The scheme to send a train load of produce principally potatoes to the eastern market as an adver tising card, meets the approval of many of our leading citizens. It's a good thing, push it along. At a meeting of the Episcopal vestry held yesterday afternoon. Rev. L. P. LcDonald's letter of re signation was accepted, to take effect Sept. 30th. The vestry then issued a call to Rev. Geo.E.Beecher, of Sidney. The attendance at the meeting called a few evenings ago for the purpose of organizing a new band was hardly sufficiently large to war rant the initial steps. Another meeting will probably be held in the near future. John Lemaster went to Kearney yesterday to look over the bicycle factory there with a view of seeing what machinery is necessary to the manufacture of wheels. He contem plates engaging in manufacturing wheels on a limited scale. The Keith County Republican is the name of a York county publi cation bearing the above county.

E. received orders yesterday to have his company attend the encamp ment at Hastings, which begins the 26th inst and ends on the 31st. The members of the company, or at least a large majority of them, are highly elated. The encampment means lots of fun to them. It is noticed that some men in North Platte will work out in the hot sun for six hours in order to earn sufficient money to rent a bicy cle to ride during the evening fol lowing that work. Such a proceed ing is, of course, nobody's business but it leads one to wonder why the the money is not devoted to some restful recreation. Thos. Meglemere. living on the south side, was thrown from his wagon by a runaway team on Spruce street last evening. He was picked up and carried to the home of J. W. Voodry and Dr. Mc Cabe summoned, who found that the injuries consisted of severe bruises on the head and shoulders. The team was frightened by a fly ing kite. Judge Neville and John Sawyer went pike fishing yesterday, and the success which attended their efforts is the talk of the town to day. The catch made by the Judge was not quite equal to that made by Colonel Sawyer. This may be accounted for by the fact that the Judge used the same bait for pike tliat he proposes to uss this fall for political suckers. ' The inclement weather last evening kept many people away from the Presbyterian social at the Slack residence, yet the attendance was large, about 150 persons being served with ice cream and cake. Many of those present were teach ers who are attending the institute. The ladies in charge had made preparations for a very large crowd, twenty-seven gallons of ice cream and ices and scores of cakes having been made. Of this considerable was left, and we understand it will be served, at the court house park this evening. We have seen some bicycles striped at Pealb's. Have your dental work done at the H. M.

A single mast schooner, built to breast the raging waters of the North Platte river, was finished in this city yesterday and will be launched to-day amid the clinking of other schooners. Several young ladies of the city are receiving instruction on the violin of Prof. Garlichs. Here's hoping that they may become as proficient in handling the instru ment as is the Professor. Our merchants are beginning to receive their stocks of fall goods and from the number of boxes and bales received it would seem that they expect brisk trade with the coming of cool weather. Last night's rain was very op portune, for in many sections the corn was in bad shape. The fall in this city was one-fourth of an inch, but it was apparently heavier in the south part of the county. Certain parties who are in the habit of skinning the river of fish with seines are being watched, and if the practice is not stopped they may be snatched before a court of justice to atone to the offended law. Attend service at the Baptist church on Sunday. Preaching both morning and evening. Song service at 8 p. m. Mrs. Bateman, of Washingten, will sing a solo at the evening service.

R. reun ion at Hastings, which begins on the 26th inst. North Platte has always been well represented at these meetings. It is 6aid the yield of wheat on the Thoelecke farm-south of town will surprise some of the wheat growers on the old ditch. Mr. Thoelecke has a large acreage of corn that will produce a heavj yield if sufficient rain falls within the next few days, otherwise it will not amount to much. We learn that Xavier Toillion has said that he would be willing to put in a car-load of corn into the ir rigation district advertising train through to the eastern seaboard, if he only comes out even on the plan. Certainly this is a commendable and proper spirit. Now where are the next two dozen gentlemen that will follow his meritorious example. We are in receipt of a Grand Junction (Col.) paper gvilIir quite a write-up of the fruit farm o vned by our former townsman J. F. Jack son. This article states that Mr. Jackson will harvest 1250 boxes of peaches, ten or fifteen tons of grapes and quite a quantity of plums and pears.
