v THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY. OCTOBER 19, 191t. ELLIS COMPANY IS BIG HITjN TOLEDO Organization Soon Coming to Omaha Wins High Praise at Its Opening. BOTH OPERAS SUCCESSFUL The Ellis Grand Opera company, which comes to Omaha on Monday and Tuesday evenings of next week as part of the Associated Retailers' con cert course, has evidently scored a tremendous hit .in Toledo, where it opened its season on Monday eve ning. The same operas, "Carmen'' and "II Trovatore," as will be sung here were sung there, and Mr. George Brandeis has this telegram from Al fred B. Koch, president of the Na tional Retail Dry Goods association of America: "The Ellis Grand Opera company opened with us last night. The stars and the orchestra gave a performance far greater than our expectation, and a greater performance was never giv en anywhere. Five thousand Toledo ans agree with me in this verdict." "II Trovatore" a Winner. The Bee has already published a notice of the opening performance, at which "Carmen" was given with Far rar in the name part, it now has this news from the second night, when "11 Trovatore" was sung: Toledo, O., Oct. 18. (Special Tele gram.) The Ellis Grand Opera com pany gave its second performance at the Terminal Auditorium last night. Verdi's "II Trovatore" proved a hap py choice and attracted another ca pacity audience of over 5,000. Marie Kappold's beautiful voice was heard to great advantage in the role of Leo norc and well merited the tumultuous applause awarded her, while Louise Homer, who probably has no equal in the part of Azucena, fairly revelled in the music of the second act. The ad mired contralto fulfilled every expec tation, and the vast audience was quick to respond to the beauty of her voice and her great dramatic gifts. Morgan Kingston surprised by his 6trong and true tenor voice and brought down the house by his sing ing of "Diquilla Pira" in the third act. Giovani Polese, the baritone from La icala, fully justified the high reputa tion that Dreceded him and displayed a powerful voice of lovely quality. Cleofonte Campanini again conducted a very spirited performance, in which the chorus and orchestra covered themselves with glory. Laf e Young and the Alfalfa King Will Talk to Bankers "In the Trenches, or Five Months in the War Zone" is the subject of a talk to be given by Lafayette Young, publisher of the Des Moines Capital, when he appears before the Nebraska Bankers' association in Omaha Oc tober 25. H D. Watson, the alfalfa king of Kearney, Neb., is also to address the bankers. He is" the man who is given credit largely for getting Ne- braska prairies so quickly covered with alfalfa, for he insisted it could be done when others- declared the climate and soil were not adapted to it Herbert Quick, too, author, farm life expert and member of the federal farm loan board, is to address the bankers. "Business Development Through the Federal Farm Loan Act" is to be his subject. The convention is to cover two days, October 24-25. The Hotel Fon tenelle is to be headquarters. Who Owns the Old Missouri, Anyway? If you live on fishes, have your home on the water and can prove you are human, can you vote in Ne braska? Fred Hunter, whose house-boat is tied off shore near the foot of Doug las street, and whose livelihood is gained by luring fishes with wriggling worms from the muddy Missouri, wants to know why somebody in the couit house told him he couldn't cast his ballot. Fred says he has lived on the Omalia side of the old Missouri for the last year and asserts that his resi dence is in Omaha. He says the land maps of the city are wrong when they don't include one-half of the river-bed as this city's real estate. Voting precincts do. not include the river, either. Hut Fred hasn't fought the fishes for years without getting some of the battle spirit into his blood. He's going to try again to register and he's going to feed worms to the court house fellow who turns him down. n By Daily UseofCuticura. It Removes All Pimples and Blotches. "My face began breaking out with pimples and blotches which itched and burned till I was nearly crazy. They were nard and red and finally festered and broke, making my face a veritable open eruption, and it went to such a state that my em ployer ordered me to lay off work. At night my face would itch and bum so that I eot very little sleep. "This went on for about six weeks when I wrote for a free sample of Cuti eura Soap and Ointment. It relieved me so I bought more, and two bars of Soap and two tins of Ointment healed me.6 (Signed) Alfred T. Burns, Jr., 133 Sears St., Dayton, Ohio, April 17, 1916. Cuticura Soap not only works wonders in all cases of skin troubles but its prop-, erties are o mild and so delicately combined that it is also ideal for every day use in the toilet. Cuticura Ointment applied to any irritation, pimples, rough ness, etc., will do all and more than the majority of expensive creams in keepingthe skin soft, smooth and clear.

