NINETY-NINE per cent of the people of this country are taking advantage of the Credit Plan at Christmas. If it isn't this store's plan it is some other.

i AMUSEMENTS Bishop Fowler. Omaha Been The eloquent bishop more than realized the expectations of his friends, and the lovers of the quaint, simple character of the great master of the Rebellion became almost his worshippers by the time the concluding sentences of the bishop's oration were pronounced. He is an easy and delightful speaker, with a voice of wonderful flexibility and strength. Next Monday night at the Coliseum. -X- -X -XHoyt's "A Trip to Chinatown." The New Phillips will present as its attraction next Wednesday, Dec. 21 Hoyt 's roaring coined v "A Trip to Chinatown." Somehow there seems to be an immeasurable strength in the Hoyt trade mark which appeals to the most fastidious as well as the masses. This fact is ve ry forcibly demonstrated by the large audiences which always greet the presentation of a Hoyt play. "A Trip to Chinatown" as a fun producer has eclipsed all records and was considered bv the author as his greatest success both artistically and financially. Bright, breezy and entertaining, full of catchy music and rid iculous situations, it is the best of tonics to drive away the "blues" and scatter dull care to the winds. This season the play will be embellished with all the latest and best musical successes of the most popular authors, and a first class company of comedians headed by William A. Inman, is promised. -X"My Friend From Arkansaw." One of the greatest successes of the past dramatic season was Robert Sherman's production of the four act comedy drama "My Friend From Arkansaw." It is again meeting with the same success this season, for the people who witnessed it before are appreciating it better, and discovering new beauties in its presentation. This drama will live for many seasons for it is a clean healthy play and decidedly interetsing. My Friend from Arkansaw is full of heart interest, rich in comedy and possesses strong dramtic scenes. It tells a pretty and strong story in a simple direct manner, and certainly those who en joy heart-reaching stories in drama tic form cannot afford to miss it The above play wil be seen at the New Phillips Theatre today, mati nee and nirht. "The Katzenjammer Kids." If you have an enngagement for the evening of Tuesday, December i 20.postpone or cancel it, for the cel ebrated fun-creating farce-comedv. , "The Katzenjammer Kids," which has made the people laugh in all the principal cities of America, is head ed this way and will positively ap pear on that date at the Gennett Theatre. Now be up-to-date, secure your seats early and attend this show or you take chances of being

classed as a Mobster' and 'behind the times.' The .company includes such well known artists as Baker & Lynn the premier delineators of Juvenile comedy Wally Clark, the poplar German comedian, Robinson Sisters, Acrobatic Marvels, Major Criquie, the tiniest comedian before the public, Day and Vestal, Novelty Act, William Baker Monologue comedian. Jo-

sie liaison, chic soubretie, Geo. V. Baker, character comedian and many others equally well known to fame. "JT TS The Life-Boat Service. That the Lyman II. Howe Moving Picture Co., is ever on the alert for presenting their patrons with subjects novel as they are intensely interesting and educational, they again prove this this season by presenting for the first time in America a comprehensive reproduction of our life boat service, showing with fine detail every incident commencing with the "hx'k out, the outside of the lifeboat house, the dash for the boat, the launch, the ship wrecked in the raging, the signals of distress and "When for a moment , like a drop of rain, They gink into the depths with bubbling groan, Without a grave, unknelled, uncoffined and unknown." Then follows the answer; the heroic life boat crew comes to the rescue, and returning to shore, attempt resuscitation, beach their boats for future dangers, and go away. All this is given in sequence and with an authenticity that enhances the educational value of all Mr. Howe's program as no others do, and makes the exhibition at thev Gennett Theatre on Wednesday evening, December 21st, deserving of your patronage and support. -X"Queen of the White Slaves." Sensational mysticism, as portrayed by the Elder Dumas and other great novelists, is the predominating key of " Queen of the Whit Slaves" the stirring melodrama which A. H. Woods, formerly of the firm of Sullivan, Harris & Woods brings to the Gennett Theatre, Saturday, Dec. 17th matinee and night. The play was written by Arthur J. Lamb in four acts and sixteen scenes and is described as being a gigantic cyclone of sensational incident, without giving offense to the murals of any theatre-goer. It contains a strain of weirdness which is particularly novel in these days of the conventional melodrama, with their set characters and rubber stamp scenes and situations. It has as one of its central characters a de tective who is not an assinine Hawk shaw but on the contrary, a manly voung fellow, who rivals Sherlock Holmes in his cleverness, accomplish ing results in detecting crime and punishing evil doers in a logical man ner. There are twenty-seven speaking parts in the play, many of them being a distinct tvpe of character, re quiring clever interpretation. As for the production, it is only necessary to say that two cars are required to transport, the scenery and effects. The scenes representing the den ot the "Terrible Nine," the "Chamber of Death," "Dead Man's Corridor" and the raft m the middle of the Pacific ocean, will surprise every spectator by the beauty and novelty of their construction. Included m the cast are such well-known artists as Ailleen May, Rose Braham, Ada Lane, Alma Estee, Alfred Britton and J. E. Miltern. Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That Contain Mercuhy. Hall's Family Pills are the best, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucuous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputa ble physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,. Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials free. Sold by Druggists. Price 75c per bottle. t No other remedy on earth is so srood for children as Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea, makes them eat, sleep and grow. Bright eyes, rosy cheeks, 35 cents. Tea or Tablets. A. G. Luken & Co. Notice Life insurance companies will reduce the rate 33 per cent, to all who agree to use Hollister's Rocky Mountain Tea. A wise measure. 35 cents. Tea or tablets. A. G. Luken & Co.
