THE ROAD RACE.
The North. Platte road race,
which has been the talk of wheel
men and others for ten days past,
advertised to take place this even
ing, has been postponed until Fri
day evening on account of bad
roads, and barring- a heavy rain
will oositivelv take place. The
4.
start will be made from the dis
patcher's office on Front street,
and the route will be to Pallas and
repeat, the finish being at the
intersection of Spruce and Sixth
streets. There are twenty-eight
entries in the race, and the official
handicap is as follows:
6:30 Fred Letts, J. Davis, Chas.
Seyferth.
6:31 A.9 M. Schannann, C. T.
Whalen, W. F. Moran, L. L. Steele.
6:32 Ed. Weeks, P. H. Lonergan,
Pearl Armbus, Wm. Baker.
6:33 C. E. Beeler, G. A. Laing,
John Ell, Harry Dixon.
6:34 Arthur Rush, John Dugan.

. .6:39 Floy McGinn, James Rod
dy, Frank Murray.
6:41 H. E. Cox.
6:42 Walker Hainline, Edward
Friend.
The probabilities are that 2,000
people will be out on the streets to
witness the start and finish.
With the exception of repairs
at crosswalks it is likely that little
if any street work wiU be performed
this year. Mayor Baker, like his
predecessor, believes that the city
debt should be cut down, and
retrenchment of expenses made
wherever such is possible.
Elsewhere the mayor asks the
citizens to clean up the alleys and
cut the weeds in the streets so that
the city may present a neat appear
ance to the crowd which assembles
on the Fourth of July. The sug
gestion is a good one and should be
acted upon by the citizens.
Though this year has not so
far been one in which the best re
sults can be shown by windmill
irrigation, yet?theT plant erected--by
W. E. Price in the south part ot
town is one which should be in
spected by those interested in the
matter. Mr. Price has a very com
plete plant and finds no difficulty
in watering his two acres with it.
The first invoice of this sea
son's California peaches arrived

Mac is doing a big business as
destributing agent for the whole
sale fruit firms of the west, having
consigned to him an average of
about twenty cases of berries per
day, which he disposese of to deal
ers in the city. His efforts in this
direction has resulted in a large in
crease of business for the express
company.
C. F. Scharmanu has received
a letter from the Studebaker Co. in
which they deny the report that
they are making bicycles, though
they intimate that they may in the
future add such a department to
their works. The Studebakers
have a shotgun loaded with saddle-
bage for the man who started the
report that .wheels were being made
by them, as they are receiving
hundreds of letters daily relative
to the matter.
MILLER MATTER.
As I have heard several inquiries
of late as to what became of "Our
Country Cousin," I thought it about
me to give an account of "Miller
Matter."
Well we are all happy on account
of the fine growth of all kinds of
vegetation, and the farmer and his
family-begin to enjoy the fruits of
their toil in the shape of "garden
sass" and spring chickens, and
there is also music in the air, since
Miss Beach has treated herself to a
new Bush & Gertz piano. I think
the young people of this precinct
should organize a musical society,
as nearly every house now contains
some kind of an instrument; apd as
for voices, why just listen to Will
Facka or Bert Stafford as they
drive their teams afield these fine
morninsrs, and you -will conclude
that we have lots of talent.
Mrs. J. Keary and son J. Richard,
have just returned from visiting for
a few days with Mr. .nd Mrs. O'
Rourke at Sunny side farm, and re
port crops doing well down there,
although they have not had &s much
rain as farther t west.
Miss Nellie Vaughn has returned
to the parental roof after having en
joyed a ve?y romantic visit in the
eastern part of the state.
John Kenwortby jr., seems to
have lots of business on the south
side lately, and on;one of his recent
trips, in order to save, time he at
tempted to ford, the South Platte,
Tutfoundit'higkerttetnlie thought;
as his team had to swim, and he
used his buggy for a boat. Better
go by the bridge, next time, John.

UNJUST REPROACH TO NEBRASKA.
The Staunton, 111., Times has the
following-:
"Last winter the people of Ne
braska were said to be starving1,
and carload after carload of corn
was sent from Illinois for their re
lief. Lately corn, as most people
are aware, has been on a boom,
and in one day 116 carloads of corn
from Nebraska were received in St.
Louis. Comment is superfluous."
Comment indeed would be super
fluous, if not the above remark of
the Staunton Times clearly showed
that it is intended as areflectionon
the good name .of Nebraska, ind
iting" that Nebraska did not de
serve assistance, because a com
paratively small portion of its farm
ers had some corn to sell. The
western half of Nebraska had lost
by drouth ail of her crop, the cen
tral portion had . little of it, and
only in the eastern third part of
the state tolerably good crops were
raised. And some of the more fortu
nate farmers in that portion of Ne
braska had the crops of former
seasons on hand yet. These better
situated farmers could not afford
and could not be . expected to give
up. all they had for the assistance

west and they cannot fairly be
blamed for now selling what they
have left. In nearly all our com
munities, if not in all, some suffer
ing people were to be assisted, and
have been helped through the win
ter by the charity work of better
situated neighbors, and $200,000
have been spent by the state for
the assistance of the drouth suffer
ers., Nebraska has done her duty
as well as the many noble people in
other states, who have sent relief
to our destitute families, and who
deserve our heartfelt thanks. But
it is in very bad taste, to now throw
out hints as if the assistance re
quested by and given to Nebraska
were a matter of impropriety, be
cause a few Nebraska farmers are
able to send to the market a com
paratively small amount of corn.
It seems that Nebraska this year
will have good crops, and it looks
pretty much as if Illinois this year
is suffering from drouth. If this
should be the case, Nebrasha un
doubtedly will reciprocate and re
turn the favors shown her by Illi
nois, though the Staunton Times
evidently begrudges them. Grand

The merchants ot Utah have been
praying for years for a general re
duction of freight rates. There is
some prospect that they have at
last secured this boon through the
radical cut just inaugurated by the
Union Pacific. The situation is
complicated, but there is reason to
believe that the reduction is per
manent. There is so much compe
tition that it may be found impos
sible to maintain the rates to the
seaboard that have heretofore pre
vailed. The feeling in Utah is that
the new rates wiU greatly increase
the importance of Salt Lake City
and other cities in the great basin
