Major Frank North with his force of Pawnees left Sidney on Saturday for the 1'nwnee reservation in the Indian Ter ritory. S. O. Smith, land agent in this city, informs ua that about thirty BectionB of lund lying in the northwestern portion of Platte county, have been selected and located by l)r Krnliulc of Buffalo, N. Y., who is establishing a colony upon these lands with citizens from New York and Pennsylvania. One hundred and sixty l'nnca Indians came into the city Saturday, being the advance party from that tribe bound for the Indian Territory for permanent set tlement. They appoar to have good teams, and they themselves are well and comfortably clothed. They camped south of the Loup river and were still in the city Monday afternoon. It is the opinion of many of our citi zens that the recent heavy rain together with the cold weather which accom panied it, will destroy fill the young grasshoppers which remained on the cultivated lands during the rainfall. The hoppers that found shelter in the prairie jjraB are reported to be in good living condition, and should at once, under proper regulations, be attended to by prairie tires as the best method of destroying the pests.

Beginning with today- the annual meeting of the State Commercial Clubs will be held in this city. Tuesday even ing some of the state officers arrived so as to be on. the ground to meet the in coming delegates, and to direct then to the headquarters at the Y. M. C. A. building, which is the place where dele gates register and also where the busi ness meetings will be held. The selection of the place of meeting for next year will probably take up some of the time of the convention, there being several towns who want to enter tain the clnbe, prominent among whom is Kearney, and they will be here with a big bunch of boosters. Practically all the delegates for to morrow's meeting will arrive today, and this evening a business meeting will be held. One of the matters of importance to be brought before the meeting will be a resolution to the next legislature to provide for a liberal increase in the amount of tbe appropriation for adver tising the state in the east. At present the amount is insignificant and a liberal increase would be of ineslimab!e value, as the state, and especially the interior towns, are almost unknown in the east. Columbus Entertains the Bankers. Last Friday Oolumbus entertained Group 2 of tbe Nebraska Bankers' as soc;ation at their twelfth annual meet ing. There were 170 members of the as sociation present at tbe meeting, and the session?, both morning and evening, were held in tbe Y. MT C. A. building.

Among those who were present at tbe meeting were representatives from Chi cago. Kansas City, Omaha and South' Omaha. The local committee in charge of the arrangements left nothing undone to mnke the stay of the visiting bankers as pleasant an possible, and take with them nothing bnt a favorable impression of our city.

This ia the Grst time the local association bos tuken part in the International examinations and the lioys have made a good start. The marks made by the hoys range from 99J. per cent to 74' per cent, only one being below 75 per cent. Each boy who wins a mark of 75 per cent or above will receive a beautiful, engraved certiticate from the International committee of the Young Men's Christian association. It is very likely that all of these fellows will receive the certificate. This is per haps the beet showing made by any as sociation in tbe state along this line. Tbe boys will receive another reward. C. O. Sheldon promised to pay tbe ex penses to the next State boys conven tion of tbe boy who was most regular in attendance at the Bible classes during tbe winter. It turned out that all of these boys bad practically a perfect at tendance so it falls to tbe lot of Mr. Sheldon to pay the expenses of twelve boys instead of one to the Fremont con vention next fall.
