Review Of the
Palm Program

A dandy program last night
With one exception, it was all
comedy, and the only drama
that was shown entitled " Broth
er Man" was about as neat a
little picture as could be cared
for. The acting in this parti-
cular picture was great, and
the photography work was
beautiful. The comedies "The
Great Secret" and "The Vagar-
les of Love" were very interest
ing, and the picture of the" Act
ors Fund Field Day" was ex-
ceptional. The stunts that they
pulled off would fill a book, and
each one was good enough to
deserve special mention. The
program of last night and to-
night was not on the slap stick
comedy order, that a person
tires of, but it was a program
of pictures that command at
tention and the comedy situat-
ion could be appreciated with
out splitting your sides.

Died

Lon Chalfant died at his
home on West street last even
ing at 7:45 after an illness of
just a few days. He was born
in Wainsburg, Penn, Jan. 18th,
1849, where he lived until about
eight years of age when he
came to Nebraska with bis par
ents. He came to Missouri.
Valley in 1881 where he wss
married to Miss Louise Ohlen-
dorf in 1883. His wife and
two children are left to mourn
his death, Fay and Fern.
The deceased was one of the
best known men in this city es-
pecially in the railroad circle,
having worked in the C. & N.
w. shops here for thirty years
as a machinist. AS a mechanic
he had few equals and his loss
to the railroad of this city Wi l
be seriously felt. His main
characteristics in life were
punctuality and neatness. In
the local shops where he
was employed he had a
certain place for every tool
and his work bench was always
the pride of the shop. When
ever he was put at a job the
foreman could rest assured that
he would finish it and that it
would be done in a proper way.
Though Mr.. Chalfant had
been failing in health for the
past year nothing serious was
thought of his last illness until
a few hours before his death.
He started to work as usual
Tuesday morning last, but re-
turned to his home shortly af-
ter 7:30 and gradually grew
worse until death came to his
relief at 7:45 Wednesday even.
ing. Funeral services will be
held from the home Friday af-
ternoon at 2 o'clock. Burial in
Rose Hill cemetery. The re-
mains may be viewed at the
home on West street, between
the hours of 10 o'clock a. m.,
and l o'clock p. m, Friday. The
deceased was a member of the
la. O. U. w. lodge in this city.
