Kline’s Cinematographe, the favorite moving picture machine, with new scenes and new effects, will appear at Bosse's opera house on Friday and Saturday. May 20 and 21.

Daniel Yager was for many years manager of the Park Hotel, and while serving in that capacity gained a reputation as a firstclass landlord.

■ \ I, u mH S Walking the Floor. When a business man gets to the point where he cannot sleep at night, where he is so shattered of nerve that it is torture to even remain in his bed<| has to get up and pace the floor —it is time for that man to bring himself up with around turn. If he does not, it means nervous prostration and r ental, if not physical, death. For a man who gets into this condition there is a remedy that will brace him up. put him on his feet and make a man of him again It is Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It goes to the bottom of things. It searches out the first cause. When a man is in this condition you can put your finger on one of two spots and hit that first cause — the stomach or the liver or both. This great medicine acts directly on these spots It promptly transforms a weak stomach into a healthy one. It facilitates the flow of digestive juices and makes digestion and assimilation perfect. It gives a man an appetite like a boy’s. It invigorates the liver. It fills the blood with the life-giving elements of the food, and makes it pure, rich, red and plentiful. The blood is the life current, and when it is filled with the elements that build new and healthy tissues it does not take long to make a man well and strong. It builds firm, muscular flesh tissues and strong and steady nerve fibers. It puts new life, vigor and vitality into every atom and organ of the body. It cures nervous exhaustion and prostration. Nothing ‘just as good” can be found at medicine stores. I had suffered about eleven years with a p.m in the back of my head and back,’ writes Mr. Rola-rt Hubbard, of Varner, Lincoln Co Ark "I suffered for eleven years and spent a creat deal of money for doctors and medicine, but did not gel relief. Then I tried four bott’.tt, of the •Golden Medical Discovery’and improved grea - lv I sent for five more and now am glad to tell cverycne that I am in good health." To Cure Constipation Forever.

The captain is a fine looking man and it is safe to say he will make a record. His company has already been examined and he reports that out of seven-ty-eight men but three failed to pass.
