The weather for the past month has

would not be out of place.

The suit of P. Walsh as contractor
against W. F. Cody for balance due on
building, was tried before the county
court this week, occupying a part of three
days. The jury rendered a verdict for
the plaintiff, but cut down his claim
nearly one-half. It is said both sides are
dissatisfied with the verdict, and the case
will likely go up to the district court.
Hershey & Co. one day this week
sold the first and only side-hill plow we
have seen in this part of Nebraska, and
it was the only one they had in stock.
While quite common in some parts of
the east, such plows are seldom required
oa the plains of Nebraska . Occasionally
however a man's land may lie in such
shape that they can be used to advantage.
The brewing company does not seem
disposed to throw impediments in the
way of straightening Spruce street. At
the suggestion of the council, the com
pany changed the location of the ware
hoase so that the building will stand on
the east side of the street. This leaves
the ground proposed to be taken for the
street unoccupied, and the belief is that
the street can be changed without much
difficulty.
"The North Platte Club" is an organ
ization recently formed in the city with a
present membership of about eighty. The
club has several objects in view, the one
paramount being that of sociability. The
writer has not been present at any of the
meetings held, but he understands that
apartments in the business part of the
city will be rented and nicely furnished
to be used as a rendezvous for members
of the organization. A meeting was held
last week and officers elected for one
month. Another meeting was called for
last evening. Next week the definite
objects of the club will be stated through
these columns.
At the National Encampment in
Ohio last summer the order of Sons of
Veterans' was reported as being in a flour
ishing condition in many States, there
being a large number of members of the
organization present In Nebraska, for
some reason, most of the camps have
failed to keep up organization,' the camp
in this city being no exception. As this
society will be the successor of the Grand
Army, which cannot endure but a few
years longer, the importance of main
taining the organization can be readily
seen. We understand an effort will soon
be made to revive the Camp in this city,
the prospects being that greater interest
be manifested by the members. The

-The county commissioners have
finished the work of reappraising the
State school lands in this county. There
are not many changes in valuation A
portion of the land in the valley was in-
crersed, but that in outlying districts is
the same as formerly. Tho total valua

were sent to the Commissioner at Lincoln.
-The telephone put up by the water
works company does not work well, the
ault we believe bp-ing attributed to the
wire. When the proper kind is obtained,
the outfit will likely answer the purpose
or which it is designed . Should it not,
however, there is a probability that the
department will have to get along with

patented instruments is out of the ques

finances.

-Maj. Walker has received full par
ticulars regarding the death of his broth
er Albert The sad event was caused by
the careless handling of dynamite car
tridges. All preparations having been
made for a blast of rock, the cartidges
were brought from the storehouse where
they were kept in a frozen condition.
hey were placed on tho stove in the
office of the company over a gentle fire to
thaw. This process not taking effect with
the rapidity desired, Mr. Walker, being
the foreman of the blasting party, placed
them on the stove on a sheet of paper.
The paper soon ignited, and Mr. Walker
seized two of the cartridges and rushed
for the w ash bowl only a few feet away,
while other occupants of the room rushed
or the doors. Before the water was
reached, the cartridges exploded in
Walker's hands. Both of Mr. Walker's
hands were blown to atoms and his body
was otnerwise terribly mangled, out he
ived. several hours. Four other persons
received serious injuries.
We don't know whether our stock

After this at a fire you had better

ry away a bale of goods, a box of cigars,
or a bottle of 'Red river water" without
detection will be slim indeed, and if you
attempt any such thing yeu will be lodg
ed behind the cold and clammy doors of
the city bastile, there to ponder over the
uncertain outcome of "ways that are dark
and tricKs that are vain." We are led to
this definite conclusion by readiagthe
list of special policemen appointed by
his honor the mayor last Monday evening
and which will be found elsewhere in
these columns of record. When you
read the names you will arrive at the
same conclusion. An ounce of preven
tive is better than a "right smart" -of cure.
His Honor probably had this in mind,
when he made the appointments, only he
reasoned that if an ounce was good a:
pound would be better, and so he threw
in a whole hundred weight or more. The
effect desired will be a certain result.

