NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA,
is centrally situated in the triaugular figure
bounded by lines drawn from Omnha to Cheyenne
thence to Denver, from thence to starting point
It is 291 miles fioni the first named city, 225 miles
from the second, and 280 miles from the third
Having a population of 4.C00 people it is the head
quarters of both freight and passenger divisions ol
the U P. It'y Co., and is the home of abont 500
railway employes whose monthly pay roll amounts
to some $33,000.00. Almost 200 miles of irrigation
canals aro rapidly ucaring completion, which will
bring into the highest state of cultivation 150,000
acres of the most productive land upon which the
sun's rays shine. The citizenship of North Platte
is that of the best afforded by the older states, and
her people are active, progressive and prosperous
To the iudustrlous. energetic home-sceter from
the crowded eat North Platte and Lincoln county
presents unusual advantages. Thousands of acre?
of vacant government land, in close proximity U
those already being brought under irrigation, may
be obtained by consulting the United States land
office in North Platte. A letter of inquiry to "U
S. Register, North Platte, Neb.," relative to the
above will be courteously answered. Irrigated
farming is no longer nn experiment, but has
reached the point where it is acknowledged a1
pre-eminently the safest in all seasons method
of conducting agricultural and horticultural oper
atlons. The salubrious and life-giving climate of
Lincoln county, where malaria is unknown and
where pulmonary troubles are unthought of, if
auother incentive to the location thoreln of those
who are anxious to enjoy the good things of thU
life as long as possible. North Platte churches
and schools are alove thoso of eastern communi
ties, the latter being one of the few in Nebraska
permitting the graduate thereof to enter the State
Univorsity without an intermediate preparatory
training. The people of the community gladly
welcome thu honest, industrious eastern citizen
who is eager to better his condition and assisting in
the upbuilding and development of a comparatively
new country.
On Wednesday the legislature passed
over the governor's veto the Omaha fire
and police bill. This action of the legis
lature is likely to occasion a long and
loud howl from the Omaha Beo.
The passage o the sugar bounty bill
by the legislature has already stimulated
the culture of sugar beets in several sec
tions of the state, and we may confi
dently expect to seo several new factories
erected within tho next twelvo months.
The election in Chicago Tuesday re
suited in the election Geo. B. Swift, the
republican, candidato for mayor, by a
plurality of about 40,000. In St Louie
the republicans made a a clean sweep of.
of the city. In Lincoln Graham, repub-
ican, was elected over Broady, detnocra
by 1,200.
Secretary Morton complains that-
some of the Congressmen sell the garden
seeds they got from his department for
freo distribution to their constituents.
Tho secretary ought to remember tht
this administration has been ono of bar
ter with congress over since it began.
and he ought not complain.
A number of county commissioners of
Valley county aro in trouble, because
they for the last three years have inten
tionally neglected to levy tho necessary
tax to meet interest on the $32,000 Valley
county bonds now in dispute. The pop
ulist majority thought to pose as the
people's champions against the "bloated
bondholders," but now they are threat
ened with fines and imprisonment and
wish they had been wiser.
Rev. A. B. Eakle,w1io died in Newton,
Mass., last Saturday, was one of tho suc
cessful evangelists of tho country. He
had preached for sixty-four years and in
iat time had held 39,330 public meet
ings, proachfd 21,840 sermons, traveled
70,000 miles, and added 100,000 mem
bers to the church, of whom 400 became
ministers. He also wrote a number of
religious books and for his work he re
ceived 605,520, a little more than 81.000
year.
The New York Sun is doing its be9t
to iuaugurato a "booming day" on April
0, when 100,000 people shall agree to
pend 8100 apiece and thus "launch 810,-
000,000 into tho cash boxes of commerco
with ono magniticont swash." Tho Sun
declined to accept all propositions to
change the day to April 1, and insUts
that tho proper timo for this grand
simultaneous outpouring of money in
legitimate expenditure shall be on April
10th.
The national banks of Nebraska, ex
clusive of those in Omaha and Lincoln,
contain abont 810,000,000 of individual
deposits. To say nothing of capital
strek and surplus funds, this gives a
fair idea of the means at tho command
of the people of this state. To this must
be added the deposits in state savings
banks and in building and loan associa
tions. This idle money to be sure is
doing the people at large littlo good. It
is in hiding and will not have courage
to show its face until this years crop
shall have been assured. Then it will
begin to circulated and this is why our
whole state is dependent upon the tillers
of the soil. Tho wealth of Nebraska is
dug from tho earth. When Mother Earth

Passengers Lost S30O Iu Cash and Several
Revolvers, Watches and Kings Failed
to Open the Bxpress Safe Posse Is
Sow In Pursuit.
Hennessy, O. T., April 4. A robbery
occurred at 11:50 last night, 20 rods west
or Dover. Train No. 1 was held up by
five mounted men, who ordered the bag
gageman to open the door of tho bag
gage car. He refused and the robbers
fired 12 shots through the door, wound
ing the baggageman in the wrist. The
robbers then broke open the door with
a sledge, but did not succeed in getting
any plunder from the baggage car.
They hurriedly proceeded through tho
smoker and one day coach, securing
about 300 in money from the passen
gers. In addition to the $300 in cash,
the robbers also obtained from their vic
tims in the day coach and smoker six
revolvers and a number of watches and
rings. The passengers in the sleepers
were not disturbed. The robbers were
last seen from tho train going west from
Dover, all mounted, the leader Veiug
upon a mettlesome gray horse. A posse
started from Kingfisher, tho next station,-in
pursuit of the bandits.
Further details of tho robbery state
that two of the robbers boarded the en
gine just as the train was leaving Dover,
and covering the engineer and fireman, ;
commanded them to stop at a certain j
point about 200 yards from the water
tank. The engineer, a little excited
went about one-fourth of n mile before
stopping and narrowly escaped losing
his life in consequence. One robber
fired at him, just missing him, and tho
ball going through the cab window.
Conductor James Mack not hav

to find out what was wrong,
and was covered a ho approached tho
engine and was told to climb into the
engine. They robbed him and were
then joined by others who had come up
to the train. A demand was niado for
Express Messenger Jones to open hi:
door. This was refused and a fnsilade
followed, in which tho messenger was
wounded in the wrist. He attempted
to escape from tho opposite side of tho
car, out was capturen oy a guarrt on
that side and made to crawl under tho
train. An attempt was then made to
open the safe, but nothing could be done.
Then they proceeded to rob the passen
gers as already stated.

that the Nicaragua canal commission
will start for Nicaragua within two
weeks, as it is realized that the timo at
its disposal is short, when the work to
bo done is considered. Major Ludlow

time and work in the field. Returning

Reported Wreck or the Yacht Crusoe
Proves to lie a Mistake.
Palm Beach. Fla., April 4. Th first
authentic report from the sloop Robin
son Crusoe, in which were Messrs. Zieg
ler and Welisof New York, was brought
here by Captain Bradley of the schooner
Pearle, from Bay Biseayne. Captain
Bradley reports that tho mail boat ply
ing between Bay Biseayne and Koy
West sighted the Crusoo north of Key
West. She was running along under
single reefed sails and reported "all well
on board, bound for Key West," where
she is probably now lying at anchor.
The report that she was wrecked was
started by some spongers who sighted
a Bahama vessel off K- Largo with
mast and shrouds carried away drifting
rapidly out to the gulf stream. As tho
Robinson Crnsoo was due about that
time they jumped at the conclusion that
it was her, and earned the news to Key
West that she was wrecked.
