Of ih eleven democratic memher of the
cjty council only three are certain to
their plana for re-election In the ipflng.
Thee are Jeff W. Bedford, who wa
fleeted county commissioner; Pt E1ss
er of th Tenth and Dr. J. C. Iavl of
the Eighth' warda. Tha other are waiting
to tee what chance tli legislature leave
them.
' Bet your aweet life," aaid Elsasser when
asked whether he would run for re-elec-
Uon. "Sure, I am a candidate: I am sl
waye a candidate when tha people want
me and tha people wont me. Didn't they
elect me? And I am for Jim, too, bet your
life."
"Yes, I have positively decided to be a
candidal for re-election." said Dr. Davla.
"I must run so ai to find out Whether tha
people endorse my action In tha council.
The only way to determine whether you
have done good work, in tha ayea of your
constituents; la to run for re-election."
But with Eliaaser and Davla all cer
tainty ends, though W. 8. Bheldon, council,
man from the Sixth ward. !a fairly aura
he will come up at a candidate again.
"A far as I know I will be a candidate,
hut there Is the legislature, you know, and
1 will not look too far In the future," said
Mr. Bhrldoil.
Here Is where the "rub" seem to Of.
If the legislature passes a "home rule"
bill, throwa Omiha wide open and In gen
eral turns everything upside down, then
the whole kit and caboodle of the demo
cratic party will feel safe in running for
office.. If the legislature Is "safe and sane"
then the present office holder will have to
figure more closely on the future and de
cide whether they want to risk another
campaign.
, Jo an so a Walt for I.eglelatare.
L. B. Johnson, councilman from the
Fourth lind president of the council, say

tirely on what the legislature does. a. F.

the reply made by Lee Bridge, councilman
ifftm the Second ward, without giving any
ifson for not knowing. Millard Fillmore
KUnkhouser, councilman from the Eleventh
ward, aays It Is entirely too early to ask a
man what he is going to do next spring.
Jaff W. Bedford, councilman' from the
Twelfth ward, will resign In another month
to take his seat as county commissioner,
so he will not t a candidate for r-eotlon,
but one of the conditions upon which hi
successor will be chosen Is tha explicit un
:b; standing that he will stand for. re-election.
Ardy Hansen, councllmn from th First

Clyde Fitch was In a merry mjod when
M wrote "Girl." He did not put a
omber thought in It, nor a touch of
pathos, are one or two bit of Irony that
m'ght have a paThetic turn If pursued far
enough, but the bubbling laughter that
follows the course of the play from first
to last 1 So steady In Its flow as to wash
away anything like a thought, and only
the fun Is recalled when one sits down
to review the proceedings. As a farce It
I a success, but not such as to outshlno
other successes achieved by th author.
It (Wsn't deserve criticism, and will get
none here. It la frankly making fun of
the suffragette, and yet In a good humored
way, ed""that even the most ardent cham
pion of woman and her "rights" can hardly
find fault with It.
Miss Pamela Gordon 1s a dear, and
doesn't know it. Phe baa A foolish notion
that she hates men, and tries to prove t.
Around herself, she drawa Miss Kate West,
and Mies' Violet I.endsdowne, and organ
lies a triumvirate bent on the extermina
tion of mere man. And so they work for
their dally bread, and go without It part
of the time, and resort to various make
shifts, such as using a Morris chair for a
bed, and cooking their chocolate ever the
flame of an alcohol lamp, and pretending
they are happy. Incidental'?, an Intimate
glimpse of a "hen roost," as the Janitor
calls the place. Is given, when the girls
get ready for bed. Much taking down of
hair and removal of shirt waists and skirt
and donning cf "nlgiitlea" and removal of
stockings, and finally the exposure of a
pair of daintiest, pinkest tootsies to the
full view of the audience, gives a Ml of
realism to the performance, without the
which It would not be a Clyde Fitch farce.
It Is deftly done, and modestly, and oc
casion not a little merriment among the
feminine portion of the audience, and close
attention from the masculine, .supposed to
know little or nolhlng of Such doings In
real life.
And right Into the midst of this prepara
tion for bed on tho part of the three,
comes th man. He dart In through the
unbolted door to the studio. Just a young
cub who ho been dining with a young
married woman in the absence of her hus
band. And the husband, an aged friend of
the young man's father, comes home quite
unexpectedly, and flight is all thst saves
the youngster from a serious situation.
He explain to the girls and they finally
end him across the air shaft on nn im
provised bridge. The rest of the atory Is
asy, If It does take two acts to tell It.
Pam weds the young man who Invaded the
studio; Kate wed a theatrical manager,
who I going to make her a star and an
actress. If possible, and VI gives over her
maiden Independence to become the guard
Ian angel to a lawyer' cleric with, a
crouch and a dislike for a cold- hall bed
room. ,
Besaie Toner 1 pretty enough to rnore
than deserve all the compliments paid her
during the progress of the play, and she
enacts her rule with good taste. Ethel
Orey Terry Is beautiful, and makes a
charming picture en deshabille, and Buxette
Jackson Is simply pretty or prettily simple,
Just a you will, as Kate West. Miss Lock
adds a Fitch character In her usual quaint
way, and Mr. Stanton's Janitor is up to the
popujar idea ot that functionary, Tho
others are good, and the whole farce is
played with spirit that makes it enjoyable.
Two great holiday audiences luughed heart
ily and applauded warmly at the Boyd yes

