Support Needed.
Ono of tho conditions upon which
tho Junior Normal was located at
North Platte this yoar was that the
citizons, by purchasing tickets, should
bear the expense of tho entertainment
course. To pay for this courso will re
quio about $250, which means the sale
of that number of tickots. Thoso
tickets havo been placed at such a low
price that, considering tho quality of
the fivo attractions, thoro really should
bo no troublo in disposing of them.
Wo learn, however, that tho tickets
aro not mooting with tho ready salo
that they should, and Co. Supt. Ebright
and tho committeo feol somewhat disappointed.
Wo bcliovo that our peoplo should
rally to tho support of tho normal and
"make good" the guarantee made to
Supt. McBricn that tho expenso of tho
entertainment course would bo met by
tho peoplo of North Platto. Tho first
number of the courso will bo held at
the high school auditorium this evening
on which occasion A. L. Bixby will do
liver a lecture.
Tom Horn has closed out his panta
torium and will leave town, Omaha be
ing his objective point.
Miss Fenha Bcelcr who is n student
at the Northwestern university at Ev

The George land contest case, which
began , the latter part .of .last wqek, 'is
still dragging along at tho Oqitcd
States land office, and may' possibly run
over into next week.
r Nathan Post, formerly of this city,
but now un onsign on the battleship
Louisiann, passed through yesterday
enrouto to Chicago to visit his par
ents. Fred Pierson, who is down from
Sutherland today, says thrco inches of
rain fell at that place laBt evening.
There was not enough hail to do any
particular damage to vegetation..
Miss Harriet Jones, of Kearney, in
structor of operators for tho Bell tele
phone company, is in town instructing
the "hello girls" of the local ofilco in
tho methods of giving patrons tho best ,
possible Bervico.
Senator Brown succeeded in getting
tho appropriation 'for the Kearney fed
eral builiding raised from $80,000 to $115,
000. If Kearney needs a postoffico build
ing costing $115,000, North Platto with
its postofllce, land office, weather bureau i
and federal court ought to bo entitled
to one costing $250,000.
Another very heavy rain fell last
evening, accompanied by considerable
hail which, however, was not severe
enough to do any damage to vegetation
in this immcdiato vicinity. Tho hail is
reported to havo been heavier both
north and west of town and in Dawson
county it was very heavy.
In the faco of an exceptionally heavy
rain, several hundred peoplo assembled
at the opera houso last evening to sco
Mrs. Fisko and her company in "Ros
mcrsholm," a dramatization of ono of
Ibsen'B strongest novels. Very unfor
tunately for the audience, a good part
of the first act was lost through the
rain and hail which descondod with a
clattor on thoroof and the words of
the actors were not heard by those in
tho center nnd rear of tho house,
and in other portions of tho play tho
words of the star were Bpoken so low
that it was with difficulty the thread of
tho story could bo followed. Perhaps
this was duo to Mrs. Fisko's lack of
appreciation of tho faulty accoustic
properties of tho hall. But notwith
standing these inconveniences to the
audience, the play was much enjoyed,
and tho work of tho great actress wns
not disappointing to even thoso who
had expected something much out of
tho ordinary for North Platte. Tho
emotional features and tho play is
one of many emotional situations
wero taken by. Mrs. Fisko with such
naturalness as to excite much ndmir-
ation, and her every msvo on tho stage
was so dilierent irom those wo are ac
customed to Bceinc that her actions
alone wore interesting. In his emotion
al parts, Kosmer was strong, and both
, had excellent support. ,
Make Application for Demonstration.
Congress having made an appropria
tion, for demonstrations in good road
making, Dr. Ames, with his character
istic hustle, wrote Congressman Kin
kaid asking that he sccuro such a dem
onstration for Lincoln countv. Judge
Kinkaid has replied, stating that he
had visited the department having this
matter in charge and urged that such
demonstration be made in Lincoln
county, and at the same time suggested
that tho Commercial Club of this city
make a formal application for tho work
to bo done.
O. H. Thoelecke who is a member of
tho road committee of tho club, made
out the application yestorday and sent. it
to Washington. There are thousands pf
applications for theso demonstrations,
and as the appropriation iB.npt large,
many of the applications will necessari
ly be turned down, so it is not certain
that such domonstrntlon will be made
in this county, but wb'will bo'on tho
"waiting list" for next year and this
.will be at) '.advantage. Judgo Kinkaid
said that if a demonstration is not
made, it is probablo that a lecturer will
bo sent hero to address our peoplo on
tho subject of good roads.
