PLATTSMOUTJI SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL.
DATE CHANGED IN
'THE WINNING OF
BARBARA
WORTH
Coming to the Parmrle Monday
Night, May 3. Instead of Friday
Night. April 30, as Hereto
fore Advertised.
Theater-goers who enjoy a pood,
whcJesome drama of the great "out
doors" will welcome the coming of
the new Studebaker theater, Chicago,
production of "The Winning of Bar
1 ara Worth," a dramatization of
ilark Swan of the famous novel by
Harold Eell Wright, wh'ch comes to
the Parmele theater Monday night,
May 3.
"The Winning of Barbara Worth"
stands forth distinctly. In a season
which came with an on-rush of sex
plays, a representative managerial
firm offers here a drama of grit and
manliness, love and fidelity, two big
and important things. And into it
has been poured a fortune to show
that there are among those who con
trol theatrical destinies believers in
productions that teach instead of ex
pose; that entertain in stead of shock.
The dramatization shows a gripping
prologue and three acts. The scenes
are all laid in the great American
desert, the reclamation of which at
the hands of the earnest men and
faithful women is the theme. The
love-story intertwined is of the old
fashioned sort, in which a woman of
ideals awaits a man of red blood
couraee and mastery.
Earbara. the waif of the desert, left
orphaned in the hollow of the hand of
fate, parched and delirious, falls into
the arms of Jefferson Worth, the sort
of man that the men were who made
ihe western wastes bloom. She grows
beautiful and tender. He grows rich
and powerful. The patriotism of the
west gets into his blood. He loves
the child and she becomes his daugh
ter. She had developed into a lovely
woman, nurse to the Mexican ranch
ers, sister of mercy to the Apache
feminine disciole of the souare deal
There are many men who look upon
her wistfully. But she has set her
self a mark which the man who wins
her must reach first he must be a
leader of men. He must be a leader
for men.
William Holmes, en eastern en
gineer, comes. He proves himself
that man. His test comes in the de
feat of the intrigues of a band of
speculators who are exploiting the
early reclamation improvements for
dividends. A great disaster follows
when the Colorado river tears out the
flimsy bulwarks erected against it
The ensineer turns against the
gamblers who employ him and fights
to save lives. He wins.
"In every crisis there must be a
leader" says the girl, "lou were
the man."
Behind every leader there must be
the faith and courage of a woman,"
he answers. "You were the woman."
And we see them water-soaked;
high but dry, in each other's arms,
amid the wreckage of the elements.
They have nothing to forgive. They
have no past to live down. It is a
sweet ending to a clean play.
UTILE FOLKS HAVE A FINE

SPRING WEATHER RIGHT
NOW IS VERY ENJOYABLE
The bright warm spring days in
this part of Nebraska are certainly
ideal ones that makes the "spring
fever" appear in its most pronounced
form and brings out upon the high
ways of the county the motor
vehicles, of which Cass county pos
sesses an abundance. There is noth
ing really more enjoyable than a trip
through Cass county at this time of
the year, when nature, awakening
from her long winter rest, is stretch
ing forth her tendrals from every
tree and in every blade of grass,
while in the hearts of men the sea
son's greeting finds an echo. The
earlier fruit trees, such as the cherry
and plum, are now beginning to
bloom and the fragrance from these
blooms drifts for miles over the hills
and valleys of our county, and surely
charms anyone who feels in the
slightest a love of the beautiful and
fair in life. The fields, where the
farmer has planted or is preparing to
plant the crops that makes this one
of the most productive counties in the
state, all exhales the breath of spring,
while patches of wheat and alfalfa
afar off on the hills lends a touch of
green to the landscape that is prcpe
tic for the harvest soon to come. Get
out in the open and enjoy the sights of
old Cass county, the garden spot of
Nebraska.
CELEBRATE "NEBRASKA'S
SEMI-CENTINIAL IN 1917
Lincoln Journal: With the legisla
ture out of the way and politics in
abeyance for the better part of a year,
Nebraska is free to consider its ap
proaching fiftieth birthday anniver
sary. On March 1, 1317, less than two
years hence, Nebraska will end its
fi.-st half century of statehood. The
state cannot aft'ord to let this date
pass without fitting recognition.
At the age of fifty years a geogra
phical state should begin to accmul
pte the sentiment and the vision out
of which a spiritual state is built. This
birthday comes, fortunately at a deci
sive period in the fortunes of Ne
braska. Nebraska became a state in
1867. It was not until many years
after that, twenty or thirty, accord
ing to individual opinion, that it be
came certain of establishing itself as
a great, rich state. The years of
struggle for existence are now passed.
Nebraska has von economic freedom
on the basis of i.n assured agriculture.
The time has come to consider the
future use of that freedom. The com
ing semi-center nial presents an op
portunity to sum up Nebraska's
achievements, to encourage a just
state pride, and to create an en
thusiasm for the great future which
can be built for -Nebraska.
It is not too soon to be thinking of
the form which the recognition of the
ccming date shall take. The celebra
tion should be as broad as the state,
and should be all inclusive in spirit.
It should not be a mere flash of a day
or a week. It should be the culmina
tion of months of attention to the
building of the past and future Ne
braska. Perhaps from the state uni-
ersity, whose existence is practically
identical with that of the state, might
well come the central inspiration
from the university and its every
where present alumni. But all Ne
braska organizations and interests
should join in making the semi-centennial
an epitome of Nebraska's past
rnd present and a prophesy of its
future.
PETITION TO GOVERNOR
OF GEORGIA FOR CLEM
ENCY TO LEO 11 FRANK
There has been a general movc
rr.ent. inaugurated throughout the
country to send to Governor Slaton o2
Georgia petitions requesting him to
grant to Leo M. Frank, of Atlanta
Georgia, who was convicted there of
the murder of Mary Phagar., a fac
tory girl, executive clemency. The
man was convicted, it is claimed,
through prejudice against his raco,
and the verdkt of the jury fouscht
ihrough the state courts and federal
courts to the United States suprei.-.e
court, where yesterday the court re
fused to grant a writ of habeas corpus
and affirmed the judgment of the state
court, and now the only recourse is in
the clemency of the state executive.
H. Simons and R. M. Shlaes of this
city will circulate a petition here aK
irg for the signatures of those who
believe that Frank was wrongfully
convicted, and the same will h rc.it
to the governor of Georgia.

