J. Crusen, of North Platte, is assisting Rev. Wilcox in conducting the revival meetings this week. Mr. Crusen is a very accomplished revivalist and should be heard by everyone before he leaves." "The Tornado" at the opera house last evening drew a large audience, though not nearly so large as was present at the "Fast Mail," Owing to the stage being too small, the scenery in "The Tornado" could not be used to best advantage; yet it was one of the best, if not the best, scenic production we have ever had in the city. The audience last night was well pleased. E. F. Seeberger never loses an opportunity to do a little mission ary work for Lincoln county. While in Colorado last week he learned that a party of farmers from Gage county, Neb., would visit Colorado with a view of locating on irrigated lands. He immediately wired the facts to Secretary Page, of the North Platte water company, . at Denver and Mr. Page left instanter for Beatrice to see the parties. The result is that these farmers will visit this section this week instead of Colorado, and it is quite likely they will invest in irrigated land.

The name selected is "Martha G. Kimball." Mrs. Kimball, of Phila delphia. was an army nurse during the rebellion, and suggested to Gen. John A. .Logan, when commander in chief of the G. A. R., the observ ance that he ordained as Memorial Day. In recognition of this, a flag staff and flag was raised to her memory in Philadelphia, June 14th, 1894.

Minor for deco rated china are now being delivered, and the work she has executed cer- ainly speaks well for her ability as an artist.
