Judge II. M. Grimes has recently
come into possession of a very in
legating relic which he values very
highly. The relic is a pleading in
a case tried in the district court o
Sangamon county in 1852- in which
the linn of Lincoln and Ilcrndon
of which Abraham Lincoln was the
senior member, were attorneys for
the plaintiff, An inscription on the
lower part of the pleading "So
doth the plaintifi" and the signa
tn re ot tne nrm is in iwincoln s
handwriting. This relic was given
the Judge by fonner classmate who
compiled a life of Lincoln and dur
ing tin, time he was working on it
gathered together a great man
Lincoln relics. He sent the plead
ing and a precipe, the Judge to re
tain whichever he wished and a
the pleading had on it more of Liu
coin's handwriting than the precipe
he retained the former. Th
precipe is to be sent to ex-Speaker
Tom B. Reed.
MO MORE DARKNESS.
After "lo these many years" of
depending on lanterns, tallow can
dles and other primitive devices
for relieving the gloom of our
streets when the moon is not shin
ing, there is a prospect of plenty
of light in the near future. For
some time superintendent Cun
ningham has been urging the
owners of the water plant here to
add an electric light plant. Owing
argcly to rather strained business
relations which existed for n num
ber of years between the city and
the company, owing to the former
laving acted hi bad faith, the com
pany for a long time turned a deaf
ear to his appeals, but as the rela
tions with the city arc now quite
satisfactory and there is a strong
demand for lights, the company
las at last agreed to put in an
electric light plant providing the
city will agree to reasonable terms.
Supt. Cunningham has been in
structed to correspond with the
councils in other Nebraska towns
where electric light plants are in
operation and obtain their schedule
of prices. With these schedules
to guide it the company will in the
near future submit to our city
council a proposition to put in an
electric light plant and furnish the
city with electric lights.
The waterworks company is in a
position to put in a plant more
cheaply and give far better service
than any other company possibly
could and it behooves every citizen
who is interested in the welfare of
the town to do everything in his
power to push the project along
and encourage the company. No
one thing has so retarded the
growth of North Platte and tended
to give visiting business men a poor
opinion of the town as has the lack
of proper lights, and now that there
it a prospect of this lack being
overcome there should be no apathy
shown in the matte r.

Miss Thoelecke was the hostess
at a very enjoyable party given at
her home last night in honor of her
brother Lute. Cryderman's carry
alls transported the guests from
town to the Thoelecke farm and
the trip out and back was a very
pleasant feature of the evening's
enjoyment, because the night was
as perfect as only a Nebraska
winter's night can be. The evening
was spent in playing guinea of
various sorts and telling fortunes.
The latter developed considerable
merriment as a number of the for
tunes were very apt. Just before
midnight a very dainty supper, of
which oysters formed the piece dc
resistance, was served mid shortly
afterwards the guests started on
their homeward trip carrying with
them the memory ot a very happy
evening. The guests were the
Misses Minnie Sorenson, Josie
Goodman, Jennie White, Delia
Marovish, Grace Duncan. Minnie