LINGERED UNTIL HE
GOT MORE AT THE HANDS
OF JUDGE ARCHER
Frnm Tuesday's Hall v.
On Saturday evening Grey Jackson,
who claimed that he expected to 1)
employed on a farm a few miles south
of this city, and who was evidently
suffering from an overdose of old red
eye, was gathered in by the police
and kept in the safety of the city jail
until Sunday morning, when he
promised to appear in the court of
Judge Archer Monday morning, and
ic was hoped that perhaps he might
shake the dust of the city from hs
feet, but instead of Grey doing this
he lingered in the city and thereby
his downfall occurred, as instead of
sobering up yesterday morning he
brushed up his jag and was finally
rounded up by the police, who, deaf to
his entreaties and promises, thrust
him into jail, where he remained un
til yesterday afternoon, when he was
riven his deserts in the court 'of
Judjre Archer, who placed on him
the sentence of ?;2 and costs, and in
failure of his settlement of the same
was committed to jail, where he will
rest until Thursday to satisfy the
feelings of outraged justice. It was
feared that if he was released he
would further indulge in the flowing
bowl, and he is safe'at least for three
days from this danger.

IF YOU LIVE IN THIS TOWN
YOU SHOULD BELIEVE IN IT
From Wednesday's iTally.
If you live in this town, you should
believe in it. If you do not believe
it is a little better in most respects
than any of its neighbors, then you
ought to move out. Like other places
it has advantages that others have
not, and should not prevent you
from making that fact known when
ever the opportunity presents itself.
At home or abroad, whether pur
suing pleasure or engaged in busi
ness, do not neglect to give those
with whom you come in contact to
understand that you live in the
liveliest kind of a town, populated by
interesting, wide-awake, go-ahead
people and one that is always ad
vancing. If you can't speak truthful
ly in commendation of the profes
sional men, the square dealing meth
ods of the merchants, the excellence
of the men who labor in shop or mill,
the superiority of the churches,
schools and other public institutions,
and the engineer and sobriety of citi
zens, let nothing prevent you from
exercising that privilege.
Learn to believe also that in addi
tion to living in the finest town in
the state, that you have the finest
country surrounding it. If there are
iny drawbacks, why mention that?
The people and the newspapers of
competing towns will not neglect
that task. Strangers seeking new
locations are always influenced in
favor of any town whose citizens are
enthusiastic in its praise. No city
expects to obtain prominence over
its rivals unless its inhabitants ap
preciate the excellence and virtues of
each other and will collectively spread
abroad their faith in the present pros
perity and future greatness of their
locality. Talk is a cheap commodity,
out when rightly utilized it can be
made effective in many directions and
this is one of them. Fremont Herald
SUIT FILED IN DISTRICT
COURT INVOLVING THE
AMOUNT OF $20,000.00
From Tuesday' D.ittv.
A suit involving some $20,000 dam
ages was filed yesterday in the dis
trict court by Gust Johnson against
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
lailrcad and Frank Schlatinski. The
plaintiff, in his petition, states that he
was employed on and prior to April
30, 1914, by the defendant railroad
company as assistant foreman in the
freight car department of the shops
here and that the defendant, Schlatin
ski, was employed there also and sub
ject to the orders of the plaintiff as
foreman. There was received at the
fhops on April 20th a large furniture
or automobile car upon which there
was ordered placed a platform on the
roof, as well as grab irons, and the
defendant, Schlatinski, was placed at
work on the car to repair it according
to instructions. It is further alleged
in the plaintiff's petition that the grab
irons and platform were placed on the
car without being fastened as they
should be, and in a careless and
negligent manner allowed to remain
there without being fastened to the
car. The plaintiff had been informed
by. Schlatinski that the car was com
pleted on April 30th, and accordingly
he had started to climb up on the car
to inspect the work and when near
the top took ahold of one of the loose
grab irons, with the result that he
fell to the ground, a distance of some
twenty or thirty feet, and sustained
severe injuries that have incapacitat
ed him for work, and that he w3 con
fined to his bed for seven weeks and
has since been unable to walk without
the aid of crutches, and for these in
juries, which it is alleged were due to
the carelessness of Schlatinski, an em
ploye of the defendant railroad com
pany, Mr. Johnson asks the sum of
$20,000 damages. The plaintiff is
represented by Matthew Gering of
this city as counsel.

