The average resident of Nortli
Platte is congratulating himself
that Pennsylvania anthracite coal
is selling on the local market at $10

usual. This decrease in price is,
we believe, due more to a cut freight
rate, than to the generosity of th.i
Keystone state coal barons.
Rev. James Leonard, . who has
been presiding elder of the. North
Platte district of the Methodist

P. policeman Sawyer Saturday

lesson to those joung men who are
in life habit of following the prac
tice of which Boyer was adjudged
guilty.
Just as soon as official notice
of the award on the county exhibits
is received, the managers of the
Lincoln county exhibit will send
a protest to the board of managers
of the state, fair. Embodied in this
protest will be'the charge that but
three of the counties making dis-
plajs complied with the rule di
recting that all exhibits be placed
in position by a certain time. Lin
coln county was one of the three.
An effort made to see Supt.
Barber and ascertain the attend
ance at the city schools was fruit
less j-esterday mainly due to the
fact that Mr. Barber is a very busy
man, usually eating his lunch whihj
walking from one ward school to

tween the hours of three and six a.
nu. .This rush will probably be
over in a few days and the Professor
vHl be able to give the newspaper
men a few points in regard to the
schools.

--Both the Omaha Bee and the
World-Herald say the decision of
the judges on the county collective
exhibits was a surprise to the peo
ple. Of course it was; but some of
the counties interested next year
will know how to proceed in order
to get a prize.
The Choral Society will give a
social and dance at Keith's hall on
Thursday evening of this week, to
which the general public is invited.
The fact that this affair is under
the auspices of the Choral Societ'
is a guarantee that it will be very
pleasant. Admission is placed at 50
cents.
W. W. Scolt. the Sunday
school missionary of the Kearney
presbyter3 who has his headquar
ters in this city, reports the work
progressing nicely all over the ter

might be imagined, he is on the go
all the time..
The music at the Methodist
church Sunday evening was a feat
ure ol the service, the anthem by
the choir and the solo by Mr. Bar
stow being exceptionally fine. Mr.
Barstow has a rich tenor voice, the
tones being sweet and powerful,
and he renders his music as only a
cultivated singer can. The choir
under his training is rapidly ac
quiring a degree of proficiency that
places them in the front rank of the
choirs of our city. Come and hear
them.
The Gordon cornet band re
turned Saturday from Omaha where
it participated in the evening
parades and in ever' instance was
given the position of honor. AVith
their elegant uniforms and excellent
music the boys proved the head
center of attraction, and were up
roariously cheered by the crowd
from one end of the line of march
to the other. In fact the band re
ceived nothing less tliau a popular
ovation each time it appeared upon
the streets. The Omaha visit has
made a state reputation for the
Gordon cornet baud, and we opine
that in the future the organization
will be in demand at all state gath
erings. The gentlemanly conduct
and bearing ot the members wbilp
in Omaha won tor them many kind
words.

The Board of Education has
accepted a proposition from Prof.
Garlich to teach music in the public
schools free of charge to the Board.
The Professor will teach one grade
in each ward for one term and then
change to another grade, thus giv
ing instruction to all pupils. This
is certainly very generous on the
part of Prof. Garlichs, and under
his instruction the pupils are sure
to make rapid advancement.
"The next time we go to the
Omaha lair,'' said one of the man
agers of the Lincoln county exhibit,
"we will take a s'ack of rotten pota
toes and $500 and we will be sure
to get first prize." Such an insin
uation is,perhaps a little broad, but
that Lincoln county ' received a
"yellow" deal from the judges who

exhibits 'ii admitted by all who vis
itedtlie fair, and some are inclined
to think that 'the judges were in
fluenced by some "power" or else
they were highly prejudiced against
Lincoln countv because her pro
ducts were raised by irrigation.
Thousands of visitors expressed
the opinion that our county was
entitled to second or third prize, and
yet these judges who probablj- are
not competent" to pass judgment
upon an agricultural display gave
us ninth place. Though the judges
gave Lincoln cdunty a rotten deal,
it is pleasing to know that the dis
play attracted more attention than
any other at the fair, and that much
good is certain to follow the advpr
tising of the irrigated section re
ceived through that medium. The
gentlemen in charge ot our exhibit
were kept busy every minute of the
day answering questions propound
ed by the interested spectators
many of the . latter announcing
their intention of visiting this sec
tion. Though considerable expense
was attached to making the display
the countv will within the next
year be well repaid in the way of
new settlers who are sure to come.
To those who had charge of the ex
hibit the thanks of the people of
this section are due, for they cer
tainly performed their work faith
fully and well.
