' "EVERYBODY STORE" . ' x -
SAL
THE sale this season is of even greater importance than ever before.
Furs will be in greater demand than for many years. Our show
ing is very complete and extremely wide in variety, and we believe
our patrons will welcome this unusual 6pportunity.
The 1 91 8 Fur Situation
The natural demand and extreme popularity of furs, combined with
the fact that certain Eucopean sources of supply have been cut off from this
country for the past three years, have led to a steady price advance.
We anticipated the present high, market by making our heaviest pur
chases months ago. Not only did this enable us to secure our stocks at the
lowest figure, but it gave us the choice of the American supply and also
allowed us ample time for manufacturing our furs.
Every piece represented had to be proved worthy of the Burgess-Nash
guarantee of quality, to insure the entire satisfaction of every customer.
Therefore, you may be sure that every fur piece sold will be exactly as
represented, and ' . ,
Back of Every Piece of Fur Sold is the Burgess-Nash Guarantee of Quality,
Authenticity of Style, and Thoroughly Satisfactory Wear
Save 25 to 35
IF YOU will make your purchase
during, this August sale of furs
you can effect a saving of from 25
per cent to 35 per cent under the
very low prices which will be in ef
fect after September 1. Therefore, it
is not only economy, but the very best
sort of investment to buy your furs at
this time rather than later oh.
DAME Fashion has some decided and certainly some very charming ideas
about the fur styles for this Fall and' Winterstyles that are quite
different from those of last season. Here's an idea of how the prices range:
Fur Scarfs at $12.00 to . $450.00
Fur Muffs at $8.00 to , . $ 90.00
Coatees at $145,00 to . $350.00
Fur Lined Coats $69.50 to $ 90.00
Fur Coats at $145.00 to $600.00 i

zie, Exhibit of Trophies of
War Front at Burgess-Nash
A German iron cross which was
picked up on a battlefield by Private
Healey is on exhibition at the Burgess-Nash
store this week.
The decoration was worn by a Hun
officer whom Healey killed. He gave
the cross to Sir William Hickey, gen
eral ofiis command, and he loaned
it to the Countess of Kingston who
is now in , Omaha in charge of an
exhibition of German trophies.
A chunk of black bread which was
loaned by an escaped Irish prisoner
who was kept in a German prison for
more than a year is a poignant re
minder that the war must be won
quickly. The bread is as har.d as ce
ment and looks as thought it were
made of gravel and sawdust. It seems
unbelievable that it can sustain life.
The Union Jack flag,, which was
carried by Viscount French during
the two years that he commanded
the British army, is one of the in
teresting trophies on exhibition.
A bit of Zeppelin wreckage which
entente airmen brought down after
it had made a midnight raid ovej
London also is on display. s
The exhibition is shown on the
fourth- floor of the Burgess-Nash
store this week.

Joseph Miller of Tekamah,
Charged as Slacker, Proves
Verbal Niagara; Released
On Own Bond
r
Joseph Miller, arrested in Teka
mah as a slacker, and brought to
Omaha Tuesday night by Deputy
United States Marshal Quinley, is no
slacker in the use of words, as he
amply demonstrated in the hearing
held Wednesday afternoon by Com
missioner Neale.
Miller was more than voluble. He
was a verbal Niagara. Tie first ques
tion of the commissioner broke down
the dam and the office of the district
attorney, where the hearing was held,,
was fairly flooded with oratory.
Miller declared with much verbi
age that he had always been under
the impression that he wis 32 years
of age, that he desired nothing more
than a chance to do his bit in get
ting the kaiser, and that he was only
restrained from rushing to France
and smiting Hinftnburg by the fact
that he was over the draft age.
The accused man among othei
things that while he has recently
been engaged in pitching hay, his real
vocation is that of an artist land
scape, picket fence and kalsomine.
That he had been married and had
three children, one of them a boy
14 or 15 years old, was divulged in
the course of the hearing. Miller

Miller was released on his own
