At first blush the Foxy Grandpa pictures
look a mighty small peg on which to hang
ny sort of a play, musical or otherwise;
but a very good thing In the way of a
musical comedy baa' been suspended from
it, and Joseph Hart and Carrie De Mar, as
sisted by a bevy of pretty girls and some
very clever young men, give life and quality
to the conceit. Foxy Grandpa pictures
merely figure incidentally. Just enough of
them being usod to give license for the use
of the name, but there are other pictures
far mots to be desired than these rather in
ane comic supplement features, and they
are afforded In plenty In the working out
of the theme for play purposes. A some
what connected story runs through the
piece, holding together the several Inci
dents produced. Briefly, Foxy Grandpa
and the boys, his nieces and his protege,
Polly Bright, are at a summer resort.
where an Italian adventuress seeks to and
for a time does ensnare' the old man. He
discovers ' what he Is tip against, and es
capes by the aid of an Impersonator who
has made up as his double. Polly Blight
Is awarded In marriage to the young man
of her choice, and the curtain goes down on
everybody happy.
Mr. Hart's charactorisatton of the old
man who has not gotten over being a boy
Is good; he has his own way of making
fun, and does It without ever getting out of
the character. Miss De Mar la the Pony
Bright of the cast, and she fairly revels In
witty words and cheery songs. She and
Mr. Pearce do burlesque tragio stunt that
brought down the house at both perform
ances yesterday. Miss Wright ' makes a
slgnorlna who might easily capture a less
susceptible heart than that of Foxy
Grandpa, and Mr. Bedding's Bolero Is also
a clever bit of Impersonation. The chorus
Is strong In numbers, voice and good looks,
and groups together most effectively In the
spot light pictures. The two boys are
genuine boys, and their contribution Is not
the least of the good things the piece con
tains. Altogether, "Foxy Grandpa" is well
worth the time spent In watching and
listening to It.

treasures do drift off, they all come back
and everything dovetails In at the last In
the very way the over-wrought spectator
would have It. The villains are slain, their
plots and conspiracies frustrated and
ruined, heroes and heroines triumph and
love reigns supreme. The finish suggests

out strongly. Arneeen, the gymnast. Isn't

long enough to convince the watchers that
his title of "Incomparable" has not been
lightly assumed. His balancing Is simply
marvelous, almost beyond belief. Charles
Dickson and his assistants, Mlas Pauline
Billings. Master Harry Goodwin and West-
oott Adams, present a bit of a comedy that
Is far above the average seen In a vaude
ville theater. Mr. Dickson and Miss BUI
Ings assume tha bulk of the work, and by
their quiet methods succeed In winning
much applause. They are both finished
actors, and do not allow the fact that they
are In vaudeville to deter them from doing
their beet work. Paxton's pictures are
a aeries of living models grouped to repre

