"The College Boy"

Playgoers can laugh with clearer
conscience at "The College Boy" than
at almost any other musical comedy
now before the public. Bernard Riggs,
the comedian, is possessed of spark
ling humor that is irresistible, his
work lacking the coarseness and horse
play that sometimes mars the work
of others. The many and hilarious
comedy scenes are worked up by
legitimate and refined comedy situa-
tions, and a laugh in every line is no
eXaggeration in this case. All the in
terpolated musical numbers are entire
ly new this season and the acting and
singing cast is the best this company
has ever had. The management has
spared neither time nor money in
making The College Boy" one of the
best night attractions on the road.

Was Abducted-Finds Mother.

Wayne, Neb., Nov. 12.-Accosted on
the street by stranger who informed
her that the man and woman whom
she supposed to be her father and
mother, were not even related to her,
but that her real father was dead and
that her mothers brothers were
wealthy and prominent people living
in New York state, and the reveal
ment of a life story that seems like
a novel, was the shocking and mys-
FERROUS incident that not long ago hap
pened to Mrs. E. Lundberg, formerly
of Wayne, and Carroll, but now of
Eugene, Ore, particulars of which
have just become known here.
1t was while Mrs. Lundberg, her
supposed maiden name being Blanche
Shuts, was visiting at the home of
her supposed parents in Atkinson,
Neb., that her real name and the mys-
terious story of her life was revealed
to her by the stranger.
She was told that her real name
was Eva Bennett and that her parents
and the Shuts family lived as neigh
bors in Rega Falls, n. Y, at the time
she was born. One day when she was
about six weeks old, Mrs. Shuts went
to the Bennett home and took her
home to care for during the day, Mrs,
Bennett being unable to do so because
of her own serious condition. In the
evening some one went to the Shuts
home to bring her home, but the
house was found vacant, the SHUTS
family having disappeared, taking Eva
with them, up to few weeks ago no
trace of them was ever found.
After hearing the strangers story,
Mrs. Lundberg wrote to her mother
in New York and they were soon
united.
Her parents had spent many years
in searching for her and had given
her up as lost.
Mr.. Lundberg is well known in
north Nebraska, having lived in Wayne
county most of his life. Besides being
a lawyer, he has been editor of three
Wayne county papers. Last spring the
Lundbergs moved to Eugene, Ore.

evidence on phonoaraphs.

Chicago. Nov. 12.--That grcwsome
figure of speech, Listening to Il voice
from the grave has become a start
ling reality.
Any unbeliever to verify tins stass-
ment, has only to visit the Office of
Coroner Hoffman some time in the
near future, and hear the voices OF
murderers make their last denials o.
detailed confessions after they have
paid the penalty for their misdeeds.
These voices of the dead are to be.
come q portion of the county records.
The verbal statement of a man who is
dead seldom finds its way into courts
at present, except as repeated by an
other, but this Is one of the promises
of the new system
Coroner Hoffman discovered all Of
these possibilities when, n few days
ago, he installed a battery of phono.
graphs to be used with his steno-
graphic force. The monographs have
already been used in one important
case--that of Mrs. Fannie Thompson,
who was strangled in Michigan ave.
nue. rooming house.
Long Row Of Records.
There was long row of the wax
cylinders, and each had its own story
to tell. Some of them related to in
juries of men and women who had
fallen from trains or street cars, some
of suicides, and others of the various
cases which reach the coroner.
In a corner of the room in which the
coroner preserves the voices sat a
young woman, whose busy fingers
were transcrbing the words of various
witnesses to paper for duplicate
which are kept just as the old ones
were.
The coroner brought this novel
means of taking testimony into play
first because of restrictions as to ste
nographers which were placed upon
| his Office by law. Originally the
deputy coroners were called to write
all testimony out in long hand. Cor
oner Hoffman, however, convinced the
state legislature that this method was
inadequate, and has obtained permits
sion to hire a stenographer. This
stenographer now is aided by the rec
ords just as they are used in business
houses. The coroner believes they may
| be of great use in court

The Cost of Advertising.

The unawake merchant often won
ders how some rival "can afford to
spend so much money for advertis-
ing" He is sure that he could not
that it would bankrupt him in short
order to plunge" into publicity on
the scale that the other fellow does.
THE other fellow" is not worrying
about the "cost" of his advertising for
the simple reason that he doesn't have
to pay it. The competitor who can
not afford" to advertise really, in
effect, pays the bills of the man who
can afford" it.
He pays them in the loss of bust
ness caused by his failure to adver-
tise. The business he ought to have
his "Share" of the trade in his line
goes, in large part, to the competitor
who seeks it, who can afford to adver-
tise for it. The profits on the trade
drawn away from the timid advertiser
by the aggressive one pays the lat
tcr's advertising bills-and leaves a
comfortable surplus.
This is a fact which progressive
merchants are proving all the time
so it ought to have some personal
significance to the overcautious pusi-
ness men who are waiting to get rich
before "riskingp adequate advertising
campaigns.
