THE HOME OF SATISEACTION
TIE SENIOR US PLAY LAST EVEH
IHG OME OF THE BEST EVER PBESEMTED
An Immense Audience Present at the Parmele to Greet the Young
Ladies and Gentlemen, and Each One Acquitted Them
selves With Great Credit.
From Wednesday's Daily.
. Superintendent Abbott and the
senior class are receiving the
congratulations of the friends of
education today on the splendid
success of the class play riven in
the Parmele theater last evening
to a crowded house. The mem
bers of the class taking part in
the performance last evening are
entitled to much praise for the
artistic manner in which each
played his or her part. The
masterly skill of Mrs. Dovey and
Mr. II. S. Austin in the presenta
tion of the farce and play was in
vidcnce from the time the cur
tain went up on the first scene
"until it finally descended on the
last act of the comedy.
The farce, "The Mouse Trap,"
was a laughable production, the
leading parts being taken by Dur
wood Lynde as Willis Campbell,
and Mi3s Hilda Brinkman as Mrs.
Somers, a widow and financee ot
Willis. The play opens with a
heated discussion between them
on the topic of sufTrage and moral
courage, in which Mrs. Somers
maintained that women are pos
sessed of this element of char
acter in a higher degree than
man, and after some argument, in
which Mr. Campbell seems to be
considerably bested by his fiancee.
He imagines that he sees a mouse
under a table and inform. Mrs.
Somers, who at once mounts a
divan standing near and is in
this position when the door bell
rings and Jane, the maid, a part
most aptly taken by Miss Anna
Rys, enters the room with the
cards of two l.-.dy callers. No
sooner has Jane entered than she
takes in Hie situation and mounts
the diviin with her mistress. Wil
. lis .Campbell spends some time
and eil'ort in trying to induce both
to li,nve their ludicrous positions'
before the ladies who had sent 1
their cards in by J.me should'be
ushered into the room, but no
amount of persuasion would move I
them
Mrs. Miller ,in the person of
Miss Svea Johnson; Mrs. Iteniis,
in the person of .Miss Fannie
Will; Mrs. Curwin, in the person
of Miss Irene Harlwick. and Mrs.
Robert, sister of Willis, in the
person of Miss Lulu Welch, each
mounted some article of furniture
as Mrs. Somers explained her
reason for her exhalted position
on the divan. Each lady had some
bit of sage advice and remark on
the moral courage of woman, un
til, on the suggestion of Camp
bell's sister to all scream and
unake a concerted rush they could
escape with their lives. This
done, all left the room except Wil
lis and Mrs. Somers, who still per
sisted in remaining on the divan.
Willis made himself a hero, as
j the curatin descended by seizing
me rorm or his liancee and carry
ing her from her perilous posi
tion. Each one having a part in
the farce acquitted themselves
well, and are deserving of more
detailed mention than our space
will permit.
The college comdey, "The
Sophomore," was one of the finest
productions ever presented by any
home talent players in this city.
The leading parts in this three
act play were taken by Matthew
Herold as Robert Stewart, star
fullback, and Miss Mildred Cum
mins as Hope Alden, daughter of
Prof. Alden, M.A., B.B., of the col
lege. These parts were support
ed by Henry Egenberger ns
"Buster" Brown, manager; John
Falter as "Bud" Kennedy, captain;
Oiirwood Lynd as Livingston.

physics; Miss Marie Donnelly a9
Aunt Mary Scott, Miss Marie Rob
erlson as Cousin Matilda Dwig
gins, and Miss Fern Long as
Violet, a servant.
The difficult part of the old pro
fessor of physics hearing a
recitation in that study, as given
in the first act, was extremely well
produced by Mr. Austin. The act
opens with a class room scene, in
which the class appears to be
awaiting the arrival of the in
structor, but the lime is occupied
by an animated discussion of the
aiinroaehinir foolhnll mmn in
which the honor of the university
is at slake, and the star fullback,
Robert Stewart, is apt to be bar
red from the game on account of
his low grade in physicls. Th
.stuttering answers of Brown, the
apparent indifference of Bobby,
the keen thrusts of "Kink" Ban
nister, and the excited energy of
Livingston, with the unusual for
get fulness of Prof. Alden, kept
the audience in a roar during the
time this class occupied the
boards. At the close of the recita
tion Prof. Alden invited Bobby to
remain after class, and it was ar
ranged for Stewart to take up his
resilience for the three or frur
days intervening beforo the
crucial game was to take place,
and give his attention to physics,
where he would be near the pro-
fessor and get what necessary as
sistance tie should need in pre
paring for a final examination in
the branch in which he was de
ficient. The second act includes the
time spent in the home of Prof.)
Alden and discloses the objections
of members of the household to
the presence of the football play
er. In this act Miss Marie Don
nelly, Miss Marie Robertson and
Miss Fern Long are the principal
players. Miss Long took the part
of Violet, the maid, and her act
ing was superb, the part being de
lineated true to life; the parts of
the "finicky" relation by Misses
Robertson and Donnelly were also
well played.
The third act brings out the
climax of the play. The game is
called, and although the fullback
has had his examination, no re
port has been given by the absent
minded professor, and the game
begins without Bobby, and is
anxiously watched by Hope Alden
and Bobby, the fullback. The ex
cited stuttering manager, Buster
Brown, rushed to the 'phono and
attempted to call up Prof. Alden
to get a report on the grade of the
fullback. This difficult part was
played by Henry Egenberger in
such an able manner as to elicit
for him the warmest applause,
and many commendatory remarks
were heard concerning Henry's
rendition of his part.
The captain and the head coach
each took a turn at the 'phone
trying to locate the professor.
who finally strolled in when the
game was almost lost, to report
that Bobby had passed. The full
back was quickly hustled to the
field and then the tide of battle
turned, and from what seemed
certain defeat, the star fullback,
Bobby Stewart, wrested a victory.
The shouts of the players over
their victory appeared to please
the forgetful professor and soon
the team appeared with Bobbv on
their shoulders. He was deposited
on a table in the center of the
room and called on for a speech.
which ho gave. . The result was
the class yell, which was answer
ed from the audience bv the veil
of the class of '12.
The curtain fell on a touching
love scene between the profes
sor's daughter and the hero of
the game, Bobby.
We regret that we cannot
specially note the clever acting of
each member of the east, but lack
of space forbids. The command
ing stage presence of Bobby and
the clever acting of Hope Alden,
as well as that of Violet and the
football magnates, was favorably
commented on frequently today.
Many are the opinions that last
night's performance was the best
of the kind ever placed before the
Plattsmouth public.
The gross proceeds of the play
were 1188.25, which will net the
fund for the class of '11 about $80
or $t0.
Superintendent Abbott and the
'11 class are very grateful to Mrs.
Dovey, Mr. Austin, Mr. Holly and
his orchestra, Mr. Parmele and
the management of the theater,
Mr. Smith and the scene shifters
for their kindness in aiding them
in putting on the most creditable
performance that was produced
last evening.

