THE Royal Chef" Containing About
FIFTY People, Has About Four Times
as Much Good Music as "Prince Of
Pilsen."
There is every indication that the
Norfolk Auditorium will be filled to
its capacity limit next Tuesday night
for the opening feature of the theat.
rical season when THE Royal Chef"
one of the very best musical comedies
ever produced, will be seen here for
the first time.
Norfolk and north Nebraska always
did love musical comedy. The Prince
of Pilsen" still fingers in Norfolk's
memory as one of the most delicious
feasts of wit and music that ever
came along. And THE Royal Chef"
is show along the same line, except
that The Chef" contains about four
times as much clever music as was
heard in THE Prince of Pilsen."
Shows This Winter? It's Up To You.
It's altogether up to Norfolk as to
whether or not this city will have the
pleasure of seeing more good shows
this season like The Royal Chef"
Mr.. Frazee, who owns THE Royal
Chef" is one of the greatest musical
comedy producers in the country. He
has a half dozen other big musical
comedies along the same order and 1t
will depend upon the size of the audi
ence Tuesday night as to whether or
not more of Mr.. Frazees productions
can be secured later in the season.
THE Royal Chef" is a guaranteed
attraction. The Auditorium manage
ment takes the responsibility of guar
anteeing it to the public of Norfolk
as one of the brightest, cleverest and
most attractive musical comdies that
Norfolk has seen.
An effort will be made to book a
number of very excellent attractions
this season, providing the theatergo
ing public will support them.
The Royal Chef" on Tuesday night
affords an opportunity to Norfolk tC
say whether it wants good shows OF
not.
The seat sale will start Saturday
morning at O'Clock in the business
office of The News. Mail orders may
be sent in now.
Tuesday night will be primary cleo
ton night and, as the polling places
in the state do not close till o'clock
it will be after the show before any
| figures on votes will be available.
| Norfolk being a center, it is eX
pected that many of the leading citi
zens of towns near Norfolk will come
to town Tuesday night to see "Tht
Royal Chef" and to gather in primar!
returns later.

Dah,man Strongest Candidate.

O'Neill Democrat: The race for
the governorship in Nebraska this
year is going to be a most interesting
and exciting contest. 1t is apparent
that Governor Sheldon Is much strong
err than Taft in this state. The Dem
ocrats have three men seeking the
nomination, Ashton c. Shallenberger
George w. Berge and James C. Dahl
man, and in choosing among them we
should see that the man selected is
the man that will make the best race
and the best governor when elected.
Shallenberger is well known in Ne
braska, having mad e the race two
years ago against Sheldon-and was
defeated. He is a very able man, a
good speaker and well equipped to
hold office of such prominence.
Berge, who has been a candidate for
the nomination of governor for
number of years, is n man Of weak
personally. AS a lawyer and an edi-
tor he has not been eminently success
full. He has few close personal friends,
his apparently egotistic manner being
repellant, yet he is undoubtedly sin
cere in his advocacy of democratic
principles. He is good public
speaker, but in power can only be
likened to an engine having an ex-
haust exceeding it's boiler capacity
when he makes a speech he requires
long rest before making another.
James C. Dahlman appears for the
first time as a candidate for state
Office. Dahlman is a man of strong
personality, absolutely honest, frank
and fearless. He is a Nebraska pion.
eer and has made his way to the front
alone and unaided. He is a shrewd
| business man, and throughout his ca
reer in western Nebraska, and his
many years as commission merchant
in South Omaha has retained the high
est esteem of thos with whom he has
had business dealings. He is the best
mayor Omaha ever had Both com
merciallyy and financially Omaha new
er made such strides as under his firm
administration. He has his faults like
/
concealed-his frankness is proverbial
He believes in the licensed saloon as
against prohibitiOn-so does Sheldon
| Two years ago Sheldon received the
united support of the liquor interests
in his race for governor-Dahlmar
would divide this support with him il
a race this year, This is not an argu
ment, but statement of condition!
political. Dahlman has a legion O.
warm personal friends Throughout
every portion of Nebraska-men whC
have known him since the days o
wagon trails in this state, and mel
who would lead strong campaign fo
his election. In our judgment, afte
a careful review of the situation, W,
believe Dahlman is many Thousand
votes stronger in Nebraska than eithe
of his opponents, should he be calleC
upon at the primaries to make thu
race.

The Ball Game.

pulled off promptly at 1880 so as to

the ball going, but was knocked out

from his delivery and the bases filled,
Kirkland was placed in his stead for
the balance of the game. Bradley OF

TR|PP COUNTY LAND

COUNTRY TO BE OPENED is VERY
WELL WATERED.
SELLING NOW AS HIGH AS $50
Decided Indian Lands In Trip County
are Bringing From SIS to $40 IN
Open Market Right Now-Great
Opportunity for Poor Man.

Gregory, S. D., Aug 27.-Special to-
The News. The opening to home
stead settlement of Trip county viii
bring in million acres of as fine
land as can be found In one body any
where in the world. The country is
gently undalating and covered with
buffalo and salt grasses. The soil
is deep, rich black loan, very pro-
ductive and very fertile and will grow
tremendous crops. The country is
well watered by more than a dozen
large creeks and the Keya Paha ana
White rivers and has an abundant
rainfall. Decided land in Trip county
is now selling at from SIS to $40 per
acre with no improvements. The
price from the government for the
lands to be opened to settlement VILE
be Sc per acre for all land filed upon
prior to June first.
1t is needless TO say that the open
ing of Trip county to homestead
settlement will create the greatest
land rush in the history of the
United States. This will be one OF
the last chances for poor man to Sc
cure farm and home which is GER
tain to make him fortune in few
years.
At the same time that this vast
body of land is thrown open to home
steaders, the government will also
locate and survey several new town
sites, one of which will be the county
seat of the new county soon to be or
gained and sell the lots at auction
1t is thought these townsites will be
located along the line which will be
followed by the Northwestern rail-
road when they begin the construc-
ton of this branch on through to the
Black Hills. 1t is expected that large
numbers of investors will secure To-
cations in these new towns and that
| two or three of them will be cities
of a couple of thousand inhabitants
as soon as opened. Particularly will
the county seat of the new county
spring into prominence as a young
municipality.
