Some time since Miss Bertha Thoelecke, be
fore her election here, made application to teach
ia Omaha. Before teachers are employed in that
city ihey must pass a critical examination before a
board specially constituted for the purpose of pass
ing upon the qualifications of applicants. The
thoroughness of the examination may be inferred
from the fact that only about 50 per cent of the
applicants pass. Miss Thoelecke received a cer
tificate, of which she feels justly proud.

will not bo successful until an example is set. A

things, bat he may not be able io understand and
comprehend the information until he is approach
ed through his pocket A fine of ten dollars for
instance will open his eyes and comprehension and
he will erer after be able to bear the fact in mind.
Others will also take warning.

Thx Tbibune toilers, together with eighteen or
tweaty other residents, acknowledge the favor of a
serenade Friday night by a number of our gentle
men vocalists who-procured a four horse convey
ance and visited all sections of the city. They
were accompanied by the Italian harp and violin
players. The songs rendered by the boys were
excellent and with more practice they will be able
to produce music such as is seldom heard in North
Platte. The party was in charge of Arthur Mc
Kamara and J. D. Wilson to whom are largely due
tho credit of the affair. It is hoped the singers
will see fit to soon repeat the serenade.
At the meeting last week the council discussed
tk question of requiring druggists to keep a reg
ister and make a semi-annual report of liquor sold
as th law directs. The druggists of this city have
aevsr been required to perform this part of the
condition upon which they receive permits to sell
Masters for medicinal and mechanical purposes.
Tho saloon men think that if the Slocumb law is
strtsHy enforced on them, the authorities should
he aaaally as strict with the druggists. There is a
good deal of force in this reasoning, and yet the
tisas would seem to be inopportune to commence
to h too strict on the subject If the prohibition
ent carries we will have free liquor for
years anyway; if it does not-carry the re.
of the tow will be strictly enforced all
the line. It occurs to us that iaasmuch as
hare run loosely for so many years, there
' be no impropriety in waiting until after
before inaugurating a new policy.

About 10 o'clock on Friday night tost two
horsemen went dashing down Sprnce street as
hard as their horses could carry them. They ap
peared to be running- a race, one being about
twenty feet behind the other. At the corner of
Spruce and Fifth streets in front of Baelling's
store, the forward horseman came in contact
with a wagon driven by Tom Murphy. The
horse struck the left hind urheel, which was torn
squarely off, the rider being thrown a'rodor
more over the horse's head. Young Murphy's
horse ran away, and the boy was thrown from
the wagon striking oa his left shoulder, receiv
ing a severe injury. The fellow riding the for
ward horse was said to hare beea a fellow called
"fiismark." whe formerly lived over on the

Young prairie chickens are now beginning to

they become that nearly, every gentleman who
goes outside of the city Baiito for a walk carries a
breech-loading shot alerter protect himself, and is
frequently compelled-to kill large numbers, in
self-defense. The bite of tho prairie chicken
causes an ugly -wound, .but R seldom eds to
hydrophobia. In the latter ease a mad-etoae should
be applied so the injured part as soon as possible.

will draw a&af Imi siiamsms out of the Individual

the bite of a prairie chicken Is full of meanness.

Our Wealth.
We publish this week an abstract of
the assessment of property in this county
from wnicn something may be learned by
analyzation. There are three banks in
.North Platte, and their combiaed deposits
are over sauu.UOO, nearly all of wnich is
owned in this county. But under oath,
the peoplie have returned only $1,328,
very good evidence of how poor we are
when the assessor is around. But it is
not necessary to enlarge on this item;
there are many others fully as glaring
that will be found by an investigation.
Of diamonds and jewelry we have 219.
What has become of the $250 rings and
breast-pins worn by some of our fast rail
road men ? In gold and silver plate and
plated ware, the assessors have done
pretty well they have found $70o worth.
There are 24,000 cattle, nearly 13,000 hogs.
8,797 horses, 899 sewing machines, 108
pianos, aad 165 organs, all of which is a
very good showing. Money is the con
centrated essence of property, but it
escapes taxation almost wholly.
Impounded.
I have in the city pound a red yearling
steer wnose owner is unknown to me.
The owner is requested to call. Drove
property and take nim away.

Farmers were busy during the week
harvesting rye and barley. Dr. Longley
thinks these' two crops on his place will
be up to the average. Mr. Osgood has
the best rye he ever raised. Wheat as a
rule will be light, although there are
some exceptionally fine pieces, especially
on Morrow flats and along the Medicine.
Ud to Monday corn was standing the
drought capitally, although there were
numerous predictions that "another day
would finish it." A half dozen other
days came and still corn was all right.
With reasonable rains from this on corn
will be a fine crop. Potatoes need rain.
There is an undoubted falling off of
the interest felt in the national game of
base ball. We have not had a game in
this city during the season, and there is
apparently no demand for one. This is
not only true of North Platte, the game
has fallen into decay throughout the
state. The professional clubs are not
making any money this year, and several
have stranded on the shores of adversity.
This feeling may prevail for a year or
two when it will revive and become just
as strong as ever; but there,will not be
near so many professional clubs. When
these are driven out the home clubs will
be encouraged and appreciated.
The alarm bell tower is being torn
down and will be erected over the Second
vard hose house. The cause leading to
the removal is due to a refusal of the city
council to pay rent for the ground on
which the structure has been standing.
The understanding was that there was to
be no rent charged, but a letter asking
for recompense was sent in at the last
meeting of the council and the clerk was
instructed to have the tower removed if
the trustees of the church insisted on pay.
The new tower will stand on bents erect
ed in the hose house, the posts being
firmly anchored in the ground. An effort
will be made to have the tower in a more
artistic shape than the old one, about
which there was so much fault found.
Whether the workmen will be able to
accomplish this remains to be seen.
The creditors of Pat Walsh have had
lively times watching for property of that
oily individual. It was a mystery what
had become of certain tools and things
which had been spirited away in spite of
the closest scrutiny. Occasionally from
time to time something would be found
and pounced upon by a creditor quick as
the officers could hustle around. Not
long since an attempt was made to ship a
box to some one in Washington. Sus

Want Their Premiums.
Ed. Tribune: We notice in your pa-
per an announcement of a county fair this
fall, and it reminds us of the last fair and
its dealings, of which we wish to speak .
There was a premium offered for the
best display of agricultural products by
any one precinct. iMcnois precinct, in
tent on starting a precinct library and
having products that could not be beaten
in the state, made an exhibit that did
credit to Lincoln county and more to
build up our reputation as a producing
county than all the horseracing ever
done on the fair ground track, yet the
association paid the races, or most of.
them, and left the grangers without a
cent and they had to pay their own ex
penses.
.Nichols precinct won S126.00 in pre-
miums precinct and invidual premiums
besides the premium won by Paxton &
Hershey on fat cattle, not included in the
above .
The sugar beet premium was paid by
Mr. Hupfer and that wa3 only premium
received in our precinct.
Now the question naturally arises, does
the fair association expect farmers to
take part in the fair by making an ex
hibit after such treatment? If they do
they will be very much disappointed.
Not one of the persons who won a pre
mium last fall and failed to get it will
make an effort to win a premium this
fall. . Kover.
