J. E. Utt, general agent of the Rock

over the company lines within the state,
lie aaya that the great question which
how agitating the farmer la to determine
how much corn will have to be replaced,
The wheat troubles are nearly over, or at
least the farmer has estimated about how
munh of a crop he can expect, but M
says that the recent' cold, damp weather
has had a bad effect upon corn.
, "Many of the farmers are plowing up
the corn they first planted and are planting
new seed. Corn la up In only a few places
throughout the state and many of th
farmers' feel -that It will be useless to do
pend upon the aeed already planted. Per
sonolly, I do not think that the situation
Is as bad as many l.tlleve It to be, put
the great Question now with the farmer
is conoernlng the possibilities of a good
crop from the aeed already In the ground
Many are debating the question ot taking
a chance with the seed or replanting."

If John Masourldes ia sentenced to more
than ten years for the murder of Officer
Edward Lowry, his attorneya will fight
through the supreme court again.
"We shall file a motion Tuesday in dis
trict court for a new trial," said J. M.
Macfariand of his counsel. "It the court
overrules that and imposes a sentence
which la greater than the equivalent of
manslaughter, then we shall take the case
to the supreme court which I think will
commute the sentence to ten years."
It Is regarded as likely that this motion
will be argued before sentence Is Imposed
and it is generally believed that Judge
Redick will overrule the motion. For soe-
a tang of really vital Interest. Katherine ond degree murder, the verdict of Satur-
Van Rlper's problem Is that of considerable
disparity between Income and taste; her
apparent way out, a loveless marriage to a
rich man. The sordldnesa of such a bar

able and more desired parti enters

this New York society girl will be long
remembered by all who see her, so skill
fully charming she is and a most alluring
picture In lovely modern gowns,
Mr. Friebus Is playing hla first leading
role here. He is cast as the young Idaho
mining engineer who finally wins the day
and the girl. The playwright drew ' a
character worth while in Tom Jaffrey. He
Is a modern western man of a type fre
quent in real life, but not occurring very
often on the stngo or In fiction. He despises
fraud and scorns sham even when politely
veneered, but he Is not ignorant of the
Postmaster Williams Suffered Acute customs and manners of polite society.
Such a character ia accurately defined by
Mr. Friebus.
Rivaling Jaffrey for the hand of Kather
ine Van Riper Is Montague Buck, scion of a
newly rich father. Montague Buck is a raw,
unllcked cub, not overly bright, likeable
but -not wholly to be admired. But it ia a
part which enlists to a very considerable
extent the sympathy of an audience; par
ticularly so when played as Mr. Dudley Is
doing It.
Mr. Ingraham la Buck, sr., gratitude is
due him for softening the asperities of the
part making a character and not a cari
cature of a roll easy to cartoon. Two
other excellent bits of the play are done by
Miss Henrietta Vadera and Mlsa Kathryn
Sheldon as Katherine Van Rlper's family,
proud aunts. Miss Hudson is cast as the
fair Katherlne'a duenna and Mlsa Valentine
is a sister of young Buck.
Albion Man is
Rushed to Omaha
to Save His Life
Attack of Quinsy, Necessitating
An Operation.
Postmaster George TV. Williams of
Albion, Neb., Is a patient at the Methodist
hospital. He waa operated on Saturday
evening by Dr. Patton, after a race against
time to reach Omaha. Saturday afternoon
Mr. Williams suffered an acute attack of
quinsy, and for a "time hla life seemed to
be immediately threatened.
A special train was secured at Albion,
which rushed the suffering man to Colum
bus in time to catch the limited on the
Union Pacific. The operation was per
formed aa aoon as Mr. Williams reached
the hospital and gave him quick relief. He
ia now improving rapidly.
A record in Interior construction waa
made by the Thompson-Starrett company
Sunday at the Brandela building when a
halt a carload of finished material was put
In place and varnished within five hours
after It had reached Omaha.
Delayed ln transit since Friday, the car
reached Council Bluffa about noon on Sun
day. A special train waa made up and the
car switched to the Great Western freight
depot ln Omaha. Here Frederick Weston,
manager of the company, bad the material
hauled to the theater and office building
by fifteen teams. Workmen were standing
ready to put the lumber In place, and,
following them, came the painter's crew.
Kt T o'clock that night, 40 per cent ot the
shipment waa in place.
The first to move Into the new building
waa the land office ot the Union Pacific.
The big ateel safes were put ln place Mon
day morning. The two Brandela buildings
will together furnish office to more than
100 physicians. Th Omaha offlo ot the
Associated Press will occupy quarter ln

Marconi Joins
Omaha Ad Club
Mel Uhl, Jr., Gets the Wireless In

The Omaha Ad club is getting to be an
International affair. Slgnor Marconi of
wireless telegraphy fame Is the latest ap
pllcant for membership. Hla application
will be voted upon favorably at a meet
ing of the club at noon Tuesday at the
Rome.
Slgnor Marconi's application comes about
from the enterprise of Mel Uhl, Jr. Mr.
Uhl was a passenger on an ocean steam
ship recently with . the Inventor and be

the two had grown quite chummy, Uhl
produced an application blank for member

"84, Elmo" at the Oayety.
St. Elmo, the book, haa quite a vogue
with a large number of people those who
were wont to care for the novels of Charles
Carvin and "The Duchess," Bertha M.
Clay, E. D. E. N. Southworth and Mrs,
Holmes. The dramatised version appeala
to a parallel dramatic taste and serves to
please apparently quite well multitudes of
people who are deeply interested In the
ladyfylng process which Edna Earle under
goes and the foiling of the plots against her
by the woman with the dark, dark past.
Miss Holler is appearing to advantage in
the leading feminine role of the play and
its sweet and noble hero is personified by
Mr. De Forest.
E. O. McCormick, former assistant traffic
director of the Harrtman lines, passed
through Omaha Monday while enroute to
San Francisco, where he will assume the
new duties of vice president ot the South
ern Facifio in charge ot traffic. He was
accompanied by Harrison M. Parker of the
advertising firm of Stack & Parker of
Chicago.
'I am going to take up my new duties,"
said Mr. McCormick, "and I am going to
California, the state of wonderful possi
bilities. This year will be an exceptional
one for those who cultivate the soil. The
snows and the rains have been ideal for
an excellent season and California will sur
pass herself this year in th agricultural
line.
'By properly taking care of the soil and
cultivating it intensively the California
farmer can earn more money from ten
acres than the farmers ln Nebraska enn
from 160. This comparison holds ' good
with any of the eastern or middle western
farms. The future of California- depends
upon the extent to which its land Is cult!
vated. As tar as the railroad business is
concerned In Calif jrnia I can only say that
conditions are also ideal and everything
Is moving along quietly, but steadily."
Mr. Parker, who accompanied Mr. Mc
Cormick. was the man who first formed
the motto "Eat Raisins." He managed
campaign from his Chicago office to inter
est the people in California raisins.
