On Tuesday ninety-eight entries were
made at the land oflice and $2,000 in cash

At tlxc meeting of the city council

Sixth and Spruce in the street during the
time he is building the brick block on the

Sixth street to drain the slough in the
west part of the city.

Good Enough for Chicago.
The editor of the Chicago Daily Herald
has been to the Sells Brothers' Circus,
and this is what he has got to say about it:
"If there is one virtue above all others
which, when found in a circus manager
should be extolled to tho skies, that virtue
is candor. That virtue is found in the
Sells Brothers, who, strange as the state
ment may appear to those in the habit of
rcadfeg circus literature, advertise merely
what they have, and exhibit exactly what
they advertise. Their show now on the
Lake Front, st the usual spot, foot of
Hadtant street, is a good one and the
thbusaods of people who packed the tents
yesterday appear to think so."

lower than in any year previous. The
estimated amount to run the schools is
about $12,000, $1,000 for building and
repair fund, 1,000 for incedentals, 000
a year for coal, and the balance, $0,400,
for teachers wages. It was estimated
there would be 4,000 from licenses, and
to raise the remainder by taxation would
require a levy of about fifteen mills, an
amount the board did not feel justified in
making. Under these circumstances it
w:is proposed to reduce teachers wages,
23 per month on the principal and 10
per month on each subordinate, effecting
a saving of about 2,000. There will be
ten months school in the city and six
months in the country districts.

Should one take atrip through the
Wild Horse Valley, lie will soon be
convinced that this is no desert. Small
grain never looked better in Illinois or
Iowa. Corn is up, and of thousands of
acres, there appeared only one small field
with a poor stand. Improvements are
going on wherever you go. Fences are
being built, prairie broken and houses
erected. Though mam frame houses are
being put up the majority are sod. I
know of parties who come from eastern
cities, accustomed to city conveniences,
who prefer the sod house. They are
warm in winter, and cool in summer. One
is surprised to go into oue of these
dwellings and find the inmates playing
classical music on grand square pianos.

With her graded streets and other

Standing in North Platte proper and
looking south from any street, you will
see houses standing in the streets. Why
should not these streets be straightened V
It will be cheaper now than in a few

on the 11th reported to the County
Clerk the amount of indebtedness
from the several school districts on
account of the formation of new
districts and division of school
property. He reports District No. 1
indebted to outside districts in the
sum of 2,249.01. This large
amount arises from an overestimate
of the school projierty of No. .
Miss Honn estimated the property
of No. 1 at 42,525, and this valua
tion was fixed before the two new
school houses were built. Steps are
about to be taken to appeal from
the decision of Miss Honn in fixing
these amounts.

NOTICE TO TEACHERS.
At a special meeting of the Board of
Education of this city held on the 11th
inst, the salaries of all teachers for the
next year were reduced as follows : Prin
cipalof schools from $125 to $110 per
month, and all other teachers in the
district, $10 oach per month from the
present rates paid. Tho necessity for this
reduction is caused by the extraordinary
depreciation in the assessed valuation of
property in the district, which would
materially cripple the district's finances if
the present salaries were continued.
By order of the Board of Education.
