Several Cheyenne bicycle rid ers have been in the city this morn ing waiting" to take part in the relay race. Considering" the difficulties of darkness and unfamiliar roads the boys are making" good time with the message. Jim Roddy and I Johnny Ell, who rode the first re lay out ot Sidney to Lodge Pole, succeeded in makinjr schedule time, although they rode in the dark. The moon was just rising as the message was turned, over to tue succeeding" rider at Lodge Pole. Fred Hartman carried the missive from the last named station to Chappell and made a very nice run He was also accompanied by eh who thus rode two relays. Ed Friend and Eugene Picard, the lat ter as substitute, carried the pack et to Julesburg" and in the darkness divide lost their road and some time. From Jules burg" to Bigsprings Gus Chamber lain had charge of the message and was accompanied by Ralph Min shall. From the latter place to Pearl Armbus and Lem Steele were scheduled to "put her through on time." When Ogalalla was reached H. M. Weber was in waiting- and in turn took the dis patch to Roscoe, and it is said he set a merry pace for his substitute, Guy Laing. From Roscoe to Korty John Ducran with the message in charge led his substitute Fred Saw- . t t T m- n 11 yer. At is.orty J. m. ounivan, with Leo Sullivan as substitute, captured the pouch and carried it into Paxton. From Paxton to Sutherland Floyd McGinn and Ray Langford evidenced their abil ity as scorchers. From Sutherland to Hershey Arthur Rush accompa nied by Frank Harden had charge ot the much prized package. The last relay into this city was ridden by Joe Fillion, Jr., with Frank Crick as substitute. They arrvved in excellent condition at 11:15 o'clock and after the North Platte postoffice stamp and signature of the postmaster had been affixed, the message was whisked away upon its first relay to Fort Mc Pherson cemetery in charge of a couple Cheyenne riders piloted by Joe Baskin and Fred Fillion. Tak ing everrthing into consideration very good time has been made by message. a ' cuATorop" caucus. After considerable announce ment through their organette the local cratopops held a caucus Sat urday night at the court house, in which the popocrats largely pre dominated, to select delegates to the pow-wow in Omaha this week. The purpose of the latter is to en dorse the slate prepared by the populistic place-hunters of the state, and to supply one place which the latter had magnani mously left open, as all their lead ers were'provided with nominations for other positions. Two years ago two places were left vacant for the so-called democrats. At the same ratio two years' hence there will be no place left vacant tor dem ocrats (?) upon the Nebraska pop U11L L 1 1 I l I -LVJV-O lino J UUk. . democrat donkey h.d tmated the lyin , or vice ve ulist ticket. Does this look as if glu- lvin or vice versa? Be this as it may, the boys evi dently thought they were having a good time, and went through their business with all the gravity pos sible, as if the fate of the nation depended upon their efforts. The delegates selected to sacrifice their silver shekels to fceep the populist organization alive in Nebraska were fester "Walker, George Wil liam Dillard, F. J. Braeker, "William Boyer, John Lycurgus Minor and Leo Hart. A sweepstake resolu tion was introduced and adopted, pledging the delegation to "follow my leader" in all things, and that a copy of the same be sent to the Omaha meeting to prevent possi ble bolting by disgusted democrats. This was a bitter pill for some of the participants to swallow, and the wry faces made were plainly apparent. One disheartened dele gate after the meeting broadly- hinted that he would not consider himself bound by any such action. His favorite candidate, "W. Jen nings Bryan, has absolved him the charge of bolting when a conven tion adopts anything not in accord with the wishes of a delegate. Af ter listening to brief remarks by W. J. Roche, N. McCabe and Geo. W. Vroman, the assemblage si lently faded away, realizing that the cool niffhts of November will develop a case of "love's labor lost." A GENEROUS OFFER. EniToit TKinijNE: Kindly pubi lish the following letter. It is de sirable to give this wide publicity, to encourage fruit growers to dis play their products, and also help to bring this, enterprising nur sery company of seventy years suc cessful business existence, into a closer acquaintance with our tree planters. These are the men who planted that famous orchard of 100 acres at Littleton, Col., eight miles from Denver, and despite croakers, proved that fruit could be grown without irrigation, which