There is considerable conjecture
as to the result of the game of ball
on Friday of next week between
the local nine and the Omaha
league team, In a game Wednes

District Oratorioal Context.
The oratorical contest of the
West Nebraska Oratorical Associa
tion was held at Lloyd's opera
louse last night. There were only
three high schools Sidney, Cozad
and North Platte represented in
the contest this year. The contest
ants were- Miss Bessie Finney of
North Platte. Miss Mamie Hansen
of Sutherland, and Miss Fern
Green of Cozad, in the oratorical
class: Mainard Crosby of Sutber-
and, Miss Adell Lytic of North
Platte, Miss Mary Barnard of
Cozad, and Miss Helen Neilscn of
Sutherland, in the humorous class;
Miss Lula Wallace of Cozad and
Miss Mary Sullivan of North
Platte in the dramatic class. Sev
eral of the contestants from both
Sutherland and Cozad were quite
young but they did remarkably well.
The judges of the contest were
Prof. Clcmmons, of Fremont, Supt.
Soitly, of Perkins county and Mr.
Turner, of Lincoln. They awarded
the medals to the following con
testantsin the dramatic class,
Miss Mary Sullivan; in the oratori
cal clasB, Miss Hansen, and in the
humorous class MIrs Mary Barnard.
During the evening the Parlor
Konccrt Klub, a new msical organ
isation, rendered scycral selec
tions which were excellent and
were heartily enjoyed by the audi
ence, 'l'lic evening was greatly
marred by the discourteous, rough
conduct of a lot of North Platte
boys and young men who whistled,
whooped and yelled between se
lections and when the contestants
from abroad were speaking they
tried to start a dog fight in the
rear of the hall and in other wavs
made a great deal ot disturbance.
North Platte audiences have suf
fered from this sort of thing long
enough, and it is time these ill-bred
young men were tavght to respect
the rights ot others, even if a jail
sentence is necessary to do it.

Wednesday afternoon alter having
been off a week on account of the
illness of liis wife.
A work train is in sen ice cast of

i The tenth new engine for freight
service on the Central Pacific went
j through here yesterday. They were
i built by the Cooke Locomotive
! Works at Patterson, N. J., and
there arc twenty more yet to come.
In some respects they correspond
to the 1700 class in service on the
Union Pacific but they are a better
proportioned engine and have a
number of improvements, the
principal ones being appliances for
; economizing- the use of fuel. The
fire box is not nearly so deep as
those of the 1700s but they are con.
sidcrable longer. Their construc
tion, however, is such that they are
much easier to fire, the grates
being arranged in such a fashion
that the fire works towards the
front end of. the fire box.
