This continttation Is dtto to tno ract that subscriptions havo not been as freely mndo as was hoped, unu tins to uomo extent is duo to lack of organization in somo of the outsldo precincts, in those precincts m wnicu woritors got busy tho result has boon vory gratifying. In Wallaco ; precinct, for Instance, tho subscript , Hons amounted to $G87, in Osgood, the amount subscribed was $4G4, in Soll jors It was $1G9.

Since then, howovor, subscriptions have been received from both city and country anu tno total is abovo $8,000. In North Platto tho amount con tributed is about three fifths of Its apportionment and tho doflcit comes largoly through tho fact that fully 300 men Iwho woro expected to glvo ton dollars each, gavo on an avorago of ono dollar each; somo giving from $2 to $5 while others refused to glvo d ponny. A largo majority of theso could glvo $10 each without causing them any sacrifice.
