Mr. Mc Kccn went to Cheyenne Saturday night and will make a trip oyer the division acquainting himself with the work.

The vacancy made in North Platte by the promotion of Mr. McKccn will be filled by Alex. Stewart, late division foreman at lOvanston, Wyo. Mr. Stewart is a North Platte product, having grown from boyhood to manhood in town and learned his trade in the local shops. During the past four vears his ad vancement has been rapid, and he is regarded as the "coming titan" in the motive power department of the Union Pacific. His promotions have been won solely through merit. The people of North Platte gladly welcome the return of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart. Henry Poterson Married. Henry 10.

Fit, and Webster, in 4,A Breezy Time" will be the attraction at the opera house May 6th. A dash and a crash, a whirl and a swish, an electric mnguetic, systematic com bine of grotesque, eccentric and pretty figures extolling a veritable cyclone of fresh, breezy acts and tunelul melodies loaded with the distilled essence ot parody and fun. That's "A Breezy Time" to a' dot. How the clever ecomiqucs, Miss Webster and Mr. Fitz ever suc ceeded in gathci ing such a quantity of clever material and so many bright ideas for an evening's enter tainment is a plesant surprise to the most habitual theater goer.

In the last act of "The Parish Priest" which Dantel Sully is to present at the opera house tomor row evening is .1 tcar-atartiug little scene, the naturalness of which appeals to every auditor . Fr, Whalen, after several futile, attempts to bring the wooiug young couple together, in desper ation produces an old school book of Nellie's, and reads to her a poem written on its flyleaf ten years be fore by her now recreant lover, Dr. Welsh. It is the old, old schoolboy poem, with which wc arc all familiar: "If you love me as I love you, No knife can cut our love in two.', Yet it is full of eloquence for the girl who clasps it, and is the be ginning of the happy ending. Upon this book nearly the entire 'ast act is built, for several strong scenes result, and eyery rustle of that boyish scribbled page finds a responsive echo in the hearts of the auditors. The book appeals because wc all know the power of such a scribble when suddenly re surrected front the dust of long ago. An old schoolbook wafts us back to the schoolroom, and the youthful faces of the playfellows of them peep from beneath the thumb stained leaves. "The author of the play, Daniel L. Hart", said Mr. Sully, "told me that he found that scene on an in cident in his life. For years he had a misunderstanding with a fellow townsman, and they did not speak as they passed by, One day Mr. Hart chanced on an old school book in which, while they were school mates, the man had written, "When you are old and cannot see put on your specs and think'of me.' As he is sentimentally inclined, which is evident from his play, you can imagine the effect it had 011 him. He took the book, called at the office of his ex-schoolmate and they shook hands over the blotted page." Wanted. 100 head of cattle to herd during the summer. Good pasture and plenty oi water.
