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

acainst option and 165 were not in

Annual Baptist Meeting.
The annual meeting of tho North
Piatto Baptist Association will be, held

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.

, Big Crowds Attend Chautauqua.
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
