SPRING HOUSE
CLEANING SEASON
Is here, and it is of sanitary im
portance as well as for the beauti
ful effect, that it is necessary for
the smoke and grime of the winter
season to be removed. Nothing
so satisfactorily accomplishes this,
after a thorough renovation, as to
re-paper the walls and ceilings ot
the lamily residence or office. . To
those thus preparing to beautify
their homes
NEWTON'S LINE OF
WALL-PAFER
This year affords extraordinary ad
vantages for improving and decor
ating in this direction. The stock
is much larger than has ever be
fore been brought to North Platte,
and embraces styles from the sim
plest and cheapest, to the most
elaborate and costly. In keeping
with the times, the prices are low
er than the same quality of goods
were ever before offered. He has
papers which will fit the require
ments of every pocket book, from
those resembling the lean and hun
gry kine mentioned in the Bible,
to the bulging purse of the mil
lionaire. Call and examine the
stock and prices, as a particular
pleasure will be taken in exhibit
ing the same to the public, as a
personal inspection will go a long
way toward making a purchase.
Don't forget the place, at
Newton's Book Store.

THE REASON WHY.
. Jolly Nellie McHenry is the most
popular soubrette on the American
stage. She can sing better than
most women who dance. She is a
better dancer than most women
who sing. She is an acknowledged
actress, and her versatility is ad
mitted by all critics. She possesses
that indescribable magnetism,
which makes her audience feel as if
she were akin to them, and thev
are proud of her. She has sur
rounded herself with one of the
strongest companies of singers and
comedians ever seen in one com
pany, and she gives them all a
chance to show what they can do,
and in her circo-comedy, "A Night
at the Circus," she gives her audi
ence full value for their money by
giving them the funniest, cleverest,
ongiitest ana greatest snow on
earth. This company will be at

"I learned that Mr. Hoagland,
the 'newsboy's friend,' was here a

the children to join him in repeat

Cheyenne county populists are
dividing over the administration of
the office of county clerk, a portion
of the patriots insisting that the
party be consistent and economise
in expenditures, while the re
mainder of the fellows back up the
official, who appears to be running
the office upon the high pressure,
get-all-you-can principle. The same
organization is having the same
sort of internecine strife all over
the country, which is an evidence of
its disintegration. i
nf hpisfir. school authorities see fit
to authorize or allow unpatriotic
and unchristian rules and observ
ances 'what are we going to do
about it?' "
Will you kindly give me space to
cojrect one or two of the errors
therein?
1. Mr. Hogeland, the ' 'newsboy's
friend " was never invited to ad
dress the children of the Central
school. He did request the time of
our opening exercises ten minutes
to make a short talk to the High
crlinnl TTt made an address of
over half an hour, and took occasion
to urge the purchase of a chart
bearing the picture of "Col. Alex
ander Hogeland, the friend of the
poor and neglected boys of the
street."
2. He did not ask the pupils to
join 'him in repeating the Lord's
prayer.
3. He was not "called down" by
any one.
4. He was not informed that the
Lord's prayer in our schools was
"played out."
5. I am not an atheist.
6. I am an American citizen by
birth, and owe allegiance to no
foreign power or potentate in mat
ters temporal or spiritual. No man
can rightfully accuse me of a word
or an act that savors of disloyalty
to my country.
7. It is better not to know so
much than to know so many things
that are not so.
Very respectfully,
Chas. E. Barber.

kota editor asks for news: "Don't
forget the editor when you have a
news item. If your wife whips you,
let ns know, and we will set you
right before the public. If you have
company tell us, if you are not
ashamed of your visitors. If a
youngster arrives at your house
and demands food and raiment,
buy a quarter's worth of apples and
come around, and if you are a cash
subscriber we will furnish a name
for him or her, as the circumstances
warrant. If you have a social
gathering of a few friends bring
around the big cake, six or seven
pies and ham, not necessarily to
eat, but as a guarantee of good
faith. You needn't bother to invite
us, as it might be a little too cool
for our wardrobe. We mention
these things because we want the
