Next Tuesday tho voters of North Platte will vote on two propositions,' one t& bond tho city for $22,000 for a cjty hall, tho' other tho adoption or ro jocjion of tho franchise recently granted the Nebraska Telephone Co. by tho city council. Tho building of a city hall to provldo quarters for tho firo de partment and tho city officials iB along the lino of progression. Wo have gotten J along without the use of such a building but thnt is no argument that it is not needed. . If suitable quarters aro not provided for the lira departnjont we cannot expect tho members to take ! much interest ' in tho organization, whereas if a new building i3 orocted it, will infuse mora interest and the result will be a toore efficient department. That tho fire department is entitled to" more consideration than it has received, there is no pcitioi. To pay tho Inter est and prinsiDul of tho bonds would not prove burdensome to the taxpayers. The franchise proposition is also along th' line if progrossion, for If tho fran chise is adopted, tho compnny proposos to expend $60,()fj'J in rebuilding tho local plant. In this work a good part of th( sum would be expended for labor, riving employment to men and increas ing tiio circulation of money in our midst. V, ' Nest of Owl to be Instilled. J. E. Hill and D. W. Kesslor, who aro in town for tho purpose of organ izing a nest of Owls, nro meeting with excellent success. Though they ' have been hero but a Week to day, they have secured oyer one hundred for the charter membership. These men say that whilo North Platto is ono the best towns they have ever visited in tho way of securing members, the princi ples of thQfpwla ia such that they ap tfeto.&l'sria'it is" therefore easyo secure members. Though not nh old order, it has been In existence suf ficiently long to demonstrate is gen eral usefulness to mankind in tho way of furnishing social diversion rfor its members, in providing for the needy nnd in making bright tho pathway of many otherwise who, would bo dejected and disconsolate nnd without thnt cheer which comes with a membership in tho Owls. One of the several worthy features of tho order is tho establishment of "homes in various parts of tho country for tho enro and education of Orphan children of deceased mombers, the sup port of which comes from tho general order and not from jurisdictional nests. One of these homes is now being erec ted in St Joseph county, Indiana, and tho picture of tho homo shows it to bo a very largo and beautifultbuilding with accomodations for several hun dred children. In these homes the or phan children will bo reared and ed ucated, and finally sent out Into tho world well equipped to successfully battle with, tho warfare Of life no mat tor how strenuous. Tho growth of tho owls amazes nil; it Is a record-breaker, among all the many fraternal and benovoloht orders. Just a few days ago a class of 1800 was initlntod at Cleveland, where a nest was established four years ago. At Jifckonville, Fla., the nest hns over 1,600 members, nt Atlnnta,' Gn., over 3,000, and other cities nnd towns have nests with proportionately largo mem bership. At Jacksonville tho nest has boon incorporated .with a capitnl of $100,000 and later will bond with for un additional $100,000 nnd erect n building costing $200,000. Theso nro only in stances of what tho Owls aro doing, tho magnitude of their efforts cer tuinly there Is something to an order that does these things. h Tho membership being socun-d'by Messrs. lull and Kesslor are mnongn tho bono and slnow of our cpmuunlty, si rlnaH of men '.vhi dm r1ttn1.l,l.. In any lodge; men of tho calftiro thut will push the work after organization and make the nest a power in the nodal and benevolent circles of the citj. Messrs. Hill und Kosslor have oste.b- lishod headquarters at Huflman'a Cigar store where ' tJaeff will be glad to meet all who aril interested; if you aro not interested,' they will certainly interest yoa.
