting con
sisted in clearing the home of all furniture
xceptlng a largo range upon which a great
feast was prepared and a cloth laid on the
floor In the middle of the room when about
3"0 Indtuna partook. They also laid down
after their feast with their feet toward
tha corpse und their heads toward the
walls. Tha body wus dressed In a white
robe and after It wus lowered Into the
grave a fine and costly blanket of a very
Leauliful pattern was place over the casket
before the steel vault was closed and
locked. Mr. Urunt was about 52 years of
ass and was well to do.
Indtnn la Fatally flamed.
NORTH PI-ATTE, Neb.. Jan. 12. - Spe
cial. I An Indian named Showing Baer was
seriously burned this morning as a result
of using coal oil to start the fire. He was
one of a party of Indians from Pine Ridge
and was staying at the Mission house
when he got up In the early morning to
build a fire. In throwing some coal oil
Into the stove, the can exploded and was
torn to pieces, the blazing oil striking him
In the face and chest und Uniting his
clothing. His cries brought his companions
t his aid and they rolled hint in the snow
to put out the flames. He was attended
by a physician, but there is little hopes of
lils recovering.

Of all Odds and End that wo have left over from the $75,000 Receiver's stock of the Main Department Store, Denver, Coto and our own large stock. The many thousands of people that have attended this sale and went
way with arms full of bargains suoh as never were offered to them before can expect still greater bargains In this final clean-up of these two large stocks, notwithstanding that we have sold a very large quantity of goods
since starting this sale, but nevertheless the stocks in each of our 25 different departments are still In grand shape regarding sizes, colors and styles, and every one of these departments will be overflowing with the final
clean-up bargains that will stagger the people when they see the wonderful low prices staring them In their faces as soon as they get Inside of the largest Bargain Store west of New Yerk city. When Mr. Adler says elsan
up all stocks, he means It, and forgets that there ever was such a word as profit; and we not only aim to dispose of every dollar's worth of this high grade merchandise that is left from the Main Department Store stock,
but we will also give you one of the largest surprises when It oomes to letting the profits blow to the four winds, and have the name of The Fair Store in every home for the next six months; for when we started this sal
we said that It would go down in history and live In the minds of the people forever. And anything that The Fair says Is always carried out to the letter; so ail that have attended this sale already know what to expect
when we say CLEAN-UP SALE, and those that have not been in to see us will profit greatly by attending Friday and Saturday. Below we print some of these CLEAN-UP BARGAINS that will await you. If we were
to print every Item that we carry In this large stock, we would require a whole newspaper; so we will say. again, come In and see for yourself and be convinced that the name of THE FAIR stands for honest advertis
ing methods only, and the people are always sure to get Just the articles that ars advertised at the advertised prices. Doors will be open Friday Morning, January 13, at 8:30, and our bargain tables will be heaped with
the same wonderful money-saving bargain that have always awaited you, and the shortest lots will be sold at far less than oost of raw material.

As being unfair to the attorney general
of tho state, whose duty it la to prosecute
such case.
As being contrary to the spirit of both
the last democratic and republican plat
forms. Insofar as It takes sway the right

their own lawyers.
