The city schools are progressing finely under the skillful direction of Prof. All wine. Sam Jones the revivalist will visit North Platte and begin his missionary efforts on the Sunday duck hunters. The "Fashion" sample room had a large number of bar practitioners at the opening Monday evening. S. J. Rufus is the bigest "bluffer" in-the city and his work on Tuesday wholly confirmed the report. There was very little miseheif perpe trated by the irrepressible small boy on all-hallow-e'en, the police having their optics peeled for the young marauders. The dancing class under the efficient instruction of Miss Anna Hawkins is progressing finely and the pupils are having a most excellent time.

Bodie, once the liviest mining town in California, is in decay. Its population once G,000 is now scarcely 500, and the people, are all trying to get away.

Ayer's Sarsaparilla is a genuine preparation, an unequalled blood puri fier, decidedly superior to all others. Peck's Bad Boy Comedy Co. is play ing m the eastern part ot the state and North Platte is liable to be inflicted with its rendition again. Seeing this comedy once is sufficient to satisfy any one. There are a number of bad holes in the sidewalks around town which it would be well for the street coiamisioner to repair. The city is held liable for damages in case of an accident. The Tribune receives many con gratulations on the success of its weather bureau in its efforts to have the weather suit everybody.

Chains and Seven da3s in the week we receive letters from parties in the east desiring to locate in the west requesting sample copies of Tiie Tribune. This is pretty good evidence that a local newspaper is regarded as a true index of a county's prosperity and in the future as in the past this enterprising journal will continue to assist in building up the county. 'Hundreds of letters from those using Ayer's Hair Vigor attest its value a3 a restorer of gray hair to its natural color. As a stimulent and tonic, preventing and often curing baldness, and cleansing and soothing the scalp, its use cannot be to strongly recommended. A gentleman who travels all over the state says North Platte has better fide walks and more of them than any town of its size in Nebraska. Sidewalks are not the only thing our. town forges ahead on. If all the contemplated brick blocks are erected next j-ear Spruce street from Front to Fifth will present a solid appear ance. The Tribune trusts these improve ments will be made. You may not be aware of it, but it's a fact, that many of tne medicines recom mended for" croup contain either chloroform or opium, and cannot be given to children in the large and frequent doses required, in cases of croup, with am- degree of safety. They are dangerous and should be" avoided at all times. There is one preparation, however, that does not contain a single ingredient that would injure a child, and it is certain and positive cure for croup, and that is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It has cured thousands of cases and can alwavs be depended upon. Sold by Gray "& Co. NEWS ITEMS. Our ideas of French cooking are de rived from the extravagance of restaurants and the salaries of a few chefs who draw more pay than a judge cr a bishop ; but the artisans of Paris would turn up their noses at the soups and coffee to be found on the tables of mam' of our well-to-do citizens. In Iceland women have votes as well as voices in church affairs. The custom has existed there for ages; and is kept up by the Icelanders who have emigrated to this country and settled in Dakota. There are in Dakota, Montana and Manitoba nearly a dozen Icelandic congregations.

