With due recognition of the tnauy successful social functions that have been given iu North Platte in the past, Tin: Tkiuukk pronounces the Twentieth Annual May Party of Division 88, Brotherhood ot Loco motive Engiuecrs, given nt the opera house last 'evening, tue crowning success of them all. Iu point of attendance and superb electrical decorations was this especially true. Never before had such a large crowd of spectators and dancers assembled iu the opera house, and never before had the ball presented such a brilliant appear ance. The result attained was well anted: it was the culmination of lays of active work of b'ain and hand on the part of the arrange ment committee consisting of Messrs. Iloler, Ell, Austin, P. A. Norton and Douglas, aided by the resourceful Fikcs and others. They began the work with one end m view the production of the most elaborate public function ever given in this city. That they attained the coveted goal is unquestioned. Iu pianning the electrical decora tions tnc committee was assisted by Manager Walker of the electric light company and the color f-chemc was most excellent. Extending Irom the center of the ceiling to the galleries on both sides were a dosun colored streamers or arches thickly studded with red, white and blue incandescent bulbs, and iu the cen ter hung a large globe covered with tri-colored bunting and on which were placed nearly one bun dred white lights. The stage had been transposed into a horizontal pyramid made ol black cloth, the front opening of which was the - size of the stage opening. At the farther end of the pyramid w re the letters B. of L. E. made ol white globes, and extending trout t':e opening to the apex were aloo tows of lights. Th iH made a beautiful view, especially from the galleiies. From eight until nine o'clock Hart's orchestra gave a couccrl, and the half dcziii selections wer rendered in such a man tier as to call forth applause. The dance music rendered throughout the evening by thisorgauization proyed highly satisfactory. The grand march was called short ly after nine o'clock, and with Miss Orra Tracy and Master Harry Smith as leaders executed a num ber ot forms, at the conclusion ol which quadrille sets were formed, and from that hour until 3:30 o'clock this morning the twentv- six dances followed each other closely with the exception of the hour taken fur supper at midnight The attendance ot dancers filled the floor rather closely, and more or less jostling resulted, but the par ticipants were in a happy mood and took all interferences very good naturedly. Many handsome gowns were to be seen, flowers were in abundance, and the floor scene was a yery pretty one, Among the attendants were peo pie from Omaha, Cheyenne, Grand Island and Kearney, and from them were heard many complimentary remarks relative to the decratione, the nicety with which everything was conducted and the apparent high social standing of those present. Long will the Twentieth Annua May Party live in the memory of the attendants, and many have been the compliments extended to the members of the committees. To Manager Walker ol the elec trie light company is due much credit for his untiring supervision of the electrical decorations, and the success which wan so creditable, The display he made certainly had a tendency to popularize electric lights, not only for such occasions but tor all lighting purposes. The presentation of "The Tarn ing ot the Shrew" on the evening of the 9th is a theatrical event of which North Platte people sel dom have a chance to witness. The company should be greeted by an audience commensurate with the value of the play and the excellence of the company.

Lawrence Walker, manager for Chan. B. Hanford, is iu town today completing arrangements for the appearance of the company iu this city on the evening of the 9th. North Pl.itte is the only town in which the company appears tc twetti Cheyenne and Omaha. We learn that about one half of the pach trees on Dave Hunters fdriu north of Sutlicilaud were winter killed. Mr. Hunter had the finest peach orclmrd iu Lincoln county and had not such a large p rccntage of the trees been killed, tie would have been able to supply the greater part of the late peaches needed in this market.

Dashing KoystainiJ Pctruchio. Manager Lloyd has given evi dence of his desire to please the best class of theatre-goers in this city by booking Charles B. Han ford iu the scenic revival of "The Taming of the Shrew," which will be seen at the opera liQiise an May ytli. This play is re gardctl by authorities as the most amusing 'qf Shakespeare's com edies. Thpre is no modern farce which equals it in respect to genuine fun- Nearly every line in the play conceals a laugh and every situation is a mine of mer riment. As the dashing, roy stering Petruchio Mr. Hanford has scored, it is stated, the most conspicuous success of his ca reer. The role of Kathcrine will bo portrayed by Helen Orantly, who has already won golden opinions for her portrayal of this character both in Great Britain and in this country . In cluded in tho supporting com pany are Marie Drofnah, lOmma Hayner, William J. Shea, I ving Knight, Roland Gibson, V. A. Nannary, Harold Fiske, Paul Anderson, R. O. Meech, L. W. Browning, John C. Davis and other well known Shakespearian artists. Baker's Perfect Barb Wire, Painted, per hundred $3.80.

It is an agreeable change to turn from the farces of the pres ent day to the immortal comedies of William Shakespeare. Iu the latter class "The Taming of the Shrew" is perhaps the best. Its fun is fast and furious and once seen it is not easily forgotten. There never were a pair of lov ers whose -actions have created as much amusement as Kathcr ine and Potruchio. It is a pleas ure to note that the well known Shakespearian star, Charles B. Hanford, is appearing this sea son in a revival of this delightful old comedy. Mr. Hanford should be admirably suited to the role of Pctrucio. Miss Helen Grantlcy, who is a stranger here but whose fame has nevertheless reached this city, will be seen as Kathcrine. The production will be given at the opera house on Friday evening-, May 9th. A complete scenic revival is prom ised by the management, the James B. Dclcher Company, and the supporting company is said to be one of the .strongest on the road this season. Alfalfa. Cane ana Mil let Seeds for sale by Jos. Hershey, North Platte, Nebraska.

Mcdonald. 1 Chairman Rulgely, of the re publican county central commit tee, is sending out letters to the members of tho committee ad vising them of a meeting of the committee on Mav j 10 to select a date for the county convention. It is probable that the convention will be held on June 7th, ten days ahead of the state convention, and that the necessary delegations to the state, congressional, senatorial and representative district con ventions will be named at that time; and a county attorney also be nominated. This will do away with the necessity of holding two conventions. The nomina- lion oi a county commissioner will probably be made at a con vention to be held at some con venient point in the commissioner district. 15. K.
