On account of the bad roads, Kearney grocers make but two deliveries each day, one at 9:30, the other nt 3.' 30 That seems to be n good plan, but it would prove- unpopular in North Platte even though tempomry Statistics gathered by the depart ment of ngricultujo show that the in crease in the cost of living in a certain period has about doubled tho incronsi in wages. If the increased cost of living continues, whore will wo land at tht end of another five years. That eggs arc scarce was omphnsizec one day this week when a case con signed to W. H.

The price of eggs in dicates that th hen is a little olf on the laving business just now. J. W. Fetter has been absent from Maxwell the past week on account of the death of nis father. A dividend of one-fourth per cent has been parcelled out to tho Standard Beet Sugar Co's creditors as their last check.

President Tuft Bent hi first message to u regular session of congress Tues day. Recommendations on vital subjects like tho interstate commerce law, con servation and the trust problem arc re served for special messages; sugges tions for amendments to the tarill law until tho now commission lms had two or three years in which to gather facta upon which action am be based. The important things usk d for in the message are: Tho creation of postal sav ings banks without waiting lor tho re port of the monetniy commission; an increase in the postage rates on maga zines; some changes in the army ana navy regulations nnd a reduction in th nnnual expense of $45,000,000 lor the ' a my and $33,000,000 for tho navy; a uenoral reduction in tho expense ot the government, and a reorganization ol tho departments to secuie bott r ser vice at les3 cost; reform Injudicial pro ctduro to ltBacn cost and increase promptness, nlso to prevent tho issu ance of injunctions without notlco; n federal law for the publication nf cam paign contributions; legislation to sto . the whlto slave trnlfic: and n few other matters of greater or less importance. Congress is nsked not to investigate the sugar scandals, aa this might hnmpei tho work tho government is now doing in bringing the guilty parties to justice.
