One farmer living in the Hershey section harvested and threshed his oats this week and reported a yield of sixty five bushels to tho acres. That's not bad for a dry year. Judgo Grimes is now living a little nearer heaven ho is having a new and higher foundation placed under his, residence. Other improvements will t include a heating plant. Miss Lizzie Young, who for several months has been employed in the Everly & Co. store at Hershey, returned to town and accepted a has posi tion in Rincker.'s book store.

Brown, Sunday school mis sionary, and family will leave in a few days for Madrid, where they will locate, Mr. Brown having been assigned to regular church work at that place W. M. Baskin was down from hi3 Lo gan county ranch buying supplies prior to beginning the hay harvest. The hay crop, ho says, is very fair except on irround that was. burned over by the o prairie fires. In talking to Mr. Swan and Mr. Ewell regarding tho prospects of the beet crop for this year, they seem to be very much impressed with tho present conditions in our district. Practically nil the beets in this district are now laid by and without anything to re tard tho growth the tonnage should bo large. "Wanted" a crow of men who will con tract to cut, bale from the winrow and haul to the car, one half tho hay pro duced on tho Lamnlugh Ranch, estimated at 125 tons. Will pay a good price for labor performed, providing parties can commence immediately. M. C. Har rington, 1620 19th St. Denver, Color ado." Mrs. Geo. B. Dent entertained the Indian card club Wednesday afternoon assisted by Mrs. Thomas Ilealy, Mrs. M. H. Douglas and Mrs. James Hart. The card tables were arranged on the screened porch and following the games a denic lunch was served. Mrs. Wm. Turpie won tho fork and the consola tion prize was awurded to Mrs. Hart. R. E. Tucker, formerly employed in the grocery department of tho Wilcox store, but now In charge of the boy's department of tho Y. M. C. A. at Po catello, Idaho, left for that place Tues day evening after spending several days at the E. R. Plumer residence. Mr. Tucker was enroute home from Lake Geneva where ho had been attending the Y. M. C. A. convention. - Up to yesterday 558 delegates to the republican stato convention had been elected. Of these 248 were instructed for countv option. 145 were instructed acainst option and 165 were not in structed either way. Included in those Instructed acainst are the ninety-four liletrates from Doucias county. It therefore looks very much as though rnuntv oution plank will bo inserted in the republican state platform. Sentenced to the Pen. Judgo Grimes has sentenced two mo'ro men to the stato penitentiary, where theyvill have time to reflect over their misdoings. Virgil Root, who ploadcd guilty to forging chocks on Julius Pizor was given two years, and Chas. Barnes thojcolored man who en tered tho Wado homo and stole apurso, was given one year. Sheriff Milton- berger will take tho two men to the penitentiary this week. Annual Baptist Meeting. The annual meeting of tho North Piatto Baptist Association will be, held n this city July 26th, 27th and 28th, tho first day's session being an intro ductory evening meeting. Thoro will bo seven or eight speakers from out of town, including Dr. Sutherland, of tho Grand Island college'. A lengthy and interesting program has been prepared for the speakers, and delegates from as far west as Kimball aro expected to be in attendance. Will be Built Within a Year. The Lincoln Stato Journal of Tues day contained the following, -which will be of interest to our readers; Within a year it is expected that connections will have been made by the Burlington between its Guernsey and Cheyenno lines and the central Wyom ing lines now under construction. When that much is finished, and prob ably before that time, work will bo started on the line up the Piatto valley, from Newwark, near Kearney. This plan has never been abandoned. Some heavy construction work is yot to be finished in tho canyon of the Big Horn river south of Thermopolis. Much of the dirt grading is well along to ward completion, and it is expected that considerable track may bo laid this winter. The work would have been farther along if it had not been for scarcity of laborers in that region. The work on the line up tho Platte vally has been delayed because that offers few engineeringidiiTiculties, is in region whore labor can be secured, and where much work can bo done in tho winter time. It is said that, if early completion of this line were de sired it could be built from Newark to Bridgeport in a year. It would not sur prise many railroad men who are con versant with tho situation if work along tho Platte valley were to be started within tho next twelve months. Mrs, George Babbitt Dies.

It is evident that tho attendance at the Chautauqua is equal to the ex pectations of tho management. At all the sessions tho seating capacity of tho big tent-nearly one-half larger than tho ono of last year is filled, and evidently tho management considored tho tent, when ordored, sufficiently large, hence there is no disappointment. Up to date there has been but one disappointing number on the program, tho other numbers hnvo been highly satisfactory to attendants, and the interest cvlcnced runs high, The torrid weather has not tended to lessen the afternoon attendance, and at each evening session tho number present has been such as to practically fill every scat in tho tent. Tuesday afternoon Shungopavi, a full blooded Moqui Indian of Arizona, in full costume, occupied tho platform. Shungopavi has attended school, speaks the English language fluently, and told of tho tribal customs of tho Moquis, who are descendants of tho Cliff dwellers of the southwest. He is hlniself a "medicino man" by heredity his ancestors for several generations having filled that position. In addition to his talk, he gave many expert ex hibitions of sleight-of-hand work, all of which were clover. Tuesday evening Platform Manager McMurray gavo n recital of tho chariot race in Low Wallace's "Ben Hur," and the incidents leading up to the race. The recital proved a most intensely interesting ono, the vivid portrayal of tho exciting chariot race holding the audience almost spell-bound. Mr. McMurray is certainly a reader of no mean ability, in fact his work Tues day evening has been pronounced ns good as any over heard on tho local platform or stage. Wednesday afternoon had been heralded as tho big event of tho ses sionthe lecture by Senator Cummins, of Iowa but it proved to ninety per cent of tho auditors a keen disappoint ment. In a political campaign it would have proven a passably good speech, butrot r. Chautauqua session, where fully half tho audience was ladies, it was dull and uninteresting to the Iattor, and of but little interest to men. The Senator told us of trusts and combina tion and to some extent their operations, but what he Bald was not new to the average newspaper reader, nor did he propose a remedy for stopping the cen tralization of tho commercial power, or to bridlo tho growing greed of tho trusts. Ho Bjwko at length on tho tar ilf and tho fight of tho insurgents for lower schedules and in a recital of this there was more or less aggrandizement for Senator Cummins. The Tribune favors progressive republicanism, com mends much of the work Senator Cum mins has performed in the United States Bennte, but insists that his ad dress as a Chautauqua lecture is not by any means a glittering success and that it wbb not worth the $200 it cost the Chautauqua management. Wednesday evenine Sterling Battis gavo readings and impersonations from DickonB, in which a dozen of Dickens' most widely known characters were portrayed in a highly interesting man nor. Tho make up oi Mr. uaui3 in the several roles was very clover, and his readings wore good, making the evening a moat entertaining one. Wednesday aftornoon and evening music was furnished by tho Eureka male quartette, which was encored at each appearance. Wm. Buskins and Clay Crawford, of Candy, aro among tho visitors in town this week. Miss Mildred Fitzpatrick is spending a few days in Cozad as the guest ot Miss Genevieve Owens. Ed Cokor, of Suthorland, nttended the Cummins lecture at tho Chautau qua Wednesday, making tho trip in his Buick unto. Father Daly, who spoke ot the Chautauqua Sunday, spent several days in town and in tho absence of Rav. Carroll said mass at tho convent chapel. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Montgomery, Chas White and Miss Lillio White, of Her Bhey, were in town yesterday, coming down to attend the Senator Cummins lecture. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hecox, of Gothenburg, who had been visiting nt the homo of Mrs. Hecox's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Slutts, for a short time, returned to their homo Wednes day. HAIL INSURANCE.
