Wednesday morning as Mrs. Jos
Morsch was fill'rag the gasoline
stove used on the lunch counter in
the Morsch restaurant to keep the
coffee warm, the gasoline ignited
and in a few moments the fire had
spread all through the two front
rooms. An alarm of fire which had
been sent in was promptly respond
ed to by the department and the
flames were extinguished but not
until considerable damage had been
done both by fire and water to the
dishes and the furniture of both
rooms. The damage will amount
to fully $400. There was some in
surance on the building but no in
surnncc on its contents, so the loss
is quite a heavy one.
Want to Establish a Separator.
W. W. Marple, of Lincoln,
general agent of the creamery com
pany, and Mr. Sears, manager ot
the Prcmont creamery, were in
town Tuesday and interviewed a
number otour business men relative
to establishing a separator station
at this city. While here the gentle
men made arrangements to hold a
meeting for business men and far
mers at the court house next Mon
day afternoon, when they will be
present and give their plan of estab
lishing separator stations. They
will also hold a meeting at the
Murphy school house Monday even
ing at eight o'clock.
The company has established 110
separator stations in Nebraska, and
its plan in brief is to have a local
stock company organize and erect
the building and put in the machin
ery. TUe creamery company enters
ints a contract to employ a man
and run the plant for a period of
ten years. If the average amount
ol milk received is 3000 pounds or
over per day, the creamery company
pays rent to the stock-holders for
the use of the building at the rate
of six per cent a year; when it runs
5000 pounds, eight per cent: 8000
pounds, ten per cent; 10,000 pounds
twelve per cent.
The average cost of putting up a
station, including building and
machinery, is $2,000. If the stock
holders desire, they can rent a build
ing and put in the machinery only.
This costs about $1,500. It is the
plan to get milk from within a
radius of twenty miles of the town
wherein the separator is located.
Routes are established and one man
brings in the milk each day on each
route. This man is paid ten per
cent of the sum realized eacli month
by his customers. After placing in
the separator and extracting the
butter fat the milk is returned to
the customers.
The average price paid by the
creamery company for butter tat
during the past two years was 17
cents per pound. There are four
pounds of butter fat in 100 pounds
of milk. At the minimum of 3000
pounds of milk a day, $20 per day
or over $-0,000 per year would be
paid out to the farmers. But with
the number of farmers within
radius of ten miles of North Platte
a separator station here should re
ceive 10,000 or 12,000 pounds of
milk per day, which, would mean
seventy-five or eighty dollars to the
farmers per day.
At the meetings to be held Mon
day Messrs. Marple and Scars wil
go into details concerning the scp
arator, and we trust that there will
be a good attendance of farmers
and business men at the meeting in
town, and a good attendance of
farmers at the meeting at the Mur
phy school house.
That the farmers make money in
selling their milk is attested by the
iact that the business of each of
the 110 separator stations establish
cd by tue company is increasing
each mouth.
Let the farmers investigate the
matter, and this they can best do by
attending the meetings to be held
Monday.

"Tony" Davis Drowned.
Tony Davis was drowned Tues
day evening while he and a friend
were bathing in the Gothenburg
canal a few miles west of Vroman
Part of the canal had been dredged
out to a depth of eight feet and the
current there is quite swift. A
Tony could not swim he went into
the shallower part intending to
paddle around for a little while but
Operator Moore, who can swim
struck into the deeper part and
swam about a hundred yards. Just
ns he was climbing on the bank he
heard Tony call for help and look
ing round saw that he had gotten
beyond his depth and was strug
gling to regain his footing. Moore
called to him not to struggle so
and rushed to his assistance but
by the time lie reached him, Tony's
struggles and the current had
carried him into still deeper water.
When Moore attempted to help him
he tound that Tony was too heavy
for him to handle so he disentan
gled himself from his drowning
embrace and swam to bank, call
ing to Lyon, another companion
who had remained out of the water
to bring a pole lying not far away.
They reached the pole to Tony
and he grasped it only to lose, it as
he was too much exhausted by his
struggles to regain his hold. By
this time he had been carried still
farther down the canal to a bridge
and underneath that he went down
and did not rise. When his body
was recovered there was an ugly
