The Tuberculosis Exhibit.
Mr. Cnspor, having in charge tho
tuborculosis oxhibit sent out by tho na
tional association for tho prevention of
tho "whlto plaguo," is now in tho city,
and tho oxhibit will arrive in a day or
two. It is oxpocted that Mr. Cosper
will bo ready to open tho exhibit noxt
Saturday and remain one week.
To assist in this important work
Mayor McCabo nnd President Evans,
of tho Commercial Club, has appointed
a temporary local committee of fifty
residents. This committee will meet
at tho court room this evening at which
timo Mr. Cosper will bo present and de
tails will bo arranged for tho oxhibit.
Out of Money.
Tho general fund of tho city has
bcon depleted, tho amount of warrants
issued having roached tho sum raised
by tho sevon mill levy, nnd this condi
tion occurs when but one-half of tho
municipal year has passed. Thin
means that tho salaried officers of tho
city, including tho marshal and pollco
mon, must wait six months for thoir
mono;, or sell tho orders for their pay
at a discount, or olse borrow monoy
and pay interest; and tho same will
apply to thoso who work on the streets
or do hauling for tho city. This is not
a good condition for tho city to be in;
in fact It is an unfortunate condition,
for no ono will caro to givo their ser
vices to tho city and wait six months
for thoir pay or discount tho amounts
duo them in ordor to get tho cash.
This condition has not been brought
about by extravagant oxpondituros,
but rather that tho lovy made by tho
council was too low. Instoud of re
ducing tho levy to soven mills it should
havo bcon retained nt ten mills.
North Platto is a growing city, and
although tho valuation has increased,
tho needed improvements in the way of
street work, crosswalks and liko
necessities havo increased in greater
proportion than tho valuation, honco
tho exhausted gonoral fund at tho end
of tho first six months of the fiscal
) ear. This condition is likely to provo
embarrassing to tho administration,
as needed imp'ovomonts will probably
bo deferred until next July.
Christmas Exercises.
Tho Sunday school of tho Christian
church will hold Christmas exercises at
tho church Thursday evening nt 7:30.
Tho exercises will consist of songs and
recitations and a tree woll filled with
gifts for tho children will bo in ovidonco.
Geise and Clark Plead not Guilty.

court yesterday forenoon and pleaded
not guilty to nny and all complaints.
Geiso and Clark wcro placed under
combined bonds of $3,100 for thoir ap
pearance in court on the 18th of Janu
ary, when tho case will come up for
hearing. Not being able to furnish
tho required bond they were remanded
to jail. With n viow of securing their
release from jail, the two men havo
been attempting for several dayB to so
curo bondsmen, but up to dato have
been unsuccessful. They still havo
hopes, however, of securing bonds.

Inquire of Dickey Bros,
Y. M. C. A.
Great changes have been made in
tho Y. M. C. A. rooms. Thoy havo all
boon nowly papored nnd painted, two
now Bky lights havo been put in, a new
room added und n genoral cleaning hns
been done. Tho now furnlturo has
bcon shipped from Chicago and is ex
pected to nrrivo hero at an early date.
Wo feel sure that tho installing of this
will bo n groat drawing feature for
men. Tho now secretary has been so
busy since his coming that ho has not
had tho timo to get out among tho city
and railroad mon but has secured twenty-eight
members by speaking to
them as they came into tho building.
Somo of theso havo not been members
for years. Thoy lost interost in tho
work becauso tho association was not
proporly cared for. Thero aro about
125 moro whoso tickot havo expired in
tho past fow months. Tho renewing
of theso will bo greatly appreciated by
the secretary and board of directors,
also those who have never been mem
bers boforo. Every railroad man and
ovory citizen of North Platto ought to
bo a member of tho Young Moii'b
Christian Association. It is n good
work and must bo supported by tho
people. Thousands of men nro being
benefited, mado morally nnd intellectu
ally moro valuable as citizons through
this work in other pnrts of tho country,
and it can bo dono in North Platto.
Our association can bo mado tho best
association in tho stato. All that wo
need is tho support nnd co-operation of
tho pooplo.
A tnomborship tickot will make n
nice Christmas present.
