NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA,
Is centrally situated in the triangular figure
bounded by lines drawn from Omaha to Cheyenne,
thence to Denver, from thence to starting point
It is 291 miles fiom the first named city, 225 miles
from the second, and -280 miles from the third
Havluj; a popnlation of 4,000 people it is the head'
quarters of both freight and passenger dlrtaions of
the U. P. R'y Co., and is the home of about 500
railway employes whoae monthly pay roll amounts
to some $35,000.00. Almost 200 miles of irrigation
cauals are rapidly neuring completion, which will
bring into the highest state of cultlration 150,000
acres of the nioit prodactlr land upon which the
sun1 rays rhine. The citizenship of North Platte
is that of the best afforded by the oldor states, and
her people are actire, progressive and prosperous.
To the industrious, energetic home-seeker from
the crowded east North Platte and Lincoln county
presents unusual advantages. Thousands of acres
of vacant govornment land, in close proximity to
those already being brought under irrigation, may
be obtained by consulting the United States land
office in North Platte. A letter of inquiry to "U,
S. Register, North Platte, Neb.," relative to the
abovo will be courteously aaswered. Irrigated
farming is no longer an experiment, but has
reached the point where it is acknowledged as
pre-eminently the safest in all seasons method
of conducting agricultural and horticultural oper
ations. The salubrious and life-giving climate of
Lincoln county, where malaria is unknown and
where pulmonary troubles are unthought of, is
another Incentive to the location therein of those
who are anxious to eujoy the good things of this
life as long as possible. North Platte churches
and schools are above those of eastern communi
ties, the lattor being one of the few in Nebraska
permitting the graduate thereof to enter the State
University without an Intermediate preparatory
training. The people of tho community gladly
welcome the honest, industrious eastern citizen
who is eager to better his condition and assisting in
the upbuilding and development of a comparatively
new country.

