J. D. Lewis, of Deer Creek precinct,

T. C. Patterson returned Saturday
from a four days' trip through tho north
ern part of this and the southern part of
Logan county. In the country ho
traveled over ho found a great difference
in the appearance of crops, wheat and
corn looking first-class in some sections
while in other parts prospects for a good
yield woro not bright. Rain is needed at
present; in fact in somo sections rain is
an imperative necessity within the next
few days in order to insure oven a light
yield.
An annual school meeting was hold
At tho school houso near Nichols Mon
day nnd George Sullivan elected director

Mrs. Brown is the first lady ever elected
to an office in the district The meeting
was largely attended and harmony pre
vailed in all actions. It was decided to
have tho building lathed and plastered,
wainscoted to the height of four feet and
some other minor repairs made. The
board will receive sealed bids for the.
performance of the above work.

J. R. Shaw, of Walker precinct, who
is transacting business in the city to-day
feels highly jubilant over the prospects
for a crop m his section. Wherever th
grain was properly put in, he says, the
yield bids fair to be highly satisfactory
to the farmers. The increase of wheat
acreage in Walker this season is f ullv
fifty per cent over that of last year.

It is currently reported on the
streets this morning that W. H. Gatward
had "skipped the town" last night, leav
ing a number of creditors in the lurch
Inquiry into the matter hardly sustains
the report in all particulars. It is true
that Mr. and Mrs. Gatward left the city
last night, that several days aco thev
sold their residence to J. K. Evans and
W. T. Wilcox, and that the fixtures of
the meat market together with some
horses were mortgaged several months
ago to the First National Bank. It is
claimed, however, by those who are in a
position to know, that Gatward s indebt
edness outside of what is covered bv the
mortgage is very light. It is known
mat the marKet although enioving a
good patronage, has not been paying and
tratward has been anxious to dispose of
tho same for somo time past. It is prob
able that tho f irst iSatioual will take
possession of tho market to-day. Gat
ward had been a resident of the city for
a number of years and bo far as we have
learned has always boro an excellent
businoss and social reputation. If there
aro any undeveloped facts, time will
bring them forth.

A game between the regulars and a
picked nine for a purse of $25 is an
nounced to take place at the base ball
park next Sunday afternoon.
The probabilities are that a roturn
game with the Dawson county club will
bo played at Lexington on July 10th. Iu
tho meantime tho North Platte team
will bo strengthened by a re-arrangement
of tho playon?.
Hank Tomlinson, who caught for the
visitors in Sunday's ball game, left the
same evening for Salt Lake to accept a
position with a ball team at a good sal
ary, uon. nanimonu, or .uexiugton, is
pitching for tho same team. Both these
boys aro well known in North Platte,
having played here each season for ten
years or more.
In Sunday's game of ball with the
Dawson county aggregation the local
team suffered an ignominious defeat by
a score of five to thirteen. Outside of
the battery, the work of the North Plattes
was exceedingly poor, errors being abun
dant at critical times. Tho fact is patent,
howover, that tho team from down the
road is superior to the North Plattes, the
infield of the former being exceptionally
strong.
Tho state baso ball league is badly
off its feet financially and tho disband
ing of the clubs in tho near future is a
result which cannot bo averted. Tho
attendance at tho games of the state
league has been light, and tho capital
which the clubs had at the beginning of
tho season is about used up. North
Platto enjoved the luxury of u club of
salaried players for ono brief, fitful sea
son, but tho expense of running the
organization came near driving two or
three business men to tho wall. It takes
a good-sized citv to support a salaried
ball team, and when an enterprising
town of 10,000 people attempt tho feat,
tho stockholders inevitably get in tho
soup up to their ears.
Six hundred and thirty-four twenty
five cent tickets and forty-two fifteen
cent tickets were taken in at the gate at
tho ball park yesterday afternoon, and
these admissions added to the number
who sneaked over tho fenco would swell
tho total to 800. That was the size of
tho audience at tho game between the
female ball players and the local team.
But what a raw game! Tho girls can't
play ball in fact they have not yet
learned the first principles of the game,
and therefore there was no real contest.
Tho wearers of tho bifurcated and ab
breviated garments may havo thought
they were doing good work when the
boys permitted them to make eight runs,
but the fact remains that not one of ,
them could have reached first base had
not the stalwart young men been chari
table. Tho hippodrome, therefore, was
draped with a dark shade of weariness,
and many spectators left the grounds
before game was half completed. It
may be that the members of tho travel
ling aggregation are well versed in tho
intricacies of tho skirt dance, but they
are certainly novices on the ball field.
Tho girls requested tho city papers to
state that the audience yesterday was
tho most appreciative and orderly one
that they had yet appeared before, and
they felt pleased by the feeling of re
spect which was accorded tnom.

