FLOATER TAKEN OUT OF PLATTE RIVER TODAY There Is a Posibility That It May Be C. S. Wortman, Who Mysteriously Disappeared Two Weeks Ago. "THE SECRETARY OF FRIVOLOUS AFFAIRS" AT THE AIR DOME The Mutual masterpiece which will be presented this evening at the Air Dome will be one that is certain to please the most exacting movie fan over, as it is one of the most interest ing society dramas placed on the screens by the Mutual company, and its title, "The Secretary of Frivolous Affairs," point to its protrayal of the modern American high society, while interwoven with it is a most entranc ing mystery story. May Allison and Harold Lockwood are the stars of the production. The story of the play, in brief, is as follows: Upon the death of their father, Loulie and Josephine learn that in stead of being wealthy heiresses, they are practically penniless. Fortunate ly, Loulie secures the position of sec retary to rich Mrs. Hazard, becomes a great social favorite, and the latter's son, Hap., falls in love with her. One evening, while dancing with the Due de Trouville, Natalie, with whom Hap has been infatuated, loses an emerald bracelet, and accuses Loulie of being the thief. Then follows a series of jewel thefts and Winthrop, a young author, in love with Hap's sister, Laura, is arrested. One night Loulie, suddenly awakened, discovers thieves at work, whereupon she is seized, bound and taken to a lonely cabin. The household is awakened and a search begins. Hap, who has been knocked unconscious by one of the thieves, re vives and joins in the pursuit. In the meantime Loulie has escaped from the cabin, later falling unconscious upon the beach, where she is found by Hap. At the Hazard home the duke, who is discovered in the act of steal ing valuable pictures from the gallery, and Mrs. Cutler, another one f the guests, turn out to be the jewel thieves and are brought to justice. Naturally, this stirring climax is fol lowed by exquisite love scenes, in which Hap, Loulie, the exonerated Winthrop and Laura are the prin cipals. W. F. Truelsen, wife and little son of Omaha were here over Sunday visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Parker, and other relatives and friends in this city. YOUNG MEN'S SHOES! THE way Our Shoes come across with nil th Hnwn-to-the-minute styles has made a hit with Platts mouth Fellows. They represent the finest grade of Shoe-making and best materials. Every man who wears a pair says they're worth the money. Ask to see the nobby Young Men's styles in patent colt, gun metal and swell tan leathers. They really are "different!" $4, $4.50 and $5 This morning shortly before noon "Dad" Childers, who resides near the Platte river, just above Oreapolis, made the discovery of the body of a floater about a mile west of the rail load bridge in the Platte river. The body was that of a man well advanced in years and as far as could be learned at noon there were no marks of identification on the body, and to judge from the appearance of the corpse it was a man some 45 to T0 years of age, but it had been in the water some time and the identification was very hard. There is a possibility that the body is that of C. S. Wortman, who disappeared two weeks ago from the home of his daughter in Ashland, and of whom there has been no trace found. As soon as he was notified Sheriff Quinton departed for the scene to take charge of the body and to discover, if possible, some clue that might settle the question of whether or not it was the body of Mr. Wortman. The body was landed on the island in the Platte about a mile above the bridges by Mr. Childers to await the arrival of the sheriff and county coroner to take charge of the remains. FISHING PARTY TO GEDAR GREEK BACK; REPORT GOOD TIME -Fetzer Shoe Go.- GOOD SHOES The fishing party which has been at Cedar Creek for a few days enjoying outdoor life and the pleasures of try ing to snare the finny tribe, yesterday broke camp and returned home to this city with a good record of the num ber of fish landed during their stay in the vicinity of Cedar Creek. The party was composed of John Kirkham, Albert Kheinackle, Frank McCarthy and Will Mason, and were reinforced on Saturday by Gus Swanson, who arrived to assist in the sport. Many exciting stories are related of the do ings in the camp that afforded not a little pleasure to the party. The resi dents in the vicinity where the party camped were entertained very much by the singing of the quartet, which was one of the successes of the trip, and much heretofore unknown musical talent in the members of the party was developed during the time they were in camp. Mr. McCarthy return ed home Saturday evening, white the rest of the boys remained until yes terday to secure as many fish as possible.
