R. Terrv is Wanted for Wife r'Desertlon. Mrs. Terry camo to North Platte with photographs and asked tho polico department to help her find her husband. She tells a story that is so simple nnl straightforward that tho police believe it. Mr. Terry camo to North Platte in a nqw car,, on Sept. 24. Ho put the car in a local garago.and registered at a local hotel. In tho morning of the second day lie checked out at tlie hotel and lias not been seen j since. He left his car, his money in i the bank, his wife and two boys, Mrs. TqHt says ho Avas kind to her and tho ! ty'.Xf nnd never showed any signs of j wanting to get away. Mr. Terry was 3G years of .age.. He is described as being about five feet ton inches in height and weighing a bout 150 poundsHe had a vaccination , maj-k on .the left arm. His complexion .was'sandylwith his face Ihclinod to be slim. He had blue eyes and sandy hair. ' Tlie police are of tho opinion that ho would .have taken the car if lie had Wanted to, get away.

' GKT .READY FOR THE COMING l'LAY. ! ... t- Tfiore Is no doubt that "The Wishing-, Ring'" Is the best play over put on by local talent. Thcro Is a thread of plot, 'which in many ways suggests Maeterlinck's "Bluebird.'' The story has to deal with two children, who, Ilka Tyltyl nnd Metyl, fall Into slum-, her and go wandering through Story, Book Land In search of happiness and finally find happiness at home, just as Tyltyl and Metyl did. MJldr.ed Skinner and Mary Ellsworth assume tho rolos of tho children, and ' rlgfjt cleverly do they tako their parts. I Old? Mother Goose, strange to say, I seohis to nt Miss Floy Smith remark ably ijjvcll. Of course, no really up to dafy)lay would bo complete without a slpwhuck at tho suffragists, so Miss Sarfih Kelly 'becomes tho lender of thoflady "stiffs" in tho person of Mrs. Purnpkln Eater, and Miss Dorothy Hinman does littlo Bo-Peop most de lightfully. . Tho King of Hearts is naturally Horsey Welch, who looks and acts tho P't to the Queen's taste, tho queen 'being Miss Marjorlo Russell. Miss Esther Antonlules with her tuneful voice is Mary Mary, Quite Con trary .and hor garden of thirty roso bud girls is qulto tho sweetest thing in gardens yet discovered. She has the whole bloomln' bunch daisies nnd popples, bluebells and roses! and when .they begin their danco they have ' the Jntest dances to a marshmnllow, J Then among tho other alluring ' sights will be tho French Gavgtte J danced with all tho statoly graco of their- grand-dames by a bunch of j twelvo year-old girls; tho ballets of, the Nymphs, and Roses; tho Snow drops, and llio follies; tho dnnco of. Moon Beainynnd. a lot of others too numerous to mention. Then ihcfo are many catchy molo-j dies, the alluring titles of spmo of them belngi. j "Tho Garden of Roses nnd Love," 1 "Ask tho -Flowers to T.clt You." "Ddfrt Cry, Bo-Peop," and J 'JTluf Suffering Suffragettes.'' THANKSGIVING CELEBRATION THE DAY IS OBSERVED IN MANY WAYS IN NORTH PLATTE.
