The ditch is some five miles long

New Platform.

The extremely heavy and never end
ing traffic over the platform at the
North Western depot in this city has
rendered the planks and supports al.
most worthless and during the past
few months the platform has become
80 dllapidated that it has been con.
sidered dangerous by the station en-
ployes. The condition of the plat
form has been repeatedly reported but
until yesterday no remedy could be
obtained. During the visit of the
NV. officials yesterday about the
first thing that attracted their atten
ton after alighting from their special
cars was the pauper like aspect of the
station in general, and it was not long
before the official Order was made that
will end in an entirely new platform
being built along the South side of the
depot building.

Kensington Tea.

Yesterday afternoon the pleasant
home of Mrs. Il. l.. Linsley, ON Sew
enth street, was the scene of one Of the
merriest social affairs of the season.
Mrs. Linsley received her guests in
such cordial informal manner that
from the first the success of the after
noon was assured, and while fingers
were busy over fancy needle work, the
tongues were just as busy and the COM
pany was the gayest imaginable.
Golden-rod was the flower to give a
holiday touch to the rooms. and the eff
feet produced was most delightful to
the eye.

assisted the hostess in serving
The time passed all too rapidly and

the company we're aware of it the shade
of evening had fallen and the little
flutter of lesvetakine closed another
page in social life so dear to the life of
the average woman.

Officer Charles Claar arrested man
last evening in saloon on broadway
near the Northwestern depot who
answers in almost every particular the
description of man alleged to have
stolen q gold watch and chain and SIS
in Missouri Valley yesterday after

it was impossible to get the authors
