In some parts of the county espec ially whore the soil is light corn is standing the dry weather wonderfully well and is not as yet injured, while in other sections considerable damage has already resulted and rain must fall in a few days in order to make a partial crop.

Tho two months old son of Mr. and Mrs. John Abernathy of tho Third Ward died Friday morning after an illness of several weeks.

Deficit Decreased. Just at this time tho exact financial condition of the recent Chautauqua as sembly is not known, but it is believed that there will bo a small deficit some where between two and five hundred dollars. This will necessitate a small assessment on the ownors of the 120 shares of stock. Last year there was a deficit of about eleven hundred dol lars, which the shareholders promptly and cheerfully paid. It was hoped that this year tho receipts would meet the expenditures, but while thta has not proven true, the deficit ns compared with last year has been more than cut in two, and with the growing interest manifested in the Chautauqua there is every reason to believe that next year the financial showing will bo as much better compared with the 1910 showing as 1910 was with 1909. That tho peoplo of North Platte do sire a Chautauqua next year was shown by the expression given at the lent Sunday night when tho larger number of men present and mnny of the ladies stood when asked if tho Chautauqua should be held next year. Tho general feeling is tha the Chautauqua ha3 proven of grpat benefit to the people of North Platto in th,o way of education and entertainment and that it should be made permanent. The Chautauqua Closes. The second assembly of tho North Platte Chautauqua association closed Sunday evening with a concort by tho Dunbars, one of tho best musical organizations that North Platte people have had the pleasure of hearing. Not only were tho selections by tho male quartette Bplendid, but tho boll ringing was fine and tho selections by the cclloist, pianist and flutist and the readings by Mrs. Dunbar were much ap preciated. Two of tho best lectures on the pro gram were delivered Friday. In the afternoon President Merica, of tho Wyoming university, spoke on ho "Boy Who Goes Wrong," in which he sug gested a number of reasons why boys travel a different path from which they should, and in closing made a strong plea for tho boy who in many ways suffers from parental neglect. In the evening Prof. McMurray gave n lecture on Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, in which he brought out living examples of Stevenson's imaginary story. The lecturo was a most interesting one. Saturday afternoon Thos. B. Fletcher delivered a lecture on "The Myrtar dom of Fools, "and in the evening Bill Bono recited a number of his poems, interspersing them with considerable witticism. Sunday afternoon Mr. Fletcher delivered his lecture on ''Judas Iscariot," applying the name to those today who betray their trust. This lecture was a mo3t forceful one, per haps a littlo too radical, and served to awaken tho people to their duty along certain reformations. Miss Fenna Beeler was hostess Sat urday afternoon at a reception which was given to meet tho Misses Lucile and June Brown of Kearney. The hours were from three to five and during that time about sixty young ladies called. In the receiving lino wore the Medames Beeler, Scott and Temple and Misses Beeler and Brown.

Struck by a speeding passenger train was the experience of E. Van Nntta while starting to cross the Locust street crossing in his automobile Saturday evening. Ho was coming from Dickey's with a five gallon can of ice cream on tho fender of the car and was running nt low rate of speed. Not hearing n sound of a whistlo orbell ringing and worst of all, not a flagman in sight, Mr. VanNntta started across thinking his way wns clear but too late to stop hlb car when No. 4 cast bound struck him tearing away the back part of tho car and cut- tincr off the back seat as slick as a whistle. If the flagman had been nt his post this accident would not happen ed. It is a miracle that Mr. VanNatta es caped with his life. Mr. Eves' son was in the front seat with VanNatta and they were both frightened almost speechless. Tho automobile is u total wreck . Car Turns Turtle. While making a quick turn on the road west of town Friday night tho car driven by Minor Hinman, with whom J. B. McDonald and Dave Day were rid ing, a front wheel was twisted off and the car turned turtle. Hinman and Mc Donald who were riding in tho front seat were thrown under the car, while Day took an aerial flight of twenty feet and landed in the sand. The latter was considerably jarred, but not so much so ns to render him unablo to extricate his companions from underneath the car. Hinman sustained severe bruises and gashes, and McDonald suffered a badly sprained ankle and numorous bruises and cuts on the face and body. He will probably bo confined to tho house for a couplo of weeks. The car was being driven nt a rather rapid pace, and tho boys may consider themselves lucky that their injuries were not even moro serious. Other than the twisting off of the wheel and a breakage of tho steering gear, the car was not damaged. Young Girl Dies. Lucy, tho twenty year old dnugh- r m- 1 a t rr'i, ri,ll, i died about 8:30 Saturday morning after an illness ' extending over but a few days. Death was duo to weakening of the blood and though she has been failing for several months, her condition wns not considered serious. Friday after noon she was taken much worse and medical assistance was called but the case was of too long standing and after a night of intense suffering tho spirit took flight the next morning. Miss Boldock has made her homo in this city for only a short time, coming here from Stanbcrg Missouri about a year or moro ago, and for tho past two seasonB had been employed in the Huffman millinery store. Of a quiet and retiring disposition she was practially unknown save by those with whom she came in daily contact. She was a young lady of strong character, true to her friends and a loving sister and daughter in the home where she will be sadly missed.
