NEWTON'S LINE OFWALL-PAFE- R

This year affords extraordinary ad-vantages for improving and decor-ating in this direction. The stockis much larger than has ever be-fore been brought to North Platte,and embraces styles from the sim-plest and cheapest, to the mostelaborate and costly. In keepingwith the times, the prices are low-er than the same quality of goodswere ever before offered. He haspapers which will fit the require-ments of every pocket book, fromthose resembling the lean and hun-gry kine mentioned in the Bible,to the bulging purse of the mil-lionaire. Call and examine thestock and prices, as a particularpleasure will be taken in exhibit-ing the same to the public, as apersonal inspection will go a longway toward making a purchase.Don't forget the place, at

RAILWAY RESUME.

A couple of the company's "flycops" were in town Sunday investi-gating affairs.

The 827 sprung her driving axlesand kinked her rods Saturday night,owing to the frosty rail.

Something went wrong with theold 827 Sunday night and the 818came in "O. T." on train No. 2 yes-

terday morning.Engine 952, which is said to be

the last one of the O. S . L. locomo-

tives that have been in use on theNebraska division, left for the westthis morning drawing the pay-ca-r

special.

The powers that be in Omahahave ordered the abolition of thelittle offices in the shop that havebeen occupied by various of theforemen. Hereafter their head-quarters will be in the saddle, orbeneath their hats.

Some of the train men are of theopinion that some of these daysthere will something drop down atheadquarters in regard to the bigcar haul now being indulged in bythe management. Local officialsare not being held responsible forthe same.

General Cowin, who is represent-ing the government in the fore-

closure proceedings against the U.P. R'y according to the statementof his law partner is of the opinionthat the whole thing is a farce, andthat thus far the government's in-

terests are not in jeopardy. As arule when an- - attorney croes into l

public print to try his cases, herealizes that he is playing a desper-ate game. However, this maj notbe the situation in the above case.

THE REASON WHY.. Jolly Nellie McHenry is the most

popular soubrette on the Americanstage. She can sing better thanmost women who dance. She is abetter dancer than most womenwho sing. She is an acknowledgedactress, and her versatility is ad-

mitted by all critics. She possessesthat indescribable magnetism,which makes her audience feel as ifshe were akin to them, and thevare proud of her. She has sur-

rounded herself with one of thestrongest companies of singers andcomedians ever seen in one com-

pany, and she gives them all achance to show what they can do,and in her circo-comed- y, "A Nightat the Circus," she gives her audi-ence full value for their money bygiving them the funniest, cleverest,ongiitest ana greatest snow onearth. This company will be atLloyd's on the evening- - of March27th.

Cheyenne county populists aredividing over the administration ofthe office of county clerk, a portionof the patriots insisting that theparty be consistent and economisein expenditures, while the re-

mainder of the fellows back up theofficial, who appears to be runningthe office upon the high pressure,get-all-you-c- an principle. The sameorganization is having the samesort of internecine strife all overthe country, which is an evidence ofits disintegration.

A REPLY TO "W.Mr. Editor: I clip the follow- -

ing from an article on civil serviceo-- in

the last issue of the Telegraph:"I learned that Mr. Hoagland,

the 'newsboy's friend,' was here afew weeks ago. He was invited toaddress the children in our Centralschool. Before doing so he askedthe children to join him in repeat-ing the Lord's prayer. Will it bebelieved that he was 'called down'by the principal of our schools andinformed that the Lord's prayer inthe schools of this city was played

Now, if our haltinnf hpisfir. school authorities see fitto authorize or allow unpatrioticand unchristian rules and observ-ances 'what are we going to doabout it?' "

Will you kindly give me space tocojrect one or two of the errorstherein?

1. Mr. Hogeland, the ' 'newsboy'sfriend " was never invited to address the children of the Centralschool. He did request the time ofour opening exercises ten minutes

to make a short talk to the Highcrlinnl TTt made an address of

half an hour, and took occasionto urge the purchase of a chartbearing the picture of "Col. Alex-

ander Hogeland, the friend of thepoor and neglected boys of thestreet."

2. He did not ask the pupils tojoin 'him in repeating the Lord'sprayer.

3. He was not "called down" byany one.

4. He was not informed that theLord's prayer in our schools was"played out."

5. I am not an atheist.6. I am an American citizen by

birth, and owe allegiance to noforeign power or potentate in mat-

ters temporal or spiritual. No mancan rightfully accuse me of a wordor an act that savors of disloyaltyto my country.

7. It is better not to know somuch than to know so many things

are not so.Very respectfully,
