7 Tui3 famous play, originally produced at tho Madison Square theatre, New York, and for the past two seasons en-tour throughout the country, is one of those uniquely touching comedy dramas whose theme is drawn from ordinary daily occurrences, and heightened by the discovery that a reputed member of society is a famous burglar. Sus- pected and accused, he disappears for a while; but after an interval during which he is supposed to have died, he reappears and eventually caught robbing liia own wife's residence, although at the time its occupants are unknown to the burglar. The remark able midnight interview between the precocious child and the robber has no counterpart in the annals of dramatic History. The auditor's every sense is wrought to a lilglL tension, while every motion alternately played upon, make the scie one of absorbing interest. This play has been received with great and has drawn large houses -Iwherever produced.

In it, Miss Hi pie who was ppointed State Superintendent of Scientific Temperance Instruction, by that convention, makes an urgent ap peal to parents and citizens generally, to secure the enforcement of the law ordaining the teaching of the effect of stimulants and narcotics upon the human system in all the schools of this commonwealth which share in-public money. There seems to tie great negligence as to this matter in manv sections of the state. The Aunual meeting of the leachers Association held in Lincoln last week, passed a strong resolution, committing the great body of Nebraska teachers to increased vigor and fldility on this line. Save the children today; and you have saved the nation, tomorrow.

Uoe. lit! WERE HIGHLY ENTERTAINED Herrmann's Marvelous Performance at tho Opera House. Not Very Many PrcMeiit-Thc Auill- enco Were Well Satisfied Uy Far the Host l'lay of the Kind Fter Witnessed In Kenrney. Herrmann, the prince of wizards, en tertained a Kearney audience last even ing at the opera house house. To say that his sleight-of-hand performances are marvelous cannot by any means do him justice.

His adaptation of what is known as the "Black Art" is as fac- cinaling a3 it is apparently blood curd ing, and his manifest control over things in the nether world cannot but help play upon the imagination and create superstitious feelings among his audience. Those present were completely carried away with the wonderful personality of Mr. Herrmann himself displaying as he did a certain dry wit which kept them in good humor. Mme. Herrmann is an exceedingly beautiful and charming woman pos sessing the grace of an accomplishedac- tress and still retaining the distinction of being in every sense a lady.

While the first part ot the evening entertainment was indicative or a cer tain coldness and restraint toward the close Monsieur Herrmann could not ut feel that he had won a very warm place in the hearts ol Kearney people It takes time to educate the west up to appreciate a lirst-class play of this type, aud in saying this we are reminded ot one of our citizens who inquired very particularly if it was going to be simi lar to a seance, and whether it would be a proper place to take his wife. Now that the ice has been practically broken we can safely promise Herrmann on his next appearance a well tilled house. I'EHSONAli. -John Phillipar went to Shelton to day. -A.
