In fact he is constantly working and this article is to warn . merchants against falling into the trap. The latest is a cabinet, a kitchen cabinet and 108 pieces of silverware that the merchant is supposed to give away to the consumer, upon several proposi tions as the promoters may sug gest. l Now all this premium scheme looks very good. If the so-called retailer who purchases such premium graft could have the field to himself, but this is not the rase. This experience has proven. Where a premium is put on, another merchant puts on a scheme equally as good and the third and fourth, not desiring to be outdone, put on premiums of greater value and the result is either a great sacrifice in profit or an exhorbitant price on goods making the consumer pay for premium. This article is published as a word of warning to all fair minded retail merchants to pass up any and all premium schemes, no matter if it is a gum sticker. They are discord breeders among competitors. .Heller adopt the Federation slogan, co-operate, sell goods at a right price and en joy merchandizing and good fel lowship while it is your lot to live. Omaha Trade Exhibit. There was some excitement created Saturday evening on low er Main street when two men at tempted to mix in a rought aad tumble fight, without the Queens. berry rules, but fortunately foi both neither one was able to d any very effective fighting, and although there were a number of blows struck no great damagt was done, although one of them was knocked down without much difficulty, while the other man re ceived a poke in the nose from sme of the bvslanders. Aftei the interchange of blows the dif ferent parties retired before the police arrived and everything was serene and peaceful as could pos sibly be asked for. The men had both been drinking quite heavily. Accounts Must Be Settled. There are still a great many accounts due the estate of Aug ust Gorder that we must insis'. upon being setteld at once.

ZUCKER, Manager A GREAT PLAY AT THE PAKE E FRIDAY VENING A Portrayal of "The Shepherd of the Hills," One of Greatest Plays Ever Produced. Harold Boll Wright, who is sab to be tht- most popular of the younger American novelists, with the assilance of Klsbery V. Rey nolds, has made a dramatization of his most widely read novel "The Shepherd of tho Hills." lis production in this city will takt place at the Parmerly thealei next Friday nifrht, April fl. .Mr "Wright is a man with a mission and a message he is a story toller, and when the story ends we begin a better lift' "along tin sun-lit holds, where the fight lingers even when the sun is down." We start this journey of "the higher trail among the hills" be cause the gifted writer puts into our hearts the benediction of a renewed faith in men and women, a vital love for truth and beauty, and a deathless hope in the good outcome among the niysterie.- brooding where our Pilgrim way meets horizon shadows. He calls his story a very old story. This is true, indeed, for have not good and had been in ceaseless con- llief since the dawn of human life? Have not toil and love gathered their blossoms and fruit since the time when men and women first learned to weep and sing? The story is old if age conies with the portrayal of the elemental and eternal forces of our human world; but. it is new wonderfully fresh and sweet with the morning light and dew of vir gin ihlls and valleys for these age-long forces of the soul find expression in the characters to whom we have never been in troduced until now. Yet these people of the Ozarks are real tlesh-and-blood folk; some, it i true, reach the heroic; still vt feel in them the throb of kinship to all who live outside their al most enchanted bind. Here is a play worth seeing in this day of multitudinous and in spired drama. Here is a plot. Tho movement is ever onward there ire no retrograde and meaning less eddies in this stream of hap penings. The current of events seizes you and takes you on and n. and when the end comes you are glad and sorrowful glad bo- ause so good a play ends as it oes, sorrowful because it ends so soon.
