Secretary Slieop.trd visited the
Denver Railroad Y M. C. A. last
Monday, reluming to his work
here on Tuesday morning with re
n .nvt-d zeal. A membership of 400

surely bring this about.

V. C. T. U. NOTES.
Our union is steadily gaining in
numbers and interest. Our last
meeting was held with Mrs. Hart
man and was well attended. We
solicit the membership of all
interested in temperance.
The union temperance meeting
last Sunday eyeniug was a yery
successful one. Mr. Getty's re
marks were good and to the point.
Brother Wimberly gave an enthusi
astic and interesting address and
the music by the Presbyterian
choir was enjoyed by the audience.
The meetings, we believe, are
arousing people along temperance
lines.
Mrs. Barton expects to go from
our union to the annual executive
meeting of the state at Lincoln,
April 2'Jth and 30th.
Plans are being made to organize

good way to educate the public.
Our union expects to take up the

The Sugar Bed Acreage
Dr. II S. Fcrrar, resident mana
ger of the Grand Island sugar fac
tory, spent part o' yesterday in
town and made this olhcc a brief
call. The Doctor informed us that
the total acreage of sugar beets
contracted for in Lincoln county
now exceeds one thousand acres,
and that there will be about one
hundred and fifty more acres con
tracted for within the next ten
days. The total acreage in the
Maxwell section is now 509. the
other 500 acres being principally in
the neighborhood oi Ilershey aud
Sutherland. Lincoln county, with
an average season, will furnish
one-fourth of all tl.e beets used at
the Grand Island factory.
If this t-casou should prove as
favorable for sugar beets as was
last seat-on, the value of the crop
will reach sevcnty-livo thousand
dollars which is by no means n
small sum. A successful crop this
year meain a doubled or tripled
acreage next year. Last year there
were but eighty. five acres planted
in the Maxwell section, this year
the increase is fi00 percent.
"The Missomi Girl."
The Lincoln Slate Journal has
the following to say of "lMie Mis.
souri Girl," which will be rendered
at the opera house ntxt Monday
evening:
A clean, wholesome and alto,
eelher pleasant play was given be
fore a well filled house at the Oliyer
l.i.t evening. The play has been
running f r some seven years and
in known as "The Missomi Girl."
The first thing observable in the
acting is the apparent unity of all
members t t the cast. They work
well together, produce no discords
and hence succeed in rounding out
the several acts in a most accept
able manner. The scenery is ap
propriate and the whole outfit has
about it an air of prosperity.
Comedy is the principal clement
in the play, chiefly sustained by
S.ulie Raymond as Daisy and Fred
Raymond as Cke, a gawky farmer
lad, Barring the impossible facial
make-up ol Mr. Raymond, both dc
serye great credit for clean and
conscientious work, likewise V. A.
Vatney as Silas Grubb. Gordon
Gray, in the capacity of a young
and gentlemanly villian, is emi
nently satisfactory because ot cer
tain correct touches in acting
quite unusual in the average stage
villian.
"The Missouri Girl" tanks well
with plays of its class. II the aver
age entertainment olfercd to the
public were on a par with this one,
there would be small cause for cen
sure or complaint.

THE HANG OF THE THING
has a great deal to do with what is
called style in fine tailoring and the
hang of a fine Prince Albert, cut
away or sack coat, as well as the fit
and finish, is always perfect when
made by an artistic tailor. When
a man wants to look swell and
correctly dressed he never fails to
be fitted for Ins coat and trousers.
Cleaning nnd repairing a
