TLUCKIXG GOAT FEATHERS.
The Alliance Elks, a few weeks ago,
organized a vaudeville entertainment
A cast of twenty-five or more worked
three weeks in perfecting themselves
In their parts. They weren't in it for
the money. The Elks have a charity
fund, and it was an ringed that all ret
proceeds should go into the charity
fund. There was a big and happy
crowd for the performance here, and
the show got over welL
And ho the idea was conceived to
take the players to some neighboring
town. Again, there was no idea of
making any money out of it for the
performers. Chadron and Sidney were
considered, and the latter town was
selected because the Sidney live-wires,:
it is understood, are planning to get a
charter for an Elks lodge, and the
Alliance Elks wanted the people of
Sidney to know that it was a good sort
of an institution to have and that it
is alive from the neck up and down.
The Elks took their show to Sidney.
They were greeted by only a fair
house, but the crowd wasn't stingy
with its appreciation. The only diffi
culty that developed was when one or
two jokes were sprung upon a couple
of prominent citizens who apparently
had more dignity than common sen;-.
After the show, one of these leading
lights declared that he had no desire
to meet any memler of the Alliance
troupe. He shoved his hands into his
pockets and glared belligerently when
a friend tried to introduce him to some
of the Alliance people.
This sort of thing is all right, of
course, if a man happens to be the
kind of a fellow who'll do it, and the
Alliance folks promptly laughed and
forgave. The gentleman with the in
jured dignity did not. For the Sidney
Telegraph bears the following account
of the performance, with fairly good
evidence of someone's rancor. The ac
count transcends the bounds of good
taste and plain courtesy, but Alliance
visitors to Sidney will recall that on
former occasions, there have been
few people who have always managed
to spoil that city's reputation for hos
pitality. The Telegram says:
The much-advertised Elks' home tal
ent came down from Alliance Wednes
day night and put on their perform
ance to a crowded house at the U. S. A
The Alliance people were a fine i:nd
friendly bunch but their vaudeville :l'd

onerate Manager Chet Miller for a per
formance that was sans music, pans
acting and sans wit. Mr. Miller cer
, tainly gives his public some splendid
shows, one of rare merit recently i cen
here being the Brown Bros. Siophone
Six which put on an interlude of musi
cal vaudeville which was delightful.
They play, as a rule, only in large
theaters, but Mr. Miller knew his aiuii
nce when he captured them for here.
The Brown Bros, Saxophone .Six has
been contracted to open the ncv thea
ter in Denver, which is the largest and
best theater between Kansas City and
the coast.
After looking on this account, turn
to the columns of the Sidney Enter
prise, which has a somewhat tiifYrent
leport to make:
The Elks vaudeville company from
Alliance gave an entertainment it
the U. S. A. theatre here Wednesday
night to a crowded house, 1 h y were
a jolly bunch, clean and courteous
and made a hit with our people, ant
in a town with the talent Sidney pos-
. cesses, it means something to make
a hit in home talent productions, to
that no higher praise could be given
than to say the Alliance Elk. )let.sed
Sidney. We were unable to attend
but those who did speak highly f the
entertainment.
It is perhaps needless to observe, in
connection with The Telegram's dis
courtesy, that clean newspaper men
and citizens realise that there can be
nothing more contemptible than the
vriter who, to satisfy personal Fpite or
to oblige a generous friend, is willing
to color his news reports. The Tele
trram editor has labeled himself appro
priately by this action, and those who
will may see just how cheap a vaula
tion he places upon himself. He who
runs may read and he who reads will
hold his nose and run. ' I
other cow bids fair to win a place in
the annals of Nebraska.
The Nebraska cow belongs to John
Williams. One of the innumerable
state officials who are. going up and
down the state, inspecting everything
from hotel sheets to chunks of liver,
called upon John and after an inspec
tion, declared the animal had tubercu
losis and condemned her to die, accord
ing to state law made and provided
The Inspector, In his high and mighty
way, denied John permission to do
the killing himself and burn the car
cass on his farm. He insisted that the
animal be sent to Omaha.
John Williams' cow arrived at Om
aha, in due course, by freight. But
here, strange to relate, she passed the
tuberculin test with flying colors, and
was declared edible. The animal was
slaughtered, all right, and John got
$1C21 for her. It cost him, however,
$54 to get her to Omaha. He is loser
f-ome $3H, not to mention the cow and
considerable anguish and the risk of
overstrained blood vessels due to anger
and xaawation. There isn't any way
which he can be reimbursed for the
mistake, and so he and his friends are
that the North Star route rhall be built
in such a way that it will not be o
Alliance's advantage to push it to com
pletion. The G-P-C is more direct, and
is largely constructed. United action
will put it across. There is also a
possibility that the tat engineer's in
fluence can be brought to bear upon

GOOD ROAD NEWS.
In the trying days of the war, before
the tide of victory had definitely turned
n the direction of the allies, a common
expression was iNo news is goou

the year's best pictures, "Kismet," Otb
Skinners greatest stage success, done
into a photoplay by Robertson-Cole.
Otis Skinner takes the heavy role in
the picture. Like a romance from the
"Arabian Nights is the story of Mar
sinah, the daughter of a beggar who
lived in a rmote corner of the city of
Bagdad. Through the magic of the
fates she met with the caliph, whr
ruled supreme, and who promised that
she should become his bride. Then,
through the chicanery of a number of
plotters she was cast into a harem,
there to spend the balance of her life
Lost to the world and at the mercy of
the wickedest man in the orient, she
would have been swept into oblivion
had it not been for what the poet
call "Kismet." The story of the maid
will live long in the memory of all
who see the screen version of the cel
ebrated play.
