There is nothing very slow nbout the weather these days.

This cold snap was general in this section of tho coun try. On Sunday last between tho hours of ton and one o'clock a thief forced in tho east side door at McDonald's grocery and breaking open tho cash drawor se cured nbout live dollars in change.

Wal lace Star. On the first of April tho people of Wallace will vote on tho proposition to issue bonds in tho sum of $1500 for the purpose of erecting an addition to their school building. The need of increased shool facilities is a good sign for any town; it hIbo speaks woll for the fecund ity of tho section. Miss Minnio Hino gave a party Monday evening on tho occasion ot her twenty-first birthday, to which a num ber o? the young lady's friends were in vited. Tho occasion proved a delight ful one to the guests and the hostess was remembered with a numbor of sui table presents. Do you know that the Cash Store sells .flour and feed cheaper than you "can find it anywhere else in this county. ": The past winter has been remarkable for absence of high wind and tho lack of tho average monthly movement of wind. Observer Piorcy states that tho lack of high wind is doubtless due to tho uni form low temperature which has pro vailed during the winter. Sudden changes of temperature gonerally pro duce high winds. The government coins money, you can't; tho law prevents. But yon can make money by buying your hardware, tinware, implements, etc of Stricklor. j Others talk of rock bottom prices etc., but wo are tho original leaders in low prices, and are tho only house that soils implements etc at cash prices, for cash. Tbero is displayed in tho window of Keith's store a painting executed by Mrs. H. J. Clark otter she had received Bix lessons from Hal. Akland, tho artist who "is now stopping in the city. Con sidering the instructions Mrs. Clark haul received, the painting is certainly very excellent and speaks volumes for the ability of Mr. Akland as an instructor. Tho supremo court of this stato handed down o decision last week sus taining the legality of ballots marked with lead pencil cast at the last election under the Australian ballot law. Tho syllabus of the opinio touching, this point, written by Judge Post, is as fol lows: "The provision in section 20 of .the act approved March 4, 1891, known as the "Australian Ballot Law" for the marking ot ballots with ink is directory only, nnd ballots, if in other respects regular, will, in tho absence of fraud, be counted, although marked with a pen cil." A special meeting of the city council was held Saturday evening to hear a re port from the committee appointed to investigate the question of getting rid of ''the surplus water. The committee recommended that a ditch be constructed on the west line of section thirty-two running from the railroad to the South Platte river. They thought the right- of-wav could be purchased of W. M. Hinman for nbout one hundred dollars. On motion the mayor, who was absent, fv.nT to have a survey made of the proposed ditch and ascertain the cost of building same. C.L.

Johnson formally assumed the editorship of tho Era last week, and the wish of The Tribune is that tho cares of the position may fall less heavily on him than they do on the average country editor. The Tribune learns that Samuel Adams contemplates moving to Suther land and opening a hardware and furni ture store. If Sam decides to leave North Platte tho city will loso a hrst- 38 citizen, one whom we regret to see go. -Tho ladies of the Presbyterian church will hold their chicken and wafile supper in the Belton building next to the Presbyterian church, Thursday evening, March 17th.

Huntington in this city Sunday last, Judge Ray officiating. The happy couple received a number suitable presents. Mr. and Mrs. Wright will re side on Waldo's farm south of town. Tho interior of the court house is growing brighter ana cicanor eacu any under the application of calcimine and paint brushes in the hands of Wm. Emerson. The walls of the hallways and offices had becomo very much dis figured and tho improvements being made are very noticeable. James Bolton keeps several kinds of sewing machines in stock. -C. F. Scharmann, who has so ably represented tho Third ward during the past year, announces himself a candidate for re-election. Ho is a young man who las taken great interest in the affairs of the city, and from his work in the coun cil wo should judge that ho has well served his constituents. His opponent in the field is L. B. Iscnhart With Wamer,Hinman and Robinson in tho race for mayor, "the- contest as sumes that triangular ehapo which makes it a littlo tight for the two leading candidates. The Tribune is of the opinion, however, that Warner will pass under the wire ahead. His management of the office during a former term was very satisfactory to the people, many of vhom after election regretted that thoy did not cast a vote for him. Ho is also a popular gontloinan, and to know him is to have a friend. Friday afternoon is always looked forward to with much pleasure by the members of tho Longfellow literary society, and last Friday was no excep tion.