The "Golden Gate Special" passed
through the city Wednesday at five p. m.
on its initial trip west. The train was
made up of five cars, the dining car"Casa
Monica," two sleepers, "Khiva" and
"Rahula," the observation car "Aladdin"
and the baggage car "Golden Gate," the
latter containing bath rooms, barber shop ,
and the dy names with which the incan
descent lights 'are made. The cars are
all palatially furnished, the rear part of
the "Aladdin" containing an elegant
library and furnished with reclining
chairs, the sides of the car being plate
glass. All the cars are of the vestibule
pattern, making it possible to pass from
one car to another without coming in con
tact with the outside air. Several hun
dred people were at the depot to see the
'wonderful train.
-City Tresurer Dick made a statement
to the council Monday evening to the ef
fect that there were about $ 500 in the city
treasury that he did not know what to do
with a surplus caused by the 15 per cent
over the amount of warrants drawn on
the levy. At this piece of information
there was a sudden stillness prevaded the
chamber. Then the countenances of the
members began to spread until the vacant
space in the room was covered with a
broad and pleasant smile, soon assuming
audible proportions. This chunk of news
was so unexpected that a vote of thanks
was at once privately proposed thanking
Treasurer Dick for the very able and ef
ficient manner in which he was perform
ing his duty. Everybody was in good
humor. '
After a number of years of faithful
service, Tommy Reed has been promoted
to the dignity of policeman. On petition
of worthy citizens good and true, Mayor
Ormsby presented his name to the coun
cil as special guardian of the courthouse,
and the nomination was at once confirm
ed. Tuesday evening, many of the coun
ty officials being present, County Attorney
Nesbitt presented him with a star, the
outward emblem of his office, in a few
well chosen remarks. The star was as
large in size as Tommy is big in heart
and faithfulness. Being overpowered by
conflicting emotions at this unexpected
token of his friends, he could only reply
by a simple "thank you" and a promise
to do his duty faithfully without fear or
favor. It was not long

City1 Council Proceedings.
The physical forms of our Mayor and
city fathers may not have assumed that
rotund appearance supposod to be neces
sary in the typical Alderman, but no fat
Alderman was ever more jocund. They
are the embodiment of jolly good nature,
or at least they were iihen a Tribune
scribe dropped in at their meeting Mon
day evening. One special reason for this
was that the city treasurer had just re
ported some good news; but they are al
ways in geod humor, and if thero is any
virtue in good nature we predict that
their averdupois will be largely increas
ed before the waning of many moons.
But to business.
Warren Lloyd presented a petition ask
ing that James Flinn be appointed a
special policeman to serve in the opera
house without salary. The Mayor ac
cordingly presented the name to the
council for confirmation as such police
man, and the nomination was approved
without a dissenting vote.

A Proposition From
Analysis of the Water.
The passage of the motioa by the
council Monday evening, aotifyiag the
Water Works company to sink their
wells to the depth stated in the contrast,
is a virtual rejection of the weriw'oa the
part of the city, although a somewhat In
direct way of doing so. Properly the
question should have come ap la a differ
ent form, on a direct motion ite accept the
test as complying with all the reqaire
ments of the contract. Then a rejection
or specified cause would have been ia
order.
Since the above was in type the water
works company have made the proposi
tion to the council that if .they will accept
the wells as they now are" the company
will agree to Keep up the present excel-
ent standard of purity of the water and
to allow the councils in the future to have
the water tested yearly, one half of the
expense of the same to be borne by the
company, and if at any time the "water
should prove to be contaminated by sur-
ace water, to allow the city to withold
the hydrant rental until the wells are
sunk to the contract depth. .

Closed the Doors.
The store of Grady & Egan was closed
yesterday afternoon by the First National
Bank on a chattel mortgage given to se
cure a loan. All the principal creditors
were secured in the same way.
This step was caused by inability to
make collections, the firm having been
doing a very extensive credit business.
' The stock is very large and the belief
is that it will invoice a sufficient amount
to pay all liabilities aggregating nearly
$20,000. There will be some loss on the
book accounts. When their afftirs are
straightened up, Messrs. Grady & Egan
propose to commence anew on the cash

The analysis of this water from North
latte shows an excellent qualitv due to
the very small amount of organic matter
in tne iorm 01 tree amonia and albumin
oid, and therefore I do hot hesitate in
pronouncing this water to be Dure and
wholesome for potable and all domestic
purposes. The following figures mar
show the hardness to be a little above the
average but still I have the firm opinion
that it will answer all purposes for laun
dry work with excellent results, and fur
ther I have proved this to be the case by
actual practice. The water is crystal
clear and tastes .most "refreshing,-due to
the bi-carbonate of lime and small amount
of chloride of sodium. The following
shows its degrees of hardness: "

Thus $43.00 matures a share of $100,
making it a better investment than is of
ten offered. Many can get homes in this
way and many who are working for small
wages by the month can get a start in
life by taking a few shares. It costs
$3.50 a month, or about 12 cents per day
to carry five shares and in sixty months
they mature and pay $500 in a lump,
which amount cash in hand would start
many a poor fellow in business.
The different Sunday schools of the

To Farmers.
I desire to inform the farmers of Lin
coln county and vicinity that I have gone
into the hog buying business, and will
take all the live hogs that can possibly be
brought in. My facilities for handling
and shipping are such that I can at all
times pay the highest market price, and
in this respect will not be beaten by any
competing point.
Bring on your hogs!
