Bold Burgulars Make Hauls. Burglariously inclined individuals who seem to be making North Platte their temporary headquarters, not disheart ened by the ineffectual attempts made Saturday night, pursued their vo cation with renewed vigor Sunday. Tho victims wore Mrs. Smith at the Hinman lodging housi, Mr. and Mrs. Perry Carson and R. L. Hosford. At the lodging house they entered Mrs. Smith's private room and ransacking a dresser draw made way with nearly one hundred dollars in cash and three dia mond rings on which she placed a value nf nhnnt fivo hundred dollars This robber occurred liuiing-the founoon while Mrs. Smith was engaged in work in a different part of tho. house. It is thought that the thief was some one who had applied for and been given lodging. At the Carson residence ths burglary occurred between eightand nine o'clock in tho evening. The thief obtained en trance during the absence of tho in mates by cutting a screen and forcing up the window sash. The haul made consisted of a pearl ring and a revolver belonging to Mr Carson, seven dollars in cash from Mrs. Carson and eighteen dollars from R. L. Hosford, a roomer.. William Turpie Passes Away.

This is about twico tho number estimated more conservative guessers a advance of tho registration, convervative prognosticators know how eager people are for G10-acro tracts of farming and grazing lands in tho greatest health-giying climate in the world; tho people have road of wes tern Nebraska, and they nre anxious to become residents. This is the land of sunshine, sunflowers and sandhills why shouldn't people bo healthy and prosperous? The dotails of notaries at tho North Platte registration booth welcomed Sunday: thoy had put in a very strenu ous week and needed tho rest. Thoy had filled out nearly sixteen thousand cards properly and quickly; had smiled sweetly on tho women who registered, gave words of encouragement to the fellowa who, learning of the total regis tration, thought thoir chancos of draw ing a claim was slender, and answered thousands of questions cheerfully. These notaries were busy, 'tis truo, but at tho end of tho week each had the consolation of knowing that his share of the fees was not much short of one hundred and fifty dollars. The booths for tho sscond week of the registration opened promptly at 12:01 Sunday night, and the assembled crowdjwas not short of 800. Theso were run throngh and another big bunch lined up after tho arrival of train No. 3. Then there was a lull until train No. 13 yesterday morning when about 300 came in; two hours later No. 19 brought in a couple of hundred; trains from the west brought in liberal delegations, and fifty or more automobiles arrived with loads. The crowd was not quite as largo as on Monday of last week, but it was sufficiently largo to keep the streets well crowded all day. Tho afternoon and evening trains brought in fairly good sized crowds, and the total for tho day was satisfactory to all concerned. raxKft? .I'm imW&mll $ si v ' rf wfc" &?. .

Although there has been some rainy, cool weather the past week tho pro gress of tho evangelistic meeting at the Christian church lias been lino in every way. Sunday was another successful day. The second Bible school rally was held when Mr. Whiston spoke to the whole school on "Building." He said Jesus Christ is the foundation and if the foundation wo build on is not sure and firm, although we strive to make, a beautiful superstructure, it is bound to fall. He illustrated! the power of habit by threads. One thread was very easy to break, but as ho increased the number it finally became impossible to break them. So habits grow on a person and tho older tho harder to break. Ten were added to tho Biblo school rally, seven boys and young men and three young women. The morning service was a very help ful one. Mr. Knowles and Mrs. Demick sang a beautiful duot, after which Evangelist Whiston gave his sermon "Vision and Service." The evening soryico as usual was marked by a largo crowd, enthusiastic song service and a great sermon. Mr. Whiston's subject was a startling ques tion. Six wpro ndded at tho church sorvicos making a total of sixteen for the day and bringingthe total additions up to 89. Tho meetings will continue this week and will bo stronger and better than ever. Mr. Whiston has preached some semons but ho is setting in some of his best lecture sermons for this week. Another special feature for this week will be thu illustration of Chas. M.
