It's a popular movement. John Federhoof and George G. McKay brought in nineteen quail, two prairie chickens and a cotton tail yesterday as a result of a hunt near Maxwell. A chicken roost, in the west end was raided last night: It is not iair to presume, however, that the colored 4,gemmenM with us last evening are the guilty parties. W. W. Lemon returned to Oma ha yesterday after passing about two weeks in town. - If Mr. Lemon can dispose of his interests in Omaha he may remove to this city. Prof. Garliciis should reorga nize his choral society and give a series of low price concerts. North Platte people are lovers of music, as attested by the audiences pres ent at the last two concerts given at the opera house. The Wild West Hose Co. held its annual election of officers last night with the following result: Foreman, James Downie; first as sistant. Chas. Samelson: second assistant, Chas Lierk; secretary, J. W. Fisher; treasurer, V. VonGoetz. Judge Ray has not performed a marriage ceremony since Oct. 7tb, and he is beginning to fear that his past services in this direction have not proven that marriage is a suc cess. It has also been some 'time since he issued a license. A country resident, who is well versed in county affairs, is prepar ing a series of articles on county politics which will be published in these columns weekly after January 1st These articles will throw light upon subjects ot importance which heretofore have been kept dark. The Cody Guard has, along with other companies of the N. N. G.,. petitioned congress to furnish the militia ot this state with the new style Springfield rifles. They are lighter and shorter than the guns now used by the N. N. G. President Fort, of the -state irrigation society, was up in Sidney this week assisting the local com mittee in perfecting arrangements for the state convention to be held on the 18th and 19th inst. He thinks the convention will be a big success. On the 28th of this month an election will be held at Paxton for the purpose of voting on the organi zation of the Paxton irrigation dis trict which takes in part of the west end of this county. The district will comprise about 7,000 acres ot land. Standard Oil Weingand received a letter this morning announcing that Mrs. W. will return next week. She has been visiting in Wisconsin, arid on account of the cold weather will not protract her visit there as long as expected. A newspaper will be launched at Hershey about January 1st and it is said that Sutherland will also have a paper before long. The editors are the only class of people who are getting rich these days and it is not strange that so many new pa pers arc being established. The Slayton Jubilee singers had a large audience last night and gave an entertainment lasting two hours. They were very good vocal ists, but had they sang more of the old-time southern melodies, and in fused a little more life "into their music the audience would, have been better satisfied. The sinjrinjr by the male quartette was partic ularly: good. Nearly every song, however, was loudly applauded, and the company responded with en cores. The proposed sugar beet con vention at Fremont' seems to be assuming material shape. The sugar beet question is one in which the people of this section should in terest themselves. If the proper efforts are made Ave believe that within the next two years reducing works can be established at several points in this county, and that a refinery which will use the output of these reduction factories can be secured for North Platte. If the farmer on irrigated lands wishes to attain the best results he must diversify his crops,, and the addi tion of the sugar beet to the crops already raised would prove profit able. It is therefore to his interest tha these factories be secured. Pr.nryr Dearfib? Ieaa pay with pleasure Uuti I Imtc beea mAag yer aretllciBe, and -will rec- miumiiiKI.it w mi wufeetor mates.

Get your Pictures Framed for Christmas. Yours for Business, ' " . E. B, WARNER. Under the head ot "More or less Less Personal," in the State Journal yesterday there appeared the following: "What we want in our business," said E. F. Seeberger, superintendent of the North Platte Land and Water company, "is the repeal of the herd law in western Nebraska. That would compel my people to fence 18,000 acres of land, but they are ready to do it at any time. When the day of the irriga tion farmer will have come every farmer in the valley can have a small herd of cattle that can range on the high lands in the summer and when fall comes they can be brought in and kept or fattened on the feed that will be abundant orily where irrigation is possible. Even the 'divide' farmer in the western half of the state would be benefitted by a change in the herd law. He could fence his land at small, ex pense aud when ever3T other man did the same he could let his cattle feed at will on the choicest and best grass to be found on a thousand hills Perhaps the time isn't ripe for this yet, but it will conie and when it does western Nebraska will be in the swim." "The Fast Mail" which appears at the opera house Monday even ing next is said to be the most suc cessful railroad and scenic melo drama on the road this season. Mr. L. J. Carter, the author and manager, has contrived to weave into a consistent storj- nearly all the good points of the sensational drama. The climax ot each act is strong enough to sustain the whole rplay, yet so well graded are the features of the piece that one views with increasing interest through the five acts, the murder and the clever trick with the Grandfather's Clock in the first act; the Mississippi fiver steamer, its engine room showing a practical furnace, and the explosion with "complete change of scene behind a curtain of rising smoke," behind which is the wreck, as the curtain falls oil the second act; the "life-size" freight train, with its realistic engine and sixteen box-cars, with their famil iar lettering followed, t the close of the third act, by "TheFastMail;" the dago dive of the fourth act and the thrilling incidents and hair breadth escapes which take place there; and then the "full front view of Niagara Falls, as seen from the centre of suspension bridge," upon which the final curtain decends.
