An unidentified stranger, supposed to have been stealing a ride on No. 16 yesterday morning, was killed on the Union Pacific track about ten ml es oast of town. His body was literally ground to pieces, and portions wore strung along'' the track for n distance of nearly a half mile. The head and part of'tho trunk was first discovered by workmen on tho double track, vho reported the find to thu officials in town. Coroner Longloy, Sheriff Milton- borger and Undertaker Ginn drovo down and picking up tho dismembered body brought it to town. There was nothing in the fragments of clothing to prove tho identity of tho man. A boy, auout Bovonicen years ot ago. was traveling with the man killed. Ho got on ino. io as soon as possible niter .ho accident occurred and Is said to havo returned to town on a froight, but diligent search by the oliicora foiled to locate him.

The big tout for tho Chautauqua is 125 feet long and 85 feot wide and has seated two thousand people easily. Will it seat that many nt North PlattoY We believe it will and wo have arranged for tha many seats and expect to have them occupied. Tho confidence"of the management in the succuh of this year's Chautauqua from a financial standpoint is as great as its confldoncc in the various attractions which will appear. Wo believe wo havo as good a program as any Choutuuqua in Nebras ka we have been told by those in the work that it is bettor than any of the others outBido of tho Assembly ut Lin coln and we nro making all arrange ments with tho belief that tho better class of citizens of North Platte, Lincoln county and the counties tributary to this county are with us. Last year we put in a limited number of settees filling out the rest of the space with plank seats. This was done with the idea that Borne would want reserved seats and that they could be furnished at a nominal price while those who did not care to pny extra would have as good seats as are found in the average Chautauqua. But this did not suit the patrons and u collection was miccn which pam mo extra expense tho Directors wero to in procuring tho settees and they wore thrown open to every one. Then camo tho trouble tho Board had anticipated. Somo of tho best supportora of the Chautauqua as well as others were unoblo to got to tho grounds in. time to hold a seat on tho settees and although Uhoy woro willing to pay extra for n good seat thoro woro 'nono. This year tho Directors havo attempted to solve the matter in another way. They have seated tho tent largely with settees ulthough it may bo necessary to placo some plank seats in tho roar. Wo will arrange very wide niHles and occasional open spaces. Then near tho Secretary's tent will bo n pile of two hundred folding chairs. These will bo rented at five cents each from tho pllo and they may be carried to any part of tho tent or grounds, whore thore is no one elso. They will bo laid aside and reserved In answer to a telephone call. When one of the chairs is rimtltl it muy IAj ptoml in tho wide aisles or in tho opon places or out among tho trees. We think wo havo found a plan that will satisfy all and hope to receivo thu co-operation of all in tho matter of Heating. Supporting the Chautauqua docs not consist in simply buying your sharo of season tickets. Tho Chautauqua is not run for the purpose of coming out oven. It is a success or a failure according as it brings to our people tho best there is on tho lyceum platform and sends them away refreshed nnd inspired. The deficit last year was about $800 yet the Chautauqua was generally pronounced a success. Lot's get away from meas uring the success of an institution by dollars nnd cents nnd sco if thore is not a human sldo to it. Wo business and professional men need the Chautauqua worse than any ono else. Wo need to bo at overy session and leaving the work day cares behind and entering in. to tho spirit of tho affair drink the full of our capacity to enjoy. Tho mis sion of tho Chautauqua is not intellect ual but Inspirational. Most men of af fairs are intellectual enough but they lack the emotional; the inspirational and cultural side, to keep the pursuit of gold from making them yellow. Somo of tho fratornal and benevo lent societies are considering the ad visability of having n tent on tho Chau tauqua grounds where members of their respective societies may feel at home and meet each othor between sessions. It would also act as a placo of rest for tlioso who became tired or indisposed. Tcnt8 may be rented for this purpose from tho scctrotary of tho Chautauqua at vory reasonable, rates and they will bo placed free of charge Taking care of its members is one of the best adver tisements a lodgo can have. Secrutary Tout of thu Chautauqua fn tendu to tako ills family and camp on tho ground during tho coming cession. Othon. aro planning to do tho same. It is worth considering on tho port of anyone who likes camping and can ar range to do so. Work 24 Hours a Day. Tho busiest lltUo things ever made aro Dr. King's Now Life Pills.
