EMPRESS VAUDE VILLE HAD GOOD SHOW AGAIN LAST NIGHT Last evening the Empress Advance Vaudeville, which for the past four teen weeks has been visiting this city, gave a most pleasing performance and said bood-bye to the amusement loving public of :this city, a Manager Aldrich - finds , that with the poor patronage given, them it would be im possible to. continue to carry this city on their list. 2nd another town will be placed on the circuit instead. As Mr. Aldrich stated in making his farewell announcencnt, it was with regret that they were , compelled to cease their visits here, as. those who had support ed their show had done so with en thusiasm and loyaJty, but practically the same people had been there on each night, and at the low prices the company iould not make their ex penses. .With, one. or two exceptions the attractions brought here by the Empre&s ompany have been of a very high standard and have always proven most pleasing to the patrons, but it is easy to see that with the attendance at the theater and the prices charged it kas impossible for them to break en on the .proposition. The bill last evening was one of more, than exceptional merit and from star tjto. finish held the attention of the audience. Joe Kennedy, the roller skater, fefiv a 'number of stunts which demonstrated his great skill on the .rollers. ndwas- one of the cleverest acts of its. kind ever given in this city. Archer & Carr, in their songs, were of an exceptionally high class and their clever comedy proved most entertain ing to the pleased audience. The Five Foolish Fellows gave a number of pleasing songs and their quartet was one of the best that has appeared on the stage at the Parmele theater for some time. One of the big features of tbetun-wag that of William Hale and Brother, &ff?3si&5uggHng act, and it would be hard-to find anyone who could equal their clever stunts on the stage," and every one of their many novel features of the evening's enter tainment was enjoyed very much by everyone and it was with great regret that the audience saw the curtain fall for the last time onj the vaudeville company, and will miss their attrac tions. VecySl-" YOUNG MAN'S LEG TAKEN OFF BY CARS AT GIBSON Last night Joe Jindra, who resides at 1702 South First street in Omaha, met with a very serious accident in the Burlington yards in Gibson, anl which resulted in the loss of the left leg of the young man. It seems from the accounts of the accident that the young man was riding on a moving freight train and when near his home jumped off the train and with the icy condition of the ground the young man fell and his leg was caught be neath the wheels of the train and mangled in a very severe manner. It was stated that the young man was starting to this city, where his grand mother, Mrs. John Bukacek, is very ill, and desired to see her, but the trip was never finished, as the accident will lay him up for several weeks, al though it is thought that he will probably recover. Mr. Jindra is 25 years of age and is unmarried, making his home with his parents. "THE TRAIL OF THE LONESOME PINE" AT THE By special arrangement with Klaw & Erlanger, Gaskell & MacVitty will present "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" at the Parmele theater tomor row (Friday) night. The play is made from the book of John Fox, jr.. by Eugene Walters, the author of "Paid in Full," and many other notable suc cesses. The book has had a reading accorded but very few stories and its sales have surpassed the million mark several times. The play has had a long run in all of our larger cities. It was for forty weeks at the New Amsterdam theater. New York City, and for almost an equal number at the Chicago opera house in Chicago. Gaskill & MacVitty, who are direct ing the tour, have the exact replica of the original scenic equipment used in its long run in New York City. The interest manifested here indicates that the play will be well patronized. You know that the paper line is ours, and if it is in this line see us first. The Journal office. NOTICE TO PAY UP.

They can only put a stop to such things as they did in this city, - by arresting and fining heavily those parties that are guilty of juch acts. One or two ar rests will put a stop to the thing for a time and they will have to follow the first arrests with a few more to thoroughly establish in the minds of this class they cannot' furnish intoxi cants to anyone forbidden to have it, under, any consideration. Nebraska City police made one or two arrests for such things and it had a good ef fect and now there are some , people who either oat of a disregard for the law or think the police have tired of enforcing it and are therefore violat ing the same again.

He is still drawing that salary, but in addition thereto he is receiving $1, 000 per month as royalty from oil flowing from wells that have been drilled on a little patch of land that he owns inside the town limits of Greybull. Long before oil was struck within the town limits of Greybull, Rogers bought four town lots, pretty well out in the outskirts. They cost him a lit tle more than $100 each. An oil strike was made at Greybull and subsequently wells were sunk on the block adjoining the one in which Rogers owned lots. Oil men came to him and wanted to buy his lots. He would not sell, but he made a lease, it providing that the parties taking the lease could drill wells and he be given a royality. Drilling was commenced and continued with the result that on the Rogers lots there are now four producing wells and his royalty on the oil amounts to $1,000 per month. However, he still wears his greasy overalls, works nights and draws his $90 per month from the Burlington. CLOSE OF THE REVIVAL AT THE CHRIST IAN CHURCH Wall Paper, Paints, Glass, Picturi Yarning. Frank Gobelman. The revival services which have been conducted at the Christian church for the past three weeks by the Rev. C. E. PerLee, pastor of the church, were closed last evening temporarily during tha holiday season, as the near approach of Christmas brought on a very heavy demand on the time of the pastor and the members of the congregation, and which would not permit of the time necessary to carry on the work of the meetings. During the series of meetings a great deal of interest has been created and the church has been crowded almost every evening, while the result of the meet ines has been to bring a number for ward to take their stand in the work of the church and of the Master, and the result has been very satisfactory to the members of the church. It 13 expected that at the close of the holi day season there will be a resumption of the services, as the feeling has been that they have proven of muc hbenefit to the church and the community. Dance at German Home Saturday. There will be a big Christmas dance given at the German Home ou Satur day evening, December 18th, and a cordial invitation is extended to all to be present.
