IS .M'' tm-'WitMu rtta TWENTY-NINTH YEAR. NORTH PLATTE, NE13., FEBRUARY 27, 1914. No. 11 Jprtfe mktts j$ Large Number Attends Second C. of C. Banguet Over a hundred twenty-fivo men at tended the second get-to-gether ban quet of the Chamber of Commerce which was held last evening at tho Christian church parlors. The topic of the evening was the lighting proposi tion for North Platte and the question of tho franchise was very widely dis cussed. The men all enjoyed a fine supper served by the ladies of the church and nfterwards a smoker. The speakers of tho evening were J. W. Parrish and Willis Todd, repre sentatives of the Union company which recently purchased tho light plant here, and Mr. Allen, representa tive of tho general electric company. They all spoke largely on tho franchise for which the company is asking and explained it very largely, showing where it would be a benefit to tho city. The franchise will bo submitted to the voters in "the spring and it is meeting with coesiderable disapproval, largely because it is misunderstood and because of prejudice. Considerable discussion arose over this point and the speakers were answered by Senator W. V. Hoagland, W. A. Tanner, editor of the Workers' Nows, and some other speakers. Mr. Hoag land took up the franchise ordinance clause at a time and attempted to show wherein it was of little benefit to the city. Ho and Mr. Tanner both spoke largely against it. Mr. Todd an swered Mr. Hoagland by saying that nearly anthing could be torn down by brainy men, citing the fact that the bible was torn to pieces by Robert Ingersoll, and he emphasized the fact that the company would do the right thing and that the ordinance as drafted gave the company no unlimited power. The banquet was largely a success and was much enjoyed by all the men present. Th" spirit of good fellowship prevailed and the crowd present testi fied as to the growing popularity of the get-together affairs. Brotherhood- Organized. - Tsventy-two man attended the meet ing held Wednesday evening at the Episcopal chapel for the purpose of organizing a men's brotherhood in that church. The men are very enthusiastic and the organization promises to become popular in the city. They plan to hold another meeting in the near future and plan some work for the future. The following officers were elected at the Wednesday night meeting: Presi dent, J. Guy Swope; vice-president, J. S. Hoagland; secretary, E. W. Mann; executive committe, II. Munger, 11. Dirge and E. Dickey. Two Ask Divorce. Two divorce cases were up before Judge Grimes in the district court Wednesday and Thursday. The first was the case of Louella Cole vs. Guy Cole, a suit for divorce on the grounds of extreme cruelty and non-support. The couple was married in this city on October 13, 1911, but since that timo they have moved out of the county. The plaintiff asked for divorce and any relief equity would require. Divorce was refused on account of their being non-residents of the county. The Hecond case was that of Drusa Indianola Novolc vs John Anton Noyok. The plaintiff alleged non-support, ne glect and extreme crueltv. Tho couple was married at Gothenburg on Novem ber 14, 1912 and the plaintiff alleges that shortly after the marriage the de fendant began treating her with ex treme cruelty and that he used abusive language to her. That he neglected her before and after their child was born and .failed to make provision for caring tor the child. She asked for divorce and the custody of the child, a small baby. The judge took the case under advisement. Out of I lore )ou flW. Oiler ?LIIV1 w. - - - MJJjSiKP Local and Personal Wer'e Pretty Angry.
