United States senator he has been
prett, uniformly unsuccessful.

Pierre has at last received its re
turns on population and the figures
show that it has made a gain of H.
$50 or about 81 per cent during the
past ten years. Pierre now has a
population of 1866. However, Pierre
has made good per cent gain. She
hadn't much to begin with ten years
ago, hut if the same rate of increase
is kept up a pretty good showing will
be made in the future.

Had Senator Gamble been a man
who was looking ahead to make
mark for himself in the United States
senate, he never would have been SO
blind to the opportunity that he let
slip by when he signed the majority
report ending Senator Lorimer, of
Illinois, entitled to a seat in the
United States senate. Senator Gam
bic was member of the committee
that heard the evidence in this case,
and he had an opportunity to show
what kind of metal he was made of,
but he lacked the moral courage that
it takes to make real statesman.

Grinnell Glee Club Dec. 20.

The enthusiasm with which the Grin
nell College Glee Club was received
at the concert given Tuesday night
was not alone due to the fact that a
large number of persons formerly iden-
tilted with Grinnell, but now living in
Lincoln, were amcng the audience.
The organization is almost ideal of the
kind. The individual voices are good
and they have been trained to remark
able precision. The harmony of the
voices and the perfection of style with
which each song was presented made
the concert genuine pleasure. The
organ effect in the blending Of the bass
voices was especially fine. The num-
bers on the program were of serious
order but plenty of college songs of
humorous nature were added for the
one or more encores demanded after
each regular number. Nebraska State

ACTUAL STARVATION
Facts About Indigestion and Its Re-
lief That Should Interest You.

Althoug Indig estion and Dyspepsia
are so prevalent, most people do not
thoroughly understand their cause and
cure. There is no reason why most
people should not eat anything they
desire-if they will only chew it care
fully and thoroughly. Many &C ually
starve themselves into sickness through
fear Of eating every good-looking,
good smelling, and good-tasting food,
because it does not agree with them.
The best thing to do is to fit your
self to digest any good food.
We believe we can relieve Dyspep-
STA. We are so confident of this fact
that we guarantee and promise to sup
ply the medicine free of all cost to ev-
cry one W no will use 1t, who is not
perfectly satisfied with the results
which it produces. We exact no prom.
Uses, and put no one under any obliga-
tion whatever. Surely, nothing could
be fairer. We are located right here
and our reputation should be sufficient
assurance of the genuineness of our
offer.
We want every one troubled with
Indigestion or Dyspepsia in any form
to come to our store and buy box of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Take them
home and give them a reasonable trial,
according to directions. Then, if not
satisfied, come to us and get your
money back. They are very pleasant
to take; they aid to soothe the irritable
stomach, to strengthen and invigorate
the digestive organs, and to promote
healthy and natural bowel action, thus

ton and assimilation.

Tablets furnishes Is days treatment.
In ordinary cases, this is efficient topro-
