- 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.

Many Attend Reception.
A farewell reception tendorcd Rev.
and Mrs. C. P. 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. A couple of hours
were spent in greetings and social con
versation, which was enlivened by vocal
and instrumental music. Punch and
ice cream and cake, provided by the
members of the guild, was served dur
ing the ovoning.
0 Rev. Chapman and family leave today
for Butte, Montanwp where ho has ac
cepted tho rectorship of a largo and in
fluential parish, the call to which came
to him unsolicited and without tho in
tercession of friends so far as ho knows.
Rev. and Mrs. Chapman take with tlfem
the beat wishes of our citizens.
Haspell Barn Burns.
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. Tribune.

About Time for that Tryout.
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.
A Land of Opportunity.
Humboldt County, the least developed
in California, presents a splendid oppor
tunities to investors and homeseokers.
Men and money are needed for dairying,
small fruit growing, truck farming,
general farming and apple raising. A
country of wonderful resources and ideal
climate into which tho first railroad is

mobile and of course fire, lightning,
tornado and windstorm. I have made a

Conditions Around Sidney.
A-Sidney dispatch to tho Bee dated
Monday said: Another heavy rain of
two inches fell over tho Cheyenne and
Kimball counties last night. This will
insure the biggest corn crop ever raised
in this section, tho acreage being CO per
cent greater than in the provloui years.
The fall wheat crop is now being
threshed, yielding from twenty to forty
six bushels to the acre.
May Lose Sight ofan Eye.
Hosmer, the nine year old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Thos. 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.

C. M. Haydcn, who was in from

there will bo very little corn to gather

the south and north sides of this strip
there was no sign of rain."

Local and Personal
Crops in the county iiuyo not been tho
best, to be sure, and conditions for ex
hibits at the fall festival aro not favor
able, yet here and there through the
county ore farmers who havo grown
some good wheat, rye andjoats, others
havo good potatoes and vegetables and
still others will havo good corn. Far
mers having products worthy of exhibi
tion will probably bo all the moro keen
to bring them in, for good products
this year mean more than though tho
senson had been favorable. The farmor
who produces crops by Irrigation will,
of course, be in shape to make good ex
hibits. Tho local land offlco has not yot re
ceived instructions as to tho dato of the
opening of tho forest reserve or tno
method of entry. Inquiries both by
mail or in person aro many, and not a
few of the inquirers at the ofllce aro
those who are onroute to tho reserve
by team to look over tho land and per
haps pick out tho tract for which they
may apply.
Harry Franklin, a man about thirty
years of age, was picked up in an alley

being a tramp, but on account of sick

picked up was penniloss.
