The Most Practical Watch for Ladies is the Wrist Watch. It is of course primarily a Ladies need, though in these dnys when most men go "vcstless" in summer, it's no novel ty to sec a watch strapped to a man's wrist. Our desire here now, is to bring our stock of Bracelet Watches before EVERYBODY who is interested In the sub ject, For in our opinion wc have a very desirable showing of this style of lime piece. Wc personally chose them. We made sure that as an adornment they would appeal to those who "like novelty. Also we made it a point to sec that these watches will give a good time service. Let us show them to you. CLINTON, Jeweler and Optician. THE SIGN TYITII THE DIG KING. v .-4 0. H.

I Tho official canvass of voU s cast In J tho lato election show that the dm amendment carried by a majority of 1011 In Lincoln county, tho vote be ing 2101 for and 1183 against. The most sanguine dry advpeato Hid not place tho majority above. 1000, so that U10 county did somo bettor than the most enthusiastic oxpected. Tho total voto on tho nmondniont for anil ngalnst was 3377, while the total voto of tho county was 4005. It Is therefore apparent that 028 voters In tho county did not voto on the proposition ono way or tho other. This is a little strange, ns tbo amendment scorned to be tho one real Issue in the county.

Calvin Given Swift Ride. ' President Calvin, of tho Union Pa cific, was given a swift ride tho bitter part of last weok when his spoclnl was run from North Platte to Omaha at a rate of ovor a mllo a mlnuto. In cluding -stops nnd 11 dolny due to a slow moving pasengor train ahead, Mr. Calvin expressed hlmsolf as well pleas ed with the mannor In which tho boys handled tho train.

Officers again spread the ding nrt for boot loggers Saturday and for tho third time caught Myrtle McClcllan and Jim ErsUlnc. Tho Mndlson room ing houso wasNfllded and John Little, who hnd a quart of whhkey In his 'possession arrosted. In court Little swore that ho had purcliasod IW10 whis key of Myrtle McClellan and Jim Er sklno, and County Attorney Glbbs Hied an Information ugalnst thorn. This Is the third Information that has been filed against this couplo, and to say tho least, they are becoming so notorious that their absence from North Platte would be much prefor ablo ito their presence. In tho first caso thoy were bound over to tho dlstrtct court, but on tho second and third counts they have not yet been nr rnlgncd. It Is possible that when the couplo receive their Just deserts In ho district court, they will conclude that North Platto Is a rather un healthy place for them. Wo Want That Championship Next week the North Platto high school foot ball team goes to Lincoln' to try conclusions with tho high school team of that cii-y. Should North Platte win, and chances are good, tho team will bo rightly entitled to the state championship. Last Saturday tho Lin coln high and tho Omaha high battlad to a six itolx tie, while last year North Platte, with no bettor team than this year, defeated Omaha which had a stronger team last year i;han this. If Lincoln couldn't defeat Omnha, It can't defeat North Platte, and our money Is on the championship coming to North Platte.4 ' North Platte must bo kept constant ly In the limelight and Just now It's up to Coach Baskin and his bunch of warriors. Last week wo secured tho governorship; next week wo want tho football championship then wc will figure on what other things wo wnntt. If North Platto 'a to be tho third city of tho stato we must keep everlastingly at work. ::o:: Ernnk DIstol Weds Miss Rontmnii Miss Annis Boatman of Anconn 111., and Frank Dlstol of this city, wore married Saturday afternoon 'In Goth enburg and returned tio'ro that even ing. This event, while liot'undXTJectod, came ns a surprise to their friends. The bride is a sister of B. B. Boaijman and was recently employed la the-local tel ephone office. She Is a very atractivo and agreeable young '.lady who has mado many friends during her resi dence here. Mr. Dlstol had been om-j ployed In tho Huffman cigar storo for! several years and recently accepted n position as manager of the Schwalger cigar store. Ho Is a steady andn diutttrious young man who Is popular with ovcry acquaintance. Mr. and Mrs. Dlstol will be at home ta their friends in the Fowles apartments on west Fifth street. ::o:: Wntch Us1 Expand. Improvements finished and started In North Platte this year total in mon ey valuo nearly six hundred thousand dollars. For a towta located) In tho short grass section of Nebraska the showing ought to bo considered good oven by thoso who may be a bil.. Jealous of our growth. But North Platto Is not swell-headed; It does not oven consid er that it lma nan a "boonv just a nlco steady growth that will be dupll- cn ed next year, nnd tho year after and so on until wo reach a population of 25,000 or 30,000 and have more whole sale and Jobbing concerns than any other Nebraska town- outside or Oma ha and Lincoln. : :o:: That Was nn Awful Jolt. Tw6 hours after The Tribune hnd said that western Nebraska had come back- as a winter rosort, Observer Shilling with fiendish glee hoisted tho cohl wavo Hag, caused It to snow on three succosslvo nights and then to further show his contempt for Tho Trlbuno's loyalty to tho country shoved the temperature down to ono below zero, the coldest November morning North Platte has, ever known. Just 1iy Shilling should thus treat as wo know not, for wo havo always ac corded ilum gentlemanly treatment, However, If he persists. In his nefarious work wo ll get ins nmo sure. Tho tracts of lnnd that Cody Is of ferlng for salo the 2t)tli or thi; month nt one-half nrlco nrc lor led Just west of town, fifteen tracts n the south Hie of tho track nnd cwm tracts nn the north side All lots nro on the south side of (he track. : :o:: DIstrIctCourt Next Week Tho Novembor. adjourned term of district court convenes next Monday, the lurors renortlnc Tuesday, There nro ono hundred and sovonty caacs on tho dockot, tho largest for several yoars. and among them aro olghteen stato cases, tho case of Roy Roberts, churged with murder, leardlng in In terest There was somo question ns to whci'hor Roberts would bo tried at I'hls teim, but now, so far as known, tho enso will bo heard, and It will probably consume several dnys.
