Three Buildings at
Harvard Are Burned

Beatrice, Neb., Feb. l5.-(Special.)
Fire was discovered at about 2
o'clock this morning, in the one-story
blacksmith shop of John Schultz, and
by the time the department had ar
rived on the scene, had made rapid
progress and communicated to the adj
joining two-story garage, owned by
N. H. Lewis, and both, were soon en-
veloped in flames. Sparks from the
buildings communicated with rub
bush about a warehouse belonging
to w. L. Gaddis, half block south
east on the opposite side of the street,
and that~building was soon in flames.
This building was used for the stor-
age OF kerosene, gasoline and other
goods, and all connected with it was
inhammable. Bursting kerosene bar
rels made spectacular fire. Fortunate
ly the wind was light and the tempera-
ture moderate, so that the firemen
were not hampered in their work.
The loss on the blacksmith shop is
about $500; that of Mr.. Lewis on
building and tools-he had just put
in a new forge and lot of new tools
about $l,500. Mr.. Gaddis on his
warehouse and contents, probably
$1,000. A small insurance was car
ried on the blacksmith shop.

Nebraska
SCHOOL LAND BILL
. RECALLED IN HOUSE
Members Evidently Determined
to Take Some Action to
Secure More Revenue.
TWO MEASURES PENDING

-
Lincoln, Feb. 15.-(Special. 1.-The
house finding that it had been too hasty
yesterday in voting down the Peter
son amendment to the bill, providing
for the sale of school lands of the
state and that such action was likely
of jeopardize the chance for the final
passage of the bill, today reconsid-
cred the action. The Peterson amend
ment provided that in case of sale
it should be by competitive bids,
while the bill provided that the man
leasing the lands should be given six
months to buy under an appraisal
made by the county board.
Notwithstanding this recession by
the members who want the school
lands sold, in order to remove for
midable objection to their plan, the
bill is not yet certain of passage. An
other measure which may be given the
preference over it was acted upon in
committee of the whole this morning
and advanced to third reading. This
is House Roll 297, by Bates, provid-
ing that 10 per cent of the temporary
school fund shall be distributed
among the various counties in pro-
portion to the gross valuation of their
school lands, based on the average
assessment of other acreage in each
county.
As the Anderson bill. House
Roll No 9, was subsequently recon-
mitted for amendment, this puts the
Bates bill ahead on the third read
ing calendar. The former will, there
fore, be voted upon first, in the ma
tural course of things, and if it passes
the Anderson bill will probably fail.
The semi-annual school apportion-
ments aggregate about $320,000, so
that $4,000 will be distributed every
six months, under the Bates bill, on
the basis of school land acreage and
values. This sum, Bates estimates,
will just about equal an average tax
of 20 per cent that would be realized
for school purposes if the school lands
were subject to taxation.

MOVING PICTURE ATTRACTIONS.
At The Colonial Theatre Tonight.

Evelyn Nesbit and son Russell Tnaw
in powerfully appealing story, Re
demption, will again be the splendid
attraction at the Colonial for this
evening. The story of the play opens
where Alice Loring, the wife Miss
NesbiD, OF young orgughtsman, is
reminded of dark page in her past,
when she was made the victim of q
man OF wealth and social standing.
The man in question discovers her
whereabouts and tries to force her to
return to him. Her refusal lesds TO
the loss of her husbands position. A
battle of sickness leaves the young
woman widow, with young son TO
support. After undergoing many hard
ships she becomes the owner of a sue
cessful dressmaking establishment
The story then leaps forward fifteen
years The son is now college stu
dent. One of his classmates is the
son OF the same man of wealth.
Harry is intr oduced TO his classmates
sister and Immediately falls in love.
Harry's mother. and the girls father
oppose the match but Harry finally
wins her through bis brave act of saw.
ing the brother from death from a
burning laboratory.
Naturalness and humanness are the
outstanding features of this powerful
play. Thece is truth in the story to
amply Justify the theme, and above all
it makes one feel deeply mother love.
Here and there are touches of comedy
to relieve the tense dramatic situa-
tions. Evelyn Nesbit is not only an
excellent screen type, but q remarkab-
ly clever dramatic actress. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful if any actress of Miss
Nesbit's limited dramatic and screen
experience could have given a more
finished performance of the trying
character she portrsys in this strongly
appealing story in which she proves
herself an actress of remarkable emo
tional powers and technique. IRE
demption'' is tense and extremely
interesting production throughout. To
see it is to enjoy something worth
while.
A very interesting Paramount Fic.
tograph will also be shown.
Monday, matinee and evening, the
musical comedy, ''The Katzenjammer
