Aa though fully realizing that the final
engagement of the season was at hand and
that another opportunity of enjoying really
first-class theatrical amusement would not
present itself within the next three months,
Omsha playgoers turned out ln full force
Thursday night to aee a new and much
talked about musical comedy, "When
Reuben Comes to Town." There was
not an available seat ln the theater
after 8 o'clock and an hour later there
was no more atandlng room to be sold, a
condition that ha. existed but very few
time, during the season.
A. for the play and performance, the
large audience aeemed to find much to
laugh at and they were quite liberal with
their applau.e, all of which would Indi
cate that they were pleased. The piece is
one of those musical farces without plot
or purpose aside from that of causing peo
ple to laugh. There are some bright line.
In It, a little catchy musla and some
really clever burlesque. The company is
small for one of Its kind and as a whole
rather ordinary. There are tew good
volcea in the cast, but some beauty of both
face and figure ln the chorus. One of the
redeeming feature, of the performance ia
the rapidity with which the fun 1. kept
going. At no time does It drag or 1. the
audience allowed to lose interest ln the
performance, even though the dialogue la
not alwaya Interesting. The final perform
ance of the engagement and of the present
season will be given tonight, when the same
piece will be offered.

Liddell in the chair. The routine business
wa. . tran.acted and the following resolu
tion waa adopted:
Whereas, The Board of County Com

superintendent of the County hospital; and
Wherea , Mr. Oest'e loyalty to demo
cratic principles and his services to the
party, both Individually and as president
of the German-American Democratic club,
have contributed very materially to the
success of the democratic party and lis
candidates in the past; and
Whereas, The German-American club
have recognized his ability as a leader by
re-electing him to the presidency of their
organisation; and
Whereas, His appointment to the posi
tion he now occupies waa Indorsed bv the
(too member, of that organization; there
fore be It
Resolved, By the Douglas county de
mocracy that while we deprecate the un
democratic squabble Into which the
semocrattc members of the Boa'd of
County Commissioners have drlft'd, yet
we do not believe that innocent ar.d hard
working democrats should be mae to suf
fer therefor. And be it furthei-
Resolved, That we demar.a the demo
cratic members of the board to get to
gether, retain Mr. Oest aa superintendent
and save for the democratlo ticket the
loss it will undoubtedly sustain if the
action of the board is not rescinded.
