night from Omaha, where he went
fdr the purpose or conferring with;
Gen'l Passcnirer Acrcnt Lomax in
regard to rates for 'the street fair.
Mr. Bratt, accompanied by J. E.
ICvans, who happened to be in Oma
ha, went to sec Mr. Lomax and as
a result gained greater concessions
than the company first gaye. Mr.
Lomax made the committee the fol
lowing proposition:
"Wcwill extend the territory to
include all points between and in
cluding Cheyenne and Kearney,
rate to be fare and third for round
trip. In addition wilt run a special
train trom Grand Island to North
Platte on the basis of $2.50 per
passenger for round trip provided
you will give us a guarantee of
$350.00."
This is considerably mare favor
able than the first proposition made
by the company, which was a fare
of one and a third rate from points
within a radius of seventy-five miles
of North Platte. As above seen the
territory to which the rate applies
is now irotn Kearney to Cheyenne,
Messrs. Bratt and Evans arc to be
congratulated for the good work

STEBMINB WRITES A LETTER.
The Omaha Daily Bee of Wed
nesday contained the following-:
Noktii Platth, Nun., July 30.
Editor of the Bee: The Sun
day World-Herald represents an
interview between its reporter
and myself that is all a lie; that
in North Platte I offered to take
republicans and democrats to the
Grand Island convention and pay
all expenses; that Mark Hanna
was behind the movement, and
that I would give all my old
friends an entertainment. And
I now. say to the World-Herald
that if ut any time they want
money they are at liberty to
draw a check on Mark Hanna
and sign my name to it.
As to the conventions. The
Sioux Falls convention went
down a democrat's gullet. How
would the World-Herald like to
swallow the Grand Island con
vention? Kdmistcn, the re
deemed democrat, rode a dis
tance equal to one and one-half
times around the world'on rail
road passes to inspect coal oil and
work for the democratic party.
He charged the mileage up to the
1 state and the democrats at the
state house allowed the bills and
I paid Edmisten the money. The
democrats of the stale house
I rode to Grand Island on passes
to try and swallow the conven
tion. That molasses swiner.
, Sheldon, rode to Grand Island on
a pass to report for a democratic
paper. Sheldon says he is going
to write a letter to Dcaver's
paper against passes.
If these democrats don't want
