The day opened with threatening weather, which deterred a number from going to the national cemetery to spend the day. However, quite a fow of our people went to Maxwell on tho morn ing trains, thence to tho cemetery by team, and sill others went by carriages nnd automobiles. The G. A. R. nnd tho W. R. C. met at their hall this forenoon nnd pro ceeded to tho two cemeteries where the graves of old soldiers were decor ated with flowers, and at the North Platto cemetery tho customary rit ualistic ceremony Bwas held.

Tracy died at her home in this city at G:S0 Sunday even ing. Death was duo to Brlght's disease. with which she had been more or less troubled for several years. Six months ago tho disease more fully developed, and since then her condition had been critical. She was taken to Omaha for treatment, but this yielded little help, and her condition gradually grew worse nnd death came as a relief to the suf-' ferer. ' Mrs. Tracy was born in Lancaster, Ohio, in 1850. In 1871 she came west and located in Omaha, and later took up a homestead near Hastings. She re sided on this several years and then came to North Platte. She was united in maariage to Mr. Tracy thirty-two years ago, and to this union one daugh ter, Mrs. Orra DeFord, survives. The funeral will bo held from the Presbyterian church tomorrow after noon at two o'clock. In tho death of Mrs.' Tracy North Platte loses a most estimable woman; the husband and daughter a devoted wifo and mother; tho church a consist- ant member nnd active worker. Bright and cheerful, she inspired cheerfulness in others; kindly in nature, she light ened tho burdens of others. She was a good woman in the true sense of the word; her death is universally regretted by our people. Notice to Alumni. All members of tho North Platte Alumni Association aro urged to be present at the banquet to be given at tho Timmerman Hotol Wednesday ovenintr. May 31st.

The atten dants included lawyers of Bridgeport, Scottsbluff, Goring and Denver, and the Goring Courier says it was tho most elaborate affair ever given in that section. As a remembrance of his work in that section and as a token of their re gard forhim, Judgo Grimes was pre Bented-with a handsome traveling bag, fitted with all the toilet accessories. In the toasts each speaker touched upon tho strong friendship of the bar and tho people of that section for Judge Grimes, J It was lu tho oldon time, when trnv : olors westward from tho Missouri river ( went by wagon train system. I was n J young man then und had Homo money which I bad Invc'stcd In tho stock of a mining compnuy on Clear Creek, about twenty miles west of Denver Nowa cutno that thoso operating tho mlno had struck a rich vein of oro, and concluded to go out and look after my Interosts. Bo I Joined n wngou train at Kansas City consisting of two wagons. Tho owner, John Bcnrsdalc, was taking his family out to Denver to sottlo thoro. They consisted of his wife, his son, Henry, twenty years old, nnd his daughter, Amelia. Henry und taken a courso of medicine at an eastern uni versity and was going to put out his shlnglo In Denver. Thoro Is nothing llko bolug thrown with n girl constantly nnd not Hoeing other girls to iiinko n man fall In love. And I supposo It's tho snnio with a girl In refcrenco to tho mnn. At any rato, wo had been on tho road but u fow days when I begun to cousldcr Amelia attractive. Dr. nenry Scarsdalo had u wholo library of medical books with him and Btudlcd whonover wo wero in camp. He was an enthusiast In his profession. Ho became a celebrated physician afterward, but at that tlnio ho was simply at tho beginning of his career nnd always yearnlmr for soma one to fall lit that ho might apply his knowledge. Unfortunntoly I wnB destined to nood his nttentlon. My heart would got to boating rnpldly at tho slightest provocation. Tho young doctor on hearing of my troublo unpacked a box of books that ho had Intended not to opon till ho reached Denver, got out n volumo on heart disease, ran his oyo over tho Index till ho camo to "nnlnl- tatlon" nnd familiarized himself with my case. Thou ho Improvised a stoth oscopo, placed It ngalnst my chest over my heart, listened and looked serious. I know by that look that I was doomed, no told mo that I must not consider my enso hopeless, which I understood to moan that it was hope less, especially slnco ho told mo thnt 1 might live quito awhile. But tho next morning, fooling mora hopeful, I told the doctor that I thought he might iavo boon mistaken, whereupon ho ald very decidedly thnt I would find out. If I lived to reach Denver it would lw moro than ho expected. This broke mo all up again, and I Continued to decline during tho rest of tlio Journey. I couldn't mako tho slightest motion without my heart beating llko a trip hammer. I lost flesh and was so near run down that by tho time wo wero approaching Denver reclining place was made for mo in ono of tho wagons. I conceived a great respect for tho medical dlngnoslng power pf tho young doctor. Ho had told mo that If reached Denver nllvo I would do well, and tho nearer wo got to tho town tho moro rapidly my henrt beat, It occurred to mo that ho didn't really expect mo to Hvo even bo long as that, At any rnlo I mado up my mind 1 would not When within ten miles of Denver In camp ono evening I sent for Ainclln Scarsdalo and told her that, being at tlio point or death, I would hnvo no further uso for worldly wealth and handed her my mining shares that I had transferred to her.' I refrained from tolling her thnt I loved hor, thinking that, being doomed, It would bo better for her that I Bhonld keep my secret. Amelia was certainly very rrntcful. tried to comfort mo and de clared that if ! lived sho would ro transfer tho shares to me. To this I replied that I had given up nil hope; that when her brother told mo it was not likely I would Hvo to enter Denver had doubted his power of diagnosis, hut I had been getting worso over since, nnd I know now that ho was right.
