Saving to the People. Rv reason of the nctB nassed by the republican legislature of 1907, it is estimated by the railway commission that tho act reducing tho rates on grain has saved to the peoplo of the state, on shipments beginning and terminating in Nebraska, more than $2,600,000 In one year; on the two-cent passenger fare bill the savings to tho people of tho state is estimated by the railway commission to bo more than $3,000,000 a year; the twenty-five per cent reduction in express rates, it is estimated by the railway commission, has saved to tho people of tho state, in one year, more than $400,000.

He was found west of tho ice houses, whither ho had gone for tho purpose of jumping a west bound freight tmin. Ho was arrested and returned to jail.

The local lodge of Elks have made arrangements with George Nunn, an old-time minstrel and who is highly recommended by-AI U. Meld nnd other well known actors, to put on a minstrel show at The Keith on the evening on November 5th. Mr. Nunn brings with him all the stage accessories and cos tumes and the talent will be taken from members of the lodge and others. Elk lodges throughout the country highly endorse Mr. Nunn's productions, and it is believed that with tho talent at hand in North Platte he can present a program that will prove all that can be desired by attendants. Mr. Nunn will arrive in town a couple of weeks in advance of the date of the production; Union Pacific Gilt Edged Notwithstanding two cent fare laws ower freight rates and interstate com merce commission meddling with rail roads in the west the Union Pacific still holds a high placo on the New York stock market and is sought by investors because of its dividend earn ing capacity. The Now York Journal of Commorciel, a paper dealing with commerciel news exclusively, has this to say ot the union racillc, the com parisons being made with August one year ago: "Union I'acihc s gross dur- ing ivuguBt leiiou oniyi.uuu per oiem, whereas operating expenses for the month were reduced by the huge total of $750,000. There was of course tho now customary increase in taxes, yet tho net revenue showed nn increase of $081,000 a truly remarkable achieve ment. Those Schopl Bonds. "You can say to your readers." re marked Secretary Tramp of the board of education yesterday, "that tho proposition to vote bonds for now school houses in the Second and Third wards will be submitted to tho voters of tho district the lattor part of No vember." One reason for the delay in submitting tho proposition is that tho committee has been looking up.tho matter of the disposition of tho bonds when voted; whether a four per cent bond could be sold at par or at a premium. It was also thought best to wait until after the general election so as to know whether tho amendment to tho state constitution permitting tho state to purchase school district bonds is adopted, in which case four per cent bonds could no doubt be easily sold to the state at par or perhaps at a premium. By holding the election next month there will bo ample time to have tho bonds registered and sold, tho contract let and the buildings erected before tho opening of school in tho fall of next year. We believe that tho people of tho dis trict concede the need of additional school accommodations and that tho bonds will carry almost unanimously. Can We Keep From Having Fires? We think wo are careful, and some times wo are, but neverless a fire will break out once and awhile when we least expect it. You can't prevent fires, but you can insure against them so when you have one tho insurance company stands tho loss, not you. In order to accomplish this you must insure with reliable agents and com panies. Temple Real Estato & Insur ance Agency represents tho boat. 1 hnd 2 MbDonuld Block. ' LOCAL MENTION.

Canadian wheat was wanted this side the line, and then tho country becamo suddenly aware of n duty of 25 cents a bushel on wheat. There were instant demands for a repeal of the uuty, nnd had the wheat shortage con tinued long enough tho matter would have gotten into politics.
