The O'Fallon precinct bridge bond?
were signed by the chairman of the board
of commissioners and county clerk on
Wednesday and forwarded to the auditors
omce at Lincoln for registration, Ihere
had been some talk that the officers would
be restrained by injunction from signing
them, but no attempt of the kind was
made, and we don't believe that any such
step was ever seriously entertained.
Two young men possessing some of
the fiery spirit which used to be found
in the old-time cowboys attempted to "ride
the town" Sunday, but were corraled by
the police authorities. One was fined
$10, while the other, who resisted the
officers, was compelled to draw fifty cases
from the flank of his jeans. It was ex
pensive fun for the boys.
There is a good deal of complaint
from the traveling public on account of
the transfer of Denver passengers at Jules-
burg from overland train No. 3. This of
course is a source of considerable annor-
ance to the company as well, and it is be
lieved that it would not take much of an
effort to have the train made up at this
point. Why should our board of trade
not make the effort? No opportunities to
increase the business of the city should be
allowed to pass. A petition should be
sent to the manager without delay.
After his arrival in San Francisco,
John Fitzgerald, who was lately trans
ferred to that station from this signal
office, evidently did not like the city and
climate, for he has just been assigned to
take charge of the office at Davenport,
Iowa, the order having been issued dur
the last week in March. He will likely
pass through the city on the way to his
new station in a week or two, and we
shall expect a brief visit.
Those who have read "She," and
there are few in our midst who have not,
will have an opportunity of seeing a dram
atization of the novel at the opera house
next Monday evening. It is a grand
spectacular play, and in order to make
room for the scenic effects, all the scenery
now in place at the opera house will be
taken out. There are over thirty people
in the company, and it is seldom so small
a town as North Platte enjoys the oppor
tunity of seeing a spectacular play, of
such dimensions as "She."
There are good reasons for believing
that Gen. Crook will select .North Platte
as the point for holding the encampment
of the recular army. Three sections of
land on the bank of North river just
above the citv have been offered for the
purpose. This place offers many advan
tages; free access to pure running water,
cheap forage, handy to the railroad, and
above all a healthfui location Gen.
Crook appreciates these advantages and
can see them at a glance.
A number of parties in this city and
in the vicinity of Gothenburg feel consider
able interest in one II. F. Parkins, who
recently resided near Gothehburc, but
who now, alas, is departed without leaving
with his dear .friends information of his
present domicu. nut tuey aon7t care so
much for the dear Parkins as they do for
the property he mortgaged to them for
divers and sundry valuable considerations,
and which he has sold and transferred to
parties unknown to the anxious friends
before referred to. Parties who loan
money on chattels require the aid of sev
eral private dectives to keep track of their
creditors.
The qualifications necessary to entitle
a woman to vote at a school election are:
she must have children of school age, be
a tax-payer in her own name on persenal
property assessed at tne previous assess
ment. or own real estate. She must be
twenty-one years of age or over. Women
who are desirous of exercising their right
to vote at the next school election, and in
the opinion of this woman's journal all
should, will do well to qualify themselves
this year by listing with the assessor some
property for taxation, if they are lacking
of other qualifications.
Observer Byram has prepared a table
showing the mean temperatuie and the
excess and deficiency for each vear by
months: the monthly precipitation, excess
and deficiency for each year by months;
prevailing direction of wind for each
month, its average daily movement and
maximum velocity: miscellaneous phen-
omina, such as date of first and lost frost;
maximum and minimum temperature
and date for each year; greatest precipita
tion and date of each year; number of
clear, fair and cloudy days and number of
days in which rain fell in each year, since
the establishment of the station in this
city, Sept. 1874 to date. The work of
searching all the records and putting the
data in form has been considerable. The
table is condensed on to one side of a
large sheet and is a bird's eye view of the
weather duiing the past fourteen years. ,

Mr. Hupfer desires us to correct the
statement made last week in regard to a

angry words did pass but there were no
blows and no fight.
The next event on the boards to take
place at Lloyd's opera house is the spec
tacular drama "She" by the Barrows &
Staley combination, on Monday evening
next. The play is now having quite a
run in eastern cities, and it is said to be
very entertaining.
Movers wagons have passed through
the city in larce number during the week,
advantage being taken of the fin weather

