Coming Celebration, Say
Delegates In Omaha,

To arrange for their annual May party
a large delegation from North Platte visited
Omaha Thursday In the party were
NJ. II. Douglas Charles ELL George Austin
and Willard Hoser, representatives of
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers OF
North Platte and c. o. weingard, a mer-
chant of the same place. Most Of the men
were accompanied by their wives.
1.-THE May festival of the brotherhood at
North Platte is the same to the western
part of the state as the Ak-Sar-Ben
festivities are to the eastern" said Mr..
Hosler.- 1.-THE people flock from all parts
of the state and the occasion is d
momentous one This will be the twenty
fifth anniversary of the establishment of
the order at North Platte and for the party
May l we have just engaged the Fort
Crook band and will make the affair one
long to- be remembered. In our order are
the second and third engineers ever hired
by the Union Pacific Railroad company.
I'VE expect to have a souvenir of the
occasion, which will be worth preserving
as 1t will be a complete history of the
| organization to 1888 with photographs. To
show how North Platte is growing since
the new lines were started to the north
west from that point, let me say, we were
not able to arrange for beds for the mem
bers of the Fort Crook band and had to
hire a Pullman car to accommodate them
during their stay in the city. We will have
| $500 electric lights to decorate the hall.
Since the Burlington started it's line
| from North Platte over $1,000 900 worth of
| property has changed hands in the county
and $25O,OOO in North Platte The Odd Eel
lows are putting a $4,000 addition to their
| building there and the Masons are building
a new $4,000 hall. So much building is
| going on that It is impossible to got car
! penteIs or bricklayers for any small work.
The city paved eighteen blocks with Sher-
man gravel last year and this year have
arranged for forty-seven blocks more. To
show the interest in this May festival It is
only necessary to state that the women
had to put in their orders for their clothes
by January 1, for the May party or they
would not be able TO secure a dressmaker
who could do the work for them. North
| Platte Is surely booming and we are boom
ing the May party for we intend to make
it a gorgeous affair this year.

OPENING AT FRED KERN'S
Millinery OF Fine Quality and Patrons
60 Correspond at Douglas
street store.

Not only society. but the feminine world
IN general Is wrestling with the hat ques-
ton Of present Thursday was Fred Eern's
millinery opening and not a few OF the
most critical went away with either a new
hat OF an order left to copy one Of the
exclusive patterns, or at least with the
determination TO keep the Kern millinery
display in mind when they were ready to
buy.
The opening was in every way a pro-
nounced success. On entering the store a
more delightful welcome could not have
been extended to their patrons. An or.
chestra was stationed in the upper balcony
which furnished music both afternoon and
evening. His entire force Of thirty-eight
employees were constantly kept busy. as
the distribution of 1900 lawson pinks be-
fore noon will Illustrate. And what an
array Of millinery there was! one was i'm
pressed with the touch of newness, chic
appearance and exquisite harmony of color
that distinguished his entire display. Two
Of the model hats had special mention
at the millinery convention in Chi
cago. One of Thorn was mado Of
Neapolitan brand in the new green COM
binations. The entire top was covered
with thistles, which dropped to the sides
| and back and was artistically finished with
clusters Of white grapes, The other model
which brought forth equally as many
laudatory comments was of Tuscan braid
with effective daisy and grass combination
for trimmings. noticeable feature of
the hat was huge bow made of the onion
colored ribbon, which was looped so as to
fall nearly to the shoulder. A nobby little
street hat was shown in white milan braid
with lace ruffie crown and eagle quilts.
The show cases, with an endless variety
Of flowers most realistic in appearance,
caused many to pause In admiration.

COMES NOW REAL JAMESON
st. Louis Man sweRrs Down Strong
Point Made by Charles c.
Bassett in Divorce Case.

