John Alexander was the first
farmer to mow the weeds along the
highway on his farm in this vicin

suit it would make their farms look
100 per cent better and be a big im
provement to the highways as well.
The large crop of small grain in
the valley will soon put a large
amount of money into circulation
as the crop is simply immense and
prices fair. Some of our populist
friends remarked last fall during
the campaign that if McKiuley was
elected president there would be no
use of putting in a crop in the
spring as it woula not be worth
anything when ready for morket.
The majority of them did not let
this foolish idea keep them from
putting in a large acreage of small
grain last spring and a big crop is
the result. Last season at this
time wheat was selling from 30 to
35 cents per bushel and this season
no better wheat is selling at 50 and
55 cents per bushel and theDingley
bill has only been in effect a few
days. ' Pat.

THE EPWOETH LEAGUE CONVENTION.
The third annual convention of
the West Nebraska Conference Ep-
. . .
worth League is now 111 session in
this city. The West Nebraska
Conference is composed of the ter
ritor' embraced in the Fifth and
Sixth congressional districts, with
in which there are 135 chapters ot
the League with a membership of
8,000.
Among the prominent men in
church and league work who
are present are Bishop Ninde,
of Detroit, president of the
Epworth Leagues of the World,
President Haywood of the Confer
ence League, Presiding Elder
Smith of the Kearney District and
Presiding Elder Leonard of the
North Platte District. The officers
of the Conference League are also
present. Dr.Halstead of St.
Paul's - church at Lincoln and
Dr.. Berry editor of the Epworth
Herald andRv, EllinwoDd of the
Wesley an University will arrive
this erening and assist in the con
vention work.
The opening session of the con
vention was held last evening at
the opera house with an attendance
of 160 delegates, about one hundred
visitors and several hundred citi
zens. The hall is decorated with
flags, bunting and League em
b lems, over the front of the stage
is suspended thfc word "welcome"
in bold relief.
The programme opened with the
song "Jesus the Light of the
World," in .which the Leaguers
joined with a heartiness that indi
cated enthusiasm in the work, The
congregational singing is led by
Robt. Davies, of Cozad, theconfer
ence chorister. Rev. Smith read
part of the third chapter of
Proverbs and .offered up a very
earnest praj-er. Miss Grace Laug
don rendered a piano solo,v after
which B. L. Robinson delivered' the
address of welcome. Mr. R. was
in his most happy mood and his re
marks were of a hearty, earnest
nature with enough of pleasantries
to make them thoroughly ap
preciated by tile audience," and
especially by the delegates and visi
tors who were given to understand
that North Platte is theirs for the
three days they will, bz with us.
President Ha-wood replied to
this address of welcome in a very
neat manner and spoke of North
Platte as one of the most widely
known towns in the country. While
in Toronto attending the National
Convention of the Epworth League
he was reminded of North Platte's
existence by the presence of large
bills announcing the Wild West
Show and Buffalo Bill. Mr. Hay
wood is a pleasant speaker and an
excellent presiding officer. The Y.
M. C. A. quartette favored the
audience with a selection, and then
President Hawood introduced
Bishop Ninde, who delivered an
address upon "The Urgent Needs
of Christian Young People." The
Bishop is an easytalker has a ready
command of language with which
to clearly and forcibly express his
thoughts, and never have we heard
a speaker in North Platte command
so close attention from an audience.
His address was one ladened with
good advice to young christians, to
follow which will result in a higher
and more perfect plane of christian
life and work. He related a num
ber of incidents in his own life to
illustrate the phases of the subject
under consideration. To the
Leaguers his address will prove
useful, for they will treasure and
act upon his advice. Others not
within the folds of the christian
church were benefitted by his words
of wisdom.
This morning devotional exer
cises were held at the Methodist
church at 7.45, Bishop Ninde offici
ating, prior to leaving for the east
on the morning train.

Two weeks ago Peter Ryan of

510,000 in cash for his ranch of 760
acres, which lies in one body. The
offer was made by George Knapp,
who' hid been looking over the

Ryan has a good house, good
stables and shedding, and sixteen
miles of wire fence. Nineteen years
ago last April he located on the
land and had just $3 in his pocket.
He worked in Omaha and Iowa the
following summer to earn money
enough to seud to Pennsylvania for
his family. -
