; At tne opera nouse, tne omooaras
| announce we are to have “Buster
Brown,,’ his dog Tige, his father, hls
mother, hls grand-mother, Marv Jane
and hls large retinue of pretty girl
friends. “Buster Brown” Is the most
successful hero of the plotorial fiction,
j Successful as pictured in the prints
arid more so wnen idealized upon the
stage. Tills success can be attributed
'' to the faot that the many strenuous
events of hls many sided career appeal
to,everyone in an audience, from the
ragged urchin, perched up In the gal
ls^ to the staid man of business oc
cupying the higher priced seat below.
Everyone who sees Buster recognizes
the human nature in him. The boy
,deslres to emulate him, the man is
parried back to the days when he too
bePame involved in boyish scraps that
suggested the slipper cure to hls
mother. Then, too, Buster is a stage
preatlon fairly exudes mirth. Bis
pareer is a dance—a laugh—a song or
inarch—a perfect kaleidoscope of
rapidly moving ohanges, each of that
entertaining kind that envolve pure,
ivholesome enjoyment. Johnny Mc
Cabe, who plays Buster, is conceded to
be without a peer in the creation from
Outoault’s brain; D. J. Murphy as
Tige; and Babe Hudson, who makes
an ideal Mary Jane in size and ability;
and a big chorus of forty, including
the famous "Buster Brown Ponies,”
Me all exceedingly clever. Prices 60

Brick Made from Sand
Alnsorth Democrat: Richard
Osborn aud John Roach were the first
, Of Jthe week exhibiting a brick whioh
they made from pure sand by means
of electricity. They have been work
ing on this proposition for some, and
in fact made a number of small bricks,
but last Saturday they manufactured
1 a brick of almost the size used in
i building. It was made by means of
Eli Sawyers electric blower, and the
finished product! is a surprise. It is
lighter than the day or cement brick,
although the sand it was made from
was very coarse. The finer the sand
tbe smoother the brick will be. The
brick is gray in color, and will polish
beautifully. They are considering the
matter of building a plant to manu
facture this product.
Life.
Blair Tribune: Man unwillingly
comes into tbe world with a shrill cry
if protest, and when he is forced to
eave it he objects still harder.
In his babyhood he Is a darling and
m angel. In his boyhood he is a tit
le devil. In his manhood he is any
thing from a mouse up. In his busl
3ess life lie Is a fool.
If he kites a check he is a thief, and
the law raises the devil with him. If
be is a poor man be has no sense, and
Is for no account. If he is rich, peo
ple call him dishonest and wonder
where he got it. If he enters local
politics he is a graffer and a crook. II
lie remains out of politics, he is no*
public spirted and is underslble as a
citizen. If he attends church he is a
hypocrite. If he stays away from
church he is a sinner, and ills soul is
enternally damned. If he donates to
any charitable cause, he does it for
show purposes or to buy a seat In
Heaven. If he falls to donate, he is
mean, stingy, and a tight wad.
When lie comes into the world
everybody wants to hug and kiss him.
When tie leaves the world most peo
ple hate him, If he dies young his
friends refer to what might have been
his great future. If he lives to a ripe
old age, he Is simply in the way, try
ing to save funeral expenses. So what
the H-is the use?

We, the undersigned electors of

county, Nebraska and residing within
five miles of the road hereinafter de
signated most respectfully represent
that the seotlon line between section
thirty-one, township twenty-nine,
range eleven and section thirty-six.
township twenty-nine, range twelve
in Holt county, Nebraska has never
been condenmed or legally established
as a public hlgh-way, but that a great
many years ago, a portion of said line
between said section heretofore
mentioned was used by the public
and occasionally all of said line had
been used by the public as a public
hlgh-way; but that said section line is
not now used by the publio as a public
high-way or any portion thereof; that
the public more than seven years ago,
totally abandoned and deserted said
section line and that said pection line
ever since said time has been totally
abandoned and deserted by the public
as a public high-way; that said section
line, is not a suitable or lit place for
public travel and to travel said section
line, would the greater portion of the
year endanger the lives and property
of those traveling or attempting to
travel said line, in this; that the Elk
horn river orosses said section at or
about the half section line thereon;
that there is no bridge, or other suita
ble crossing at said river and that
said crossing, now is and at all times
in the the past has been in a very un
safe and dangerouscondltion and that
north of said river and almost entirely
across said section line, there is a
large and deep lake, whloh is impassi
ble the greater portion of the year;
that it is not for the wellfare of the
publio that said seotlon line be travel
ed, or that it should remain open for
public travel; beoause there is a
public hlgh-way running parallel with
this section line, one-half mile east
thereof, and your petitioner therefore
respeotfully requests that sa<d section
line be closed and that an order be
entered, vacating said section line.