is one of the most valuable object lessons of the last twenty years to the high-: land farmers of the west. Again, as this firm has! faith enongh in the adaptability of this country to fur nish good reliable meri, under fa vorable contract, with trees and take their pay in fruit in the course of fifteen years, their liberality is worthy of a hearty support. W. W. Birge. Louisiana, Mo., Aug. 26, 1896. W. W. Birge, North Platte, Neb., Dear Sir: We thank you for your favor 24th of Aug. We are willing to have you offer to your exhibitors a premium of $10 worth of choice nursery stock for a display of fruit then, it you wish, also a second premium of $10 worth for the best display of fruit, Nebraska grown, from Stark trees, by arranging- the offers as to make them attractive and to cover territory desired. It is a fact that such cherries as Montmorenci Ord, Suda Hardy, Abbesse, -etc., and such plums as Gold, Splendor, Lombard, etc.. can be grown there as successfully as on tne Jfacihc coast, and should harvest a magnificent crop of plums about every season, and these cherries should scarcely ever fail, and when your land is so used the returns will be certain to be re munerative and build up an indus try that will go with mauy cars of fruit. Think that we speak advis edly, judgiug- from our experience in your state and in Colorado un der similar conditions. ' Believe us yours, . Stark Bros. Nursery & Or chards Co.

A meeting ot the free silverites was held at Hershey last Thursday evening. A club was organized of some thirty-seven members. Perry Mulligan was selected president and Everett "Ware secretary.. Among other remarks made by Mulligan was "that as he was only ten years younger than the next president to be, he would do to be president of ihe club." Cheers Stockton addressed the meeting. Mrs. Terry and Mrs. Goodwin returned from their visit in Thayer county last week. The ladies made the entire trip by team. There has been bets of different kinds on the election in these parts but an odd contract was made by two citizens of Hershey. One. a staunch republican, agrees to vote for Bryan, provided that the other, a tree suvente, quits smoKing. The silverite declares that the re publican will liave to vote for Bryan. Rev. "Williams, of Lexington, who prjeached at the Platte Valley school house Sunday morning, was greeted with a large andience. The young son of Mr. Jones, who lives on the W. L. Park farm, was seriously burned and disfigured while playing with powder. The picnic at Stoddard's grove last Thursday was largely attended. Everybody reports a very pleasaut time. Bab. "White is confined to his bed with typhoid fever. The dance at Hershey Friday night was a failure. People are too busy now to attend dances. Mrs. M. C. Brown has returned from Sidney. She left her daugh ter, Mrs. Struthers, much improved in health. U. R. I. NEWS FBOM COTTONWOOD. An outing party from Curtis vis ited the national cemetery Thurs day. There were fourteen in the party. Mrs. and Miss Baege visited friends in IJorth Platte for several days last week. While there they attended Prof. Garlichs' concert, which was a grand success and a real feast for all iovers of music. The visitors to the national cem etery have greatly increased, 139 having registered during the month o.f August. Jax. The Hub learns from an authori tive source, that T. Fulton Gantt, the gentleman from North Platte who contested honors with our own and only "W. L. Greene in the pop ulist congressional convention, will be nominated by the populists of the North Platte senatorial district for state senator. It is said Mr. Gannt's wrath must be appeased one way or other, even if it has to be done by givinghim one of the con solation prizes. It is intimated, however, that the gentleman from the forks of the Platte might pos sibly refuse to accept such a doubt ful honor, even though it were" thrust upon him. Mr. Gantt wanted the congressional nomination and he wanted it bad, and as a matter of policy, Brer Greene had better see that he is given something that will prove acceptable. Kearney Hub. A prominent business man of Lincoln, Neb., writing to a citi zen in Newtown, in answer to the question, "will Nebraska be carried away with Bryan sophistry?" says: "There are nine votes on our office floor, and eight of them are straight, republican votes, and dhly one Bryan vote on the floor." He rep resents Nebraska as all right. He is a man of large information throughout the west, and expresses it as his opinioh that "there is no probability of the free silver people getting into power in this coun try."
