Joseph R. Casey and Gertrude E.

Tuesday evening. Some comment was
caused by the event, on account of the
youthfulness of the groom, being but a
little over eighteen years old. Both par

Geo. B. Coburn, formerly special
agent of .the-, general land office, has re

of years.

E. N. Heeler, the pioneer settler of
Willow precinct and master of the post
oflce bearing his name, was in the city
Wednesday. Like in all parts of the
covnty, everything in his precinct looks
well, and indications for an abundant crop
are indeed promising. Warm weather is
tka next thing wanted.
Hugh Ralston paid the taxes for the
Rock Island syndicate last Saturday on
their land in this county, amounting to a
little over $ 1,500. 3Ir. Ralston was well
satisfied with his assessment in this coun
ty, the tax being only about $20 per sec-
MB, 640 acres, on an average. He didn't
fata quite so well in Keith'county, some
seoos there being as higk jus $40.
Corn planted early, before the late
starsas commenced, has decayed in the
ground to such an extent as to necessitate
replanting in many cases. In the eastern

The ball to be given on the evening
of the 29th by the fire laddies should be
well patronized. North Platte has a fine
set of firemen and the citizens should see
that they are supplied with uniforms.
The object of this ball is to secure suits
for the Third Ward llose Uo., tne J? irst
sad Second ward companies being al
ready supplied.
Some of the foreign holders of Keith
cauaty land have "caught it in the "neck"
pretty heavily this year in the matter of
taxes, the amount on some sections being
as high as $80. This is owing very
largely to the school tax, quite a number
of districts haying voted the full limit, 25

lands lie; are "heeled" for several years to
come. The land sharks must educate the

Our old time and well tried republi

having once brought the good old ship to

oat the'dightest loss, we will always con
tinue to sail on to victory; and he is per
fectly willing that Hon. J. I. Nesbitt and
his "bull team" of. able bodied seamen
shall man the ship. Jerry may not be as
careful in the preservation of his spring
chickens ai some, but for kindness and
hospitality he stands the peer of any man
in the county.
Throughout the whole of the south
eastern part of the county, wheat and oats
are looking splendidly, and the farmers
are very busy planting corn ; and when
you consider that each of them is prepar
ing and planting from 75 to 100 acres, it
is an evidence that we are surrounded by
a farming community, and that the name
"ranchemen" is a misnomer. The rains
we have had, and are having, delight the
grangers' hearts, and they go to their
work with an energy born of the hope
that they wili.reap a bountiful harvest.
Joy, wealth and prosperity go with them
for they are right good fellows.

The street commissioner should
devote his attention to opening the street
drains as soon as possible, notably those
that have been obstructed bv lavinir the

Evidently the cold wave reached its
culminating point Friday morning, when
the mercury was down to the freezing
Soint, there being quite a severe frost,
fot much harm was done, however, the
ground being so warm, in some cases not
even beans being injured. The cold was
general throughout the plains region.
A very pleasant party was given by
Mrs. J. Ouimette on Thursday night last,
wnerein fifteen or twenty couples emoyed
themselves till 2 o'clock in the morning.
Dancing and singing was indulged in and
everybodj' expressed themselves that it
was the most enjoyable time they had
this year. The hostess certainly deserved
great credit for the success of the evening,
for her excel let refreshments and pleasant
ways made everybody feel at home.
The railroad company 'is making
some improvements about the 'depot
yards. The plot of ground about the

preparatory to seeding with blue grass.

is in the treasury. As little delay as
possible should be allowed in the comple
tion of that structure. To say nothing of
the unsafe condition of the present
Bastile, possibly prisoners confined there
in may have ground for damage suits
against the county for being confined in
an unhealthy jail. Whatever the law may
be in other -countries, in America the
prisoner has a right to a reasonably
healthy place of confinement.
We have recently received another

The concert given by the Woody

the M. E. Sunday school hold on, let's
see: Woody Bros, got 60 percent, the
house 15,. and the school 15; we rather
think it was for . the benefit of Woody
Bros. was not very largely attended.
The singing .was very fair.'but most of
our people think no better than some of
our ameteurs can give with a little
practice. As a result of the concert, the
treasury of the Sunday school isnot load

If any of the readers of this journal
have occasion, when on either business or
pleasure bent, to pass through the south
eastern part of the county, they should
not fail to visit the equery of Mr John
Watt of Deer Creek canyon. Excepting
the stables of Hon. Wm. P. Cody, Mr.
Watts has the fiuest horse ranche in the
county; and his horses are superior to
anything found in this part of the country.
He is engaged principally in the breeding
of trotting and carriage stock, but has
lately imported the celebrated Percheron
stallion, Mouton, weighing 1900 lbs.,
splendidly proportioned, he is a magnifi
cent specimen of the equine race. Any
one visiting Mr. Watt, will meet a per-
the consumer paying the freight both
ways, besides commissions and profits?
By being manufactured here, we would
get the benefit of the manufacturers'
profits, besides the increase of wealth and
population ne would bring into tne com
munity, and consequent increase in value
of property.
We believe that a soap factor' .on a
small scale could be made a profitable
industry at -this point. .The surplus
grease from butcher's stock is prac
tically worthless, the market price
at Missouri River points being so low as
to scarcely bear shipment It can be
utilized at home in the manufacture of
soap, saving, freights and laige profits to
jobbers and dealers on this necessity.
Some of our leading citizens are talk
ing up canning factory. An improve
ment of this kind would find a ready
market for its products, as immense
quantities of canned vegetables are con
sumed here and all over the plains and
mining regions. Our soil is peculiarly
adapted to the raising of vegetables of
superior quality, and the jield is enor
mous. In commencing these roanufacturies, it
is not necessary or' advisable to go in on a
large scale ; indeed the tendency is to
commence on. too large a scale, investing
too much money, and the enterprise
proves a failure because of inability to
pay interest on the investment. Com
mence small, the main object being to
produce as good an article as can be made
elsewhere, and there will be no danger of
finding sales at a fair profit.
Our board of trade can hold profitable
meetings for the discussion of these
subjects.

Decoration Day or Memorial Day,
Which?
Our attention hus been called to the
heading over the program of exercises
for May 30th. In the original as written
by A. H. Church the heading was "6. A.
R. Programme for May 30, 1888," but it
n as printed "G. A. R. Program for
Memorial Day." Is the latter correct, or
should it read "Decoration Day ?" Is the
question. W. M. Taylor, ursine all sol
diers of Curtis to turn out on Memorial
Day says: "The 30th day of May is Dec
oration Day and the Sunday previous is
Memorial Day." In the ofhcial call of
the W. R. C. of Nebraska, General Order
No. 3 commences : "On Mav 30th. the
Grand Army of the Republic will observe
the nation's memorial day."
The Omaha Republican alludes to the
30th as Decoration Day and in another
place in the same article as Memorial
Day. .
In recent proceedings of the W. R. C.
in Lincoln the following sentence occurs :
'A -general order of the national and slsp
one of the department W. R. C. were
read, pertaining to the beautiful obser
vance of memorial day, when every gar
den is robbed of its choicest bloom to
mark the resting places of thousands of
heroic soldiers."
From these expressions it is evident
May 30th is alluded to both as Memorial
and Decoration Day. Correctly speaking,
however, we believe that the 30th of May
is Decoration Day, and the Sunday pre
vious Memorial Day.

them up and with the assistance of a posse
of citizens succeeded in arresting and

quietly and peacably until Thursday
evening, when a guard of soldiers arrived
from Fort Sidney to escort the runaways