One of the commendable bills
which the legislature should adopt
without debate is what is known
as the "Watson bill, providing for
the election of county commission
ers by the ballots of the people of
the whole county. It is well enough
te nominate these officers from pre
scribed districts in the county, but
let the people of the entire county
vote upon them, as the' expend the
money of the entire county. Are
you there, Messrs. Akers and Harris?
Our diminutive little friend of
the Era wishes us to lay a state
ment before the public of just what
it has cost the taxpayers of Lin
coln count' to keep his little
org-anette afloat during the drouthy
years past and these daj's of demo
cratic simplicity and economy. His
small and constantly diminishing'
circulation precludes the possibility
of his rivinjr the matter the pub-
icity which the subject deserves,
lence his request for The Tribune
o give it the benefit of the largest
circulation in western Nebraska.
His little sheet became the official
organ (?) by the prejudiced parti
san vote of a couple of populist
county commissioners, one of whom
leld stock in the concern, in 1892.
Since that time his claims against
the count', as shown by the official
register of claims, have been just
84,370.07. Here you have it for
a period of three .years. "What do
you think of that Messrs. Beatty,
Sricsson et al who were compelled
to shoulder the burden when B. I.
Hinman wanted his S400, and were
then bluffed out of your equity in
he concern?
One little item which the chief
ugieman for Butler Buchanan
the Era does not mention. That is
the fact that the large collection of
taxes for the past year is not due
to the activity of the treasurer,
but to the fact that the board of
count' commissioners, after allowing-
warrants, went outside the law
and began withholding' them from
the people to whom they were due
until such time as the latter had
paid their personal taxes. It was
a bulldozing' scheme all the way
through, as many a poor drouth
stricken farmer who badly needed
his money last summer found out
to his sorrow. The law specifically
says that where taxes are due the
county, their amount may be de
ducted from the claims, and a war
rant drawn for any remaining bal
ance. By their stepping1 outside
the pale of the law and first drawing-
the warrants the board per
mitted the christian Shylocks to
get in their work upon the greater
part of issue, hence Mr. Buchanan's
magnificent tax collections. This
for the benefit of the uninstructed
who do not know how they were
obtained.
yet to be heard from. A. E. Hill
with his trifle over one year of ser
vices proves to be a "lulu," and
breaks the record with an expense
of $606.60. Thus you see that year
by j ear these populistic patriots for
revenue only are gradually 'farm
ing'" their positions more and more
each succeeding year, evidencing
their paternalism in that govern
ment was formed for the susten
ance of individuals. Three active
men of good judgment should be
easily able to annually perform the
duties of countv commissioner
within fifty or sixty days, at a yearly
expense of from $150 to $180, and
mileage. This big four of political
patriots have already cost the peo
ple of Lincoln county $3,731.30, and
Butler Buchanan will still have to
continue to pinch and save to try
ana make the balance sheet come
out right in accordance with popu
listic ideas of economy and re
form(?)
Ix the three years which E. D.
Murphy ostensibly served as county
commissioner he extracted from the
treasury $1034.55. W. S. Hill re
ceived $1,119.85. Sam Diehl for the
two years and one month has cost
S870.30, with his third year when
he is acting as chairman of the
board and gets in his greatest work
It is a matter of supreme indif
ference to The Tribune whether
it is in line with petty personages
perniciously pursuing partisan
politics for personal preferment. It
is a newspaper in the broadest and
most comprehensive sense of the
term, and that is why the public
generally, irrespective of politics,
admire it, and express their ap
proval by their patronage. Its in
dependence is annually worth hun
dreds of dollars, and it will never
deteriorate into a mere party
organettc by condoning the wrong
doing of a member of its own politi
cal family. In proof of this it was
one of the first papers in the state
to editorially express an opinion
upon the Hilton shortage, since
which time a large majorityif not all
of the republican papers have lined
up on the subject. The Tribune
is a good enough' American patriot
to know that a political party in a
republic should be but the means
for acquiring good government. It
never confounds and confuses party
with government. The one is but
an inferior to accomplish the ob
jects of a superior; hence its right
to express a candid opinion, and
condemn a yvrong wherever found.
Will would-be critics be as honest
and consciencious? Neither collar
nor muzzle is or will be worn by
The Tribune, and believing that
the republican party is the best
medium for acquiring good govern
ment and upbuilding society, there
in it may be found until such time,
at least, as the methods ot the or
ganization are radically revolutionized.

It is evident that5 there will be
very few seed bonds voted in Ne
braska under the Lamborn act.
Sentiment generally has been
against submission of propositions,
and in Phelps county where a vote
las just been taken a proposition
to issue bonds under the provisions
of the act has been defeated by a
vote of four to one. A proposition
las been submitted in Kearney
county but indications are that it
will not carry. The prevailing
tsentiment is that it is not a good

The Sioux City Journal makes
the following covert thrust at the
reformers who have ready made,
radical and complete new systems
of government they want to fit to
the people between breakfast and
dinner: "Civilization is not a
scheme at all. A good many peo
ple fancy that it is, but it isn't.
Nobody ever thought it out in ad
vance. It cannot be designed or
diagrammed. On the contrary, like
Topsy, it 'just growed up.' Some
people talk about 'institutions' as
they could be arbitrarily and
suddenly imposed upon a great
mass of people. And this is dead
wrong, too."
City politics are so hot in Blair
that the volunteer fire department
las divided off into squads and is on
duty all the time to turn on the
water when the friction between
candidates develops into a blaze.

