' The people of North. Platte gave
the wheel club minstrels a very
hearty reception at the opera house
Friday evening-, the ticket sales
amounting; to $244. This is indeed
a neat sum, but the performance
deserved the patronage accorded it
and there are few, rf anyT in the
audience who were not well satis
fied with what they saw and heard.
At the conclusion of a well ren
dered overture by Profc. Gariich's
orchestra, the curtain rolled and
disclosed about forty colored rem
men seated on the elevated stae.
The opening: chorus "The Wild
West Wheelmen," the words of
which were composed by J. B. Mc
Donald, was foUowed by solos by
Messrs. Shaffer, Hart man, Sullivan
ChamberIain,Thoelecke, McDonald,
Clinton and Friend, each acquit
ting himself in a creditable manner
and responded to encores.
The second part consisted of
solos by Misses Blanchard and
Wright- of Sidney, both of whom
rve evidence of having well culti-
vated voices. The same ladies
also rendered a duett which was
heartily encored, as were also the
solos. Following" these delis-ht-

THE "WILD WEST SHOTS'.
Philadelphia. Pa., April 23.
Ed. Tribune: Yesterday I had
the pleasure of visiting- the great
Wild West show of W. F. Cody, and
I can assure you it is a dandv. I
went out to the grounds some two
hours before time for the show to
open, with the hopes of meeting-
Col. Cody. I asked at the gates if
Col. Cody was in and was informed
he was in his tent at the back part
of the grounds. I told them I was
from near North Platte and was a
friend of the Colonel. This was
ugh. I was taken in charg-e and
conducted to the Colonel's tent.
where I was treated as he always
treats old friends. After an hour
and a half of pleasant talk with the
Colonel he called one of his men and
told him to set me the best seat
it the big- tent afforded. It soon
became known that I was an old
friend of the Colonel's and I received
every attention possible. The show
is all that is claimed for it: brinsr-
f forth so many scenes of real
life in the far west. I also met
John Baker and met a hearty wel
come. The features of the Wild
West show are so familiar to your
readers that I will not enter into
detail, bnt must say no one should
miss it. Johnnie Baker performs
the wonderful feat of standing- on
head and breaking jrlass balls
every shot. North Platte may well
be proud of CoL Cody.

THE "GAIL"" OJTHacCOIX.
In a recent issue of the Lincoln
Call there appeared the folk) wing
editorial: From the press comment
tound in another column, it appears
that the Hon. Jack MacColl is the
popular candidate for governor.
Without compromising- any candi
date we can safely say Mr. MacColl
is talked about more, and more of
the influences that make state
officers favor his nomination than
any other name yet mentioned for
the important office. Republicans
well know that Jack MacColl has
never attempted to force himself
upon the party for any political
favor. Whatever prominence he
has had, has come from the efforts
of his friends; never from his own.
Defeated at the different times
more from the fact that he would
not tolerate the methods used by
his rivals, he has in eery instance j
accepted the result with dneseit re
spect and generous impulse, always
according- to his successful rival
the most loyal support without
pledge or favor, or even the need of t
the slightest solicitation.
At this time it must be truth
fully said that no Nebraska repub
lican stands so near this high office
by every natural right of just and
honorable promotion as has Jack
MacColl.
Besides the western half of the
state is entitled to the governorship
withont f usrther delay on any pre
text whatsoever. Candidates for
this office have been chosen from
the eastern, northern, southern and
central portions of the state, but as
yet the western half has been denied
the high privilege of providing-the
state with a governor.
Every other section is obligated
to the western half by right of rota
tation firsthand secondly. Jack Mac
Coll is entitled to this honorable
distinction by his splendid loyalty
to his party and it candidates, his
long- identification with the best in
terests of our people and his gener
ous contributions to the develop
ment of the state.
We can do no better than select
Jack MacColl for governor.
