"Little Johnnie Jones"
This city will hare the opportunity of
witnessing last season's most emphatic
musical success, "Little Johnny Jones"
thiB notable attractton being booked for
the North Theatre Saturday November
13tb. 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 bill of Thoma3 Keating, $8.65,
for error in case of Thomas Keating
vs. John and Anna Schuldt, was, on
motion, rejected by the board for the
reason that same is not a charge
against the county.
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.
The board of supervisors proceeded
now to select sixty names from which

The following was submitted:
To the Hon. 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.
On motion of Supervisor Goetz same

Whereas, There has been a bill filed
