Another improvement, in tfe, coonty
capital was the renovation of foe county
judged office last week. New window
shades and a general overhauling of
things has greatly improved its appear
ance.
"See the card of X. V. Ellis & fym in
tkis week's Tribune. They respectfully
solicit patronage and guarantee sstisfac
tion. Their residence is in the Oberst
house, just north of the round-house
E. J. Wolter, late of this city, has
been elected chairman of the board of
trastees of the village of-Cnftis." Mr. W's
qaalifications for the position are well
known and lie will fill the" position with
honor to himself and credit to "the vil
lage. We have not examined the records,
but we venture the assertion we have had
less sunshine this winter than usual. Jan
uary has not been a stormy month, but it
has been a cloudr one.
Owing to a dispute as to the proprie
torship, the Wild West saloon has been
closed for a couple of weeks. It is re
ported that Frank Wheeling claimed to
have had a thousand-dollar interest,which
he disposed to Tucker and Tucker to
some one else. This Mr. Waldo disputes,
claiming that Frank was only a working
partner. It is likety to be another ques
tion for lawyers and courts to adjust.
II. II. Henderson, formerly a teacher
in our city schools, stopped in town Tues
day night, being on his way to Indianap
olis. Associated with another gentleman,
he has taken the general western agency
for the "Adjustable" school desk and ex
pects to be kept busy for several years in
troducing it in Dakota, .Nebraska, Kansas.
Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico
and other territories. It is a splendid
desk, said to be the best ever offered to
the public.
The county commissioners are having
the southwest room in the court house,
which has been used by the county sur
veyor for an office when required, proper
ly fitted up and the meetings of the board
will hereafter be held there. This will
be a great convenience to the clerk, as it
frequently happens during the sessions of
the board the office is so crowded it is al
most impossible to do writing or transact
the business of the office. Especially is
" this the case when working on the tax
list or assessors' books.
j. -r-Sheriff Haley h as the improvements
m "the jail about completed. Among
other things there is a commodious re
ceptacle for transgressors of city ordi
nances and this class of offenders -will
have to "look a little out" or they will
have to face the stern countenance of
Judge Snelling. Rumor has it that the
sheriff will post notices in the cells re
questing prisoners not to escape by the
roof for fear of exploding the kegs of
dnamite there deposited. This is proba
bly erroneous. The fact is the Lincoln
county jail seems to be a pretty secure
institution. Prisoners do not escape ex
cept through the mandate of a kind
hearted jury.
Monday night is the time for the reg
ular meeting of the city council we be
lieve. Aside from the discussion of
water-works and kindred subjects, there
is not likely to be much important busi
ness. The conditionof the streets is gen
eralty fair, and there is very little fault to
be found at present; but the spring
break-up will soon commence and then
we fear it may be otherwise. Especially
is this likely to be the case on Spruce
street from Front to Fifth, if we are to
judge from past experience. The coun
cil should take bull by the the horns. The
difficult' can be remedied at no great ex
pense. An effort should be made to keep
the street in a passable shape, and if an
effort is made it will succeed.
A letter from Mr. Babcock, general
passenger agent of the Chicago fc North
western, conveys the information that the
roads e:ist of Omaha will make no con
cessions from regular tariff rates to tne
proposed excursion to New York, al
. though Mr. B. said the Northwestern peo
ple did all in their power to bring about
the desired result It seems there is a
general understanding by the trunk lines
that they shall give no special rates un
less authorized b' the commissioner
whom the have appointed as a sort of
arbitrator or governor in such matters.
The subject was also referred to the pas
senger agents in session at Chicago, but
without success. So the excursion, will
have to be abandoned.
Some complaint is expressed at the
condition of the Cottonwood road between
the lands of Messrs. Bratt and Malone,
about six miles from town. It Is only
half the usual width of roade. Mr.
Bratt's fence is on the north side, is of
cedar poles, and built a number of years
ago. Malone's fence is of wire and we
believe was built last fall: It Is under
stood both parties claim to have given
the usual thirty-three feet for the road.
This could probably be determined by
the county surve3or. One thing is cer
tain: the road is only half width, .and on
the north side being a rail fence the snow
has lodged in the lane until It has be
come practically impassable for a loaded
team. As there is no other route travel
is seriously blockaded. If there Is no
authority competent to act, the county
commissioners should take some steps
to have the matter remedied. In its pres
ent shape it is an injury to the city as
well as an injustice to those who have oc
' caiion to travel over the road. i

-North Platte came near having a good
sized blaze Tuesday. A small boy in the
southeast part of town took several
matches, went up stairs, locked the door
and started a fire, with some clothes.
When discovered the floor had already
caught fire but the flames were soon extinguished.

From a letter received by a promi
nent stockman of this place from the ex
treme northern part of the state it is
learned that cattle are more than holding
their own, no snow to speak of to inter

all kinds is doing well in that country.
This Is encouraging to stockmen.
It is said we are' to have another un

present appearances deaths are likely to
be the result of old age for some time to
come, slightly augumeated by accidents
of course, and the labor of the undertak

of this family journal to wish any man's
business to be unprosperou?, but in this
case perhaps the gentlemen will excuse
us if we expressthe hope that their ser
vices may rarely be required by our good
people we have a few who can be spared.
A curiosity in the shape of a knife
was shown us yesterday by N. L. Hall.
The blade is about a foot long, heavy and
strong, the handle being made from the
lower part of a deer's front leg. The leg
is sawed into two parts, the hair being left
on, the Insides lined with brass into
which the blade closes and the hoof fas
tened together with a neat shoe. The
whole business is very nicely finished, re
quiring much labor and skill. It is the
work of Mr. I. T. Jaques, of Lincoln,
grandfather of Mrs. Hall, a gentleman
over seventy years of age. The old man
being an enthusiastic democrat, it was
first intended for a present to Cleveland
to assist him in whacking off the political
heads of republican office-holders, but

