WAIT ISSUES INSTRUCTIONS
Atteatle of County Clerk Called to
Two Error In Electioa Ballot
Sent to Theiu from
Lincoln.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
WXpOLN, OcU (Special.) Secre
tary of State Wait has received numer
ous letters of Inquiry regarding the man
ner of voting for the constitutional
amendment andlias sent to the dif
; ferent county clerks the following letter
calling attention to the way to vote for
: the amendments as a party measure and
t also to a couple of errors In the election
1 ballot which will have to be changed by
' the olarkg of the counties before the some
are printed:
The election boards in each voting pre
cinct in your county should be Instructed
to count all straight votes of each po
litical party for the five constitutional
amendments.
- You will not on my certificate of nom
ination that all parties voting, at tne
primary held April 19 endorsed the same
by a majorltyt vote, and that the pro
gressive party endorsed them at their
utate convention lieid September 5. Tne
; courts have held that, where an a mend -'
ment is thus endorsed it becomes a
party measure and in effect' is the same
as nomination or endorsement of a can
didate. Where a cross is not made in
the party circle at the top of the ballot,
voters must indicate their vote for or
against an amendment by placing a cross
in the square at the right of each of the
amendments. It is Important that elec
tion boards be so Informed that the votes
on the amendments may be properly
canvassed. Newspapers will aid in giv
ing this information publicity.
On the sample ballot mailed from this
department we discover that the inltlaal
letter "G" in the name of H. Or. Tay
lor, candidate for railway commissioner,
reads "C." Also that on our certificate
the initial letter "F" In the name of
( Skiphus V. Neble, presidential elector,
i reads "P." Please correct
Trio on Forgery Charge.
; The time of the Lancaster bounty oourt
has been taken 'up the last two days
with the trial of William S. Rounds,
who cashed a check at the City National
bank of Lincoln on April last, drawn on
the Omaha National bank and signed
by H. iB. San ford, which proved to be
fraudulent. Yesterday Mrs. Sadie Ham
ilton, whose husband runs the Welling
ton hotel in Omaha, was on the stand
V yesterday and was followed by her hus
band, Howard Hamilton.
Hamilton's testimony was practically
the same as that which had been given
by his wife, Sade Hamilton, except that
It went further and connected the de
fendant with the woman, Elsie Waters,
who, It is claimed by the state, was his
accomplice in the offense. Hamilton
testified that he -knew Miss Waters and
that she had stopped at the hotel for a
short time before Rounds or Sanford
went there. Her conduct was such that
she was asked to give up her room.
William Wallace, vice president of .the
Omaha National bank, on which the
check was drawn, testified that the sig
nature was not genuine. He also quail
fied a aan expert on handwriting and
testified that the endorsement on the
back of the check was written by the
same person who wrote a number of sig
natures which were shown him, and
which had been previously identified as
having been written by Rounds after his
arrest.
Nail Dunn, who was collected with the
City National bank at the time the check
was cashed and who handled the paper,
identified the defendant as the man who
lcwght the check to the bank for col
lection. This was on April 18, and tha
lame man came back ony April 26 and
receded a cashier's chock, which he
cashed and got the money.

OMAHA'S ONLY MODERN CLOTHING STORE
Ours is a Shoe
business built
on merit
We have never claimed to do the largest
shoe business in town. Wo don't do it
but ours is a customer-satisfying business.
There is a peculiar thing about the shoe
business. A great many dealers claim to
sell shoes for less than market cost and a
great many fellows who should know
better "fall for if times innumerable.
. They will buy anything else in the worl.t
and pay a reasonable price for It, yet ex
pect to buy hoes for a song. Our shoe
department is operated for the benefit of
our customers and those fellows who want
quality footwear rather than bargain foot
wear. "We sell the best shoes that can be
old at our prices; they are stylish, easy
to "break in" and comfortable, always.
We want to show them to men who are
tired of so-called "shoe bargains."

HALF-MINUTE STORE TALK
It's easy enough to make claims as to the Immens
ity of business done. Lots of stores are past mas
ters in the art of claim making. But one thing is
certain, to sell the goods a store must receive them.
Freight men tell us that we receive more freight
tfian any other clothing store in town. Almost every
week we sell a hundred or so empty shipping cases
of various sizes. The freight a store receives ia a
sure index to the volume of business it does. Here
again the evidence is altogether favorable to this
the greatest of Western Clothing stores.
If you knew that our claims were well
founded, you'd surely patronize
this store
Well, Sir, you must take them
for truth until you investigate
and disprove them!
We know what advantages this store has over other stores hut you don't, at least
until you have investigated. You know other stores make claims just like ours and per
haps you set us down as overly enthusiastic. Well, sir, investigation will prove our
claims false or otherwise. We claim this to be the best c' - re for you to pat
ronize. We claim to do better for you and better by you I i ' :i 'tore in town. We
make our claims boldly, hoping to arouse you to a spirit of investigation. In the four
years' existence of this store we have never asked for any support other Uian that found
ed on the closest investigation. Today we are just as well convinced as ever of our posi
tion. If you are as much disposed to investigate as we are to assist your investigation,
we'll gain and keep a customer.
It's difficult to detect
inferiority in hats
Lots of makers gloss It over with style and after a
few wearings the style features are but a memory
and inferiority Is In marked evidence. Out hats
have quality back of their style and their good
looks linger as a consequence.
