The North Platte National bank building is

-Milton Nobles was greeted by a large audience
last Friday night in his famous drama of "From
Sire to Son." The Nobles company is strong
throughout, all the actors being well adapted for
their respective parts. Dollie Nobles is a charm
ing little actress and just fits the characters she as
sumes. In going over the country and playing the
same character so many times it becomes monot
onous and a strong inclination seizes the actor to
slight his part, especially in towns where -they
think the people will stand it. The management
also frequentlyjcuts the play. In this respect we
can commend Mr. Nobles. The whole company
seemed to fill their roles up to the standard,
eliciting merited applause.
-Dr. and Mrs. J. W. Hingston were at home
Wednesday evening last, on which occasion a large
number of friends filled the elegant new residence
of the host and hostess, and passed a most pleasant
evening. There were about fifty guests present.
Card tables were arranged in the upper rooms,
where mnny of the guests who are fond of the games
passed time most pleasantly in bouts of whist and
high five. Some excellent music was rendered on
an elegant new piano. About eleven o'clock an
elaborate luncheon was served. It was peat twelve
o'clock before the guests bade their hosts good
ateht and departed for their homes, hoping that
they migbt have the pleasure of enjoying many
such social gatherings at the home of Dr. and Mrs.
Hingston.
Our genial und narrative townsman McEvoy
tells a good story of his school days, and how he
and three of his school mates arranged a plan to
simultaneously fall upon and unmercifully beat
their old school teacher. One of the boys was to
perform an act contrary to the rules of the school
and when caught take the punishment meted out
without opposition. In the mean time when the
flagellation was in progress, Mac and his two asso
ciates were to advance from the rear on either
flank of the enemy, and by a preconcerted move
ment make a bold dash , capture the baltery and pro
ceed to spike the guns. The plan worked admirably,
so says Mac, while the boy Derby was being cud
gelled, until they were on the point of making the
final dash for liberty, when as Mac describes it,
something struck him on the side of the head with
the force of a cyclone, and in about two minutes
and a half, by the chronometer (Mac has always
been a great man for correct time) boys were fly
ing promiscuously, through the air, while every
time the flying objects approached near terra
flrma, the old teacher plied a pair of heavy boots to
their unmentionables and his fists to the boys' ears
till they all roared aloud for mercy. Mac who is
considerable of a moralist concluded his story with
the advice, ''Boys never contract a scheme to
thrash your teacher for you will surely get the
worst of it."
The spacious rooms of the North Platte club
presented a brilliant and happy appearance Thurs
day evening last, on the occasion of the first of a
series of sociables to be given by the club during
the winter. Something over one hundred ladies
and genUemen were present. The reading room
was used as a reception room, where the officers of
the club received and greeted their guests. The
two large rooms back of the billiard hall had been
fitted up with tables for card parties, and they
were soon filled with those who love the fadnating
games of whist and high five. A novel feature of
the sociable was the interest taken by the ladies in
billiards, several playing with much animation and
expertness. At intervals during the evening an
excellent musical program waa carried out, the
participants being Miss Kate BenUey, Mrs. F. D.
Nowell, and Messrs. Williams and Bare, with Mies
Leora Stevens at the organ. The duet by the two
former ladies was exceptionally well rendered and
received hearty applause, as was also the solo by
Mrs. NowelL It was the intention to have a more
varied program, but it being near Chrkteas time
several ladies did not have time to prepare their
music Thus did the hours pass most pleasantly
until after 11 o'clock when the yoaag awn of the
club converted themselves into waiters; the games
were stopped, the tables cleared, cloths spread.
and a luncheon consisting of most excellent coffee
and sandwiches was served. Every feature , of the
sociable was of the awet enjoyable nature and the
-whole affair reflects credit upon the managers.
The ladies especially were highly pleased, bestow
ing their praise without reserve. Thus, the
managers tele that they were amply repaid for
their labors. '

-The prevalence of diphtheria suddenly
caused a cessation of festivities in social
circles. A number of parties in contem -plation
have been postponed, and Christ

The suspension promises to be only of

it can be called, has already about disap

The merchants of the citv have made

The following personal, clipped from
the Tecumseh Chieftain, will be interest
ing to many North Platte citizens, as Mr.
Johnson was formerly pastor of the M. E.
church of this city: Kev f. U, Johnson,
wife and children, of Oceola, are visiting
in the city, with the family of Dr. C. K.
Chubbuck. Mr. Johnson will deliver a

