The injunction case against the

At the council meeting Tuesday
Manager Walker presented a bill
tor street lights up to September
1st, the amount being pro rated per
month as the lights were completed,
The presentation of this bill caused
some discussion, one or two coun
cilmen holding that no funds were
available ;for paying the amount
claimed due. Although the com
pany has tiot completed its con
tract as to the number of lights re
quired, the people have bad the
benefit ot the lights that have been
opcated and we believe that the
company should receive pav tor
them. A mere technicality nhould
not Btand in the way of paying a
claim that has been justly earned.
The lightfl., so far as completed,
have given satisfaction and have
rrrtalnly been worth the n'-ir-.
The bill presented was about J375.

One of tbe most novel, interest
ing and mirth-producing plays
which it has been North Platte's
good fortune to wltncns will be the
popular and successful melodrama,
"The Convict'B Daughter," the
great mechanical, electrical and
ticenic masterpiece, endowed this
year with many new and surpris
ing teatures which win be the at
traction at the opera house next
Saturday evening. The plot ia too
well known to call for detailed de
scription and at tins time it is suf
ficient to nay that the startling
realistic pcenes, the introduction of
side-splitting comedy aud the beau
tiful stage settings are alt that the
modern theatre-troer could reason
ably wish lor. The cast is large
and composed entirely ot compe
tent people, which, taken all in all,
makes this production one of tbe
strongest ever seen at the opera
house.
