VALEDICTORY.
Having sold my interest in The
Tbibune to Mr. S. R. Moulden, my
connection with the paper as editor
has ceased. I have taken this step
with regret. The people of North
Platte and Jiincoln county have
been so uniformly kind to me that
to leave them seems like parting
from family relations. In my
heart I shall always cherish a warm
memory for North Platte, and ever
look upon the years I have lived
here as the most pleasant of my
life.
I sincerely thank the people for
the very liberal patronage they have
bestowed upon The Tubune, and I
am confident that under the new
management the same will be mer
ited and received by the paper in
the future. "Very respectfully,
L. A. Stevens.
S. R. Moulden having pur
chased the one-half interest'in The
Tribune formerly owned by Mr. L.
A. Stevens, who has so ably per
formed the duties incumbent upon
him, we desire to state that the
paper will continue to give loyal
support to that greatest of all po
litical parties the Republican and
that every effort will be made to
.sustain the reputation which the
paper enjoys, that of being the
leading paper published in Lincoln
county. We shall always have at
heart the best interests of North
Platte and Lincoln county and will
be found on the crest wave of
everything that pertains to the
material advantage of the citizens
of this fair city and county. In
conclusion, we ask the hearty co
operation of Republicans and" citi
zens generally, and promise them
that The Tribune can always be
found upon the side of right and
justice. Babe & Moulden.

seems to be generally conceded that
this question is a non-partisan issue.
and each individual in the partv is
left free and untrammelled to vote
thereon as in his best judgment he
may choose. There is but little
doubt but what there were as many
delegates to the convention who
were in favor of prohibition as there
were who were opposed to it. but
aside from one or two there was no
attempt to force the issue at all.
An-appropriation of $2,000 has
oeen made by the United States
senate for the purpose of experi
menting as to the practicability of
producing rainfall by artificial
means, and one of the plans sug
gested is that of attaching twenty
five pounds of dynamate to a toy
balloon and send several of these
balloons in the air, fuses being at
tached to ignite the dynamite.
During the war, after heavy battles,
rain generally fell, and this knowl
edge has suggested the dynamite
and balloon idea. The experiment
will at least be interesting if not
productive of good. The arid lands
of the West will vet be watered by
some mechanical agency.
The Illinois legislature adjourned
Friday, after adopting a joint reso-
ution submitting to a vote of the
people an amendment to the state
constitution by which the city of
Chicago can issue bonds to the
amount of $5,000,000 for the pur
pose of aiding the World's Fair.
The people of the state are practi
cally unanimous in favor of the
amendment, therefore there can be
no further doubt as to the directors
having sufficient money with which
to make the fair a success. The
site selected for the location of the
fair is the lake front and Jackson
park, and a better selection could
not have been made. The people
of the United States are deeply in
terested in the success of the fair,
and the belief is general that it will
eclipse anything of the kind ever
before undertaken. I

The report that is being circu

Dorsey has withdrawn from the
race for a renomination is apparent
ly without foundation, as it cannot
be traced to any reliable source.
The state Republican ticket nom
inated at Lincoln ten days ago

worthy the support of all Repub
licans, and if this is given there can
be no question as to the result in
November.
The United States war ships
Enterprise, Tallapoosa, Pensacola
and Essex, have been ordered to

President Habrison's message
to congress on the subject of lottery
legislation is timely, and should be
acted upon without delay. The
octopus has Louisiana firmly within
its clutch, and it remains for a Re
publican congress to give freedom
to the victims of the monster by
purifying the mail service.

the carrying of letters by express

editor of the Teibuite, after paying
at the rate ot fro per dozen tor spring

give the farmer more than 2.50

be an arrangement between the
merchants to beat down to the very
lowest possible point the price of
an article that does not go very
readily, when they find some one at
the town with such an article for
sale. Another reason is that we can
buy goods to better advantage at
home. Many of the staple articles
are much lower at Gaudy, and the
market for hogs has been higher
right along than at North Platte.