Omaha Republican says: "That diphtheria
is becoming alarmingly prevalent in the
city is longer a matter of concealment,
and the failure of physicians to report
cases to the board of health is doing much
to increase the epidemic." The Paxton
Republican of last week says there has
been a number of cases iu that vicinity.
The long continued moderate weather
has had its effect on local trade, especially
in the clothing business. It is a good
time now to buy overcoats. All grades
are lower and some are sold at cost
Dunn & Co. speak of the mild weather
as likely to produce serioui complications
by the falling off of seasonable sales, thus
preventing retail merchants from meet
ing their obligations; but such results are
not anticipated in North Platte. ine
clothing trade has been below what was
confidently expected, but it has been fair
and our merchants do not make any seri
ous complaint. .Later on tne weather
may be such that the aggregate trade will
exceed the estimates.
The board of health held a meeting
on juonaay afternoon-, -Mayor urmsoy,
Drs. Donaldson and Dick, and city clerk
Roche being present. The attention of
the board being called to certain places
deemed to be nuisances, the city marshal
was instructed to have such nuisances re
moved or abated immediately, also all
others of a similar nature that may be
hereafter brought to his attention. The
marshal should execute this order with
out fear or favor. There are said to be
numbers of places in the business part
of town that are most fearfully foul, and
possibly it would do the board of health
good to take i walk through some of the
back alleys therein. Such things should
not be allowed to exist at any time. If
they' are not detrimental to the general
health they are offensive to the general
nose. Let them be removed.
The farmers of Lincoln county have
been troubled considerably by scab on
potatoes, generally supposed to be the
work of worms. A farmer has informed
us that this can be prevented by planting
your potatoes on new ground every year,
or ground that has not been" used for
potatoes for several years. Never plant
two successive crops on the same ground,
as the' decaying tops and roots of the
plants appear to breed the worms, and
they infest the ground for fully two
seasons after a crop has been grown. As
our farmers generally have plenty of land,
there will be no difficulty in having a new
potato patch each year, and when this be
comes the general practice the quality of
the tubers will be greatly improved .

A man named Gus Murphy co llded
with a freight train Monday evening near
O'Fallons. but not with the usual result
Murphy was walking along the track
toward North Platte! when a west bound
freight train made its-pparance ahead
of him lie appeariy...believed the
locomotive would..f6lloW tBe custom of
wagons and givahaltc therbad . The
machine did not 'do " so," howeverr and
Murphy was tossed to one side. He was
picked up and brought to town on No 2
about eight o'clock in the evening Dr.
Dick was called to examine the injured
man. He found that no bones were
broken and that the external injuries
were comparatively light. Dr. Dick
patched him up and on Tuesday .forenoon
he was walking about the streets. The
engine was not injured by the collision.
On Monday of last week it became
quite evident toat the areaa scourge
aipntneria naa made its appearance in
the city, although it was known only to a
few. On Tuesday the reports became
more general and a joint meeting of the
council and board of health was called
in the afternoon. Dr. Hingston was
sent for and reported that he had treated
two cass of the disease. These being
tne only cases reported, it was not con
sidered necessary to close the schools.
On Thursday morning, however, devel
opments made this step necessary, and
the city schools were( closed? until Ihe first
Monday in January, the uth. While the
malady had not assumed an epidemic
form, wisdom dictated that every proper
step should be taken to prevent its
spread. The places where it had already
appeared were quarantined, and the rec-
ommendation was made that Sundav-
schools and church meetings should not
be held for the present. As auxiliary to
tnese measures, tne people should abstain
from social gatherings as far as possible,
especially tiiose who nave children. In
regard to precautionary measures, they
can best be given by ..competent
pnysicians. o far up to this writing,
Dionaay noon, only two oeatns nave oc
curred. There are four more cases re
ported, the sufferers all being in a criti
cal condition. Witn proper care and fa
vorable weather, the belief prevails that
the disease can be controlled and that its
course will be short.
Later No new cases have developed
up to the hour of going to press Tuesday
evening, so far as heard from. There are
now only four cases under treatment.

As the fifth year of the pastorate of
Rev. Adam Stump is about to commence,
the members of tne JLutheran church
thought it a highly proper occasion to
remember their pastor and to present him
and his family with those substantial
things needful for the strength of the
body and which make life pleasant to
live, and at the same time to1 renew their
assurance of love and esteem. Accord
ingly on Friday evening last they gath

turkeys, etc., and each member carrying
some useful article, the whole making a
fair sized wagon load. The house was
soon reached and when the good people
began to file in and each deposit his bur
den upon the floor of the sitting room,
the preacher and his esteemed wife were
indeed surprised and their hearts were
touched by the loving kindness of their
people. When all bad found their way
into the house, filling every room, R. F.
j? orrest made a short buttouchiog pres
entation address, alluding td the great
and good work accomplished by the pas
tor, assuring him' of the pride his people
took in his success and extending their
cordial assistance. To see the pleasant
and smiling countenances of the parish
ioners as they stood around their pastor
one could not help but forcibly realize
the truth of the saying that it is more
pleasant to give than to, receive. The
good man accepted the tokens of his peo-
pre m ieeung woras, acKnowiedging his
ability to make only half a speech, and
calling upon Mrs. Stump -to make the
other half. These formalities over, some
of the guests retired, but most of them
remained to,enjoy a pleasant and instruc
