There arc BoojIck In Town.
The Modern and Optimistic Or
der of Boostcra is the latest irater
nal orcantzation in North Platte,
and its birth occurred on Friday
evening of laBt week. The organi
sation is purely local, and the ob
ject, at the name suggc'itF, ia to
"boost;" that is, ever member
obliges himselt to do all in IiIb
power to advance the material in
terests of North PJatte and Lincoln
county. Several hundred men
workiujr collectively can accomplish
Immeasurably more than a like
number working individually, and
the principal object ot the Order of
Boosters is to get the people of the
city and county to all pull one way
On matters which are for the great
est good to the greatest number.
Another purpose of the organiza
tion is to teach all the necessity of
epcaking a pood word for the town
and county instead of speaking
discouragingly. In other word to
"boost" instead cf "knocking."
The Order of Boosters is by no
means a farce. Its promoters are
men who are vitally interested in
thu welfare ot Lincojn county, and
there is no question in the mind of
this writer but that it will prove a
most important factor in increasing
the commercial, agricultural and
live Mock interests of the county.
At the initial meeting Friday
evening the members admitted
were composed mainly of thodc who
in one way or another had brought
about the perfecting ot the order.
The ritual used in the initiatory
ceremony is purely original, yet
this writer, who has taken the
work ui five tratcmal orderp, has
no hesitency in pronouncing it, as
a whole, superior to any he has
oecu. its JessoiiB are impressive,
and the lectures are clothed in lan-
gunge that has a pleasing orator
ical effect. The absence ot "librae
play" ib very noticeable.
A large number of voluntary
applications for membership
arc already on' ' file,' and it
is confidently bclleyed that the
order will have several hundred
members within the next few
months. The membership fee is
one dollar, which sum will probably
cover all costs, of membership, the
object being to collect only what is
nccesssary to pay hall rent, pur
chase a small amount of stationery
and pay for the limited amount of
paraphanalia actually necessary.
As the initiatory work is some
what lengthy; there ' bejng two
degrees!, only ten or twelve can be
initiated at a meeting. For the
present meetings for the admission
pf members will be held weekly.
Membership , application blanks
may be secured 0 J. B. McTJbnnld
or 13. F. Seeberger. Rvery male
resident of the county who has at-
atined lawful,. age h elidible to
membership.
'Caught in( the Web,"
, Detective stories hayc always
lilid a peculiar fascination for all
ages.- The young are always in
terested on account of the darintr.
dashing bravery of the central
figure In all of these talcs; the boys
anil girl whVA'ie reached the ref

on account bt the love episodes
which crojvoitt in all these stories,
and those of a maturer age are
spellbound qu account of the work
ing otit of intricate problems. The
main rcaeou why they appeal to
strongly to all clasbcs is because
they tell natural stories. It is for
this reason that Joseph LcBrnn.dt's
