MINOR MENTION.
"Will Briggs was expected down
-from Denver this morning-, but we
did not learn whether he arrived.
Dr. Morrill has secured the Dr.
Mneller (of Berlin) method of pain
. less extraction of teeth. This
- method is absolutely harmless.
-J. H. Black & Son, the Kearney
celer' growers, shipped six car-
loads of celery to Kansas City this
"week. Here is an industry that
our farmers oa the ditch should in
vestigate. L j. ue engine pumng me iast
fnail broke down on the Fourth dis
trict this morning and came in an
hour "and a half late. The Denver
-cars, which form part of that train,
were run through as a special.
The populists held a meeting
. at Hershey "Wednesday evening
Avhichwas attended-, by an audi
Ti. . . ii r i
ence numbering just twenty-five,
. : three of whom were populists. J
Gasbag Beeler made the principal
talk.
The populists have been mak-
ing polls of the city vote for a week
- or two past, and have finally placed
the republican plurality at 185
They claim that they will come into
the V:ity with a plurality of 200,
thus electing their ticket b' fifteen
,. This is a poor guess.
u. . iongaon savs lie was
more or less injured the other day
by stepping in a hole in the side
walk along the property of Coun
cilman Thomson. De "Witt will
probably appear before the next
meeting of the council and make
complaint.
;. Dr. Morrill has on hand $300.00
".worth of artificial teeth.
"!- '- All employes of the Union
Pacific, so it is said, will be given
free transportation to Denver and
return if they so desire. This is
- quite a liberal offer on the part of
the compan'. This transportation
is furnished so that the afflicted
may be able to have- their wrongs
righted by the divine healer.
The republican rally at the
opera house on Saturday evening,
Nov. 2d, will be the meeting of the
campaign. Fred Collins, of Lincoln,
who will be the principal speaker
- of the evening, is one of the most
gifted 'brators in the state, and will
make a speech worth going many
miles to hear. He will be accom
panied by one or two other speak
. ers from Lincoln. Country resi
' dents should make it a point to be
present at this meeting.
The Northwestern road receiv
ed this week four new engines of
"the "999" style, which will run "on
the fast mail trains between Coun
cil Bluffs and Boone, Iowa. On a
trial trip "Wednesday 'one of these
locomotives covered twelve miles in
nine minutes with a train of eight
cars. The drivers measure six feet
four inches, with 19x24 cylinders.
It is claimed the engines wity be
able to make eighty miles per hour
without difficulty.
It is ( said that the Hamilton
Cadets ot Lexington, a military
. Company composed of young ladies
'wfll attend he annual ball to be
given by the Cody Guard next
"month. The Cadets were at the
-reunion at Hastings and created a
.favorable impression by reason of
their soldierly appearance and ex
cellent drills. If they come to this
city they should be engaged to give
: a'drili prior to the grand march at
the.ball. . It would prove a drawing
card.

the pilgrimage there being in the
interest ot their physical ills which
they hope may be cured or alleviated
by the divine healer.
Several big piles of loose hay
in closeproximity to buildings, are
noticable around town, which, we
believe, is contrary to a city ordi
nance. This hay offers some in
ducements to the small boys who
handle matches with a dangerous
recklessness.
If all citizens felt as kindly to
ward the fire department as Harry
Fikes, the fire laddies would "con

the orice of five' dance tickets for

his example with credit.
The .North 'Platte Cemetery
Association has elected George E.
French as its secretary. It" is said
that next season the association

through the cemetery, plant trees

roundings. Candor compels us all
to admit that improvements are
needed.
A resident of this city- is figur
ing on putting in forty acres of
suarar beets on irrigated land near
town next season if he can make a
contract with the Grand Island

irrigated land and thinks he can
demonstrate that this, section is the
proper place at which
sugar factory.

A report comes from Ogalalla
to the effect that the hunting party
which left here two weeks ago be
came lost in the sandhills and trav
eled some'fiftv miles out of their
way. The report says they wand
ered through the hills for four days
and during that time one of their
horses died. The report is given
for what it is worth, but it comes
pretty straight. The liorse which
died was replaced by one obtained
:at Matt Daugherty's ranch.
It is contrary to municipal law
for boys to carry and use sling
shots, and unless they desist in this
practice arrests are sure to follow.
"Wednesday evening Councilman
Fikes was sitting in his house when
a stone from one ot these slings
came crashing through the window
and passing through the curtain
struck a door on the Opposite side
of the room. M. H. Douglas and
Mrs. Mathews also report that they
have had windows broken with
these "nigger shooters."
Major Walker received a letter
a dar or two ago from his son Les
ter, who is located at Savannah,
Ga., in which he states that Colonel
Cody received a royal welcome in
that city.Nearly all the business
houses closed on the afternoon of
the show; even the celebration of
General Lee's birthday did not
cause such a universal cessation of
business. Lester met Col. Cody
rode with him to his car and took
dinner with him. The Colonel told
Lester he was making lots of money
this season and intended investing
it all in Lincolncunty.