One OF the strongest points made by at
torneys for Charles c. Bassett in the recent
divorce case before Judge Redick has been
beaten to the ground by proofs secured
since the close of the trial by Attorneys
Baxter and Van Dusen for Mrs. Bassett.
The famous trial was drawing to a close
last month when the attorneys for Mr..
Bassett sprung a great surprise one day
by introducing a man called Sullivan from
Little Rock, Ark, who swore that Rev. E.
Lawrence Hunt had come to him in COM
pany with Mrs. Bassett on the evening Of
October 81, 1904, and had rented a house
from him. He swore that Mrs. Bassett
introduced Rev. Mr.. Hunt as "Mr. jane
son." and that he went under that name
while in Little Rock. This was after Mrs.
Bassett had left her husband and when
he did not know her whereabouts and sub
sequent to many of the alleged relations
betweent the two of which Mr.. BasSett
complained.
Mr.. Bassett's attorneys as a final blow,
introduced the register of the hotel In
Little Rock where Mrs. Bassett stopped a
day or two and there under date OF Oc-
tober 30. 1901, and just above the signature.
Mrs. Bassett and family, Washington. -
was the signature, IN. c. Jameson, St.
| Louis"
1t was a decisive blow and a convincing
point overwhelmingly against Hunt and
Mrs. Bassett. 1t was moreover, so unex-
pected by Mrs. Bassetts attorneys that
they could not refute Il in time. After the
close Of the trial Attorneys Baxter and
| Van Dusen instituted a search for the IN
c. Jameson" Of the register and they found
him; sent a photograph OF the signatures
to him and have secured an afidavit from
him that the signature on the hotel register
is his. The afidavit is as follows:
State Of Missouri. City of st. Louis, IS.
NJ. c. Jameson Of lawful age being duly
/ resident OF the city OF S. Louis state OF
Missouri; that he is the general agent for
/ Domestic sewing machines in said city,

MAYOR WILL VISIT The SITE
Dshlman Proposes 70 Investigate Psfors
Ggning Ordinance for Iraokage.
UNION PACIFIC DEFENDS ITS CASE
Denies Published Report that it
Has Absorbed the Entire
Use of the street In
Question.

Mayor Dahlman announced Thursday
that he would visit Eighth street between
California and Seward streets before sign
ing the ordinance for the franchise which
was granted 10 the Union Pacific railroad
by the city council Tuesday night for stor-
age tracks for ore for the smelling works.
He said he wanted to see for himself
whether the granting Of that right would
interfere with any interests in that section
Of the city, as maintained by certain par
ties
THE discussion over franchise granted
in the name Of the Union Pacific Railroad
company for trackage on Eighth street for
use OF The American Smelling g. Refining
company, represents the following facts"
said w. II. Whitaker. local attorney for
the Union Pacific"
THE ground heretofore furnished s now
being occupied by an expenditure Of over
100000 for new car shops. There was no
other available ground for the Smelling
company convenient to their plant. The
Union Pacific railroad company has leased
the smelling company its ground at a very
low rental for the sake OF encouraging
this enterprise in Omaha, Notwithstanding
nearly 70 or 80 per cent OF it's business Is
handled by competing lines. The smelling
company stated II they could not be pro-
vided with proper facilities they would have
to change their location-that they could
find such facilities elsewhere.
City's Action ImmRterIaI.
Now, It is entirely immaterial to the
officers Of the Union Pacific what action
the city Of Omaha takes in this matter
The disposition to hold railroad companies
responsible for everything except births
and deaths is getting to be very monot-
| onous, and does not become the heretofore
fair treatment Of the American people.
! However, there is one satisfaction that in
the end, the trouble which they are Great
/ ing for themselves by action directed
against corporations will make them an
equally sorrowful bed-fellow.
Under the laws Of this state private in
dustries cannot take ordinances in their
name for the construction Of tracks either
in the streets or on private property, but
must require a railroad company to take
such ordinance I'm its name. Otherwise this
! ordinance would have been taken in the
name of the parties asking for it, namely,
The American Smelling and Refining COM
pany.
| The charge that the Union Pacific Rail-
read company practically absorbed the entir {
use of this street is absolutely untrue. The
/ tracks to be lad will Occupy about thirty
six feet of the west side of this street
and the street being 100 feet in width
leaves passageway on the east side OF
theN street of over sixty feet. The state
ment appearing in one Of the Omaha even
ing papers heretofore is untrue"
