company with 3Irs. W. D. Waldo andhad
bees to the fair ground to drive on the
track. On coming out Mrs. Waldo got
oat of the buggy to close the gate, when
the horse started at a moderate pace, Miss
Walsh being unable to control him, which
aeon developed into a run. Miss Walsh
was thrown to the ground with great vio

yet fully determined. After"running

Among the minor improvements
made this week the scribe notices the
new awning at the Thoelecke block and
a rear addition to Smith Clarke's resi
dence. A new sidewalk on the west side of
Spruce in front of Buc'rworth, BJxler &
Kelty's office would be an improvement
greatly desired. The old tetcer-totterish
affair is a disgrace to the city.
Monday was one of the busiest days
at the government land office experienced
for some time. The incumbents are anx
ious for the newly appointed officers to
qualify and get ready for work. It will
be found no boy's play.
Mr. Calhoun on Monday left at this
office a turnip sowed on the 4th day of
August which measured seven inches in
diameter. It was raised on his place on
the north side, and was a pretty good
sample for less than eighty daj's growth.

No regular meetings have been held,
but candidates have made a thorough
canvass of the county, interviewing the
voters in person. The still hunt is gen
erally the most effective and gets in its
work without blow or bluster, besides
giving the people a better opportunity to
become acquainted with those who ask
their votes. The campaign has been con
ducted in a very sociable manner.
A gentleman and lady were in town
this week working up the paper bag ad
vertising scheme and strange to say se
cured quite a number of patrons. The
Tribuxe office did the printing and
charged a good round price, which was
some benefit, but we doubt if business
men.receive much from that way of ad
vertising. The Toung People's Society, organ

The First National Bank at Kearney
has adopted a scheme to which the atten

fully invited. A larce number of safety
deposit boxes have lean placed
in the fire-proof vault. Each box is fur
nished with two kevs, and the renter of
the box cannot onen ii. without the inser
tion of a kev owned by the bank, nor can
the officers of the bank open the box
without the key in the possession of the
renter. The boxes are about two feet
deep, made of chilled steel and the locks
of Tale make. Nearly every body has
valuable papers, and sometimes jewelry,
diamonds, &c, and desires a safe place to
keep them. In the case above cited the
boxes rent for $ 2.50 per year, a very reas
onable sum.

The Knights of Labor of this city
are making preparations for a ball to be

it is fair to predict the hop will be large
ly attended and prove a success socially
and -financially.

Much complaint is expressed br set
tlers in the southern part of the county at
the irregularity of the mail service on the
star routes m that vicinity. Just where
the fault lies is not known but it is asser
ted that it frequently takes from three to
four weeks to get a letter from the rail
road either north or south. An inspector
should give this matter an investigation
and see if matters cannot be remedied.
A pleasant little party of young folks
was held at the residence of J. D. beamau
last Saturday evening, the occasion being
the tlurteenth anniversary of Master
Frank Seaman's birth, being given by the
young gentleman to celebrate the event
Among those present were Misses
Majrgie Kocken, Daisy Cruzen, Leora
Stevens, Fannie and Ida Brown, Belle
Adamson and Clara Ruth, and Masters
Curtis Hinman, Frank Ormsby, Perry
Jackson, Arthur and Walter Hoagland.
It is needless to say Frank did the honors
of host in a manner that made all of the
people feel at home and they wilL long
remember the pleasant time had on that
occasion.
. Considerable complaint is made
at the manner in which the grader, under
direction of the county commissioners, is
tearing up the roads on the south side.
Places that never were bad, it is alleged,
are made almost impassable. The ma
chine is probably a good thing although
expensive, and the board should use
some discretion in its use. The expense
of operation is twenty-five dollars per
day and it strikes the" average tax-payer
that it should not be used where work is
not required. There are no doubt many
places on the bottom where it can be used
advantageously, but when those places
are made passable some deference should
be given to the condition of the county
treasury. In- the pfesent shape of our
county finances economy is suggested and
demanded by the people. We hope the
board will act on this suggestion and
avoid all useless expenditure of the peo
ple's money.
A number of those interested in socie

Master John Baker, who has been with
Mr. Cody's Wild West Show the past year
and a half, came in from St Louis Sun

our readers know, is the champion boy
rifle shot of the world, the many medals
worn on his person attesting his remarka
ble skill. Traveling seems to agree with
him as he is looking splendid.
Vote for the Bridge.
In voting on the bridge bond proposi
tion, be sure that your ballots read for is-
ng bonds. Most of the tickets are
printed in the affirmative, but some dis
tributed in the country by candidates who

