our,
"BEST" JANUARY SALE
"Best" is surely the right
word to describe our January
Clearing Sale. This event
means the "best" clothes in
Lincoln, because we use
'eternal vigilance in their selec
tion and require them made
up to highest standards; it
means best in style and best
in workmanship; it means
best selections because you
choose from the biggest stock
in this great state; it means
best prices, because we al
ways undersell all others, and
now, during this sale give
you anywhere from 20 per
cent to 50 per cent off from
the original prices. And it
also means best satisfaction
that comfortable feeling,
confidence that all wearers of
Armstrong Clothes have in
their apparel.

DIE JN MAD RUSH.
Children In a Panic At an English
I Theater.
Sixteen children were trampled to
death and forty . others, several of
whom cannot live, were injured in a
mad rush for better seats in an en
tertainment given in the public hall
at Barnsley, England. There was a
great crush to secure admittance to
the entertainment and when the doors
opened every seat was taken and the
gallery was literally packed with chil
dren, who filled the aisles and dan-'
gerously massed against the - lower
railing. With a View, to relieve this
crowding in the gallery i the attendants
decided to transfer some of the chil
dren to the body of the house and one
usher called out: "Some of the chil
dren come down stairs. '
Immediately the rush started, and
within a few seconds hundreds of chil
dren were being trampled underfoot.
Tiie scene was a terrible one. The
cries, of the injured and moans of the
dying caused the greatest excitement
among thos who gathered in the body
or the hall. Police and ushers rushed
to the head of the'staircases, which
were litterally strewn with dead and
dying and by the most desperate ef
forts managed to drag scores of the
struggling children to the corridors be
low. It was with the greatest difficulty
that a panic among the children in
the lower part of the house was avert
ed, all -of these eventually being taken
to the street in safety. j ,
