The Business of Mort's
Clothes Shop has grown and
thrived for over two years. "We
have built a Business during
this time which we can refer to
with Pride for we doxibt that
any store has the support of a
more representative clientele
than we. The prestige we have
gained and the loyalty of our
patrons are among our most
enjoyable recollections.
Interests which heretofore
have been interested in this
Business are to be altered some
what to further the progress
and add to the Capital of this
institution.
New ideas are to be injected,
new lines are to be added. Cer
tain Policies which in the main
have been successful, but which
require changing to meet new
conditions, are to be incorpo
rated. The Business Must Be Ex
panded to cope with the new
conditions which have come
about in the past few years.
In order to meet these
new conditions it is
necessary for us to con
vert our Entire Stock
into Cash immediately.
To clear out a stock com
pletely requires drastic price
cutting and notwithstanding
the natural loss of profits in so
doing we have concluded to
name prices so low on new
Spring Suits, Overcoats and
Baincoats for, Men and Young
Men that this sale will be irre
sistible. One of the primary reasons
for inaugurating a sale as out
lined above is for the purpose
of Raising Cash. As a matter
of fact Raising Funds is imper
ative. The' changes whicl are to be
made in the conduct of Busi
ness will in no way affect the
future character of this shop
or its personnel.
The contemplated sale only
refers to an enlargement and a
betterment of conditions gen.
orally.
AVe want the continued sup
port of those who have been
instrumental in. placing the
name of Mort's Clothes Shop
in the forefront with the pro
prcssivo Men's Stores of the
eifrT.
A further announce
ment, with Price Quota
tions, will be made in
all the local newspa
pers, and we trust every
one will avail them
selves of the unusual
offerings which are to
be made on the Highest
Quality Wearables in
Clothes for men and
young men obtainable.
N. B. This shop will be
closed Tuesday and Wednes
day in order to mark down the
entire stock and arrange the
store for the Big Event which
will open on Thursday, April

LINCOLN, April 6.-(SpeclaJ.)-County
Attorney Majrnty of Douglas county has
made a request to Governor Morehead
for tli6 Issuance of a requisition on the
Kovernor 'of Wisconsin for the return
to Omaha of Walter Itoos, who aban
doned his wife some time afro and had
been apprehended In Milwaukee.
A letter to the governor states that
the county attorneyls fully acquainted
with the fact that the governor Is much
opposed to taxing the state treasury to
return men who. have abandoned their
wives and sets out that the relatives of
the wife have agreed to bear the ' ex
pense.
Governor Morehead will take the matter
under advisement for a few days. He Is
rather of the opinion that where a man
would abandon his wife, the chances are
the wife Is well rid of him and would be
better oft without him. He thinks that
If some way could bo provided to make
him support her It would be the best
thing for the wife, Instead of bringing
him back and forcing him to live with
hor against his will, resulting In un
happiness for her and no possible good
to bo gained.

Switch Chnrge In Dispute.
A case brought In the supreme court
to test the right of the State Railway
commission to establish switching rates
at College View, a suburb of Lincoln,
was argued in the supreme court this
morning. It is claimed by College View
people that the town Is discriminated
against when It comes to rates, and At
torney W. M. Morning cited cases of
where It cost about twice as much to
get a carload of sand, apples and other
things to that place as it did to Uni
versity riace, Bethany and other Lincoln
suburbs. Judge Root, appearing for the
Burlington, stated that if the people of
Colleg View would buy their stuff where
It could be brought to that town over
the Burlington without change to any
other road they would find the charges
not exorbitant. The difference came In
favor of the other suburbs because they
culd ship over one road and thus avoid
transfer and switching charges. The
commission had granted the Lincoln
Traction company, which has a spur into
College View, a switching rate of 7 per
car.

OCEAN AND RAIL RATES
VERY MUCH DIFFERENT

corn rate from San Lorenzo to New

The railroad rates on corn from New
Tork to Chicago are about the same over
the cheapest routes as the rate from San

from Pan Rosarto comes across the'ocen.n
to New Tork for about the same rate
as the charges from Buffalo to New
York.
Corn comes from the upriver ports of
Argentine to Galveston on three out of
the four routes for less than 7 oents.
From Kaqsas City to Galveston, In 1913,
the rate was quoted at 9.8 cents.
