BANKING BILL
BECOMES LAW
IN NEBRASKA
GOVERNOR PERMITS MEASURE

OUT Hib ArifajyAlt.
State banks in Nebraska opened
their doors this morning under
tew banking law, ? law which bank-
ers generally believe will be stronger
in its guaranty features and in other
respects than the former Jaw, but it i
will te ten days before the wheels
of the machinery can begin to turn
and months before it becomes really
effective in some ways. . ;
Governor Bryan announced Satur
day evening that he would permit H
R.
"2 to become a Jaw without his
approval. He cannot approve some of
its features, but rather than prevent
the carrying into effect of many good
provisions in it he will permit it to
go into effect. He withholds his ap
proval, but under the constitution
the bill becomes effective because it
has been five days in his possession
without action on his part. He has
neither vetoed nor approved it.
Friends of the measure say the leg
islature stood ready to override a
veto.

Hastings. C. E. Pratt, formerly su

The Eire Prince, Presented at the
High School Auditorium, Most
Delightful Operetta.
The Hastings college glee club
that is now making a tour of the
state, brought to this city Saturday
evening one of the most delightful
m.,ci.oi ontorioinmonu that hn
been heard in Plattsmouth in-a longj61"'
period of years and one that in j
every- way reflected on the young
people comprising the cast, the great
est of credit. . .
The high school auditorim where
the operetta. "The Fire Prince," was
given, was filled to its capacity and
the generous reception given the
players and their various numbers
attested the feeling of appreciation
of the audience at this form of en
tertainment. The direction of "The Fire Prince"
by Hayes M. Fuhr, instructor in mu
sic at the Hastings college was one
of the contributing factors to the
success of the operetta and the young
eople in the cast showed in their
very artistic work the training that
had been given them at the college.
Every detail of the production was
pejfect. it was well staged with scen
ery and the costumes were elaborate
and beautiful, but in the enjoyment
of the operetta, the audience forgot
the surroundings in the inspiration
of the beautiful and well trained
voices of the- members of the party in
their various numbers.
It would be unfair tove an" in
dividual member of the cast a spec
ial commendation as each one was a
vital factor in the splendid success
of the operetta and the well trained
chorus of the entertainment gave to
the solo numbers a fitting accom
paniment. Accompanying the operetta was a
special orchestra, composed of stu
dents from the college and whose
work was perfect In every way and
gave strength and beauty to the per
formance. V ' ;

Yesterday Afternoon.

From Tuesday's Datlvl
Yesterday afternoon the ladies of
the Fontenelle chapter of the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution held
a very delightful meeting at the
pleasant home of Mrs. E. II. Wescott
on high school hill and which was
very largely attended by the mem
bers. The chief of feature of the after
noon was the very interesting ad
dress of Mrs. J. S. Livingston, as a
part of the study of the history of
Nebraska and in her remarks Mrs.
Livingston covered many points of
interest including the championing
of the Nebraska bill by Stephen A.
Douglas, the first election in which
statehood was submitted and what
was particularly interesting touched
on the part that Cass county had in
determining the question as the vote
of Rock Bluffs was that which was
to decide the . contest and it was
thrown out on account of irregulari
ties claimed and as the result the
statehood was accepted. Another
phase of her remarks v as that of the
trly- - transportffttori-syB tenia, - -the
Union Pacific railroad and later the
Burlington. She also told a few in-
terestine1- farts rulntlvp trt thp parlv
