condition that he decided nn inquest

of violenco and he appeared to have
died a natural death.
He had been known there as Edward
Banker, but a search of the body re
sulted in tho finding of letters revealing
his identity, The letters also informed
the authorities of his relatives'
residence.
The father of the deceased has been
searching for his son for the past four
years and had not heard from him in all
that tira4J; When last heard of here,

years ago when a boy twenty years of
age and was employed in the shops
here.

Hi
Teachers Hold Annual Meeting.
Tho annual city teachers' meeting
was held Saturday at the central schoo'
building and was attended by all the
teachers of tho city. Tho meeting wns
for a social good time, to bring the
teachers in closer touch with one an
other, and also for educational
poses.
pur-
The program for the day consisted
of several scientific papers by the
teachers of the different scliools and
also talks of travel by a few of the
teachers who havo traveled through
different places of interest. These
talka were illustrated with post cards
and pictures of different scenes from
California, Yellowstone park and Den.
mark
A double quartette, made up of
teachers from the different schools,
furnished music for the occasion. A
combination chafing dish luncheon and
indoor picnic dinner was served by tho
lady teachers.
Consider Change of Schedule.
Claude Stockham, of Omaha, travel
ing passenger agent for the Union
racilic company, was in tho city last
week to investigate the advisability of
changing the leaving time of the North
River branch train from 8:00 to 9:30.
At present the train arrives in tho city
late in the evening and leaves at 8:00
the next morninc. and this does 'nnt
give tho peoplo who come to North
Platte time to shop. If tho change is
made, tho people from up the lino can
come into town in the evening and do
their Bhoping the next morning in time
to get home that day. The Chamber of
Commerce took the matter up some
time ago and recommended the change,
but it mot with some opposition among
a few of the residents in the outlying
towns on account of mail delivery. The
change, however, will not make any
material difference in tho delivery of
the mail.

Emily Bronte's Looks.
A discussion as to the personal ap
pearance of Emily Bronte reveals tho
remarkable fact that no one knows
anything about It since there is no au
thentic portrait in existence. When
Charlotte Bronte first saw George
Henry Lewes she said that he was
wonderfully like her sister Emily, but
this is unfortunate for Emily since
Lowes was very much Ilko a baboon.
Possibly the comparison was due to a
sisterly candor that so seldom errs on
the .side of mercy. Thanks to photog
raphy, the historlnn of the futuie will
not be In doubt as to the appearance
Of celebrities of the pioscnt generation,
but he Is likely to have his own opin

Tho new round house has been sup
plied with a half dozen lathes, drills

All these machines are driven by indi

overhead shafts, pulleys and belts, and
thus lessening the hazzard of accidents
to employee.
A frame building that was used by
the coratruction engineers has been
moved to a site adjacent to the new

these now lockers seemed to have been
overlooked. Lockers for tho round

fifty men. His subject was "A National

best over heard in North Platto and ho
dealt with the question in such plain
but chaste languago that it was inter
esting to all.
Tho devotional service, preceding tho
lectore, was conducted by Rev. J . L.
Barton of the Baptist church. After
the devotional service, Rev. Cram in
troduced tho speaker nnd ho spoke for
an hour and a half, bringing out facts
and statistics to prove his statements
and showing the extont of the peril
that is threatening tho nations of the
world.
At the close of the lecture, Dr.
Essort gave opportunity for members
to join tho national organization and
over one half of the men present re
sponded. The membership entitles them
to membership in a local organization,
should one be consumated, and also
pays their subscription to The Invoice,
a yoarly magazine put out by tho
National organization.
In the evening, the massmoetingwas
held at tho Presbyterian church and
was largely attendad. Dr Essert spoke
at this service on the aubioct. "The
Blackest Crimo in History." At tho
close oT tho service a number responded
to tho invitation to join the National

Thero aro more laborers out of em
ployment in North Platto this winter

condition arises from tho fact that dur

from tho country, having been attracted
hero by the demand for labor during
tho spring and early summor when
much building was in progress. Now
