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.
It is estimated that 800 residents of
North Plattejregistered, and that 1200
former soldiers were registered by
others through power of attorney.
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.

The Story of "Madame X".
"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.
