No, 59 Mtitth jI f Wm o" " ' 'I- c J, f r .jgf uW if v I f& fa - We Vote Next Tuesday. Next Tuesday the voters of North Tlatto will have an opportunity to cast their ballots on three propositions; Whether wo shall have Sunday ball, whether we shall issue $20,000 bonds for a city hall, whother we shall issue 610,600 bonds for paving street and alloy intersections. Every voter should go to the polls; not to do so means a lack of interest that does not show the proper degreo of good citizenship. If you can't conscientiously vote for the throe propositions, then Tote against them, but vote. The Tribune would like to see the city hall bonds carry; the building is needed especially for the fire depart . rnent. If we furnish themembers with suitable quarters wo express our ap preciation of past services and are as sured more effective service in the future. If we defeat the bonds it is equivalent to saying: "to Halifax with the department; let the boys do the best that they can; if they don't like it, let them quit." And it may be added par enthetically, that if the bonds are de feated many of tho boys will quit and he department will become demoral ized. The proposed street pavmg is in the line of progression toward good busi ' ness thoroughfares, more cleanly, sani tary and permanent streets. We would not for a moment consider going back to board sidewalks, though at one time we considered them good enough. Paved streets may not be popular with all now, but after we put in a few blocks, we will wonder why we so long tolerated dirt road ways on our princi pal streets. Many of tne smaller cities of the state are paving their streets and are more than satisfied with the re sults; tho same will be true in North Platte. Whother we shall have Sunday ball is a personal matter with each individual. Home Talent PJ ay. "The Girl and the Cowboy," a com edy drama, will be presented by local talent at the Keith nextTuesday oven ing under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Dowling, who have been directing the rehearsals for a week past. There are seven characters in tho cast, with Mis3 Maude Owens as the girl and Robt. Gantt as the cowboy. The play is said to abound with strong points which will bo well brought out by the cast. The admission will be fifty cents to any saat in the house. Tickets can be re served without extra charge. I have several bargains in City Real Estate, and can arrange to sell them on easy terms Sec n.e at once. C. F.

Chapman Tuesday even ing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Patterson was largely attended, not only by the members of tho Episcopal parish but by ministers and members of other denominations.

Punch and ice cream and cake, provided by the members of the guild, was served dur ing the ovoning. 0 Rev.

A large barn on the diary farm of Albert Haspcl, two miles west of town, burned to tho ground Wednesday fore noon. Thore was no loss of stock, but a considerable amount of harness and otherstable equipment, and also farm implements were consumed. Tho barn was one of the best in this section pf the county, having cost about two thousand dollars. A granary near tho barn was partially burned and vould have been entirely consumed had it not been for the work of men who drove out to the farm in cars. There was an insurance of $1,100 on the barn and contents, which will cover about one-half of the loss. The origin of the 'fire is unknown but Mr. Haspol is inclined to believe that a tramp had been sleeping in the barn and in using matches had set fire to the hay. Keep On Winning. The North Platte ball team journeyed to Eustis Tuesday and met the team from Orleans which suffered defeat by a score of six to four. The team from Orleans proved one of the best North Platte has been up against this season, and tho game proved an interesting One. The people of Eustis raised a purse of $125 to securo tho game, and this sum was divided between the two ,, teams, sixty; per cent going to the winner. There was a large attendance at tne game. It Depends Somewhat. Editor Tribune: Is it good form for a lady to appear on the streets attired in a thin white skirt and no petticoat, especially if she passes between you and the sotting sun? Hazel. Whether the "form" is good depends on who the lady is; we notice, howover, that women so attired attract consider able attention. Modesty demands that you wear a petticoat. - Ed.

Sovoral months ago Genl. Manngor Ware, in a conference with the local Chamber of Commerce, tentatively agreed to place a strictly passenger train In service on the North River branch as an experiment. If at tho end of three months it was found that tho patronago was insufficient to pay operating expenses, it would bo discon tinued, and itwas practically agreed that the tryout should be mado this fall. l is now about time that tho experiment bo mado; tho people along tho lino aro demanding better service, and it is only fair to them that tho passenger service bo instituted to ascertain if their in creased patronage by reason of better service justifies the expense of an ad ditional train. If it is found that tho train eoes not pay, in fairness to tho company, wo can hardly demand that it bo continued after tho expiration of tho three-month period yot It is said that some of the swell mam lino trelns do not make oxpennea. It might be pos sible to drop one of tho luxurious main liners and instead maintain a non-paying branch train for tho benefit of the freight shippers. Reduction in Force. District Foreman McGraw wa3 In structed this week to reduce tho shop pay rol two thousand dollars pormonth and in accordanco therewith laid off bo tween thirty and forty men Tuesday evening. Only a few mechanics wero laid off. a majority of the men effected being day laborers and helpers. It is believed this reduction in the force vill only be temporary and that the depleted ranks will be gradually filled. With traffic on tho road showing an increaso over last year, the reduction hardly seems justifiable, but the actions of heads of big corporations are often past understanding. Women Not Interested. Evidently our women are not greatly nterested in equal suffrage, at least little interest was manifested in the meetings at tho court house Monday and Tuosday evenings, when Dr. Weid mer, .of Lincoln delivered addresses. Monday evening "a score of men and women wero present, the following evening the number was even lossr If women do not Interest themselves in tho movement they can hardly expoct it to be successful.

This will insure the biggest corn crop ever raised in this section, tho acreage being CO per cent greater than in the provloui years.

Doolittlo, while cutting kindling two weeks ago, was struck in the face by a flying stick. One eye was injured by the iilow and the boy was immediately placed under tho treat ment of Dr. Lucas. Though special at tention has been given him, it is doubt full if tho sight of the eye can bo saved. Dwelling For Rent. A nice seven room cottage with bath aud toilet on East Fifth St. Buchanan & Patterson. C. M. Haydcn, who was in from Wallace yosterdoy said: "We nee J rain awfully bad, corn is suffering badly and unloss we havo rain within a few days there will bo very little corn to gather in our section.
