A Few Facts In years gone by many a play has come and gone ; but among the few that came and remained as a fixture dear to the hearts of the amusement loving public "A Texas Ranger" stands out promi nently as one of the few and great successes. For the past 4 years it h.as been offered to the theater goers of the larger cities , where it has been received with more thaii a kindly reception be cause it is a simple and probable story told in a manner that is true to every day lifewithout the customary exaggerations that are generally adopted by authors to excite the minds of the people momentarily. "A Texas Ranger" has been constructed on the lines that leaves a lasting impression with its auditors that they have in reality gone through an ex perience themselves instead of witnessing a play. One is not to overlook the fact that there are many cxcitingand thrilling situa tions , still they arc all beautified by scenes and realistic climaxes which add very materially to the interest to which one is wound up while witnessing the play. On next Monday night , Fcb , 24 , "A Texas Ranger will be seen at the Gehling. Better Than tue Best. German sweet kraut at 15c per pound.

A.EJacquet "The Old Reliable Jcwlcr" As To Carrlngton , Some years ago , near the little village ; of Lorlon , Nebr. , in Otoe county , stood a large country school building. It has since been converted into a barn and its place taken by a fine two story building in the town. But at the time of which I speak the school building stood about a mile in the country , "out across the bottom. " In the late summer , there dropped into this town , one day , a man inhisearly twenties , lie inquired for Henry Land , wehr and was directed to him. Mr. Landwehr was director of the district and the young man's purpose was to apply for the school. The school had the name of being the hardest in the country and it was the largest of the country schooly. The matter of hiring a teacher who could handle it was of no little mo ment , as there had been so many failures in the past. However after a serious con sideration the stranger was hired on three months trial. Lorton furnished an unusual list of well meaning but reck less boys in their early "teens.1 The year before , I had gradu. ated from the eighth grade and was considering my common school education complete , having decided to either be a druggist or an engineer and not knowing that a well rounded education was not only desir able but very necessary for success in either of these voca tions of life. In early September the new teacher came. I saw him get off the train , I thought the longest , lankiest , hungriest looking fellow I had ever seen. The other boys saw hi in too. We held conference and decided by a unanimous vote that a specimen like that of the genus homo was a rare thing and further investigation advisable. Our next opportunity to carry on our investigation was a few nights later when we were play ing a game of "run-sheep-run. " The teacher joined the "gang" and soon proved himself one of the boys , all investigation ceased and everyone went into the game for all he was worth for the teacher was leading one crowd and they were winning. Nearly every evening after that , when the weather would permit , a game of "run sheep- run" was in order , but never until first a call had been made at the hotel and the question put "Is the teacher here ? " which was usually answered by a big voice upstairs saying "Come on up boys : Will be ready in a minute. " "With out knowing why we did it , we all entered school again. The enrollment went to eighty-one , and only one teucher to do all the work. Under his direction two football teams "Harvard'1 and "Yale" were organized and how we did play The teacher played in the "Yale' team. With these sides we played other games in season The time of play was thirtj minutes and after the game was over we'd go into the schoo room , wash and comb and whei the bell rang were ready tc study as hard as we had played New ideals were breathed in to our ears , new ambitions were aroused , and in the heart ol every boy there burned a desire to be somebody. When the three months wen up the directors had forgetter the agreement and when it was IS.o mentioned they laughed t .o think that "trial" had ever beet mentioned. The teacher is retained the next year at is own price and terms. Go back to that village today or where ever ten years imu have carried them , and fine idn those boys and they will tel you without exception , that tin two years they spent under Mr r.u Oarrington were the most valu able to them of any two year ot their life. Mr. Oarrington is now Count GehlingTheater MONDAY , FEB. 24 BREED & PHELPS Offering Ono of the Greatest and Most Successful Plays TEXAS RANGER A Story of the Plains , Full of Po etic Dreaming and Sensational Dramatic Incidents with Rufus HiIl = Virginia Jefferies and a Superb Supporting Company of Sixteen Others A MAGNIFICENT SCENIC CREATION PRICES : 75-50 and 35c Superintend t n t of Noinaha CoM Nebraska , and a candidate lor the nomination for State Super intendent subject to the republi can primaries. I was one of those boys at Lorton and I've known Mr. ( Harrington since as a bosom friend and I know he was then , has been and now is the most energetic , tireless worker I have ever met. He is a man whose ability along educational lines is equalled by few and sur passed by none. In the interest of education I sincerely hope that Richardson County will rally to his support and cast the entire republican vole for his nomination. B. K. HUKST. Prin. Falls City II. S.
