The Wild West Show exhibited in Omaha yesterday, and the News i-peaks of Coljifel Cody as IoIIowf: If "Buffalo Bill" had been the herotf Mauili, and had just re turned to his own land, he could not have been given a great. r ova tion than he received this morning, The moment he arose this morn ing he waB called on to hold an in formal reception for the scores of old friends, lie has in Omaha, friends whom he made years ao when his career was on the plains instead of between the four canvass walls of his great Wild West show. From breakfast time until he bade them a hasty farewell to take his place at the head of the parade, he mingled with old comrades in arms and admirers by the hundreds, Count John A, Creighton and a number of other equally prominent Omahaiis were among those who greeted him, SAVINGS. SOMERSET livery tanner and stockman in this fccclion U bwt-y putting up hay. Mrp.'P. O. Mulliken will leave in a few d.iys lor a visit witli friends in Fillino e county. G.-orge Grilli.h went to South Omaha Sunday morning with a car of cattle, O. C. Mulliken is erecting a new house on his farm. It is reported that 12.1 Willerton and Miss Ida Smith were recently marrii.U, but we can't vouch lor the correctness of the rumor. Will the Nightmare be Dissipated? Elsewhere in these columns will be found the gist of a conver sation with Master Mechanic Bar num. Some who read it will consider it a "bluff" on the part of that official, others will prob ably accept it as true. The re moval of the machines from the shop is accepted by some to mean that a better class of machinery is to be installed; others antici pate a reduction of force due to the new shops at Omaha, where with improved machinery work can be performed much cheaper than at this point. The article is published in these columns as a matter of news without recom mendation as to rejection or ac ceptance by the reader. While a wholesale reduction in the shop force would be regretted by the people of North Platte and for a time materially effect the business interests of the town, it would dissipate a night marc that has for years hung over the city. This nightmare has been the constant reports that the shops were to be re moved or else, as now reported as proposed, a wholesale reduc tion of the force. These reports have ever had a disiiuiettngcffcct on business; they have done more to impede the material progress of the town than any other matter. Time and time again building and other enterprises have been mapped out, when one of these rumors would start from some source, and the contemplated im provements would be 'deferred or else wholly abandoned 0v-' ing to these reports, which at times seemed well authenticated, merchants never knew "where they were at;M it was impossible for "them to guage the buying of stocks, they knew not to what extent they could safely extend credit. Real estate values were effected and unsteady and a gen eral lack of confidence in the town existed. If, therefore, the shop force is curtailed and kept at that figure we will, as citizens and business men, know what to depend upon and can make ar rangements accordingly. The nightmare will vanish. Tun Thiuunu editor has al ways believed that the business men of North Platte have laid too much dependence upon the shop pay roll and neglected the , . . . j- . . . , cniuvation oi uio country nine and the encouragement of agri cultural and slock interests, which if praperly cared for wou'd amount to many times the pay roll, ir the proper cllorts arc made the 1400 acres of sugar beets in Lincoln county this year which will produce $75,000 can be increased to 3,000 or 4,000 next year and 5,000 the following year. And this increase will be followed by the erection of sugar factory. The thousands of tons of alfalfa raised can he increased many times, the dairy interests, wliich are so rapidly becoming an important factor m the wealth of this country can be multiplied, the hay and stock in terests can be expanded, in fact there arc many things which if given the proper encouragement can be made to double the volume of business in North Platte. Whether or not the shop force is reduced, let us in the future pay more" attention to the re sources which lay before us and are undeveloped; lotus strike to make two blades ot grass grow where but one has grown before.
