McKeen, Jr., re turned from the cast Tuesday night, Mrs. G. W. Jones and son re turned this morning from a visit in Colorado City, Col, E. B. Warner received a number of cots and camp chairs today for the accommodation of vi&itors to the street fair. Miss Ethel Evana, who had been spending a couple of months with friends in Portland, Oregon, re turned home last nigut. MisB Irma Cody went to Colum bus this morning where she will be the guest of honor at a dancing party to be given this evening by the Misses Chambers aud Prof. Garlic lis. Miss Cody will returu tomorrow The committee on free amuse ments has been given an addition al seventy-five dollars, making the total appropriation six hundred and twenty-five dollars. This money has been well invested by Chairman McKeen, and the pro gram which he proposes giving the people is pronounced much super ior to the Grand Island program. J. G. Todd, editor of the Gandy Pioneer, was in town Wednesday enroute to Omaha. The committee on concessions announces that it has granted space to thirty-one conccssonaircs, eight of which arc tent shows which have from four to twelve preformerB each. This with tho free street prcformauces ought to furnish Biifficcint amusement for the crowd, W. T. Deun, of Brownvillc, ar rived in town last night and will attend the shooting tournament next week. Mr. Dcnn, though eighty-six years old, is a good trap shooter and will make many of the young shooters "go south." He is perhaps the oldest man in the state to handle a gun. Go-carts to close out at twenty; per cent below selling price. Ginn & Weinoand. The chicken season opens to morrow and a dozen or more local men arc making preparations to day to get an early start in the morning. Chickens are said to be fairly plentiful this season, aud as they have been hunted but little, Bportsmeu ought to experience no difficulty in bringing in liberal numbers tomorrow. There has been placed on exhi bition at Streitz's drug store a box of Alberta peaches grown on Gus Anderson's orchard at Grand Junc tion, Col., that we arc safe in say ing are the finest ever seen in North Platte. They are of such Bizc that two of the largest weigh a pound. Gus' orchard is beginning to bear in good shape, and with ordinary luck it wiil prove a money maker for him. The seventh annual convention of the Frances 13. Williard gospel temperance association recently held m the church in Garfield pre cinct, proved a very interesting one. Morning and afternoon ses sions were held, an- intermission being taken at twelve o'clock to permit the attendants to partake of a basket dinner. Seventeen signed the pledge. The officem for the ensuing year are: A. S. Gregg, president, W. H. Jenkins, vice president; Mrs. Geo. H. Hughes, secretary, and 13. L. Caress, treasurer. Miss Grace Evans, who had been visiting her uncle John 13. Evans for a couple of weeks, returned to her home in Keucsaw, Neb., this morning. One hill farmer brought in twen ty bushels of wild plums this morn ing, from which we should judge that fruit to be very plentiful in the canyons, A new grand stand 20x40 feet is being erected at athletic park, and is so constructed that it can be easily moved from the trap shoot ing grounds to the baseball diamond. It is much needed at the latter place to accommodate the audiences which assemble every game. Doolittle will have Conlettl for the Street Fair. The secretary of the street fair committee has been authorized to correspond with Passenger Agent Lomax in regard to running a special train from Grand Island to North Platte next Thursday. Some time ago Mr. Lomax wrote the committee that audi a train would be run on a guarantee of $350.00, and that the fare for the round trip would be $2.50. The committee now wants to know if the latter rate will apply to all stations be tween the Island and Kearney and Including Kearney. If this be the case the committee will probably put up the guarantee. A new enterprise which had its birth in this city a few days ago is the Eureka Stock Food Company, composed of John Bratt, E. R, Goodman and E. N. Manzer. As the name indicates, this company, manufactures a food for horees, cattle, hogs aud sheep,- and while the food has been used by the individual members of the firm tor a long time, it is only recently it has been manufactured tor sale. Although on the market but a short tunc a number of strong recommendations have already been received by the manufacturers. The -food is manufactured in the city, the Bratt building on Locust atrect being used for that purpose, aud tons of ingredients used in the food hnve been purchased. Stock men and farmers who attend the street fair next week should purchase a sample package of the food and test its goodness. C. P. Davis left this week for Laramie where he has secured a position as clerk for the Union Pa cific company. Business men and citizens gener ally should unite with Chairman Edmonds in his efforts to have the streets appropriately decorated. If the proper assistance is given him, the city can be made to pre sent a yery pretty appearance. During the year ending August 31, 18, Ed Scarle the well known real estate dealer of Ogalalla, sold 320 acres of land. During the year ending July 31st, 1900, he sold 37,700 acres. This is just another prosperity item. We're not finding fault because you do not trade here. You don't khow how much better we can serve you than other stores, that's all. Those new fall and winter shoes arc all ready. Prices $1.35, 1,50, 2.00. 2.50 and 3.00 Selling W. L. Douglas' Shoes aud Dr. Reed's Cushion Shoes. Stak Clothing. Housr.. Arthur PI umer came down from the ranch on the Birdwood yester day and went to his home at Max well this morning. Owing to the great number of flics during the warm weather, which greatly an noyed the cattle, steers arc not in very good condition, and Mr. Plumer will not begin making shipments until the middle of October. The sparring cxhibiton booked for the opera house on Saturday evening of ucvt week between Dick Moore of St. Paul, and Jimmic Nahan of Des Moines, will prove a very clever handling of gloves, and is attracting the attention of sports in all parts of western Nebraska, Two interesting introductory ex hibitious between local boxers will be given prirr to the main event. During the patt few days the tennis playcrB have been indulging in a series of games with a view of ascertaining who arc thc best players, and the two winning the most games will represent North Platte in the scries of singles and doubles to be played with the visiting players who will be here next week. It will require all this week to determine the two best players. T. C. Patterson has been spend tig' the past day or two in Omaha. Mrs. Mary Knott, of Lincoln Ib the guest of Mr. and Mrs. G. L.

A small electric light plant has been constructed for use during the street fair, aud will bo given a test this evening. It will not illuminate a yery large part of the city, but the territory it docs cover will be well lighted. Doolittle will have decorations for the Street Fair. Already there are' a number of fakirs in town, some of whom arc beginning to peddle their wares. Of this class of tellows there will be large numbers next week, aud the air will be filled with their bellowing yokes. The school board will hold its regular monthly meeting next Monday evening," and nmong other business transacted will be the selection of a teacher to fill the vacancv caused by the resignation ui iviiati j clinic tv uhc. gtftfffcfttttCf:tttfttttg $ Railroad Notes. g Record Broken. For the twenty-four hours be-, tween 7 a. in. yesterday and 7 a. m, today nincty-BCvcn refrigerator cars were iced at the plant in this city. The amount of ice consumed was 167 tons. This breaks all previous records for twenty-four hours both as the number of cars iced and the amount of ice used. Operator Hood is entertaining his brother, who resides in Toledo, Ohio. Manager Gilman, ot the telegraph office, is taking a brief vacation and the position is being filled by B. L. Robinson. Win, Jeffers is again working a trick in the dispatchers' office, hav ing been off but three days. His friends arc glad to sec him in hia accustomed place.
