I Roailmnatcr Connor Resting. Win. Connor, who has been road master of the western district ot the Nebraska division for the past six ors,cvcn years, has resigned his position, to take effect July 1st. Ills successor, whose name was not learned, comes from the eastern district. Mr, Connor has been an energetic and popular citizen, and our people arc sorry to lose him as a resident, It is rumored that J. II. McCon ncll, superintendent of motive power, will resign his position. Considerable triction with Mr. Uurt is assigned as the cause. Engine 1714 which broke its side rods on the Fourth district Tues day, was brought to these shops Wednesday lor repairs. Charley Scyfcrlh returned Tues day from Sidney where he had been working for several days. Charley has for some time past been sort of a relief machinist for the Sidney men who take a lay-off. Local receipts of freight have been quite heavy this month, but arc a shade below those of June, 1890. Last year the receipts were swelled considerably by reason of the cattle which were shipped to this station. Miss Susie Fraacr, who had been visiting Rev. Wilson and wife, went to Gibbon this morning. Marshal Rice received a wire from South Omaha this iorcuoon stating that the thief who stole Tom Donegan's watch at the shop six weeks ago, had been arrested at that place. The marshal will go down lor the thief tonight. In speaking of the North Platte Street Fair the Sutherland Free Lance says: It is at the Street Fair where "high jinks" can be raised several notches higher than common while the starred guardian of the peace looks complacently on or is not to be found. It Is the street fair where one vainly tries to pierce the mask of giddy folly and lose ourselves in an abandonment of foolishness. North Platte has decided to give up her dignity for a few days and "whoop 'cr up" for the giddy goddess ot mirth and hilarity. She will lay aside her business cares and the starchincss of official life and will rush madly into masquerade?, street paradep, baud music and the eloquent spcil of the street fakir and "Soapy Bill." "A little nonsense, now and then, is relished by the wisest men." Stand up for the North Platte Street Fair.
