Plattsmouth's new theatre . was
opened last night under the most fav
orable auspices. Everything seemed
to work in harmony to make the affair
one which will be lonp remembered
by the theatre-goers of this city.
Words utterly fail 'to convey an idea
of the striking magnificence and beauty
of the interior of the structure. Hun
dreds of incandescent lights, which
line the stage, balcony and ceiling, re
vealed a picture of rare 'beauty and
one which people gazed upon with
wondor and admiration.
The drop curtain, which. is certainly
an artistic piece of work, represents a
scene of the twelfth century, during
the occupation of Jerusalem by the
Christian crusaders. It was the work
of William Grabach of Omaha, he hav
ing also painted the other beautiful
Bcenery belonging to the theatre.
A ISlff Audience.
Shortly after the doors were thrown
open people began to flock to the new
play house. The ushers performed
their duties, with a promptness and
grace which was certainly commend
able. VI s:ou, wnen me urciiusbr. ic
gan to play, the house was Glled by
one of the happiest and most enthus
iastic audiences which has ever at
tended any theatrical entertainment
in Plattsraouth. If the attendance lat-t
"night can be considered an indication
of the future the mnnagoment can have
no cause to fear that their efforts to
supply the people of riattsniouth with
a long-felt want will not receive sufli
cient encouragement.
R. II. Windham's Speech.
Just before tho curtain rogo, and
after the overture, 11. B. Windham
left hi9 seat in tho parquet and passed
to tho stage. As this was unlooked for
curiosity was excited to know what
was com inc. Mr. Windham, after
looking at the audience for a moment.
which was quiet with expectancy, said
he was impressed from the manner of
his reception that his appearance on
the stage had not boon taken for Clay
Clement, which sally was greeted with
laughter and applause. He stated
that ho would not have tho ladies and
gontlemen think for a moment that he
had so far lost himself under tho in
fluence and inspiration of tho magnifi
cent and impressive surroundings as
to madly take to the stage, for such
was not his intention, but he could not
let the occasion of the opening of so
grand and useful a building pass with
out expressing his personal thauk9 and
appreciation and that of this commun
ity to the builders, Messrs. C. C. Par
mele, T. E. Parmele and James Terry
berry, for their public epiritedness in
giving to the public such a useful
structure. The speaker said he had
never looked into the faces of a Platte
mouth, audience that' expressed so
much pleasure and happiness, and that
they had good reason for being happy;
for nino years, since tho burning of the
city's first opera house, which was
built through tho public spiritednefrB
oi Mr. Waterman, wo nave bad no
suitable place for theatricals, conven
tions or first class entertainments of
any kind the halls of the city being
limited in both capacity and comfort.
But now, through the generosity and
liborality of the Farraeies and Mr
Terry berry, we have a building of
which tho "whole city can foel proud.
and from the stage of which the drama
could be enjoyed and would be enacted
In its highest and most elevated form,
and from which we would also listen to
the eloquence of tho orator, the wis
dom of the statesman and, perhaps, the
woes of the politician; a building in
which would be held conventions and
public entertainments, all of which
would go to 'elevato, instruct and en
large the minds of every man, woman
and child in the community.
"And to whom are wo indebted for
all these advantages?" .the speaker
asked. "To the gentlemen whom I
GOOU ENCOURAGEMENT
have named, and to whom this fine as
semblage return their thanks and sin
cere apprecinKion.''-" (Loud applause )
The speaker said ho had allotted him
self three minute In which to mako
his talk, but before stopping he wished
to impress upon tho audience that
Plattsmouth nover had more to be
thankful for than it had for what had
v mnit.iA i,hi .h n-nt
been accomplished within tho present
year; that only a . few months ago, up-
on the bill, we bad dedicated a high
school building, within the walls of
which the youth of the city would re
ceivo instruction and development of
mind that would be felt for good in
every home in the city; that just a few
blocks down street there would be com
pleted soon a fine public library build
ing a placo for our boys and girls to
epend their time profitably, instead of
in idleness, nnd from which knowledge
and education will be deceminated i

handkerchiefs, rise to their feet and

a final expression of our good. will."
Here tho whole audience arose nnd
waved their handkerchiefs three times
towards each of tho boxes, making a
beautiful nnd impressive sight.

Too much credit cannot bo given
Clny Clement and his clever company.
From the time tho curtain roso for the
H v '
iominion, until tho end or the last
act, tho undivided attention of the I
audience was kept throughout. Mr.
Clement as Baron Franz Von Iiohen-
staufTen rr n . .
siauuen gave an excellent representa-
f (i . ... I

yUalul merman aia.ect gave the play

play is that it contains not a wnrd

Quotes a Few Things from Bryan's
Book Other News.
Congressman E. J. Burkctt spoke at
this placo Saturday evening to one of
the largest and most enthusiastic
gatherings which has turned out to
any political meeting during the pres
ent campaign. Long before the meet
ing began every available seat in
Waterman hall was occupied and even
standing room was at a premium.all of
which goes to show that Mr. Burkett
is very popular . in this part of the
country.
The city band furnished the music,
and xV. L. Tidd,ln a neat little speech,
introduced the speaker. Mr. Burkett's
speech, taken as a whole, was not only
an instructive one, but humorous.
The speaker's referenco to tho num
erous "paramount issues" which Bryan
is springing on the people created
much laughter, and when he informed
his hearers that the republican party
had but one paramount issue namoly.
the progress, welfare nnd happiness
oi tne
Americm nation, there was a
storm of applause, during which a
number of fusion voters left the ball.
h'he speaker gtited that he did not
wonder there were so many free silver
republicans in the country, when it
u ' j . r j. j
was remembered what Bryan predicted
four years aeo if McKinley was elected
starvation, depression in business
and other calamities too numerous to
mention, and none of which had come
to pass. Mr. Burkett quoted from
Bryan's book,'"The Firdl Battle," in
I which the prediction is made that if
the republican party continues in
power it will "take the bread from one
man's mouth and put it in anothei's."
Ho said that he had nover seen such
fat and healthy h oking people as he
has during his present campaign tour,
which shows that there is something
wrong with Mr. Bryan's prediction.
Tho prediction made by Bryan that
the republican party removod a man's
opportunities to work was alsodvvolt
upon by the speaker, to the amuse-
entof tho audience. He then plainly
I explained his views of imperialism
