It is rather tough to have a fellow
come up to a reporter, after the latter
has succeeded in running down a good
item, and have him request that nothing
be said about it, thus leaving the op
portunity for some villainous contempor
ary to publish it first. It is thus many
of the so-called "scoops" are obtained.
The Hub is informed on what
seems to bo the very best authority that
Mr. James Wilson, superintendent of
the Kearney water works, bought a
round trip ticket yesterday and started
for Cambridge, 111., with a matrimonial
twinkle in his eye. And further than

A year or two ago a delegate to the
"pop" state convention went mad after
lisiening to one of the efforts of Bill
Green. History appears to have re
peated itself in the following paragraph
.from the Lexington Pioneer: "A dele
gate to the Frontier county pop conven
tion, held-recently, has since become in
sane and is now an inmate of an insane
asylum. "
The board of county county commis
sioners met Thursday last instead ot
Wednesday, as we supposed. We make
this" explanation at the request of Mr.
Burritt, who formed a wrong impression
when he supposed the item was written
lor the purpose of insinuating that he
was derelict in his official duties. The
subject was only mentioned as a bit of
information to the many who are always
interested in the doings of that august
"body and who always look in the col
umns of The Tribune for the first au
thentic reports thereof.
Hiram Darling and wife started for
their home in Moline, HI., last night
after spending three weeks with rela
'tiveshere, and in Julesburg, Col. Mrs.
Darling is a sister of Mrs. Geo. M. Day,
Mr. Day being the popular clerk in Mc
Donald's grocery. They took a trip
through the irrigated district and were
surprised and pleased at the prospects
of this section of Nebraska. Mr. Darling
is a believer in irrigation and he is in
position to talk it when be gets home,
because he is vice president of a national

With the opening of the season and
eight months straight away of oysters

lines have fallen in pleasant places.
The members of the ladies' wheel
club enjoyed a little impromptu picnic
yesterday afternoon over at Hall's grove,
on the North side. A very pleasant time
is reported.
-A number of cases of stealing corn
from the irrigated fields close to thiB
city are reported. Some of the owners
are lying in wait for the rascals with
loaded shotguns.
The gospel tent meetings which bave
been in progress in this city for several
weeks closed their efforts Sunday night,
and it is said will seek greener fields, in
a figurative sense, over in Iowa.
The local democrats of Lincoln.
county have about decided to call a
mass convention to meet in this city on
the 28th inst. for the purpose of nomi
nating a democratic county ticket. "
-The members of the Gordon cornet
band while in Omaha should not fail to
hold the largest crowd possible around
the Lincoln county exhibit. It will
have a good effect on prospective settlers
and also upon casual callers thereto.
"It is an ill wind that blows nobody
good" iB very much believed in by W. H.
Broach, who has been kept busy the
past fortnight photographing exhibits
and agricultural displays intended for
the State fair.
The date of the M. W. A. picnic at
Sutherland has been changed to Satur
day, Sept, 20th, instead of as previously
announced. A number of members of
the order in this city are intending to
drive up to that place in carriages
through the irrigated district west of
this city.
It is probably the first time in the
history of the North Platte river that
fish have been caught with no other lm
plement than a pitchfork, yet it is said
that recently large numbers of pike and
catfish have been caught in this manner
in the pools occasioned by the low stage
of water.

They have a very dry season down
about the state capital, and are begin-

gation
It is said that the Paxton fc Her-
shey canal company will take out its
head-gate and put in a new one, and the
North Platte Land & Water Co. is fig
uring upon the same thing, as is also
the Conway, Neilson & Hunter Company.
These changes are made necessary by
the drifting sands, which have caused
some trouoie tne past season, it is
claimed that with a properly constructed
head gate this difficulty may be avoided.
Night watch Davis had an exciting
chase last evening up in the west end
after a half dozen "hoboes", among
whom he thought was a suspect who
was wanted upon the charge of shoot
ing with intent to kill, and for whom
there is a reward offered of S200. After
ordering them to halt, which they ne
glected to do, he chased them into
Beach Hinman's cornfield, firing a cou
ple of shots at them. He succeeded in
overhauling four of them, and after dis
covering the man he wanted was not in
the gang gave up the pursuit.
At a meeting yesterday of the board
of directors and stockholders of the
South Side irrigation canal company it
was decided to at once begin the work
of putting in the headgate for the same
in the North river, as owing to, the low
stage of water the work con be done
very expeditiously and economically.
John Hmman was the lowest bidder for
the work and to him the contract was
awarded. He will immediately begin
operations thereon and push the work
vigorously. It was reported that but
eight miles of ditch out of a total of
forty-two miles yet remained uncom-
pIeted,-upon which work was being
pushed. An auxiliary head-gate will
lso be immediately put in the South
Platte river, and the submerged flume,
of which a portion was washed a trifl
out of line last spring, will be repaired;
and if no unusually'bad weather sets in
or other unavoidable delays occur, the
company hopes to have the water -flowing
itfits canal by January 1st, next.-

Sheriff Miller's chattel mortgage

M. C. Keith has recently purchased
a corn-binder, for cutting and saving the
fodder, which we believe is the first ma
ohine of its kind sold in this vicinity.

banner county in regard to this subject.

Committeeman.
The Lincoln county exhibit for the
State fair left this morning for Omaha.
la the opinion of many strangers who
have seen a portion of the samples, it
will only be necessary for those having
in charge the installation of the display
to conclude their work in a first class
manner, and tnis county will piobably
succeed in capturing the sweepstakes'
prize for the best county collective ex

"Anse" Haley wished to establish
his reputation as a "broncho buster,"
and accordingly he procured a huge cow
boy saddle and socurely cinched it upon
he smaller one of the Knudsen brothers'
(the tram-robbers) horses a few evenings
ago. Jtte was warned tnat tne animal
was disposed' to be "ornery," but he was
not discouraged from his attempt After
proceeding but a short distance the
broncho concluded to have a little fun
with the genial Tbm, and the way it ele
vated him up amoug the little stars
would have delighted the heart of an
aeronaut. The would-be rider now ''has
that tired feeling incident to the amateur
"buster," yet bo knows agreat deal more
about bronchos than formerly.
Mrs. C. M. Newton yesterday morn

is probably higher geared- than any
ady's wheel in North Platte.
If indications are anything North
Platte and Lincoln county will be very
iberally represented at the State fair in
Omaha. A -half-fare railroad rate is
quite an inducement. It would be an
excellent plas for the Union Pacific
railway to run trains 5 and 6 through
to and from this city instead of Kearney
during fair week. The change could be
made without interfering but very little
with the regular time card.
The Ladies Guild of the Episcopal

the purchase of plalnnd fancy articles.
North Platte's railroad project
should not be allowed to languish, as by
agitating the: subject some other com
peting line may be induced to take up
he matter. A road is badly needed up
the North Platte valley, and it would be
a profitable, one from the day of its
opening.
