The racing committee of the Wild "West Wheelmen held a meet ing Tuesday and formulated the the following race programme for the afternoon of July 4th. Quarter mile, limited to the Wild West wheelmen, time limit. Half mile open to the world. Half mile limited to Wild West wheelmen. One mile open. Quarter mile open. Two mile handicap. One mile novice. Five mile handicap. Best unpaced mile, limited to Wild West wheelmen. One mile, boys under seventeen, limited to North Platte boys. Admission to the grounds will be twenty-five cents; seats in grand stand fifteen cents extra; free list suspended; race riders free. The necessity of getting freight cars equipped with air brakes so as to meet the requirements of the in terrstate commerce law has urged the different railway companies to make strenuous exertions in that direction. All this work must, ac cording to the law, be completed by January 1, 1S98, and it is under stood that an. effort will be made by several roads to secure an. ex tension of time as the great cost is more than they can well begin to meet at present, when their earn ings are so low. The lowest esti mates place the number of freight cars unequipped with air in the country at present at about 60,000. InlS93, out of a total of 1, SOS, 734 cars in the country only 299,027 were equipped with air. Since that time rapid progress has been made in. equipping freight cars with air, and as a large number of old rolling- stock will be replaced with new equipment already fur nished with train brakes before the law takes effect, it mav besately said that not more than 650,000 old cars will have to be fitted with air. Estimating thecost of the work at about 590 to the car, the sum of 558,500,000 will be needed to meet the expenditure that must be in curred by the improvement ordered by law. COXXEfCEXEST EXES (USES. Twenty-sir bright young ladies and gentlemen completed the high school course in this city last week, and Tuesday evening last delivered their essays and orations at the opera house. For a city of North Platte's size the class was an unus ually large one, by far the largest in the history of the city schools. audit could only be expected that a large assemblage of friends of the graduates and citizens would be present at the- exercises. The audience has been conservatively es timated at one thousand, and as the small boy was conspicuously present in the gallery and in the rear of the hall, there was an almost incessant commotion, which was not at all relished by grow people occupying rear seats, and who at times were unable to hear the words spoken on the stage. These disturbances, however, can not well be obviated. In addition to the twenty-six graduates, there were on the stage Professors Barber and Orr, Mrs. M. Oberst, Rev. Beecher, and W. T. Wilcox- Arranged in their hand some white graduating gowns the young ladies looked very sweet, while the young men of the class presented a neat and manly ap pearance." Owing to the large membership of the class even a brief synopsis of the orations cannot be given, and only the bare programme is here with appended: Music Gordon Silver Cornet Band Praver Rev. Geo.

Without exception the orations were well delivered, and the various subjects treated in a manner which gave evidence of careful study and thoughtful consideration. Each oration: was condensed in form, free from vcrbositv, and represented only the essence of the subject treated. Much in little applied welt to each. At the completion of the pro gramme W. T. Wilcox delivered a short address to the class, and Mabel Donehowerand Jessie Blank- enburg, members of the senior class, delivered the diplomas to the arm A rt n f c North Platte has reason to feel proud of its graduating class. Many of the members are home products; bora and raised in the city; and the intellectual position they have attained is creditable to them and speaks well for the efficiency of our schools. May each of those who graduated Tuesday evening' ever prove loyal, true and upright men and women, and may each, as he or she battles with the stern realities of life, conquer each obstacle as well as was done during the school davs. Sacrifice the Millinery. -AT- RENNIE'S.

POLITICAL PAEAGBAPHS. .President Cleveland's objection to the river and harbor bill, that it involves too great a drain upon the resources of the national treasury. comes with exceedingly bad grace from the man who, beyond any other man, beyond all other men in the United States, is responsible for that treasury's impoverished condi tion. Boston Advertiser. The new national party which is pushing a presidential ticket headed by C. E. Bentry of Nebraska finds that under our law it can get its electors on the official ballot with no other designation than "by petition.'T And the worst of :t is, that there is doubt whether it can. get enough names on its petitions to entitle it to a place on the ballot. even as such. Bee. "A prophet" is not always "with out honor in his own country." The people of Canton, Ohio, are so sanguine regarding the nomination of their fellow townsman. Major McKialey. that they have made ar rangements to have a big fire in St. Louis, sounded and a cannon fired the moment the nomination is made. A big and defenceless country like China is kept busy paying in demnities to fighting nations. As a Russian navigation company has obtained a footing at Chee Foo the British will demand heavy damages in territorial and other concessions. The helpless old empire is without army or navy, and forms an object lesson for those who think that the military spirit of a people is of less importance than in former years. Mea WliO Court Death. Probably the most remarkable army division, in the world is the Foreign le gion, of France. It is this legion, which is invariably sent into the greatest dan ger. Whenever there are hardships to be borne to which the French authori ties do not care to expose the regular troops, the Foreign legion is invariably designated for the purpose. Naturally the question, arises, Why is this SO? The character of the men who fill its ranks is the explanation. Almost without exception they are men who, while brave beyond question, have a past which they wish to bury. Many of them are serving under incog nitos and place no value upon their lives. Fully 50 per cent are foreigners, adventurers and refugees. A writer states that hi one company he has found a Roumanian prince who was under suspicion of having-murdered hi3 brother; an Italian lieutenant colonel of cavalry, bearing an illustri ous name, who had been dismissed from King Humbert's array in disgrace, in consequence of being found cheating at cards; a Russian, nihilist who escaped from Siberia ; an ex-canon of the Cathe dral of Notre Dame at Paris, who had been suspended from his ecclestiastical functions in consequence of art offense committed against public morality; an English ex-captain, of the rifle brigade, and a German count who had not only served as lieutenant in the first regi ment of guards at Berlin, but who had also held a position, on the staff of the late German emperor.

President Cleveland answers those who criticises his lavish use of the veto power by claiming that if the framers of the constitution had not intended that the president should use the veto they would not have given him that power. The same course of reasoning would justify any mule in kicking the daylight out of everybody and everything within reach, because nature has provided him with heels. The fathers, when they wrofe-that constitution, never dreamed what strange specimens of anatomy might slip into the presidential chair. Ex. The O'Neill Frontier declares itself against free silver at the ratio of 16-to-l at least until after a Mc- f Kinley tariff has another inning and its effect is noted upon, our monetary and industrial troubles. The Coleridge Blade responds to this sentiment with the query. "What has high protection done for us?' The Frontier answers in pithy and pungent way: "Awake from thy dreams of free trade and tree silver, thou sluggard; go ask the laboring man, heed his answer and be wise. Go meditate in the shadows of our. silent factories; peep in the tax-cursed dinner pail of the mechanic; rattle around ! awhile in the emptv vaults of the national treasury; figure up those bond issues and then tell us what free trade has done for this countrv.
