Sunday night, Sept. 20th, a girl. All
three are doing well.
The srn was directly over the equa

now of nearly equal length.
Prairie chickens are now ripe and
ready to pick and candidates are in the
'same condition, the latter apparently be
ing the largest crop. j
Our merchants have adopted the mot- j
ropolitan style of displaying goods on the
sidewalk. The displays attract much at
tention 2 ad we hope trade.
The crosswalks recently torn up for
the purpose of grading the streets have
been replaced in good shape and we are
now ready for rainy weather.
-Prank "Welter, of O'Fallons, lost his
G. A. R. bjulge last Saturday night some

same will please leave it with 3Iajor
Woodhurst at the depot.
We saw a Hubbard squash at Jlr.
Cash's market that weighs 4G) pounds.
It was raised by Mr. Shaw on the Cal
houn place north of North river. "We
have seen larger squashes, but this is the
largest Hubbard we have heard of.
"We are requested to announce that
services will be held in the Presbyterian
church to-jnorrow morning at the usual

meeting at Unitarian Hall, there will be
no evening services.
J. H. Hassinger the popular clerk at
Brown's recently moved on to his home
stead near Dorp in Logan county, where
he also has a fine timber claim. That's
about the way it goes nearly all our
ctty folks will soon become grangers.
This onice is indebted to Gus Hess of
Foley's store for several samples of the larg
est onions we have seen this season. They
were raised by J. ."W. Shurvington who
lives in range 23 down near the mouth
of Fox Creek. He brought in a wagon
load or more.
Several of our young men are fedk
ing of getting bicycles, believing now that
our streets are graded it will be a compar
ative easy mode of locomotion. The
-Ttctcxe suggests the formation of a
club. As altealthtul exercise 'tho wheel
Is preferable to the roller skate.
"When symptoms of malaria appear
in any 'form, take AVer's Ague Cure af
once, to prevent the development of the
disease, and continue until health is
restored, as it surely will be by the use
of this remedy. A cure is warranted in
every jnstance.
It's pretty hard to keep track of Rus
sell "Watts these days, but about this time
of the year he is out picking up cattle for
shipment to his different feeding yards.
In the Culbertson Reveille of last week
we notice the following: "Russell "Watts
shipped fifteen cars of feeding cattle to
DeTYitt on Friday afternoon." j
Union Pacific surveyors were engaged
this week laying off a town site at Gannet
siding five miles east of town. Our
reporter did not learn positively, but it is
believed the town will be called Gannet. j
It is a good point for a station, the ground ;
being high, and being so easy of "access
by trains at almost any hour of the day
will be a favorite suburb of this metro
polis. The race at the fair ground Thursday
afternoon was quite a spirited affair,
although not many were present to wit
ness the sport. It was a quarter mile
dash between horses owned by 3Ir. Burke
and C. A. Dillon. Burke's horse crossed
the score in advance, but being determined
not to call it a finish he threw the rider
and made a livelv dash for town.
A new social club bearing the title of
the Eureka Pleasant Pastimes has recently
been organized in the city, the first hop

Under the new time table No. 1 will leave
Omaha'some time in the morning reach
ing this city, in-time for supper and No. "o
will arrive' in the morning about the
time No. 1 now comes in. It is also
rumored there will be a fast west-bound
freight carrying the overland emigrant
passengers, making about twenty-four
miles an hour. This will be a relief to
the now overloaded express trains, which
find it difficult to make time with fourteen
or fifteen cars.
The county commissioners met in
called session Thursday chiefly to con
sider the petition for the establishment of
anew precinct in the northwest part of
the county, and also to transact other
business. All that part of the county
west of Hall precinct and north of the
North Platte river was set off as a voting
precinct and called Birdwood. Quite a
number of bills were allowed and the
question of submitting a bond proposition
to vote bonds for a bridge across the
river near this city was discussed.
f.e meeting Friday the proposition
ig been drawn up by the county at
iy was signed and ordered published,
which the beard adjourned.

Travel on the Union Pacific is much
heavier than last year at this time, and has
been during the entire season. After try
ing the new competing lines, the travel
ing public has learned that the U. P. is
the best and most expeditious overland
route.
The tenacity v ith which people abide
by their early faith in Ayer's Sarsaparilla
can only be explained by the fact that it
is the best blood medicine ever used,
and it is not appoached in excellence
by any new candidate for public favor.
The first annual fair of the Republi

