Nebraska Farmers' Congress Will Meet Here Next Year The Nebraska farmers' congress is to the | Usher and Usherette | Aé ¢he Branders today. The theater has been crowded twice daily during the time this ’llrl’nt production has been on display here, and the Interest shows no sign of slackefilng. It is the most wonderful wlcturing of stirring events ever shown, and its dramatic and other values can not be understood until after it has been witnessed, The manner of presenting it, with a splendid orchestra, and with such other accompaniments as enhance its in- trinsic value and develop its tremendous realism to the utmost, is one of the ele- ments in its, success, Ghostly white, more sure footed than Death itself, flesh ahd blood ghosts of the moonlight night In a war-ruined southland, the avenging Ku Klux Klan swoops down upon the ravishing negro and grabs him up as a fish-hawk its prey, whirling him away, God knows where, to a fate from which there is meet In Omaha again next year.

Ada Belle and Julia Lay Up for Winter River navigation on the Misgouri river between Omaha and Decatur has just been shut down for the winter. Ice is be- ginning to flow regularly on the river, and it 1s only a question of time when the first hard freeze will come now to make traffic utterly impossible on the river. Both the Ada Belle and the Julia, the tow boats that plied the river during the summer and fall, and, are now lying at Decatur for the winter. As the navigation season was nearly half over before the first boat, the Juli arrived from Glasgow, Mo., to begin op- erations, that boat only got to make eight and one-half cgmplete trips, while the Ada Belle, whlrhgamo later, made but six and one-half round trips. The season's business for the boats has been remarkably successful, accord- ing to a report of the Missourl river navigation committee of the Commercial club, A detailed report of the business of the season is to be made by the com- mittee soon. Many of the club mem- bers are more enthusiastic now as to river navigation possibilities than they were before these boats arrived at Omaha. Hides Stolen Pants, but Jailed Anyhow James Willlams, boarder at the home of J. W. Devol, 64 North Twentieth street, was arrested Friday for the theft of & pair of trousers from his landlord. Several days ago a suit disappeared from Devol's room and later the coat was found in Willlams' portion of the house, He was sentenced to thirty days in the county jall, after much mystification was expressed by the court as to whai had become of the trousers. Sergeant Wilson happened into the bullpen immediately after the morning session and was in time to see Willlams stepping forth from the missing apparel. He had worn them beneath the pair he was wearing when arrested. YOUNG LAD HIT BY AUTO DRIVEN BY GEORGE KELLY == An auto driven by George H. Kelly of the Adams & Kelly company struck Thomas Tobin, $-year-old son of C. Pobin, 1407 North Eleventh street, as the Jad, in company with his older brother, Edman, was crossing Nicholas street, near their home. Kelly picked the lad up and brought both boys to police head- quarters. The extent of his.injuries was not fully determined at once, 80 he was | taken to the Lister hospital, where Dr. C. B.

Practically all the remainder ot the startling living panorama (always of course, giving due credit to the history of the United States, to the civil and military experts, who lald out anda planned the battle scenes and were con- sulted as to the different scenes and epi- sodes throughout), is D. W. Griffith's own creation. Those readers of ‘The Clansman,” will easily note Griffith's wonderful improvement over the original when they go to see ‘“The Birth of a Nation,” appearing here at the Brandeis theater. They will also see brought to leaplug life before them all that led up to such a state of affairs, from the in- troduction of slavery into this country to the first shot on Fort Sumter. His- tory has its skeletons in the closet the same as families and Individuals do, and they are no worse off for being brought to light and shown up, even in glaring trightfuiness, to the people who have a right to know. V] Lubin’s big new photoplay of war pre- paredness and the hyphenated American, ““The Nation's Peril,” comes to the Boyd theater today for four days. The picture shows the United States Atlantic squad- ron at actual fire, the sinking of a steamer by their big shells, the artillery attack on a town, mine explosions, the wireless station at work, ete. More than 3,000 men are used in the big battle scenes of the picture. Karl Metcalfe and Ormi Hawley play the leading roles. Secretary Josephus Daniels, Admirals Winslow and Fletcher, Vice Admiral Mayo and all the officers of the Atlantic fleet take a prom- inent part. “The Nation's Perll” has re- celved the endorsement of the Navy and Army departments at Washington and many of the Army and Navy leagues. It has been accorded a volume of praise at every hand by critics of motion pictures and is heralded as among the first three greatest motlon picture productions of the year. On Thursday afternoon and for Friday and Saturday will be shown the phto- play “Nedra" from George Barr Mc- Cutcheon's famous novel. This sensa- tional five-reel drama. ls full of punches, and shows hordes of savages, a typhoon at sea, a stirring battle and a romantic love affair on a tropjcal isle. The cast includes that excellent juvenile actor George Probert, Fania Marinoff and Mar- garet Greene. p —— What do they look like, BOYD these desper- Five Reels Dealing With the Pr Soldiers, quorn and Admiral Wins Featuring the For “The Birth of @ Vation" THE TOPIC OF THE HOUR Smashing Big War Play THE NATION'S PERIL Secretary of War Josephus Daniels Artillery Bombardment Wireless Station EARL METCALFE—ORMI HAWLEY Thursday Afternoon, Friday, Saturday NEDRA From George Barr McOutcheon’s Famous Novel, With GEORGE PROBERT AND FANIA MARINOFF.
