ment should be represented at the

in sight.
. The ladies of the Catholic
church will serve supper next Fri

the midnight intermission.
The local members of the rail- j
road committee have done some
little work toward securing sub
scriptions tor the preliminary work

citizens will do all in their power j
toward getting this great project
started.
Improvements are still being
made at the pumping" plant of the
waterworks company, the latest
being the covering- ot the floor with
linoleum. The pump room is now

Coleman is a tireless worker and
'believes in having" everything in
apple-pie order.
- Engineer Wm. Whitlock was
the victim of an accident Sunday
j Jiight which, though very serious,
might have proved worse. While
entering the Kearney yards one of
t .the arch pipes in the engine ex
. ploded and became disarranged.and
the steam therefrom struck Mr.
Whitlock in the face, scalding him
very severely, and also burning
his hand. Realizing that to remain
in the cab probably meant death he
applied the air. and jumped from
the engine. In doing this his
-; ' right-ankle was badly sprained and
his head cut by the fall. The fire
man being- on the running" board at
the time, escaped the steam. Mr.
"Whitlock was relieved of Ms
run by an engineer sent from Grand
: ? 5 Island and brought Tiotne to this
city. Dr. Donaldson is attending
him and savs no serious results
" . are'liiely to follow. In this un
. fortunate accident he has the sym
pathy of a large circle of friends.

There seems to be a disposition
on the part of some to talk rather
lightly of the projected railroad up
the North Platte river. This is
wrong. Everyone shonld put his
shoulder to the wheel and push the
matter along, and not make re
marks of a detrimental nature.

The talk about the sugar factory
not being able to secure contracts
for beets for another year is all
bosh. There were enough farmers
whose beets were cultivated proper
ly and yielded the necessary purity
that the factory was jusified in ac

another 3'ear. We venture to say
the assertion that next year the
acreage here in Hall county will be
greater than e-yer. There will no
doubt always f)e more ,or l.ess dis
satisfaction with this as with other
crops, but on the whole vye believe
the results will prove that there is
profit and safety in the sugar beet
crop. Grand Island Independent.

President Park and Secretary
Seeberger, of the district fair as
sociation, have formulated certain
plans for the fair, and these will be
laid before the board of managers
at a meeting to be held some time
next week. These two officials
will probably recommend that a
lease of the fair be given North
Platte for a term of five years, and
in case such is granted the present
grounds of the county fair associa
tion will be fixed up in fine shape.
A new wire fence around the
grounds, a 50x60 agricultural hall,
increased g"rand-stand seating ca
pacity, and other minor improve
ments will be necessary. A recon
struction of the bicycle track will
probably be made-by the local wheel
club, and in the center of the ground
which the track surrounds will be
constructed a small lake in which
will te placed the statue of Col.
Cody. The latter's irrigated farm,
showing tlie practical workings of
irrigation will be located adjacent
to the fair grounds and will prove
an interesting feature. The speed
ring will be given due attention,
and some fine attractions will be
offered. No date for the fair has
been made, other than it will prob
ly be held the latter part of August.
The date upon which Col. Cody will
bring his Wild West show to this
city will probably govern the date
of the fair, the object being to have
the two attractions at the same
time. It is proposed to have the
fair continue four days, the first of
which will be mainly a day of
preparations. Mr. . Seeberger
thinks it is safe to predict a paid
attendance of 2,000 visitors during
each of the three days.
DEATH OF H. I. SWASTHODT.
Haryev I. Swarthout, one of our
tnost respected citizens and a prom
inent business man was almost in
stantly killed at 4:20 Friday by the
discharge from a shot-gun.
The sad event took place in the
room in the rear of Mr. Swarthout's
store, into which he had stepped
while clerk Miltonberger was tem
porarily absent from the store, and
the latter, upon returning, was
startled to hear the report of a gun
lollowed by a heavy fall. Mr. Mil
tonberger followed by others rushed
into the room and was horrified to
find Mr. Swarthout in the throes of
death with a gunshot wound over
his heart and the gun lying across
his leg. Death was almost instan
taneous. The news spread rapidly,
and in a few minutes hundreds of
people had gathered at the store.
A coroner's jury was impannejed,
and after taking testiirKny the
same
evening
and the following
forenoon, rendered a verdict of sui
cide while suffering from temporary
abberration of the mind.' This
decision was based principally upon
a letter which the deceased had
written and placed in his overcoat
pocket, the gist ot which was that
he could no longer face the trouble
brought about by financial affairs.
Mr. Swarthout came to North
Platte in 1874 and accepted a posi
tion with the then grocery firm of
Patterson &Ottraan. Subsequent
ly he engaged in the grocery busi
ness with J. W. Ridgway, but the
business did not prosper and the
firm sold out to T. J. Foley. Soon
after Mr. Swarthout accepted a
position' in the store of Chas. Mc
Donald, where he remained until
about two years ago, when he
formed a partnership with R. D.
Thomson in the grocery business,
which was continued until the time
of his death- "
. For the past fourteen years the
writer had been intimately ac
quainted with Mr. Swarthout and
can add his testimony as to
the standing of the deceased as a
sincere christian, an honest and
capable man, and one who never
forgot a friend. In fact no one can
doubt but that he was a good man
in every sense of the term and that
his death should occur by his own
hand seems almost increditable.
The death of no resident of the city
could bring a greater measure of
regret to our people than has the
end of this man, and that death
should occur as it did only adds to
the general regret.
The deceased leaves a wite and
four children, and to them the deep
est sympathy of a lovjng people
goes forth; may the heavenly Fath
er comfort them in this their-darkest
hour of all earthly sorrow.
The funeral was held from the
Presbyterian church at 2:30 jTester
day afternoon, the attendance being
particularly large, among those
present being members of the A.
O. U. W., the M. W. of A. and the
Order of the World, of which lodges
he was a-member.
