Masks Off at 10:30 Music by M. W. A. Orchestra Good Time for Everybody Assured The beauties of patronizing the mail 'order houses of the great extern cilies was illustrated this week when one of the patrons of these concerns sent an order lo the linn that was received on Ie- rember 1 i, and a short lime after wards he received from Ihe com pany a notice thai it would be im possible to ship the goods ordered until January 25. 1 Miring all this lime the company had bad the use of the money of Ihe, person order ing the goods and he had been compelled to wail, over a month and has not, yet received the ar ticles ordered. If he bad gone lo some of Ihe local merchants and procured the articles he could have gotten I hem at, once. 'or if they were ordered through them, delivered lo him, but by ordering through the mail order bouse be is the one who is compelled to bold Ihe sack and do the wailing. This is only one of Ihe many little annovances thai come up through doing business in this manner, ami the sooner llie peo- le wake up to Ihe fact that they an buy cheaper at home and see what they are getting the sooner they will be able lo practice true 'cononiy, for with a mail order house you lake what you can get and be glad that you got anything for your money. The I own in which you I ivo. lolds all that goes lo make up life and you owe it to yourself to make it as good a town as possible by building it up, and the only way lo do that successfully is to give the business interests your heartiest support by patronizing them on every possible occasion. No town can thrive whose resi dents take their money which they have made there and send it to some other place to be spent or invested. Moves to Town. M. A. Hall and family, who have been living south of this city, have moved lo town and taken up their residence in the Dr. Hall property in the Third ward.

Woodman Circle "fleets. Tho Woodman Circle held meeting last evening at the A. O U. V. hall and a number of the lodge members from Omaha were present to assist in tho work of th'o order.

We were pleased to meet both gentlemen. You can no more make a suc cess out of bad material than you can keep a good thing down. "Mutt and Jeff" scored a pronounced bit at its tfrsl performance. Why? J'.ecause Ihe play possessed real merit, and the people instantly recognized Ihe fact. That success has been grow ing and reading out until the report from every part of the 'country says: "The one big hit of thi' season." Not only the people, critics and newspaper comment pronounce it' a hit, but the heads of the great theatrical syndicate, who control Ihe booking of the thousands of theaters throughout this vast country, send out the report, "'Mutt and Jeff,' the financial success of the year." Think of it, overshadowing the success of all the great "stars," little "Mutt and Jeff" leads them all. Is it any wonder that everybody wants to see it? The reports of the newspaper critics nor the report from the syndicate did not make "Mutt and Jeff" a success. The people made it a success because it was just the sort of entertain ment they wanted to see. (Jus Hill knew the wants of the people and gave it to them, that's the answer.

Kvcry employment, either physical or mental, depends, in the first place, upon perfect health, because steady work will become impossible when our strength gives out every little, while. The main requirement is to keep the digestion apparatus in good condition. As long as we can accept and digest enough food, our earning capacity will not weaken. Should we notice any change we should at once use Triner's American Elixir of Hitter Wine. This remedy will act quickly and decidedly. It will drivo all impurities from the body and prepare the digestive organs for new food. It will strengthen these organs and make their work regular. At drug stores. Jos. Triner, 1.133-39 So.
