is on our exchange table.
It is a 7-column folio , al | home
print , printed on book paper and
is replete with interesting mat
ter. The editor is new in the
editorial harness but he works up
in the collar like an old timer.
The mechanical department is

good material to work with he is
making the typographical ap
pearance of the Booster a dreaui
without a nightmare to mar its
beauty. The advertising patron
age consists of fourteen hand
somely displayed columns and
can.t help but create a feeling of
envy in the mind of the average
country publisher.
The Bellcwof Japan.
' A success that has no parallel ,
unique in conception and gor
geous in presentation is 'The
Belle , of Japan , " W. Waufsher's
latest offering , dealing with a
nation that has so recently be
come famous and is so rapidly
acquiring our European way of
living. It will no doubtbe ) a sur
prise for many to learn of some
of the customs that' are still in
vogue in that country , This
comedy drama is the first true
picture of present day life in
Japan. The play is not entirely
Japanese characters as one would
imagine , but has other interest
ing characters including an old
sea captain of the whaling ship ,
"The Nantucket , " his daughter ,
a young vivacious American girl ,
a young artist from America , his
old maid aunt , also an English
variety house owner , who with
an accomplice , a woman of the
world , cause most of the trouble.
One of the chief fun-makers is
an American kodak agent who
generally bobs up at the right
time. The principal Japanese
character is that of "Till11 an
artists model and Geisha Girl ,
which part is in the hands of
that clever commedienne. Miss
Mento Everett. The costuming ,
scenery and mountings of the
play are said to be beautiful.
That they must be novel .there is
no doubt when one stops to think
of the great opportunity the lo
cality of the play offers.
"The Belle of Japan , " will be
seen at the Opera Houce , Friday
evening , December 3rd. Seats
will gu on sale at once at Hoi-
comb's and Stockham's stores.
Value of Publicity.
A merchant in a small town
who saw a farmer receive goods
at a railroad station from a mail
order house told him he could
have sold the same goods for less
money and saved the freight be-
sidec. The farmer asked why he
didn't let people } know. Though
he had taken the home paper
regularly for years , he never saw
a line in it that such goods were
to be had. The mail order house
came after the trade and got it ,
Merchants and manufacturers
who fail to advertise what they
have ( should not expect to compete
with' those who do. The very
bestoarticles at the lowest prices
will be npasscd by when people
are unaware of their existence.
Probably if the merchant had .ad .
vertised and the farmer had
bought from him he wouldnt have
known that his advertisement had
brought the business anywayand
so wouldn't have given it credit ,
Publicity often reaches much
further than is outwardly per
ceptible. 'Exchange.
An Enjoyable Surprise.
A crowd of young people ,
friends of Mr. A. G. Montgomery ,
attempted to surprise him last
Friday night at the home of Mr.
Wash Rankin , but A. G. was too
sharp for them. Having learned
of the plans he entered into "the
arrangements also for a good
time.
About fifty , young and old ,
spent a very enjoyable evening at
the pleasent home of Mr. Rankin ,
playing games in the moonlight
the first part of the evening.
Later all participated in telling
yarns and cracking jokes until
their mouths were stopped with
an abundance of sandwiches ,
cake and fruit served by the
hostess Mrs. Rankin.
Mr. Montgomery leaves this
week to visit friends in Missouri.
Later be will enter college and
fit himself for the profession oi
teaching in which he is much
interested.

Meets beatli Alone.
Eliaha Sanders , a well-to-do
faainer and Grand Army man ,
*
about sixtyfiveyears old , living
alone on his farm near Milburn ,
died sonic time during Thanks
giving afternoon from what was
probably ptomaine poisoning.
The old gentleman , realizing
that he was in a dangerous con
dition , and not being able to
communicate with anyone , crawl *
ed to the stable , turned his horses
loose and allowed them to wander
to a neighboring farm , thinking
it woud attract attention , which
it did. When assistance arrived
he was discovered sitting in the
door sunning himself. A doctor
was summoned from Anselino ,
but could render no relief. Cor
oner Cole took charge of the
body and brought it to Broken
Bow , A son and daughter of the
deceased arrived from Osccola ,
Iowa , Saturday and will try to ar
range about settling up their
father's estate , which they may
find some difficulty in doing , in
asmuch as Mrs. Mason of Kearney
is alleged to hevc laid claims to
ha'ving married the deceased
eight years ago. As the wife of
Sanders has been dead only three
years this seems to complicate
matters not a little , A. J. Bow-
era , -an undertaker of Kearney ,
isautuority.for | the statemcntthat
Mrs , Mason has been investigat
ing the amount of property that
Sanders possessed.
The remains of the deceased
were taken by his Jchildrento Os
ccola , Iowa , for interment Sun
day.
Cures Disease With Salt.
Holdrege , Neb. , Nov. 20 The
"corn stalk' ' disease which affects
cattle and horses turned in the
stalks about this time of year ,
has been conquered by R. S.
Collitter of Bertrand. The rem
edy is as simple as the treatment.
As soon as possible he gives the
animals a quart or so of hot
water and after this is down
throws a handful of salt into the
animal's throat. He repeats
this in twenty minutes and if
necessary a third time. However
in all of the cases so far treated
in this oouuty the third dose has
been unnecessary.
