The fire department desires The Tri RUNE to correct the impression that part of the money subscribed for the firemen's tournament will be used to defray tho oxpenso of the carnival. The carnival company comes without a guarantee and gives the fire depart ment a per centage of the receipts for the privilege of exhibiting.

Among the collection are some that aro rare, and they are given es pecial care. Mr. Hess can tell you the name of each, its peculiarities and its native home. Mr. Hess says that from January to December he has some kind of an outdoor flower in bloom, this be ing possible by tho protection he gives them. To lovers or plants and flowers it is quite a treat to visit this home, and visitors are assured a cordial wel come by Mr. Hess and his sister Miss Hess. Will Plant Trees Some time ago a committee from the Commercial Club solicited funds to send a committee to Omaha to interview Mr. Mohler, and a'so to create a fund to bo used for ror.d purposes. The total amount raised was $289.50, and of this $52.98 wbb used by the Omaha committee, leaving" balance of $236.52. At tho meeting of tho Commercial Club directors Tuesday evening it wus voted to use this balance in planting trees on both sides of tho road leading from tho south end of South River bridge to the experimental farm. The state experimental farm is n permanent fixture and will constantly expand in size, value and usefulness, and a nice driveway leading thereto will exhance the general appearance of conditions in that section.

Dear Madam: Spices since the early dawn of his tory have been considered drugs, but with the ad vanced (?) meth ods of competi tion this line grad ually passed from the shelves of the pharmacist into other hands, un fortunately, in many instances, at the expense of quality. The new Pure Food Law again places com petition on an even basis and we take this means of ad vising you that we arc dealers in Bp pltp Ml OT LOU LA U 3 -tM Spices of the highest quality, in fact, "As good as nature grows." Respectfully, Schiller & Co., Family Druggists. Wilcox Shoots Again.. Mr. Editor: I see that tho $100,000 bond voting committee has had another meeting and decided that they would not insist upon a special election for voting tho bonds, tho reason assigned being to savo expense. This is to bo commended, and is very considerato on tho part of tho committee, for if wo havo $100,000 bonds thrust upon us, we must all economize on every point pos sible. I noticed there were not near so many names mentioned as being present at the last meeting as tho one of August 1st. In fact if the commit tee continues to decrcaso in tho same proportion it will not be long until all there will bo left of it will be ono lone "Cassibianca standincrunon theburninr deck, whence all but ho had fled." 1 find upon inquiry that there aro a number of Peters among tho names of those mentioned on the former com mittee. Some tell mo they were placed on tho committee without their knowledge Or consent, and they vehe mently deny that they were ever dis ciples of this bond voting scheme l have heard a new argument ad vanced within the last few dayB as to why we must voto theso bonds, that is. by reason of tho unsanitary condition ot tho present court house, and l am told that it has been in this condition for twenty-fivo years. It seems so strange to me. if this court house is in such bad condition, that so many good men have been continually trying to break into the court houso offices dur ing all of these years, and after they have been in for two or moro years they aro just as anxious to try it again. It must be that tho unsanitary condi tion has been kept a secret until quite recently. The public must bo prepared lor all kinds of foolish reasons being advanced from now until after election. I see that funds aro to be rnlBed and n vigorous bond campaign waged by this self-sacrificing committee. l suggest a united and determined opposition on tho part of tho progres sive and consistent voters of our county. There should be a petition circulated by some resident in each school district, and tho signature of every voter se cured. I suggest the following form: "We. tho undcrsicned. legal voters in school district No. , hereby agreo to work and voto on election day against the issuing of $100,000.00 court house bonds." With theso petitions as a basis wo can organize for tho opposition cam paign, which will have to bo prosecuted without funds. W. T. Wilcox. For Sale or Trade.

Notwithstanding tho threatening storm which drove tho attendants home two hours earlier than they intended to leave, the Elks' picnic at tho Halligan grove west of town yesterday after noon and evening proved a very enjoy able affair. The total attendance ex ceeded one hundred, among the number being fifteen or moro from Hershey and several from Gothenburg. Most of theso arrived on the grounds about tour o'clock, where different sports wore en gaged in until 6:30 when tho basket lunch was served, the lodge turnishtng lemonado and ice cream. The cornet band, accompanied by a number of ladies, arrived about seven o clock and rendered several selections, and every body was getting ready for tho even ing amusements when the storm clouds appeared and there was a general hustle tor home. Tho storm, however, did not nsaume severe preparations, and thero was general regret that the home ward journey was taken instead of re maining and taking shelter in the tent and tho conveyances, and resuming tho festivities after tho storm had blown over. Notice to Hunters. Mrs. W. F. Cody wishes to inform the public that there will be absolutely no hunting or trespassing allowed on the Scout's Rest Ranch this season. Authorizes New Addition.

Tho Commercial Club has appointed n committee of flvo to confer with tho city council rclativo to making some arrangements to sccuro land for a city park. This is a subject that has been con sidered at times for tho past twenty years, but nothing definite was over dono. Evorybody now realizes that a mistake was mado in not securing land for a park years ago, for by this time tho trees would bo good bIzo and tho park provo n much needed recreativo rcaort. Then land within a rcasonablo distance of the center of town could havo been secured at a less figure than now. If North Platto is ever to havo a park, now is the time to mako the Btart. Let us profit by tho mistake wo mado in not starting the project twen ty years ago. i COMMISSIONER'S PROCEEDINGS. August 10, 1908.

Others say there is no need of a new court house at all, but if vault rooms is needed spend a couple of thousand and build it.
