Fire Department Favors City Hall.
At a general meeting of the Fire
Department held at the Court House
March 16th, to consider the proposition
of voting $15000.00 in City Bonds to
build a City hall and home for the Firo
Department, tho undersigned committee
were appointed to voico the sontiments
of the Fire Department.
Tho Fire Department are a unit for
the bonds and believe that they should
receive tho support of every public
spirited citizen.
There is not a town in the Stato half
tho size of North Platto that has not
a respectable City Hall and Homo for
tsFiro Department.
Such a building as can bo built with
the proceeds of tho proposed bonds will
afford plenty of room for the City Offices
and Firo Department for years to come.
Heretofore tho department has been
compelled to put up with a few old
shacks upon rented ground that aro a
disgrace to tho city. It is impossible
under such conditions to givo the City
that prompt service and firo protection
that the Interests of the City demand.
Besides, it is timo that tho city offices
were gathered into ono place where the
records could bo found and Where they
could be preserved in suitable fire proof
vaults.
Tho Fire Department earnestly calls
upon tho good citizens of tho City to
oin with it in support of tho City Hall
Bond proposition.

Booming Cody for Senator.
Word cornea from Tucson, Ariz.,
that Col, W. P. Cody has established
hit residence there and'thnt the peoplo
of that city propose to boom him as n
candidate for United Stntes senator
when that territory is admitted as a
state. It would certainly be fitting,
that Colonel Cody, the typical westerner,
round out his career by being the first
senator from a new otate. If . this
writtr lived in Arizona ha certainly
would push the Colonel's candidacy.
Nelson Again iu Trouble.
C. S. Nelson, who figured in shady

Horshey nnd York, nnd narrowly es
caped trouble at Scotts Bluffs is, ac
cording to a letter roccived in town, in
jail in Missouri. The nature of the
charge which resulted in his imprison
ment was not stated. Nelson holds &

organization, and by UBlng it ns nn
identification succeeded in getting
caihed a bogus Kansas City draft for
$15.00, this In' tor transaction coming
to Itaht in n letter from a Missouri
lodge to the local lodge.
Nelson seems to be an all-around
rascal, the kind for which penitentiar
ies yearn.