The question was: Resolved, "That the Negroes have re ceived worse treatment than the In dians." Affirmative Fred Elliott and John Dick. Negative Frank Edmonds and Boyd Dickinson. Tho judges de cided in favor of the affirmative. But tho best part of the programmo was yet to come. Mr. Sullivan, by a unanimous vote, was requested to recite "Mary's Lamb," and did it in a manner that brought down tho house. All patrons of the school are cordially invited to attend our Friday afternoon exercises. Jock. For Rent. The store second door south ot Odd Fellows hall. Enquire of James Belton. "Kicking Bear" has promised him self a lively time when ho reaches Fort Sheridan, Illinois. Ho has SG00 attached to his belt as tho principal trophy of his recont campaign iu Europe, and ho has informed his friends on this side ot the water that ho intends to Bpend every cent for "fire water" tho moment his engagement as stir conies to an end. "Kicking Bear" is the leading member of the band of fifteen Indian prisoners loaned by the Interior depart ment for exhibition purposes to "Buffalo Bill." They wero taken from Fort Sheridan last year and after a successful tour abroad are now on their way home to be turned over to government control in accordance with tho terms of the contract They were duo in New York yesterday. It was in anticipation of their arrival and of the royal good time they had promised themselves with the money they have earned that a repre sentative of "Buffalo Bill's" troupe called on the War department authorities to ask assistance in keeping these Indians on their good behavior until their arrival at Fort Sheridan. Tho re quest was granted, and an order was sent to army head quarters at Governor's Island directing that a non-commissioned officer and several privates be detailed to meet the Indians upon their arrival and toromain in close watch upon them until their arrival at Fort Sheridan What disnosition will then be made of them will have to ba determined by the Interior department. I he other pris oners that were taken to Fort Sheridan bv'Kickinir Bear" were returned to reservations some time ago. Gatward & Neuman can supply you with the choicest roasts. Give the firm an order. Mr. and Mrs. Zeibert entertained . a number of friends at high-five on Friday evening last. A dance was held at the new store building at Hershey ou Friday evening last at which North Platte was well represented. While out hunting Saturday after noon Col Cody killed two large swans at one shot He will probably have them mounted. The lion was visible Monday and the weather he brought was decidedly win try. The ground was covered with i light skift of snow. Wild geese are being slaughtered by the thousands along the Platte. Two hunters brought in 150 at Ogalnlla one evening last week. James Belton is agent for several fine pianos and organs and keeps them in stock. A. P. Nelson, living north of Gothen burg, acfiidently killed himself on Wed nesday of last week by the careless handling of a shot gun. The people ot Somerset precinct are preparing to boom, that section by a liberal distribution of circulars setting forth the advantages of that section. Gatward & Neuman aro selling from the block the finest corn-fed beef that has been sold in North Platte for a long time. N. A. Davis & Co. report large sales of sulky plows and disc harrows during the past two weeks, the demand for the latter being almost greater than the supply. An eight year old son of C. M. Jay. cox, of Peckhara precinct,had his left leg dislocated a week ago by having it caught in the wheel of a wagon while tho vehicle was in motion. Al. Ackland has been engaged to paint the drop curtain and scenery for Keith's new opera house. Mr. Ackland is a fine scenic painter and wo predict tho work will bo well executed. -Those new organs at James Belton's are in oak cases nnd arc beauties. Tho office of clerk of the district court has boon handsomely repainted and papered. Mr. Elder is now very comfort ably situated, and it is only proper to add that tho latch-striDg hangs on tho outside. Tho Iddiugs party on Thursday evening ot last week was a very success ful one. The persons awarded the prizes for best playing wero Mrs. J. H. Hershey Mrs. O. O. Carnahan, A S. Baldwin and H. S. Boal. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Stimp were the recipients of a surpriso party Friday evening, at which enjoyment reigned supreme for several hours, and the "inner man" did not want for that which pleases and satisfies the appetite. For Rent. The best farm in Lin coln county; only thrco miles from North Platte. Abundance qi natural timber and hay and good water and extra good buildings. T. C. Patterson. F. F. Weston sold his farm in Hin man precinct last week to Wm. Parks and has removed to a farm he owns near Central City. In the removal of Mr Weston the county loses a widerawako farmer and a straightforward gentleman. Tho people are "catching on" to tho reduction of prices at the Cash Storo. o . j. x'lercy who lor several years has displayed great interest in our public schools, has decided to become a candi date for member of tho Board of Educa tion. If elected ho wi'l ueo every endeavor to have the schools improved if such is possible. S. P. Delatour las week received for his Deuel county ranch a fine registered Percheron stallion from the well known Turlington stock farm in Otoo county. The animal is exceptionally well bred and cost a good round sum, but we pre dict Sam will mako money out of the in vestment in tho way of raising salable horaes. Several transfers of real estate re corded within the past week show that farm land is on tho rise. The real estate market has been dead for several years but iudication3 point to considerable activity this year. In tho eastern part of tho state farms aro rapidly advancing in price, aud this section will sooner or later bo affected likewise, L. A. Van Tilborg, of Wallace,was in town Thursday and entered suit for ten thousand dollars damages against J. W. Hullinger for alienation of his (Van Tilborg's) wife's affections. Tho com plainant doesn't seem to bo particularly modest in his demand, but it is generally conceded that he is as likely to obtain that amount as he is ten cents. One of our implement dealers in forms The Tribune that the sales of farm machinery this year up to date is greatly in excess of that of last year. He also states that the farmers make larger cash payments and when required give much better security than n year ago. This is pretty good ovidenco that the farmers are prospering. Tho United States land office in this city was formally reopened for business on Thursday morning last, when A. S. Baldwin took possession 'of the register's ofiico and W. H. C. Woodhurst was duly installed as receiver. The business which had accumulated during tho period in which the office was practical ly closed, will be put through with all possible speed. A gentleman who has traveled con siderably through the county of late tells us that the acreage of wheat this year will bo from fifty to seventy-five per cent greater than last year. Many of the farmers will put all their old ground in small grain and break sod for their corn. There seems to be a growing ten dency among Lincoln county farmers to raise more wheat and less corn than heretofore. Before the city council enters into an agreement with Union Pacific-relative to closing the Willow street crossing and opening ono at Maple street, the wishes of the people directly interested in the matter should bo consulted. The residents of the Third ward have rights which ought to be respected and no move should bo made which would work them an injustice or plaqe them at disadvan tage. Councilmon Johnson and Schar mann should ascertain the sentiment of their constituents, and this they will probably do before action is taken on the matter. PEHS0XAL MEXTIOX. C. F.

The rendition of Uncle Tom's C&bin at Keith's opera house Monday evening was attended by an audience number ing between four and five hundre'd, the' large attendance probably being duo to the fact that it has been several weeks since we have had a theatrical company.

Speaking of Remenyi, the renowned violin virtuoso who will appear in this city on the evening of the 29th inst, the Boston Advortisor says: Remenyi, tho world-famous violinist, was the centre of attraction at the Star Course entertainment at Tremont Temple last evening. He has perfect mastery of tho king of instruments, and seem3 to delight in making it do unheard-of things, and emit sounds that are not only wonderful in their liquid sweetness, but decidedly unique and surprising. Every note of his playing had in it something to claim the attention of the audience and they gavo him applauso without stmt Ho has a quartet of artists with him who woll deserve the companionship of such a lender. Mr. Rico was especial ly well "received by the audience and cheerfully respond d to a recall. Re menvi was heard at his best in tho Hun garian melodies of his own composition, md though it was late in the evoning beforo they were reached tho audience gavo closer attention than to any other number on the programme.