GOSSIP OF TI1E POLITICIANS
Covall I nra of Complete Republican Vic
tor, While Dahlmtn EeiiUtei
DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN USES "IFS"
Chairman Bartlett of Rrpabllcaa Ju
dicial Committee Predicts Saceess '
far Entire Ticket sad Ed
smith la Bare.
On the eve of election the republican
campaign managers were confident of the
success of the whole ticket, while the demo
crat lo leaders confused their predictions
with a plentiful sprinkling of "ifs" and
"buts." Following Is what the county
chairmen said yesterday afternoon:
Chairman Cowell, Republican Every can
didate of our party without a single ex
ception will be elected by a handsome ma
jority. While I dislike to forecast figures
I am confident that the republican majori
ties will rants from 1,000 to 1,600 and may
go even higher in some cases. We are
thoroughly organised and you will find
very man at the polls performing his duty
by casting a straight ballot.. No one need,
feel alarmed over what the opposition has
to say concerning a lack of "sincere har
mony." The unification of the party In
Douglas count is complete, and I sea no
reason why we should not feel confident
over the returns tomorrow.
Chairman Dahlman, Democ ratio We
rely, on the manifest lack of sincerity In
the harmony movement among republi
cans, aiid I believe our whole ticket stands
an excellent show for winning out. There
will be more scratched ballots than for
years, deeplte the open factional fights that
have prevailed In the past. The best In
formed workers of the opposition concede
that Power will be the high man on. our
ticket, and thla means his certain election.
The most excellent canvass made by Otto
Bauman for treasurer and Flattl for county
Judge Insure their elections by handnome
majorities, aa does the campaign made by
Broad well, Boyd, Drexel and Gish. Re
ports from various districts In the county
Indicate that the remainder of the ticket
will win out by safe pluralities."
Chairman Bartlett of the republican Ju
dicial committee: "It Is Interesting to note
In an advertisement In the dally papers
where Mr. Ed P. Smith, chairman, and
A. C. Kennedy, secretary, have promul
gated matter under tha following heading:
Shall the District . Court Be Partisan or
Nonpartisan?' and sign the matter 'By or
der of the democratic Judicial committee.
Ed P. Smith, chairman, J. A. C. Ken
nedy, secretary.' If thla is genuinely non
partisan It must suggest itself to the mind
of every thinking person that the order
would not have been signed by the demo
cratic Judicial committee, but by some non
partisan committee. The truth Is that the
ticket nominated by the democrats at the
bar meeting, at which meeting the repub
lican attorneys withdrew, contained the
names on the democratic, ticket, with the
exception of A. N. Ferguson, and Instead
of Mr. Ferguson the democratic lawyers
nominated a republican, Mr. Herman Aye
of Washington county. The republican Ju
dicial convention, having failed to "endorse
the action of the democratic bar meeting,
Mr. Aye publicly announced that he would
not accept a nomination at the hands of
tha democrats, fo Xhat It became necessary
for the democratic lawyers fathering the
scheme to supply . some one to fill the
vacancy . on the democratic bar ' ticket
caused by Mr. Aye's declination. But in
filling this vacancy .they did not copeult
tha democratlo bar meeting, but Induced
the democratlo county ' central committee
to name the delegates tq, the democratic
judicial convention, .instead of permitting
the rank and file of the democratlo party
to choose them at primaries, thereby se
curing control of , the democratlo Ju
dicial convention, and were thun en
abled to accomplish then purpose.
Tha selection of the . slate 'Tamed
by these few democratic law
yers was resisted In the convention by such
prominent democrats as C. S. Montgomery
and others, but the result was that the
slate went through, and A. N. Ferguson
waa substituted for Herman Aye ''without
the aid or consent" of the democratic bar
meeting, and the ticket named by the detn
oeratlo Judicial convention. Including Mr.
Ferguson, was dubbed by It a nonpartisan
Judicial ticket.
"It la a well known fact that lawyers are
somewhat technical and as a body cannot
be Induced to father a proposition which
they do not endorse. Judge Ferguson may
be one of the best men and a worthy can?
dldate upon the democratlo. ticket. It la a
well known fact that many democrats wre
not In favor of his candidacy, but whether
In favor of It or not that ticket oannot be
considered as a bar nomination-without Its
endorsement by the bar, although, composed
maln!y of democrats at the bar. meeting
which finally made the nomination without
their being consulted. Hence It Is unfair
and untrue to say that thla Is a nonpartisan
bar nomination, and the very fact that Ed
P. Smith and J. A. C. Kennedy sign this as
chairman and secretary of the democratlo
Judicial committee stamps their manifesto
with error In making the statement that
this la a nonpartisan ticket.
Democrats everywhere In the district are
on to tha scheme, aa well as the republic
ans, and Intend to rebuke the high-handed
manner by which this ticket waa selected.
and to visit punishment upon the candi
dates who, without any sense of decency,
accept a nomination brought about aa this
was. I expect that tha republican Judicial
ticket will carry every county In the dis
trict, something unheard of heretofore." .
Vice Chairman Scott of the democratlo
state committee who, officially, la conduct
ing the campaign for the state ticket, was
heard .soliloquising the other day some
thing like this: ' "Money we have none,
We are too poor to carry out many legiti
mate campaign schemes. Whether we are
going to get through with all bllla paid
or not I don't know. At first I thought
there would be plenty of funds, because of
a great amount of enthusiasm, but I have
found the enthusiasm disappointing and
the wherewithal most elusive and retreat
ing. I do not like to manage this kind
of a campaign and will not do It again
If I can help myself."
Bo much for the unguarded statements
of Mr. Scott, which, to do him justioa.
were not couched In exactly the words
used but the meaning was tha same. It
Is the sentiment of the democratlo leaders
generally that the Sullivan rainbow la due
to fade from the sky election day. -
A closing spiel Is expected lot the shape
of a baton of dodgers boosting Telser and
Dickinson In tha name of union labor for
circulation especially among the South
Omaha packing houne men. An effort was
made last week to get the Central Trades
council of South Omaha to pass an en
dorsement for these candidates, but It
failed.
"In order that nonreglatered voters may
know whether they have a light to swear
In - their votea today, I wish to have
the conditions thoroughly understood,
said City Clerk Elbourn. "In the first
place his affidavit must be supported by

