A fair sized crowd attended tho

Several of tho local pastors took part
in tho oxerclses as did Lew C. Harris
the evangelist.
Tho sermon was
, given by Rev. H.

Methodist Church and was a strong
plea for a'real Thanksgiving for tho
many blessings wo Nebraska peoplo
aro enjoying. Tho choir furnishod

Thojplans for tho foundation of

aro based upon tho findings of tho
engineer who Iiaa been horo for
somo timo and who has mado ex
tensive tests of tho soil horo. The
pla,ns call for 158 piling to bo driven

By that wo understand ho means un
til thoy will go no further. Eacn

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

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

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. No largo crowds
are .proscNit and tho trial proceeds
in its own quiot way. Tho evidence
for tho prosecution is being give
and it is thought that, it will bo com
pleted by this ovoning or tomorrow.
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