At the Presbyterian church Sunday
evening a children's Easter service was
held, consisting of songs and an address
by the pastor, after which the children
present were each presented with a beau
tifully colored Easter egg.
The social quietude which prevailed
during Lent was agreeably broken Monday
night by the A. O. U. Y . ball, wnico was
pronounced a social success by all attend
ants. The Select Knights appeared in
their handsome uniforms, giving the ball

Dan Burke believes in beautifying
one's home, and this week set out a row

half block in the west end of the city
He will run a wire fence along on each

The neatest and most novel Easter
show window was that arranged by Mr.
Simon of the Palace clothing company .
In addition to a fine display of goods, a
live cnicken sitting on a nestfull of eggs
was to be seen. Madame Hen was not,
apparently, disturbed by the crowd which
thronged around the window.
A good many parties are making cal
culations on using water from the water
works to irrigate their lawns, a number
having already sold their windmills. The
first we believe to take down the mill was
P. J. Gilman. By the first of May water
will be wanted for lawn sprinkling pur
poses, and it seems to be to the interest
oi the company to get the pipes in the
ground as soon as possible .

A farmer objects to our statement i
last week in speaking of profitable crops
that can be raised in this county, that
onions do reasonably well in this climate.
He contends that they not only do "reas
onably well" but are prolific. If Dractical
farmers would take piins to write their
experience with different crops. The
Tribune will cheerfully publish them,
and the information would no doubt be of
benefit to others.
The board of education has awarded
to J. K. Somers the contract to plant

One of the worst features in connec
tion with the teacher's profession, and the
most unfair to those who nave devoted
years to the work of teaching in this coun
ty, is the action of strangers from other
counties and states, rushing into the
county, without a cirtificate, engaging a
scnooi, and in a peremptory manner, re
questing the County Superintendent to
endorse their certificate. This is very
.discouraging to home teachers, and di
rectors should proceed very cautiously, as
the County Sup't may refuse to endorse.
the party engaged may fail to pass, and
the directors become personally liable for
salary.
A couple paragraphs of the commi?
sioners proceeding in last week's paper
got mixed up so as to become meaninirless
Below we republish the paragraphs as
they snould nave appeared: "Now comes
Mrs. Kowland and complains that tax on
her land is too high and asks to have the
same reduced. After comparison with
other property adjoining the board find
the valuation is not too high and that
there is no just ground for reducing the
same. JNow comes A. 15. Wvman and
complains that lots three and four block
175 were assessed in 1887 as improved
property and that the improvements were
put upon the lots after April 1st, 1887.
Referred to county attorney for advice m
the matter."
O. V. Coulter shot and killed an easrle
last weeK, one of the largest we have ever
seen. It was not a bald eagle but one of
the specie. It measured from tip to tip
seven teet ana tour mcnes. its neaa was
as large as a full grown house cat. Some
of its tallons measured over two inches in
length. Its leg at and aboye the joint,
was as a man's arm. Ave have no doubt
but that it could have carried off a five or
six year old child, or a half grown sheep
with ease. This species are very rare in
these parts, and are difficult to kill, this
one had gust caught and was eating a
large jackrabbit. It's a cold day when O.
V. don't get the game be goes for. He
made a present of it to Dr. Harris who
shipped it to a taxadermist at Omaha to
have it mounted. When it is finished it
will be placed on exhibition in his drug
house, a short time after which it will
find a home at his residence. Paxton

Just why Mayor Hammond was re
sponsible for the passage of the dog tax
ordinance, unless it was because he didn't
veto the bill, is somewhat difficult to
understand, but he has to bearthe respon
sibility all the same, and has suffered
perhaps where he was not really to blame.

