South Siders Object to Bond.
Owners of real cstato south of the'
river and included in the school district
of North Platte will probably present ri
petition to the board of education at
tho next meeting asking that tho ter"-
ritnrir Vi ant nnnrt frnm ilirt fltal fr. f--"l
a.waj av. a.w afj.a w viii ttl i v.." . . ,
one object of tho move being to es
cape the taxation brought by the vot
ing of additional bonds for school pur
poses. Should tho board grant tho
petition, it will bo necessary to change
tho duc of the school bond election, as
it is believed that tho territory to bo
set apart could not bo divorced from tho
district after tho bonds had been voted,
This would delay the election about
thirty days.
In recent years the cost of maintain
ing, the south Bide school has been
greater than tho taxes derived from
the territory, and a net loss to tho dis
trict nns occurred, uut unaer tne in
creased assessed value of real cstato
mado last year, the taxes from this
time forward will probably bo in excess
of the cost of maintaining the school.

"Evening in Dixie." and truo to the
name a Dixie dinner was served, a renl
possum being tho piece do resistance,
cooked in truo Southern stylo and ac
companied with sweet potatoes and
corn brend. The dinner proved highly
enjoyable, as were also tho stunts by

-I A Cowboy's Girl.
"A Cowboy's Girl" which is to bo
tho attraction nt the Keith Monday
ovening has proved to bo one of the
strongest attractions on the road and
one of the most universnl satisfaction
givers. Tho play is a beautiful story
of heart interest that runs throughout,
is abundantly supplied with comedy and
tho climaxes aro of groat strength and
intense interest. Every endeavor has
been used to give it tho most careful
production and aB elaborate ntago set
tings as possible without detracting
from tho atmosphero of tho play. Tho
scenes are nil laid on tho border line of
Old Mexico and Texas before tho ad
vent of tho "iron horse," its wire
fence" and civiling influences, when tho
nearest neighbor was a day's ride, and
going to town was r matter of a week
or more. Tne tirst net shows a street
in n typical cattle town with its
saloons, corralls, and the ono hotel, in
whoso bar-room tho noxt net takes
placo. The third act is in tho round-up
camp with its broad expanso of prairie,
unbroken savo for tho chuck wagon and
campfiro of tho cowboys, while tho last
act is a duplicate of an old time rnnch
house, battered by many rains and
burned by countless Buns whoso hoa-
pitablo doors aro always open to the
weary traveller, be ho rich or poor.
