THE FIDDLER'S
CONTEST SURE
TD BESUGGESS
From Present Indications There
Will Be Larger Number of Con
testants Than Ever Before.
The plans for the big Fiddlers'
Contest, which is to be held in
this city on Friday evening", Feb
ruary 27th, are being thoroughly
prepared in order to make the
event one of the best that has
ever been held in this city. The
contest will be held in the Par
meie theater and the. list of
entries will, from the present
outlook, be one of the largest
that has ever entered into any of
the contests and will embrace all
the crack old-time tiddlers from
this county, as well as Mills
county, Iowa; Otoe, Nemaha and
Sarpy counties, who will be heard
in their favorite selections, and
this will prove most amusing to
those who are hand lo attend the
event.
The contestants this year will
be divided into classes according
to their years, and Ibis will make
the event more interesting, as
the younger players are usually
fonder of the more popular f
the lale music, while the older
players will tune up on the old
time melodies that delighted the
public years ago. The Fiddlers'
Contest has grown more popular
with each succeeding year and
everyone is looking forward to an
evening of pure, unalloyed enjoy
ment, and all should prepare to
attend this I)i event, which will
be one of the features of the
winter's amusement program.

EVERYBODY
PLEASED WITH
"LITLLE jlfN"
Good Attendance Both Afternoon
and Night and the Play a
Most Delightful One.
The words of praise that have
been bestowed by hundreds of
thousands of theater-goers upon
"Little Women," the play that
has been constructed on the
world famous book of Miss
Louisa May Abbott, is well de
served, as almost everyone who
saw the play last evening at the
Parmele theater will agree. The
play is a relief to see, Tilled as it
is with the spirit of the American
home, where the true home life
that has made so many true men
and women can find its I rue il
lustration. The rlay has been
given a very elaborate setting by
Mr. Brady, the producer, ami
there is no detail omitted to make
the play truthful in its protrayal
of the life of a New England fam
ily during the sixties. There are
many little pieces of furniture
and bric-a-brac used in the play
that formerly was used in the
household of the Alcolt family at
Concord, Massachusetts. ' The
costumes worn by the company
were very truthful in keeping
with the time of the play and
showed the style so popular dur
ing the days of the civil war.
The. production last evening
was attended by a very good
sized crowd, while in the after
noon there were a goodly number
in attendance at the matinee and
almost everyone felt that it was
a play that was well worth at
tending, and to have missed it is
to have lost the opportunity of
witnessing one of the cleanest
plays that has ever been placed
on the American stage, and in
the hands of the excellent com
pany was most thoroughly enjoy
ed by all in attendance. There
was not a poor member of the
company in their acting and they
gave a most, truthful and lifelike
representation of the doings and
acts of the simple family life that
Miss Aleott immortalized in her
great book, and the play breathes
a spirit of purity that lifts the
production far above the average
drama that has been placet! on
the American stage in the last
few years. This was one of the
best plays that has ever been
seen here and Manager Shlaes
deserves much praise for having
been able to secure such an ex
cellent attraction.

. W. WINNER
IS SUFFERING
FROM EYE TROUBLE
A few days ago Charles II.
Warner, the prominent farmer
residing just southwest of this
city, was compelled to go to Oma
ha to consult a specialist in re
gard lo his eyes, which had been
troubling him for some time, and
on a close examination it was
found that the trouble was. that
of granulated eyelids and' that
they were in a "very serious con
dition. Mr. . Warner has been
compelled to remain at the hos
pital in that city taking treat
ment, and it is thought now that
his eyes can be restored to their
former good condition by care
and attention. It is very fortun
ate for Mr. Warner that he had
Ihe eyes looked after when he did,
as the specialists were of the
opinion that in a short time he
would have lost the sight of
them.

Tendency to Disease.
is an indisputable fact that
many people have a certain ten
dency to diseases. Some "catch
cold" very easily, some become
constipated, others get the rheu
matism. Such persons should
know and have always at hand a
certain remedy which would
easily check the disease. We
wish to suggest Triner's Ameri
can Elixir of Bitter Wine,
especially in cases of constipa
tion ami all difficulties connected
with the same. It gradually
diminishes the "tendency of this
disease and gives enough
strength to the organs to work
regularly. In diseases of the
stomach, the liver and the bowels
it always has. a good effect,
bringing relief. It cleans out the
body and keeps it clean. At drug
stores. Jos. Triner, Manufactur
ing Chemist, 1333-1339 So. Ash
land Ave., Chicago, III. In any
pain you may rely upon Triner's
Liniment. Rub it in the skin and
the pain will disappear.
VERY VALUABLE DOG
IS POISONED
From Wednpsday's Daily.
Last, night Mural Parmele
noticed his line coach dog, which
was one of the finest animals in
the city, acting strangely, and In?
thought at first that possibly the
animal was going mad and tied
him up securely, but in a short
time his actions showed clearly
that it was a case of poison that
had evidently been given him,
and despite all possible efforts
Ihe dog died. Mr. Parmele valued
the dog very highly, not only as
a pet, but also from a financial
point of view, as he had recently
refused an offer of ?30 for the
animal, and if he eould lay his
hands on the party or parties
who done the deed he would
make it mighty warm for them,
as he should as it was a very
dastardly deed and whoever done
it should be made to suffer for
the outrage.

THE CLOSING HOUR
From Tuesday's Daily.

evening about 'J o'clock for the
sum of 50 cents. Andrews has
been, shut olf from securing
liquor at the saloons for some
time, but has been able to get on
