tbeir report of the condition of crops in
Nebraska, tho Lincoln countyj report
being as follows: Corn, which is tho
principal crop, has an increased acreage
of 25 per cent over last year. Consider
able wheat is raised, acreage about tho
samo. Prospects good for ono-fourth to
one-half crop of wheat. Corn is a good
stand and prospects never better. Small
grain that was not plowed up has im
proved wonderfully. There will be very
littlo oats. Cattle and hogs are doing
well. Collections fairly good and trade
improved over a year ago. Demand for
money normal and supply ample. Farm
ers are getting well stocked up with
hogs and cattle and with corn t o feed
them money will bo plenty.
Lawn mowers and rakes at James
Belton's. Prices are low.
Tho remains of Frank Wilson, who
died in Denver on Wednesday of last
week, were brought to this city for inter
ment Friday morning, funeral services
being held at tho Church of Our Saviour
at 8:30. Tho deceased lived in North
Platte for a number of years prior to
1886, but having coutractod consumption
left for the south for tho benofit of his
health. This change proved beneficial,
but upon going to Texas some months
ago he got the la grippe which caused a
greater affection of tho lungs. His con
dition becoming critical, his 6ister, Mrs.
Griflin, went to Texas several weeks ago
and had him removed to her home at
Denver, where he died. Frank Wilson
was a deservedly popular young man
while a resident of North Platte; bright
and jovial, and his death causes much
regret among all old acquaintances.
Among tho relatives attending- tho
funeral were the parents of tho deceased
Mr. and Mrs. Griffin, and Mr. and Mrs.
Hull of Denvor, Mr. and Mrs. Greer,
Mrs. Roe and Mrs. Wiley, of Kearney,
and Mrs. Kmsella, of Iowa, and Joseph
Wilson of Chicago.
The Fourth of July celebration at
North Platte under tho auspices of the

extended scale than at first anticipated.
Invitations have been issued to lodges
in adjoining towns, and delegations aro
expected from Gothenburg, Wellfleet
and Wallace. The civic societies of the
city and the lire department have been
invited to participate in the parade and
celebration, 'but yesterday it was not
known just how many of the societies
would accept. The parade will start at
ten o'clock from Fifth and Spruce over
the following lino of march: South to
Third, west to Vine, north to Front, east,
to Chestnut, south to Third, west to
Spruce, north to U. P. hotel, then
countermarch south and west to Rnyjs
grove, where the" Declaration of Inde
pendence will be read by Judge Ray,
followed with an oration by H. M.
Grimes. After this a recess for dinner
will bo taken, nnd at about one o'clock
the programme of sport, which was
published in these columns last week,
will be given. These sports are varied
in nature and the contestants will un
doubtedly enter into them with much
zeal, thus affording considerable excite
ment for the audience. In the evening
a liberal display of fireworks will take
place. Altogether the day promises to
be full of pleasure and amusement.

A heavy rain is reported to have
fallen in the Sutherland section last
evening, much to the delight of everyone,
as tho crops were needing it. A severe
hailstorm passed over tho country east
of Lexington about eight o'clock last
evening, doing some damage to growing
crops.
The crop bulletin of the Nebraska
weather bureau service for the week
ending yesterday, is as follows: The
warm dry weather of the past week has
been good for corn, but very unfavorable
for small grain and grass. The temper
ature hns averaged about three degrees
above the normal in all portions of the
state. Until Monday night when a light
rain was reported at North Platte, the
showers were confined to tho south
eastern and extreme northeastern por
tions of the state. Tho week has been
especially unfavorable for small grain
in tho western part of the state, whore
in many localities tho crop is reported
as nearly a failure, being already injured
beyond recovery from tho drouth. Corn
has continued to grow finely and is in
excelient condition, though in the west
ern counties it is needing rain.
