The city council held its resrular semi-monthly meeting-last evening", Mayor Baker and Councilmen Schaltz, Day; Hall and Scott being present. A call for a report from the committee to which had been referred the Nance damage case was made, but the committee was not prepared to make a report- H. V. Hoagland, attorney for the plaintiffrwaspresent and asked that the council take some action on the matter as early as possible, and the committee promised to make a report at the next regular meet ing" of the council. Bills were approved as follows: Hanfield hauling- 27.00, salary bill for first quarter $590.00. P. G. Meyer establishing- corners SI0.00. The following- bills were allowed: H. S. Keith sundries 4.50, W.. R. Morgan killing- dogs S3.00 Wolf Electrical Co. supplies $23.75, Water Works Co. hydrant rental $76.00. . The bill of the Baptist church for rent of hose house ground from July 1, 1S96, to Jan. 1, 1897. was tabled. The committee on streets re ported the street running- north and south in front of the Cody resi dence in bad condition and recom mended that it be repaired. The street will receive the attention of the street commissioner in the near future. The question of street lamps was called up, and after considerable discussion it was moved that the council order fifty lamps of the same desigii as the one located on the Hendy corner, provided that the manufacturers will accept in pament a warrant drawn on the general fund on Julv 1st, 1897. If this proposition is accepted it is the intention to distribute the lamps equally between the three wards. Fifty lamps will not light the streets to any degree of perfec tion, but they will prove a good thing as far as they go. The lamps and -costs, together with the freight and the labor of putting them in place, will cost about six dollars each"; CEILD REITS PASTY. The total receipts both of the Juvenile concert and the dance was $64.50, which after paying- rent. printing- and moving- piano, leaves a balance of $42.00, which is now in the hands of Alvin Pool, treasurer. Friday night is set apart to enter taTn the children, and every parent is requested to send a cake to the hall Friday. The North Platte band has been engaged and every thing will be done to please the children. Now as the rent of hall and music for that night has to be paid from the balance of $42. leav ing a sum insufficient to provide for all children, the orchestra has de cided to charge adults 10 cents to enter the gallery. thus securing enough to provide for all. Every child, rich or poor, big- or little, in fact all school children are invited to attend, free. The Committee. IfiBIGATlbiT TAIB ITOTES. Swan Starkeu has made fair pro gress on the woman's building, and the work already performed indi cates that the building- will be quite an imposing- as well as pretty structure and one of which the ladies may well feel proud. It is now settled that a side track will be laid from the mill into the fair grounds, thus affording- rapid and comfortable transportation of passengers by rail from the depot to the grounds, as well as facilitat ing the handling-ot exhibits. After considerable and unavoid able delay the lumber for the main exhibition hall is now arriving-, and it is now almost certain that work on the building- will be commenced next Friday. It is the intention to push the work forward with vim : and vigor. The Wild West Wheelmen will shortly get out a programme of the races to be held during the fair. The card will contain a number of events open to all, and this will insure the attendance of a lare number of crack-a-jacks not only from this state, but from Iowa and Colorado. The wheel races will be one of the main sporting- features of the fair. Secretary Seeberg-er expects to make a trip to the western counties within the next week for the pur- pose of working- up a greater in terest in the fair, and urge upon the people the great benefit to be derived to each county by making- a full and complete exhibit of agri cultural exhibits. Mr. Seeberger is a. rustler and there is no doubt but he will meet with great success xa his work. STJTHESLA2TD HEWS. James Shoup returned from Mis souri last week?

McKinleys expression, "Honest money and a chance to earn it by honest toil," isn't so flamboyant as Bryan's "Crown of thorns and cross of gold," but it contains a good deal more sense. Old man McNulty, living- near Ocouto peppered his son with a load of shot last week. The shooting was the result of a dispute over the ownership of an old bridle. The wounded man will recover. OBITTJAEY. On Friday. July 31st, at about 12.30 p. m., Hubert, the little son of Mr. and Mis. C. A. Beckett, died after an illness of but a few days with cholera infantum. He seemed to be improving when suddenly a change was noticed for the worse and the little one lasted but a few hours. The funeral took place from the Nichols school-houseAugust-lst, at 11 a. m.T conducted by Rev. A. Coslet and was attended by a large number of sympathizing friends. If the advocates of the free and unlimited coinage of silver conld furnish a single instance of the suc cess of such a policy, it would be worth more to their cause than all of their abundant and indefinite talking upon the subject. For a few days after Bryan's nomination the papers were filled with gossip about him. whereas there is now but little of it. This implies that there wasn't much of him to begin with, and so the sub ject was soon exhausted. When even a radical free silver paper like the Denver News insists thatit would require almost a direct interposition ot Providence" to se cure the election of Bryan on account of the confusion in the electoral college, it will be seen that the situ ation is rapidly reaching the weep ing stage for the popocrats. Jour nal. France has on her hands four hundred and thirty-four and one- third millions of legal tender silver coined at the ratio of 15X to 1. It is consequently more over-valued than is American silver. While France has been able to keep all this silver at gold par by refusing to add to the quantity, her mints having been closed to that metal for many years, she seems to be de sirous to get rid ot a little of what she has. All the 2 and 1 tranc pieces coined prior to "1866 are being demonetized. The gov ernment will take them back but onlv at their intrinsic value about half what the government issued them at. This action is creating much indignation, but the govern ment insists the holders must stand the loss. The United States has been more just or generous. It re deemed the trade dollars in legal tender silver dollars, though the former which were coined tor the benefit of the silver mine owners. were worm at xne time only io or SO cents,- and never had been guar anteed bv the government as the silver bune. dollars are.
