It seems tne young- ladv was sent money by her father to come home, (to Curtis, Neb.), from school.

The officer failed- to' find the young lad and was com- pelled to return home without her.

Drug Store, - - NORTH PLATTE, NEB. THE Y. M. C. A. RECEPTION. The reception by the Y. M. C. A. to the citizens of !North Platte at Keith's hall Friday evening was very largely attended, the audience beins: estimated at fully 400. The temperature of the room was such cause some the exercises were of a very enter taining nature and the people were unmindful of the heat. The pro gramme rendered was not exactly as had been prepared, several num bers. being cut out in order to give Prof. Clemmons a place, and was somewhat more formal than orig inally intended. mi . jLiie programme opened witn a selection by the Gordon silver cornet band, followed with a duet by Mes- dames Stoddard and Hinman which was well rendered. Miss Nellie Hartman recited in a creditable manner, and the Lutheran choir sanjr an anthem very nicely. Prof. Clemmons, president of the Fre mont Normal school, was then in troduced and spoke for about forty- five minutes on the subiect "What if I Could?" The Professor is very entertaining talker and pleased and interested the audience. This was followed with a solo by Mrs. Doolittle in which that lady proved that she possesses an excellent voice. Miss Eoehne entertained the audience with a recitation and the Catholic choir sang an anthem very well. Secretary Hollingsworth made a brief address and the audi ence was then invited to partake of lemonade and cake whichwas serv- pri in the Y. M. C. A. rooms by the ladies' auxiliary. About 200 ac cepted the invitation and were seated around small tables hand somely decorated with flowers. This part of the programme proved very enjoyable. Probably more would haye remained for refresh ments had it not been for an ap proaching storm. The reception was a success throughout. For sale, a good heavy work team. Inquire at the Wilcox' Dept.
