With so many avenues through which to disburse the publicity fund, it Is un reasonable to expect the Chnmbor of Commerce to furnish the full amount asked by the military band for Its sorie3of opon air concerts, this sum being five hundred dollars. Last year the Chamber.of Commerce made an ap propriation of ono dollar per concert for each member playing and It is will ing to mako a similar appropriation this year. There are about 125 subscribers to tho publicity fund; there are 1100 voters in town; would it bo more than fair to ask the 975 men who are not subscribers to tho publicity fund to sub scribe to the band concert fund an average of thirty cents each. It is the general public that enjoys the band concerts; why should they not bo willing to help pay for the amusement ana ploasure they receive? We should have the concerts, and tho price asked is not unrcasonablo, but to have them, citi zens other than tho busincsssmon must untie their purso strings. If you desire the concerts drop into McDonald's bank and hand Emil Voscoipka such amount as you feel you can afford to give. Reception to Schools A reception was held last evonlng in the parlors of the Presbyterian church by tho Young Ladies Clubs of the dif ferent churches for the students of the Junior Normal. Tho pillars of the rooms were decorated with tho colors of each society and the gueBts were re ceived by a reception committee from each church. The attendance was about one hundred. Games were played dur ing the evening and the guests made welcome by each club. Badges of each society were presented to all who at tended and nicely prepared refreshments served. The evening was a very enjoy able one to all and the Junior Normal students feel thnt they were royally en tertained. The decorations were taste fully arranged so as to blend different colors and the entertainment committoo spared nothing which would add to the ploasure of their guests. Charged With Forgery. Frank Holtslandc, Jr., who until recently had been living with his father on a homestoad in McPherson county, is in tho Lincoln county jail awaiting hearing on a charge of forgery. About two months ago lie prosentod a 200 draft at tho Platte Valloy Bank, and as the draft nppeared regular he was given the money. Whon tho draft was sent east for collection it was found to have been forged. After cash ing tho draft Holslander went to Can ada, but returned tho early part of this week and accepted employment at the Cody ranch.

To-Night and Saturday at The Crystal The Program To-night A good story is told of the film "Se cret Sorvico Sam," which we show to night. Herbert Brenon and his 'Imp forces thought thojr had picked a bright day to take the marine pictures. Three tugs were hired and nil preparations made, when a dismal flaw sot in and promised to set their plans awry. But moving picture making waits for neith er time nor tido, so the flotilla steamed down the bay. After passing the Nar rows, the camera men began to reel off the film. Tho actors assumod their belligerent attitudes of Russian spies and their pursuing secret service men. Jusl this sido of Sandy Hook the boats began peppering each othor with blank cartridges. Suddenly a boat that had been following thorn camo up. Brenon was directing the bnttery of cameras toward tho warring forces when he discovered that the boat was "butting in." "Come on," signalled Brenon to the captain of ono of the tugs. "What is tho matter with you fellows?" The captain answered, indicating that something was wrong. Brenon soon overtook the tugs and discovered that the police had regarded the action of tho flotilla as highly snsplcious and with visions of a new order of pirates or filibusters, had determined to inter fere. Explanations were mado and civilities exchanged. Tho copper nnd the make-believe secret sorvlce men parted the best of friends.

This well will be sunk to such a depth as necessary, but will not be less than 150 feet. In using city water It was found that in tho freezing process tho alkali concentrated in the center of the cake, and when tho cen ter was reached In tho melting process there was a residue of the alkali. Having a desire to furnish a pure ice, this condition was unsatisfactory to the company, hence the determination to mini a aeep wen ana ooiain n waier free from alkali.
