The Rice and Dore water carnival company arrived from Grand Island Sunday evening and early yesterday 'morning the work of erecting the tents for the various attractions began and was prosecuted with such vigor throughout The day that by ovoning . everything was in readiness for recoiv ipgtho people. This carnival company is by far the largest that has visited North Platte, eight or ten cars being required to transport thecquippage and the employes. Nearly two hundred men and women ate connected in one way or another with the company. Thoro are sixteen attractions which charge admission and three that are free. The various shows are located principally on 'Fifth, Sixth and Locust streets, Dewey being kept clear of attractions except one at the U. P. hotel, a Ferris wheel between Front and Sixth and a merry-go-round at Fourth. The tank for the water nymphs and the ihclosure for the wild west show occupy opposite corners ' at Fifth and Locust. Inaddition to'.theso show places, there are a largo number of booths for concessionaires who have 'different classes of wares for sale. With all these tents nnd stands, the streets present a truly carnival .ap pearance. Among the attractions offered by tho company are the Motordome, where motorcyclists dash around at a thrilling pace; Princess Electra and Prof. Dorsi, who tame electricity; Booger Kid's wild west show, with its bucking branchos, and cowboy feats-, the con gress of fat people, where you find mountains of huminity, the Palace of the Orient, the house of the dancers; "the congress of wonders, whore strange and curious people are seen; Bo Bo's Minstrels, vaudeville show, the flea circus, the Ferris wheel, the ocean wave and the steam swine and last but by no moans least, the Fjather Neptune and his nymphs, thosnow including7 the high dive. '' ' : The carnival drew out a large crowd on the streets last evening, but the at tendance'at tho shows other thasat the motordome, the water nymphs and the merry-go-round was not large. Evi dently tho people weregettingvthp "lay of the land" and will begin the real sight seeing tonight. Until Friday tho shows will not be open in tho afternoons. The crowd on tho stroet last evening was orderly and was not inclined to get "smart." Tho fact that tho shows arc spread out over a wido scope, prevents tho congestion of any one stroQt.

For bargains in choice residences see Buchanan & Patterson's .bargain list in another column tf Fourth of July Weather. As North Platto is planning a big celebration, naturally we are all inter ested as to the weather wo will have on that day. The accommodating officer at tho weather bureau, Mr. Shilling, has lookwd up the records of tho office for thirty nine years past, and finds that on sixteen of the thirty-nino Fourths wo have liad rain,' tho hoavlest having occurred on July A, 1897. Last year wo had about one-fourth of an inch. Ho finds tho hottest Fourth wo have over had was in 1877, when it registered 102, and Bill McDonald and Bill Woodhurst, who were thon boys, say it was so hot that the collection of fireworks, which were recklessly exposed to tho sun's rays, wore ignited and exploded in a heap thus robbing the poople of tho ex hibition at night. Tho coldost Fourth was in 1903, when tho tomporaturo dropped to forty-seven degrees. Of course you can't tell to a certainty what the weather will bo next Friday, but from tho records of the past it will bo either hot, temperate or cool and either dry or wet. Real Estate Loans.
