Entered at the NorthPlatte (Nebraska) postoffice as second-class matter. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1896. The Review says Chas. Kelsy, of Rock Springs, Wyo., will open a bank in Hersliey some time after the 15th inst. E. F. Seeberg-er spent part of the week at Hershey superintending the loading and shipping of a num ber of cars of grain. J. C. Fleharty, foreman of the Ogalalla jSews, is transacting business in town to-day and made this office a pleasant call. Mrs. AVm. Edis, living south of the river, has been dangerously ill for a -week or two past. Dr. Don aldson was called to see her late last evening. Jim McKee is making arrange ments to visit Ohio, and if he finds conditions favorable may remain in that state for a number of months. Mrs. Marcus "White, who had been the guest of her nephew H. S. "White for several weeks, left for the Pacific coast Wednesday night. Mrs. J. I. Minor expects to leave about the first of December for the east and all who desire to order work from her should call at once. The ladies of the irrigation fair are making arrangements to hold an entertainment in the near future, the proceeds of which will be devoted to paying the balance due on the woman's building. Bert Haddock, of McPherson county, had a hearing before the local board of insanity Wednesdaj and adjudged to be insane. He will be kept in this city until accommo dations for him can be secured at the Norfolk asylum. D. H. Amsbary, who has been in town for several weeks, leaves in a few days for Iowa on business connected with his position of audi tor for the American "Waterworks Company. Mr. Amsbary hopes to visit North Platte friends again before his locks turn gray. Mayor Baker has appointed the following gentlemen as dele gates to the state irrigation con vention at Lexington next week: "W. I. Park, E. F. Seeberger, Isaac Dillon, John Bratt, M. C. Lindsay. C. P. Ross, H. S. White, H. W. Hill, T. C. Patterson and J. A. Goodman. Best line of gloves and- mittens in town at The Wilcox Dept. Store. Alfalfa seed is selling in the local market at three dollars pei bushel. This is a rather low price, yet as the yield this season was from three to six bushels per acre, the revenue derived therefrom is greater than that secured from an-f acre of corn. The acreage of alfalfa in the Platte valley will be largely increased next year. Hans Gertler, who is known by almost every man in Lincoln coun ty, has concluded to retire from business in this city and will re move to his farm in Gage county early next spring, where he will live in ease. Mr. Gertler has lived in Lincoln county for twenty-five years and during all that time we do not think he has made an enemy. The removal of himself and wife from North Platte will be greatly regretted. Win. Coleman has severed his connection with the North Platte water company and is succeeded by Mr. Cuningham, late of Sioux Falls, -S. D., who arrived in the city last night. Mr. Coleman has not. we believe, fully decided where he will locate. He has proven a popular .superintendent and his friends re gret to have him leave North Platte. Mr. Cunningham has been an em ploye of the company owning the local plant for a number of years and is therefore well qualified to take charge of the North Platte plant. He will move his family to this city as soon as he can make the necessary arrangements. H. J. Hanson, living north of the river met with a rather serious accident yesterday afternoon. He was coming to town for lumber with two teams, driving one and leading the other. When crossing the tracks at Locust street an engine "popped" and the rear team sprang foreward striking Mr. Han son on the head and back with their front feet. He was knocked from the wagon and sustained some very severe bruises and cuts on the head and shoulders. The trout team started to run with the two rear horses hanging astride the ..hind axle of the wagon, but the frightened animals were cauffht be- Jore "! n a rt far. One of the horses was badly cut on the legs. It was a peculiar accident and might have resulted much more disastrously, The local banks are now pay ing out gold on demand, a . condition that. has not existed for over a year past. i Gus Hamer, of Buchanan, was in town yesterday shaking hands with friends and transacting busi ness. A good farm, one under ditch preferred, is wanted by a renter. Any one one having such will please leave word at this office. Local merchants report a very fair trade this fall, and best of all the volume of business is increas ing as the season progresses. This office will need coal before the expiration of another week. Delinquent subscribers will please govern themselves accordingly. An invitation skating party under the management of Miss Cora Crick was given at the opera house Wednesday evening. There were about thirty present. The O. R. C. held its regular meeting in this city yesterday after noon. Several members fronrGrand Island were present, and one or two members from the Fourth district. E. B. Warner, Dentist, office in Hinman block, Spruce st. upstairs. Judge Grimes leaves Sunday for the west part of the state, where he will hold district court in several of the counties. He will be accompanied as usual by court re porter Scharmann. Alex Stewart has purchased the Beyerle place on White Horse creek and will convert it into a stock farm. He has a nice herd of cattle which he will place thereon in charge of his uncle, Mr. Beyers. Wild geese and ducks are not as plentiful in this section this fall as usual. The supposition is that the to wis have better feeding ground lsewhere. Some hunters think geese will come in later in the sea son. - -Dr. Bedell was delayed in Den ver several days longer than he ex pected and did not arrive here until yesterday morning. He will re main in the city a few days and then return to Denver to complete some work on hand and then come back to North Platte and remain several weeks. Smoke Wright's Royal Sports and Havana Rose 5-cent cijrar. Several thousand dozen of eggs have been shipped into North Platte from Gothenburg, Cozad and other points during the past month, evidence that the egg crop in Lincoln ounty is not sufficient to supply the local demand. The raising of poultry is a branch of farming that is somewhat neglected by Lincoln county farmers. Up to this time it is not definite ly known whether the constitutional amendments have carried. If they require a majority of all votes cast at the election they have' been de feated, but if the court decides that a majority of the votes cast for the amendments rules, then they have carried. Judge Neville, therefore, does not at this time know whether he has been elected judge of the su preme court,or whether he is just a plain everT day lawyer. WE HAVE A verry pretty line of Novelties in Sterling and snver jriate. Also handsome China pieces. Would be pleased to have you call. CLINTON, The Jeweler and Optician. W. J. Roche positively declines to give his street concert on Thanksgiving day, and another day will be selected. Mr. Roche is not attempting to abrogate his contract but he expects to eat turkey on Thanksgiving day with friends and would not be in condition to fulfill his contract with the best results on that day. The organ which Mr. Roche will turn has not yet arrived, so the date of the concert cannot be definitely announced It will, how ever, be held on a Saturday. Underwear all kinds at The Wilcox Dept. Store, Yesterday Marshal Morgan served notice on the local . Union Pacific officials to suspend work on the U. P. ice house. The notice was served on the ground that the proposed building obstructs Elm street at the point where it crosses the railroad track, and that the street could not be thus obstructed without permission from the city council. Supt. Park was out of the city at the time the notice was served, and awaiting his return Foreman McCart ordered a suspen sion of work on the building. The matter will be considered at the meeting of the council this evening. Is all right, but the X dollar bill will buy s more Furniture now than ever before. - " We have an elegant line of PICTURE AND ROOM MOULDING.

