Caa. McAllister, residing on the ditch, cut 160
acres of wheat this harvest which he has every
reason to believe will average forty bushels to the
acre, a total of 6.400 bushels. This is pretty good
evidence that it pays to irrigate in fact it seems
that the future prosperity of western Nebraska de
pends somewhat on Irrigation.
Dr. Spencer, of the Elckapoo Medicine Co.,
who was arrested and had a trial before Judge

A temperance orator who signed himself as
Crider the Iowa Cyclone," on the Pacific "hotel
register, spoke to a large audience at the Presby
terian church Sunday evening. According to his
owb statement he has been hung in effigy, rotten"

country precincts this week.
The Indian medicine company closed its en
gagement in the city last evening and to-day the
oatftt will be moved to Ogalalla. Hundreds of
dollars have gone into the exchequer of the com
pany since the opening night and as to whether the
people received much benefit from their investment
there is some room for doubt However, the en
tertainments furnished amusement for the general
public and on this score the people will probably
be satisfied even though the medicines sold do not
possess the curative qualities claimed for them.
At a meeting of the Board of Education Mon
day afternoon it was decided to put in city water
ia the four school yards and the plumbing was
awarded to J. F. Filllon for $204. It is proposed to
have two hydrants in each yard, one for drinking
purposes and the other for irrigating. The Board
appointed a committee to act in conjunction with
the Board of Health in examining the sanitary con
dition of the several school buildings. The con
tract for furnishing Pennsylvania hard coal was
awarded to the North Platte Lumber Co. An ad
journed meeting of the Board will be held next
Moaday.
Bev. A. Geo. E. Jenner, during his rec torship of
the Church of Our Savior, has received several
flattering colls from churches in different parts of
the country and The Tribune learns with regret
that he has decided to leave the city to assume the
duties of rector of a church in Duluth, Minn. It is
not flattery to say that Bev. Jenner's discourses
deserve larger audiences than those which assem
ble in North Platte, and it is only duty for him to
go where he can accomplish the most good. Mr.
and Mrs. Jenner will depart about September 1st
leaving behind them a large circle of friends and
acquaintances who will ever wish them prosperity
aad happiness.
Monday evening. August 18th, is the date set
for the home talent entertainment under the di
rection of Messrs. Heath cot and Walters. The
ladies and gentlemen who are to take part have
been diligently practicing and rehearsing for
several weeks past and the is no occasion why the
programme should not be rendered in .a satisfac
tory manner. The talent employed is second to
noaeln the city, and better than that found in
many traveling companies. The bill to be rendered
at this entertainment is as follows: Quartette,
"Breore of the Night," Messrs. Walters, Clinton,
Williams and Pugh. Scene from Richard in, Lady

.-could not be secured and the entertainment will be
given at Unitarian Hall. Reserved seats are placed
at fifty cents, a low price considering the excellent
programme to be rendered. The managers of the
entertainment have no desire ta make money; all
they ask is that the receipts be sufficient to cover
the neceeeury expenses, such as costuming, print
ing, etc

Uooa an Invitation previously extended
by Manager J. A. Goodman, about fifty of
our prominent ladies anc gentlemen on
Thursday evening last enjoyed the "novelty
of a moonlight picnic at the ranch of Col.
W. P. Cody. The party left the city
about half past seven o'clock and upon
reaching the ranch found that prepara
tion had been made for their arrival.
The spacious lawn surrounding the hand
some residence had been supplied with
tables and comfortable seats, and other
arrangements perfected which added to
their enjoyment. The ladies of the party
immediately commenced preparing the
lunch and It was a lunch worthy of re
cord. Its quality was on a par with its
quantity, and the feasters eat as they never
ate before, what a happy crowd sur
rounded the laded board! Every sem
blance of care and worry over the perplex-
mes or me naa vanisnea ana tne air re
sounded with merrv peals of laughter
It was a cool and charming evening and
the spirits of the party were bubbling
over with brightness and gaiety.
After the tables had been partially re
lieved of their load. Mr. and Mrs. Good
man, with their usual hospitality, extended
to the visitors the freedom of th .house,
and the invitation was accepted with
thanks. About this time Sneparo's or
chestra put in an appearance, and for sev
eral hours the large dining room was
tilled with merry dancers. Those who
had no desire to engage in tho mazes of
the waltz played cards in adjoining rooms
or pieasanuy cnatted on the veranda 'neath
tne refulgent rays of pale Luna.
And thus time passed until near mid
night, when the party took leave of the
people who had so materially assisted in
waiting uie evening one replete witn en
joymenf.