ihe iBiBUNE am not miss its guess
last week that there was likely to be some
anti VanWyck oysters eaten before the
lapse of many days, therefore we were
not suprised when requested to form one
of a party for that purpose. There was a
little regret connected with the affair too,
that is on the part of guests. The in vita-
tions said oysters, and there were oysters
in every style ; but no mention was made
regret
consisted In not fasting for a half day or
so before sitting down to the hospitable
entertainment. Mrs. W. M. Evans knows
how to entertain in a manner calculated
to make all feel at ease and comfort. Af
ter partaking of the fine supper an hour
was spent very pleasantly in a social way
aad in the examination of the fine collec
tion of Indian relics gathered by Mrs. E.
during a residence in Dakota. A number
of these formerly belonged to Sitting Bull
and several were picked up on the field of
the Custer massacre. Before the strik
ing of the twelfth hour the guests re.
paired to their homes, having enjoyed a
very pleasant evening.
A party somewhat different from
those usually given occured last evening
at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Eells, at
in peasant
dress and it can be said without success
ful contradiction thatvthe costumes' worn,
especially those of the ladies, were trim
and handsome and heightened the beauty
possessed by the wearers. Though at
first there seemed to be more than the
usual reserve and dignity displayed, this
soon wore off and the guests assumed that
lively spirit which characterizes North
Platte society and insures a happy even
ing. In the matter of entertaining and
the faculty of making all enjoy themselves,
Mr. and Mrs. Eells are unsurpassed, a
verdict which will meet with the concur
rence of all those present last evening. To
sum it up briefly, the party was all that
could be desired by the entertainers, and
those entertained. The younger mem
bers of the crowd passed the time in danc
ing, intersperced with vocal music and
games, while the older ones amused them
selves with cards. An interesting and ap
preciated part of the program twas the
serving of excellent refreshments. The
guests'departed about one o'clock feel
ing that the evening had been one worthy
of remembrance. In entertaining the
party Mr. and Mrs. Eells were ably as
sisted by Miss Bettie Graves. Among
these present were: Mr. and Mrs. T. J.
Foley, Mr. and Mrs. Wm, Grady, Mr. and
Mrs. W. L. McGee, Mr. and Mrs. J. Q.
Thacker, Mr. and Mrs. H. S. Keith, Mr.
and Mrs. C. W. Price, Mr.

N. B. Settlers, if you will first
consult me before attempting to
transact your business in the U. S.
Land Office I will convince you that
I can not only save you money but
time and trouble hereafter. Why?
Because there are lots of technical
points and many Questions arising!
in government iana ousmess wnicn
require the attention of an expe
rienced person to handle. That is
the principal reason so many fail in
final proof and contest. I will give
you complete memorandum of any
tract of land FREE, whether asked
in person or by letter; so persons
living at a distance can file contests
by writing me to much better ad
vantage and at less cost than by
allowing inexperienced notaries
public and county clerks to do the
same. The instructions I give con
testant are so simple that no mis
take can be made by him unless
done intentionally.
The Journal congratulates the
republicans of Nebraska upon the
result of the most hotly contested
senatorial election that they have
witnessed since the admission of the
state into the union. The organi
zation of the party depended upon
the action of the ninety-five sena
tors and representatives elected as
republicans, and for twenty-three
days there was much wavering and
uncertainty.
Every appliance had been brought
o bear by the democrats and out
side factionalits toprevent a repub
lican caucus. mtn a nerve, a
steadiness and a faithfulnes to
principle that has I suggested the
name "stalwart," the representative
republicans of Nebraska were found
for seventy-two hours on gaard at
every point, engaged at every skir-
1 1 " 1 1 rf 'n
ujisu uue, enirencnea in every nne
pit and equal to every emergency
until the battle for party integrity
was won and factionalism was over
powered all along the line. Yester
day dawned on a united party and
the long misery of the six years of
internec.:n3 strife was over.
The selection of Algernon S.
Paddock by the free ballot of every .
man but one returned to the legisla
ture as a republican is not a person
al triumph, it is the vindication of
the principle that the republican
party is greater than any man or
faction in it and. a proof that fac
tionalism cannot exist among intel
gent body of true repubiicans when
they are side by side and in danger
from common foe.
Nebraska recovered yesterday
from the accident of six years ago.
It was a painful recovery, but the
healing has been complete and there
is no scar to speak left to rmind us
of the misfortune. State Journal.

Occasionally a blasted Britisher
is equal to seeing himself as othera
see him. The London Umpire re
lates the following, which it terms
a true story:
"It was at the Liverpool docks.
A party of American tourists were
about to take the steamer for home.
As they stalked along the gangway
to the tender dock one of the three
passed in the center, and stretching
out his uncurabered hands dramatic
ally addressed the surrounding
scenery. lIf there is,' he hoarsely
exclaimed 'one blasted Britisher on
this confounded island that I
haven't given a shilling to let him
come forward and get it. It's his
last chance!" Then he stalked on
board with an air of great relief."
"Brick." Pomeroy, who recently
returned from Europe, addressed a
meeting held at the Masonic temple.
The subject was "The Slums of
London. He said that all of the
poverty, misery and depravity in
that city was the result or the "government-protected
and church-protected
liquor traffic. He declared
the greatest power iu England to be
the liquor power, as $800,000,000
worth of liquor in various forms is
consumed by the Britishers yearly.
The church does not array itself in
antagonism to the liquor power,
because to do so would be to re
flect on the government, which li
censes and protects the traffic and
sustains the church.
