What promised up to the eve of
election day to be a quiet and one
sided affair, turned out to be a warm
ly contested election, in some re
tweets, albeit good feeling prevailed
throughout the day. The fight was
for mayor and the school board.
For a week those who are dissatis
fied with the course of Mayor Ham
mond, principally on the dog tax
Question, were trying to get a can
idate to make the race, but only on
the eve of election were they able
to secure the consent of an availa
ble man, C. F. Ormsby, Mr. Ham
mond's old opponent. The polls
were scarcely open before it was
apparent from the number of work
ers that the boys had gone into the
fight with the intention of making
it hot for the mayor, and the atmos
phere was more or less warm about
the polling places all day. Mr.
Ormsby was elected by a large ma
jority. For other city-offices there
was not much contest, the .rotefti ;
being allowed to cast .thair ballots
almost without solicitation.
For members of the school board
there were five candidates, the con
test being more for individual pref
erence than on any issue. The
friends of the respective candidates
made quite a spirited canvas, many
women especially taking consider
able interest, about 100 ballots be
ing cast by them. It is safe to say
they carried the day, the candidates
for whom they voted being general
ly elected.
There was no opposition to E. B.
Warner for clerk or to C. P. Ross

There were two councilraen elect

Adjourned to April 14.
The Wallace House and Meat
market have each been treated to
paint the last few days, which adds
much to their appearance.
Several car loads of emigrant sup
plies were unloaded here last week.
Our friend Pringle, formerly of
Hamilton county, gave us a pleasant
eall last week. We were somewhat
surprised to find him engaged in the
grain business at Grant.
Ed. Nation made a business trip
to Grant Saturday.
There is likely to be war between
our lumber yards and the contract
ors here, on the prices of lumber.
Hawk Eye, a correspondent of
the Herald, writing to that sheet
last week, says "that they are going
to dislocate the school 3ite in Dis
trict No. 50."' Fan us with a tooth
pick.
Flax will be the leading crop of
small grain this season.
N. C. Myers one of the founders
of "Old Wallace" had the misfor
tune to get his store building at
Somerset and contents burned to the
ground Sunday night.
Will Commons' father and
brother of Nemaha county, this
state, arrived here Sunday with two
car loads of household goods, farm
implements, stock, etc. Agricola.
Eds. Tribune: We all enjoy
reading The Tribune as it contains
so much county news. I regret this
precinct is not oftener reported, and
will try and give you a few items
from time to time.
We used to have parties and an
occasional dance, but the Gaslin
folks have stopped that now on ac
count of a Swede preacher having
meetings two or three times a
month. They .say he is very good
and means what he says. We are
also having Sunday school. Rev.
Stump was down a couple of times
this winter and every one here in
Gaslin thinks very highly of him.
Ike Wells' little girl has been
very sick for the last two weeks.
Dr. Smith of Gothenburg was called
to attend her. She is better now.
Very near all the children in the
vicinity have been sick with colds
and fever.
Andrew Gustafson and Isaac
Wells are busy fencing their pas
tures.
The farmers around here feel
more cheerful since the late rain
and snows. Before the snow came
the ground was to dry to plough,
out now it worKs nicely.
Manv of the farmers in this vi
cinity nave run short of corn and
been compelled to buy. Potatoes
are also short. When we farmers
have potatoes to sell we haul them
to North Platte and get 25 to 30
cents per bushel for them; but when
we have to buy we pay 60 and 8u
cents. That makes the shoe pinch,
don't it?
Mrs. Anderson is very fond of her
Durham cow, and well she may be,
for the cow is a fine animal.
Claus Johnson has been planting
quite a number of trees this week.
There is some talk among young
folks about surprise parties. Some
starry night we will surprise W.
D. Lyle (we think he has been
slighted long enough) and also-Ben.
Owens and several obher bachelors
who reside hereabouts too numerous
to mention.
Miss Emma Ericson is 'going to
commence teaching school in the
Red School House, April 9th.

The grass is beginning to look
up, not quite knee high, but is get
ting there.
Base ball is coming to the front
again; the hay seeders are putting
in their best licks. Some talk of
sending a nine to Australia the
coming summer. One of the field
ers caught 2 ball on the fly the last
training dav. You never saw so
jolly a set. All hands adjourned to
take a drink snow water.
The Fox Creek school house is
completed. It is also insured aud
ready for another fire. There are
some complaints about a new dis
trict coming too close to this house
but I learn matters will be adjusted
that all may be happy again.
Messrs. Hobbs & Sibley furnished
your beef eaters with some corn fed
cattle said to be nice animals.
Jonathan Welch is suffering with
an attack of rheumatics.
I learn that Mrs. Windsor Hunt
is dangerously ill.
Wheat sowing in full blast, oats
getting there in good shape.
Good Friday was a little early for
potatoes. Ira Miltenberger is far
in advance of any potato man, has
had them planted for three weeks,
possibly may stay planted.
It looks like old times to. .see
Uncle Bibner riding after cattle.
There is some, loud talk about or
ganizing a board of trade in this
vicinity. Some want an exchange
building erected on the corner of O
and 165th Sts. It takes too much
time to ride from one ranch to an
other, as is now done. A building
must be had, if only four stories
high. This will indicate that trade
is brisk.
The ladies are having quite social
times at carpet rag tackings; gentle
men are not admitted. Tins means
some r attling old jokes on the men.

Kobert btockdale has the cosiest

John Carver .has moved into his
new home, 'tis quite an improve

We want preaching in our neigh

preacher or Sunday School we. will
be compelled to accept a missionary.
There will be no need to go to

It is officially announced that the
Burlington company will build no
more lines in Nebraska this year.
There are a number of important

.heavy losses sustained by the com
