With all its wealth of special scenery gorgeous costumes and bright and catchy specialties is the attraction at the Temple the atre Thursday night This piece which has attained such an envi able reputation and secured sueh a hold on the hearts of the atregoers from one end of this bread land to the other is from the pen of Mr iOlarence Bennett author of the Ilolv City and The Warning Bell and

primary to be held in Nebraska next year un der the new law enacted by the state legislature will fall on Fri day April 19 which is a decid ed departure from the customary Tuesday election day wliich

when presidential candidates are to be chosen leav ing it on the third Tuesday in August for all other years This makes the date variable in each ease although the day remains certain and must be on

M Cox was considerably damag ed Friday night by fire and wat er The fire originated in and was confined to the rear end of the house over the kitchen but how it originated is still unknowx or undecided It was first thought to have been caused by defective wiring but Mr Panten burg of MeCook Electric Co tested out the lines and is con vinced the electric wiring was not responsible Wliile there is some damage to the building and contents from fire perhaps the chief loss is from water plastering etc be ing especially a sufferer The fare was confined to three rear rooms the bath room and two bed rooms all of them being somewhat charred the bath room probably the worst Mr Cox was in the house at tii time the fire was discovered as the smoke from upstairs pene trated to the lower floor ne had just started to heat an elec tive light iron Mrs Cox was ab sent from the city on a visit About six oclock on Saturday morning another fire alarm was sounded this time the call going in from the Benjamin residence 2nd street east- Eph was engag ed in the laudable work of build ing the morning fire in the kitch en range when an explosion of oil gasoline or coal added a lit tle more enthusiasm and energy to the occupation than was seem ly to Mr Benjamin who did not entirely escape injury The dam age fortunately was small the fire being controlled without much difficulty or loss ANOTHER LARGE HOUSE Tha Servant in the House Was Generously greeted The Servant in the House is one of the strong plays of the stage of today with food for re flection and inspiration for bet ter things for making more prac tical the teachings of the golden ride for following more closely and precisely the teachings of the meek and lowly Galileean This dramatization of Kennedys novel is keenly and bitterly sat irical against the commercialism the hypocrisy and the caste of the church and seeks a fairer ex pression of the brotherhood of man its creed is I love God and ALL my brothers So even a small appreciation of the production requires one to go beyond the symbolic drain to a contemplation of the dead mens bones etc in the pulpit pew and choir Mr Kochs woric as the serv ant is strong but somewhat ov erdone and constitutes a sugges tion approaching the ethically of fensive to the more sensitively re ligious soul DONT overlook those doors and win dows that are in bad shape Call us
