Storm Has in Nebraska.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 21. A storm
has been raging through the west
for the past twenty-four hours that
has seriously interfered with the
railroad business. All day yester
day traffic in the west was badly de
layed, but reports received this
evening indicate that the fury of the
storm has been spent, and better
conditions prevail. The storm was
most severe on the 500 miles between
Cheyenne and Ogden. The wind
blew at the rate of sixty miles an
hour from the northwest with a
blinding snowstorm in progress and
the mercury at zero. Passenger
trains on the Union Pacific had a
hard time of it, but were able to keep
fairly close to schedules. The
freights did not fare so well. The
velocity of the wind made schedule
time impossible for the train men to
do their work with any degree of
promptness. All business was more
or less blocked, and it was not until
this morning that the wind abated
and the storm broke. Reports at
the Burlington show that a light
snow fell throughout Nebraska, four
inches being reported at Eekley and
light falls nil the way from Hold
dredge to Lyons. The mercury did
not go so low ia Nebraska, the min
imum t-rjjperature being reported
at HotaixJge at S above. On the
Wyoming division of the Burlington
there was much snow. The Black
Hills was covered and eight inches
reported at. Billings. In Wyoming
and South Dakota it was more severe
than in manv years.
The foot ball game between the
Butler and "Warrensburg teams ad
vertised to take place in thi3 city
to day, owing to the bad weather
has been declared off.1! "
As has been our usual custom to
reduce our stock by the first of the
New Tear for invoicing, so we will
give some extremely low prices from
now until New Year. It Sb us
6trange to us, how some people can
do business and sell at .'-Cost,'' and
what seems more strange, is, while
we are not selling at cost, our selling
price on the best quality of goods,
is lower than their cost price. Still
when we stop to think of the long
experience we have had in the gro
cery business, and the close atten
tion we have given it, to learn what
all class of goods cost the manufac
turers to prepare them for the mar
ket, and having the cash to buy
witn, and buying m such large quan
tities, enables us to buy goods at 20
per cent less than the average gro
cery man. Having this advantage,
besides a very large trade, enables
us to buy only the very best goods,
and sell them at the cheap stuff
prices.
We buy nothing but the best in
every line we handle, asd everything
we sell you is warranted. Our oat
flake, op oven baked of the finest
white oat and does not gum togeth
er when cooked. Our pearl hominy
is made of hominy corn, and every
particle of the hull taken off. Our
6c Bice is whole white Carolina rice.
Our Java blend coffee is a mixtui
of Java, Santos and Rio, and the
best coffee for the money by 5c per
lb. that is sold in Bates county.
It makes no difference what other
merchants may tell you, we give you
the plain facts, and will continue to
do so so long as we remain in busi
ness. Some merchants seem to
think, or at least they have been
ruuniny on that plan, that the only
way to advertise their goods, is to
run down other merchants goods,
and nine times out of ten, we are
the ones they fling their vile at first.
Why? Because we are selling the
good, and at prices a little too low
to suit them.
We have on hands nearly four
thousand dollars worth of glassware
and Chinaware, in fact, we have a
larger and finer assortment than is
usually displayed in the large cities,
which you can see for yourself by
calling at our store, and at about
half the price they would charge
you; how iB that? Well, iu the first
place, we imported our goods our
selves from France and Germany
and got them as cheap as any house
in America could buy them; in the
second place, it costs in large cities
tea times the expense to sell them as
it does us, as our expenses are com
paratively nothing.
We have mugs, cups and saucers,
child a sets, vases, cake plates, eu
gars and creams, tea sets by the
hundreds, from oc each up to as hne
as you want We bought 100 fine
ase and Banquet Lamps, have al
ready sold over half of them; we are
actually selling a prettier and much
finer lamp than we ever handled be
fore, at less than half the price we
had to ask you last vear. h
Because we bought them last March
from the factory, at factory prices
delivered. We advise all parties
wanting a fine lamp at the cheap
price to come and buy it now; as
thev will all be gone belore JNew
Yyar, and we cannot buy them as
cheap again this year, as the facto
ries have all closed for the season.
ABOUT CA&3DY.
We propose to supply the county
in Christmas candies. We have
already contracted for over three
thousand pounds of candy, which
we will almcst give away. School
teachers and Sunday school super
intendents take notice.
SILVERWARE.
We have loaded up heavy on Rog
ers best silver knives and forks, tea
and table spoons, and intend to sell
them from now until New Year at
sugar and coffee prices.