The Democratic brethern of Lincoln
county are "urgently requested" to meet
at Keith's Opera House next Thursday
afternoon for the purpose of placing in
nomination a ticket for county officers.
The primaries are recommended to take
place to-day.
The Republican primary election
for choosing delegates to the county con
vention takes place in this city this after
noon. There is likely to be a number of
tickets in the field from which voters will
have an opportunity to choose good men.
From present indications the contest will
be conducted in a friendly manner
as becomes brethren who dwell together
in unity.
The shipment of cattle from Ogallala
this year has not been as heavy as in for
mer times and- this is probably the last
year any considerable number from the
trail will be driven there, as the great
Texas trail has practically been abandoned
or moved westward. A train man informs
us that about three thousand head, how
ever, were loaded at the old cowboy me
tropolis this week.
The days have been quite smoky for
a week or so past, which some have
attributed to prairie fires, but this we can
assure our readers is a mistake; it Is
nothing but the fine Indian summer
customary on the plains at this season of
the year. So far there have been no
prairie fires and are nof likely to-be'for
some time, the grass being unusually
fresh and green. "
A number of cattle have been shot
lately whether by accident or intention
ally this deponent says not Last week
Mr. McDonald had a fine animal killed
in his pasture, and this week Geo. Russell
had a cow badly wounded with a charge
of shot. It is provoking to have cattle
break into your yard, but to shoot them is
not the remedy. They can be taken up
and the the owner required to pay the
damasre.
Our Public Schools.
Last week we spoke of the rules of the
school. They have been drawn up and
adopted by the board. There is nothing
in them that can be offensive to any one
who would wish to have a well regulated
school, hence the- will be strictly en
forced. A copy will be sent to each home
where it should be read carefully and
kept for reference. Special attention is
called to the tardiness,absence, and
standing required by the pnpils. In fact
all should be carefully studied. The
teacher has duties to perform also. No
tice these : and, if your child has been
disciplined, turn to the authority and
duty given him in the rules. The teach
ers, then, have authorities to whom they
are amenable, as well as the pupils are
held within proper bounds by the teacher.
Teachers as well as pupils will be ex
pected to perform their duties. Good re
sults in a school can be reached only when
everybody concerned attends properly to
his own business.
The principal is required to keep -office
hours." He has no office, hence he will
keep school-room hours. He will be
found in the room occupied by the High
school each evening until five o'clock. As
soon as the matter can be collected he will
keep a full record of all pupils in the
various schools. This will include the
scholarship, deportment, attendance, time
of entry, etc. Any person wishing infor
mation concerning the schools, or a pa
tron who may wish to communicate per
sonally with the Principal on any point
is respectfully requested to call at the
above named hour and he will receive
what he desires, cheerfully, if it can be
given.
"We already spoke of a needed library
to teach literature properly. The pupils
of the High school were asked to think of
some way in which this can be done. The
girls held a meeting one evening this
week, at which they determined to meet
to-day (Saturday) and take some defi
nite steps in the matter. This action is to
ba hichly commended. Other efforts will
also be made and it is to be hoped that all
who feel an interest in the schools and in
the name and welfare of our city general
ly, will lend a helping hand in this matter.
"With the exception of drawing and mu
sic, courses in the various branches have
been prepared. The former will be
arranged as soon as good works can be
adopted.
Permanent programs will now be made
and the work will be pursued regularly.
Call and inspect the work when you
are at leisure. H. "W. Alvwdte.

Illinois and J. E. Hontry.-Prgsident of the

Miss Anna Hawkins of Lincoln, a
sister ot City Clerk Hawkins, is visiUng
friends in the city. Miss Hawkins having
at one time been a resident of this city
she is well known by many of our peo
ple who are pleased to renew her acquain
tance. Frank "Wilson for several years a clerk
in the freight office has resigned his posi
tion lor a short time, believing that out
door work will agree better with his
health. His many friends wish he may
soon be restored to that vigor wliich this
bracing atmosphere seldom fails to produce.
The North. Platte Bridge.
By a notice elsewhere it will be seen
the commissioners have decided to sub
mit the question of voting bonds to
build a bridge across the North Platte
river at the approaching general election.
This is a scheme The Tricot: has al
ways advocated, and thought and still
thinks the question should have been sub
mitted at a special election some time
ago when it would not have been an'taco
nized bv other interests and when everv
vote cast would have been upon the sub
ject The necessity of such a bridge is
too apparent to need special argument in
its favor. The railroad bridge which has
been the only means of crossing the river
since the settlement of the country, aside
from the great danger to life and property,
is not in the right location, and costs near
ly as much in the shape of rent as if
owned by the county. Buv this is not
the great objection. Every team that
crosses is in danger of passing trains, es
pecially in the night; so much so that it
frequently happens that persons living on
the opposite side will not remain in town
after dark, even though it be a matter of
considerable importance that detains
them. As the. time for discussion is short
we hope the friends of the measure will
get down to business and see that the in
different voter does not cast a negative
vote by leaving both "for" and "against"
on the ticket

Petition for a New Precinct.
The citizens of O'Fallons precinct north
of North Platte river have petitioned the
commissioners for the establishment of a
voting precinct out of that territory, being
about seventeen miles square, and asked
that it be done on or before the 25th icst,
probably to avoid being held for the
bridge bonds proved to be voted in that
precinct to-day, in case they earn. To
this of course the board, notbeing in ses
sion, could pay no attention.
The petition was filed on the
23d and is signed by the following per
sons : "Wm. Dikeman, M. C. Perkins, C. F.
Peterson. Bird J. Proctor, - John Nelson.
Clement K. Rhoads, David Potter, Joseph

Unusual care should be exercised
in regara to prairie nres tnis season.
There has been a heaw growth of grass,
and fires will be exceedingly hard to
control when once started. In times past
fires have been very destructive not only
in the loss of winter range but in the
destruction of pronertv and stock, and
now that the prairie is covered with
settlers are likely to be much more so.
Each settler should be well protected with
wide fire guards of broke ground and
exercise vigilance that no fire be started
until such time
prepared to control it

Senator Manderson who is a member of
the Committee on Territories, has just
returned from Utah. He thinks that the
Mormons hate the National Government
and chafe at the restrictions of the
country's laws and the presence of Federal !
onicials as an unholv interference and a
barbaric invasion. The spirit of sedition,
he says, is so deep-seated that no one can
contemplate the situation without wonder
ing that it has not long since broken out
in open rebellion. He believes that there
must be legislat: n enacted of the most
heroic and vigorous character to crush out
the "hydra-headed monster."
