THE ASSESSOES ABE SLOW.
Assessors ot tlie county are
very slow in making- their returns
to the county clerk, only about
halt a dozen books havinjr so far
been brought in. If the assessors
were more prompt in making" their
returns, the clerk could make up
his assessment footings early in
June, the board of equalization
could finish its work quicker, and
the drawing- of warrants for claims
against the county could be made
earlier. As a rule the assessors
books are brought in any time be
tween May 1st and June 1st, the
clerk is delayed in making" his foot
ing's, and as a result the work of
drawing- warrants is delayed until
about July 15th, whereas if the as
sessors were more more prompt the
warrants could be issued from
fifteen to twenty days earlier. No
assessor requires more than thirty
days to make an assessment of his
precinct if he works properly.
HASD FOB TELEPHONE COMPANIES
I here is now some question
whether the North Platte tele
phone line will be completed. The
recent decision of the United States
supreme court favorable to the Bell
telephone company practically pro
hibits the use of an' other machine
than the . Bell. Having" thus a
monopoty, the Bell companj' will
continue to charge an exorbitant
rental, which in some cases is $40
per 'phone. This rental is nearly
twice the sum the local company
proposed to charge its customers,
and it is therefore eas' to see that
if the proposed line is put in oper
ation it will be necessary for the
company to charge its patrons
about three times the price original
ly asked, and at such a steep figure
it is not likely a sufficient number
"EOE FAIB VIRGINIA."
There will be an entertainment
of more than usual attraction
at the opera house on Thursday,
May 20th, when those admirable
young" actors, Mr. and Mrs. Whytal
will be seen in Mr. "Wbytal's ex
tremely successful drama, "For
Fair Virginia." This was one of
the most highly praised of the new
plays of last season, and tells a ro
mantic story of domestic life in Vir
ginia dnring" the late war. It has a
military back ground and atmos
phere out it is not oy any means a
melodrama. Indeed the stars ap
pear in the light comedy characters
The Brooklyn Eag-le stid: "The
romantic scenes and nervous situa
tionsof yet another ,war drama
won instant and increasing" favor in
the presentation of "For Fair Vir
ginia, at tue Ampmon last mgnt,
the judgment being" rendered by an
audience as large as it was enthus
iastic in its applause. Mr. and
Mrs. Whital are excellent actors
whom it will be a pleasure to see
often.
Mrs. Whytal is a comtnedienne of
sympathetic temperament and of a
touch whose art and certainty were
quite surprising". Imagine Mrs.
Kendal, twenty years younger, and
the reader will get a fair idea of
Mrs. Whytal. The supporting"
company has been most carefully se
lected. It includes Mabel Bert,
Frank Doane, George F. Farren,
John Woodard and that truly de
lightful child actress, Lottie Biscoe.
The piece is presented unger the
direction of Mr. Juliau Magnus.