Western people ecoiii to havo .-a
mania for emyloying unusual methods
for rcachinc the world's f.sir. Every
week or so bicyclists enroute to tho
"white city" pass through town, but this
mode of traveling was outdone by two
Swedes who left Dem-er a couple of
weeks ago on a Hatbont with tho expec
tation of reaching Chicago by a water
route. They launched their craft on
tho South Platte river, but when thev
got as Sedgwick they were forced to
ship by rail to this place, the irrigation
ditches below that point absorbing all
tho water in tho river. These naviga
tors reached town yestorday aud
launched their boat in tho North Platte
river and to-day will renew their journey.
They follow tho Platto river to its junc
tion with tho Missouri at Plattmoutb,
theuco down the Missouri to its junction
with tho Mississippi near St. Charles,
Mo., thence up tho latter to the mouth
of tho Illinois river and up that stream
and tho Hennepin canal to Chicago.
Via this routo tho distance from North
Platte to Chicago is in tho neighborhood
of 1500 miles, nearly twice tho distance
by rail. There is neither pleasure or
profit in such a journoy, and we are in
clined to think these travelers will grow
weary and givo up the task long ere they
reach their destination.
Probably McGee and Hinman.
Tun TnniUNK is reliably informed that
tho democratic stato committee," with
Euclid Martin at tho head, has endorsed
W. L. McGea for register and John F.
Hinman for receiver of the U. S. land
office, in this cityvand that this endorse
ment means the appoiatment of -theqe
two genttemcn. This information comes
from'a rocal detnocraf whlTrecently had
a conversation with Mr. Martin. It was
impossible, Mr. Martin said, to take
both officenr from North Platto, and
Mr. McGee being a resident of Omaha
and having many letters of recomeuda
tion, was selected. It is understood
that Mr. Hinman was endorsed as a
personal favor to Judge Hinman. Tho
samo committee has endorsed J. C.
Fedcrhoof for the North Platto postmns
tership. and his appointment is
equally certain. As tho Martin faction
of the Nebraska democracy is in tho as
cendancy and has successfully dictated
nearly all tho appointments so far, it is
not likely any combination formed
against tho appointment of Messrs.
McGee, Hiuman and Federhoof will be
able to tie them up.

Mrs. T. J. Foley and two children left
Saturday morning for their future home
Sioux Falls, S. D. In this removal
North Platto loses one of its. most pop
ular, generous and christian women, and
her loss will be keenly felt. Especially
is this true in the case of the Church of
Our Saviour, for she has long been
recognized as the leading lady worker
of that society. On Friday afternoon
tho ladies' guild of that church gave
Mrs. Foley a farewell 'reception at the
guild house, about twenty of the mem
bers being present, each of whom ex
pressed deep regret that the conditions
were such as to call from their midst
one who had been of such great service
to the church, and by her many acts oFj
kindness had endeared herself to all
acquaintances. The Tribune more than
regrets the departure of this estimable
lady after a residence of twenty years in
the city, but feels assured that Sioux
Falls will be benefitted by the addition
of such an earnest christian worker
and ever kind and pleasant lady.
While wishing Mr. and Mrs. Foley erery
success in their new home, we truBt
that some time in the future they may
decide to again make North Platte their.
home.

The Class of '03.
, The annual commencement exercises
of the North Platte high school were
held in Keith's opera house last Thurs
day evening. Long before the appointed
hour the seats were all taken, the aisles
were filled and the hallway and stairs
crowded. Auditors perched themselves in
the windows, and somo fifty or more
were behind tho scenes and fully a hun
dred people were unable to gain admis
sion. This must be a sufficient demon
stration to those in charge that tho
people of North Platte are interested
and only the most commodious hall in
the city should bo thought of as a placo
for holding such exercises. The stage
had been prettily decorated by the class
of 94 with flags and bunting, and tho
banner bearing tho class motto, "Non in
summo, sed in via," showed prominently
in the background, while tho front of
the stage bore immense rosettes in. the
(class colors, lavender and white,
Promptly at 8:30 tho class of "93 mado its
appoaranco ou tho stage. It consisted
-. , -i . .
oi nine young jauies and three young
gentlemen by far the largest class in
the history of the high school, and, by
the way, one of the largest classes of the
year in tho state. After an invocation
by Rev. Mr. Loedom tho class sang a
song of welcome.
