Don't take our word for it. Don't depend on a stranger's state ment. Read North Platte endorsement. Read the statement of North Platte citizens. And decide for yourself. Here is one case of it. Mrs. G. Smith, North Platte, Neb., says: "After recovering from an at tack of typhoid fevor, our little boy, suffered for about a year from pains through his back and a badly disordered condition of his kidneys. Ho had a constant feeling of weakness and at times wib so languid that ho could hardly drag himself around. The kidney secretions were too frequent in pas sago and part of tho time ho had no control over them. There was a dull, heavy ache through his back and Bides that annoyed him terribly and though we consulted doctors about his ca3e, tho medicino they prescribed did not bring any permanont benefit. A few months ago wo learned of Doan's Kid ney Pills and procured a box at A.. F. Stroitz's drug store. Tho prompt roliof our son received from the use of this remedy was very gratifying and I am glad to say that ho was flnaly restored rn frond health." Knr Halo uv ail ueaiera. rnce ou cents.

To all parties interested in base ball at North Platte, I wish to stato that unless we can raise a littlo money tho team will be compelled .to disband. It is true that wo have been loyally sup ported this year, but tho expenBos have been extra heavy on nccouut of having to build all new equipment, buy new suits, etc, all of which havo been paid for and nt this timo there are no dobta. But to do this it lias been necessary for tho players to make noma sacrifice in this that they have not received as much for their work as they aro on titled to and for the last two games they did not receive anything. Now if we can get just a little financial help at this time, wo can hold tho team togeth er, give you eight or ten more good gamcB this year and be in fino Bhapo to keep tho organization togetiicr for next year, And as we have tho build ings and equipment paid for wo can make base ball a sure succojs in North Platto in tho luture. it we aro suc cessful in getting a little holp we ex pect to remodel the grand stand and rrtako it moro comfortable, also add moro scats to tho bleachors. Wo havo a team that any town should be proud of. Will you holp us? Yours truly. O. E. Elder, Trcaa. Will Extend North River Branch. General Manager Mohler, of tho Un ion Pacific, says tho extension of the North RWer branch westward from Northport is no longer a secret; it can- not be kept a secret nny longer, for yesterday morning n big corps of civil engineers began tho Work of selecting n permanent routo. How far westward this lino will extend Manager Mohlor did not say. but there is no doubt in tho mind of any but that it will con. tinuo through to Medicino Bow. Tho preliminary survoy to that con nection with tho main lino was made Bomo timo ago and tho routo pronounced satisfactory. By this routo the dis tance from North Platte to Medicino Bow is shortoncd by forty miles, it is water grade, except crossing tho Rocky Mountains, and in crossing tho latter tho holghth climbed la one thousand foot l"ss than over tho Sherman hill routo. Tho lopping oir of forty mllos of track ago and tho lighter grade means tho saving of millions of dollars in trans portation expenses on freight traffic; in fact tho saving would in n fow years pay for the coat of tho road, which it is estimated will bo upwurds of ton mil lion dollars. It is understood that the company will push tho work with tho utmost spcod that by tho timo tho survoy has been completed tho contract will bo. ready to bo awarded and that work will begin this fall. That this North River branch lino is to bo constructed westward ia of much" conscquonco to North Platto. It moans that North Platto will bo tho actual terminal hoadquarters of tho now lino, that ndditionB will bo necessary to tho shops, rpund houso and ynrda and that necessarily thero will be n largo in crease in tho working forco. Certainly tho outlook for North Platte Ib roseate. Buys Meyer Farm. TJie Union Realty (jo., of this city, has purchased tho Gua F. Meyor farm southwest of town, tho deal having been ploacd tho latter part of lant week, Tho farm embraces C40 acres, 400 acres of which is good farm land and the balance is fino hay land, tho wholo forming one of the best pieces of property in tho Valley.

In tho game of ball Friday afternoon with Alliance, tho local team won by a score of four to one. Tho North Platto team presented its strongest line up, nnd with Lowell in the box, nut un a luperb game, n game much too strong for the salaried team sent down by tho Burlington town. Really it Bhould have been a shut out game, for tho ono run secured by tho visitors in tho first should not, under all rules of decent ball playing, have been counted, for the player making tho run none other than Tommy Horn wilfully bumped into catcher Short on tho homo plate, knocking tho lattor down nnd in rolling ovor Bovoral times dronnod the ball. and while the right or wrong of tho play was boing discussed another player sneaked in. Tho umpire finally rendered u decision declaring Horan out, but giving tho second man a run. Ibis was clearly wrong, for had the decision been given promptly the second man would not havo scored. As a result of thifl decision tho Allinnc-o manager and his team, who had sovera hundred dollars up on the game, bo- enme very --sore, nnu could not say enpught mean things about tho North l'latle team. Tho local team, throughout tho game, showed its superiority over tho visitors. nnd clearly demonstrated that as fast ball players they havo no superiors among me amateur teams oi tho atato Men and Boys Clothing.