Atlantic. Ia., Feb. 25. The First
National bank of Griswold, Cass county,
was entered last night by burglars, who
blew open the vault doors and then
drilled the doors of the locked safe, put
in a charge of the explosive, lit the fuse
and closed tho vault doors. The ex
plosion totally wrecked the vault, doing
over $3,500 damage to safe, vault and
building. The noisa was so great that
the burglars made a hasty departure,
Over $400 worth of stamps belonging to
the postmaster, and $120 in nickels in
side the vault are known to have been
taken and probably other valuables, but
the wreck is so great that it is au lm
Dossibilitv to tell what was stolen. The
iurelar proof safe inside the vault con
tained 120.000 in cash, and it is not im
probable that this safe was entered and
the 120,000 stolen. Men are scouring
the oountrv for traces of the thieves,
who are ovideutly professionals.
When the wreckage was cleared up
it was found the contents of the time
lock safe and burglar proof safe were
untouched.
Lawlessness In Cleveland.
Clkvkland. Feb. 25. One of the
boldest acts of lawlessness which has oc
curred in this city for a long time took
place in the western suburbs last night.
While a Nickel Plate freight train was
standing near the Detroit street cross
ing a gang of tramps appeared and
with drawn revolvers drove off the crew
of the train. Tho gang then began
breaking open freight cars and helping
themselves to tho contents. Meanwhile
the police had been notified and a pa
trol wagon loaded with officers soon came
upon the scene. The tramps escaped in
the darkness.
Chicago Murder Mystery.
Chicago, Feb. 25. Evidences of what
the poliee think is a frightful murder
mysterv were found today when two
children discovered tho mutilated body
of a man in a lonely locality at Ninety
fifth street and Western avenue. The
body, which that of a man about 25
years old, was found in a sitting posture,
leaning against a tree. The hands, legs
and lower part of the body were badly
burned, deep gashes were found in the
head and about tho waist were the rem
nants of a charred and singed rope.
Indian Attorney Convicted.
FoitT Smith, Ark., Feb. 25. John
Breck, an Iudiau attorney of Lenepah,
I. T., has been convicted of the fraud
ulent use of the mails. The scheme
worked by him and numerous other at
torneys was the issuing of fraudulent
claims of Cherokee citizenship, by
which means they collected thousands
of dollars. Breck visited Kentucky and
then tho eastern states, collecting thou-1
nands of dollars from numerous persont !
for whom he never filed any claims be
fore the council.
HARRY HAYWARD'S STORY.
Defendant In th Gins Murder Trial Con
tinues Mis Testimony.
Minneapolis, Feb. 25. Harry Hay
ward, the defendant in tho Ging mur
der trial, continued his testimony today
in his own behalf. His narrative wa
resumed at the point where he returned
to the Ozark after the theater and heard
the news of Miss Giug's death.
"I thought of all our relations," he
said, "and how I had lent her money.
I remember that she had often asked
me to lend her my revolver, and as I
thought the matter over I became con
vinced that she had been murdered. I
don't know what I said to tho people
there or at the police station. But I was
very much excited."
Witness described his experience in
tho "sweat box" and told how he was
taken to the morgue and shown the
dead body, with everybody watching
him. He did not know what he did,
but said he felt very bad and knew
everyone there thought him guilty. He
ordered some roses from a florist and at
tended the funeral. On Thursday he
aud Adry were arrested and put in a
cell together. Adry seemed very down
in the mouth, and Harry had said to
him: "We are not guilty. What's tho
use of feeling this way?" But Adry
was dispirited and finally Harry had
Mid: "Adry; what is this? Yon held
her up ouce. Did yon have anything to
Ao with this?" Adry was silent and re
fused to talk any more. After that
there was no further conversation be
tween them.
This evidence caused a flutter of ex
citement. It brought in the story which.
on Thursday, had been ruled out by the
court, to the effect that Adrv was tho
masked highwayman who last April
had held up and robbed Harry, Miss
Ging and Miss Vedder while they were
out driving. Adry, it is understood.

with an alibi.