JAMES INGWERSON ES
TABLISHES RIGHT TO SHARE
IN ESTATE AS AN HEIR
The case of Jamea Ingwerson vs.
Richard H. Ingwerson, et al., which
had been occupying the attention of
the district court, was concluded yes
terday, when the attorneys concluded
their argnments and submitted the
case to the jury for judgment. The
jury was out only a short time and at
2:30 p. m. returned a verdict finding
for the plaintiff and awarding him the
sum of $50 damages, which was ask
ed for, as well as the establishing of
his rights to the estate of Frederick
A. Ingwerson, deceased, who passed
away at his home near Nehawka, on
September 1, 1882, leaving the widow
end several children, among them the
defendants, as heirs of the estate. In
the will the widow was given a life in
terest in 120 acres of land, as well as
the use of 120 acres more until the
youngest heir should be of age, when
120 acres should be divided among the
heirs, and at the death of the mother
the entire estate should be divide!
among the heirs. The final settle
ment was had in 1808 and the division
made without the knowledge of the
plaintiff. In 1913 the widow of Mr.
Ingwerson passed away and the chil
dren divided the estate, leaving ihe
plaintiff, James Ingwerson, without a
share in the estate.
In the suit just closed t'r.2 issues
vere contested quite warmly, as the
defendants set up the claim that the
plaintiff was not entitled to share in
the estate by reason of nat being a
son of the deceased, Frederic Ing
werson, but this view was net taken
by the jury in finding for llei HniniilF,

CHIEF RAINEY PREVENTS
. A RIOT RY MAKING A
SCATTERMENT OF HOBOS
Yesterday afternoon Chief of Police
Eainey was called down to the spring
on the way to the Burlington bridge
by a small-sized riot that was being
indulged in by a number of hoboes
v ho were assembled there enjoying a
rest and lunch. The disagreement ne
iween the parties was ended when they
caught sight of the chief, and they all
made a break for a freight train that
vas passing and made a. getaway,
with the exception of one of the men.
who was taken in, but later allowed
to go on his way. This, spring, is a
lavorite roosting place of the hoboes
and frequently a large number of
them congregate there and make ft
necessary for the police to operate
against them, as they make this thou
headquarters when traveling over
town "touching" from the residents,
but the police have managed to keep
them moving very well, -although oc
casionally they are able to sneak in
and proceed to "touch up" the homes
in the residence section. .
Receives a High Honor.
Charles Jelinek of this city has just
received a copy of a paper published
n Vienna, Austria, which conveys th
information of a high honor that h?.s
befallen one of his cousins, Gustaf
Jelinek, a member of the Austrian
artillery, which in the early stages of
the war was such a factor in the pro-
ress of the Austrian-German armie?
He saw service during the advance on
Antwerp and was present during the
bombardment of that city. The em
peror of Germany has conferred on
him the iron cross for bravery, and
the emperor of Austria has advanced
him in rank. It has been many years
since the members of the family hero
have heard of their relatives, and
their whereabouts were unknown until
the news found in the Vienna paper.
