Don't miss seeing the bnby tigers when you visit the big menngerio of Campbell Bros, great consolidated shows on its coming visit to North Platte on Saturday, August 3rd. It is very rare indeed that tigers are born in captivity. The coming ot these little strnngers a few days ngo is therefore an event in the natural history n3 well as in tho annals of the circus world. "Topsy," the big Bengal tigress, is as proud of her oft'springs ns tho average human mother, but nlns, she is not able to suckle the littlo mites sufficiently. Campbell Bros, consequently had to buy a milch cow to feed them and now "Bessy" travels with tho show to pro duco food for tigers Surely n now use for a cowl There are four young ones, one having died, nnd each is" about the size of a domestic cnt. They can be handled tho same na kittens. It is worth while to go to Campbell's Gigan tic Circus to see them, alone. Just think of being nblo to say in after lifo that you have hnndled n tiger. J. R. Ritncr is the latest to invest in n Ford car, and like nil other Ford pur chasers is well pleased with it. Semi-Annua! Statement of the County Treasurer- of Lincoln County, Nebraska.

From the Lincoln Journal it is learned that the state board of equalization has decided that the assessed value of land in forty-five counties is too low and that it will be increased from five to twenty-five per cent. Lincoln is one of the counties which it is proposed to raise, but just how much, is not stated. However, beforo the increase is made the county boards will be given an opportunity to proteBt at a meeting to be held August 13th. The Tribune cannot understand why the state board of equalization should be in a better position to determine the true valuation of land than the men who do the assess ing or the local bonrd that passes on the work of the local assessors. The state board knows little if anything, of conditions in Lincoln county, while the local assessor, who generally is a farmer, sees the land, knows its pro ductive qualities, examines the im provements and is in position to know, its true valuation. To increase values is n reflection on the judgment and honesty of the local assessors as well as on the county board of equalization. Library Notes. " Socialiasm has become a factor in American life that cannot be ignored. It has nome very strong adherents and some equally bitter opponents. Both sides ought to have anjjopportunity to obtain intelligent information concern ing this subject. A number of excel lent works on the different phases of socialism are on the shelves of the library. i Now-a-days wo are constantly hear ing about "efficiency". One way in which efficiency is to be brought about in any large enterprise according to its apostles is by scientific manage ment. Frederick Taylor was one of the pioneers in mapping out a plan for shop scientific management. The real worth of his plan to all concerned, both employers and employes,, has not yet been determined but his books contain some very excellent food for thought and are well worth reading even by the opponents of his ideas. The library has his "Scientific Manage ment." It used to be thought that almost any one could clerk in a store with but very little preparation nnd after a position had been obtained there was certainly no need for study. This is an exploded theory. To be n first class salesman requires education along particular lines. To supply this need the library has a very excellent woik on "Salesmanship," nnd expects to add from time to time other books of the same nature. " North Platte is justly proud of its trees. They lire not just hnppenings. They were planted and renred with enre and labor. However, they are as. susceptible to di'mago from ignorant caro as any other trees nnd there is need foe. intelligent knowledge concerning the can, of our beautiful shade trees. Tho library has on its shelves a very excellent book on the care of shade trees. Joline Antonldes loft Saturday morn ing for Hershoy to visit relatives for n short timo.