Our day caller John Johnson deserves
notice for tho thrift ho is displaying in
building himself a comfortable house.
Ho has recently added two rooms to his
houso on east Eleventh streot.
Miss Ida Bobbitt still makes daily
trips across tho track in tho pursuit of
dressmaking knowledge. She has sibout
completed her apprenticeship and will
soon bo able to please the most fastidious.
I will givo you a list of tho business
men of the Third ward shortly and as all
of our lumber and coal dealers of tho
city will bo included, items concerning
them will not bo out of placo in this
column.
Frank Steel will leavo us permanently.
Ho has traded his houso and lot on east
Ninth streot for a farm west of town to
Mr. McKee. Mr. Steel has had experif
enco at f.'irmiug and we hope his presont
step will jirovo a success.
A question often asked by strangers
within our city is, "what havo you here
to see?" Tho Third ward is happy in
tho possesion of tho waterworks build
ing as ono of the places to visit and one
of tho things to see. I will simply say
now that visitors aro always welcomed
and shown tho best of treatment.
Mrs. Ghorkin has bought the two-story
houso on cast Eighth street recently
owned by E. D. Murphy but built by
Thos. Grady and is fitting it up for a
boarding house. A new kitchen has
been added and tho entire premises will
bo mado to present an inviting appear
ance. Mrs Gherkin has had years of
experience in this business and this with
its favorable location ought to fill the
houso to its capacity at ono once.
I believe thero are a great many people
in this city who havo never been across
tho tracks and consequently havo a vogue
idea regarding tho kind aud character of
tho Third ward people. Wo do not
claim to be what Fifth Avenuo is to
New York City, tho aristocratic portion
of tho city, nor do wo wish to be con
sidered as the slums of the city. I havo
often heard insinuating remarks made
about the residonts of tho Third ward,
but this must bo done unknowingly and
for that reason I believe that there are
a great many people who havo never
visited our side of the track. The side
walk facilities will soon bo such that we
will be able to extend an invitation to all
to walk ovor and see us.
While tho city is keeping its newly
bought grader in eonstmt motion, I
would respectfully call tho attention of
tho committee on streets and grades to
that portion of Locust street between
Seventh and Eighth. Tho only grading
that has been done on our side has been j
done ou north Locust street but that
portion of the street to which I refer
does not need grading so much as it
needs filling in. It is too low and being
on tho main travoled road leading into
the city from the north, it should be put
into proper shape. During tbe wet
weather in the spring, this point was
always in bad condition and a number
of heavily laden wagons became mired.
It would doubtless take four hundred
yards of earth to bring it up to a proper
level but this amount could bo filled in
gradually and need not bo put there in
one year. In this connection I will say
that I am a thoroughly Third ward mah
nnd I feel that jt will bo my duty fre
quently to call the attention of the
governing ones to matters that are
needed and that will materiallv benefit
the Third ward!

There were a number or persons in
attendance at the Lutheran church last
Sabbath, both rooming and evening,
who have not been in the habit of at
tending services anywhere. It is hoped
that they will find it convenient to
attend regularly.
Mr. Beecher, who is to bo associated
with. Rev. McDonald in missionary work
in this vicinity, will be ordained deacon
at Kearney on next Sunday, and will
take up his. work hero immediately
after.
A general "class meetinc"' will bo held
ac trie ju. cuurcn next sundav morn
ing at 9:30. Rev. W. A. Amsbary will
preach at iO.30. Reception of members
at the close of the morning servico.
At a special meeting of tho ministerial
association on Mondav, the matter of
holding open air services on Sunday
ovenings, as was done last summer, was
discussed. Ab there was a difference of
opinion as to the advisabilitv of holdin
such services, the matter was laid on tho
table for the present.
We hear of quite a number of the
pastors in towns and cities in tho state
either going or being sent off on vaca
tions during July or Aucust or both.
We have not yet learned of any of the
North Platte pastors who aro "going to
take a vacation, it may bo somo of our
congregation, who want good work next
fall and winter, are planning to send
their pastor away for a rest. Wo know
that Brother Smith would like to "o to
Utah for a few weeks. Whether any of
the others have a special trip that thoy
would like to make, wo havo not learned.
Great auestions are Dressing unon us
as a people. The "thoughtful speaker of
next "Monday will deal with important
problems. But let us learn as a thought
ful one observes that tho only life that
will permaeatlydioldluen together, and
that will make a true body of human
society, giving to each its tit place aud
enabling it to dischargo its proper func
tion is, whatever men may say.or think,
the spirit of Christ that and that alone.
This then, in the first place-outward
authority,-the invocation of state legisla
tion may at times be needful, nnd may
be a useful instrument but the ono sole
hope for permanent adjustment of tho
relations of man to man lies in tho spirit
of Christ. That spirit alono can bring
society into its ideal condition; othor
means and aids are mere temporary
makeshifts.
Y. 3L C. A. NOTES'.
Rev. McDonald, rector of tho Episco
pal church, addressed our men's meeting
last Sunday. His theme was tho "chris
tian gentlemen." Birth, social standing
nor wealth make the gentleman. The
gentleman is said to bo as gentle as a
woman and ad manly as a man. But the
true gentleman takes Christ for his
standard.
Our bible class was well attended. Mr.

