The report was prevalent In business cl
clcs yesterday that the Nonpareil had fallei
nnd the rumor1 had many preposterous storlc
tacked onto It ns It went the rounds. Thct
vrifa some color of corroboratlon given to th
minor by the fuel that no paper was Issue
yesterday morning , but this was In nceon
nnco with the ancient custom of that papi
to observe Christmas In the old fashioned at
country weekly style of skipping a numbi
for each holiday. The Nonpareil made 11
announcfiincnt the day before that no pap
would bo Issued on account of Christmas , DI
still this did not seem to account satlsfucto
Ily for Its non-appearance. The ofllco w
not open until late yesterday morning' , at
this , too , gave rise to n report that the esta
lishment wiis shut up. Then there was stl
stronger coloring Riven to the story win
there appeared on record In the cottntv r
corder's ofllco two tnortgnges , one on the re
estate nnd the other on the presses nnct in

Bluffs savings bank to secure the payment

Mr. Snyder , who Is the vice president
the Nonparicl company and manager of tl

thing was apparently running ns usual.
"The report of the Nonpareil lulling w

remarked. "Thcro isn't a thing In it , nnc
don't know how such n report could stai
unless It was from the fact of our not issuli
any paucrthls morning on account of Chrii
mas. Wo have made no assignment , and
not Intend to. There's no need of It. T
Nonpareil has got more than enough to me
every bill.'o simply gave the chall
mortgage to the bank to maUo secure wh
wo owed there. Tnero will bo nothing mo
done about It , nud It was simply a buslnc

UNLIKE TFA & COFFEE-GOOD FOR THE NERVES.
The claims of cocoa as a useful article of diet are steadily
winning recognition. Unlike tea and coffee , it is not only n
stimulant but a nourisher ; and it has the great advantage of
leaving no narcotic effects. Hence it is adapted to general
use. The strong may take it with pleasure , and the weak
witli impunity.