Tho first speakor was Miss Fannie
Von Goetz, who had chosen for her sub
ject "Tho world owes mo a living."
There seem to bo two classes of peoplo;
those who think thoy came into tho
world through no responsibility of their
own; henco tho world is their debtor,
and those who believo that they wore
put hero for a purposo and who use their
best efforts to find out what they are
hero for. To earn one's bread by the
sweat of tho brow is tho only legal
method since the fall of man.
William Ormsby followed with an
oration on Alexander Hamilton. Ho
was second only to Washington, the
latter freed us from the tyranny of king?.
Hamilton freed us from anarchy and tho
tyranny of mobs, for wo owo to him our
present constitution; as our first secre
tary of tho treasury he organized our
tariff system, and our national bank.
He funded our public debt and provided
a system of rovenuo until we are to-day
tho only nation troubled with a surplus
in tho treasury. He had all the qualities
of a true patriot and statesman. Ho
will ever be hold in highost honor by
Americans and his classifying, logical
intellect will ever command the homage
of man.
Miss Ruth Patterson spoko on "Girl of
tho Period." Tho girl of to-day is taller,
broader and hoalthior than her mother;
Bhe is not ashamed of her appetito or
afraid of being called a torn boy because
she chooses to take plenty of physical
exorcise; she is as anxious to improve
intellectually, as in other wnvs, and,
pursues tho same studies that her brother
does. The girl of. to-day shows such a
marked improvement over the girls of
other days in so many ways that it might
be oxpected that sho would lose some of
her womanly qualitios, but it has yet to
be shown that this is so.
Miss Grace Duncan's theme was "Tho
power of Imagination." This is the
motive power which rules the world. It
is tho chief support of ambition and
aspiration. Without it we could havo
no orators or poets. Inventions and dis
coveries would bo only accidental.
Literature would be to us as a closed
book. Imagination has soothed many
pangs of the heart by causing us to think
of tho greater woes of others. It has
cherished many a good resolution. It
gives us a new and wider horizon around
our intellectual being, and fills tho soul
with noblo hopes.
The subject of "Monopolies" was then
presented by George 31cMichael. Adam
and Evo had a monopoly on all the good
things of life. Monopolies may at first
be benefits to tho peoplo by enabling an
increased production without a propor
tionate increase in cost and thus bo holp
ful in lowering prices. However, they
invariably result in raising prices and
are a detriment to our best interests.
Coal, food and railroad monopolies are
dangers to the republic and somo means
of prevention and control must be found.
The tendency of tho times is toward this
control of interests that seem to bo
against the public weal, and tho time is
not far distant when wo shall bo freed
from all dangers of this kind.
Miss Evalyn Grady theu spoke on
"True Success." The popular idea of
success is in direct opposition to true
success. A man who has gained only
wealth by fair or false means may not
be a successful man. Somo try to be
successful by bribing juries, packing'
caucuses or by getting wealth through
fraud, but this is not success; it is a
crime and it renders other crimes neces
sary. Is wealth the only measure of
success? Is there no loving of art and
of nature and of our design for itself?
Successful men have not necessarily had
more mental power than others, but they
early discovered what they were here
for, found and at once dropped into their
proper place and having found their
vocation they did not abandon it because
of difficulties they had not forseon.
Miss Sarah Ferguson had selected
"Ambition" as her theme. It is right
that we should all be ambitious. Ambi
tion may result in great good to all con
cerned, but unless carefully guarded and
directed will result in a saenfico of
everything to immediate personal gain.
Had Napoleon had the same kind of
ambition that Washington possessed,
France would havo taken her place as
the arbiter of Europe and Napoleon
would havo been the greatest man in all
history.

The future of tho republican party
was predicted by Alfred Gilman. The
defeat cf 92 is explained by the defec
tion of those seeking relief from hard
times, but the defeat was a Bunker Hill
and not a Waterloo. The party retired
in good order and shows no signs of
demoralization, has rather been inspired
with Mre. Brown last week.
