Two MOtherIess Girls in Home Folks
Company Playing at the
Boyd.


More than stage interest centers about
two members of the Home Folks company,
playing at the Boyd. Omaha people who
knew the late Police Judge Learn particu-
larly may feel the touch of human interest
In these two members. They are Misses
Lizzie and Alice Learn, playing the part
Of schoolgirls. They are 1S and 10 years of
age, respectively. and are serving their sec
ond season before the footlights
The girls were left motherless in infancy
and as soon as able began earning their
own livelihood. Possessing natural talents
in the line Of histrionism they yielded to
their own inclnations and the advice of
friends to try for the stage. At the end of
their first season with this company the
manager re-engaged them as a tribute to
their good work. Both the young actresses
enjoy their careers and are conscientiously
devoted to whatever task is set before
them.

and quite a BIT OF good comedy. The
singing parts are. well placed. the coined

Thinks.

City Clerk Elbourn says the registration
books are in such shape that the registra-
ton Of September 10, which has been de-
clared invalid by Judge Troup, can be made
over without much inconvenience. He an
ticipated a decision OF the kind and had tbs
books made large enough so they could ac-
commodate many more names Of voters
than exist.
Registration boards will be instructed to
cross out the names of men who registered
the first day when these men appear and
register again." says the city clerk IF
there is no temperance the names viii not
be crossed on and will be allowed to stand
This will be In the nature of a precautlon
to protect the registration and election Off
GERS in case citizens maintain that once
having registered in good faith they have
o right to vote. Inasmuch as the supreme
court has not passed on the point think

IT LOOKS GOOD TO WARNER
Hepublican state Chairman Says No
II. Complaints Have Come from
Any Part of Nebraska.

Chairman Warner Of the republican state
committee spent the day in Omaha on his
way from his home in Dakota county to
Lincoln.
Everything seems to be in the most
promising condition for the republican
state ticket" said Chairman Warner in
answer to a question. I'VE have not had
single report indicating anything wrong
anywhere in the state and we have had
only three or four requests for assistance
in the way of furnishing speakers for meet
ings. Everyone is convinced that II is a
republican year and our chief danger Is
that overconhdence win keep people away
from the polls and thus reduce the major
ity which we ought TO have.
while am I'm Omaha I am going to see
the railroads ana ask them to put in a half
. rate fare all over the state to enable people
TO go home and vote We have not made
any requisitions on the railroads this year
and they ought to be glad to accommodate
the public to that extent.
II am sorry to hear about the registra-
ton complication here in Douglas county
The only thing to do is to make sure that
every republican who registered on primary
day is properly registered again on one OF
the two remaining registration days"

Ready for wolf HINT.

Pete Watson of Marsiand says the wolf
hunting business has been rather slack for
few years past but there is likely to be
some fine sport this fall and winter. He is
one of the most famous hunters OF the
west, having killed many OF the great gray
wolves which breed in the Pine Ridge
country and infest the grazing lands to
the south and west. He has four of his
original pack of stag hounds and says he
thinks OF getting them together before long
to round up few of the marauders. There
