The Tie Between us and the Kitchen
is a close one, maybe you have never thought it over, but
nothing- contributes so much to true home comfort as a pro
perly equipped kitchen. The cook stove or range is the most
important part of the kitchen furnishings, and you should
have one that will do its work properly and in the most
cleanly manner. This means sweet temper for the women
folks, good food, so there is nothing else which contribes
so much to the happiness of the home. Our prices on steel
ranges will astonish you if you had an idea they could be
bought so low as we have priced them you would have had
one long ago.

Elks Dedicate Their
Fine New Home.
North Platte Lodge No. 985, Benevo
lent and Protective Order of Elks was
instituted In June, 1905, with a chnrtor
membership of thirty-four, the greater
number of whom had previously become
membori of the Grand Island lodge.
Tho lodge was instituted by members
of the Omaha and Grand Island lodges
who came here In goodly numbers and
the event proved quite a day for North
Platte.
While the lodgo has always been a
livo wlro its membership did not in
crease rapidly, the mombers not solicit
ing applications and up to June, 1910,
the live membership was but a few
ovor one hundred. When the decision
to build a new home was arrived at,
efforts to increase the membership were
made, and in less than a year the mem
bership has more than doubled, the
total at this time being 22G with about
forty applications for membership on
file.
The first move toward a home was
made about three years ago when the
trustees were authorized to purchase a
site, with tho result that the lot on the
corner of Fourth and Dewey, 66x132
feet, waspurchased of the Presbyterian
church for $3,000. Making payments
on this lot exhausted the finances of
the lodgo as fast as accumulated, but
there were "boosters" among the
members who said they col Id not Bleep
well at night until a building was as
sured, and when they did sleep visions
of the building were visible.
In March, 1910, tho trustee were
authorized to secure funds to erect a
home, and a building committee consist
ing of Messrs. Neville, Seeberger.Mc
Donald and Cunningham appointed.
Architect Carl Shaffer was employed to
draw plans which wore later accepted
and the contract awarded to R. P.
Basta on Juno 4th, and en July 1st
active work on the building began. The
contract priceVas $22,168; exclusive of
tine nesting pjnno,' piumoing which
was placed by Glnn & White at a cost
of $5,050. The, building was turned
over to the committee in Janunry.
The building Is three-stories, 66x66
feet built of cherry-red pressed brick
with Bedford stone trimmings, tho
design being Romanesque. The lower
floor is devoted to three store rooms,
which were, upon completion, occupied
by the Kaufman-Wernet Co.
The main entrance to the second and
third floors aro on Fourth street. The
second floor is used exclusively for club
purposes. Upon leaving the entrance
hall one passes Into the house socre
tary's office, thence into a lounging
room twenty feet square, off of which
is the reading room of the same size.
These two rooms are furnished with
mahogony furniture upholstered with
green leather. Tho finish of these
rooms is in quarter sawed oak, natural
finish. From the lounging room there
is an entrance to the billiard room,
20x40. This is supplied with two
billiard tables and two pool tables of
mission style, as is also in the wnll
settees. Rubber matting is uoed on
the floor, and in this room is also
cigar case.
From the billiard room there is an
entrance to the banquet room which is
alio 20x40, the finish of which is in
Georgia pine. In the rearof the billiard
and banquet rooms is located the grille
or card room, 14x26, and n well ap
pointed kitchen. The grille room is
finished in Flemish oak, large fire place,
beam ceiling and paneled walls, with
card tables and chairs to match. This
room is a gem. This floor also contains
coat and toilet rooms.
The third floor is devoted to lodgo
purpases. Upon leaving the entrance hall
one passes into a large hall that leads
directly to a reception room 20x36 feet
furnished with handsome Flemish oak
chairs and settees upholstered in red
lea;her. From this room entrance Is
gained to the lodge room 42x46. The
wood work of this room is mission
finish, with furniture to match that
finish. The floors are maple. Tho fur
niture in this room is of a very high
grade and made to order for the lodge
in order to giva the best symetry In
placing it. On this floor are a ladies
retiring room, anti-room, toilet and
property rooms.
The indirect system of lighting is
used throughout the building, thus
giving a perfect radiation of light with
out glare, The plumbing is of tho
most modern type and the heat radia
tion Is ample to insure comfort in the
most severe weather.
For the dedicatory occasslon the in
terior of tho building had been hand
aornely decorated, under the direction
(Concluded on V$G.)
New CoHRcilncs Take Seats.
The councllmen-elcct Brock, Bu
chanan, Crosby and Donaldson took their
seats as members of that body Tues
day evening. Mayor Patterson deliv
ered an, inaugural address In which he
expressed his appreciation of tho action
the pcoplo In re-electing him; he
eelred to curry out the expressed j
wishes of tho pooplo in all things, and
particularly the waterworks and the
ily hall. The people had not, however,
expressed their wish relative to the
granting of liquor licenses, and In view
of the lack of this expression, he did not
deem it wiso for the council to make
any now departure In this regard. He
naked tho support of tho councllmeM,
and hoped, when he vacated tho office
two years hence to seo a bigger ' and
belter North Platte.
Mayor Pattorson then announced the
following appointments, and they were
confirmed by the council: J. J. Hal
ligan city attorney, W. B. Salisbury

of police, Paul Meyor city engineer,
Dr. D. T. Qulglcy city physician, Chnn.

Joseph Wilson court houso police.
The bonds of tho officers were ap
proved. Residents of tho east nd com
plained of mbbish being deposited on
certain lots and the chief of police was
nalructed to investigate the matter.
Property owners on tho west side of
Pine street petitioned the council to
have made a new survey for sldowalks,
as all walks were out of line. They
also asked that walks now out of lino
be turn up and relald. The new con
stitution of the flro department was re
ferred to tho ordinance committee The
ordinance defining the city limits, in
which an error had been made, was re
ferred ,to tho proper committee for cor
rection, No objections being made to
the proposed lateral sewer in District
A-and tho extenstlon to District N, an
ordinance was directed drawn author
ising the construction Of such laterals.
Sustains Mayor Veto.
At. .the meetlnc of the cttv council
Tuesday - evening, Mayor Patterson's
veUv oMho hospital ordinance was sus
tained by vote of four to threo -Tracy be-
rig absent. In returning the ordinance td
the council unsigned, Mayor Patterson
gave four reasons for his action. Firs t that
tho passago of the ordinance was not In
ccordance with the law; second that
there in no nuthority by law for the
city to regulate hospitals established
by private parties; third because tho
ordlnanco is unconstitutional in that
It seeks to deprive owners of real es
tate the right to conduct a lawful busi
ness; fourth, tho ordinance does not
pretend to regulate, but attempts to
delegate to chance owners of real
estate the right "to blackmail or
drive such business out of tho city. Tho
mayor's reasons wero accompanied by
on opinion from City Attorney Halligan
declaring the passage of tho ordinance
faulty und its provisions unconstitu
tional. Tonight is High School Night.
