Can We Keep From Having Fires?
We think we are careful, and some
times wo are, but noverless a fire will
break out once and awhile when we
least expect it.

insure against them so when you have
one the insurance company stands the

A Simply Story.
A simple story straightforwardly
told Is "Tho Volunteer OrganlBt,"
from the pen of Wm. B. Gray, which
is announced for the Keith theatre to
morrow evening. Indeed it is very
near a classic in its humble way. Rarely
has the dramatist introduced tho clergy
man Into his pluy with such freedom
from offense as in this instance.
A most Impressive scene in tho play
is the representation of a church in
terior and thu introduction of a sur-
pliced choir composed of sweet-voiced
boys who render "The Holy City" nnd
other gems of this class. Tho reclaim
ing of a fallen man is tho noblo theme
of the play and it isdeliclously handled.
A beautiful love story runs throughout
that arouses even the cynical and
brings us back to our youth again.
Had a Close Call.
Mrs. Adu L. Croom, tho well known
Si
ronrietor of the Croom Hotel, Vaughn.
lies., savs: "For several months I Buf
fered with a severe cougn, ana con
sumption Beemed to have its grip on me,
when a friend recommended Dr. Kine's
New Discovery. I began taking it, and
three bottles affected a comnletocure."

North Platte as a Railroad Town.
To just what extent North Platte is
dependent upon the Union Pacific poy
roll is evidenced by a census recently
taken by tho company which shows
that ono thousand eight hundred and
ninety-seven people or more than ono
thlrd of our population aro directly
dependent upon the earnings received
from the company. This illustrates
better than anything else could, tho
valuo of tho Union Pacific to North
Platto; that without the company pay
roll this thriving city would only b an
inconsequential village. Tkc away
the 1,897 people who livo through the
medium of the Union Pacific pay-roll
nnd necessarily thero woul-1 bo at least
nnr-thlrd less business houses and ono
third less clerks and other employes. In
fact it may bo said that tho Union
Pacific interests in North Platte sustains
one-half of our population.
In Omaha the number of people
dependent unon the Union Pacific is
9,930, in Denver 4,374. in Council Bluffs
2,283, in Cheycnno 2,830 and in Grand
Island 1,617.
McConnell Complains to Commission.
From tho Omaha Bee it is learned
that John McConnell, of Somerset, this
county, has written to the state rail
road commission complaining that
the locomotives on the Burlington have
caused numerous fires in tho
Somerset section, and unless relief is
had a vigilance committee will bo or
ganized and something "will bo doing".
Mr. McConnell says four or five fires a
day is nothing unusual. He intended
to come to North Platto last Friday
to hear Tnft speak, but was afraid to
leave home less during his absence he
would be burned out, and he is required
to stand guard, as it wero, over his
property. Ho writes that thousand of
acres have been burned ovor nnd cnttle
arc without pasturage. The railroad,
Mr. McConnell sayB, is slow to tako
any measure to abate tho sotting out of
fires by their locomotives. The com
mission will investigate tho charges
made by McConnell.
New Methodist Pastor.
Rev. W. S. Porter, who has been ap
pointed pastor of tho Methodist church
of this city, will arrivo in timo to hold
regular services noxt Sunday. Rev.
Porter during the past year has been
stationed at Holbrook, coming to Ne
braska from tho Central Illinois con
ference. Ho is a man abont thirty-fivo
years of ago, and is endorsed as a
strong and earnest worker by District
Supt. Wilson, of the Holdrcgo district.
Neville Will Join the Benedicts.
Cards bearing the following inscrip
tion were received in town Saturday:

but twenty-four one hundredths of an
inch, making it the driest September,
