CASPER CONTRACTS NOT YET LET
Northwestern Is Piling up Material
There Ready for Construction ,
It Is staled that the grading con
tracts for the Northwestern extension

Reports , however , show that It will
Hoon bo lot and that as soon ns this
IH done work will begin with a rush.
It Is believed that a large part of the
grading will bo done this season , and
it Is claimed ( lie track laying will
keep up with the end of grade.
A great deal of material Is now beIng -
Ing unloaded at Casper , Wyo. , the
present terminus , and extensive ma
terial yards have been laid out , and
by the time tbo grading Is completed
Iho material for all the work will bo

line will not bo far behind the finish
of grading work.
In anticipation of heavier business
In the future the company has boon
placing heavier rails on Its Nebraska
main line , and has been planning
some curve elimination , line shorten
ing and grade reduction. This work
may not ho done at once , but It Is
said It will como In the very near fu
ture , as the extension of the road to
Thermopolls and Lander will bring
a great Increase In business to the
Nebraska lino. The live stock busi
ness will bo more than doubled , the
coal business will become an Import-
nut Item , and the westbound merchan
dise will bo much hem lor when the

LOST PROPERTY RESTORED.
Gentry Bros. Return Valuable Watch
Thirty Minutes After It Was Lost.
When Mrs. C. S. Hayes and n party
of lady friends and children were at
tending the Gentry show yesterday af
ternoon Mrs. Hayes had the misfor
tune to drop her watch and lose It
In the crowd. It was found by a small
boj whom the management Induced
to give up to them'In consideration
of a ticket to the concert.
The loss was not noticed until after
the entertainment and Mrs. Hayes re
ported It to her husband at the store.
They immediately returned to the
show grounds and the Gentry Broth
ers were very glad to restore the
property to the proper owner , refus
ing nil offers of reward.
The brothers state that they niaUo
li a practice to turn all unclaimed ar
ticles found to the chief of police to
be properly advertised whcjn they
leave town , which Is in great contrast
to the pocket picking permitted by
i some show managements. It is with
pleasure that credit Is given such gen-
tlemon and they are wished every do-
j gree of success. C. S. Hayes.

PUBLIC SCHOOL LIFE A MATTER
OF RECORD AND MEMORY.
CLASS PLAY WAS A SUCCESS
Mcmbe/s of the Class Acquitted Them
selves With Credit In Their Closing
Program "Henrts and Diamonds"
In a Clash.
IKiom Frliluy'H Onlly 1
The class of 1005. Norfolk high

even standing room was at a pre
mium , while many wont away without
walling for the program to begin , dis
couraged with the Idea of having to
stand the entire evening. The adul-
enco was composed largely of women
and children , but there was a fair
representation of men Interested In
the work of the schools. Members of
the board of education occupied the
lower loft hand box and teachers
filled the other threo. A misunder
standing and consequent mix-up on
the Hcut question occasioned a delay
In beginning the program and there

nice of the class and the merit of the
irognim when It was presented
irovod ample compensation before
ho ovonlng was ended.

ng Iho program and filling in the wait
letwoen nets afforded worthy service
n helping the seniors to entertain
heir relatives , friends and admirers.
Their services hnvo boon frequently

respond In helping to entertain. The
irohcstra Is proving such a valuable
: ild In such matters and the members
are showing such aptttndo in perfect-
ng themselves In music that it Is to
> o hoped that the classes of the fu-
lire will sec the desirability of main-
alnlng the organization , and that the
mrontn and school ofllcors will offer
a very encouragement for them to do
: Io so.
After the orchestra number the
lass salutatory was given by Miss
Nora M. Points. In carefully rounded
ibrases ami well chosen words she
xlwiled a cordial welcome to pa
rent n. relatives and friends to the

Hal mood.

doctor and they Immediately worker
Into the scheme of the play with ef
fect , helping the colored domestic a
the homo of the step-mother to bring
about n happy ending for all concerned
corned but the villain and his plot
ting mother.

part in the role of Bernice Halsteat
the leading lady of the cast. Between

took a graceful part as the sympathetic
thotic sister of the abused heroine
and helped her In her several esca
pades.
Carrie E. Roland as Inor. Gray , a
young lady visitor at the Halsteai
home , proved willing In the aid o
Bernlco's pranks and sympathetic in

Bornlce. She disapproved of tli
young lady's plots'for fun , hut wa
usually a willing aid and had n stor

lar regard to the welfare of her for
mer husband's daughters.

and gave the valedictory. In a brief
address carefully constructed , gram
