Presidont Mohlor, of tho Union
Pacific, went through to Salt Lake this

Promoting Road to Maxwell.
R. H. Fowles is circulating n petition
asking for a road between North Platto
and Maxwell, this now hlghwny to run
on tho south sidu of tho railroad begin
ning on tho cost bnnk of the North
Platto river at a point In direct con
tinuation with I'ourtli street, audi a
rond will shorten tho routo to Maxwell
some four or fivo miles over oither the
now traveled routes, hiuI could bo con
structed nt a comparatively small cost,
It is claimed. In connection with this
road a bridge across tho Platte river
eaBt of town would bo necessary, and
to build this It would bo necessary to
orgnnize n bridge district out of the
territory benefitted and vote bonds.
It is believed thnt if this road were
built it would form part of tho ncross-the-coutinent
highway, being used in
this connection with the lutoly im
proved road between Maxwell and
Brady, and tho rond between Brady aid
Gothenburg, both of which pnrallel tho
Union Pacific track s. This road would
rcBiilt in the abandonment of tho route
south of the South Plntto botween
North Plntto nnd Gothenburg, and '
thereby shorten the routo.
Tho Maxwell people are very en
thusiastic for this now road nnd con
siderable intorest is being developed
among tho North Platto peoplo,

Tho State Journal says the Burling

Tho Omaha Bee predicts that the

ern Pacific murgeo will result in the
former purchasing tho latter road from
Ogdon to Frisco; that it will result in
increased business over tho Union Pa
cific, and that Presidont Mohler will bo
given more power than heretofore.

Those who go to the theatre merely
to bo amused will find in "Twelfth
Night" tho comedy which May Stowart

The characters uro intensely comic and
the situations laughter compelling.
Thoso who object to deep plots or
heavy tradedy will find in Twelfth
Night a pleasing comedy full of tho
light side of life but richly jeweled with
tho brightest sparkling English thnt
only the Immortal Bard of Avon can
hnndlo.
Thojlove and appreciation of Shake
