Secretary Hollingsworth is attempting to pull through a scheme whereby a Y. M. C. A. building can be erected in this city.

The plan has not progressed far enough to admit giving it publicity through the press. The ladies of the irrigation fair held a meeting last evening, but only transacted routine business. A meeting of the entertainment committee will be held this afternoon to consider important business. Judge Grimes goes to Lincoln this week to hear a case, thence to McCook and from there to Hayes Centre. His work at "these points will consume a week, and he will then leave for a visit to Iowa ahd Indiana.

The appointment of superintendents for the various deoartments of the irrigation fair will be completed this week. Those who have been named are already getting the preliminary work of their respective departments in shape. The officers of the irrigation fair and the superintendents of the various departments held a meeting at'the secretary's office last evening, at which a large amount of business pertaining to the fair was considered. Plans were formulated for the erection of a poultry building, a. fishery building and additional stalls for cattle, horses, and swine: also for an extension to the present grand stand.

It is thejn-tention to have the grounds sur-vej'ed and laid out in squares or streets, and the location of booths established. "When this is completed bids for booth privileges will be invited. Clerical help will be provided the secretary and the office of the latter official will be open at all hours of the day from now until the close of the fair. Bids for printing the premium list were opened and considered, and the coutract awarded to The Tri-nuNE.

Yesterday was a hot day, the mercury hopping up to 99 degrees at the signal office. One year ago yesterday the maximum temperature registered at 78. At seven oclock this morning the following low temperatures were reported from north and west: Havre 38, Helena 42, Miles City 16, Lander 40, Cheyenne 42.

At 7 this morning the temperature at North Platte was 62. The forcast for this section to-night and to-morrow is generally fair. Several months ago Solomon Johnson and Amanda Johnson, residents of the Third ward, were granted a legal separation by the district court after having been married for full twenty years. Since the divorce was granted Solomon and Amanda have both regretted the action taken, and a few days ago concluded to be re-married. Last Saturday Solomon procured a license and with his bride of twenty years ago stood before Judge Ray and again took the marital vows.

That the remainder of their years may be passed in peace and happiness is the wish of acquaintances. A telegram was received from Mexico Fridav evening announcing the death of Harry Kramp, of this city, who for several months had been stationed in that countrjr as a memoer or a civil engineering- corps. The telegram gave no par ticulars of his death, but a letter containing the details is expected to arrive to-morrow morning. The deceased was a very popular young man in North Platte, where he had resided nearly all his life. To the members of the family his demise is a heavy blow, and the fact that he died in a strange land among comparative strangers make his death all the more sad.
