MMBWWM Two Nights Friday and Saturday and Saturday Matinee. I have been requested by so many to run the Passion Play that I have decided to present it two nights.

Though never robust, Mrs. Samel son maintained her usual health until several years ago when she sustained severe internal injuries from a fall, since which timo she has been in a practically helpless condition. Death was to hdr a welcome visitor ns it meant release from a long period of suffering. Born In Sweden more than, oovonty fivo years ago, with Tier husband and family sho emigrated to America in 1870, coming nt once to Lincoln county, and shortly nfter to North Platte, where she has since resided. For thirty years a widow, her husband dying when her youngest child was but six weeks of age, by her own efforts she succeeded in raising a large family. Mrs. Samuolson was a devout chris tian from childhood. Her piety was without ostentation. Almost from its organization she was a member of the local Lutheran church, regular in her church duties until prevented by physi cal disability, invariably taking up the bible upon her return from service to study the scripture presented. She is survived by four daughters and threo sons as follows: Mrs. John Sandall, Mrs. Robert Brown, of Hnna, Wyo., Mrs. Ernest Wesche, of Choy .enne, Wyo.. Alfred, Charles, Harry and Miss Emma Samelson. Besides these immediato members of her family she leaves two brothers and threo sis ters, viz: Peter, Claus and Miss Emilie Mylander, Mrs. A. 0.

Tho election of Taft means peace and nrnsneritv. It means that tho iob will again begin to Beek the man instead of tho man the iob. It means an end to harmful wrangling and a fairchanco for orderly progress to maKo headway, it means the nrcservation of all tho good that is in tho Roosevelt administration and the elimination of that which is bad. It is not Btrango, therefor, that as Roosevelt republicans supported Secretary Taft before his nomination. so now every faction of tho party, each finding nbundant reason tor sympathy, is ready to salute him.