Effort to Have His Teaching Eliminated at
the University of California.
BEIJKELKY, Cal.. J' eh. 2. 'Iho ex
pulsion of Professor Charles Woodworth
and Student Maxwell from the First
Baptist church for heresy is creating
much contention in this university
town. The charge-? against Woodworth
were that he had stated in writing that
the Biblo contained many errors of his
tory and geology, and that "the trinity
is only three nf the many manifestations
of God." Woodworth maintains that
Christ was born of two hnmau parents.
The professor had also said that "the
death of Jesus, like the Jewish saorifi
ces, only saves symbolical!," and that
the fall of man was not from true holi
ness but from childish innocence. Tho
latter statement involved the ques
tion of evolution, to which Wood-
worth firmly adheres as a
good method of reasoning both for
science and for Christianity. Some of
the members of the church arrayed
against Professor Woodworth say they
will take the mutter before the academic
society, the board of the university.
maintaining that if a man is unfit be
cause of his heresies to teach a Sunday
school ho is not the proper person to in
struct the students at the university.
To this Professor Woodworth says
that to eliminate his teachings at tho
university of California they must elim- j
inate science and put in orthodox cler- '
gymen of the old school, who will teach
as truths traditions and legends that
are no more valuable, except sym
bolically, than the myths aud legonds
of ancient Greece.
Washington, Feb. 25. The belated
appropriation bills wertfbefore the senate
with the prospect of working early and
late in order to complete them. Mr.
Cockrell, chairman of the appropriation
committee, made a statement at the
outset as to tho condition of the meas
ures and tho need for night sessions and
speedy work. There were, he said, the
sundry civil bill and the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill on the calendar. The naval appro
priation bill would be hero today or to
morrow. The deficiency bill would also
come over from tho house probably to
day. These bills will need attention as
fast as the senate is able to work, said
Mr. Cockrell. He asked that a recess
be taken at 6 o'clock tonight until 8 and
the session to then continue uutil 10 or
11 tonight.
Mr. Chandler gave notice that if this
agreement was reached he would object
to anything outside of the appropriation
bills.
Mr. Cockrell said this would be th
specific understanding.
Mr. Mandersou (Rep., Neb.), sug
gested that there were too few senators
present tc make such an agreement.
The presiding officer construed this as
an objection, and the request went over
until later in the day.
Mr. Gorman, presented a partial agree
ment of the conferees on the District of
Columbia appropriation bill
The sundry civil bill was takeu up
then. The appropriation of $75,000 for
a public building at Annapolis, Md..
was struck out ou motion of Mr. Gorman.
Mr. Hausbrongh (Rep., N. D.) offered
an amendment, which was agreed to,
including Bismarck, N. D., among those
cities to havo a public building.
Mr. Wilson (Rep., Wash.) also secured
$20,000 for a public building at Olympia.

BETTER FARMING OF SMALL FARMS.
Presid nt Stlckncy Aililrcssinp- Iowa Farm
ers Upon the .Subject.
Nkw Hampton, la.. Feb. 25. Presi
dent Stickney, of the Chicago Great
Western railroad, has inaugurated a sc
ries of meetings along tho Hue of his
road for tho purpose of advocating a
more scientific and thorough farming.
He will hold one or two meetings in all
of the important towns along the line,
which will bo addressed by himself and
others who have had practical experi
ence in special crops, such as potatoos.
A meeting was held here today and was
addressed by Mr. S. H. Hall of Minne
apolis. He claims that nearly 100,000.
000 bushels of potatoes are imported
every year and that by a rotation of
crops aud the cultivation ot iotatoes to
a greater extent this deficiency can bo
made np along the line of the Great
Western road. Mr. Stickney says he
calls it his gospel of better farming of
smaller farms and that it, will be
preached from one end of th road to
the other. They are traveling iu their
special car and making stops in all of
the towns, addressing the farmers upon
the subject.

who, he claimed, were eating horseflesh.
He is uow denounced as an imposter by
dozens or more persons of Decatur coun
ty, one of the counties Hiatt claimed to
represent. Many letters have been re
ceived in this city from that county
saying that while many people are in
destitute circumstances, they are not
eating horseflesh.
