There is a precocious "kid" in
this city who has begun the prac
tice of unscrewing the caps upon
any bicycle he finds unguarded and
allowing the air to escape. Some
day some irate wheelman will just
naturally break the young rascal in
two, and then thrash any one who
attempts to interfere with him
while performing this pleasant
duty. v .
Attorney Rhea is authority for
the statement that C. B. Jordan
has traded a half section of Lincoln
county land lying nine and sixteen
miles northeast of this city to par
ties in the city of Lincoln for a liv
ery stock valued at $3,000. This
would indicate that land in the so
called sand hills is yet worth some
thing more than the taxes. He
says that a number of other simi
lar deals are in progress.

If the fair society of Lincoln
county is intending to give an ex- i
hibition this fall it is high time
that it was letting the people, and
more especially the agricultural
portion, of the commuuity know
something about it The local im
migration society is exploiting the
agricultural possibilities of this
region under irrigation, and there
is nothing that so well corrobor
ates its statements as to have a fine

iphould be well represented.

The bicycle fad in NorLh Platte
has developed a new vocation that
of an instructor for timid f eminines.
In the large cities this practice has
been prevalent for a long time, and
all the old roller skating rinks have
been transformed into schools for
instruction. The method is to
buckle a broad, easy fitting belt
with a handle thereon around the
waist of the rider, by which the
attendant is able to control the
movements of his pupil.

Tribune will give it to its readers
in detail. The services of the Gor
don cornet band have been engaged
for the occasion, and the boys have
ordered a large lot of music for

responding liberally with donations
to meet the expenses connected
with the celebration.
News reached this city this
city this week of the recent death
of Mrs. Frank Jennings, of Fox
Creek precinct, this county, in a
rather singular manner. It seems
that her husband was one of those
who left Lincoln county some time
ago in search of a new location, but
since the late copious rains has re
turned to his old home. The house
house occupied by the family wasa
sod structure, and on account of
the heavy rains the roof had become
weakened, thus causing it to fall,
crushing the life out of the unfor
tunate woman.
