Postmaster General Bissoll gives out
the information that all republican post
masters whose democratic predecessors
had been allowed four years by Mr
Harrison, will be allowed their four years

removed until June. 1894. If this so
happens, several vials of democratic pro
fanity will be uncorked.
L'Absintheur," to be given on the
18th at the North Platte opera house, is
a strong modern play in five acts from
the ien of the talonted artist and
authoress. Marie Prescott This play
was -written by Miss Prescott and de
veloped to display the special abilities of
of herself and Mr. McLean. "L'Absin
theur," translated into English means
"The Absinthe Drinker," and on this the
story of the play is founded. It is a
story cf modern times and the scenes are
laid in Paris. It presents a vivid picture
of the evil of absinthe drinking, a habit
that is most common in Paris, and which
has a strong hold on all classes. Miss
Prescott, of course, will interpret the
part of the heroine, and Mr. MacLean
essays the part of the "absinthe drinker."

of her groat genius and artistic tastenot'

as well. The play was adapted by Miss

MacLean's peculiar abilities. It telfsa
story of the horrible ravages made. in
foreign soeiety, and especially that of
Paris, by the demoniacal habit of absin
the drinking. It is full of thrilling scenes
and exciting climaxes, and deals in a
story of love, hate and revenge Which
presents a fine moral and leaves a deep
and lasting impression. It tells a tale
different from any other of its kind ever
given to the public and presents a multi
tude ot opportunities for very strong and
powerful acting, not only for the prla.

seven ociock last evening announcing
the death of Jerry Brittmgham at his
home in Fox Creek precinct yesterday
morning. Mr. Brittmgham had been in
town for a week or so attending court,
leaving for home on Wednesday. Just
before starting ho remarked to one of
his friends here that unless his health
grew better than it had been for some
time, be could not live long. His death
was., presumably, duo to tho paralytic
stroke with which he was afflicted last
summer from tho effects of which he
had suffered very much.
Xhe deceased came to Lincoln county
about eight years ago and located in the
precinct in which he died. Being a man
of a genial nature, he made many ac
quaintances, and was perhaps as well
known as any man in the county. He t
was a soldier in the late war, and as such i
had an honorable record. Many are the
friends in North Platte who will deeply
regre i the death of Jerry Brittingham.
He was about forty-nine years of age
.and leaves a wife and three young cbild-
jren to mourn his taking away. The
funeral took place at Curtis this after
noon. Small, in size, great in results: De

A Needed Beformatloa.
At a meeting Monday night of the
local branch of the Nebraska Business
Men's Association it was determined to
take steps looking toward the establish
ment of new hours for business in this
city by adopting mountain time as the
standard, instead of central as a present
used. - This is a move in the right direc
tion as it will more nearly conform with
the true sun time, ot this locality. The
latter should bo the standard in all cities
for all kinds of business other than the
movement of railway trains, for which
for obvious reasons a general standard
is necessary. As at present conducted
the business men of North Platte are
endeavoring to get ahead of the sun
about forty-two minutes every day in
the year, and yet he will continue to
arise and do busidess- at the old stand
long after they have been consigned to
their graves.
This will be a move that will be of
advantage to the country trade, as it will
give this class of people a better opportu
nity to reach this city and transact their
business ere the closing hour. That it
will bo appreciated by them goes with
out saying. In times past farmers have
been compelled to push their teams long
distances without rest or food in order
to reach the banks here in order to trans
act business before they closed.
There can bo no good reason urged
against tho adoption of this change, not
even from the employees, as they will
get the additional hour in the morning
and will not bo compelled to so previous
ly spring from off their downy couches
as formerly.
It was decided to soon adopt this plan
in the city with the exception that the
railway shops here would follow up the
same idea, and all classes of business
move harmoniously together. If the
latter does not conclude to do so it is
better for the interests of North Platte
ttjat her business men should make the
change, as by so doing her country trade
will be materially increased. With
trusty young business rivals growing up
in all parts of the county and reaching
out and soliciting trade it is not good
business sagacity for North Platte mer
chants to allow any impediments to exist
in the way of their -acquiring .all trade
bo mo time paet-the early closing hours
in vogue in this city has militated against
her business prosperity, and this has
been taken advantage of by rival villages
endeavoring to restrict her trade. This
is a barrier that should be removed, and
and each and every business man allowed

