BREW in ue ssme manner ns though serving
hot, only make a little stronger, as fhc addition
of ice -will reduce flic strength.
When cold, add a small quantity of lemon juice
and allow a few min slices of lemen to float on top.
Add sugar to suit taste. Use cake of ice large
enough to keep it thoroughly chilled.
FOR LAHGE QUANTITIES
use three ounces, of tea for each gallon of vat;r.
As a special favor from Chase & Sanborn we are able to
give to our Tea and Coffee buyers
A Handsome Four-Cup China Tea Pot
with every purchase of two pounds of Chase & Sanborn's
Coffee or one pound of Chase & Sanborn's Tea. The tea
pots will be limited one to a family as our supply will enable
us only to do so.
This is a treat that we are not able to offer very often as
these tea pots are direct from the Chinese potteries in the
heart of the tea growing districts.

Forty or fifty persons reponded Tues
day evening to n call for a meeting of
tho lot owners of tho North Platto
cemetery. This was the first formal
meeting th'o association hud held since
October, 1893, which can bo taken as
evidence that little intorost ha been
taken in the association by those di
rectly interested. Secretary Fronch
stated the condition of tho association,
showing the receipts and expenditures
and an existing balance of about $1800.
Lotowners present expressed their dis
approval of tho 'condition of the cem
etery and the sexton came in for rather
severe criticism, and quite naturally ho
defended himsulf. Tho opinion of thoso
present was that tho city should take
over tho cemctry and conduct it as a
municipal property. To this end a
committee was appointed which will
confer with tho city council. Thero is
no doubt but 'that the solution of the
cemetery quostion is ownership by the
city, in which event tho money now in
the association treasury would be con
tributed as an endowment fund.
A committee consisting of Harry
Dixon, Pr. V. Lucas and Miss Annie
Kramph was appointed to take tho mat;
tcr up with the council and they will
net in conjunction with tho officers of.
the association.

Controversy Over Road No. 28.
The county commissioners sat all day
ypsterday to hear a complaint on tho
H jwatd ro3d, road No.-$9 Tho road is
Joe ited on Garfield Table and hat boen
under dispute for many years. It was
established about twenty-eight years
ago and at the time it was thought to
be on the section line. However recent
surveys have provjn that it is about
twenty rods off the line.
Many civil cases have been the result
of the road for many years past.
County Surveyor Cochran was called
out there this spring to establish the
road, and he made a survey and showed
that the road was far off the line. Tho
civil suits and contentions had arisen
over the fact that the road as it stood
cut out several acres of land from some
faims while others had seyeial acres
added to them.
A petition wus presented to the
county commissioners by C. P. Howard
and others asking that ths road bo put
on the section line and between forty
and fifty witnesses were called. Tho
case lasted nearly all day and the com
missioners took tho caso under consider
ation and' later decided to have tho road
placed where it belongs.
T. F. Watts, late of this city who has
been assistant to the Union Pacific
special agent at Grand Island, has been
promoted to the position of special
agent at that point. Tho Daily Inde
depent says Mr. Watts has "shown
marked energy and ability in the dis
charge of his duties."
Tho Sunday schools classes of Misses
Lolia Scott and Jennie Lincoln of the
Presbyterian church were entertained
Wednesdny afternoon at an indoor
picnic in the basernent of the church.
The afternoon was spent with games
and contests and refreshments of ice
cream and cako wore served.
Will Enter Pleaof Guilty.
Geo. A. Brown, who was arrested
some time ago at Kearney on the chargo
of burglarizing the hardware store of
D. J. Antonides and tho C. O. D. Clean
ing establishment, has asked to bo al
lowed to appear before the district
court and enter a plea of guilty. Ho
was given preliminary hearing before
Ju&ge Grant some timo ago nnd entered
a' plea of not guilty and was bound
over to the district court on bonds of
500 which he was unable to furnish.
Since that time he had been held at
thecounty jail to await tho jury term
of district 8 urtnr.d this week ha askel
to bo allowed to chango his plea from
not guilty to guilty. Ho will probably
be taken bo fore Judge Grimes this
afternoon to enter his plea.
