OPENING OF
THE LYCEUM
COURSE HER!
HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM FILL
ED TO CAPACITY LAST
EVENING.
ENTERTAINMENT IS ASSURED
As Sufficient Subscriptions Secured
to Pay for Entire Course Glee
Club to Gzt Surplus.
DENIES THE ALLEGATION.
From Wednesday's Dally.
The patrons of the lyceum course
which has been offered this season
under the auspices of the Commer
cial club were treated to a very en
joyable evening at the high school
- on the occasion of the visit of the
Davies opera company to the city as
the opening number of the course.
The auditorium was filled to its ca
pacity and everyone felt that it had
been veil worth the price of the
season tickets to enjoy the one num
ber offered.
To many it was the first oppor
tunity of visiting the new school
building and the patrons were de
lighted with their impressions of
the neat and attractive building
that houses the students of the high
school and the auditorium as a
municipal meeting place found much
favor. One of the reasons for lo
cating the lyceum course numbers in
the high school has been the desire
of making the new school building
a community center and it certain
ly will be a very pleasing place to
hold these public gatherings.
But to return to the occasion of
the cpening number of the splendid
series cf entertainments which have
been arranged for by the Commer
cial club. Mr. E. II. "Wescott pre
ceeding the appearance of the con
cert company told of the desire that
had been felt for a lyceum course in
the city and the methods by which
the necessary support had been se
cured by the Commercial club and
he had the pleasure of announcing
to the audjence that sufficient season
tickets had been sold to cover all
expenses of the entire series of ent
ertainments and that all that was
remaining over would be devoted to
the students of the high school.
Coming to this city with a well
earned reputation as an organiza- j
tion of high class entertainers the
members of the Davies opera com
pany more than justified all the
good things that have been said of j
their work, in their clever presenta
tion of the comic operette. "Olivette"
and the entire company of eight
persons demonstrated that they were
artists of the highest standard of
operatic music. Mr. Harry Davies.
heading the cast furnished some
pleasing comedy to the course of the
tuneful little opera and won the
hearts of his audience in his droll
and clever mannerisms. The wond
erful sweet voice of Mr. Harry
Smith in the role of Valentine was
a delight to the audience and his
numbers were warmly received by
the audience.
The clever little opera furnished
the opportunity for many catchy
and tuneful melodies and- the de
lightful manner in which they were
given by the company pleased the
entire audience. As the "Countess"
Miss Cora Alt was delightful with
her charming voice and 'pleasing
itage presence and was ably sup
ported by Miss Thelma Hayman as
"Olivette". Mr. Davies appeared in
the dual roles of "Captain De Mer
timac" and "Coquelicot" and his
musical numbers as well as sharp
and clever witticisms made a gTeat
impression with the audience. The
company has as their accompanist,
Miss Viola Livingston, a very able
pianoist whose assistance aided ma
terially in the production of the
pleasing little opera.
The next number of the series of
entertainments will be the Fighting
Americans, a quartet that is com
posed of former overseas men and
who will present an" enjoyable mus
ical program full of pep and dash.
This company will appear on Tues
day. November 25th.
From Wednesday's Datly.
Tom Heinrich. eon of Mrs. Mary
lleinrich of this city, i3 enjoying a
short visit with home folks coming
down from Havelock for that pur
pose. Tom found on his arrival
that he had received two rather mis
placed titles due to an error of the
Journal which had given him the
position cf a husband as. well as a
father and this Tom decidedly de
nies. Our informant on. Saturday
stated Mr. lleinrich had come down
from Havelock accompanied by his
wife and babe and the statement
was not doubted as a great many of
the youirg people have acquired
families since the time over two
years ago when the reporter left the
city for the army and nothing more
was thought of it until the young
man in the case informed us that he
was still free and guiltless of either
t wife or babe and we cheerfully cor
rect the misstatement.
WETS PREPARE TO
FIGHT FOR RIGHT
TO SELL LIQUOR
Attorneys Seek Injunction Against
Revenue Collector So as to Re
move Stock in Warehouses.
Louisville, Ky.. Oct. 27. Attor
neys for national liquor interests
were in Louisville today for the sec
ond step in a contest inaugurated
October 10 in federal court here to
test constitutionality of wartime
prohibition law and "eventually ob
tain the release for sale of 70,000.
000 gallons of whisky in bond, val
ued at approximately $75,000,000.
The skirmish today contemplated
arguments on a motion for an in
junction against Elwood Hamilton,
collector of internal revenue for
Kentucky, which would restrain
him from interfering with removal
of the whisky in Kentucky ware
houses. The suit questions the power of
congress to prohibit the sale of dis
tilled spirits, manufactured long be
fore the United States entered the
war, based largely upon the fifth
amendment to the constitution,
which prohibits confiscation of pri
vate property without compensation.

