TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR. NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA, AUGUST 2, 1910. NO 55 S 5? is Work will begin this week on the new Union Pacific coal chutes at Gothen burg. Steel ceilings have been placed in tho rooms occupied by the Model Clothing house and tho Amercan restaurant. Miss Geraldlne Bare was hostess this forenoon at a card party given in favor of Miss Hazel McGuire. Marshal W. T. Elliott, W. W. Win quest, Geo. Brown, Wm. Peterson and Ira Burke of Brady, were in town yes terday on business connected with the George estate. First Asst. Grand Engineer H. E. Wills, of the Brotherdood of Locomotive Engineers, spent Saturday in town and met members of the local division at a meeting held in the afternoon. Farmers who were in Saturday from the north part of this county and Mc Phcrson reported their corn in very good shade up to that time. In Mc Pherson county there will be a good crop of hay. Congressman M. P. Kinkaid arrived in town Sunday morning and remained until an afternoon train. During his stay he met a number of republicans and talked over the political situation with them. Tho Independent reports that around Gothenburg a great deal of tho corn is so badly burned that it will not make good feed, to say nothing of mak ing a crop, and without rain soon there will be no corn, whatever. It is said that Albert LoDoiyt, who quit railroading vlast spring and en gaged in farming near Paxton, has lost the greater part of his crop by dry weather, and will return to this place and take up his former vocation. II. S. Keith arrived from Omaha Sun day and yesterday assumed his duties as cashier at the Pacific Hotel. He is receiving a warm welcome from his old time friends. Mr. Keith left North Platte twelve years ago after having resided here for twenty years. The initial concert by the. corn e,t band at the court house park Friday evening was largely attended, and the excellent program so well rendered proved yery entertaining. AH will bo well pleased to know that the concerts will be con tinued for a number of weeks. James Belton tells us that ho has not abandoned tho idea of putting up a brick building on the lot between tho Odd Fellows' hall and the Keith theatre, nnd tnat he will probably do so this fall. The replacement of the present building by a brick structure would certainly add to tho appearance of that section. Rev. T. J. Brown and family left yesterday for Madrid, where they will make their future home. Mr. Brown will become the pastor of tho Con gregational churches at Madrid and Venango. For a number of years past Mr. Brown had been employed as Sun day school missionary in this and adjoining counties. Thos. Healy has let tho contract to Picard Bros, for the erection of a two story eight room house on his lot on West Fifth street. The house will have all the latest modern improvements in cluding a heating plant. The contract price is $7,000. Mr. and Mrs. Healey expect to occupy their new homo about the of the new year. Nearly everybody will want a state daily during tho political mix-up now going on and the Lincoln Journal cuts its price until January 1, 1911 to $5 with Sunday jor 1.50 without. You know why The State Journal is the paper to give the straight of what is going on and you'll get a lot for your money if you send in right away. County Assessor Bacon and County Commissioner Springer appeared before the state board of emialization at Lin coln last week and dented the complaint of tho board that personal property in this county was assessed too low. Messrs. Bacon and Springer easily con vinced the board that the assessed values in this county wero plenty high as high as in surrounding counties. Mrs. F. W. Rincker was the hostess ut a very pleasant affair Friday even ing when she entertained twenty-eight young peopio in favor of her house guest, Miss Hazel McGuire, of Choy unmi. Thi noreh and lawn were craflv decorated with Japanese lanterns and tVwi flnwnrs mill rrin made a nrottv background for tho picnic supper which, wus served nt seven o'clock. Tho to-. maindorof tho evening wns devoted to dancing, and tho playing, of old fashioned games and a jolly good time was indulged in until a lato hour. Mi's. Rinclterwas assisted by tho Mes dames Streitz, Stuart and Bare. Huv it now. Now is tho time to buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

Sago aged 28 and Caro line Roberts ago 24. Both gavo their address as Maxwell. Mrs. David Scott left Saturday night for Laramie to attend tho funoral of her sister Mrs. John Davis. Sho will be accompanied home by tho two Davis children.v Mrs. Poor, of Pittsburg, Pa., who has been making her homo with hor sister, Mrs. John Singleton for some timo past, has accepted a position as clerk in Tho Leader. ' J. B. McDonald is nble to leave tho house and with the aid of crutches manages to look after business affairs. He will soon bo recovered from his ex perience in the auto accident. Deputy County Treasurer Durbin has been suffering for ten days past with a felon on tho little finger of his right hand. It is now improving, much to his relief, as it has been very painful. Sheriff Miltonberger took to tho pen itentiary at Lincoln last night Virgil Root, who plead guilty to forgery, and tho colored man Burns, who acknow ledged that he had been guilty of day light burglary. I Since the water of theBirdwood creek has been turned into the Surburban ditch there is plenty water for all the users; in fact the volume is really greater than needed. This scheme has resulted in saving a good thousand dol lars worth of crops. Mrs. Clara Hnnter desires to thank the friends nnd members of the K. O. T. M. for the kindness Bhown her dur. ing the illness and at tho funeral of her husband, the late Willard M. Hunter. Tho services extended and sympathy expressed will never bo forgotten, Frank Johnson, who was over from Welllleet yesterday, says corn in that section is in pretty bad shape and rain must come at once if the crop amounts to anything. The lack of hay and pas turage is a serious problem in that sec tion as well as elsewhere in the county. O. H. Thoelecke and Frank McGovcrn leave today or tomorrow in the former's car for Saratoga, Wyo., and points in the North Park in Colorado, expecting to be absent about a month. The ton- neav was removed from the ' car in or der to make room for camp equippage guns, ammunition, etc. They will fish for trout, hunt big gamo and have a trip of recreation that will be worth the while. Somewhat Disappointing;. Last week a grading outfit of five cars was shipped up tho branch to Northport, and at once the report spread that the Union Pacific's line up the North Platte valley was to at once bo extended west of Northport. But the report proved with foundation, for he grading outfit was taken overland to Sioux county where it will work on a reservoir for an irrigatioh ditch. Notice. v All parties knowing themselves in debted to mo will please call at the Mc Donald State Bank whero accounts have been left, and mako settlement. ' J. R. White. Not Much Show for Water. Supt. Wickstrom, of the North Platte ditch, returned yesterday from Scotts BlufTswhere he went to ascertain why the ditches in that section disregarded the instructions of the stato board of irrigation and continued to take the water from the North Platte river. He found some of ths ditches in that sec tion running full, while others had more or lesB water in them. Tho state board has representatives on the ground, but they seem powerless, and nothing short of the state militia will prevent the water users from stealing the water They make the boast that if arrested aud fined $200 they will still bo ahead for without the water their crops would burn up. especially the sugar beets, of which there is a large acreage in that section. The prospects for getting water in tho North Platte ditch is therefore not very encouraging. Even if the western ditches are shut off it will take five or six days for the water to come down the river, and unless it rains it does not seem possible that the crops can sur vive that long.
