Memorial Day.
Memorial Day was1 fittingly otaerved
In North Platto yesterday by almost a
complete cessation of business and by
services appropriate to tho day. In tho
mornmg detachments of tho G. A. R.
and the W. R. C. visited both ceme
teries and strewed flowers on the graves
of the soldier dead, and at tho city
cemetery performed tho ritualistic ser
vico over the grave of the last comrade
buried.
In the afternoon a large audience
gathered nt tho Keith theatre and lis
tened to n strong address delivered by
Rev. Chamberlain. Other numbers on
the program wero recitations by Myrtle
Bcclcr and Irma Huffman and a solo
, by Mrs. Dunlnp. There was a good at
tendance of old soldiers at this service.
but each aucceed'isg year tho number
grows less, tho ranks are thinning; they
are responding to the last revllle.
At the Mcpherson national cemetery
thore was the usual large attendance.
Over 250 carriages and other vehicles
wero counted in addition to about forty
automobiles. At this service Capt.
Evans, of this city, presided as chair
man, and the address of welcomo was
made by Mr.. Ingles, superintendent of
the cemetery. Other speakers wero
Supt. Ebright and Rev. Harman. Music
was furnished by young girls of the
neighborhood. Each of tho 800 graves
was decorated with e flag and with
flowers, tho latter being supplied by
the W. R. C. of the state. Tho day
was on ideal ono nnd it was pleasantly
and interestingly spent. A large num
ber of North Platte people attended
these services.
Memorial Services.
Union memorial services wero held
at tho Keith theatre Sunday evening,
an audience that filled the floor and
part of tho gallery attending. In
these services all the protestant
churches united, and Reverends Porter,
Favoright, Chapman, Williams, John
son and Harman took some part in the
program. The sermon was delivered
by Rev. Geo. F Williams, who took as
his theme "Tho Gentle yet Masterful
Christ." Tho subject was treated in a
manner that brought many compli
ments, one of the ministers present
pronouncing it a ""masterly effort."
To The Citizens of North' Platte.
The Public Library Board is very
desirous of securing the co-operation of
the citizens of North Platte in the
project which means so much to the
city. It isn't possible to estimate in
dollars and cents the value of a public
library to any town. Wo can give the
value of any building and the site but
of the far reaching influence which a
free public library exerts on any
community no estimate can be made.
North Platte has always been liberal
in its reponse to appeals for pro
jects which would of material benefit
and it is hoped they will bo equally
generous iu their response to this
appeal.
Mr. Andrew Carnegio has agreed to
furnish $12,000.00 for a public library
building if the city will furnish a site
and provide a fund for the maintenance
of the library of at least $1,200.00 a
year. The laws of tho State of Ne
braska solvd the problem of the
maintenance of a free public library by
empowering tho council to levy a tax
of two mills for this purpose. This
levy has been made. It is estimated
that it will raise $1,500.00. It will not
prove burdensome to any taxpayer,
being only fifty cents on each $1,000.00
of assessed valuation. We can certainly
all afford to pay this much in support
of a project which will bo of a in
estimable benefit to the youth of North
Platte.
Two objections have been raised to
the project. The first one that if tho
council should fail to make the levy
some year there would bo no funds to
support it and then not only the build
ing would revert to Mr. Carnegie but
tho site given by the citizens would also
become his property. This is not so.
There is no string tied to Mr. Carne
gie's gift and consequently no reversion.
Another objection is that the building
of this library will interfere with the
work of tho Y. M. C. A. and its new
building. The writer has interviewed
tho secretary of tho Y. M. C. A,, in
regard to this matter and he Btates
that ho does not think there are any
grounds for this objection. The members
of tho Library Board are thoroughly in
sympathy with tho Y. M. C. A. and
its purposes and are all prepared to
lend their assistance when the building
project is launched.
Tho Board is endeavoring to secure
a site which will be as central for all
the city as possible. This site must be
paid for by the citizens of North Platte.
The Board rather judged from tho
amount of most of the bids which were
submitted that it was thought Mr,
Carnegie was to pay for tho site. The
Board thoroughly appreciates tho pub
lie spirit shown by Mr. M. Keith
Neville in offering to them free any
lot in Block 1G8 for a site.
Any member of tho Board will bo
glad to furnish any information in his
possession in regard to this project.

usually charged on such occasions.
We believe that citizens generally
feci that in erecting this hotel Mr.

a banquot attended by represtative cit

Looks Suspicious.
T. M. Hainline, the laundoror, is in
roceiut of a letter from Madrid, Spain,
which is an old scheme to fleece him
out of a large sum of money, though
the writer proposes to give a big re
ward for services doue. Enclosed was
a clipping of a newspaper telling of
arrest of a St. Petersburg banker
charged with fraud and manslaughter
in Spain. It also relates that the
banker escaped with five million rubles
which had not been located. Tho letter
purports to be from tho banker who
signs his namo Demodoff and says ho
knows Mr. Hainllno only from good
references of his honesty. Then he
pleads, for the sako of his only daugh
ter, that he bo given assistance in
raising $180,000 to be used in paying
the. expenses of his trial and securing
his baggage. For this service he" claim's
he will give one-third of a fortune of
5.000,000 rubles which he will bo
enabled to get from a document which
is hidden in a secret pocket' in his
baggage.
This is not the first lottor of tho kind
received in this city, nnd it has every
appearance of an old timo scheme of
defrauding. Grand Island Independent.
