Col. Keithley has formed tho circus

about him. On Monday he attended

the circus again. We placed him in
charge of the religious editor who

quilt out on the lawn, where he "skun
a few cats," turned somersaults and
hand-springs for their enjoyment. II

make money rn the imjiossiblo shell

Parker lost $25, and seven or eight

who gets beat at any sort of a gamb
ling device gotten up for the sole pur
pose of stealing his money is not de
serving of much sympathy. The
game is built to beat the public, and
if it did cot work, it would not be
played, and again in a gambling
game, the man who wins is no worse in
the eye of the law than the man who
loses.

HOME -TALENT ENTERTAINMENT;
A Prisoner of War" to lie Presented By
.FIiHsmoath s Talent.
Arrangements are now being com
pleted for the roost novel entertain
ment tbat this city or any other city
in Nebraska has ever had the oppor
tunity of witnessing. Some years ago
a number of prominent New York
ers aeretd to tfive a benefit to the
actors' fund of New York. On account
of the heat it whs feared the attend
ance wou'd bo very slim. The project
was about to be given up, when it
dawned on them that this objection
could be overcome by giving it out of
doors and selecting a play suitable to
outdoor presentation.
Shakespeare's beautiful comedy.
"As You Like It," was finally con
sidered the most fitting bill, aud was
produced on Staten Island in the pres
ence of more than 2,000 spectators.
This performance has been followed
by many more of a like character
throughout the eastern states. The
idea has never been tried here, but in
tho course of a couple of weeks Platts
mouth talent U inaugurate this
style of ontertainment in Nebraska by
tho presentation of the mo3t succssful
war drama of the 6tage, "A Prisoner
Of War."
This pieco is "particularly -suited to
outdoor presentation, being full of ac
tion and diarr-ttic situations. Tho
performance will bo given by our best
local lalont, directed by a orofestdon
al actor and stage director, Mr.
Charles Nelson, who, it will bo re
membered, was hero as staye mana
ger of tho Madison Square Comedy
Co., early this season.
Mr. Nelson has, since leaving the
company, been engaged in work simi
lar to what is contemplated here, and
has staged successful productions in
Nebraska City, Weepiny Water and
other towns in Nebraska. Ho has a
thorough knowUdge of the details
necessary for the wo k. and with the
able co-opera'ion of on- local a list
will undoubted y m ike th.ir oat-door
performance the event f the -tisiiu.
We will announco i iu earl o' the
pi iy and further par ieuia- in !!
near future.
A Cordial F;ir-e".
The members of the Get m tit F. auca
verein No. 1 and a f.-w other friet ds
of M s. J. V. Egenhcrtrer, jr., were
splendidly entertained at that lady's
home in this city yesterday afternoon.
The special reason for the gather ing
was a formal good-bye extended by
friends to Mrs. Egenberger, who will
leave soon for her fut jre home in S ill
Lake City, where her husband has a
good position.
The homo was beautifully decorated
with flowers gifts from her friends
and guests. A nice luncheon was
served, and Mrs. Egenbergor proved
a charming hostess, and her many
friends will miss her kindly resence
and gracious manner.

How It Was.
Two reasons why the democrats
wanted the office of -oroiior:
First They were afraid that if the
"pops" elected coronor that ho would
sit on the corpse of tho democratic
party.
Second The "pops" got treasurer
which is tho head of the ticket and
coronor which is the tail of tho ticket,
and it would look as though tho demo
cratswho got about all that goes be
tween these two offices, were swal
lowed. Hence they wished the tail of
tho ticket, so as to have a convenient
hole to crawl out of.

ABOCT TUE FLAG.
To the Editor of The News:
Will you kindly permit me to reply
to the article signed "C. S." in last
night's issue of The News, regarding
the old flag of Company A, First Ne
braska Volunteer. It implies a doubt
of .riffht to keep it in my posession. It
has been in our family since the close
of the war, having been presented to
my husband by those in authority for
saving it from the euemy, and carry
ing it during the rest of the battle
after the color bearer had been 6hot
down. When the regiment was mus
tered out, the flag was given to Mr.
Weils, as being the 1 ist color bearer.
and there has never been a doubt
raised as to our right to keep it.
When I can think that the public has
a better right to the old flag than I
have, I shall undoubtedly put it in
the rausoum, but until then I think I
have a perfect right to keep it in my
own possession and consider it a sa
cred relic which 'my late husband
prized too highly to place in the
hands of the public Very Respect
fully, Mrs. Wm. L. Wells.
The Shell Game.
The oldtime worn shell game,
which always goes with a circus, was
on in all its glory today,to the sorrow
of several farmers who ran against it.
Most of them' refused, to tell their
names, after they were bitten, but we
learn that a man named Carroll lost
$5, a Mr. Bates $20, while Wm. Fer
guson lost $5 and a gold watch. The
rumor that Amos Burtnott - had lost
$40 is denied.
Several others wore touched, and
the sheriff was kept busy trying to
keep people from losing their money.
