A cablegram received by Mrs.. A. F.
Streitz Sunday night announced the
death of her brother, Alex Stewart, in
Paris Sunday morning. Mr. Stewart
had been in Door health for the past
year with heart and kidney trouble, but
lately was improved and to make
further progress to full recovery was
advised by physicians to take a trip to
Europe and remain for some time at
certain springs in Germany. Antici
pating much benefit from this trip, Mr.
Stewart and wife and daughter sailed
from New York June 10th, little
realizing that a few days after landing
on foreign shores the summons would
come.
Having lived in North Piatteover
twenty years, Mr. Stewart was well
and favorably known to all our older
residents, and while it was known that
his physical condition was critical, the
news of his death, was as unexpected
as it was regretable. North Platte felt
proud over the ascendancy of Mr.
Stewart in railway circles; from an ap
prentice boy in the local shops to the
superintendency of motive power and
equipment of one of the largest railway
systems in the country, is an advance
ment that comes to but one in many,
many thousands and his Buccess was
fairly and meritoriously won. In
every position he held ho was popular
with the men under him; he recognized
their rights, he treated them fairly and
thus won their loyalty to him and the
company which he represented.
Upon news of the death, the Southern
System cabled its representative in
Paris to render all possible assistence
to the bereaved wife and daughter.
It is expected that the remains will
reach Washington Sunday, and Mrs.
Streitz and Mrs. Stewart's mother ex
pect to loave Wednesday for that city.
Alexander Stewart was born at
Springfield, Ills; Feb. 22nd, 18C8. As
a small child he came with his parents
to North Platte in 1870. He served his
apprenticeship in the machine shops of
the U. P. Rail Road in this city.
Possessed of considerable mechanical
ability he rapidly advanced, being suc
cessively foreman of Bhops at Sidney,
Evanston, Larimie, North Platte and
Assisstant Supt of Motive Power at
Cheyenne, from which place he went to
Knoxville, Tenn, in 1902, to become
Supt of Motive Power for the northern
district of tho Southern Rail Road.
Then advanced to Birmingham on the
southern district and became superinten
dent of motive power and equipment
for tho entire Southern System with
headquarters at Washington, D. C, in
1901, which position he held at the time
of his death. In 1889 he was united in
marringe to Miss Mamie Mitchell, of
Lexington, Neb. To mourn his loss he
leaves his wife, his daughter Eleanor
and his sister Mrs. A. P. Streitz of this
city.
Discuss Building Plans. .
At the close of the morning service
at the Methodist church the proposed
plans for the building of an addition on
tho building were put beforo the mem
bers for discussion and suggestion of
changes. The improvements called for
in the plan, will cost about twelve
thousand dollars and will be a big im
provement in the church property.
The matter has nlready been taken
before tho different organizations of
the church and they have approved of
the plant) as they stand. However,
nothing definite wss done nt the meet
ing Sunday morning. The plans were
thoroughly discussed and action was de
ferred until they find out more defin
itely if the church as n whole wants
to build."
At the close of the evening services
the regular quarterly conference was
held. Dr. Hammond was to have.beon
present but he was unable to do so on
account of illness. Rev. Raymond
Rush, tho conference evangelist, was
present and gave a nice address and re
mained lor the conference. Only the
routine business was transacted at tho
conference.

The meeting of the North Platte
Cemetery Asociation at the library,
Wednesday evening, July 1st, was
called for the purpose of giving the
stockholder an opportunity to learn the
facts concerning the affairs of the
association and to help plan for the
future of it. Every lot owner is a
stockholder and ought to be sufficiently
interested in this matter to attend the
meeting and thereby show a desire to
co-operate with the officers in improv
ing the cometery.
A new fire hose was placed in the
lower hall of the court house Saturday
for protection by fire. The court hou:e
was piped for fire protection some timo
ago and the hose arrived only recently.
Undoubtedly this is a big improvement
over running the risk of having to put
out a fire with buckets, but how much
better anew modern, fire proof building
would be.

Who Got the Worst of It?
A man once had 75 cents and wanted a dollar. So he pawned
his 75 cents for half a dollar, and then sold the ticket to a friend
for 50 cents. He now had his dollar, the pawnbroker had the,
75 cents and the friend had the ticket. Who got the worst of the
deal?
After you have solved this out to your satisfaction, we want to
remind you that if you wish to avoid getting the worst of it. and
want to be dead sure of getting the best of it, when comes to buy
ing your Lumber and Building Material, you'll find our yard about
the safest place to tie up to in these parts.
It will only take two minutes of your time to prove this.

The Only Fifth Wheel Farm Wagons ton the Market
Tho International fifth wheel (patent applied for)
is worth a trip to town to see. Because it prevents
tho pulling up or pitching of tho front bolster, it is
one of the best improvements ever put on the farm
wagon. It means no more bent and broken king

life for the wagon, and easier work for the horses.
