"HIGHEST MARKET PRICE Paid For Country Produce. MINOR MENTION.- Smoke the "Royal Sport" cigar. Rt, Rev. Graves, bishop of the Platte jurisdiction, officiated at the Church of Saviour Sunday. Platte River lodge No. 32, A. F, & A. M., of this city, will hold its regular election of officers to-night. At Hartford, Conn., our own and only "Buffalo Bill" exhibited to over 40,000 people. This looks as if he were still a good drawing card. Jolinny Ell last Saturday re ceived a fine new Kearney Special bicycle. This is the third wheel of this pattern in this city. E. B. "Warner is making some improvements to his" undertaking v rooms which will add to their con venience and the care of goods in his line. A geological party from the Kansas state university passed through this city Friday afternoon in search of specimens for that in stitution. Lester Eells was exhibiting some of the finest and most shapely strawberries which have ever fallen under the editorial optic, the pro duct of his own labor. A petition to the city council to have Third street graded is being circulated. It is being generally signed, as the street is badly in need of attention. Married, on the, 10th of June, in the Lutheran church, by the pastor Rev. D. Z. Foulk, John H. Williams and Miss Etta May Wright, both of Sutherland, Neb. Master Ed Park is trying his hand at cabbage farming on his father's farm under the old ditch. The youth. has been, promisedall he can make out of his crop. Charley Seyferth 3resterday morning received a fine new bicycle of the Eagle pattern. This make of wheels was the winner of the great Chicago road race. A'number of North Platte peo ple will attend the great races in Red Oak, Iowa, this month. A string of horses will be there that will eclipse anything ever given in the west. The members of Co. E., N. N. G. , of this city,are making prepara tios for a grand social ball the event ing of July 4th, at Lloyd's opera house. It promises to be a huge affair. In line with western Nebraska exchanges: Because of the recent copious rains do not let your irri gation interests lag when the dry winds come and it raineth not, it may prove to be your only salvation. Anyone doubting that a South Bend, Ind., firm is manufacturing bicycles will find out differently by consulting Wm. Smallwood. Last pay day he purchased one for his daughter Blanche, who is out at Portland. Dan Fowles will probably soon become Maxwell's crack bicycle rider as he was examining the fine points of the various wheels in this "city last Saturday, with a view of purchasing. A. L. Davis succeeded in making a sale to him. North Piatt's bicycle riders to the number of about fifty assembled Saturday evening and made a yer' creditable parade, during the band concert. The affair passed off very pleasantly without an accident further than the occasional dump ing of a rider. An individual with a copious jag, caused some fear to the timid ones. In the future these fellows should be notified to "keep off the grass, !'or else run them in The course for the bicycle road race on the ISth inst. is as follows: From the dispatchers' oince on Front street west to section house, cross to north side of railroad track rtT1lnK. cross track south to the county road, that is in front of C A. Wyman's, thence east to B. I Hinman's corner, thence north one block to Second street thence east to Spruce street, thence north to bank crossing. Two round tips over this route to constitute the The ladies' guild will hold a lawn social at the Gilman residence next Friday afternoon. Miss Clayton left this morning for Salt Lake City, where she will spend her summer vacation. Rev. Mr. Potter, of Kearney, will occupy the. pulpit at the Epis copal church next Sunday. Interesting Children's day ex ercises were held at "the Presby terian church Sunday morning. Extensive preparations have been made for the Maccabee enter tainment to be given at Keith's hall this evening. If 'all indications do not fail one of North Platte's school teachers will bow her neck to the hymneal yoke ere the June roses fade and wither. The Fair store recently sold a bicycle to Clem Steel, the champion climber, and he is now taking more falls therefrom than he ordinarily receives. Oh the 17th inst at the Y. M. C. A. rooms the "silver grubs" will have a battle royal with the "gold bugs" over the money question. An animated time is expected. Owing to the generous rains in Colorado, and the little need, for irrigation, the water in the South Platte river is at a very high stage, the banks being almost filled. Prof. Garlich th;s morning re ceived the music for the opera of "Little Tycoon" which will be put on the stage by the choral society. Rehearsals jxvlil begin to-morrow evening. . G. C. Donehower received lust week from the supreme tent of the Maccabees a handsome medal for organizing the., first tent of the order in the state of Nebraska, in this city. The peo pie of Sutherland are making arrangements for a big 4th of July celebration, and no doubt will have an enjoyable time. W. T. Wilcox, of this city will be the orator of the day. The failure of the insurance company to promptly pay the fire loss is delaying the purchase of furniture for the Knights of Py thias hall. The matter, however, will be settled within a few days. M. K. Barnum received Satur day what is probably the finest all purpose bicycle in the