Nebraska _ll CONVICT LABOR 10 COMPELL Contract of Shirt Company Silent as | to Place of Sale. | GOODE MAY GO OVER STATE Physical Connection Telephones of to Before Supreme Court Case from Norfolk, Competing Soon Come Up | (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN, Jan. 7.—(8pecial.)~The ma-| chinery for the manufacture of shirts has | arrived at the state penitentiary and is | being installed, after which convicts will | be used for this work i addition to man- | ufacturing brooms. | This work will be done under tract which Colonel Berryman Governor Shallenberger to sign. Contrary to the report made o the State | Federation of Labor that the contract pro- | vided that no goods manufactured by the Platt company in the penitentiary would be s0ld In Nebraska, the contract is abso lutely silent on that point. The contractor has a right under his agreement with the governor and members of the Board of| Public Lands and Bufldings to sell his| goods In Nebraska or anywhere else he can find a market. His goods will be brought in direct competition with the | same kind of goods manufactured by other firms In this state. The contract has finally been filed with | the secretary of state and it provides that the state shall furnish ‘10 conviets (if available) to carry on the work of manu- | facturing work shirts; that the state fur-| nish heat, light and power; a suita bullding tn which to carry on the work and also a storage room in which to keep | the manufactured articles and wagons and teams necessary for dravage of mm--nlm‘ and manufagtured products. The contraptor agrees to pay at the rate of 87% cents & dozen for shirts manufac tured; a day's task for a conviet shall be | ons and tw de Aozen shirts: convicls | shall work not less than elght hours a| day, or more if the state says so. The| contractor shall have three months time | before he has to account for and pay for | the work done, At the end of the thre: months the state shall receive full pay for the convicts, even It they are unable to complete the tasks in a day.

In examining the tariff law, Secretary of Btate Junkin has discovered a typographical | error which makes a difference of $2,000,000 in the amount of decrease in the revenue | to be derived from the operation of the | new law. The correction of the error is | in favor of the law. | The recapitulation of the decreases and increases In revenue figured on the reve- nues of 1%7 shows this Duty Increased | $13,763,688.81; duty decreased §7,196,638.04; dif- ference, increase §$4,313,677.71. According to the table, the decrease of the $7,000,000 added to the difference between those figures and the increaso should equal the Increase of the $13,000,000. Mr. Junkin noticed that the figures would not prove themselves, so he made the sub- traction of the increase and the decrease and the result was $9,460,196.66, or $2,000,000 more In favor of the decrease than the law | is glven credit for. The total duty under the old law was $31,5641,620.07 and under the conferenece law $22,091,432.41. The compllers of the figures made a mistake of $2,000,00 is the con- induced | Telephone Case. Indirectly the question of physical con- nection between telephone companies will shortly be brought before the supreme court if the State Railway commission bas its way about it. The commission this afternoon in- structed the attorney general to begin a mandamus proceeding against the Ne- braska Telephone company to compel it to install a telephone in the office of the Norfolk Long Distance Telephone com- | pany at Norfolk. This actlon was taken by the commission after it had dismissed the application of the last named com- pany for an order to force the Nebraska company to furnish it a telephone. The Norfolk company alleged the Nebraska company had removed its telephone from ite office and that the Nebraska com- pany's telephone was necessary for the conduct of its business, so therefore it desired it reinstalled. It was alleged that the Norfolk com- pany was a competing company and was using the Nebraska company's telephome for thus injured the business of the Nebraska company. Commissioner Clarke is of the opinion that the independent company has the right to have Installed a Nebraska com- pany telephone and use it for the trans- mission of messages just the same as the telegraph companies use the telephone gor the transmission of messages. Com- issioners Winnett and Cowslll were not thal opinlon, 80 the matter was re- ferred to the attorney general. It is belleved by the commission that the question can more quickly be settled by & mandamus brought by the attorne geenral than by Its own order. Last is First.

THE HOME OF QUALITY CLOTHES OUR GREAT EXPLAINING OUR POSITION: We think there should be a dis inet understanding between a store and its customers. We know you have often been deceived in the past and may choose to question even our statements. This much we wish to say—in no instance does this store resort to trickery in any form—The reductions here are just as represented, and you are welcome to them—if, how- ever, after looking at the garments you are unable to judge of the values and are still skeptical, you are under no obliga- tion to buy—in fact, we would far rather you would not purchase if you entertain a particle of doubt as to the sufficiency of the reductions or the truthfulness of our statements. NE-HALF OFF SALE # OF MEN’S, YOUNG MEN’S, BOYS’ & CHILDREN'’S SUITS & OVERCOATS STARTS SATURDAY, JANUARY 8TH It is the ONE really important Clothing event of the winter and affords every person an opportunity to purchase high class clothes of quality and of the most recent style, at prices far below those that prevail in stores handling the most ordinary merchandise—Qur only excuse for holding a sale is our avowed purpose of cleaning house each season. Not a dollar’s worth of “specially purchased” goods in this sale or a garment unworthy a place in a store building a reputation for quality—Only broken lots of the high stand- ard clothes that have delighted our thousands of “in season™ customers and these are honestly offered at— A bulletin of bargains for men ; young men $10 Suits and Overcoats $ 5.00 $12 Suits and Overcoats $ 6.00 $13 Suits and Overcoats $ 6.50 $15 Suits and Overcoats $ 7.50 $17 Suits and Overcoats $ 8.50 $18 Suits and Overcoats $ 9.00 $20 Suits and Overcoats $10.00 $23 Suits and Overcoats $11.50 $25 Suits and Overcoats $12.50 $30 Suits and Overcoals $15.00 $35 Suits and Overcoats $17.50 $40 Suits and Overcoats $20.00 $50 Suits and Overcoats $25.00 Some of the advantages you have at our sale: You take no chances here of not getting good clothes. They are good and cost at wholesale more than you are asked to pay for them— The less expensive ones cost less than the better ones—which is emi- nently fair to all. The old trick of marking an exorbitant and imaginary ‘‘for- mer price’’ on the garments and then reducing the price to one half the represented value—finds no place in our store service. Half price here means exactly one-half of our regular all season selling price. The practice of allowing favored customers and friends to select the choicer garments several days in advance is not tolerated here. The person with no personal friends in this store is equal before our bar- gain tables with the most influential citizen of the land—it is only a matter of getting here early Saturday morning. You choose from all new goods made for Fall and Winter 1909-10. You are in no danger of selecting a garment over four months old. Those who remember our sale of last year know why this store (and only this store) was able to open last Fall’s Season with all new Clothes. You act as your own salesman during this sale. The prices will speak eloquently without assistance from us. Every garment on our big first floor has its original ticket upon which appears the original price that has prevailed all season and will continue to prevail until 7:30 Saturday morning. You simply select the garment and pay us one-half. Our salesmen will assist you in every possible way, but they have positive instructions to not urge you to buy.
