Schmalzried, since the fire, is occupying the Ottenstein buildins on Sixth street. The Holteen building on Sprace street has been repaired and "will be occu pied by J. TV. Hinton as a saloon. The Redmond & Berry Company will bo at the opera house Tuesday evening, Dec. 7th. This ifone of Leavitt's organ izations, a guarantee that it is good. As a safegard against a panic in case of fire, a double-door exit has been made on the west side of the opera ..house building. This precautionary measure is to be commended. The pleasant weather this week has indeed been very enjoyable after so long a siege of Artie breezes. Signal Officer Fitzgerald deserves the thanks of the community. After Febuary 4th, a new passenger train will be put on the road between this city and Omaha which will be known as the "North Platto Daisy." She will arrive in the evening and depart in the morning. At a meeting of the B.I. Hinman Hose Co. "Wednesday evening it was decided to order uniforms at once, the cost otwhich. will be abont $250. It was also decided to have practice and 'parade at five o'clock this evening. T. F. Barnes, of Lincoln, who re cently purchased a tract of land at O'Fal lons, including a portion of the town site, will put up two bnildings at the station and open stores there as soon in the spring as possible. Mr. Bradley, of the U. P. Photo Car, is so rushed with work that he has to send some of his negatives to Omaha to get retouched. Good work is the cause of this. At the request of State Supt. Lane, County Superintendent Langford circu lated a subscription paper this week to raise money to denote to teachers in this State who were sufferers in the blizzard of two weeks ago. He succeeded in se curing a neat sum. Died At Humburg, Iowa, January 23, 1888, 3Irs. Sadie, E. French of con sumption, aged 23 years. Although she resided in JNortn Platte but a snort time, by her gentle manners and kindly dispos ltion, Jlrs. a. made numerous warm friends, who will learn of her untimely death with sorrow. The First Ward Hose Co. Minstrels are busy preparing for their entertain ment, among the artists engaged being Messrs. McMurphy, Sullivan, Flynn and ' Upright, all of whom have appeared , before audiences m the large cities of this country. The date of the entertainment will be decided to day . As yet no hook and ladder company . has been organized, and as a competent and successful man for the position of , -chief mogul and grand organizer. The Tribune takes great pleasure in nomin , Jting Patrick Henry McEvoy. His efforts ii this direction will be greatly appreciat ed by the entire populace. Now is the time to lay a foundation - for a ''steady growth boom" in the spring. "Sto business men who tare backed by Manna i rPSMtffl JMMittBMM: X if "ST V3 it IS this state.

