Gothenburg Defeats North Platte.
Ten or a dozen North Platto trap

when away from hjjme, nnd instead of
scoring from eighty to ninety-livo
points as they usually do at the homo

company with Sheriff Miltonborger
drove to Deer Creek precinct, where
they obtained possession of Ellis Brit-
tingham, a two year old nephew of Mr.
Morris, who it was claimed was being

man. Tne child is a son of a lirltting
ham who a couple of years ago was killed

prepared and would have been served
had the mother objected to tho relin
quishment of the child. .

F0R THE NEW COURT HOUSE.
Article No. 6.
Ono of tho now features that aro
being incorporated into tho mnny new
modern court houses that have been
built in, Nebraska during the past ten
years is the public rest rooms, whero
tho fnrmers and tho furmor's wlfo and
children, when they come to tho county
sent on business or pleasure find
pleasant rooms neatly furnished with
easy chairs and provided with heat and
light and toilet facilities. These samo
rooms also como in very handy when
court js in session as rest rooms for
tho witnesses, litigantB nnd jurymen.
Whorover such rooms aro provided
they aro a groat blossing to tho general
public.
Sometimes bucIi rooms havo been
provided nnd maintained by private
subscription, as has been done in North
Platto in times past, but such impro
vised rooms do not answer tho purpose,
being inadequate, and besides the
average farmer feels too independent
to accept of charity.
With tho public rest room in the
county court houso, bolonging as it
does to tho tax payers, the farmer ac
cepts of its hospitality as n matter of
right.
Tho tenativo plan for tho now court
houso provides for a large public rest
room 38 x 47, with nursery for women
and 13 x 17, and a smoking room for
men 16 x 35, with toilot facilities for
m
men nna ior women nnu children sep
arate And in any plan thnt may bo
adopted by tho county .commissioners
similar arrangements will bo made.
These features alone will be ample
rccompenso for any additional tax that
any resident tax payor may bo culled
upon to pay for tho now court houso.
And your committeo aro unable to
see how any public spirited citizen of
North Platte, who pretenda to bo
friend of tho farmer, could doprlvo the