has acted conscientiously, his nffl
being such as he considered for the best

Since the passage of the high license
dog law by our city legislature, man's
best friend is considerably less prominent
on the streets, he having evidently come
to the conclusion that City Marshal Pat
tesrnn is n. g., or at least that he is not a
friend of poor dogs who have no bank
account to speak of or $3 wherewith to
mollify his sternness. The law may have
been burdensome in some cases, but it
has at least had the good effect of ridding
the community of a lot of worthless curs,
of no earthly benefit to anyone. While
on this subject we might as well remark
that we believe the tax is too high ; and it
is discriminating anyway. In cities of
th first class a tax of only one to three
dollars is authorized, but in villages and
second class cities, where the people are
generally, poorer it is not less than three
nor more than ten. If anything this
should be reversed . A tax of one and
two dollars is about the right thing,
against which there would be no kicking,
We will adhere, nowever, to our
original opinion that dogs are
property and should be assessed as such.
A dog is worth anywhere from 25 to 100
dollars, and if assessed that way there
would be no way of avoiding payment of
the tax. That would be equitable and just,
treating all people alike, both in country
and city.
James O'Keefe, a brother of Mre. J. E. Grace
of thia city, until 1878 wa a fireman on the Un
ion Pacific oat of North Platte, when at that
time-bs left the city and went to Texas. He re
mained in that state some time and then visited
many other points, assaming a migratory dispo
sition and for quite a wkile his relatives lost
track of him. Near the close of last year a
brother's Mr. O'Keefe living in Grand Island re
ceived telegram from Sibley, Mo.,8tating that J
ntv t I 1 - n .
w .eeie nsa oeen Jauea tanstuias morning
by going. through a bridge while running an en
gine, bat later telegrams contradicted the first
and stated that no such accident had occurred.
Several letters were written to persons at Sibley
with the view of ascertaining if there was any
foundation for the report, bat notning could be
learned in regard to the matter and the relatives,
while suffering great anxiety, were hopef al that
James would torn np alive some day. A couple
months ago Dennis O'Keefe, a brother of James,
arrived from the east and located in the city.
and on Wednesday of last week received a letter
from his home in New York conveying tho in
telligence that money, letters and clothes pur-
purporting to belong to James had been shipped
there from Sibley. Upon receipt of this letter
Dennis immediately started for Sibley to find oat
if possible the facts in regard to his brother's
death and learned that he had fallen from the
bridge on Christmas morning while repairing the
structure in company with other members of the
bridge gang. He had been running an engine
on the road bat had quit and joined the bridge
gang about six weeks before the accident. Thus
the great anxiety which has prevailed in the
minds of the members of the family has been re
placed by a deep 'sorrow over their brother now
that proof of his death has been established. The
deceased was well known by many of the older
railroad men in this city who will regret to learn
of his death.

Fire at Somerset.
The" store of N. C. Myers at Somerset
in this county, caught fire early 3Ionday
morning and was consumed wiih all the
contents. We have not learned the par
ticulars or the loss, but presume that the
latter was not very heavy on goods, as Mr.
Myers spring stock had not arrived, hav
ing been delayed by the strike. Mr.
Myers was in this city at the time.
LATER.
The loss on building is about $750 and
on stock in the neighborhood of $3,000.
No insurance.
The fire is supposed to have been the
work of an incendiary.
The Weather for March.
In the northern hemisphere March is
counted one of the fickle months of the.
year tne old .hnglish called her a fickle
jade, all on account of the unreliability of
the weather produced during that month.
In the year 1888, March nicely sustained
her time-honored reputation. She came
in howling like a lion, and kept up the
racket, with an occasional intermission,
during the entire thirty-one days, failing
to fulfill the old saying about going out
like Mary's little lamb, or some other
young sheep. Taken altogether, however,
the .people of Lincoln county do not com
plain of the March weather, 'for she
brought an abundance of welcome snow,
so necessary for the production of good
crops.
From the monthly report of J . W.
Byram, observer at the North Platte
station, we gather the following official
records:
Mean temperature, 26.9.
Highest temperature, 74. on the 14th.
Lowest temperature, 13.7 on the 5th.
Monthly range of temperature, 87.7.
Greatest daily range, 42.1, on the 14th.
Least daily range, 5.8, on the 2bth.
Mean daily range, 24.5.
Mean daily relative humidity, 74.9.
Prevailing direction of wind, north.
Total movement of wind, 75 18 miles.
Highest velocity of wind, 39 miles.
Total precipitation, 1.44 inches.
Clear days 11, fair days.ll, cloudy days 9.
The mercury went below zero on the 2d,
3d, 5th, 7th and 27th. -
The month was the coldest March re
corded since the establishment of the
station in 1875.