by an apparent endorsement of the. meas
ure, are printed with a blank "sace for
writing in either the word for or against
Where these ballots are used, this should
be filled in all cases by the word "for," as
to vote blank is almost equivalent to vo
ting in the negative.
The Walk-Out Monday.
Mr. Shannon has received notice by
telegraph that his commission as receiver
of the land office was signed and for
warded on the 28th, the bond having been
approved. Although not positively
known, it is presumed Mr. Neville's bond
has been approved and commission is
sued, and that they will both arrive here
together, probably to-day or to-morrow.
In that case the new officers will take
possession Monday and the old ones walk
out It is expected that the office will
be moved to the Keith opera house block,
where all those doing business before the
land office are anxious to locate.
Later. The commissions arrived this
morning.
Death of EL N. Searle.
Edward N. Searle, formerly a resident
of this city, died at the Nebraska insane
asylum near Lincoln on Tuesday of this
week, in the thirty-sixth year of his age,
after suffering for over three years from
the effects of injuries received in a rail
road accident on the Northern Pacfic road.
Mr. Searle was formerly a conductor on
the Union Pacific and was one of the
early settlers of this city, where he. was.
highly esteemed. His injuries produced
mental derangement and it was found
necessary to send him to the asylum in
hopes that skillful treatmentthare might
restore his reason. For a time there was
such improvement that he was discharged
with the hope of soon regaining his full
mental strength. But he soon suffered a
relapse and hi3 friends were reluctantlv
compelled to give up all hope. For two
years he had been gradually failing, and
for the past six months death was looked
for at anj' moment About six weeks
ago the writer saw him at the asylum and
when spoken to for one brief moment
there was an apparent return of rational
thought, but it instant vanished and his
mind began to wander. Poor Ed, he has
gone, but his old comrades aud friends
will always cnerisn nis memory with the
kindest feelings. He was a member of
the Masonic order and his remains were
buried on Thursday of this week by
by Platte Valley Lod'ge A. F. & A M. of
this city. His life was. insured in a Mason
ic mutual society tor hve thousand dollars
and the premiums had been paid during
the past three years alternately by the
Lodge in this city and in Grand Island,
but only recenth a lapse of three da's
was unfortunately allowed to take place
and the society took advantage of this to
cancel ihe policy, demanding a certificate
of gooc? health before renewal. This of
course could not be given, for he was
practically dead at the time. Efforts will
be made with fair prospects of success to
secure this sum for the benefit of the
widow and three orphan children.

Fred Fulmer while hunting Monda
near the junction of the North and South
rivers saw an animal which his excited
imagination at first pictured to be a young
wildcat or possibly a small mountain iioa.
The beast was devouring a bird wliich it
had recently killed, and when Fred broke
in on its peaceful meal stood up on its
hind legs with one paw resting on the
bird and the other extended towards Fred
in a manner as much as to say "shake."
This was not in accordance with Fred's
program, and he sent a volley of goose
shot into the animal which speedily put
an end to its earthly pilgrimage. It was
a peculiar animal, evidently not common
in these parts. Being brought to town it
took several scientists to discover its true
genus. Evidently belonging to the wea
sel family, it differed from that well
known animal in size and color. It was
about twelve inches long and very slim,
with a rich golden brown coat. It proved
to be a golden ferret, and is supposed to
have escaped from some one traveling
through the country.
Several counties have been endeavor
ing to issue bonds for the construction of
court houses and jails, but there has been
a question as to whether these were
works of internal improvement contem
plated by the law for the building of
which bonds may be issued. A case be
ing brought to test the matter, the su
preme court this week decided bonds is
sued for such purposes invalid. By this
decision Lancaster county has her court
house bonds nipped in the bud, Lincoln
county jail bonds faring the same fate.
Keith county was also trying to issue
court house and jail bonds, but further
efforts in that line are now rendered un-
. -
necessary. In our own county the oonas
were prepared more than a year ago, but
never negotiated, although parties at one
time offered to take one-half of them in
Vote For Bridge Bonds.
By asking your vote3 in favor of the
above I wiah to prove as far as in my
power that it is to the public interest and
if I am able to clear up this doubt then
you can act and work in good faith. If
you wish the greatest of prosperity, build
up the country, and this can be done
speedily having close by good direct roads
to every quarter, east west, north and
south. I will not take into consideration
the value of the country further north
than the foot of the bluffs and from Gan
nct to the Birdwood. We have in this
strip of country several thousand tons of
hay that could and would be marketed if
the road to the railroad station was made
nearer by eight miles on the round trip.
If a market could not be found here it
could and would be baled and shipped
west- and the money be brought here and
spent amongst us. One year's product
alone from here would more than pay
for the bridge. Heretofore we have been
sending money away for supplies, con
sider how much it will be to put a stop to
this by bringing money here for supplies
instead of sending it away. The mere
cost of the bridge is a mere trifle taking
into consideration the revenue that must
be derived by building up your country
by making close and convenient roads.
Good and direct roads bring to you all
cheaper supplies. This is an undisputa-
ble fact and why hesitate in making your
roads shorter to all parts of the county.
It gives encouragement to farmers to buy
up the land, put it under actual and im
mediale cultivation and improvement. In
doing this you diminish taxes and this is
the only thing that will diminish them.
Then'would it not be the interest of every
man in the county to assist and have the
bridge built and the country developed.
There can certainly be no reasonable ar
gument used against the pushing forward
of this work. There is also ground
enough in this space mentioned to pro
vide" North Platte with all the provision
necessary for consumption. Twenty
thousand bushels of grain can be raised
on the foot of the bluffs from Gannett to
the Birdwood. The land all through
from Gannett to Birdwood has been
proven valuable for farming, and grass

