Joe Kclscy Ships with Money.
Joe Kolsey, who had been in partner
ship with his wife in conducting the
Star Hotel, left town Friday night tak
ing with him a bunch of money which
he had collected from the' boarders.
Learning of his departure soon after
Mrs. Kel8oy reported tho matter to the
polico with tho result that Kolsey was
taken off No. 4 at Kearney and placed
in jail. Saturday morning tho chief of
polico communicated with Mrs. Kolsey
by telephone, and a compromise was
mado by Kelsey turning over to tho
chief for his wife tho sum of $150. Kol
sey was then turned loose. Friday was
pay day and Kelsey had taken charg
of nil tho money paid by tho railroad
employes who wero boarders, tho sum
exceeding two hundreds dollars. He
unwisely concluded to skip without di-.
vtding tho coin with Mrs. Kolsoy.
Paul Bartlclt Dead.
A telogrnm received by John Murray
Sunday morning announced the death
at Lincoln of his son-in-law Paul Bart
lett. Mrs. Murray left tho same night
for Lincoln to attend tho funeral.
Tho deceased was well known by the
older residents of North Platte, having
in tho early part of the 90's filled tho
position of assistant' 'manager of tho
E. W. ranch at Cottonwood. While re
siding there ho was united in marriage
to Miss Roso Murray, who with a son
and daughter survivo him. Later he
removed to Lincoln and engaged in the
lumber business, in which ho was very
successful and became one of the
wealthy men of the capltol city. Close
application to business told on his
health and a couple of years ago, on
account of extreme nervousness, was
forced to retiro from active work. His
condition for a timo was alarming, but
later ho improved. Last week ho was
in Greeley, Col., andjwas stricken with
unconsciousness while at breakfast in
his hotel. Ho rallied, was taken homo
to Lincoln but expired early Sunday
morning.
No Hope for Kinkaid Bill.
A Washinton special in today's Bee
says: Judge ivinkaid is not so sure
about his bill reducing the improve
ment requirements within tho territory
of the so-called Kinkuid act, which he
introduced early in tho Sixtieth con
gress, and in a letter he is sonding to
his constituents in tho Sixth Nebraska
district he frankly ndmits ho is in doubt
nbout tho timeliness of tho measure.
Evidently Kinkaid has heard from homo
for he states that there is enough differ
ence of opinion existing as to the ad'
visability of securing a reduction of
improvements under the one-section act
to defer pressing tho bill any further
until ho is definitely informed as to tho
proportion of sentiment for and against
the reduction of tho value of improvements,
Representative Kinkaid states that
in order to secure consideration of any
amendment to tho ono-section act the
value of improvements would havo to
be fixed as high as G2J cents and possi
bly at 75 cents per aero and he there
fore calls upon his constituents for
light and holp that acceptable legisla
tion may be enacted. In tho mcantimo
the Kinkaid bill, which sought to fix
tho value o" improvements at 40 cents
per acre, "sleeps the sleep that knows
no awakening."
Heavy Snow Storm.
For nearly twenty-four hours, begin
ning Sunday night and terminating last
nitrht, North Platte had a snow storm
as severe as any experienced in recent
years, and during which tho nmount of
snow that fell aggregated nine and
eight-tenth inches. During part of
tho storm period, tho temperature was
mild, and the snow to some extent
melted as it fell, so there is not to ex
ceed six inches on the level. The most
furious part of the storm wbb about
8:30 last evening, when tho snow fell
thick and wris driven by a rather high
wind, resulting in considerable drifting.
This forenoon opened bright and warm
and tnc snow will no doubt soon disap
pear.
This fall of moisture is welcomed by
all, as it will result in placing the
ground in fine shape for spring work on
the farms.
Tho Overland Limited du hero nr
1:30 yesterday did not reach this
terminal until 7:15 this morning. The
train in charge of Conductor Anderson
left Cheyenno at 3:15 yesterday aftor
noon, and was therefore sixteen hours
between tho two terminals. Conductor
Anderson says tho Btorm between
Cheyenne and Jul sburg was about the
worst he ever encountered. Tho snow
filled tho turntablo pit at Sidney and
prevented getting engines and snow
plows out of tho round house.
The Secret of Long Life.
A French scientist has discovered one
secret of long life. His method deals
with the blood. But long ago millions
of Americans had proved Electric Bit

living. It purifies, enriches and vital
izes tho blood, rebuilds wastod nerve
cells, imparts life and tono to tho en

Gushing, Me., but Electric Bitters

THE RICHEST LAND
Not Under Cultivation Today
Is that portion of Southern Florida near the southeast coast of Flor
ida and west of the city of Miami, which is claimed by the most
noted experts to be the richest tract of land to be found in the
United States, and some has gone so far as to say, in the world.
With a charming climate and at the very doors of the world's best
markets, nothing like it can be found on this continent today. There
is now offered for sale a tract of 180,000 acres of this fine land.
This magnificent property large enough for 12,000 farms and homes
is being practically given away to 12,000 persons who apply for
farms before they are all sold.
Remember that While They Last,
$240.00, Payable $10.00 a Month,
Buys a Farm and Lot.
In addition to the farm each purchaser is given a business or resi
dence lot in the town to be established on this land. The farms
range in size from 10 to 640 acres, and a contract calling for one
undivided farm and one lot and other rights, together, will be sold
for only $240, payable $10 per month. There is practically no
limit to the variety of crops that can be raised on this land. The
soil being very rich and fertile, is a veritable mine of agricultural
wealth, and the yield and production of fruits, vegetables in fact
almost any kind of crop known to the modern farmer, can hardly
be excelled. It has been said that one good investment beats a life
time of labor. Here is your opportunity. Put your monthly savings
where you will have something worth while at the end of the year.
