Local theatre goers will have an op-

success "The Famiiy" the first half of j
next week at Boyd's theatre, in (tmu- J
ha, beginning Saturday night, April , j

proclained "The Family" as virile a J

"Humor, easy to the point of topical

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

Never was a political party any more

democratic party at this time over the

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
