Uhe report Is current, and it seems
to be well founded, that a local train
will soon be put on between North

said, will leavo in the morning and
arrive in tho evening, which would not
be much of an advantage, if any, to
people coming to North Platte. A local
train arriving fiom tho west in tho
early forenoon nnd leaving during the
latter part of the afternoon or the early
part of tho evening would on tho other
nana prove a great accommodation to
those coming-here, as If -would givo

CARPETS.
The spring is still young
yet we have already sold
dozens of carpets. We attri
bute the most of these sales
to the low prices we are ask

we can think of is that the
stock is very complete now
and that there is a greater
range ot patterns toselectfrom
than has usually been shown.
But whatever it is we know
that people are more than sat
isfied with our assortment and
