Mr. Edmistcn, who for n year past
has been engaged In tho real cstato
business in North Platto and hns mado

federal court nt Omalin Saturday to a
conspiracy to defraud tho government
in Thomas county land deals nnd was
sentenced to pay a fine of one thousand
dollars and servo four mouths in tho
county jnU In this city.
Mr. Edmistcn, who was formerly
stato oil inspector nud nt. ono timo
chairman of the populist Btato central
committee, was indicted by tho federal
grand jury in Omaha June 4, 1900, on
threo counts of perjury, subornation of

1900, of forgery in seeking to defraud
the government out of use, titlo and
5
,)ossesslnn to large tracts of land in tho
orth Plntto land district.
Tho case was called on trial February

penr and his bond of $5,000 wns declared
forfeited. On April 3, of tho samo year,
on motion of his attorneys, and on
proper showing tho order of February
24. forfeiting his bond, was vacated.
Tho trial was set for somo months
nter, but tho defendant was unablo to
appear on account of illness nnd tho
case had been continued up to tho pres
ent time.
Mr. Edmistcn was in court with his
attorneys, W. S. Snmmer, of Omaha,
and E. B. Strode of Lincoln. Both at
torneys mado an earnest plea for a
light sentenco in view of the long pub
lic scrvico of the defendant and his
hitherto good charade".
Upon tho request of tho attorneys
for tho defendant, n stay of execution
Was granted until Dec. 1, to onnblo tho
defendant to arrange his affairs prior
to entering upon his term of imprison
ment. Tho Lincoln county jail was
selected as being tho present homo of
tho defendant. The plea of guilty was
mado upon ono indictment for conspir-
acy tho other indictments for perjury,
subornntion of perjury and forgery be
ing dismissed by tho United States
district attorney.
Sunshjne Society Notes.
Nolti Platto Sunshine, Branch No. 1
met ut tho home of Mrs. James Snyder
November 20th. 1908. There wero thir
ty Indies present nnd tho afternoon Was
spent in sewing for a family which was
burned out. Thirty-threo garments,
six pair of stockings and a pair of baby
shoes wero given to this needy family.
Miss Annio Kramp proved her sun-
shinoness by donating two now uits of
underwear, which wero readily nnd
quickly disposed of.
Tho Baptist ladies wero real Sun-
shiners, making dresses and giving
them to a family in need.
Tho young people held a Sunshlno

Thursday evening. Refreshments were
served nnd a collection, amounting to
two dollars was taken, nnd turned over
to the Sunshini Society.
Mrs. Mnry Lowe contributed ronding
matter for tho Rest Rooms and in this
way scattered sunshine for others.
Wo desiro to extend thnnks to Mrs.
Brown for a quilt and to Mrs. Dugnn
for a comfort, both of which wore giv
en away, und for their cheerful willing
ness to scatter BUnshino in every direc
tion.
Tho mito box in Mrs. Jonnio Arm -
strong's restaurant collected $2 50; tho
responso from the patrons of tho rest
aurant was generous,' stimulated as they
woro by tho representations of tho pro
prietor regarding tho homo. Tho pro
ceeds show what Bympathy tho pooplo
have for tho blind babies.
Will somo good sunshinor donato a
table or stand to hold magazines for
tho rest rooms, which Mr. Trump has
kindly offered for Sunshine head
quarters. Please telephone No.fiU.
A mite box tor tho blind bnuioB has
been placed in tho rest rooms. Though
tho mito box scorns at llrst glnnco an
insignificant thing, yet it plays an im
portant role in this little drama of
finance.
SunBhino desires to express their
thanks to tho editor of The Tribune for
thu boundless courtesies extended to
them through tho press, and to Tho
Telegraph for its notices.
Sunshino knows nothing of selfish
ness, it has no joalousy of others, and
it is nut a competitor.
