arc supposed to collect. A majority
of those who did make an attempt
;it,ihis particular work were by no
means thorough, and the statistics
are therefore practically worthless,

the room was a mass of ilamc.
Neighbors quickly gathered and bv

brigade the lire was extinguished.
The kitchen walls, lloor and furni
ture were badly scorched, and con
siderable wearing apparel, forming
part of the weekly wash, was
rendered useless.

acted a iargc volume of preliminary
business. Reports from the various
committees showed that the work
was being pushed with a vigor that
means a very successful fair. Ap
propriations for the several features

like sum for music. A effort will
be made to secure a large show
lent which Col. Cody shipped home

with cots use it for sleeping pur
poses1 for those who cannot secure
rooms,
It was suggested that hay be
provided free for farmer's teams
and suitable laud be secured on
which teams and wagons could be
kept and that a water main be laid
to such grounds. This suggestion
will be acted upon.
The amusement committee re
ported that a number of attractions
had offered their services, and that
there would be no trouble in secur
ing suilicieut amusements. A base
ball tournament and a big shoot for
gun clubs will be among the enter
taining features. A band contest
may also be one of the features.
One of the Important features of
the fair will be agricultural ex
hibits, for which liberal premiums
will be paid,

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

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.
