The Thirty-Second
Annual May Party.
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.

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.
