Blood has just imported from Colorado one of the late Bill Nye's favor ite animals, the pensive burro. In the east within the last two or three years this has become a very favorite animal for the amusement of children, and with the care which many of them receive they make very creditable specimens. These populists in Lincoln county are making energetic efforts to increase their majority. Sheriff Miller is the latest to exhibit a pernicious activity in this direction, and together with his wife rejoices over the arrival of a bright new boy baby of regulation weight and crying capacity.

It requires con siderable nerve, these democratic times, to undertake an enterprise of this char acter; yet if there is a people on earth who have more energy than another class of their kindred, it is these selfsame Methodists. Success to them in. their undertaking. W. C. Elder, J. S. Hoagland and A S. Baldwin went to Kearney this week and were successful in their efforts to capture the republican congressional convention for this city. There will be two conventions held this year in tho Sixth district, one on April 13th at Brokenbow, in the evening, for the pur pose of selecting delegates to tho na tional convention at St Louis; and the regular nominating convention will be held at North Platte, August 19th at 10 o'clock a. m. On Wednesday evening, at the resi dence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Htb. George Nauman, in this city, Judge Ray pronounced the mystic words which made James S. Smith and Miss Laura Nauman husband and wife.

These social gatherings are s:iid to be productive of much amusement. Which is the first North Platte society to hold one? I urgently request all who owe accounts at Ottens Shoe Store to call and settle. The stock will be closed out. E. OTTEN. Russell Fowles, of Maxwell, was in this city on Wednesday and reports irri gation matters in that vicinity in a state of inactivity awaiting the decision of tho supreme court upon this subject. He says that should this be antagonistic to the district plan of irrigation that they can build their canal with private capital. The Columbia Dramatic Club will render the latest comedy drama "Strife," i by Horace C. Dale, at Lloyd's opera house Tuesday evening, March 17th, for the benefit of St. Patrick's church.

Jerry Goodman sent out the other morning one of the Scout's Rest ranch employes to milk the buffalo cows re ceived this week at the ranch.

The differences between the Sub urban district and the Cody & Dillon irrigation company have at last been mutually settled to the satisfaction of the interested parties. We are informed hat the basis of the agreement is the withdrawal of what are known as the Dillon lauds, east of town, from the operations under tho district. Now if tho North Platte Land & Water Co. and the Suburban people could only arrive at some amicable settlement of their differences it would be much better for the cause of irrigation interests in this vicinity.

Before this can be accomplished the original articles of in corporation must be amended. Of late years here in North Platte when any commendable public enterprise is about to be commenced it is now first necessary to look into all the legal phases of the case. Time was when this was not true when anything of public benefit was contemplated everybody pulled to gether as ono harmonious whole for the welfare of our city. What is the matter?

Letters received by parties in this city stated that tho suows in tho Wyoming and northern Colorado moun tains are becoming very heavy. This will prove good news to irrigationists, as it will insure an abundaneoof. water for the coming crop season. Tho county commissioners met this morning to consider the matter of the formation of the Suburban irrigation district, but adjourned until 1 o'clock p. m. Pending the arrival of that hour they scrutinized some of. the numerous bills on file against tho county Tho administration democrats of Nebraska will hold their state conven tion at Lincoln on April 29th, at 4 o'clock p. m.

