Tho Fidelity Llfo Association of
JTebmskn
Desires to say to the people of North
Platto and Lincoln county that we
have been very much pleased with tho
reception and the business that we
havo received from you up to tho
present date.
In our ilrst year, 1913, there
wero G4 companies doing business in
Nebraska ranging in ago from five to
soventy-llvo years. Only 21 of these
companies gained as much insurance
as the Fidelity and 42 of them less.
In 1914, our second year, there wero
G7 companies doing business In the
state; only 17 of which got as much
Insurance as wo did, and we beat the
other fifty. It is with the people of
North Platto who contemplate taking
policies with us to see one of our
agents during tho Temalning days of
tho year and give us your nppllca
ton, for whllo we are certain from tho
volume of business we havo done
during tho year to move several num
bers closer to tho head of the Nebras
ka list, yet every policy that wo re
ceive Increases our standing for tho
year by that amount. Will you not as
sist us In placing the Fidelity as near
tho head of tho list as possible? Wo
havo Increased ourassets by more than
$30,000.00 during tho year, as our
coming statement will show. We havo
paid all our claims promptly and every
agent, is uomg ns unnosi lo close Uio

ASKS $2.-,000 FOR
ALIEMATIOX OF AFFECTION.
Jasper O. Mahaffey filed his petition
In the district court Tuesday after
noon in a suit against John T Stuart
and hs wife Frankle Stuart for $25,000
damages for the alienation of his
wife's affection. Tho petition recites
that Mahaffey married Miss Irene
Stuart in Denver October 27th, that
they went to Omaha immediately
Vhereaftex whore ho furnished her
support and care. That after the mar
riage his wife was satisfied; that she
was a kind, loving and devoted wife
and that they enjoyed each other's
society."
It is alleged that the defendants, the
parents of; his wife, were opposed
to tho marriage, and that they spoke
dlsrcpectful of him, and tried to dis
suade, prejudice and alienate his
wife's affections from him. On Novem
ber 21st Ills wife came to North Platte
to visit her parents and they continued
to speak disrespectful of him and to
prejudice his wife and incite her
against him and that finally on Decem
ber 20th, while he was away from Om
aha his wife removed her personal
effects from his homo and returned to
her parents, since which time she has
not communicated wth him and has
failed to return to his home.
Thus deprived of the comforts of
homo and the society of his wife ho
asks the court to award him damages
in the amount of twonty-flve thousand
dollars.

Shipping In Laborers
Tho Omaha Bee Is authority for tho
statement that ono hundred men will
be sent from that city to North Platto
this evening to work on tho lco har
vester rather at the Union Pacific
ico houses. Wo aro not advised as to
whether tho Union Pacific attempted
to secure local laborers for this work
or not; If no' attempt has been made,
tho Importation of these Omaha men
is certainly an injustice to the work
ing men of North Platte and immedl
at vicinity.
Wo don't know anything about the
calibre of tho men who aro expected
to arrive tomorrow, but If they aro of
tho class that was shippel In last
year, they will bo a mighty tough lot.
