In order to guard against the spread of con
tagcotis diseases all dwellings should be
thoroughly disintected after every case. It
moving into an old house, you know not
what disease germs may be lurking in the
place. Protect yourself and family by hav
ing the place disinfected. Formaldehyde i
recognized by the scientific world as the
most powerful disinfectant known and
and when used judiciously will destroy all
known bacteria without injuring furnish
ings in the room . Experience is required
to do the work properly. Half way meas
ures will not avail.
W. D. Hoover, at Howe's Furniture Store,
is provided with a Formaldehyde Generator
nf the latest and best pattern, and is pre
pared tr do disinfecting by the most ap
proved up-to-date method.

Committee Moettntr.
Pursuant to the call, the com
mittee of tint ty-three appointed to
consider the question of requeuing
or petitioning the county commis
sioner to cnll a pecliil election to
vote on a proposition to iMte bonds
for a new coirt house, met at the
Commercial Club rooms Friday
evening. The committee effected
no organization by electing J. G.
Heeler chairman and V. C. Elder
necrotary.
The need of a new court house
was discussed at some length and
figures wire produced to show that
(he present bonded indebtedness of
the county is $36,000. that there is
57,000 in the trea-ury at present to
apply on these bond, and that the
last of the present outstanding
bonds will expire in I'M J. That by
the time the principal or the pr -prmecl
court house bonds become
due, the present outstanding bonds
would be fully paid. It wag the
-en-e of the meeting that bonds in
the sum of $75,000 should be voted
i ml a building erected that would
uiswer the business requirements
ur fitly years to come. These
kiiicIs could be II xited at three per
cent interest, and to pay the yearly
interest on the bonds would require
l levy of one and one-half mil's on
i.ich dollar of assessed valuation. A
levy so small as this would scarcely
ie lelt. As the ayeaajje residence
noperty in North Platte has an
i!-ess(.d valuation of $300, the ex
;ra tax on s-uch a property would
Ot: but forty-five cents a year. The
'ucreased taxes of the average
.inner under our irrigation ditches
.vould not exceed tilty cents a year
mkI the fanner in the hills would
ray less than that sum.
On motion a committee consist
MUr ol J. O. Heeler, 10. H. Warner,
0. O Wilcox. M. C. Harrington
i mi lr:i L. Hare were appointed to
.'nfer with the county commix
i"iiers in regard to calling the
-pecial election Tins committee
held a conference with the commis
sioners Saturday forenoon, but as
Commissioner Kelleher was absent
the malar was taken under advise
ment, and the commissioners will
make reply the latter part of this
eek.
When the election is called the
I'mpiisition will be discussed fully,
and in such a manner that every
voter cm vote intelligent!' on the
question.

THE TRAMP GROCERY,

Wc notice an article in the Goth
enburg Independent which states
that some of the tanners in that
vicinity are opposed to the system
of rural free delivery on account of
the extra expense to the govern
ment.
The fact is, in our opinion, that
they arc opposed to rural delivery
because, after it is established,
they will have less excuse to ga to
town and loaf. Wc will bet all
our old clothes that not one ot
these farmers has made a snccens
of life, that his fields are full ol
weeds and his machinery rusting
in the fence, corners, that he has
not done six months' steady work
in any one year, that his crops have
failed from neglect and that he en
joys nothing so much as to stand
on the street comer and loat nud
damn the government.
Such people refuse to assist in
any legitimate public enterprise
and become easy victims of light
ning rod sharks and swindlers.
They would refuse to buy good
dollars at lifty cents each but would
organise a company of farmers and
pay $3,000.00 for a" $.250 00 stallion,
they listen to the smooth talk of
the creamery promotor and pay
$4,000.00 for a creamery that ought
legitimately to have been built for
$1500,00. they organize an irriga
tion district fur the putpobc of
catching suckers and swindling
them and each oilier, and when
they find that lluv have only suc
ceeded in cheating themselves they
grum'Me about the increased taxes
and blame the irrigation law. We
are glad we have no such farmers
in Lincoln count v.
Gothenburg needs a fool killer
more than anv place we know.

BETWEEN THE "RIVERS.
W. A. Paxton shipped three car
iads ot fat cattle trom 1iij ranch in

The Methodist church at Ibrshey
is being repaired by F. C. Calla
way. Several beet raisers will make
efforts to secure foreigners to culti
vate their beet crop.
The snow ttorm of Saturday and
the following cold weather did not
seriously effect stock in this section,
as nearly all those having cattle
have good shelter and plenty ot
feed for them. The snow will
moisten the ground and thus prove
beneficial to crops.
W. T. Miller, who has resided on
a P.txton farm in the vallev for the
past four or liveycars and last year
purchased what is known as the
old Tom Stimson farm of J. K.
White will take possession ot it the
first of March. At the time Mr.
Miller purchased the farm IX B.
White had leased it for last season
and so remained there, tint will
vacate it on March first.
The voting of bonds in the county
to erect a new emit Iiouhb seems
to be the leading qtustion among
the tax-payers in this section.

Coal rustling is receiving much
ituntioii of iate, on the part of the
U. P. officials. A good joke on
'he detectives is reported as
lappening ne day last week. It
v.-ih quite dai k when the sharp-
yed watchers detected a man
tossing the tracks with a Kick on
lis back. He was detained and
aken to the depot, where his sack
vas opened. It was found to con
lain not coal but clothes dirty
..lothes, which he was taking home
io wash lor one of Im customers.

iiough money to piece together

The citizens of Not folk resent
he idea that they are about to hold
i mass convention at Omaha to
irotest against the retention of tin
ariff on sugar, because the Ox
n.irds happen to be asking for such
etention. They Hay, in the first
dace, that it a meeting were to be
ield it would be he'd in Norfolk,
it Omaha, and secondly, that they
ire not as dissatisfied as repre
sented with the prices paid by the
ugar feclory for beets. The News
-hows that a given number of
armers received lor their last
year's crop prices ranging, accord
ing to ha:ehairine purity, from
?l 45 to ( 25 a ton. It is made cer
tain that the beet growers of Nor
folk are not going to appear in op
position to the Oxuards in their
.'florts to prevent the free admis
sion of Cuban sugar.
