"College Boy."
When Chas. Riggs and son ar
ranged for the production of "The
College Boy" they evidently had in
mind a form of entertainment that
would appeal to all classes. That
their original ideas and subsequent
formation of them were based upon
keen observation is known by the
remarkable favor with which the of
fering has been received for three
consecutive seasons. The song and
comedy features embrace novelties
that appeal to everyone from the
gallery to the critic in the parquet.
There is not a dull moment in the
whole performance, it giving the
comedian Bernard Riggs, and sup
porting cast ample opportunity of
demonstrating their talents as sing
ers, dancers and farciers. The plot
sustains a pretty love story and the
songs and musical numbers are
"hits" every one of them. The
College Boy comes to the Parmele
Saturday, December 26.
"Ole Swanson."
"One of the best, if not the best
this season," is the unanimous ver
dict regarding the new Swedish com
edy drama "Ole Swanson," which ap
pears at the Parmele Theater on Frir
day, December 25,
The play is full of pure enjoyment,
clever comedy, blended with mirthful
melody, all in all, the purest as well
as the finest of popular successes. A
clever company has been provided
and new songs and specialities will
be introduced. Don't miss it.

Holiday Dinner.
We all like to celebrate a holiday
with a bountiful dinner. Prepara
tions are made long before the day
arrives, so everything is ready for
the feast. Hut, how about your
stomach? If this organ of yours is
not in perfect shape, there is no use
of making any preparations for your
dinner. If your stomach refuses to
accept so much food as when you are
in full health, use Triner's American
Elixir of Hitter Wine and you will be
prepared for a good meal. It has
given you a healthy appetite and will
strengthen your whole body. It will
give you full satisfaction in all dis
eases of the digestive tract, and, con
taining no injurious ingredients, will
be easily born on every stomach. At
drug stores. Jos. Triner, 61Glfi22

Right You Are.
The Plattsmouth Daily Journal ad
vertisements reflect an enterprising
lot of merchants. There is no use
denying the fact that the local paper
talks to the people will less expense
than anyother way. We have passed
R. F. D. mail boxes and seen circu
lars scattered around showing that
was as near home as they got, but
they don't leave their home paper
to be carried away by the wind. The
Republican has ever enjoyed a lib
eral advertising patronage and our
merchants who use it this way are
the ones who are profiting. There
are a few here who need advertising
space in their business and the lines
they carry are being freighted from
the Chicago and Kansas City mail
order houses. Every advertiser that
secures a new customer at his store,
secures a new one for some other
lines of business. One helps the
other, and some are content to let
the other fellow lure them to town.

son yesterday afternoon and this

ing and popular young woman with a

For That Dull Feeling After Mating.
I have used Chamberlain's Stomach
and Liver Tablets for some time, and
can testify that they have done me
more good than any tablets I have
ever used. My trouble was a heavy
dull feeling after eating. David Free
man, Kempt, Nova Scotia. These
tablets strengthen the stomach and
improve the digestion. They also reg
ulate the liver and the bowels. They
are far superior to pills but cost no
more. Get a free sample at T. G.
Fricke & Co.'s drug store and see
what a splendid medicine it is.
Hogs Die Suddenly.
Mr. Split living down near Rock
Bluffs is reported to have lost eleven
head of hogs a few days since under
peculiar circumstances. It seems
that there had been no symptoms of
illness in that herd but within an
hour eleven head suddenly died. The
animals would be running about all
right and apparently in the best of
health when they would suddenly
set down on their haunches and af
ter emitting a few feeble gasps ex
pire. There does not seem to be any
epidemic prevailing in his neighbor
hood and he and his neighbors are
much "mystified over the occurrence.
A veterinarian will be called in to
investigate the case.