District Cocrt l'roceedingi.
The jury for the February term, 18S3,
of tho uistrict court was excused last
Saturday, by Judge Neville, from furthor
duty until July 6th, when they will again
assemble for the trial of cases not reached
during the session of tho past fortnight.
Tomorrow morning Judge Neville will
begin work upon the equity docket, and
will finish as much of it as he has time
to before he is required to go to another
point in the district to hold court Below
will be found the principal business
transacted since our last issue:
In the case of John McCulIough vs.
Frederick George tho jury found a
verdict for tho former and fixed the
measure of his eamage3 atSlOO, the rental
of the land since 1889, and the costs of
prosecution.
In the case of J. N. Dalton vs. Scott
Vaughn the jury found a verdict for the
plaintiff and fixed his damages at .0i
(one cent.) This was a replevin case,
and may bo carried to the supreme court.
In the case of B. M. Sigler vs. Sarah
J. McConnell, of Somerset, the jury
returned a verdict for the defendant
This was a suit for the recovery of dam
ages received by a horse being driven
into a barbed wire fence where an old
travelled, but not regularly established,
road was crossed by the enclosure. The
theory of the prosecution was that the
fence had not been properly guarded,
but the jury evidently concluded the
plaintiff was equally guilty of contrib
utor' negligence.
In the case of the state against J.
M. Marcott and James Cushmg, charged
with robbing Mulholland, of Brady, the
jury acquitted Cushing and failed to
agree as to Marcott. The latter was
placed under a 8300 bond to appear at
the July term.
The caso of Lewis W. Daugherty,
charged with horsestealing, was brought
up for hearing Thursday, but tho de
fendant opjected to having Judge Neville
hear the caso on account of his affinity
to M. C. Keith, of whom the animal
was stolen. In default of 51500 bond,
Daugherty was remanded to jail and tho
case will come up at the July term be
fore another judge.
The case instituted against T. C.
Patterson last fall for electioneering
within a distance of the polls prohibited
by law, was dismissed in the district
court last week at the defendant's costs.
In the case ot Robt. Hare vs. E. W.
Murphy, an action over the assumpsit
clause in a deed, tried last Saturday, the
judge instructed the jury to bring in a
verdict for the defendant. This will

on the sick list, is again at his desk in
the office.
Supt. W. L. Park has been at the
scene.of the Columbus bridge diaster for
several days.
The carpenters here have been b jsy
for the last few days filling an order for
six U. P. houses.
R.A. Miller, foreman of the Sidney
round house, circulated among the boys
here on Saturday.
Wm. Stack is now running the 602 on
the west end and Pat Norns has been
given the 625 on the Second district.
It is said that E. B. Gibbs has made a
requisition for the 602, and that she will
go to Portland as soon as she is overhauled.
George Hockeaberger and the French
man, George LaPache, with the old 718,
came down off the branch the first of
the week.
James Roddy is now enjoying a pas
senger run on the Julesburg branch with
George VanCamp, while McCarty is vis
iting his best girl.
Engine 745 on her way to Cheyenne
broke a piston rod and blew out a cylin
der head, and as a consequence had to
be brought back for repairs.
The washouts in the first distriot have
held many of the Second district en
ginemen in Grand Island for an unusual
length of time the past week.
No very new talk is being indulged in
as to a new time card, although it is

Guy Wood, who was a locomotive .fire
man for a while last summer, but who
was taken off on account of being a
minor, is now working in the shop as a
machinist helper.
A recent statement by "Get There" in
a city contemporary regarding the turn
ing out of the first jour tinner from the
shops here was not exactly correct. Dave
Struthers was the first duly entered ap
prentice in that department some twenty
years ago.
Lewis Hart, who succeeds John Mc
Cabe as foreman of the tinshop, was
given quite an extensive farewell banquet
prior to leaving Cheyenne. Mr. Hart
proves a popular man wherever he goes,
and wo are glad to have him back in
North Platte.
John Sherman returned from Poca
tello tho first of the week where he had
been to take the 805 to that part of the
Union" Pacific system. Pat Norris took
the 800 out to Salt Lake about the same

or so with 745.
There being no east district passenger
crew here on Monday, R. R. Hine was
compelled to go through with his train
to Overton beforo he met a crew to re
lieve him. Jr G. Anderson was more
fortunate on Sunday as he had only to
go aa far east as Maxwell before being
relieved.
President Clark of the Union Pacific
speaking of the rumors connecting the
Vanderbilts with his road, states that
the present arrangement between the
North-Western and the Union Pacific is
very satisfactory, in fact more satisfac
tory than if they owned the road, there
fore the Vanderbilts will not figure in
the annual Union Pacific election.
The sudden breaking up of thick ice
on the Platte and Loup rivers has made
much trouble for the railroads. The U.
P. bridge at Columbus was pounded
down by the floating ice, and the one at
North Bend is in an unsafe condition.
U. P. trains from the east have come in
by a rather roundabout route, going
from Omaha to Lincoln, thence over the
B. & M. to Kearney.
Owing to the washouts on the First
district the passenger enginemen on the
Third district have not had it quite so

ginemen have a picnic while it lasts, as
they double out of Sterling and lay" over
here.
Now that S. H. H. Clark has given
notice of his intention to return to the
Mo. Pacific there is considerable talk in
Omaha that J. H. Millard may become
his successor as president of the Union
Pacific railway. Mr. Millard probably
understands the possibilities and re
quirements of the Union Pacific system
as any man in the country, and could
probably handle it as advantageously as
any one lor the interests of the stock
holders.

A dispatch from Washington dated
March 13th, says: Mr. Cleveland's rule
not to reappoint former office-holders
strikes home to the postmaster of a small
town in Nebraska. In this particular
town, as in many instances of the same
kind, the postmaster is part of a general.,
store, and is more to the store than "the
salary attach"? to the office- Ttvrsehekl
m4er the satire OevataaC
tioa by a dawo'crat, whd was alee th&
part proprietor of the general store.
When Harrison was elected the desao
cratic postmaster stepped out and his
partner, who was a republican, stepped
in. The office would have been again
turned over to the democrat, and so
things might have gone on for years and
generations, but that Mr. Cleveland's
order put a sudden quietus on that kind
of conveyaacing. The post office will
now be transferred to the rear end of
another store.