A defective flue in the- house owned by Mrs. Harris on West Sixth street came near causing a blaze of some dimensions Monday evening. Luckily the flame was discovered before it had made much headway and extinguished by the Second Ward Hose team that is a member of that organization with a pail of water ex ecuted the deed and it is therefore credit ed to the team. , Conway & Keith present to the pub lic gaze this week a fine array of Britannia ware. One great card for this ware is that alkali water will not rust it and will not tarnish, always looking as bright as the day it was purchased. The tea and coffee pots posses the patent convex removable strainer before the aperture of the spout, which can easily be removed, cleaned and replaced. For the quality of goods the prices are very low. A difficulty occurred at Paxton early this week resulting in seriously injuring om Fred Pierson. It appears that that Pierson was accused of talking di? ropectfully about a young lady, to which Wm. Smith, Geo. Smith, Geo. Schaum, ad E. H. Davis, took exception. The latter men have been arrested on the charge of assault with intent to kill, and have secured the services of Hoagland & Rissey to defend them. The shipment of a drill press from the TJ. P. shops in this city to Omaha, is taken as evidence by some that the csm nanv intends to cut down the working force here and eventually do away with the shops. Tiie Tbibuxe does not hold to this belief, and will not until more Dositive evidence is produced. The num- hr nf mpn emnloved bv the company at this point is as great at present as it has been at any time within "the past two years, and while it is true no men are being hired it is also true none are beng discharged. The manager of the road has given his promise that the North Platte shops will always receive their quota of work and we belivethat promise will be kept. An effort has been made to have a vault constructed for the treasurer's office, but as there are no funds available, the. commissioners could not make the much needed improvement It is stated that the the cost of a vault will be $1,200, but to a person not familiar with vault build ing that sum looks rather big. Twenty four brick will lay a cubic foot A thousand cubic feet of wall ould make a large vault. The iron doors and a door frame can be made at home at a cost of say $150. The other expenses would be the labor of laying the founda tion and walls. Allowing a good margin to the contractor, where pray can you get in the $1,200 ? We allude to this subject for two reasons: One is because the county treasurers office needs a vault to preserve its records, because if destroy ed by fire would be a great loss to the county ; and the other is because of the evident fashion, when a public improve ment is to be made, of running to extrava gance. There is almost a mania to adopt some patent machine or fancy design that nine cases out of ten proves more orna mental than useful. If we would have less of these ideas and devote more time to the encouragement of home industries, we would soon be wiser and wealthier. We may be off our reconing, but ten to one the board figured on an expense of about 600 for an iron frame and doors. There isnotniag about a vavk tbaC eaat- i The fourth Appolo dance of., the season will be held, next Friday evening, Feb'y 3d, to which all-members can look forward with pleasure. Fred Barraclough fell against the guide yoke of an engine one day last week and sustained a fracture of a left side rib. Joseph Sheridan, a member of the pile driver gang had a foot badly mashed Monday by a pile Jailing on A. lie was sent to the Omaha hospital on "No. 2 the same day. Carpenters are at work on the Ott man storeroom getting it read' for occupancy by Emmet Hammond." We understand J. F. Schmalzried has secured the building to be vacated by Mr. H. lue remains of A. n. biiiett were interred at the cemetery Saturday, the services being held at the Methodist church under charge of the Masons. The supply of coal received at this point during the past ten days has been about equal to the demand. The weather having moderated somewhat, the con sumption is not near so great. St. Patrick's Literary Society". We understand contemplate producing the comedy, "Rory O'Moore" on St Patrick's Day, in the evening a jolly good time to have some fun.

A druuken individual with a bad cut on his head and his clothes covered with blood was found leaning up against a front street building fast asleep earty Sunday morning. Two good Samaritans conveyed him to his boarding house, where, upon examination, it was found his wound was painful though not serious. Sam Adams will build a house 24x24 on his lot on Second street, work to begin at once. R.S.Osborne is just finishing a house on the same street. This street is beginning to loom up. and can boast of a good sidewalk nearly its entire length. J. I. Nesbitt and H. M. Grimes have formed a law partnership. Having worked together for a long time, they thought it best to unite their strength by a partnership in fact They are both full of energy and ability, and when they take hold of a" case no stone is left unturned if its turning will add strength to their case. A meeting will be held at the Baptist church this afternoon for the purpose of organizing an undenominational religious association which will have in view the prosecution of church work by the com bined denominations of the city. All those interested are requested to be present The Neil Burgess company have se cured the opera house for Feb'y 13th. Fifteen years ago Neil Bureess bore the reputation of being one of the best, if not the best comedians in tha country and it is fair to presume he has lost none of his fun making qualities. We predict he will give our people a great show. Instead of being treated (?) to a talk on the virtues of Wizard Oil, the audience at the opera house Saturday evening was forced to endure a tirade against a three line item which appeared in The Tri- uuxe last week- - J nasra ucb. as s the..item J has been in town this Isaac No. 3.

