Bank Concerts Commence Friday Night. After considerable discussion of ways and means, and amounts necessary, etc., Secretary Temple has arranged for band concerts to commence next Friday and the band has agreed to accept the Chamber of Commerce's proposition, viz: $1.00 per member per concert for the summer season. The band did not want to accept this proposition as this amount wouldn't much more than pay for their music, however the Chamber of Commerce board did not feel they could go any stronger, considering the things they wanted to do and the amount or money they had. Justwhat the secretary's plan is for raising the necessary money, we don't know, but we will probably find out shortly. Take up an Important Matter. At tho meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last evening tho following resolutions, which arc explanatory, were unanimously adopted: Whereas, It is the announced policy of the United States government to re tain, in the up river states all water not now used and applied on lands in the North Platte river valley, nnd to that end and purpose have caused a survey to be mad" showing the lands to which water has been applied; and Whereas, The stale of Nebraska, through its state board of irrigation has announced that applications for water made in the state and which water has not been applied to lands will likewise be cancelled by the state; and Whereas, In tho North PI at to river valley ditches have been constructed from which little or n6 water has been applied to land and tho applications for water belonging to said ditches will bo cancelled ana ttie priorities lost if same are not put in shape and water used; nnd Whereas, There is much other land in the valley susceptible of irrigation from the North Platte river for which no application to appropriate water has been made, and unless on appropria tion of water for such land is speedily made, tho right to irrigate such landfrom said river will be lost and the valley of the North Platte in the state be as de void of water for irrigation as the valley of the South Platte and much wealth lost to tho valley and the state at large, and to the cities and towns in the said valley, therefore bo it . Resolved, By tho North Platte Cham ber of Commerce that we call upon his excellency Hon. Chester H. Aldrich.gov ernor of the state of Nebraska, who has always been alive to the interests of the state, to do whatever is in his power to arouse the people of the North Platte valley to the danger that threatens them and ihat he be respect fully invited to make a number of ad dresses to the, people of the North Platte valley oh this important subject and that the Hon.

A Good Game, On Thursday afternoon the postoffice ball team crossed bats with the junior normal team leading the latter to a well earned dqfeat by a score of 5 to 4. Tho gamo was well attended by a largo number of teachers from the normal, and the ferocious rooting done by tho normal tended to make the game ox citing from start to finish. The batteries were Dickerson, and Pierce, for the normals and Clark, pitched, and Robinson, for the post office' boys. The work of the batter for the normal was worthy of mention and the work of Prof. Williams' on second was one of the features of the gamo. In pitching y Clark of tho postoflico force held down the normals to four runs and his famous out shoot was a bait for the victims. Tho work by Catcher Robinson on the other end of tho lino Bhowed him to bo in good form for tho season's games. The batting done by Rector of tho City Carrier Dent, reminded one of home run Sandall who played with the P. 0. team last year. Tucker on first base captured every thing that came his way affu showed that none of his old time cunning was missing. As a whole it was a good clean game from the word "play ball."
