THE FUNKE.
Among the sterling attractions visit
ing Lincoln this season, none hare
achieved greater financial or artistic
success than "Si Perkins,1 at the Funke
two nights, Monday and Tuesday, April
2d and .Td. The play is filled with
strong situations and thrilling climaxes;
The central figure is an honest-hearted
countryman. Si Perkins is from New
England, and the agent for the Agitator
Threshing Machine company. Hie mis

and his company in particular, taking
care not to overlook No. J. Cupid cares
not whether the human heart is in the
boeom of the threshing machine agent
or Romeo, and he strikes Si hard. Si
circumvents the enemies of his beloved
and in epite of furious opposition marries
her. Many clever skits and specialties
are introduced, and the burlesque-band
from Pughtown is great. Prices 10, 20
and 30 cents.

new settings. All of the many stage
pictures are handsome, correct and elab

act, the pathetic equalor of act second,
the incident of the barrel and the sew
ing on of poor little Rip's suspender
buttons and the doings and sayings of
Noal Vale, his little songs to make the
children forget that they are hungry,
make a fine ensemble. "A Poor Rela