The campaign hereabouts has taken a new turn. The democrats have been harping on the kept-us-out-of-war stuff and he-averted-a-strike ar gument until Charles E. Hughes spoke in Omaha. Now the most se rious issue of the campaign among lo cal democrats is the fact that Mr. Hughes chooses to wear whiskers in stead of having a smooth facial area like the president. Thus have the democrats raised the campaign to a high plane of lofty thinking. Ac cording to democratic doctrine, it is a crime to wear whiskers. Now that the real issue of the campaign has been defined, it is believed the fight will be a bitter one for the next three weeks. Heckling Charles Evans Hughes seems to be about as profitable a pastime as spanking a porcupine. Harry J. Hackett is busy at repub lican county headquarters arranging local meetings for the remaining three weeks of the campaign. County Chairman F. S. Howell will go to Benson Friday evening to address la boring men and others on the real meaning of the Adamson wage-raising bill. A. C. Rankin, an iron moulder of Chicago, will speak next Monday evening at 8 p. m. at Jefferson square and at 9 p. m. at a place to be se lected in the South Side. North Side Republican club is to meet Thursday night at Holmes hall, Twenty-fourth and Burdette streets, where republican candidates will speak. Pardoned by the Governor, Edna is Starting New Life Like the plot of a Clyde Fitch play or the scenario of a "heart-throbbing, smashing, modern five-reeler," is the story of Edna Burns Gibson. Born when her mother was but 12 years old, thrust out upon the world at a tender age; tossed like a chip upon a turbulent ocean in her battle for existence, finally receiving a jail sentence; mother and daughter re united after being in ignorance of each other's whereabouts for eighteen years; pardoned by the governor at the last minute, with a fnale "close up" of a happy trio starting for strange lands to begin life anew these are a few of the high spots in a life that outfictioned fiction. Daughter, mother and step-father are making a fresh start in life away from the pitfalls of the city. Mysterious Shots Cut Clean Holes in Big Office Window Spatl Spat! Two girls and two men, working in the Cadillac company's office at 2060 Farnam, looked quickly up from their desks to learn what caused that queer noise. . Two round holes in the big plate glass window offered the explanation, bullets had passed through the glass and had cut their way as cleanly as though they were diamonds. The holes were about the size of a pea. Police are at a loss to explain what kind of Shot cut the neat holes. If the man behind the gun intended any personal damage to the occupants of the office he was a poor marksman, for the shots came nowhere near any of them.

Through, e service or the Pullman Company it is not only possible to secure in advance accommodations in a car never crowded beyond its normal capacity, but it is possible to enjoy, while traveling, comforts and conveniences usually associ' ated only with the most modern hotels in larger cities. By building its own cars the Pullman Company has been able to test every innovation which might add to the convenience of its passengers. Constant ventilation, comfortable temperature, electric lights, electric fans, modern plumbing and other distinctive features of the Pullman car have been provided in spite of the difficulties arising from the natural limitations of car construction, and the fact that these conveniences must at all times be available while the car is moving from place to place, A brief comparison of the early Pullman car, with its oil lamps, coal stove and almost entire lack of conveniences, with the modern steel-armored sleeping or parlor car, sanitary, electrically lighted, automatically ventilated, steam heated and supplied with evtry comfort and convenience that ingenuity can devise, testifies to the progress which has been made by the Pullman Company in fifty years of continuous service to the traveling public. The Scenic Columbia River Route to the Great Pacific Northwest Is also the shortest route from Omaha to Portland and Seattle and affords the only through standard and tourist sleeping car service between these points. In arranging your trip to the Pacific Northwest be sure to specify Union Pacific System the route that affords a daylight ride along the famous Columbia River with its ever changing pan orama of interesting, and awe-inspiring scenery.
