A superb company of players will be

dramatized by Grace Livingston Fur

and decided hit from the moment of its
first production and has in no degree
lost any of its beautiful and pleasing
powers to catch and hold in its entranc
ing and fascinating spell the hearts of
its hearers and delight them with its
strong heart interest, its delicious, high
class comedy, as pure and rich as the
crisp and sparkling wit, fresh from the
pen of a master hand who has in one
grand stroke, reached every passion of
the human soul. Tho piece will bo cor
rectly staged and costumed in every de
tail. The book has been very widely
read and as the play closely follows the
book, it will be an evening of rare en
tertainment for all.

Attempt to Hold up Engine Crew.
Engineer Andy Liddell nnd Fireman
W. L. Smith were the victims of an
attempted hold-up in tho Grand Island
yards early Friday morning, but they
had sufficient courage to hold their
own. The freight had just pulled into
tho yards and the engine was standing
near the lower yard office. Tho train
had hardly stopped when three hoboc8
climbed over the tender nnd one of
them poked a gun at Liddell, Smith
nnd tho brakeman who was on tho
engine. Though tuken by surprise, tho
three men proceeded to get busy, not
withstanding the npparent determina
tion of the hobo with tho gun. The
brakeman struck the hobo over the
head with his lantern, Engineer Liddell
turned a stream of hot water on tho
three intruders and the fireman grasped
the coal pick. Not expecting such a
resistance the hoboes took an immediate
leave. Later in the day the police
picked up two men, one of whom
showed evidence of having been burned,
nnd the other had a gash on his head.
After being placed under arrest they
admitted their guilt, and gave tho
name of the third hobo, who at last
account had not been apprehended.
Kearney 18, North Platte 6
The Kearney high school defeated
the local school team in a gnmc of foot
ball Friday afternoon by a score of
eighteen to six on the home giounds.
The visitors came to town possessed of
a number of new plays that were some
what mystifying to the home team, and
throughout the game the visitors had
the best of it. Kearney went into the
first with a series of fast plays, the
forward pass being used to advantage,
as was also tho open formation scheme.
North Platte made but little headway
in bucking the visitors' line, and tho
latter made n touch down and kicked
goal early in tho opening half, while
the locals failed to score. North Platte
tied the score in the early part of tho
second half through a fumble by a
Kearney player, Halllgan getting tho
ball and going nearly the length of the
fiedl made a touch down. Kearney re
doubled its efforts, and sent a player
through the line for a touch down, and
this was followed by a long end run
by another Kearney pl.iyer and
another touch down, making the score
eighteen to six in favor of the visitors.

Duplex Draft, and almost as
quick as you can say "Jack Robinson" your fire is
burning briskly and hotly. And you can shut it off
with equal ease. You have perfect control of the fire in
a Monarch Range.
Because, the only way outside air can come in is
through the damper drafts, just where it should, and
nowhere else. No ai can leak in through imper
fect openings around the oven and flues.
In most ranges these seams are steel riveted to steel
md daubed with stove putty.
And in a few weeks t le expan
sion and contraction, of the
metal caused by heating and
cooling opens the seams and
the putty falls out.
Then the trouble begins.
Cold air comes in through the
opened seams around the oven.
You burn the fuel but you don't get results.
It's like trying to warm the room with the windows
wide. open.
And after you do get it started, the openings bckw
arotfhd the Damper, Ash Door, and other openings
get in their work, and keep the fire going like a
miniature blast-furnace impossible to shut off and
ravenously eating up good coal.
Worry and waste that's what you get with a range
like that.
Now, the reason the Monarch doesn't act that way
is because it can't the construction won't permit it.
The Monarch is not made of cast iron and btecl,
bolted and puttied together.
Instead it is made of Malleable Iron and Wlls
ville polished Sheet Steel.
Around every opening and all through the lange
are Malleable Iron frames ilvetud tight and solid to
the range body.

There is no possible chance of the seams opening
up and causing air-leaks, fust to kill the fire, and
then keep it blazing when you don't want it.
Perfect fire control is assured in tho Monarch by
the Duplex Draft.
Tho ordinary range draft is perhaps at one
end of the fire-box, and the fire burns well In
front and not at all at the back. Or it is across
the left side of the stove, and being made with a cast
iron plate, leaks air through the loose construction.
The Monarch Duplex Draft consists of a damper or
door at each end of the Fire-box, and one handle moves
both doors. The current of air from both ends makes
the fite bum evenly, and causes a uniform heating of
not only the top, but the oven as well.
But the work you most dread is blacking and
keeping your stove clean is it not ?
This is all overcome with a Monarch. The tops
and lids arc of Malleable Iron, which, in addition
to its other good qualities, is easily kept clean. It is
nerves nil frazzled,
