T
. Dr, Quigley .Occupies Pulpit.
Dr. D. T. Quigley, of this jjty, who
has been attending the meeting of the
National Medical Association, was one
of the forty physicians of the countiy
who was selected to fill church pulpits
in Philadelphia last Sundny. Each
speaker took as his subject sanitation,
hygiene, remedial and preventative
measures and public health in general.
The Philadelphia Press gives this
mention of Dr. Quigley:
"If a pet you must have, get a pig.
The pig may not be so delicate and
sentimental an animal as the cat and
dog, and ho hns a disagreeable squeal
besides, but he is not a disease car
rier." Dr. D. T. Quigley, of North Plotte,
Neb., said this at tho Deveraux
Methodist Eiscopal church in a lecture
on the preventation of infectious and
contagious diseases.
It was especially in reference to the
"common cold" that Dr. Quigley men
tioned pets. He declared that the
V "common cold" was the worst disease
afilicting the human race and that not a
small part of the aflliction was at
tributable to the family cat and dog,
which so many boys and girls, nnd
even grownups, like to fondle."
The feather duster nlso came
in for criticism. The doctor called the
duster n "crime." He also said that it
had as much chance of cleaning dirt as
water had of remaining on n duck's
back. "What the featherduster really
does is to disturb the layers of dirt,
which are comparatively harmless
when undisturbed, and throws this
same dirt into the nasal passages and
Inner tubes of those near by."
Cancer and tuberculosis, he said,
were preventable and should, begin to
be prevented in tne child. "These
diseases give warning of their approach.
An insipient cancer is like a sliver in
one's finger, and all that is needed to
stop tho growth is timely medical at
tention. Tuberculosis also is curable
and thre would be no denths from this
disease if the children were properly
looked nfter."
Ball Game Sunday.
A good game of ball is promised at tho
park next Sunday when the home tenm
will face "the Kearney independent
team, composed of players whonre fast
yet just n little too slow to get into
state league company.
Manager Robinson is making good on
his promises made the early part of tho
season that he would give North Platte
"some ball" this season; in fact tro
games so far this season have been
above the average for amateurs. In
securing the Kearney team he has been
at more than the ordinnry expense,
and he nauraliy would like to see a big
crowd out next Sunday at 3 o'clock p.
m. He is satisfied that every attend
ant will get the worth of his money.
Complain of Road
A number of the residents of Cotton
wood precinct appeared before tho
county commissioners Wednesday to
complain of a road that was recently
laid out in that vicinity. Their con
plaint was filed with the commissioner
and'and it read to the effect that there
was a mistake in the laying out of t,ho
road. The rond was laid out accordirg
to a previous petition and they maintain
that there was a misrepresentation
when the other petition was circulated.
The complaint will be acted on by the
board and it seems to be the general
opinion that it will bo sustained. Those
who visited tho city to appear before
the board were J. J. O'Rourke, Mr.

A RESCUE
PARTY
B, EVERETT P. CLARKE
Three men in plains costume furry
trousers, woolen shirts and sombreros
sat about n campflro Btnoklng when a
horse wus seen in the distance gallop
li g toward them. It grew larger till
Its rider appeared, larger still till that
rider was seen to be n girl, and at last
they recognized little Inez, n "greater"
glil nbout seventeen years old, wtiosc
father nnd mother kept n place that
might bo called anything from n boaid
lug house to u tavern by tho roadside
seeinl miles awny.
'What's the matter, Inez?" all asked
at once.
Mim"-
Sho tried to go on, but failed.
"What about Jim?"
"The vlgilnntesl They got him. Ho
shoot Colorado I'etc."
'When wlfi ho swing?"
"1 don't know He whisper to mo
before they take him away: 'Go tell
tho hoys. I'll try to keep them from
hanging me till tomorrow. 1 tell them
I know -where Dedrlch Is.' "
The listeners looked nt one nnother.
Then one of them said to tho rest:
"Wouldn't 'n' shot anybody unless he
had n good reason. There's been so
much gun play hereabouts lately that
the committee has likely determined to
make an example, and .they've pounced
on Jim. We've got to help him out
that Is, if they don't do him before we
get there or are too many for us."
