A large number from this city attended and a number of the promi nent farmers and business men from oyer the county were present and several othors sent in letters to be read at the meeting. A nice supper was served at 7 o'olock by the ladies of the Presbyterian church and it was followed by n smoker. Pres ident E. F. Seeborger, who presided in the capacity of toastmaster, then in troduced the speakers of the evening and after they had responded tho dis cussion was further carried on by dif ferent men from over the county re sponding with impromptu talks. Music for the occasion was furnished by Stamps' Orchestra. Attorney J. G. Heeler was the first speaker and he Bpoke largely upon the need of a now court house from the economical standpoint and for the safety of the valuable records that are housed at tho present court house and all are in danger of destruction by fire. The Inadequacy of tho present court house for the accomodation of the county officers was also emphasized. He then took up tho question of a cam paign for a new court house and discussed the former campaigns and told of their failure on account of the hardships a bond issue would work upon the citizens of the county. He told how the proposition could easily be handled by a special levy not tocxeceed five mills for n term of five years. The contract could be let as soon as the first levy was made. This speech was followed by the reading of letters from a number of the citizens of the county who were unable to be present. These letters were all more or less in favor of a new court house and the men all wished to be placed in the class of boosters for a better, ricl'er Lincoln county. Col. William Beatty from Brady Island was then cnlled upon and ho gave a good boosting talk in favor of the project. He Bpoko as a taxpayer and as a representative of tho men in the community in which ho lives. He em phasized the fact that it would build up North Platto and in this way would build up the rural communities and the other townBiin tho county. He voiced the sentiment of a number of tho resi dents of Bra,dy Island as thy had been expressed to him and clnssed himself as a booster to the project. Architect Gernandt, who built the new Lexington court house, was then called upon and gave somo interesting figures as to the cost of a new building for this county and also gave an iden of the material that would be used. He brought with him a drawing of a build ing that would be adequate for this county anil submitted it for tho inspec-' tion of all present. He estimated the cost of a building at $100,000. Senator W. V. Hoagland was then called upon to give the facts and fig ures from the standpoint of taxation by a special levy. He advocated the ne cessity of a rest room for the accomo dation of tho farmer's v wives and in this way givo them more of the benefits of the now building. Ho then took up the question of a special levy and showed what a nominal Bum it would cost each taxpayer. "Tho assessed valuation of Lincoln county" said Senator Hoagland, "is approximated $5,GOO,000. A levy of four mills for five years would make $112,000 which would bo more than enough for building. The Union Pa cific railway company would pay on this amount $5,40G per year, or a total of $27,480. The Burliugton would pay an annual tax of $1,312 for this pur pose or a total of $G,5G0. These two would pay more than one-third of the cost of building, leaving only two-thirds for the citizens of the county to pay. Tho First National Bank would pay an annual tux of $102.54 or n total of $512.70. The average assessed valua tion of each taxpayer is not over $1,500.

PlcDONALD, President WM. II. McDONALD, Cashier W. E. STARR, Ass't Cashier This would leave them only $6 per year to pay or a total of $30 on the entire building." He then spoke of tho saving on in surance on account of having a tire proof building, the safety of the county records and the increase of land values. He also brought out tho fact that it would boost the county. Tho meeting was then turned over to a general discussion and several men were called upon. H. P. Stevens, C. A. Liston of Wallace, George Shoup bf Sutherland, George White of the Hershey vicinity, Frank Johnson of Wellfleet, J. C. Wilson of the North Platte vicinity, G. E. Gunderson of Hershey, Mr. Brown of Maxwell, James Abbott, Earl Brownfield and A. B. Yates of Hershey and C. P. Howard all responded and announced themselves as boosters. Some of them had come to the meeting "on the fence" and some of them opposed to the project, but all agreed upon the need of u new building. Senator Hoagland then proposed that a committee consisting of two men from each precinct and all tho editors in the county bo appointed to carry on an educational campaign and canvass the votes in their disttict to ascertain the sentiment nnd report to the Cham ber in order that they might find out if it were expedient to hold a special elec tion or wait until the fall election. After some discussion the motion carried by a unanimous vote. The meeting was the most enthusias tic that has yet been held and a spirit of good fellowship and thegetto-gether spirit prevailed during the entire even ing. Among the country residents present were J. C. Wilson nnd N. B. Spurrier, of Nichols, Jake Koch, D. M. Leypoldt, J. W Abbott and Earl Brownfield of Hershey, Geo. Shoup, A. B.
