This is the larg-est attendance our school has ever had. Judging from the appearance of things "after the ball was over" it was evident that several persons had lost their hearts.

The usual rapid response of the fire depart ment followed, and the blaze was discovered to be on the roof of a house on North Locust street, but was extinguished before any par ticular damage ensued. Those first on the ground seem to think that the fire was started by a piece of burning waste being thrown on the roof with incendiary intent- North Platte had two appli cants for the position of deputy oil inspector, but Governor Holcomb has ruthlessly cast them aside and has appointed James C. Dohlman of Chadron, as deputy for this dis trict. This being the case, Mr. Keliher will not resign the deputy sheriffship and Mr McCarty will probably continue to heave black diamonds into the fire-box of engine 818.

"What street is this? said one North boy to his friend last Satur day night, as they walked down Horrigan avenue. Miss Annie Snyder spent last Satnrda' in Brady Island. The two Sunday schools com menced last Sunday, and judging from the large number of persons in attendance, great interest was manifested. There was also church held in the school house last Sun day night. "Why is it that so many of the Maxwell young ladies made it a point to be in North Platte to-night when I am in Maxwell," said a North Platte boy to his friend last Saturday night. Frank Martin, of Brady Island, was in Maxwell last Thursda ClA'TIE. of THE PREHISTORIC MAMMOTH. The bringing in of the bones the mammoth that were found on section 2, township 16, range 26, in this county, recalls the frequent in quiries that have often been made by the public press of the state, "what is Nebraska doing in the wa- of preserving these valuable relics of the s prehistoric past," These bones were first discovered in 1890. The party owning the land claims that he has plowed up rib bones eight feet in length. They were in a good state of preserva tion. Had the scientist of our state university taken pains to have secured this find it is possible the university museum might have now on hand the complete frame of one of these giant animals. From the description given of the size of the bones and in connection with the ones now on exhibition at the sheriff's office this animal must have been fully fifteea feet in height and over a rod in length; yet these bones were finally collected and brought in to be sold to the bone buyer who will use them as fertil izers. Imagination carries us back to the days when the plains q Ne braska were covered with a dense growth of forest interspersed with marshes and lakes, when the ele phant and the mammoth contended for supremacy on the rapidly form ing lands of the great plains; when the crocodile and the mammoth water animals swarmed in the lakes and lagoons. Yet as we find the bones of the buffalo associated in the immediate vicinity of these gigantic bones the question arises was not this animal also a semi-water animal, like the water buffalo of China. In the canyons of the south part of the county bones and teeth of the ele phant have been found, showing the once tropical nature of the cli- mate of the state. BRADY BUDGET.