The two-boys started out early Sunday
morning to hunt. Each of them carried
a shot gun and young Brockdorff had a
revolver. The two boys were shooting at
a fence post and Brockdorff handed the
revolver to Hanson, who fired a . shot at
the post. Brockdorff asked his companion
to return the revolver to him,- which the
boy for some reason failed to do at once.
Then the statement of Brockdorff and the
tragedy followed. The gun was discharged
and the entire load of shot entered the
back of Hanson, who fell to the road.
After the shooting occurred Brockdorff
Immediately started down ths road on
the run. He had gone but a short distance
when he met H. C. Barnes, a contractor
who realdes In Benson. To Barnes the boy
said that a man down the road had been
ascidently shot and naked him to go to
his aasistance. Barnes made the boy ac
company him back to the spot where Han
son lay. The wounded boy was taken Into
Barnes' buggy and conveyed to the home
of his parents In Benson and a physician
summoned.
John McOutre, who Is JusUce of the peace
In Benson, heard of the shooting early tn
the evening, but understood that It was
accident.!, and took no steps at once to
secure the arrest of- Brockdorff. Later
he with Special Deputy James Gallagher
of Benson called at the Omaha police sta
tion, where they left a report of the case.
Detectives McCarthy and Ferris were as
signed to arrest Brockdorff. They went
to the home of the young man about 10
o'clock, but the house was dark, and they
could secure no Information as to hU
whereabouts. About 13 o'clock Sunday night
they made another trip to the place and
found the young man at home.
I Brockdorff Was Excited.
The parents of Brockdorff said, that he
had come home early In tbe evening and
had appeared very much excited - and
nervous, but when questioned failed to
tell them anything of the shooting. Shortly

after his arrival home the family went
to church and the boy accompanied them.
They were at etiurch when ' tHe" officers
called the first time.
After his arrival at the station Brockdrtrff
said he was so excited at the time that he did
not know what to do and did' the flint
thing which came Into his mind, and that
was to run for assistance. When he met
Barnes he did, not know what' to say, but
It occurred to him that It would be better
to deny the shooting, which he- did by
stating that the man had accidentally shot
himself. ' -
The story which was secured from Han
son shortly after the shooting agrees with
that told by Brockdorff, excepting in a few
minor details. The -Hanson and Brockdorff
families have been friends for years, and
the two boys have been playmates for a
long time past It Is not believed by those
who are acquainted with them that Brock
dorff did the shooting maliciously, and. In
fact, the police look upon It as more of aa
accident .than anything else.