But we are not findine fault. The .iutentions of bomo ot them, slow in executing crrtrr little our people are however, are a good intentions. Our country correspondents occupy a good deal of space in The Tribune this week. This is what we want. The Tribune is published for the benefit of Lincoln county' live, energetic corres pondence from every part of the county every week being wanted but we confess we are too often compelled to make up the paper almost exclusively with North Platte news. More than half of our sub scribers reside in the country, and their respective districts are entitled to a share of space ; but we cannot give their news unless it be furnished. Keep up the work, gentlemen. Mable Heath The Ogallala Char itable Association will render the comedy of the above name at Lloyd's Opera House on Saturday evening, Febuary 4th. As the proceeds are to be devoted to charitable purposes we trust the company will be greeted by a large audience. While it is a home company from what we have heard, we believe the merits are up to if not superior to those of profes sionals, and certainly far superior in some respects. Commenting on the play when rendered in that town the Ogallala papers speak very highly of the performance, criticising each actor in detail. When they come here, we trust our neighbors from Ogallala will receive a cordial and enthusiastic greeting. It has been rumored for some time that Postmaster Ferguson contemplated resigning, but it was not generally believ ed he had done so, until the press dis patcher announced the appointment of C. M. Wherry, whose nomination was sent to the senate this week. The work of the office is very confining and has injured Mr. Ferguson's health very much. Dur ing Mr. Ferguson's incumbency of " two years and a half we believe there have been no more than the average number of complaints that are bound to be made re garding the conduct of a post office, and the people have been well satisfied with the management of the office. 3Ir. Wherry is a young man highly esteemed in this community, and will no doubt in a short time become thoroughly familiar with the business . It will be three or four weeks before he can take possession, aB it takes some time to get a bond forwarded and approved. TnETitiBUNE is never happy unless engaged in that which will redound to the prosperity and enjoyment of the people. Its efforts to induce eastern people to come to this country has been heretofore crowned with success, and the following notice, clipped from the Mount Union (Pa.) Times, indicates that more people will come to this haven through knowledge obtained from The Tribune: "A copy "of The Lincoln Countt Tri bune, published at North Platte, Ne braska, of which our former townsman IraL. Bare is" one of the editors, is'before us. - It is a well edited paper and is well patronized by the business men of that place. There is ono and one half columns of advertising in it which would possibly do 6ome good if circulated in Mount Union . Twenty-six young men between the ases of 20 and 3o years, and all occupying good positions offer themselves in the market, ready to receive leap year proposals.

Mr. D. had lived just about as, long without The Tribune as ho could stand it, and he called and deposited the shekels for a one years' course. Hereafter he will surely be happy. Nicholas Guss, section boss on the B. Sa M. near Somerset, called Wednesday and ordered The Tribune sent to a friend in the east. Mr. Guss is an enthu siastic G. A. R. man, as well as an admirer of this fine country. He believes that every subscriber should send a paper back to his old home and thereby induce another settler to locate among ua. E. B.Knapp representing a boot and shoe house of Grand Island was in town this week and informed us that an eastern syndicate who have in view the growing of sugar beets for the purpose of manu facturing sugar from them ; will probably locate there. They ask a bonus of f 5,000 and a peice of land. If they get them an outlay of $400,000, the employment of 400 to 500 men with as many teams will be needed. He also said that a Chicago revivalist with the assistance of the clergy of Grand Island was holding meetings to immense crowds. All business places and saloons closing at 7 o'clock every evening.

V. R. R. in coming up as one of a double header on No. 1 on the 22d broke a "spider" in right cylinder and had to "drop out" of the run. A car loaded with barrel staves had a journal broken on the 2 Dlv. this week, being too heavily loaded. Engine 823, in pulling a train down from Sidney on the 22 slipped an accen tric six times. The same engine, W. J. Stewart's, went out on train 19 on the night of 22d, broke a side rod and eccen tric strap. The company have leased a number of engines from the St. Joe and Grand Island R.

The St. Joe & Grand Island engine No. 34 what in railroad parlance is called a "hog" passed through the first of the week on her way to the western division. Articles of incorporation of another railroad that will give North Platte a close shave if it don't come to our city, have been filed at Lincoln. It is the Ne braska Southern Railway with E. P.

The affair promises to be a very pleasant and pappy one. The showman' was safe when he offered to give the poor widow a thousand dollar Lincoln county jail bond. County Clerk Evans had sent them down to Lin coln to the auditor for registration, where a defect was discovered in the printed portion of the bond, the fault of the lawyer who drafted the form. New bonds will have to be prepared and for warded for registration. The third Apollo dance of the season was held at the opera house Tuesday evening.

The action of both parties in the House on the Carlisle-Thoebe con test on Saturday was discreditable.