whereabouts of Dennis Redmond, who
left his home in this city July 30th and
when last seen by acquaintances was going
east on the U. if. track near Maxwell, lie
is about 65 years old, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches
in height, weight about 175 pounds, sandy
complexion, small chin whiskers. When
he left home he had on jean pants, light
flannel shirt, dark colored vest, no coat,

(State papers please copy.)
The unflattering prospect of a corn
crop in western .Nebraska has boomed
prices, and the farmers who cribbed and
saved their corn last winter are now in a
position to profit by their sagacity. The
yield last year in Lincoln county was
heavy, and as prices were low many farm
ers allowed part of their corn to waste.
They did not stop to consider that perhaps
the crop the following year would be a
failure. Others borrowed mouey to pay
for cribs and by so doing are now reaping
a handsome profit. As one instance of a
farmer who took care of his crop, we refer
to Isaac Falk, of Gaslin precinct, who last
week sold 500 bushelsto Chas. McDonald,
of this city, for thirty-three cents per
bushel delivered on the cars at Brady
Island. Up in Logan county farmers
who are lucky enough to have corn on
bund refuse to sell for less than one dol
lar per bushel.

ple of the city The Tribune would state

prevail.

The noble red roan i3 about ripe for a
labor union. Chief No Neck has returned
from Europe, where he had been serving
an engagement with Buffalo Bill's Wild
West show, being sick of the effete civili
zation of the old world . The chief was
interviewed by the reporters and In a
council that he held with them on his
anding in New York he said that his em
ployer, Bill, had given him a hundred
dollars to sav to the press that he had
been well treated, and he acknowledged
trfat he would say almost anything for
$100, but he averred that in this particular
case the thing he had been paid to say
was really true. He added that the In-r
dians only got $25 a month and board and
that hereafter Buffalo Bill would be com
pelled to pay the Sioux $50 a month.

Nichole, was thpewa from his wagon
Iddings' lumber yard jnet before noon
yesterday and sustained severe injuries
about the head and left shoulder. He
attempted to drive the team up to a
hitching post in front of McDonald's
store when the horses rebelled and
started forward suddenly breaking the
tongue. This frightened the equines all
the more and they put out on a dead run,
the wagon swaying from one fide of the
road to the other. When at the point
above mentioned the wagon turned on
one side and Chris was thrown heavily to
the ground. He was picked up insensi
ble and carried into a house near by and
Dr. Donaldson summond who upon ex-
ami nation found no bones broken. This
is the second time this team has got away
from Chris.
Wanted, a girl to do general house
work In a small family. Inquire of Mrs.
M.T. Allum.
A gentleman desires TnE Tribune
to call the attention of the Board of Edu
cation to the condition of the trees in the
Central school yard. Our informant says
that nine of the finest maple trees on the
ground are dead, a number of the box
elders are dead and many others are dying.
This condition of affairs is due to the lack
of water, and unless the matter is attended
to soon the majority of the trees will be
past reviving.
The rapidity and thoroughness with
which the present Ma3'or and City Council
transact business is worthy of commenda
tion. Of course Klein and Patterson get
at loggerheads occasionally, but they are
soon called to order by His Honor, who
has a very weighty way of squatting on
members using their mouths too freely. -
I would inform S. A. Douglas Post,
G. A. R., that Mr. Heathcote has not en

sisting Mr. Heathcote in his summer
snap. W. Lloyd.