Among those on board were Superintendent Dorrance, Assistant Superintendent Deuel, Master Mechanic McConuell, C. F. Newton, superintendent of bridges and buildings and Roadmaster McGregor. ' The special object of inspection was the Lockwood building, which has been purchased by the railroad company. One wing of this building will be added to the Pacific hotel. The remander of the building will be repainted in the spring and used as an annex of the hotel or rented. Sidney Telegraph. There is no longer any doubt but that Denver Junction will have a bridge across the South Platte. Perseverance will win ever' time, and the gentlemen in charge "of the bridge matter have an inexhaustible supply of this very essential article, hence the favorable result. At present it cannot be said whether the bridge can be built this winter or not, as the bids for the building of it will not be opened until . 1 Pa!. . uea-muer ui, ana ii xne weather is favorable work will be commenced at once otherwise it will be commenced as early in the spring as the weather will permit. The advertisement for proposals appears in another column. Denver Junction Gazette. A case of more than ordinary, interest was decided last week at Sutton. A Mrs Percival obtained judgement for $2,59S against John uurran, a saloon keeper for causing the death of her husband, Percival, who was about sixty years of age, took in the saloons ot button on a winter's dav three years ago, and in the evening started for home, three miles distant in a heavy snow storm. He was intoxicated, and no doubt fell down and died from cold. He was found frozen stiff next morning a short distance from his home. This decision carries out one of the wise pro visions of the Slocumb liquor law, which makes all saloon keepera liable for any damages resulting from the sale of intox icating liquors. More complaints have gone up from the patrons of this land office, than from all the other districts in the state combined, so we are informed. It now transpires that error after error has been committed by Register Morris such as will cause the poor homesteaders to loose their lands. Whether willfully or ignorantly done, is not for the people to determine ; they are there all the same. Senator Van Wyck may "rise to explain" till dooms day that "to dead to it feebly, when reference is made to his chances for re-election to the United States Senate by the good will and votes of his party in northwest Nebraska. Valentine Demo crat. ' Capt Delauncey, the great French weather prophet, predicts uncommonly severe earthquakes and cyclones next year. He also predicts the appearance of a great comet to be followed by an epi demic which will carry away thousands, of people. Two railroadcorporations in Manitoba, have caused to be cut from the public dc- main 45,100,000 feet of lumber and. bridge timber, 85,741 railway ties, 15,400,- shingles, 32,035 cords of wood and 20,000' cedar posts, valued in all at $625,000 all against the law. Many strange religions have bean intro-. ducedinto California, among them Hin doo Theosophy and Chinese Confucian ism. The growth of Spiritualism there is so rapid as to challenge attention. A local paper, noting these facts, says It is about time for the Christian churches to wake up. A violent agitation of the Chinese ques tion has broken out in Augusta, Georgia, since the publication of the recent out rages in Washington Territory. For several years the Celestials have been flocking thither. They have prospered in business and now own so many groce ries, wholesale ana retail, that a large number of the citizens have petitioned the city council to take steps to prevent further immigration. The feeling runs, high as the Chinamen have many friend among the lower classes. The British steamer Greyhound, trading locally in Chinese waters, has arrived at Hong Kong, and her second officer reports that a daring attempt was made by ChU neso pirates to capture the vessel. The captain of the Greyhound was inveigled on board a pirate ship and after being plundered was killed. The pirates then attempted to seize the Greyhound, and a desperate fight ensued, in which the other officers and the engineers of the latter vessel were badly wounded. The Greyhound put on a full head of steam and escaped to Hong Kong. The question raised between the board of public lands and buildings and the governor," as to who had the right to make the appointment of a matron at. the in sane asylum has been decided by the su preme court in favor of the governor as the appointing power. The question was by the disagreement between the gov"mol and the board on the appointment of Mrs. MatthewsoH, wife of-tke superintendent, matron, of the. iiwututiOH-,., which re- in. the .appointment of ihsk lady by . n w i imim tmmm i i i iv.t . tit. building is in Coooer institute, entirely new foundation of the fact still remains, skin" is expressing in the. appointment of ita whenr the salary accounts came inuy resolved to test the question by refusing to audit the account of Mrs. 3Iatthewson until they should receive a decision from the supreme court confirming the ap pointment. About the greatest of curiosities in where an enormous granite blooks, and considerable of the brown stone of the walls have been put in without disturbing the occupancy of that benificent institution. The biggest public hall in New Yor,k is completely underground here ; there is a free library and reading room above, and the gratis classes in various useful branches of art are maintained. The lavishness of the expenditures is indicated in the fact that $200,000 is being spent in the present alterations, made necessary by the settling of a heavy house into a soft ground. Nevertheless Peter Cooper's perpetual gift to the city is disliked by thousands of earnest Christains, who honestly and devotedly believe that it does more harm than good. Religion is systematically j. iif aisregaraea in lis management now as when its founder wa3 alive. The only rule is that morality shall be furthered. The periodicals in the reading room and the books in the liabrary include nothing vicious, but orthodox theology get3 no special representaton, and as many journals devoted to sports can be counted as there are of those advocating Christian ity, while infidel and agnostic publica tions are there. Professor Zachos, the director of instructions, i3 a free thinker. The reading matter is accessible" on Sun days. Worse than aught else, in the estimation of church people, is the rent ing of the hall to heterogeneous assem blages. HEATIXG STOVES.
