Crabtrcc, the state high school inspector, spent Tester day in town inspecting the work of the city schools, He first became aware of the decision of the su preme court concerning the free high school law while here und ex pressed great regret concerning it He thinks that in time the lecisla ture will paes a law similar to that of Dakota making the state pay a certain sum of money to each high school which reaches a standard, the high school then to receive all pupils who apply regard less of whether they are residents or non residents. 9 Spring Styles For the Boys....

Douglass wno moved into the Casey house on west Fourth street. Notwithstanding the number of houses that have been built and are being built the demand for houses to rent Is still largely in excess of uie supply, witnin two davs after one house was vacated last week Bix different persons tiled applications to rent it. 11 is quite probable that a number of five and six-room houses will be built especially for renting purposes during the coming summer. The supreme court decided Wed nesday that the new free hiirb school law passed bv the last errn. laturc is unconstitutional because of the injustice in taxation. Thin county has paid the North Platte board ot education about thlrtv dollars for the tuition of non-reai. dent pupils and the board has another claim for four hundred dol- lars due. The decision of the court will cause all non-resident nunlls to pay the expense of their own tuition ns was formerly the case and .abolishes the countv hiiri. bcIiooI. An effort is now being made to induce Colonel Cody to convert his rauch west of town into a diary farm. With the large barns on the ruiich and with nearly a thousand acres in alfalfa, It would certainly make a model diary farm. Should Colonel Cody decide to make this move it would create quite a boom in the diary business in this sec tion, as it would induce other owners of real estate adjacent to the city to engage in the business. There Is no question but that dairying on a big Bcale will pay handsomely In this part of the state. Gun Club Mooting.

Yesterday being Lincoln's birth day the llag was displayed upon t lie high school building but unfor tunately the person who first put it up must have been standing on his head because he ran it up with the stars at the bottom. It floated that way for several hours before its ignominy was discovered and a change made. People who observed it thought something terrible must have happened to this great and glorious union.
