was tho largest wo have over seen.
It must have been three inches from
toe o toe. Ho said it was in a small
alfalfa patch, near the ice house and
went into a hole which was almost
two feet deep. It is a harmless variety,
having a sting which it uses on its
prey and In defense but which is
-probably no more poisonous to human
beings than a bee sting.. It feeds. .on
flies and other winged InsectB which
gets in Its simple web or which it

Whereas the Supreme Court of Che United States recently decided that the South
ern Pacific should be compelled to divest itself of the Central Pacific Railway because
of the policy of the Southern Pacific to favor transportation on its line by securing
for itself, where practicable, the carriage of freight which would normally move east
ward or westward over the shorter line of the Central Pacific Railway and its connect
ions, for its own much longer haul over the Southern Pacific through New Orleans
and to the Atlantic coast over the company's lines, tjius depriving the Nebraska rail
roads of the natural and proper income which they should receive on east and west
bound trans-continental freight; and j -. ., rfr w-$$88LWWS5BR'
Whereas. North Platte and western Nebraska are vitally affected by any movement
or influence which would adversely affect trans-continental shipments on Nebraska
railroads, and which would tend to increase or justify higher rates on local ship
ments; and that any such adverse action is detrimental to the best interests of the
people of this community, located as wo are in territory through which this trans-continental
traffic will pass in the event it is allowed to move In its natural channel: and
Whereas, an effort is being made bythe Southern Pacific to avoid the decision
of tho Supreme Court by an appeal to Congress or to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission; Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved: That we put ourselves on record as favoring tho
strict and prompt enforcement of the decision of the Supreme Court; and
Be It Further Resolved: That our Senators and Members of Congress be requested
to oppose the enactment of any law which may nulify the force and effect of the
said decision of the Supreme Court of the United States-
