DEATH OF JOHN SAVTLEY.
A telegram received in this city
Wednesday evening from Suther
land announced the sad news that
John Hawley had been found dead
in a field in which he had been at
work. Later details are to the
effect that Air. Hawley 's death was
due to a hemorrhage. He was rid
ing a sulky plow when seized with
one of the severe coughing spells
which it seems he has been sub
jected to for some time past. This
strain resulted in a hemorrhage,
and he fell from his seat on the
plow. Mrs. Hawley noticing that
the team was driverless, hastened
to the spot and found Mr. Hawley
face downward a short distance
from the plow. She raised his head'
and discovered that his face was
covered with blood and his body ap
parently lifeless. Summoning as
sistance the body was carried tQ
the house, where an examination
proved lite .extinct. The ground
around where the plow stood indi
cated that Mr. Hawley had walked
around after the hemorrhage be
gan, blood being visible in several
places.
John Hawley came to North
Platte about fifteen years ago, and
resided here until 1894, when he
removed with his family to his farm
adjoining the town of Sutherland.
For several years he owned and
conducted the Hawley house in this
city and as landlord made the ac
quaintance of a great majority of
the people of the county. He also
held the office of justice of the peace
for nearly a dozen consecutive
terms. He was an enthusiastic
member of several secret societies
and held the highest offices in the
local lodges, as well as positions in
thetate lodges.
The deceased was a straihtfor
ward man in his dealings with his
fellow men, and was ever willing to
lend aid to those in distress. His
death has cast a gloom over this
community, in which he was so
well known
and his
throughout
and highly regarded,
many acquaintances
the county will share
with, equal
his sudden
-endinjrt
Mr. Hawley leaves a wife and
six children to mourn the loss
of a kind and indulgent hus
band and father. He was a member
of the A. O. XL W., the M. W. ot A.
the Select Jvnights and the K. O. T.
M., in which societies he carried in
surance amountingto 57,000.
The remains will be brought to
this city on Saturday morning and
funeral services held at the Meth
odist church at 2:30 o'clock in
the afternoon. Interment will take
place in the North Platte cemetery.

NEBRASKA. NOTES.
Friends of Congressman Hainer
claim that his opposition will not
be formidable at the district con
vention. They believe that those
who recently opposed him have had
time for mature deliberation and
are disposed to be guided by motives
other than resentment. Congress
man Hainer's supporters now claim
that only three of the eleven
counties will send delegations
opposed to him, and that no two ot
the three counties will combine on
any one candidate. The combined
vote of three counties is only a
small traction of the total number
of delegates, and they will there
fore be in no position to cut much
cheese. State Journal.
A deputy United States marshal
has been prowling around this neck
'o the woods, says a Cottonwood
correspondent of the Harrison
Press, trying to capture some poor
fellow who has been cutting some
of Uncle Sam's substitute for tim
ber that grows on the hills here
abouts. If the "fee" system were
stopped there would be fewer visits
made b these officials to this sec
tion of Nebraska, as the people
here are lawabiding citizens as a
general rule. If officials would try
to stop the leaks and steals in pub
lic life as hard as the' do to punish
some poor wretch for selling a load
of what mav be termed wood to sret
a sack of flour for his suffering
famih- they would be rendering the
public far greater service and those
services would be far better appre
ciated than thev are.
The Omaha Beelias some most
interesting figures respecting the
possibilities of beet sugar produc
tion in Nebraska. That state had
but two factories last year, the val
ue of the funished prodnct of which
is estimated at SS00.000. As these
factories made use of the beets
raised on 9,000 acres, the result is
over $88 an acre. Planted to. corn
the land would have ielded forty
bushels to the acre, or 510, and if
fed to cattle, would well yield $15
an
acre. JLtte largest crop ever
raised in Nebraska was worth $40,
000,000. It the 600,000 acres of Ne
braska farms adapted to the culti
vation of sugar beets were devoted
to that crop the product would be
worth $50,000,000 a year.
There
is no reason whv the production of
,,.mffmm wm. ,s " t.
as important an industry in this
country as in Europe if capital can
be induced to invest inthe neces
sary factories for the conversisn
of the beets into sugar. Indian

The popularity of the ribbon has
brought about the revival of the sash
The summer girl will wear sashes
on as many occasions as possible.
It is hinted that even the new
woman will look upon the sash with
favor. The sash ot the coming
summer is not like the one worn a
ew vears aro. In place of the Ions-
loops the ribbon is tied in a pert
butterfly bow. It stands up
instead of drooping down. The
ends, however, are equally as long.
They reach close to the bottom of
the skirt. The front of the new
sash is shaped like a girdle, giving
the waist a more slender appear
ance than if the ribbon were merely
wound about it.

the wounded. Among the disabled
was a very young man who had

much longer are you going to cut?"
"Until I get the bullet" replied, the

bullet had lodged in skin of man's

had kept it as a souvenir.