city. It is of the Rambler '95 pattern, is rein forced at all weak points, and weighs but twenty-two pounds. U. S. Fish Commission car No. 3 passed westward yesterday morn ing. It contained many handsome specimens of bass and other species of the finny tribe, which attracted no little degree of attention from the curious. Upon investigation The Tri bune learns that its informant was mistaken in regard to Lawyer Beeler losing a couple minor law suits a short time ago. This cor rection is due Mr. Beeler and would have been made some time ago had not the Era grown so rampant over the matter. The county commissioners should devise some ways and means for improving the apperance of the courthouse in the way of a substan tial foundation and . some paint upon the cupola. They would scarcely allow their private pro perty to get in this condition. Yesterday deputy sheriff Keli her picked up a. fellow on the street who is wanted in Greeley, Col., upon a charge of grand larceny. He was sailing under the name of Chas. Conrad, alias Chas. Blanger, and at the time of his arrest was selling snide spectacles. He is a barber by trade. . An orchestra has been formed in tne uuorai society unaer tne direction of Prof. Garlichs consist- of Messrs. Alvin Pool, W. E. Bock, G. F. Weingand, Chas. Pool and S. L.Bristol. This should make a very rong organization and one cap able of rendering some good music. Sheriff Miller says if he is wanted by the people of Lincoln county to fill his present office for another term that he intends fol lowing Judge Ray's example and will purchase and learn to ride a bicycle. By so doing he figures that he will be able to save the price of feed for a team each year. Yesterday morning Chas. P. Ross shipped the meter used by him in measuring the amount of water flowing in the North Platte river to Boise, Idaho, the observer there having lost his instrument by a flood. Another instrument will be shipped here from Washington to take the place of the one sent away. Mr. Ross has not yet com puted the amount of water as shown by the last measurement he being occupied in figuring the amount of excavating required for the Alfalla irrigation district ditch in Keith county. As there is a great deal of water flowing at present in the South Platte river it might be well to make an estimate of its carrying cadtj. ANNOUNCEMENT!!! California new large pota toes very cheap.

The Ladies of the Maccabees held their regular election of officers las,t Saturday afternoon. 7-' - Wm. Winters, of Keith county was in the city this morning on, business before the local landoffice. An 'old fiddle bids fair-to be-, come a bone of contention between two parties within a few days in one of our local justice's courts. The three hose teams are prac ticing for the races to be. lipid on the 4th of July. The Third ward team expects to be" strictly in it this year. The man who handles the lawn mower these mornings may be said to have a "push' although he may not necessarily be much of a politi cian. The 1st of July the membership fee of the K. O. T. M. will be raised and those who wish to get in on the ground floor of the order are taking advantage of the present. This afternoon a game of base ball will be played at the old ground between the old nine and a picked team. It will be worth going out to see in order that you may hear Lawyer Healey coach his boys. A number of our citizens have expressed a desire to see published a statement of the expenditure of the local relief commission in the way of seed purchase out of the 58,000 appropriated by the state legislature. It would probably be a good idea so to do. The official route for the bi cycle race next week is posted in several windows, and has attracted considerable attention. The names of the handicappers are given, and when they promulgate their work it will cause even greater interest. . W. T. Wilcox went to Ogalalla yesterday morning to defend a fel low charged with arson. H. M. Grimes having previously started for Hoosierdom this left but A. H. Davis to maintain the equilibrium of the firm which he succeeded in satisfactorily doing. Miss Lillian Pike, the noted Denver elocutionist will give an .entertainment at Keith'slialton'the 28th inst, under the auspices of the ladies of the M. E. church. Inter esting features of the programme will be her club swinging and illus trations of the Delsartean move ments. The prices of admission will be 25 cents for adults, and 15 cents for children. This will be an excellent opportunity for you to allow the latter to see how Hamlet intended that his lines should be spoken, as the young lady is on her way homeward from Boston where she has been taking a ..two years' course in elocutionary work. Sheriff Miller the latter part 6t the week detained a couple of frail females from York, upon an order from the parents of one of them. It appears that the older of the twain enticed her companion away from home upon the pretense of making a few days trip, but they had been out about four weeks, and one of them became disgusted with the life and was willing to return home. The other was not so inclined. On Saturday they were boarding at hotel Miller awaiting transporta tion which was expected from York county. As nothing could be heard definitely from the parents of the girls they were turned loose last evening, upon their promise to leave the city.

