NOVEL THEATRICAL IDEA.

The drama in America will be given
an effective impetus and a new mark
of approval If a plan now being under
taken by Charles Frohman, the emin-
ent manager, should succeed.
Mr.. Frohman is endeavoring to
make arrangements whereby the most
eminent American actors under his
direction may give a series of month
ly performances at the white house
in one-act plays by the foremost
American actors.
For the president and his cabinet
to give recognition in this manner to
those actors who have achieved pre-
eminence in their profession and to
the authors who would be invited to
produce the plays would, in Mr. Froh-
mans opinion, be better than COM
edie Franchise for the encouragement
of dramatic art. Maude Adams, John
Drew, Ethel Barrymore, William Gill
cite, William II. Crane and William
Collier are actors whom Mr.. Frohman
would present in plays by authors OF
the rank of William Gillette, Augustus
Thomas and Clyde Fitch.
With arrangements perfected for
such performances, Mr.. Frohman
would bring his companies from New
York without interfering with any
engagements playing in Washington
theaters. Plans would be so drawn
that the plays could be put on In the
East room of the White House with
out much stage setting. Instead OF
scenery, curtains of different colors
would be used and the lights employ
ed so that a negative tone would be
achieved which could be used to re
present anything.

OPEN PLAY IN FOOTBALL.

Football critics still cling to their
love for the closed game. They even
crticise teams that win by means of
open work and kicking. But from the
viewpoint of the spectator, the open
play is much to be preferred over the
compact playing which has ruled for
some years past. Open playing makes
for more spectacular moments, for
long runs and long bootings of the ball.
But the football critics who have
graduated from the game still look at
compact work as the only science. In
speaking of this feature in connection
with the Nebraska Minnesota game,
the Minneapolis Journal says.
1t is rather remarkable, in view Of
the efforts of college faculties to miti-
gate the rigors of football by the adop.
ton of rules favoring open play, to
find that Minnesota is classed as In
ferior to Chicago because, in her Ne
braska game, she won by field goals
instead Of by touchdowns. There is a
plain intimation in this statement that
the strong team is still the one which
can carry the ball by main force
through the ranks of the opposition.
In other words, strong football is still
connected with strong muscles and
weight instead Of with open work, run
ming, kicking and "heady" play. If
this is the fact, the modifers of foot
ball have either compromised their
ideas or they have gone against some
essential feature Of the game in en-
deavoring to modify it.
The fact probably is that the public
still likes to see the close work, the
battle of muscle and weight on the
field, and that the players like that
kind of game, too.
Very likely open play, which is con-
ducive to the longevity of the players,
will be a growth. 1t is a case where
the real friends of the sport will have
to battle sin8le-handed against the
groundlings, Who clamor for the Ro-
man method of hand-to-hand encoun.
| ter.
That progress has been made is ev.
! idenced by the fact that Minnesota
kicked out her most important victory
at the close of last season, and again
wicked out her most crucial game at
the beginning of this season. But the
verdict for more humane and scien'
titic game cannot be regarded as com
plete until the experts upon football
begin to admit that kicking team is
a strong team instead of weak one
The Journals only error lies in the
fact that the public really does not
prefer closed play to the open style
The long runs and visible ball are
features of the open game.

What more could man desire than
to have helped in the founding Of
town as one of its pioneers, to have
learned while young to work with the
hands and to have thus made an hon.
est living. to have been one of the
founders of the first church in a new
frontier. to have reared a family OF
highly respected sons and daughters.
to have built his own home with his
own hands and, in maturer years, to
dwell in peace and quiet, taking an
active interest in the public affairs OF
the community and enjoying the
friendship and good will of ones
neighbors?
Such a career-a career OF peace
and thrift and community respect
has been that OF Julius Frederick Will
helm Degner of this city, pioneer
blacksmith of Norfolk, always promi-
nent in the public affairs Of the COM

serving in his SEVENTEEN year as coun-
Gilman of the Second ward.
1t was thirty-eight years ago this
month that julius Degner first set foot
on the ground where Norfolk stands
today The village had just started.
He came from Wisconsin to look over
Nebraska and, satisfied that Norfolk
was bound to make prosperous
town, he determined to locate here.
He returned to Wisconsin, got his
family and. in the spring of 1870, came
back to Norfolk to make his perma.
nent home.
First Blacksmith Shop.
Together with his brother, Fred, Mr..
Degner built the first blacksmith shop
in Norfolk. The building stood where
the Pribenow shop stands today, at
the foot Of Braasch avenue on the
bank of the Northfork river.
Both brothers took homesteads east
of the town-on part of the julius
Degner homestead Fred Schwede lives
at the present time. After having
conducted the blacksmith shop for
some time, these brothers sold out the
business and went on their homesteads
to engage in farming, And in 1876
Julius Degner returned to town to
start a new blacksmith shop. This
shop he built on the present site Of
the hardware store Of his son, AL Deg
ner. And he worked actively at his
trade until late in the eighties.
Mr.. Degner at that time built a
home on North Third street. Today
part of that old house serves as the
