The beet harvest is now in progress

Messrs. Chan. McDonald, J. B. Mc

and quality of the apples. There aro
3,600 trees and tho branches of each
treo are breaking under the weight of
the fruit. Tho npples nro entirely free"
from blemish, and nvcrage up better
than those in fruit sections that havo
a world-wide reputation. This year's
crop, Mr. Hunter says, is tho best he
has ever grown, not only in yield but

proceeds tho total yield seems to in
crease, nnd Mr. Hunter now estimates
the crop nt twelvo thousand bushels.

on the corner of Locust and Front
streets was sold to E. A. Gary for $2,
&00. Mrs. Halwin paid $1500 for tho

tho site.
Tho W. J. Patterson property on tho
the corner of Sixth and Pino, east of
tho LoM asters' huilding, has boon pur
chased by Saml. Goozco for $5,000. Ho

erect a 22x100 foot uddition to his gar
ago. Tho third property sold was tho

by Broeker, the tailor, and the pur

Missouri, all the unsold city block in
Plnttview Subdivision and all of tho
unsold ncrengo tracts in Tabor's Sub
divinion south of the B. & M. for a
consideration of $10,594.50. This sale
includes nil tho property formerly be
longing to Roy IK Tabor, Trustee, ox
ccpt the unsold residohco lots in thn
Trustee's nnd Riverdale Additions. It
was quite an important salo for tho
bankrupt estate, because it closes out.
all of the acreago property which was
unsold prior to this time. For the
present Mr. Ren does not expect to dis
pose of tho property, altho no will re
ceive propositions thrpugh Wm. E. Shu
man for the salo of anv of tho blocks to
anyone who might care to purchase tho
same. It is Judge Rca's intention lnt r
to improve tho property to some ex
tent and place it upon tho market. Ho
probably will locate in North Platte
next spring and improve and sell this
lanaf.s ucrenge tjractn.
Seems to Have Struck it Rich.
C. F. Scharmann, of Omaha, former
ly of this city, was in town Saturday
enrouto to Battlo Mountnin, Nov., on
business ronnected with a gold mine in
which ho is interested and which bids
fair to mako him a millionaire. Ore
nssayed from th's mine has run from
$10,000 to $180,000 gold per ton, nnd
the vein seems to be growing richor nB
tho development work extends down
ward, and the vein is of such extent ns
to lead to the prcdicMon that it will
prove tho richest mine tho world has
ever known. While in town Mr. Schar
mnnn received a message from Omahn
stating that the quartz had developed
into almost solid gold, and that in rich
ness nothing like it has ever been
known. Mr. Scharmann owns one
thirtieth interest in the nronertv of
30,000 of the 900,000 shnres and tho
shares cost him about $3,000. If the
property is one-tenth as good as it
now Bhows, it is worth millions of
dollars.
Will Hold Chautauqua Next Year.
About half the stockholders of the
Chautauqua association were present
at tne meeting held at tho court house
Friday evening, and it was tho unani
mous opinion of those present that a
Chautauqua Bhould he held in 1910.
While there was considerable of a def
icit last year and an assessment on the
stockholders was necessary, yet those
stockholders present thought that the
good accomplished by tho Chautauqua
was worth all it cost. It was also con
ceded that tho attendance next year
would bo larger, and that it would be
possible to dispose of 600 or 800 season
tickets, whereas onjy 100 were told
last season.

of tho 1910 assembly will nt once bo
taken up.

day for tho Presbyterian congregation
in North Platte. Tho rally spirit was
in the air and the congregation packed
the church at each service.
At the morning hour a fine program,
carefully prepared under tho loader

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.

some part ot this impure matter is left
in the blood. This brings on many dis
