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.

died Sunday morning at his ranch south
oast of town of pulmonary tuberculosis.

this trouble for a year more, and prior

The remains, accompanied by ths wife,
were taken to Columbus Sunday night
for interment.
The deceased was an uncle of Will and

Tho first week of the registration for
tho land drawing closed at midnight
Saturday with a total of 16,701 for
North Platte, 15,410, at Broken Bow
and 8.C28 at Valentine. 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.

The Revival.
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.
Sheldon's book, "In His Sttps." Mr.
Knowles will take 7 to 10 minutes
cither just bofore or after the service
each evening of the week to give the
pictures illustrating tho story of this
great book.
Everybody come every evening so as
to hear every good sermon, and see
every illustration. Tuesday night's
subject "Pharaoh Modernized." Wed
nesday night, "Sowing and Reaping,"
tho song "Whore is my "Wandering
Boy Tonight", will be illustrated.
Thursday night, "Tho Man on the
Fonce." All nre welcome.

ANSWER THE CALL
North Platte People Have Found
That This is Necessary.
A cold, n strain, n suddon wrench,
A little causo may hurt tho kidneys.
Spoils of backache often follow,
Or somo irregularity of the urine.
A splendid remedy for such attacks.
A modiclno that has satisfied thous
ands, Is Doan's Kidnoys Pills, a special
kidney remedy.
Many North Platto people rely on it.
Horo is North Platto proof.
August Ackorman, 221 S. Walnut St.,
North Platte, Nob., says: "I still, hold
a very high opinion of Doan's Kidney
Pills. I used them for backache, caused
by disordered kidnoys and had tho best
of rosults. It is over three three years
sinco I have had occasion to uso Doan's
Kidney Pills, but my health has been
fine since, not a symptom of ,kdney
trouble having bothered me."

An opqrnter found a lot of fun in it,
maybe. There was ti smull fire at
North Platto a night or two ago and
just for the fun of it, and In order to
send out fake news a message went
over tho wire that the registration
office had been burned together with
nil of tho records, leaving the convic
tion that nil tho3o registering at North
Platto would havo to "come uguin."
Pretty soon the mossngo, not intended
for general circulation, broke away
from its moorings and in a short time
tho story was in circulation as far east
as Grand Island. The North Platte
man had sent it out for fun. This
morning he indicated that ho had been
correcting tho roport for the past
twenty hours nnd that he wus having
moro fun out of it than he had bar
gained for. There was, of course, not
a bit of truth in tho report. Grand