Park made a brief trip to Omaha Sunday night Engines 807 and 833 are receiving general repairs in the back shop. Engine 721 is in the round house this week undergoing light repairs and receiving new paint. The 965 passed through this city Sunday on her way to Pocatello after having an Omaha overhauling. A huge new grindstone was put in place in the back shop Saturday which is greatly appreciated by the men. Conductor Lu Pierce has returned from his visit to his home in Den ver and resumed his passenger run west out of this city. T. A. Hedendahl, superintend ent of air-brakes, is in the city to day finding out what the boys know about compressed air. R. L. Graves and R. Sculley re turned Sunday from their trip to Omaha, the latter not being able to receive the medical relief he desired. The pay checks for the road men are being distributed to-day. In the generally settling of accounts don't forget that printer's little bill. One of the "back" shop boys was exhibiting this week a specimen of amateur painting which was some thing excellent in the way of a car toon. Sunday night the canal at Goth- eriburg broke over its banks and washed out the track to such an extent as to delay trains from the east for several hour One of the apprentices in the boiler shop has been afforded the opportunity of looking for a new situation it is said on account of the humorous (?) way in which he put in his time. It sometimes does not pay to be a humorist. Joe Taylor, an old time fireman out of this city but who has been employed at Sidney of recent years, passed through here yesterday on his way to Omaha to attend the state- Masonic" grand lodge as a delegate. Special car 05 passed through this city yesterday from Salt Lake containing S. H. H. Clark, E. Dick inson, J. H. McConnell and other officials who had been out to the Mormon mecca resisting the peti tion of the Short Line for a divorce. The president has named Wm. J. Coombs, an ex-congressman of a Brooklyn, N. Y., district, as a gov ernment director for the Union Pacific system, vice Don. M Dick inson, who will probably be ap pointed to a government position. 4Killposey, "an old time brakeman formerly running out Of this city, who once received a silver lantern at a voting contest at a church tair, was calling upon his old friends here the latter part of the week. He was bronzed and bearded so that he was scarcely recognizable by many of them. As I. K. Neeley sees frequent mention of Rev. Graves, preaching at Hershey and other points in this vicinity in these columns he writes a friend, enclosing a clipping from The Tribune, and wishes to know if it is his old friend and office mate R. L. that is mentioned. He had learned of W. J. Crusen and D. W. Crane taking up this role, and did not know but what Lon had fol lowed their lead. Ike is and has been employed in the mayor's office of La Salle, 111., for a number of years. According to the daily papers Hugh T. Crockett has been granted an increase of his pension. The ravages of the irrepressi ble young chicken in a neighbor's garden nearly led to a bitter quarrel over in the Third ward the latter part of the week. A party of boys made last night hideous by giving a newly married couple a tin can serenade. This is a practice which the officers of the law should suppress. The Tribune has received several political announcements from gentlemen who will be candi dates before the republican conven tion, but will not publish the same unfil others are received. These cards will be published free of charge and those who expect to be candidates should send in their announcements.

M First door south of Streitz' Drug Store, - - NORTH PLATTE, NEB. So far this municipal year city clerk Scharmann has issued but seven dog" licenses, but the marshal is doing" valiant service in destroy ing the unlicensed canines. Up to noon to-day he had put an end to seventeen of these animals. Ed Loveland, who is more favorable to horses than bicvcles as carriers of human freight, has been attempting to get up a race be tween a running- horse and a bi cyclist. He is not particular wheth er the distance is five or twenty miles. So far he has not been able to arrange a race. Judging" from the way the weather agrees with observer Piercy's new flag is proving" to be a veritable mascotte in the way of rain-producing". The local indica tions for to-morrow are continued warmth and fair weather just the thing" to kill cut-worms and make the corn get a hump on itself.
