No musical play presented last season enjoyed such phenomenal pros- perity, it having played eight different times' in New York City during the sea son, -covering a period of six months. It was also seen for two weeks in Boston, four months in Chicago, four week in Philadelphia, and all the other principal cities. "Little Johnny Jonee" was written by George M. Cohan, who also composed the music and has personally staged the present production. Proba bly no writer of musical comedy has had so many distinct successes as Mr. Cohan, "Forty-live Minntes From Broadway," "George Washington, Jr.," "Running for Office" and "The Governor's Son," which have attained great popularity, being the work of his pen "Little Johnny Jones" is conceded the best work that Mr. Cohan has yet offered the pub lic. It has a pretty and interesting story concerning the adventures of an American jockey who goes to England to win fame and fortune on the English turf. There is a plot whioh holds the attention of the audience from first to last, while theaction of the play is in- ' terrnpted by some lively and' very tune ful music during the three acts, and each one of the songs attained a very wide popularity last season. The pro daction that will be seen here is very large and complete, embracing three mammoth stage settings showing exteri or of the Hotel Cecil in London, the steamship pier at Southampton, with the departure of an ocean liner, an illu minated steamer at sea, and a street scene in the Chinese quarter of San Francisco. The company that will pre sent ''Little Johnnie Jones" in this city contains seventy-five people and em braces in its cast of principals may stage favorites. The chorus is promised as" very large and proficient, numbering over forty people. As "Little Johnny Jones" will doubtless prove one of the big events of our local theatrical season a crowded house is assured in advance.

The following was presented: To the Honorable Board of Supervis ors of Platte County, Nebraska: Gentlemen: Chapter 171 of the Session Laws of Nebraska, 1909. provides as follows: "Unless otherwise ordered by the court or a judge thereof, a grand jury shall be drawn and summoned in the manner provided by law, on the first day of the first regular term of the district court of each county in the state." It is my opinion that the statute does not contemplate the drawing and sum moning of a grand jury for the first term next after the taking effect of the law. but that it contemplates and pro vides for such procedure for the first regular terni In the next ensuing year. But. to save any question as to the reg ularity of procedure, and it satisfac torily appearing that no occasion exists for the calling of the grand jury for the November. 1909. term of the district court of Platte county. Nebraska, it is ordered, that the honorable board of supervisors of said county of Platte, refrain from, drawing and causing to be summoned, and that said board do not draw nor cause to be summoned a grand jury for the November, 1909, term of the district court of said county.' Done at Columbus. Nebraska, this 5th day of October, 1909. GEO. H. THOMAS. Judge of the District Court in and for Platte County, Nebraska. On motion same was ordered placed on file.

Board of Supervisors of Platte County, Nebraska: Gentlemen: The question of the action heretofore taken by the board in creating the office of Begister of Deeds in said county and in asking the county attor ney's opinion as to the propriety and i legality of the board in the action i taken In tne premises i neg to suonui the following: It is the opinion of the county attorney that the legislature is invested with the right and power to create such office and that sucii is cre ated by Section 77a. Chapter 18, Arti cle 1, of the compiled statutes, 1909, whenever the population of any county' In this state Is 18,003 and over, the same to be ascertained by the state or national census. Should the last state or national census fall to show that Platte county has a population of 18, 003 inhabitants then in that instance the office of Begister of Deeds is not created in this county. As to the other question of the legality of the action taken by the board In said matter I would say that under the statutes the board has no jurisdiction over the sub ject matter in question, and what the board did in this respect was but an Idle ceremony and therefore not pos sessing any power to create said office, the record is of no more force or effect and not binding on this board. The only jurisdiction the board has in connection with this matter may arise in the future. W. N. HENSLEY, County Attorney.
