WVM-HE - P !Sh' R The people of Nebraska are being urged this year to adopt state wide PROHIBITION, and to wipe cut the Slocum Local Option, High License Law. Naturally, the average man wants to know what results have been achieved instates where PROHIBITION has been tried. He wants to kn;;w first of all whether state-wide PROHIBITION prohibits. The practical man also wants to know what results have been achieved in Nebraska under the Local-option, High License System We intend to publish a series of articles with a view of lay ing certain vital facts before the people of this state, facts which they should possess in order that they may be able to make an intelligent decision. The citizens of Nebraska want an opportunity to hear both sides of the question. They have little patience with the. extremists, of whom there are some on both sides. They want to hear in plain language why so many men of standing are opposed to state-wide PROHIBITION. We will present evidence in abundance to show that state-wide PROHIBITION does not prohibit; that serious new evils follow in the wake of PROHIBITION, evils far worse and more numerous than those for which PROHIBITION is offered as a remedy.

This is one of the strong fea tures of the Worid Film company and will Le in five icels. The story of the lay which has stirred playgoers the country over is as follows. John Jaffray and Louisa, his wife, live in a cottage not far from Sir Hujrh's. mansion. John has been cast off by his father when he marries Louisa, who is the child of one of the tenants on the Jaffray estate. John appeals to his father for aid for his wife, who h; soon to become a moth er. He is curtly refused. Louisa, star ving, curses the rich who erind the poor. That niprht there was a garden pr.rty privtn by Sir Husrh. Louisa, tak ing advantage of John's slumber, creeps from the cottagre to the estate. uobles. Countess Possi, however, has i-trongr suspicions of Jaffray and noti fifies the police. Upon hearing1 this, and to save his friend as well as satisfy his desire of vengreance on the woman who has de serted him, Han by shoots and kills the Countess. When the police arrive to arrest Sir Curtis they learn of the murder of the Countess, and after making a confession in which he takes the entire blame for all thefts Ilanby kills himself before the police can reach him. Several days later Curtis confesses to Eleanor that it was he who "in reality was "The So cial Highwayman," and she Lids him go forth and begin a new life, after which they go down the road of happi ness together.

Louisa takes the pearls to an old pawnbroker and strikes a bargain with him, aiso binding him to secrecy. When her child is born, they call him Cuiii- J tiff ray. The news is received by Sir Hugh with an outburst of rage. At the age cf twelve, Curtis' par ents find the horrifying discovery that he has inherited through pre natal influences, a tendency to steal. Terror-stricken at the discovery. Louisa confesses to her husband that Curtis inherits her traits, because she stole before he was born. Upon John's death Sir Hugh virits the widow and grandson, wilting to adept him and give him the education of a gentle man. Fifteen years later he finds Curtis referred to as Sir Curtis Jaffray, man about town and scholar. A deep mys tery clouds his life, and in his room he has various material with which he can disguise himself at will. Hamby, a former acquaintance of Jaffray, shabby and disreputable, traces him, and for old time's sake Jaffray de cides to employ Hamby ar- a social secretary, meaning, however, to use him as a tool for his nefarious opera tions. Jaffray gives an entertainment at which Count and Countess Rossi are MRS. SCI! LATER IMPROVING From WeOnefsday's Daily. Mrs. Frank E.

The officers of the League are responsible for the state ment that these gentlemen have tak en part in the affairs of the League because of their belief that state pro hibition would work an injury to land and town property values, and would, moi cover, jeopardize the business in terests of the state at large.

The large steel safe in the bank was drilled by a buiglar with a result that a .-;nta!l hole was n-.aele in the steel walls of the safe but luckily before the party was able to get into the safe they had evidently be-come frightened and ran away leaving the contents un touched.

Lilla, "The Countess Rossi," becomes infatuated with Jaffray, and they commence a violent flirtation, al though it is understood Jaffray is engaged to Eleanor Hilson. One of the first things Curtis notices about Lilia is the magnificent black pearl which she is wearing, recognizing it as the famous and priceless black pearl of India. Jaffray has an old jeweler fashion a pendant exactly similar to the one worn by Lulla. In the meantime Ilan by has told Curtis that the Countess Rossi is his wife, stolen from him years before in Italy by Count Rossi. At midnight, in the midst of a gay party, the engagement of Eleanor Hilson and Curtis Jaffray is an nounced. - Suddenly it is discovered that the black pearl of India is mis sing. There is immediate consterna tion among the guests, and Curtis, w.th an elaborate bow, suddenly dis covers the missing pendant on the floor, being, however, the fake dup licate made by his craftsman. Curtis' bov ideal is Claude DuVaU "The Social Highwayman," who stole frorii the rich to give to the poor, and iie preyed upon the rich during the gay hours o fhis life, spending his entire gains from his illicit traffic in alleviating the sufferings of the pov- ertv stricken.