Eev.rDr. John McNamara Suddenly
OaUed to His Last-Beet.
Our people were pained to learn on
Saturday last about noon that Kev. Dr.
McNamara had bees stricken with paraly
sis and could live but a few hours. The
Doctor came down town about 9 o'clock
feeling auite well. After going to the
postofflce and receiving the congratula
tions of. several parties on the street on
his Improved appearance, having just re
turned from Omaha where he had been
for medical treatment he went to the of-
flee of Lester Eells to attend to business
connected with the church. After hav
ing been there a short time he began to
talk in a hesitating, incoherent manner,
and Mr. Eells immediately noticed that
he was very sick. Dr. Clark was sum
moned as quick as possible and the seri
ous nature of the attack was at once ap
parent The sufferer was conveyed to his
home In an Insensible condition about 11
o'clock and never spoke afterwards, al
though he was able for a short time to
manifest intelligence. His last breath
was drawn about 6 o'clock and a good
man closed his earthly work loved and
mourned by our whole people.
John McNamara was born in Ireland in
1821, and came to this country when
scarcely more than an Infant He was
taken into the family of Dr. Muhnenburg
of New York City, who regarded him as
a son. At an early age he evinced a de
sire to study, and was in the habit of
reading every book to which he could
obtain access. In order to foster this de
sire, Dr. Mahneabarg seat him to St
Paul's Seminary at Flushing, L. I., where
he attained the greater part of his secular
education. From the time his ideas first
began to mature and shape themselves
definitely in his brain he took a deep in
terest in religious matters. When com
paratively a young man he was ordained
as an Episcopal clergyman. He was
progressive in his ideas, and was anxious
to bear the brunt of the battle. He ac
cordingly chose a missionary life, and
soon after his ordination was located in
Geneva Lake, Wis., in 1850, but soon after
went to St Joe, Mo., as missionary in that
city and adjacent parts. Returning to
Wisconsin for a brief period, 1856 found
him in Kansas as a missionary and an ar
dent worker in the cause of freedom.
His work in different portions of that
state in building up churches, aud the re
sult of his devout policy made a deep
impression upon the regions where he
was located. He afterward moved to
Wisconsin, settling at Kenosha, where he
was living at the outbreak of the war.
Again his progressive views asserted
themselves and he joined the First Wis
consin infantry as chaplain and started
for the front where he thought he could
do the most good for God and humanity.
After the war he was parish clergyman at
.LaUrosse and Whitewater, also doing mis
sionary work.
In lcb9 he came to Nebraska, being lo- I
cated at Nebraska City as President of
Nebraska College, a church institution,
remaining six years, when he was called
by Dr. Muhnenburg to New York to
take charge of St Johnland Home for
children and aged people and also acted
as assistant chaplain of St Luke's Hospi
tal. N. Y. After Dr. 3Iuhnenburg's death
he was again called to take charge of Ne
braska College where he served until as
signed to this parish a little over a year
ago, and there is no place that will regret
his loss more. Dr. McNamara was an
earnest preacher and at times was exceed
ingly eloquent He was a warm friend,
a christian gentleman and a maa of the
greatest of charity for the failings of
others. His. many brilliaat aad social
Sualities made him a wdrersal favorite
1 society, and "daring the war he is said
to have been the most popular man i& the
regiment He was almost the first man
ia the church to tak a bold staod in fa
vor or the abolition 01 slavery. He dm
not believe in the institution of slavery
and fought it in the pulpit and out Some
time previous to John Brown's attempt to
capture Harper's Ferry he wrote a book
on slavery which at the time created
wide-spread attention. His work received
much adverse criticism from the church
for awhile, but the reaction soon set in
and the great truths he expressed were
accepted for what they were worth and
the book was highly esteemed.
Dr. MciN amara's health had been grad
ually failing for a year or more. Some
months since he had. a slight attack of
paralysis, which seemed lo affect his eyes,
but he was able to continue his work.
About three weeks ago this affection be
came so bad that he decided to go to
Omaha for treatment and had just re
turned from that city the day before his
death, having experienced only slight re
let and it was his intention to return
Sunday evening for continued treatment
Hcseemed to have a premonition that he
would not live many months, but it was
evident he did not expect death immedi

the morning of the fatal "day. He was
prepared however as few men are and
lad no fears of the future, lhe funeral
services were conducted in the church in
this city by "Rev. Dr. Oliver of Kearney.
Kev. Dr. Dougherty and Uanon ratterson
of Omaha, the funeral being preached by