LYDIA E. P1NKHA
Nature And a woman's work com
bined hae produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our .Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that baffle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Finkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pe
culiar ills, more potent and efiica
clous than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 15 KG St,
Louisiana, Mo writes :
" Complete rMtoratios to health

of other ufferlnf women I am willing
to make my trouble public
"Vor twelve year I had been suffer

the Kri(.
Two capacity audiences attended the Krug
on Thanksgiving; day to hear Jus llorlli
sing and yodle and Incidentally to see th
interesting play In which he I appearing
this season. Aside from a generally satis
factory supporting company, there Is a
clever little girl In the cast and also two
handsome St. Bernard dogs. These prove
to be popular participant In the production,
although the tenor voice and musical abll-I
Ity' of Mr. Horti are th feature of the
offering. In the third art he shows his
versatility by, playing on several different
instruments. A quartet also is well re
ceived and sings a few selections. In brief
the story of the piece Is jf the crown prince
of a small German state, who comes to
America and Is later wanted to return to
his native land to assume the dutlea ot gov-,
eminent. Th hunt for the prince, the
machinatluns of the villain and the love
of Frits, the wandering musician-prince,
for a Kentucky girl, form the basis of the
action, while enough German, black fac
and Juvenile comedy is introued to pre
vent the plot becoming tiresome. Tho piece
continues at the Krug for the remainder
of the week, with a matinee on Saturday.

drama, who delivered som Interesting ex

struggle between Roundhead snd Cavalier,
Illustrated by atercoptlcon views.
The contest between Charles I and Par
liament furnishes several of the most dra

for that matter in the history of the
world's civic progress and In days when
tha word Puritan has come unfortunately

tertainment of last evening, but the defi
ance of Charles I by Cromwell snd Psrlla

gi emaUc and roused lUe hearilcsl and most i
continued applause of the evening. In this
scene C. K. Kerrlng as Oliver Cromwell,
after throwing down the gauntlet to King
Charles (Dr. W. O. Henry), proclaims the
revolution In a. ringing address vibrant
with genuine emotion and patriotic fervor.
He closed, the scene with a long speech, but
through which he kept the Interest well
sustained, and wa rewarded with three
elevations of the curtain demanded by the
wildly applauding audience. Dr. Henry and
Rev. J. E. Ilummon as John Hampden also
appeared to good advantage in this scene.
Part III had been preceded by a short
scene representing a debate among Cam
bridge university students over the civil
and religious problems which England and
Scotland were then facing, particularly the
attempt of Charles and Archbishop Laud
to force Presbyterian Scotland to accept
the ritual of the 'Established church. Part
I was a showing of Puritans and Cavalier
vlelng with one another in praising Ood.
Tht brought the entire company on th
stage in marching evolutions and singing
Oounod's "Praise Ye the Father."
Part tv waa the scene at Cromwell's home
following the victory at Maraton Hill and
the rout of Charles at Naseby. This
brought the Puritan maids and Cavalier
lassies back on the stage whence they had
been excluded In the two preceding scene.
Mrs. J. E. Pulver opened this scene with
a well sung vocal solo, "Oh, Praise th
Lord." Scene v, "The March of Peace,1'
n processional beautified with floral hoop
carried by the marcher, closed th net
entertainment, the assembled hundreus
winging "Let Us Crown Him."
The music of the evening was not th

achieved.
