The tax levy in North Platte is twenty
mills less than in the city of Lincoln.
The combined levy in North Platte is
seventy-six mills, in Lincoln it is ninety
six. The cry of the high taxes in North
Platto is not justified when compared
with other cities and town in the state.

Locals Trim Another
State League Team.
In the fastest game played on the
local field this season, North Platto de
feated tho Columbus state league
team Wednesday by a score of five to
four. The game was a most interesting
one from first to last, and with men on
bases every inning both teams were
constantly "on their toes" and the spec
tators alive with expectancy. North
Platte secured its five runs in the first
and second innings, three in tho first
and two in the second, when Artley,
the Columbus pitcher, was taken out
and Bono put on the mound. After
that it was a string of goose eggs for
the local team. Columbus scored once
in the third, once in the fourth and
twice in tho eighth. In the ninth
inningwith the score five to four and
one manwijbase, Columbus sent its
pinch hitttJr to bat, but McClure struck
him out, as he also did the following
batter, and the stuff was off. North
Platte secured ten safeties, while
Columbus safely connected seven times.
Each team made one error. McClure
pitched a magnificicnt game of ball,
and when pinches came he was there
1 1 the proper form.
This game again demonstrated tho
strength of thu North Plutte team;
that it is the equal of any of the state
league can scarcely be questioned.
The baby show at the Keith will close

Otto Messmer. the north side farmer,
marketed 200 watermelons Wednesday,
some of them weighing forty ponnds
each. It looks as. though Messmer was
about to wrestle from Jim Bechan, also
of the north side, the title of "water
melon king." Both are very successful
melon growers.

regretted by a large circle of friends.

raised from a slough. Mr. Lute is ir
rigating forty acres of beets with the
wuter thus obtained. This method of
irrigation is attracting much attention

ber of sales in the near future.
The following dispatch from Minden

The corn crop is as near a total failure
in Kearney county as it can be. The
stalks are being cut up for feed. Corn
binders are running night and day. Hoy
is very light. Only comparison that ii
made is with the year 1891. Corn is
being bought at 80 cents a bushel and
ground corn ic bought at $1.50 per 100
pounds. No highpr price has ben
known in the history of the county.
Wheat is not being sold, farmers keep
ing It for feeding purposes.

The voters of North Platto Inst Tues
day ngain registered their disapproval
of bond issues, though tho vote this
week was not so pronouncod ns on sev
eral previous occasions. Thero were two
propositions before the voters, one for
$20,000 for the erection of a city hall and
fire house, tho other for $10,000 for pav
ing street Intersections and alleys. On tho
first named proposition three-fifths of
all votes cast must bo favorable in order
to enrry, and while tho proposition re
ceived a majority of all votes cast, It
did not quite receivo the necessary
three-fifths.
Bonds for paving required only n ma
jority vote, but the proposition failed
to receivo the necessary number of
votes.
Sunday base ball, by far tho loast im
portant of the three propositions, went
through with a whoop, and won out
handsomely.

wards was as follows:

Practice Must be Stopped.
Wednesday evening the carcass of n
dead horse was deposited in tho bed of
the south river a short distance east of
the bridge and within a half mile of tho
city limits. This is in direct violation of
tho state law, tho offender is liable to
bo mulcted a big stack of silver dollars
should some one make complaint, and
complaint will be made if the practice
is not stopped instantor. The deposit
ing of carcasses of dead animals so near
a much traveled highway is extremely
ofrensivo to travelers and also residents
of the south part of town, and is n
menance to tho health of tho latter.

taught how to get greater results with
less expense and labor. These men
are not theoretical, thoy nro prncticil;

on farms, know what has been done on
farms, know what is possible to do if
tho beat methods are applied.
The object of these meetings iB to
got together in conference to relate
their experiences in tho different
classes of work, to advise with nnu
counsel ench other. Their sessions
have shown that thoy are wonderfully
interested in their work, earnest in their
endeavors to ndvance agriculture in all
its lines. Many of the -addresses de
livered aro made more emphatic by
charts and illustrations, and there is
no chance to question whether the
speaker understands his Bubject. The
subjects treated havo been varied, cov
ering the experimental work in all its
phases. Among tho nttondants nre

dopartment nt Washington.
