SEVENTEENTH YEA1L
NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA, NOVEMBER 1, 1901.
WE SHOULD LEARN
Something from what takes place arround us. You have recently seen two of North Platte's businoss men adopt the cash system. - One of them saying
in a circular sent out that a merchant doing business on a credit basis always has to charge a certain per cent moro for tho gootis ho sells than would bo the
case if he did business for Cash. How many of these losses have you paid for? Better trade at a store that has no old losses to covor nor new ones to make.

At tho Old Cross Bonds.
The principal dramatic novelty
of the current season is the pro
duction of the new play by Hal
Reid, At the Old Cross Roads, by
Mr. Arthur C. Alston's excellent
company of artists. It is extremely
doubtiuj t any other portion of our
country lends itself more readily to
the purposes ot the dramatist than
the romantic south, Not meaning
from the standpoint of the late war
for in At the Qld Cross louds the
spene was laid at an entirely differ
pnt ncjod-
The story that it reveals is
highly dramatic the situations
and climaxes thrilling in the ex
treme, but the whole is so happily
blended with unctuous comedy
scenes and incidents as to charm
all. Another important factor in a
play of this character is the fact
that it affords unlimited opportu
nities for an especially beautiful
scenic display in addition to very
charming toilette displays by the
feminine portion of the company.
Manager Aiston iB credited with
lurnishing a most complete and
elaborate production and best of all
has been lortunatc in securing an
excellent company of ladies and
gentlemen of established reputa
tion who have many succcssess to
their credit".

"Arkansas."
The presentation of "Arkansas"
at the opera house Wednesday
evening by local talent, assisted by
Frank flanje, was witnessed by
a,n audience that almost filled the
seating capacity of the house.
Without going into the detail of
noting the work of each one taking
part, it can justly be said that the
rendition of this yery strong plaj
was most creditable an called for
many words of commendation.
Though the time for the preparat
tion of the play was short, each
player gave an interpretation of
his or her part and well sustained
it throughout. The make-up of
the entire cast was exceptionally
good,
The special members between
the acts consisted of a cake walk
by six couples of children, a coon
song by little Kvnlfne Daly, a solo
by Hazel Smith and a tenor solo
by Gus Chamberlain. TIiorc were
all excellent, and for one so small
as 1C valine Daly special mention is
deserved. Her gestures were as
perfect and graceful as that of any
child we have ever seen.
Mr, Daniels deserves credit for
the excellent manner in which the
play was produced.
Following the performance a
dance was held which was partici
pated in by qnite a number of peo
ple. . r ,:
The grqis receipt o -the. play
were q'rje 'hundred, ud seventy
dollars

Ladies' Auxiliary Eqtoraiu,.
The ladies' a,usiliary of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men entertained the members of
that order and a number of their
friends at the K. P. hall Tuesday
evening. There were nearly one
hundred persons present, and pro
gresBiye high-five wa,s the leading
feature of a,tn,sem.en,t, At this
grirne twelve, or thirteen tables
were in use, and prizes were
awarded, Mrs. H. S. Crockett and
Claude Delancy won the Jadics' and
gentlemen's first prige respectively,
while Miss Myrtle Sxharmann and
W. 1, 0oadwin fairly won the con
solation prices. For those who did
not play cards other amusements
were provided At the close of the
games refreshments, which were
varied, nicely prepared and very
much enjoyed, were served by .the
members of the auxilliary. Some
of those present entered a protest
against. Arthur Yates eating so
many of the chickens, but Arthur
explained that ifowl was his long
suit, and besides he had, been, diot.
ing himself fo,r. several days In
anticipate n of hs event.
This evening proved a very en
joyable one for all present and the
ladies were' voted capable entpr
tainers, President Warner b,l "the Com
mercial Club. .will '.BQon isbuc a call
for a meeting :ol all members to
consider matters pertahung to the
business interests, of the cjty.
There are several questions of Im
portance which should be con

Anonymous Lottora.
The writing of anonymous
letters lsto be deprecated. When
ever a letter ot that character ap
pears in the public prints", it is safe
to conclude, as, a. goncral proposi
tion tha.b the wy.ter Is not what he
professes to be, or for some other
roason, is ashamed to have the put
lie know who and what he in,
Anonymous writing has frequently
done irreparable damage to inno
cent parties, while it usually tails
to accomplish the end for which it
is intended. "The letters of Junius"
are a striking example of this kind
of correspondence, but though
written by a master hand, in the
conclusion ol that renowned con
troversey "Junius" was vanquished.
The writer for the lOra who shields
himself and his intentions under
the nom-de-plumc of "A Republic
can", and whose sinister motives
are the principal earmarks of his
corresponden.coi is to bo admired
for th childlike simplicity of his
nature but greatly to be censured
for trying to work off such an old
gag on the intelligent voters of
Lincoln county.
Tub TutnuNE is rca,djt to wager
dollars to dougjirta tliat "A Re
publican,", ij not a republican and
further that he dare not give his
name to the people, H what he
avers in his effusions is true, he
should not bo ashamed to make his
statements over his own signature.
If he is stating falsehoods he is a
poltroon and a coward who retorts
to thiB unfair method with the evi
dent intention ot deceiving the pub
lic, After Tuesday "Republican"
will learn how little weight 8u.c.h
correspondence has with t,b,Cj people.