Pat I to renewed efforts. The lesson of defeat
must not be forgotton; a united front
must be presented, men of tried integrity
must bo chosen as leaders. Tho great
questions of the day will be taken up by
tho party and true republicanism will
complete its work of making this nation
the foremost in the world.
Miss Lizzio Bratt spoko cn tho "Past,
Present and Future of Woman." In al
ages there have been women, who have
taken high rank in all walks of life,
History furnishes many examples o
those who wore skilled in military scionce
diplomacy and state craft. In the
present ago woman is slowly but surely
taking her placo as tho equal of man
As yet she is somewhat dependent on
him in most respects. Tho future wil
probably show that thero is to bo a truo
equality and an interdependence of the
sexes.
Miss Berenico Searlo had chosen "The
Electric Ago" as her subject. Some
characteristic has marked all ages from
timo immemorial. Wo pass through the
stono ago, iron age, otc, until wo come
to the age immediately preceding the
present; when tho chief characteristic
was steam. Tho present timo is most
appropriately called tho electric age.
Euison nnd Morse have so trained this
subtle forco that Ariel and Mercury
would be too slow for the commercial
world of to-day. We are only on the
threshold of the electric age, as all im
portant applications of electricity have
been made within tho memory of the
youngest voter of to-day. What has the
futuro in store for us? As oceans and
mountains, as barriers to communication
i" -
lave disappeared, so planetary space
may bo annihilated. No. imagination is
powerful enough to predict tho whole
future of electricity.
irr t i n
miss -Liuuo spring in her oration on
Fighting Windmills" drew from Don
Quixote's attack on tho windmills of old
Spam, the lesson of futilo attempts of
brave men to stay tho hand of progress.
The great inventions met with checks
but the wheels of advancement will
merely crush opposition and then swing
i round as freely as before. Many a
bravo knight who has mado an attack
upon our schools and colleges or upon
municipal improvement has been dashed
to the ground by tho mill wheel of public
opinion.
Miss Mabel Goozeo closed with "Tho
all of Rome." In the midst of apparent
prosperity iho Romans wero gradually
osing their old timo bravery and honor.
he fall of Rome was intornal rather
than external. Tho old city Government
was oppressive to tho provinces, eo that
they wero ready to welcome the barbar
ians. What would havo been the result
if Rome had been able to hold out
against tho barbarians? Tho Saxons
had been carrying on a deqipcratic gov
ernment and'possessed the lost virtues
of the Romans. The world lost much
by tho capture of Rome, yet it gained
more. New literaturo and works of art
can bo created, but tho Romans could
not havo givon us tho courage, sense of
honor, respect for woman and love of
homo which marks tho present day.
Tho speaker then as a valedictory
spoke in behalf of the class a few words
of gratitude and farewell, and tho work
of the class was complete. '
Geo. E. French then in behalf of tho
peoplo of North Platte and tho board of
education presented the well earned
diplomas. In a few well chosen words ho
told the class of their new responsibili
ties, and that although their work in the
high school was completed they must
not consider their study ended. Higher
education must call eomo and othors
must completo their education in the
great school i t life.
Taken as n whole tho exercises were
highly successful, no accident or delay
of any kind occurred. Tho class seemed
thoroughly prepared in every way, and
as a general thing tho delivery was free
and natural. The Tribune represent
ative wishes to commend the action of a
largo majority of tho class in freeing
themselves from manuscripts and in tell
ing what thoy know rather than read
ing it.
Tho work ot Thursday shows that we
havo schools in our midst of which we
may bo justly proud. v
B. L. Lambert has been ailing all
spring and has not been able to work
every day. He went to Denver
last week to recuperate but
did not go to the U. P. hospital probably
because he was not sick enough to bo
admitted. We hope ho will return a
well man.
M. B. Cryderman has purchased
two lots in tho west part of town and
will soon erect a large stable thereon.
Next spring he will probably erect a
residence, Ho will shortly movo to one
of the Dick houses on west Sixth street.
The prize for the bicycle race on tho
Fourth will be a handsome medal instead
of a purse, as the rules of the American
League of Wheelmen do not permit
amateurs to race for money prizes.
