THREE PLAYS. BY NJ. Douglas
Flattery. Published BY The -Four
Seas Company.
In n very neat volume. these plays
arc presented TO the public. An in
troductory note states that the au-
thor Is vice-president and managing
director of the Loew's Theater Com
pany. and is the owner of the Coplcy
Theater. besides being the builder of
Ave other thcaters. Hence II may
be expected that the playwright has
a technical knowledge Of the theater,
and is conversant with the principles
of the modern drama.
The three plays comprised in tn,
present volume include Annie
Laurie" n Scottish drama, laid short
ly after the period of the Restoration.
In 1868; a crook" drama called THE
Conspirators." and a play called The
Subterfuge." They are listed in the
order OF their merit and Importance

fact, and well-constructed. 1.-THE Con-

has considerable strength of plot and
action. The Subterfuge," on the
contrary, is weak In construction and
in plot, and is markedly inferior to
it's companion works.
The plays In question are evidently
better adapted to the stage than to
the library. Such speeches as arc
ct
are not devoid OF some strength. but
arc frequently bromide and common
place. Mfr. Flattery may rank with
high-class directors, but is not likely
10 take his place among the great
dramatists. j. G. ii.

Lincoln, April 3O.-(special Tclc-
gram.)-William Jennings Bryan
talked on THE Prodigal Son" this
morning to convicts at the state
penitentiary at the request of
Warden Fenton. He likened the re-
curn of the biblical wandering son
to his fathers door and the happiness
which ensued. to the reward in store
for all men if theyv turn to the
right"
Mr.. Bryan Isaid that many sayings
taken as truths are false in their en-
tirety, and pointed to one uttered
years ago that opportunity knocks
but once"
Continuing, he declared this false,
and read an article refuting it. He
promised to have sufficient copies
OF this article printed so every man
in the penitentiary may get one.
Mr.. Bryan spoke tonight at the
First Baptist church.

Quite the contrary is the case.
"This government is proceeding

Close Out Implements.

Guide Rock.-The Farmers I'm.
ion COOPERATIVE association OF
Guide Rock, which has been operat-
ing a general store, cream station
and implement business, has decid-
cd to close out its implement stock.
Practically all of the losses sustain
ed by the association in the depres-
sion was on implements. The asso-
citation will still handle farm ma
chinery, however, but without carry
ing a stock. Farmers will register
their needs in this line, and then the
machines will be ordered from the
state exchange'in Omaha. 1t is be-
lieved that this PLAN will save the
farmers to 10 per cent, compared
with carrying a stock locally. The
cream station has inaugurated a
plan of paying for cream in trade
checks good at the store, which en-
ablcs the association to pay a bet
ter price than in cash.
