U ELLIS COMPANY I§ BIG HIT IN 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 “I1 Trovatore,” as will be sung here were sung there, and Mr. George Brandeis has this telegram from Al ired 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 agrec¢ with me in this verdict.” “Il 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 “Il 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 “I1 Trovatore” proved a hap- py choice and attracted another ca- pacity audience of over 5000. Marie Rappold’s beautiful voice was heard to great advantage in the role of Leo- nore and well merited the tumultuous applavse 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 strong 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 $cala, fully justified the high reputa- tion that preceded 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. Lafe 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 0ld Missouri, Anyway? If you live on fishes, have your home on the water and can prove vou are human, can you vote in Ne- braska? Fred Hunter, whose house-boat is sied 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 comt house told him he couldn't cast his ballot. Fred says he has lived on the Omaha 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. But 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 dewn. HEEP YOUR SHIN FRESH AND CLEAR By Daily Use of Cuticura. It Removes All Pimples and Blotches, My face began breaking out with imples and blotches which itched and Eumr‘d till I was nearly crazy. They ere hard " and ‘red and v 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 burn so that I got very little sleep. ““This went on for about six weeks when I wrote for a free sam[]ale of Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment. It releved me so 1 bought more, and two bars of Soap and two tins of Ointment healed me.” (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 so 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 leeping the skin soft, smooth and clear.

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 finale “close- up” of a happy trio starting for strange lands to begin life ancw—} these are a few of the high spots in| a life that outfictioned fiction. ‘ Daughter, mother and s(ep-father! are making a fresh start in life away from the pitfalls of the city. | \Mysterious Shots | . Cut Clean Holes in | Big Office Window Spat! 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 damadge to the occupants of | the office he was a poor marksman, for the shots came nowhere near any of them.

By building its own cars the Pullman Company has been able to test every innovation which might add to the convenience of its passefigers. 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 every 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.
