Nokth Pr.ATTK's building rc
cord !n 1899 was the greatest for
nearly ten years, but indications
arc that last year's record will be
beaten in 1900. North Platte is
recognized as one of the best towns
of its size in the west, and it
merits the good name it has won.
JuiKiK'Kr.KCT IIoi.comiii: took his
scat on the state supreme bench
ycstciday forenoon. It is hoped
that the new judge will not prove
so radical a populist as to allow
his intense partisanshfp to get the
better ot his judgment in cases
which may have a political bear
ing. Wm. Lowman, of Hastings, has
just completed the compilation of a
table for the United States govern
ment which gives a comparison be
tween five western states on corn
and wheat crops. The states are
Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas
and Missouri,. The statistics cover
the paBt twenty-two years and show
that during that time Nebraska
stood third in the production of
corn and second in the production
of wheat.
Tub new ruling of Commissioner
lOvans to the effect that all pen
sioners must make out their own
pension papers caused considerable
consternation among the pensioners
when they showed up at the various
offices yesterday to have their
papers made out. The ruling is
causing considerable dissatisfac
tio among the old soldiers because
in a number of instances it is al
most a physical impossibility for
them to make out their papers.
Tun Boers are said to be light
ing for religious freedom, and yet
one of the demands of the British
is that Roman Catholics and Jews
shall have equal rights, which the
Boers deny. It is also said that
the Boers are lighting for individ
ual liberty against plutocracy,
while the cause of the war is that
the Boers refuse to let the Uitland
ers vote. While our sympathy is
with the Boers, they are not alto
gether blameless in bringing to a
focuB the present conflict which
ultimately means their complete
subjugation to British rule.

masters of Lincoln county was
called to meet at the court house

tion. The following postmasters
