CONGRESSMAN CHAMP CLARK. ROLLER SKATES AND PICTURES ATTRACT CROWDS OF PEOPLE ON CHRISTMAS NIGHT. Skating Rink Furnishes One Accident During the Day--Gail Best Broke Two Ribs in a Fall. On Christmas day and evening the Roller skating rink and the Theatorium furnished the amusement for those people who were seeking something to amuse them, and not a few took a turn at the bowling alleys. Many people went out of town visiting, but a great many people can go and come and Nappanee hardly shows “where they are at.” With a nightly change of program the vaudeville picture show at the Theatorium is attracting several large crowds every night, the nominal admission fee of 5 cents is not a big price for a show and entertainment worth 25 cents, and thus the nightly change of the bill continues to bring the crowds. The roller rink recently opened by Ed Webster near the Theatorium on West Market street seems to be a great drawing card for the young people and the crowd has grown larger every evening as the days pass, and it skates more frequent. There is no limit to the time of those who pay 25 cents to skate, excepting suggested by the opening and closing hour of the rink coupled with individual endurance. One serious accident happened on Christmas day at the rink, Gail Best falling to the floor and striking in such a manner that his elbow struck his side and broke two of his ribs. He was assisted to the doctor’s office by some of those present. In all probability he will be laid up for some time. Notwithstanding this serious accident, there are few, accidents compared with the number of skates on the rink, and the large number of beginners. Mr. Webster intends having the rink enlarged by adding a temporary structure to the building if he finds the business will warrant the expenditure. Why Suffer Frbrrv-Rheumatism? Do you know that rheumatic pains can be relieved? If you doubt this just try one application of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. It will make rest and sleep possible, and that certainly means a great deal to any one afflicted with rheumatism. For sale by J. S. Walters. - tfIEZ * ! :. ■ Meeting of N. H. S. (Alumni.
