hands and portions of his body were
literally cooked before he could be re
leased by the round house emnloves.

Baby Tigers Coming.
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.

To Raise Assessed Value.
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.