THE SERVICE CHEVRON.
From Wednesday's r8lly. y
While in our wanderings over the
city today we saw- a rather unique
sight and one too that brought re
gret, and it was that, of one or the
peaceful citizens passing by attired
in an overcoat once belonging to ,
one of the soldiers of the nation and
glittering on the left sleeve of the j
garment the gold chevron that has
been granted to the members of the
army putting in service overseas.
How or where the garment cam in
to the possession of the gentleman
is a matter for his own considera
tion, but the display of a disting
uishing mark given for active service
as a member of the A. E. F. is to
say the least in very bad taste and
while it was probably through neg
lect on the part of the wearer to re
move the mark, it served to call the
attention of men who had served
from one to there years to deserve
this recognition and as this gentle
man had not even thought of being
in the army it would be well for him
to remove the chevron before ap
pearing on the streets. The war
department has made their position
clear on the wearing of the uniform
both by former service men and
other classes of civilians.
Ftom Wednesday's Dally.
Last evening at 9:30 at the Im
manuel hospital in Omaha occurred
the death of Mrs. David Sampson,
for many years a resident of this
city, and who has just recently been
operated on for a severe case of gall
stones. Mrs. Sampson whoe home
is at Portland, Oregon, has been in
the city visiting at the home of her
daughter, Mrs. E. W. Beins, a few
miles south of Plattsmouth, and
while there was taken very sick and
her case discovered to be a severe
attack of gall stones. It was found
necessary to send Mrs. Sampson to
the hospital in Omaha and to per
form an operation from which the
patient failed to. rally and gradually
grew worse until death came to her
relief.
The departed lady was fifty-nine
years of age at the time of her death
and was for many years a resident
of this county, living south of the
city on the farm and from where
the family removed some three years
ago to Portland, Oregon, where they
have sincemde their home.- She
came in July from the coast, to en
joy a visit with her daughter and
her son, Arthur, who has been in
service in France, and who returned
a few months ago, and has since
been enjoying the visit in the old
home.
To mourn the death of this good
woman there remains three sons and
three daughters as well as the hus
band, who will miss the loving care
and attention that the wife .and
mother has lavished upon those she
loved and to these sad hearts bereav
ed by their great loss the deepest
sympathy of the many friends will
go out. The children are as follows:
Mrs. E. - W. Beins. Plattsmouth:
Mrs. C. A. Middleton, Royal, Ne
braska.; Mrs. WalteT Holcomb,
O'Neill. Nebraska; Perry Sampson,
Portland. Oregon, James Sampson,
Waterloo. Iowa, and Arthur Samp
son. Plattsmouth. '
No funeral arrangements have
been made as yet awaiting word
from the relatives in the west.

DEPARTS FOR ASHLAND.
From wednesuny's Daily j
The Davies opera company which
opened the lyceum course in this
city last evening departed this aft
ernoon for Ashland where they will

was well pleased with their treat
ment while here and loud in their
praise of the facilities at the high
school for their performance. Mj

neat end very handscnie building
and to have shown in it was a pleas
ure. The facilities for dressing

to get along the best they could for
space to make the changes in their
wardrobes and at very great inconvenience.