Our schools will close this week after
a most agreeable season, tne summer
havine interfered little with our work
or comfort. On Friday evening occurs
our graduating exercises, to which all
adult friends and patrons are cordially
invited. The entertainment will be en
tirely musical and literary and will have
no attractions for our children under
twelve. We propose to give two enter
tainments next year in which classes
from all departments will appear, and
ask our friends to givo us now a full but
quiet house, as our time has been much
limited for preparation, and disquiet will
interfere with the best preparation of
our programme.
We regret that much misunderstand
ing has seemed to bo disseminated re
garding the grading and promotion of
classes. We do not wish to consider it
as maliciously done, but there has been
no cause for it. Promotions here will be
regulated as in other graded schools, by
the amount of work done, the standing
in examinations and the personal recom
mendction of tho teachers of the classes.
Pupils who pass these testa will be
promoted bv the principal unless bv
request of parents that they may have
more time to complete their worK or on
account of their age, as quite a number
of our children aro being urged forward
to tho detriment of health and thorough
progress in coming years. The board,
tho teachers and tho principal will do
our best to act justly and for the highest
eood of the children under our care. We
do not expect to piease nor Baiisry an
our inends lor we wouiu neea 10 oe
recreant to our trust to attempt it. and
would bo like the false prophets of old
to succeed in it.
V o wish to say a lew words to our
patrons under the following subject:
Wise-Building versus jfusning."
Wo Americans are accused by our
luropean neighbors of being always in
hurrv. This is especially true in our
schools. In some states the child is not
.allowed to enter school until the seventh
ear. Hero they enter at five. Then
betrins tho hothouse process and the
children aro pushed from grade to grade
with so great rapidity that, as the Eng-
glish and Germans as well fis a large
cless of our own citizens claim, our
schools aro superficial and our children
cave school with only a smattering of
what they should know well; a large
proportion of them failing in practical
business because of their poor prepara
tion. The bright (precocious) ones aro
urced forward and tho dull ones fagged
or snubbed (tho latter proving best in
tho end) and tho race is an unequal one.
Tho human brain will average quite
uniformly in a general result. One child
shows moro ability in earlier years but
will inevitably fall behind the slower one
in tho long run. All are familiar with
the fable of '-Tho Hare and the Tortoise."
Iu reading biography we find that a
large majority of our noted men were
dull and slow in early years. It is a law
in physics that what is gained in time is
lost in power. This is peculiarly so in
acquiring an education. For this reason
wo sincerely congratulate parents whose
children do not always stand highest in
scholarship. It may be hoped that their
development may keep pace with their
course of study and so what the rapid
ones loso in their haste these gain by
hastening slowly. This is not a theory
of ours but is the result of oborvation in
thousands of cases.
It may bo asked very appropriatly
right here, what is the cause of our
supcrfical schools? We reply, it com
mences with tho parent None of us are
so indifferent as not to feel a pride in
any marked degree of capability in our
children. Tho teachers next, feeling
their position or popularity depends
upon catering to this desiro of parents
to see their children advance rapidly,
yiold to the temptation to puh the child
boyond a safo and sound foundation.
Compotion in similar departments arises
and forms another element of haste.
Parents urge promotion before the child
is ready; eventually he falls, sees his
weaknoss, and rather than go back and
lav a good foundation, leaves school and
beginB a precarious contest for earning a
living.
Mathematics, geography, history and
the sciences require maturity of mind
beforo they can be understood and
applied. I am often reminded of somo
friends who wero in such haste to see
the exhibit at tho state fair that they
made their visit three days before it was
open to the public. They saw many
things and wero much elated at their
ingenious ruso to get ahead of their
neighbors. Later, to their chargin, they
found tho choicest and best of the ex
hibits woro still in cases unopened at
their visit and they lost the valuable
part of it all. Just so in advancing our
children tdo young, their judgment nnd
mental development are not sufliciently
maturo to grasp and utilizo the most
valuable part of thoir course and they
discover their loss in later years when
too late to repair it. Thoy go over the
ground and tho parents and children
congratulate themselves that they have
got it all ahead of their neighbors, but a
mortifying discovery ia made later on.
