The Great and Su preme Ruler ot the universe has in His infinite wisdom removed from among us one of our worthv and esteemed fellow-laborers, John Hawley, who was a charter mem ber and first past consul of North Platte camp, No. 672, and Whereas, The long and intimate relation held with him in the faith tul discharge of his duties in this camp makes it eminently be fitting that we record our apprecia tion of him; therefore be it Resolved, That the wisdom and abilitr which he has exercised in the aid of our organization by ser vice, contribution and counsel, will be held in grateful remembrance: Resolved, That the sudden re moval of such a life from among our midst leaves a vacancy- and a shadow that will be deeply realized by all the members and friends ot this organization, and will prove a serious loss to the community and the public. Resolved that with deep sym pathy with the bereaved relatives of the deceased, we express our hope that even so great a loss to us all may be over-ruled for good by Him who doeth all things well; Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be spread upon the records of this camp, a copy fur nished the local papers, and a copy forwarded to the bereaved family.

Hour after hour she retains a bolt-upright position, and never thinks of removing her bonnet or lying down. She attributes the habit to her rigid bringing up, and in speaking of it recently said- to a friend: "We were never allowed to lie down during the daytime when we were children for fear of making- ourselves untidy, and I am so ac- customed to the habit now that I ! should never dream of removing my i bonnet while on a journey.

Stoddard returned to North Platte Monday, after a fruit less attempt to construct a few rods of fence for Senator Allison, the favorite son of Iowa. On state politics, Mr. Stoddard was inclined to be non-commital, although the name of Jack McColl fluttered from his lips once or twice. Socially Mr. Stoddard's visit to Wallace was a ponderous success as usual. L. A. Van Tilborg returned last Friday night from Coolrado, where he is traveling in the interest of of the Beggs Manufacturing com pany, better known as the com pounders ot the celebrated Little Giants."

The Grand Island factory has experienced no difficulty whatever contracting the 3,000 acres of sugar beets. William Baker of Superior, found guilty of being drunk and disorder ly and fined S3 and frills, has ap pealed the-case-to-the district court. A loolish parrot,owned by William Parkes of Red Cloud, feasted on a box of parlor matches and perished shortly afterward in great distress. The mayor of Omaha has voted the "curfew" ordinace, passed by the council of that city to keep chil dren under fifteen vears of are off the streets after 9 o'clock. Some vears ago Grand Island council was besieged with parents asking for such an ordinance. Many newspapers ot the state have endorsed the proposition of I. A. Fort, of North Platte, to hold an industrial congress in this city. The only thing necessary to make it a sure go and a success to boot is for somebody to take tbe initial steps in the matter. Kearney Hub. While John Christner was hauling rock the other day, says the Hayes Center Times, one of his little boys fell out of the wagon, which was loaded with rock, and one wheel ran over its head and neck. Strange as it may seem the little fellow is still alive and is getting along nicely at present. Paul Bigelow a Union Pacific brakeman fell from the top of his car while the train was switching at Chapman Friday afternoon. The wheels passed over both legs, cutting them off just below the knees. Bigelow was taken to the hospital at Grand Island where he died at 6 o'clock last evening. Receiver Slaughter has been com pelled by reason of falling off of patronage of the Lincoln street cars to dispense with conductors and rely upon the honesty of pa trons putting the nickle into the cash box. This bobtail system saves the conductors' salaries and commissions and ought to speedily place the car lines on a paying basis. The teachers and pupils of the Gordon school presented the war drama "Down in Dixie" the pro ceeds to go to the purchase of a library. The result was a curious reality of war. When it came to the selection of the books the teach ers wanted to do the whole busi ness. The pupils regarded it as taxation without representation and they rebelled. There was a fist fight over the matter and the war was transferred from Dixie to Gordon. " Warrants are out and the matter is in the court.

Shortly after eleven o'clock yes terday morning the north side of the center section of the Lexington Mill Co's. warehouse was forced outward with a crash and thou sands of bushels of wheat in bulk and in sack were precipitated to the ground. The noise of the crash was heard by all within three or four blocks of the warehouse. The building was crowded full of grain the bins being filled to the top and sacks piled to the very peak of the roof. Two men were storing- awav sacks when the wreck occurred, but the escaped without injury. About thirty thousand bushels of wheat were stored in the warehouse. Lex ington Pioneer. Through the efforts of tlie Mc Kinlev Club of this citv arrange ments have been made for a special train service on April 13th, for the accommodation of those delegates who have to come by the way of Grand Island to this city. A special train over the B. & M. will make connection with U. P. trains from the east and west at Grand Island, and run to Broken Bow, reaching this city at 6 o'clock p. m. on the evening of the conven tion.
