Matches cause a largo number of fires, Thoy aro a constant sourco of danger unless groat caro Is takon ltf their handling. It Is always best , to keep them In a tin rocopticlo ot somo kind. Children should early bo J taught not to play with thom and that they are a causo of burned fingers. If the box of matches is kqpt 1iigh enough so that -the little children cannot reach them It may avoid a fire. A number of 'small fires aro started every year in North, Platte .which nro caused by children .playing with matches. Fresh eggs aro almost a curosity hero in North Platte. The reports from those who usually got In on the early markets are that thoy are get ting few eggs. Wo called at sovera? grocery stores, one day this week ilna In each case wore told that thoro are no fresh eggs coming In now. Occasionally a farmer brings . in fflt5 ih's'lteflor pickled' egesr! and most, of the supply in the mar kets hero are known as packing house eggs. They aro not froah enough to use on tho breakfast table Anyone who has and can supply fresh eggs in any quantity would do well to let It be known nnd ho could get better than the regular market price ' The District Court iJj spent the week since Monday in getting a jurj and presenting thetato's evidence in the case of .Victor Moss, charged with tho death of Mrs. Lenton. T"o caso Is being fought by both sides but there is a lack of interest on the part of tho people rn gonoral bo cause of tho fact that neither party wero woll known.

The jury was keptr togothor over Thanksgiving, attondlng tho football game In a body, but court was ad journed for the holiday. Tho case was resumed this morning. In a conversation with one or tho higher railroad officials regarding tho viaduct, ho said that everything is being done now to safeguard tho crossings and to facllitato tho move ment of trains over tho road, Ho said that except on the two main tracks, every engine must stop at tho Locust Street crossing and a man must walk over tho crossing ahead of tho engine. At tho same time tho gates aro lowered and tho warn lntr consr sounded. A watchman Is always on duty at this crossing, I threo mon being employed, each on an eight hour shift. Freight trains nro not allowed to close tho crossing for longer than Hvo minutes at a timo. If tho crossing 1b closed, long er 'thaa flvo minutes it should bo re ported and tho rcsponslbo employee will bo disciplined, Ho said that usually pooplo who wero waiting for a train to pass wero not reliable in their estimates of timo nnd that it always seemed longer than it really was. Dr. Frank Conlln of Omaha, spoke before tho Rotary Club last Monday, on tho gonoral subject of Cancers. Ho said that tho importance of tho sub Joct is shown by tho fact that whllo 90,000 of our boys gave their lives In battlo during tho World war, during tho Bamo months that tho war was on ovor 180,000 mon, women and children in tho United States alone died from cancor. In 'his talk ho stressed .five points ioHowb: Cancor Is not hered itary. Cancer is not contagious. Can cor Is a purely local disease in Its early stages. Irritation Is one ot tho commonest causes of cancor. A can- cor germ has not been found yet. lor, assisted by a clever chorus ot Theso five facts include about all that! ponies.
