For councilman John W. Alexander was unanimously nominated, and for delegates to the city convention the following were elected: Alex Stewart, S. E. Douglas, Geo. W Finn, John Sorenson and Wm Smallwood. At the Secoud ward primary the hose house proved inadequate to ac commodate the crowd which as sembled, and a number left before the meeting was called to order. Some forty odd voters remained however, packed like sardines in the small room. Committeeman Wilcox called the meeting- to order and Ed. S. Davis was elected as secretary. On motion to nominate two candidates for councilmen, the names of R. D.Thompson and C. F Tracy were put before the meeting, aud they were unanimouslv nomi nated: Thomson for, the full term and Tracy to nil tlie unexpired term.

The Omaha Woman's Weekly of February 18th contained the follow ing, written by the associate editor of the Weekly: Last autumn it was my pleasure to attend the Irrigation Fair at North Platte, and while there, aside from the interest in the ordinary things, I was particularly attracted by the woman's building. I naturally felt s"ome surprise that at a place like Noritb Platte, supported wholly by the agricultural district surround ing it, and that district so dry and parched up looking, but for the energy of its citizens in taking up and pushing ahead the irrigating scheme, it could never have pro duced enough to keep them in the necessities of life that there should be enough women with the courage and pluck to build a house they could call their own, in which to exhibit their wares. Upon inquiry I found that the "gray stone" I'm glad I do not have to say "brown" house had been raised by the women of North Platte by a systematic and well directed plan, and that the women had held together and made one long null, and that they had even held little socials, musicals and different sorts of "teas" at the homes of the different members and sympathizers in the cause, and by small sums accumulated the money to erect the building at a cost of eight hundred dollars, and that it was their own. I mean by that, payed for! So much for the "bed- quilt element" of North Platte. Inside ot tuis house we saw upon the walls the pictures of the minds, hearts and heads of the women who had worked for this display. The flag, above the entrance, was laid in the grains of the country and was perfect as to its design and color, and about the room the dif ferent arts, tastes and works of the women told their little storv. The embroidery was as good as can be seen anywhere, and some ot the china painting' better than is seen many times, while beautiful works of art in all the different lines met :very turn. The old time "patch quilt" was there, not jn great numbers for they are out of fashion, but a few in mute re membrance of tlje times that were gone weayed in the zehpyrs and all unconsciously we wondered if she were alive, "the one who had patched into this quilt the experi ence of her frontier life. The build mg- and its contents stands out in my mind as a monument to the in dustry, care and patience of those women of North Platte who, in a time of extreme trial, rose to the occasion, and by their hearty co operation helped, their fathers, hus bands and brotners to make an ex hibition of what can be done with work and water.

A few weeks ago I saw a state ment in one of the North Platte papers, said to have been made by one Geo. E. French, who is em ployed by the city of North Platte as attorney fdr said city, that the occupation tax on public halls was passed by the city council with the full sanction of myself, which is not the case. Now if the renowned gentleman was present at that meeting he should remember that I, claimed that there should not be a special tax on a hall for entertain ments any more than upon other business houses that deal in- luxur ies or lire, borne or tue council pro posed to put a license of five dollars a night on each traveling; company. After explaining to them that I would have to pay that license, which I could not afford to do, as it would take away much of the small profits of the hall; then I was asked if I could stand $25.00 licence per year and I stated that I could if I was protected from other places being used for show purposes, as. had been done without license after r had paid license. I think that the aforesaid legal jut 01 tlie city council nas sue ceeded in persuading the present council and others, as near as I can earn, into the idea that I wished to have a monopoly of the public hall business, which is not the case, though I think we should be sub- ected' to an occupation tax the same as the man' who sells silks, statins ana luxuries or tue one 1- 11 - i-t .1 I T UU1U It UuL UC VGH 1UI LUC O egal light to give his written opin- ion to the city council on what is class legislation, before they com- mence a suit against a man who is financially able to test the matter I object to being misrepresented by w T.invn WANTED 1,000 bushels of wheat for seed and 1 DUShelS OI oats IOr seed.

HARRINGTON & TOBIN. What has the sugar trust to dp with the Nebraska sugar bounty law anyway? Has it not been offic ially established that the Nebras ka sugar factories are not members of the trust? And if they did be long to the trust, would any one object to the trust investing- more money in this state and building more factories here? Suppose the Standard Oil monopoly should de cide to use its resources for the de velopment of the Wyoming- oil re gion and the erection of refineries and warehouses in Nebraska, would anyone one want to stop it? When it comes to reducing- such corpora tions to proper state regulation and control after they are once here an entirely different question pre sents itself. Bee. Advertised JLettern.
