MUSICAL COMEDY SUCCESS.

The event of the season will be
the appearance here of Ben F. Gran
er's metropolitan company of com
edians IN the new musical breeze,
The Widow McCarty." This is
not an old slap. stick comedy, sug-
gesting nothing and meaning less,
but bright, crisp, up to the min
ute play, interspersed with the kind
of comedy that appeals to all lovers
of good amusement. I he first
question that the average theatre
goer asks is, Is it going to be any
good? This notice will answer
hat question; it will be and per-
haps more than good. Any attrac-
tion that the eminent producer, Mr..
Ben f. Craner's name is identified
with, is sufficient guarantee unto
itself that it is a superior-article.
Band concert at the opera house
at I O'clock.
Miss Mayme McPharlan will be
seen in that merriest of merry
musical comedies entitled the ovid
ow McCarty," positively the bright
musical comedy success of the sea-
son. The entire production hand,
somely gowned, perfectly presented,
evenly acted by company of COM
e1ians and pretty girls in the latest
song hits, dances and pretty stage
pictures, deliberately costumed, pre-
senting a program lnexcelled for
novel and catchy features and elabor-
ate scenic and mechanicl effects.
Don't forget the date of this big
musical event and reserve your
Gkets early.
Where is no use of having the
hlues when yon can see a good play,
hear sweet music and enjoy your.
self for two hours and a half. Ben
f. Craner and his merry company
Of comedians are booked to appear
at the opera house March 23, pre-
seuting "Widow McCarty." This
is said to be one of the best attrac-
lions of its kind on the road and is
sure to please all lovers of good
amusement.

Charles z. Foster

The republican nominee for police
Judge TO be voted on at the coming
election is Charles 2. Foster, a
young lawyer, clean. capable aud
conscientious Neither before nor
since the primary campaign has any
reputable and responsible person had
a word to say against Mr.. Fosters
personal qualifications and ability.
Everyone who knows him is fully
satisfied that he will make an al
most ideal police magistrate, and
there Is something more in this
promise than mere hope, based on
campaign buncombe.
Mr.. Foster Is not o reformed re-
former suddenly turned agitator to
capture votes; he ia not a loafer,
nor a roubtabout. nor q saloon on
hanger, but is in good standing In
his lodges and other organizations
for mutual and civic betterment. He
is not fanatic, but a man of good.
hard common sense, He Is quiet
and unassuming, but industrious and
vigorous, and has had good expert
ence as practioing lawyer, He is
graduate Of the University Of Ne
braska law school. where he did
credit to Dean Reete and his other
instructors. Mr.. Foster was for
years associated with the law firm
OF Baldrige a De Bord, and for two
years an efficient deputy attorney
under Judge slabaugh As police
Judge he will not be used by any
body, but may be depended on to
dispense justice with strictness. yet
with mercy and sympathy. to the

II such q meritorious young man
as Charles q. Foster should be
turned down by the voters in favor
OF broken-down democratio hack
politician, with an unsavory reputa-
ton and bad public record, there
would be little incentive In the fu-
ture for promising young mon in

The nemooratio Prodiral


Mr Hearst's return 10 the demo-
cratic fold has been pictured as the
Homecoming Of a prodigsl son Be
fore the picture fades, we should
like to congratulate the fstted calf
upon his happy escape, for no feast
Of rejoicing greeted the prodigal's
return. Democracy evidently views
the recsntation with mixed pleasure
and regret The erring son comes
home with a threat upon bis lips.
He turns. on entering, to defy the
head Of the household and his most
faithful aide. He denounces and de-
flies Boss Murphy and spurns Chair
man Mack. whom Tammany has
adopted 10 run the state campaign
in New York along with the national
campaign next year. Mr. Hearst
cartoons Murphy as a king. half-ris-
ing from his throne to bestow a col
lar upon the bowed neck OF Mack
and has Mayor Gsynor in the back
ground, UNFOLDING the royal ones
ermine robes.
IL is little wonder democracy be-
holds this Homecoming with wry
face. Another scriptural house must
picture itself 10 its mind--the house
divided against itself. The prodigal
son returns chesty and defiant, In
steady OF meek and lowly. How
does II make the fathers Of the
household feel7 Does II bring new
cheer 10 Messrs. Bryan, Harmon,
Clark. Wilson. Underwood, Folk and
others? Was not their hope Of peace
and harmony slender enough al
ready7 Mr.. Hearst dsshes back with
such free. happy abandon, kicking a
rail off the old garden fence and cut
ting across lots, rather than open
the gate and walk down the path, as
II TO show his mischievous contempt
for the regular order OF things.
Where Tammany sits IN the com
ing campaign will be the head of
the democratic board, but look out
for this boy Hearst kicking some
body on the shins underneath the
table.

Combating EnIi.tment.

It Is provided by law that an enlist
ment in tho army shall not be regarded
as complete until the soldier shall have
made good any time lost during an en-
listment period by unauthorized absences
exceeding one day. A private in the hos
pitsl corps Of the army was recently
found to have been absent without leave
for two periods and it was further shown
that he was arrested by the CIVIL au-
thorities, was tried by a civil court and
released under suspended sentence and
returned to the military authority. He
was in charge Of the civil authorities for
about six weeks and, from an army
standpoint. was looked upon as having
been absent without leave II he had
been acquitted, the case would have been
otherwise. While he was restored to
duty he was still under suspended sen
tence, was considered in no position TO
render proper service to the government,
since at any time he was liable to be ar
rested and made to serve sentence by the
civil authorities. and his restoration was
not IN accordance with the rule gener-
ally observed heretofore However, as
he was restored to duty this question
was overlooked It is held, however, that
the period OF time he was In the hands of
the civil authorities, together with the
