til he was expelled from the ministry

1.-THE MERRY MAlDENS."
The Attraction at the Star Next
Week,

Each new theatrical season brings
new marvels in the way of scenic
effects TO the "Virtue Shall Tri-
umph" type of melodrama, most of
these innovations are usually allotted,
but occasionally an attraction of diff
ferent character offers something
sufficiently out of the ordinary to ac-
casion comment. One such instance
is notable in this seasons presenta-
ton of "The Merry Maidens," heralded
for appearance at the Star theatre
next week. GAIL Aboard" the musical
burlettas which this company offers,
calls for realistic scene on board
ship, and the manner in which this
illustration is placed before the audi
ence is said to be Interestingly unique
and a decided triumph in the science
of stage effects.

an enabling act to allow Nebraska cities
TO adopt the commission plan Of govern
ment Saturday. as outlined by the "A

the report brought in by the special CONE
mission plan committee. which recon-
mended that the Water board be excepted
in the bill.
The attempt Of the committee to dis
crminate in favor of the Water board
acted as a red flag TO many members OF
the exchange and the discussion, which
was exceedingly free. at times grew al
most personal In fact one membey Of the
exchange called the views Of another MEM

The special committee which brought in
the report was composed Of F. d. wead,

ent. These five were the men who voted

In speaking against report Of the com
mittee to except the water board w. H.
Green asked. "Why should We try and
keep few Of our friends in jobs. Let us
get after this thing right or drop it alto
gcther.
Ra,ph Sunderland, former president Of
the Ad club, said that within the last few
days it had been decided TO include the
initiative and referendum features in the
bill. He said exceeding care should be
observed TO not bring in side issues that
would operate against the bill.
h. b. Payne declared that the mention
of the Water board only served to an
tagonize. He therefore moved that the

John p. Breen at this juncture explained

that the entire bill would have to be re-
drafted. for the bin as it now stands makes
no provisions for the election OF other Of