"Are you Jim's girl?" Inez was asked
"Yes."
"Well, you'd better go -with us. We
may need to use some stratagem, and
you mny help .us. Show tho way."
The men mounted, and the girl. lend
lug, rode over n distance of several
miles, when they came In sight of a
bivouac ahead. To avert any suspl
clon that might arise of tlielrbelng a
rescue party they diverged. Tho sun
had set. and dusk was coming on. They
rode to a point between which nnd the
vigilante camp rose a slight eminence,
where they would not bo seen, nnd,
halting, the men dismounted. Inez re
mained on her horse.
"What you going to do?" one of
them asked her.
"I'm uolng to see if Jim Is nllvo."
"Better wait till after dark." ,
It was with dilllculty that they per
.sundeil her to wait. The twilight had
barely faded when sho set oft In the
dreytIon of the camp. "When she came
near It she dismounted nnd, picketing
her horse, crawled on her hands and
knees till she came near enough to see
by tho light of the campfire four men.
They wore moving about evidently
preparing for a night bivouac. On the
ground lay a figure, doubtless bound
hand and foot, which sho felt sure was
their prisoner. Then she went back to
her horse and, mounting him, rode to
her friends.
"Jim is alive yet." she said. "We
can do it. riiere are just as many
as we."
"Three?"
;Xo: four."
"Oh. you count yourself as one."
"Ve can steal on their camp, make
a big noise and stampede them. Then
we cut .1 tin's cords, give hltn u gun.
and wo all mount and run away."
"See hero, boys." mild one of the par
ty; "! d.ui't lll.c this interfering with
vigilantes. It's till right for the time
being, but all "good citizens will turn
out to hunt us down. We must find
some other way of working It."
"I tell you what I'll do," said Iiiyz.
"You men go camp near by tho vigi
lantes. I stenl up close by Jim. You
have gun play among yourselves. Tho
vigilantes think they are attacked. I
cut Jim's cords, give him a gun, nnd he
shoot some at nobody, then run away.
Nobody know you have anything to do
with It."
"Good giri: That's a line plan!"
In order to give tho vigilantes time
to get to sleep-that Is. all but perhaps
one of their number, who would bo de
tailed to watch tho prisoner they did
as Inez suggested. It was agreed that
sho was to crawl to within some fifty
foot of her lover with a sharp knlfoand
two guns one for herself, the othei
ror Jim and when she "hoard a shot
among the rescue party sho was to
push forward to Jim. out his cords
yid hand him a gun. Having Klvon
her time to do this about a minute
they would begin a fusillade among
themselves without Intent to Injure
one nnother.
Inez, crawling forward, was soon
lost In the darkness. That she might
have plenty of time they gave her
half an hour. Then one of them fired
the signal shot. After counting sixty
slowly ho tired iignln. and two other
shots wore fired in quick succession
Rapid firing followed, tho men mount
ing their horses nt the same time.
Presently several shots were ht'ard
In the direction of the vigilantes'
camp, and a few minutes later Jim ap
peared among bis rescuers carrying
Inez. The others helped him to mount,
put Inez In his arms, and, still firing to
drown the sound of their horses' hoofs,
all rode away. r
"See here. Jim," said one of the res.
euei-s when they hnd gone far enough
to feel safe and found that Inez's hi. I
Jury was nothing more than a flesh j
wound thnt was not dangerous;
"there's a parson down at tho bridge. I
Beckon we'll go down thero for a wed
dine" I
"You bet!" said Jim.
Inez consented, nnd tho wedding
took plnco then. Tho brldo nud groom
changed their residence to parts Tin-known.

A Few Pointers on How to Make
Money.
Take a silver dollar and drop it on a jeweler's showcase, and
you'll get; a ring. Wad a dollar bill up in your hand and then lay
it out flat; you'll find it in-creases. Cut a quarter in two in the
middle and you'll get two halves. Take a two dollar bill and fold
it once, and you double it. Thus you can keep on monkeying
with your money and makejmaginary capital by the barrel.
The SUREST WAY to make REAL MONEY, though, is to buy
all your Lumber and Building Material from us. We have a
