time, having been secured through
a friend of Mr. Kittell. We wish
the boys success in their new field
of labor.
Quite a crowd of people wit
nessed the tennis games at the
court on west Sixth street 3rester-
day. The games were comi
in the forenoon and continued dur
ing the afternoon and were then
left in an uncompleted state owing
to the high wind which arose. The
final singles will be played off in
the near future between Arthur
Hoagland and Dr. DeBerry and the
final doubles between Arthur Hoag
land and t ranK mooney as one
team and Dr. DeBerry and Walter

Down in the eastern part of the
state considerable enthusiasm is

industry, and a number of towns
are working to. secure a factory. No
place in the state possesses such ad

so profitable. Let us renew our ef
forts to secure a factory.

James Wilson, of Kearnej, for
merly of this city, is unalterably
opposed to women wearing bloom
ers. To show that his stand is well
taken, he a few days ago mailed to

Deuteronomy: "The woman shall
not wear that which pertains to
a man; neither shall a man put on

H. Otten left with us last Fri
day evening samples of the honey
which his bees produced this season,
and the quality is certainly very fine.
Mr. Otten started in last spring"
with nine colonies, which have mul
tiplied to thirty, and during the sea
son he has sold 500 pounds of honey
to a local grocer. Mr. Otten says
the Platte valley, by reason of the
many flowering plants which grow
therein, is an excellent feeding
ground for bees, and that apiary
interests can be very successfully
conducted almost anywhere in this
valley.

Missofiri, you fellows;who are shak
ing with the ague along the Missis
sippi bottoms, you poor unfortun
ates who are rooting away among
the clay knobs in eastern states
upon rented lands, what do you
think of this for a crop grown by
the most skillful and intelligent j
method of farming under the sun,
viz: bv means of irrisration. Last
week W. O. Thompson threshed 785
bushels of oats from off six acres of
land, or an average ot almost 131
bushels per acre. Now if there is
any other spot on top of God's foot-
stool mat can produce similar re
sults, let its owner step forth and
make proof of so doing, or hence
forth and forever hold his peace.
Even to you fellows in Nebraska
east of the one hundredth meridian,
and who imagine there is nothing
west of that legendary line but
sandhills, cowboys, . coy otes, cactus
and whiskey, is the gauntlet thrown
down. Pick it up if vou dare.
Champion Sprinter of the United States.
A telegram received last
night
announced that Frank Sullivan, of
this city, had won the United
States' championship as a light
weight sprinter at the races held at
Brocton, Mass., yesterday after
noon. There were, we believe,
seven entries in the race. All North
Platte will congratulate Frank
Sullivan upon this great honor he
has won in the sporting world. In
our next issue a full report of the
race will be given.

Company IS returned Sunday
morning trom tne encampment at
Hastings, and expressed themselves
as well pleased with the week's
camp life. There was but one thing
to mar the pleasures of the week,
and that was the lack of sufficient
opportunity for the boys to display
their new dress uniforms, and this
was enough to break their hearts,
or eacn member or tne company
considers himself a good looking
man when arrayed in these natty
suits. Many incidents occurred in
camp that provoked much merri
ment, among which was the pecu-
iar accident that befell Professor
Orr, and which the bovs of the
company will probably never for
get. That lap-robe which "slip
pery" Simpson brought home will
also cause' a ribple .of laughter
among the boys e'ach time it is dis
closed to view. Taken altogether
the week spent in camp was a most
enjoyable one.
The weekly shoot of the gun
club Saturday evening was slimly
attended by members; only four
taking part in the contest, craves