Tulip Tree Blooms.
Mr. Carl Fricke is the pos
sessor of the only tulip tree in tho
city, which is now in full bloom.
The tree is a beauty and the blos
som is an exact copy of a real
tulip with heavy pistil, delicate
stems and tinted petals. The
sepals of the flower resemble the
green pea pod and the leaf of the
tree is perfect in shape. Tho tree
was planted about fifty years ago
by Parker Wise, well known to the
old pioneers of the town. The
tree has reached a height of fifty
feet and is a rare sight in this
climate.

That is one tiling to the credit

while some of them sell cigars

make a specially of pushing the
home product, which, as a general
thing, comes up with those manu

home brands because they know
they are the genuine stulT, and
our manufacturers merit the suc

their pleasure in becoming ac
quainted with some of Platls
mol uh's business men, am! for
two hours or more general social
conversation was carried on.
When Mr. Rupe, about it) o'clock,
mentioned that it was about time
for the train, Mr. Pollock said to
him:
"Mr. Rupe, the business men of
Plattsmouth wish to express their
appreciation to you and tho Bur
lington company for tho order
recently made fixing the brass
foundry permanent ly in Platts
mouth; you can hardly realize the
benefit this will be to our city."
Mr. Rupe replied that he "was
glad to know that the act of tho
company was appreciated by
Plattsmouth citizens, and that the
Burlington would be doing littlo
things for Plattsmouth right
along in tho future."
This friendly meeting of tho
company officials and the mer
chants of Plattsmouth was very
gratifying to President Pollock,
and he feels that it will be for tho
mutual benefit of the citizens of
Plattsmouth and the Burlington
company to cultivate this friendly
spirit.

A DOLLAR DREAM.
I'hey wanted him to buy a farm
A thousand miles remote,
In regions that were full of charm,
The proud promoter wroto.
The more he thought and thought
of it
The more he liked the scheme;
To think of it lie used to sit
And then he had a dream.
(Now, dreams are very foolish
things
Undoubtedly, it's true
Your brain put on ils fairy wings
And flies away from you;
And yet it seems that some of us
Our cash would never keep
Unless we learned a lesson, thus,
By falling fast, asleep.)
He had a dream a dollar came,
With tears its features wet;
A dollar came and called his name
In anger and regret.
The coin was shedding silver
tears
From out ils silver eye.
He asked I he reason for its fears;
The dollar made reply:
"They tell me you intend to send
Me many miles away,
They tell ine you intent! to spend
In speculation gay
The dollar that has been to you
A servant many years,
To send me to some region new
And hence these silver tears.
"I've lived in this community
Almost as long as you;
I've been in ev'ry family,
I guess, but one or two
But one or two who, sad to say,
Had such a scheme in mind
And sent, their hard-earned cash
away
Some other land to find.
"I am the dollar thai was paid
To Johnson for his wheat,
That Johnson gave attain in trade
To Murphy for his meal,
That Murphy gave to Smith, you
see,
For furnishing a knife,
That Smith left at the grocery
For candy for his wife.
"The grocer gave ine up to Jones,
Who runs the dry goods store,
And that the doctor set his bones
This Jones can thank me for.

And so the thing went on .
Each night I had an owner new
A new ono at the dawn.
A welcome waited when I came,
A godspeed when I went,
In fact, a thousand ways the same
On errands I was sent.
"But now you say that I must go,
A wanderer to be,
Afar from all the friends I know
Who know and honor me.
I wonder that you dare to look
Me fairly in the face;
And in your empty pockelbook,
Oh, who will take my place?"

The dollar in his hand,

"At last I understand."