They show ed an equal lack of leadership in calling it up when they were sure to be beaten.- New York World, A Gem of an Item. Passing down Spruce street one day this week tha attention of a Tribune re porter was arrested by the presence of several ladies, the unusual activity of two or three men and the still more unusual silence of a gang of small boys in front of Charles S. Cliktok's Jewelry Store, Girding up his loins, metaphorically speaking, and drawing his usual weapon a note-book -the word warrior hastened to the scene. To say that the reporter was dazzled would would be drawing it mild. Giving Mr. Clinton's diamonds, rubies, sapphires and pearls credit for a great deal of effect, the reporter must admit that ( the ladies eyes rivaled the glittering of the jewels which were re flected in them. Mr. Clinton's assistant requested us to be seated and in a moment the proprietor himself would wait upon us. On entering the store one is struck with the air of neatness and elegance which prevails; the complete finish that ono only sees and feels in a place ot business that is thorough in all its appointments and details. Since our last report of the progress of this branch of North Platte's business and this house in particular, C. S. Clinton has been obliged, because of increase of business, to occupy the space formerly used by I. E. Van Doran. The room has been repapered, new show-cases added, the floor laid with matting, and the stock enlarged. The additional space ho now occupies gives Mr. Clinton an op portunity to better display his large assortment of gold and silver plate ware, of which one set of three pieces needs especial attention. It is a tete-a-tete, handsomely chased, and to the reporter's eye was suggestive of "Simon pure" com fort with an. alloy of cream and' suear. Having done justice to an imaginary dish of strawberries and cream, eaten with a real silver spoon in antique design with sugar and cream from the above set, the reporter felt much better and proceeded to discuss the merits of clocks now in use and the fancies people have. Having feasted his eves on the manv beautiful ideas expressed in the designs of the ware and clocks, the reporter was invited to a seat in the cozy office where, during a temporary lull in busi ness, Mr. Clinton enlightened the scribe as to the various processes of manufacture which watches and clocks pass through before they are ready for this market; from the small chatelain, about as targe as a nickle, in which the works are as perfect as possible and frequently costing $100, to the large old fashioned "bull-eye" watch that was made 200 years ago, and from the old wooden wh eel clocks down to the most improved foreign "clocks of to-day. Imported clocks in ebony, brass, mahogany, rosewood, Cherry and walnut are .on the shelves at this popular store. The tkth Thomas clock, for all purposes, is the favorite and come in designs that snit verone from the critical connoissuer to the less esthetic every-day folks. After receiving much information on this sub ject, thj& reporter asked where' the finest diamonds came from. "I think," said Mr. Clinton, "the Kimberly mines of South Africa are at present producing as fine stones as the world has ever seen." He thereupon showed the newspaper man severaljvery fine Kimberly two and three carat st6ne of "purest ray." "They do not cosae iiigh for the quality of the goods. Ihave found that it pays to sell diamonds at a feir profit and thus be able to close theaajbat soon after receiving them. In thk Way I always manage to have new 4esig& and stones on hand and no old stock;, to bother me. Ihave here some very dm Bwrmah rubies, pearls from the Indian joccan, emeralds, opals, garnets and sappfcire8 which I think cannot be sur asafi for elegance in setting.'price coa aidcrfjA."

The reporter waved his han I in deprecation of the statement, but Mr Clinton continued; "its a fact, they werja well trained team, too; starting and stopping at the word of command of theiij master. Oh, yes, I saw them through a microscope, of course." The scrihe was converted, and more customers comiing in than Mr. Clinton's assistant coul cused himself to show an Omaha lady nn elegant bracelet, and a smile of satisfac tion 1 chased the cash into his money drawar as she paid for her purchase. After a few common-place remarks the reporter took his departure, regretting that iy could not replace his paste pin with Jon-)f the elegant diamond ones kept in stock by "Mr. Clinton. He, the scribe however, has resolved that when his salary k commensurate with his posi tion he will indulge in the luxury of a genuine diamond, and he further re solved that he would buy it at Charley Clinton's Jewelry Store where he would be sure to get a good stone at a fair price.
