J. E. Utt, generat agent of the Rock fsiand in Omaha, has returned after a trip over the company lines within the state. He says that the great question which is now agitating the farmer is 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 much of a crop he can expect, but Mr. Ltt says that the recent cold, damp weather has had & bad effect upon corn. ,“Many of the farmers are plowing up the corn they first planted and are planting new seed. Corn is up in only a few places throughout the state and many of the farmers feel that it will be useless to do- pend upon the seed already planted. Per- sonally, I do mot think that the situation is as bad as many lelleve it to be, but the great question now with the farmer is concerning the possibilities of a good | crop from the seed already in the ground. Many are debating the question of taking a chance with the seed or replanting.” Building Record on the Brandeis ) Half Carload of Finishing Lumber Put in Place in New Building in Five Hours. ) - A record in interior construction was made by the Thompson-Starrett company Sunday 8t the Brandeis bullding when a half a carload of finished material was put .In place and varnished within five hours ¥ atter it had reached Omaha.

The absence of 2,000 or more schedules will affect the totals.

Katherine Van Riper's problem is that of considerable disparity between income and taste; her a ss marriage to a apparent way out, & lov The sordidness of such a bar- rich man. gain gains emphasis when a more desir- able and more desired parti enters the action. Stated abstractly, evading tradesmen's bills and dodging duns is not particularly beating one's way in soclety, buy- ing things for which one'cannot hope to pay, “working” one's friends, this does not sound highly humorous, hor 18 it in ethical essence. But done on the go by a pretty girl, artfully beguiling, harmingly appealing, it may make much merriment and it do And the ethical situation Is quite skilifully saved at the end, so far as that goes. 1t is as a brilllant comedienne that Miss Lang appears this week and her playing of this New York society girl will be long remembered by all who see her, so skill- fully charming she is and a most alluring pleture in lovely modern gowns. Mr. Fricbus Is playing his 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 stage or in fictior. He despises fraud and scorns sham even when politely veneered, but he is not ignorant of the customs and manners of polite soclety. Such a character s 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, unlicked cub, not overly bright, likeable but:-not wholly to be admired. But it is a part which enlists to a very considerable extent the sympathy of an audience; par- ticularly 5o when played as Mr. Dudley Is doing It. Mr. Ingraham s 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 Vaders and Miss Kathryn Sheldon as Katherine Van Riper's family, proud aunts. Miss Hudson is cast as the fair Katherine's duenna and Miss Valentine is a sister of young Buck. “St. Elmo” at the Gayety. St. Elmo, the book, has 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, B. D. E. N. Southworth and Mrs. Holmes. The dramatized version appeals to a parallel dramatic taste and serves to please apparently quite well—multitudes of people who are deeply interested In the ladyfying process which Edna Earle under- goes and the folling of the plots against her by the woman with the dark, dark past. Miss Haller is appearing to advantage in the leading feminine role of the play and its sweet and noble hero is personified by Mr. De Forest.

For sec- ond degree murder, the verdict of Satur- | day night, the maximum punishment is life imprisonment. | “Masourides has mixed feelings on the | verdict,” said s attorneys. “He is ot course glad that all danger of the noose s past, but he thinks he should have been acquitted. For a good while after he was first imprisoned he believed that he wae in grave danger of being lynched. He was taken to the penitentiary for safe Kkeeping for a month after the shooting and while there he was told he would be lynched when brought back to Omaha." McCormick Bound for Golden West Vice President of Southern Pacific Passes Through on Way to New Job. E. 0. McCormick, former assistant traffic director of the Harriman lines, passed through Omaha Monday while enroute to San Francisco, where he will assume the new duties of vice president of the South- ern Pacific in chargs of traffic. He was accompanled by Harrison M. Parker of the advertising firm of Ntack & Parker of Chicago. “I am going to take up my new duties,” sald Mr, McCormick, “and 1 am going to California, the state of wonderful possi- bilities. This year will be an exceptional one for those who cultivate the soll. The snows and the rains have been ideal for an excellent season and Calitornia will sur- pass herself this year in the 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 in Nebraska can 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 culti- vated. As far as the rallroad business is concerned in California I can only say that conditions are also ideal and everything is moving along quietly, but steadily.” Mr. Parker, who accompanied Mr. Me- Cormick, was the man who first formed the motto “Eat Raisins.” He managed a campalgn from his Chicago office to inter- est the people in California raisins. Thief After Change in ’Phone Booth Is Evidently Driven Away by Shock Received from Charged Wires. While ettempting to rob the cash con- tainer on & pay statlon telephone at Union depot early Sunday morning, an unknown thief touched & live wire, receiving a shock which made him desist before reach- ing the lonesome 10 cents within. An inspection of the telephone on Mon- day to discover the cause of its failure to work showed that the machine had been crippled in an attempt to open the change compartment. The work was done with a key from a rallway brake shoe, a slender wedge like bit of metal. Two tiny burned places in the mechanisra showed where the current from the telephone has “arced.” The tool was found lying in the bottom of the booth.
