A House Divided Against Itself
Must Fall," And Thus it is
With the Barber on the
Matter of Fifteen
Cent Shares
It was rumored this morning that
there was a movement amonft the
barbers of tie city to raise the price
of shaving to 15 cents, but It would
seem on Investigating the matter
that they do not all favor the in
crease of price, so we suppose the
matter will end right where It be
gan. It seems that with an advance of
prices of . everything else that the
barbers would be somewhat justi
fied in doing so. But there -would
be but little use In part of "them
charge 15 cents while the others
charge the same old price. If they
can unanimously agree on the' mat
ter there would be but little com
plaint on the part of the public,
especially those who are steady cus
tomers. If a man goes to Omaha
and desires to get shaved he pay 15
cents, and why should be not be will
ing to jpay the nune price here. 'The
laborer Is worthy of bis hire," and
while some people may thing 15
cents too much, we think It is not.
As prices of everything we eat and
wear is on the advance, the barbers
are not to blame In their demands
for an increase in their prices.
A Birthday Siirpi'"e.

The Time of The Year When
Both Old and Young Should
Possess Good Cheer.
The near approach of the Christ
mas, holidays naturally tends to di
rect the thoughtful mind back to the
causes that led to the almost uni
versal observance of the holiday.
It Is only three days now until many
little hearts will be made glad be
cause of tokens received from their
loved ones, and others, will be cor
respondingly saddened because they
shall have been overlooked not on
account of the lack of friends but
In many Instances for the reason that
their frlehds' are' forgetful, or have
not the money with which Jo buy
little tokens. '
, But the spirit of Christmas Is a
noble spirit when the man or woman
appreciates that the spirit of Christ
mas Is the spirit of Christ, In honor
of whoso birth the day Is observed.
"It is more blessed to give than to
receive." These are words that have
rung out through the ages, and their
Import lias been felt and made men
better by having Inculcated Into
their lives the element of liberal
lty.
Very few men, women or children
And it hard to bestow gifts upon
those that are of blood relation, or
closely related by the ties of friend
ship. But It is another proposition
when It is considered that duty de
mands we go out beyond the Im
mediate home, kindred, neighbor or
school fellow.
Those persons who were close to
the Christ were perplexed when he
enumerated the good things they had
done for him that were not aware
of. They asked: "When saw we
Thee hungry and fed Thee," "When
saw we Thee athlrst and gave Thee
drink," etc? They Were not able to
understand that the world was his,
until he had given utteranco to the
following: "Inasmuch ns ye have
done It unto one of these, the least
of my brethcrn, ye have done It un
to me."
This side of the question of giving
presented to the world a broader vis
Ion, and whllo there are, and per
haps always will bo men who are
selllsh, down deep In their hearts,
yet these hnvo not the capability of
appreciating the blessings of real
gratitude The spirit of Christmas
ought to bo encournged, and we be
lieve, is destined to bo enlarged and
expanded as the world grows older.
The parent who Is unresponsive to
his child, especially at Christmas
time, robs the' child of much hap
piness that Is its due, and at the
same time weakens his own char
acter. Hang up the fiddle
And the bow,
For Chrlstmns horns
Are all the go.
Hang up the smllax In the hall,
Hang up the wreaths of holly,
Then gaily welcome one and all
And help to make it Jolly.
The old fashioned way of dosing
a weak stomach or stimulating the
Heart of Kidneys Is all wrong. Dr.
Shoop first pointed out this error.
This Is why his prescription Dr.
Shoop's Restorative-Is directly entire
ly to the cause of these ailments
the weak inside or controlling ner
ves. It Isn't so difficult, says Dr.
Shoop, to strengthen a weak Stom
ach, Heart, or Kidneys, If one goes
at It correctly. Each inside organ
hns Its controllng or Inside nerves.
When these nerves fall, then those
organs must surely falter. These vi
tal truths are leading druggists
everywhere to dispense and recom
mend Dr. Shoop's P ratlve. Test
It a few days and . Improvement

DOINGS III THE
Fred C. Hall, Charged With
Adultery, Receives Jail Sent
ence of Thirty Days.
Several Interesting cases came up
before Judge Travis this morning In
district court
In the case of the State vs. Hall,
charging Fred C. Hall with adult
ery, the court handed down a de
cision after a very brief examina
tion of Mrs. Florence MJeyer, the
other party in the case, commltlng
the defendant to the county Jail for
30 days.
The defendant plead guilty to
the charge contained In the informa
tion, but on Inquiry of Mrs. Meyer,
and after the examination b the
court of the letters passing be
tween the parties and In considera
tion of the circumstances under
which the crime was committed, it
seemed to the court that Hall
thought the woman to be unmar
ried at the time he married her. If
such was the case he would not be
guilty of any Intentional violation
of the law, although technically
guilty of the crime charged. It was
due .'to this fact Jthat the Judge lot
him off so easily, giving him mere
ly a Jail sentence of 30 days.
In the case of the state vs. Snyder,
Alias Smith, the defendant, plead
guilty to the charge of burglary and
In consideration of his youth, the
boy only being seventeen, and ow
ing to the fact that this is his first
offense Judgo Travis imposed a
merely nominal sentence upon him
of 30 days In the county Jail.
