Voll ner, Suite 527, Wellington Block, Omaha, Neb. The Chautauqua Closes. The North Platto Chautauqua closed Sundoy evening with a lecture by Mr. Cooley, who is connected with the socitl reform movemeht in Cleveland, ,in which ho gave a synopsis of the work being done thero with wayward men, women and children. Much had boon accomplished by placing the prisoners on n farm owned by the city, and treat ing them as men and women and not r.s prisoners. The closing days of the Chautauqua Were as interesting as those of the early, part. The appearance of the Wagner Shank opera company gave the people an opportunity of hearing high class music by trained vocalists; their pro grams were certainly fine, and especially the selections given Sunday afternoon and evening. Very interesting was the illustrated lecture given Friday evening by Bonarjee, the Hindu, in whiqh the social conditions of the Hindus were de picted by word and on canvass. Bishop Tihen, of the Catholic dio cese of Lincoln, occupied the platform Sunday nfternoon and interested the large nudience with his address on the social conditions. He was followed in the evening by Mr. Cooley. Taken as whole the entertaining and educational features of the Chautauqua were a success, but as usual the re ceipts were less than the expenditures, the existing deficit being about $800. Sunday evening Judge Warren, in .be half of the directors, asked for popular subscriptions to cover the deficit with the result that about $600 ,was raised. Probably one-third of the sum was subscribed by stockholders of the as sociation and on their subscription credit will be given for the amount of the assessment, so the stockholders will still face a deficit of $450 or more. Just a Reminder. Let's see if we remember correctly this was the year President Mohler, of the Union Pacific, said North Platte was to have a newt round house and a lot of other terminal im provements -this in lieu of a new de pot. As Mr, Mohler is a very busy man, and moy overlook small matters, we feel justified in jogging his mem ory. Fifty or a hundred thousand dollars distributed to aborers between now and January 1st would help out matters in North Platte, therefore Mr. Mohler, let's start work on the terminal im provements. Alex Struthcrs Dead. Alex StVuthers, a prominent resident of North Platte in the earlier days, died at Douglas, Ariz., Friday.' The funeral will be held in Denver next Thursday.
