Early in July Cashier W. F. Lawson
of the First National Bank , who has
been connected with the bank in one
capacity or another since its establish

move to Covina , Los Angeles county ,
\ Calif. Mr. Lawson. Jiopes to get his
affairs in shape to enable him and family
to start for their new homo in California
about the 10th proximo.
Cashier Lawson's character and abili
ties have not only placed him at the
active head of the greatest financial in
stitution in Southwestern Nebraska , but
have endeared him to a wide circle of
admiring and trusting friends. His
coining departure will bo regretted by
no one more keenly than by THB TKIIIUXK
publisher.
No formal action has yet been taken
rV by the board of directors , but the suc
cession of Ass't Cashier Pennell to , the
cashierehip is practically certain ; also
Book-keeper Louis Thorgrimson's ad
vancement to ass't cashier and cage
work. No selection has been made for
the book-keepership , but the matter is
now under consideration.
In Californian Mr. Lawson will con
tinue with Mr. Hocknell in business ,
Mr. Hocknell having large fruit and
other interests there.
A Superb Gift.
This morning , Cashier W. F. Lawson
of the First National bnnk , who will in
a week or two retire from the bank and
remove to California , was superbly re
membered by the officers of the bank in
a farewell gift of cut glass , aiich , hand
some and elegant gift , embracing a
water set of three pieces , berry and
finger bowls , set of sherbet glasses , olive
and jelly dishes , oil bottle and spoon
tray. It is a happy expression of the
high regard in which Cashier Lawson
has always stood in the First National ,
with the directors , officers and employes
and the public as well.
A Prominent Feature.

ered with garlands o f flowers. The

ritual of the order and were conducted
by Brothers Hardcastle , Hall and Green.

Are Not "Suckers. "
Dr. C. L. Fahnestock's peculiar con
duct , nights , of late , has been a source
of some curiosity to his neighbors and
friends not to say , some apprehension.
But all suspicion has been happily al
layed. It seems that back in Illinois
the fish-worms have an accommodating
tiabit of coming to the surface , nights ,
to enjoy the moonlight and the dewey
eve , and are promptly swiped by the
iisherinen , for bait on the morrow. The
doctor has been producing a little moon
light with a lantern to fool the local
angle-worms out to surrender themselves ,
forgetting that he had removed from
"Suckerdom. "
A Premature Alarm.
The curfew whistle , Tuesday evening ,
was premature and was mistaken by the
department and populace for a fire alarm ,
[ t was not intended that the alarm
should be given until the public had
been given due notice in the city press.
Tuesday evening's alarm was sounded
through a misunderstanding. It is the
purpose of the city authorities to enforce
the curfew ordinance , however , and 9:30
p. m. is the time when the ordinance
3ecomes effective. Children found on
the streets after that time will be arrest
ed and fined as provided in the ordi
nance now in force.

Two recent suggestions of THE
TRIBUNE have called forth favorable
comment :
First , its plea for the protection and
preservation of the birds.
Second , its suggestion as to the advis
ability of having a Fraternal Memorial
day , next year , instead of separate days
by the several orders that now observe
the day.
It is pitiful to hear some of the stories
of the cruel we might say savage de
struction of birds in and about the city.
We hope to help form a sentiment among
adults and children which will make
such cruelties impossible. A society for
the purpose might not be amiss.
As to the Fraternal Memorial sugges
tion , it will bear remembering and can
be worked out successfully.

and swiftly. An orchestra added to the
pleasure of the evening and furnished in
spiration for the devotees of Terpsichore.
Refreshments were served on small
tables and constituted an appreciated
feature of the social. Punch was served
during the evening from a booth presided
over by G. H. James , Sup't Campbell's
chef.-
Altogether the social was true to the
traditions of No. 135.
