The House of a Thousand Candles
This play brought to the new Temple
theatre last Saturday night one of the
most appreciative and delighted audi
ences since the opening Dramatized
from Nicholsons well known novel the
plot and scenes and libretto were famil
iar to not a few who enjoyed a more
intelligent appreciation on that account
Bates the bitler was starred and Mr
Koch easily filled the cast part with dis
tinction It was well staged befittiugly
costumed and devoid of any suggestion
of the barn stormer and his noisy arts
and withal was very en joyably produced
Doubtless the classiest ofiering yet given
in the Temple

Skillfully Presented
While the writer is not enamoured of
the melo drama he is free to comrrend
the excellence of the performance of
William Macauley and his company in
The Little Homestead in the Temple
theatre last Thursday evening The
company is strong and well balanced
and Macauley entirely satisfactory
There was a strong element of comedy
in the play which relieved the tearful
ness of the drama Thore was an unex
pectedly good audience and the appre
ciation was warm and genuine

A Championship Game
The sJf styled Western and South
western High School champions from
jlloldregecamo in on No 1 Saturday
and endeavored to tako our quiet little
city by storm as they had won every
game plaed so far this yuar Thoy did
not seoni to even look upon tho lavish
decorations of our local merchant dis
play windows half in their honor nor
did they even remark about the beauti
ful assembly room of tho high school
which had their colors and pennants ar
ranged together with the local scarlet
and cream in honor of their visit They
felt tbit tho championship as claimed
in tho daily papers by their press cor
respondent was as good as cinched for
1909
The two lines cf warriors marched to
tho martial strains of the high school
fifes and drums down Main avenue ac
companied by the largest line of rooters
ever marshaled out to a McCook foot
ball game
The grounds had been worked on all
the forenoon but could hardly be called
good when the warriors lined up for
battle
The Scandinavians kicked to McCook
and the game was on
The ball was immediately forced into
Holdrege territory and there it remained
till about tue end of the first half when
Campbell made the grandest drop kick
for goal ever made by a high school
team In the second half both teams
were penalized several times but not
once in the entire game was McCooks
goal ever in danger
In three successive line rushes Mc
Cook broke through for gains and the
third for a touch down by Campbell
who was simply dragged thrown and
pulled through the line by his team
mates He immediately kicked goal
and the score stood 9 to 0 in favor of
McCook Many who saw the kick
thought it unfair but it went over a goal
post and Coach Swensen of Holdrege
sustained Referee Woods in his decision
Thus the sons from the land of the
Midnight Sun left the field and the
championship of Southern Nebraska
with McCook
NOTES ON THE LAST AND FUTURE GAMES
The Holderge line was rent asunder
easily
Not a single bruise was sustained in
the entire game
The local team was on the offensive
the entire game
Holdrege lost the game because of
over confidence
Evans Allen Williams and Ryan
made great tackles
