Clinton, The Jeweler We Want Your Repair Work Total Registration Was 76,689 The total registration for the land drnwlngjin the North Platte and Niobra ra roserves totaled 70,089. The registra tion at North Platte was 30,959, at Broken Bow 30.039 and at Valentino 16,691. The registration booths were open day' and night for just thirteen days, and the avorage daily registration at North Platto was 2,881, or a little less than ono 'hundred for every hour during the thirteen days.

This would mean that during the thir teen days nearly 28,000 strangers visited North Platte. During this time not a visitor was injured, there wero no drunken brawls in which they figured,, there was not a single case of pick-pocketing reported and there Wfas not a complaint made that anyone had been "held up" on prices for meals and lodging. Certainly North Platte well took care of the big crowd, and visitors who remained in town for a day or two wero not slow to compliment the town.. It is estimated that the visitors loft fully $100,000 in town, the greater part of which was garnered by the restau rants and saloons, though all classes of business benefitted more or loss. The fees received by the notaries amounted to $7,734. This sum less about $300 expenses will be divided betweei about twenty-five notaries.

"Madame X," that great mother love drama, with Miss Alice De Lane and Boyd B. Trousdale in the leading roles will be the attraction at the Keith theatre next Thursday evening. Jacque line, the wife of Louis Florlot, is driven from her home of luxury because she foolishly left him for another man, this having happened about two yenrs pre vious to the opening of the play. Sh'o repents and comes back, but Floriot re,? lentlesly orders her out of the house, keeping their young son Raymond with him. A later scene, twenty years have elapsed, shows Jacquollno living as a miserable woman, compelled to seek forgetfulness in the use of opiate3 and drugs, and drifting through tho days with nny one who will support her. Laroquo, an adventurer, with whom she is living, enters on a scene with two others to blackmail her former husband, n clew to his identity having been found by them. Rather than have her son learn of his mother's infamy, Jatqu'e line, in a quarrel with Lnroque, kills him, and is nfterward given a trial. Raymond, hor son, defends her. Re cognition' comes in the last act, the great court room sceno. His eloquent appeal to the jury saves the woman, but not her life. She craves forgive ness and obtains it, hut fato to punish her grants only a few moments of a wrecked life in which to enjoy the last full measure of a devotion that Is hers.