Do you want any of the follow ing seasonable articles onion sets, alfalfa seed, seed corn, blue grass seed? We can suppty you at very low prices. Good goods. Harrington & Town. Mayor D. W. Baker has decided to be a candidate for re-election at the coming municipal election. During the past year ho has made a very economical, and, so far as we know. satisfactory official. If re elected ho promises to work for tho best interests of the city, which is all anyone could desire. See his announcement elsowhero in this paper. In olden times it was oft demon strated that tho court jester had periods of wisdoiV worthy of a sage. Tho poet- philosopher of the Lincoln Journal, A. , Bixby, in ono of his lucid moments gave this evidence that history repeats itself: "It is related as true that a cow boy recently rode up to a livery stable at North Platto and in a tono of author ity said to the man in charge, 'Here, boss, take this boss, Free Silver, rub him well, and then give him a big feed of oats! See?' 'Wliv, inquired the hostler, 'do you call him Free Silver?' Cause he's only half as yood as he looks!" For years Maxwell precinct has wriggled along and kept up with tho procession iu fairly good shape without the aid of a justice of the peace. Now that they have au official of that char acter thev are in the midst ot injunc tion proceeding and ether court pro cesses. The reason for the former pro ceeding is as follows: It appears that on the 21st ult. a man in that locality began a suit before tho new justice to recover a certain sum cue him as wages from another individual. Upon the 25th ult. tho interested parties got together and had a settlement, the defendant tak ing the plaintiff's receipt in full. Follow ing this transaction the day set for trial came on, and tho defendant, thinking the business had been coucluded, di;i not put in appearance at court. A judg ment for the amount claimed was ac cordingly rendered. The constable armed himsolf with an execution and proceeded to seize upon a team belong ing to tho defendant. The latter went to Brady Island and employed the ser vices of Lawyer Matbewson. That gentleman came to this city immediately and had Judge Ray issue an injunction preventing the officer from selling or disposing of the horses until tho matter has been finally adjudicated. J stvles in furniture about E. B. WARNER. (UNDERTAKER.) I M. NEWTON'S. A fow of the bolder spirits ventured out this morniurr with their cutters to enjoy last night's fall o the beautiful. Either Charlov Ell or Sam Donohower must be a "hoodoo." Tho other night they started out with train No. 3 and had not proceeded more than a milo or two before tho engine became disabled Tho train was nulled into Pallas and j they backed down to this city antl . : jumped on the 83S, and upon reaching their train, again started for Sidney Before reaching the lattor point the brake-rigging of tho engine broke and they wore compelled to stop and discon nect tho same. Despite these difficulties thev succeeded in showing up a little better than running time. If T. Pulton Gantt's own and only specialh imported Journalist will care fullv consu-t tho files of Tun Tribunh of ono brief year ago, which ho has in his den, ho will discover that the attitude of this paper to-day upon the subject of Mr. Belton's (or Pelton's) scheme to se duce the city into a 8G00 a year rental contract, is precisely the same as it was then. After tho April election is over he will further discover that Mr. Belton never was "in it" as a candidate for mayor to any very alarming extent. If present indications do not fail this fall he will discover that the people of Lin coln county are disgusted with the methods of these alleged reformers, and the aforesaid Journalist will be started Washington-wards upon tho toe of the doughty Colonel's boot. So far as tho personal allusions to the writer are con cerned they are of neither interest nor importance to the readers of The Tki bcne. so long as the paper continues to be the reliable advocate of republicanism. If our personal opinions cut any figure, if would have developed in the campaign of 1S93, (the first successful one for the populists), when the writer was de facto editor of the Era aftor Cols. Stockton, Gantt, Choyney, Hardin, et al had tried their 'prentico hands in making a suc cessful political' fight. This without any attempt at ogotism, but because it is a matter of Lincoln county's political history. PEOPLE WHO COME AND GO. John Seeg wont oast yesterday morn ing on No. 2. Frank J.

All members of the society, and their friends, aro invited to be present. One of tho most soul-stirring speeches ever heard in these parts was delivered by Col. Elder at too congres sional committee meeting Tuesday after noon. It was eloquent, thrilling, im passioned, and worth going miles to hear. He rather overdid it, however, when he pledged himself not to nvike a speech if the convention was located at North Platte, because tho boys would all rather hear Elder talk than indulge in any other form of light recreation After it was all over, Mr. Elder author ized the Hub to anounce that ho would prepare an olaborate speech of welcome to the delegates and visitors when they visited tho irrigation city, which would bo read by Doc. Warner from the dome of the court house and in full view of the audience. Kearney Hub. TO THE PEOPLE OF NORTH PLATTE, Dear Friends: You are aware, no doubt, of the breaking of a water pipe in the Y. M. C. A. bath rooms not long since, and of the damago done by the water to the clothing stock of Messers Weber & Vollmer. The amount of dam ago was found by the arbitrators to be $82.75.
