Big Number at the Boyd Democrats V Y Y Y Y A. Badly Divided Temperance Question Rock Upon Which Tarty is Impaled. , "The Family" Will Play First Half of Next Week. ! Local theatre goers will have an op- ortunity to see Henry Miller's latest j success "The Famiiy" the first half of j next week at Boyd's theatre, in (tmu- J ha, beginning Saturday night, April , j 22th. The new play was produced in ; in Chicago last month anil scored an in-; Htant success. The critics of that city j proclained "The Family" as virile a J drama as "Paid in Full," or other re-1 J cent American successes, and muchj healthier in tone. "It is," says the Chicago Daily News, "A beautiful a o o INCHES homespun genuine drama. Henry Mil ler has introduced his line play to a pympathetic public. A more intensely moved, emotionally absorbed and de lighted audience could scarcely have been built to order." "It gripped ami moved the audience last night," says the Chigago Tribune, "as an audience at Power's has not been gripped and moved in a lorg time, and tears and laughtar were blended throughout the j entire performance. Of such plays we cannot have too many Y Y Y Y Y Simple, JL Case Separators Are simple in construc tion, durable and long lived, have great capa city, require less power to operate and are money-makers. tender and true these are the inevit-1 t able adjectives for "Ihe Family' " says j J the Chicago Inter Ocean, "it is native in every stroke of its simplicity and;?

The Chicago Examiner says: "Humor, easy to the point of topical ness, guides and guards against the common place. And it also saved the little tragedy from striking too hard.

They story of the play tells of a young girl who became infatuated with the drum major of a traveling minstrel show and elopes w ith him. The girl's mother discovers that there has been no marriage, and without appealing to either her husband or her son, takes the affair into her own hands. The last scene of the play has been called by the critics the most beautiful do mestic picture ever presented on the stage. During the Chicgo run it evoked a remarkable series of last act curtain falls, and the audience seemed reluct ant to leave the theatre at the end of the beautiful play. Like Henry Miller's other noted success, "The Servant in the House," which was presented at Iloyd's theatre for a week last Janu ary, "The Family" is played by a cast !

I am convinced that this is the best ma chinery made, and if you will read all I have to say of it during the coming sum mer you will have a pretty well defined idea of what I mean when I say "best."

Y v f Never was a political party any more ; up in the air over a question than in the' democratic party at this time over the 'temperance question. The daylight saloon bill was passed with the idea that it would satisfy the temperance. i people of the state and entice theni into : the democratic party. I l!ut the legislature reckoned badly i and Governor Shallenberger, who signed j the bill, has begun to reap the reward of the man who goes back on his j friends. Sunday night the pulpits m j Lincoln were occupied by lay member-! I of the various churches, who discussed the temperance question. C. C. Flans- burg, who is the head of the temper ance forces in this section of the state, j denounced the 8 o'clock closing law ;w I one that would prove unsatisfactory. I He told the audience that the 7 o'clock closing law had been unsatisfactory i:i Lincoln and that it had not curtailed the sale of liquor, but, on the other hand, he said the statistics kept on one saloon showed that the crowds which went to the bar and bought liquor just before the closing hour and carried it away made total sales equal to the sales under the old rules. Consequently he gave to Governor Shallenberger n- cedit for signing the act the Ugisla ture passed. To complicate matters for the demo crats, Kichard L. Metcalfe has made a definite statement of what he believt ; should be the attitude of the democrat i" party in the next campaign "The democratic party should de clare for county option," said Mr. Met calfe. "Personally, I am opposed t' state-wide prohibition, because it can not be enforced, but I am in favor of county option, and if the democrats are to be successful they must declare for county option. The S o'clock law is a move in the right direction, but it will : not satisfy the people who want conn option." j (Arthur Mullen, Governor Shnllen- berger's r,erlord, is for the S o'clo closing law, and he believes the passage of that bill by the democrats is all the party has to do in the temperance lino for many years to come. It was bis idea that the passage of that measure would put the republicans up against it, but the numerous knocks corning in against the governor indicate the day light bill is taken as a "sop" to tho 'temperance people and a double-cross n- k elet Corn at $50 Per Acre The Lie:ht Situation loading woman in "Heartsease" and "A Marriage of Convenience."