Pitt is wanted on the charge of as saulting Ralph Vinson. Pitt, how ever, succeeded in getting out of the officer's reach. D. A.

It is becoming quite tame and seems to enjoy it warm quarters. The bar docket of the Novem ber term of district court, which is being issued from The Tribune press, shows that there are 194 cases to come up for trial.

The suit involving a recovery of funds due from Perkins county to Keith county was filed in the su preme court Tuesday. Perkins county was originally a par of Keith county and when the terri tory was divided and a settlement made it was found that Perkins county owed Keith county 52,504.

Ralph Vinson was viciously as saulted Tuesday afternoon by John Pitt and a fellow named McDonald, and suffered many bruises. AccoriL ing to Vinson's story the assault was made because he refused to be come a party to a plan to rob Guy Laing's saloon and squealed" on Pitt' and his partners. Pitt suc ceeded in making his escape be fore the officers appeared. McDon aid was arrested, but later released on his own recognizance. Hugh Jackson who is confined in the. jail on the charge of holding up John Byerley, made a vicious attack on deputy sheriff Keliher Wednesday. Keliher opened the cell door to receive a platter from Jackson when the latter grabbed him bv the arm and struck at him with a table fork. Jackson suc ceeded in getting out of the cell. Keliher after a scuffle succeeded in securing Jackson and locked him up. The prisoner's idea was to get the deputy sheriff confused and then make a bold dash for lib erty.

The reception tendered Rev. Verner at the Presbyterian parson age last evening was a most hearty and cordial one, and gave evidence, of the popularity the reverend gen tleman has already won from his congregation. The attendance was fully 150, the crowd filling about all the available space in the house. The attendants were largely mem bers of the Presbyterian congrega tion, though there were a tew others present, among the latter being Reverends "Suavely, Beecher and Foulk. As entertaining features Miss Lizzie Burke rendered two piano solos, and Miss Singleton two vocal solos, both of which -vere well received.
