Thirty-one years ago, or to bo more exact, on April 4th, 1883; Engineers Will .Stuart, George Austin, Charley Ell, Will Whitlock, Frank Tracy nnd other members of Division 88, B. of L. E., decided that n May Party, given under the nuspiccs of the Division, would prove an appreciated social tunc tion. Arrangements were nt once made on an elaborate scale, 500 invitations, printed in gold, were issued, and tickets were sold at five dollars each, this price including supper for tho ticket holder and one lady. The pnrty was held at the Pacific hotel, and was attended by society folks from Cheyenne, Sidney, Grand Island and Omaha. This May Party proved such a signul success that the Division concluded to make it a yearly event. Through tho long neriod of yoars since 1883 this annual uvent has been held with out a skip, and has oyer been considered the one great yearly social function in North Platte. It has never been tho aim of the Divi sion to make money out of tho May Party the idea being to give tho peoplo tho best of everything regardless of cost. Some years the expenses were greater than the receipts, other years the opposite was true, so that on the whole tho Division has just about "played even." As the society folks of the earlier yoars looked forward to the May Party witn pleasant anticipation, so do the society folks of today, and the an nouncement that the thirty-second annual party will be held Friday even ing, May 1st, 1914, is sufficient to insure an attendance of dancers that will fill the floors and of spectators that will crowd the galleries. H. A. Lawhead, chairman of the arrangement committee, has selected his sub-committees and the work of preparing for this always pleasant event is well under way. That the pnminrr nnrtv will ho itn tn tha iiotntri- Siry high standard, there is no question. A. A. Schntz loft the first of the week for Minneapolis.

X63el tso W J-s Hiiil 364 Improve Your Figure f at- When Mayor Evans, on behalf of the city, made-the offer to haul awny with-1 out charge all the rubbish which projJ-fi erty owners mignt collect on the r nre-i mises and dump in the alleys, ho con tracted a pretty good sized job. From one alloy extending from Locust street to the west limits of the city, thirty four big wagon loads were removed. If nil the alleys were as prolific as this particular one, it would result in about lUOO wagon loads of rubbish and debris. However, by taking advantage of tho mayor's order the town will bo more clennly than for several years. There will be a less smell, fewer flics and better of all, less disease. It. A.
