The water at Lincoln is procured
from a large well fourteen feet in diame
ter and about sixty feet deep. There are
thirteen miles of mains, the whole works
costing $113,000. The cost of operating
is $7,000 per year, the revenue being
$11,000. It is believed a eood system
can be put in in North Platte for about
$38,000, giving sufficient mains to accom
modate the whole city.
Up to Thursday evening eighty-one
members had signed the roll and sub

the 4th of April, if the proper men are
selected, it will not be Ionjr before all the
stock will be taken.
The Fair Sent. 21. 22, 23 and 24.
At the meeting of the Directors Thurs
day it was decided to hold the fair this
year commencing on Wednesday, Sept
21st and continue until Saturday the 24th.
I hese are the same davs as first fixed
upon last year, but afterwards postponed
two weeks. It is an improvement. The
fair heretofore has been held too late.

tion for exhibit It comes before both
Plum Creek and Kearney, the only two
local fairs that are likely to interfere with

The directors expect to have the pre
mium list prepared as early as possible.
Meeting- of the Agricultural Society.
The adjourned meetint? of the Lincoln
County Agricultural Society was held at
the court house Thursday afternoon as
per adjournment.
The matter of the proposition of v . F.
Cody to purchase the grounds came up
for consideration and was rejected.
The motion to amend the constitution
imiting the number of shsres to one hun
dred and fifty was then considered and
adopted.
The treasurer, D. YY- Baker, presented
statement showing the total amount re
ceived during the year was $14233.90 and
the amount paid out $1,254.74. makinjr
the amount overdrawn $18 84.
The directors then held a meeting and
transacted considerable routine business!
The date of the fair was fixed for
Wednesday. Thursday, Friday and Satur
day, Sept. 21, 22, 23 and 24, 1887.
The City Election.
The city election is to take place on
April 5th. The only issue in the election
ef mayor and councilmen is the water
works question. There are two parties:
iming to be for water works con
structed by the city, and another in favor
of granting the franchise to a company.
I he position of The Ikebcxe. on this
question is well known: we are for water
works first, last and all the time : water
not only for fire protection, which we be-
The CBTwtirtatm
Under the head of "Armourjcements''
will be found a eoodly array of names of
gentlemen who desire to be members of
the city eoverament-
Georse Hammond heads the list for
mayor. Mr. H. is a candidate for reelec
tion, having filled the office in a creditable
manner dunne the past year, it can
be safely said that he has shown more of
ficial energy than has ever been shown
by any of his predecessors, being an earn
est advocate of improvement, unaer his
administration an effort has been made to
keep the streets and alleys reasonably
free from debris, yet sou there is room
for improvement in this respect. Being
an earnest advocate of water works,, he
favors the only practical plan for a city
of this size, a franchise.
C. C. Hawkins is now serving his sec
ond term as clerk and asks a re-election.
He is a young and. prosperous business
mnTi interested in the prosperity and de
velopment of the city, and popular with
all classes.
E. B. "Warner is also a candidate fortius
same office. He is thoroughly known
and popular. This will be a dose race.
For treasurer 1. J. Vanuoran, the
present incumbent, is a camiHiate lor re
election. There is not much in this of
fice and we do not look for a very lively
canvas, bp to the present time he is the
only open candidate, although before
election some one may take a notion to
contest his election. He won the posi
tion last year against a very popular shop
boy and we see no reason why a twelve
month should have taken .anything from
his popularity.
For the important position of council
man Messrs. D.W.Baker aaC-L. Pat
terson have announced Jfcengjelves as will
ing to serve. They both reside in the
second ward and have had aldermanic ex
perience though neither of them have as
sumed the proportions usually accorded
these happy individuals. Both are for
waterworks. Mr. Baker is an oldciti
zen and a property owner. Conservative
in all things, his juddment is sound and
he will make an excellent councilman.
Mr. Patterson is a member of the present
council and has ever been in favor of
progress. Having many friends he
will make a good run.
Chas. P. Kuss,Jthe present city engineer,
is a candidate for re -election to the office.
His ability for the position cannot be
questioned. As yet he has no opponent.
The foregoing constitutes The Tri
bute's family of candidates, at present.
It may be larger Jbef ore the battle is over.
They "are all independent and we think
generally well qualified. There are per
haps other candidates but they have not
made themselves known through these
columns.

the rear are iron and coal store rooms. Alto
gether they have one of the best and most conve
nient shops in the country.
A subscriber wants to know when the next
term of district court will be held. J udge Hamer
lias fixed Tuesday, the 31st day of May, as the day
on which he will commence the term. It is not
likely there will be a grand jury. The motion for
a new trial in the Long case lias not yet been ar
gued before the supreme court and even if a new
trial is granted it will liardly take place before
the fall term. We do not know that a chaniw
of venue is contemplated.
-W. P. Collin received a telegram yesterday
"taring that his brother Joseph Collins had died
at 3 a- m., and in company with his wife started
for Chicago last evening. The deceased was
well known in North Platte, liaving worked in
the shops for several years. About two years ago
his health began failing and he left for his home
in Chicago where he has spent most of his time
r-ince- During Ids residence here he proved him
ielf to be an exemplary young msn and the news
of his death was received with regret by his old
acquaintances, Mr. and Mrs. Collins expect to
remain In Chicago a couple weeks.
Keno. the monarch of Tentriloquists, is billed

immense satisfaction at the Opera House last
evening. As an artist of legerdemain he is a
marvel. His illusions are new. mysterious, and
l?rfonned in an original manner. Never, since
our opera house has been built, lias a perform
ance given better satisfaction."

A PRESENTATION.
On Saturday evening, March l&th. the school
children gathered at the residence of W. C. Elder
and an enjoyable time was had by those present.
The evening was spent in spelling and eating re
freshments furnished by the teacher, A. J.
Blougher, and in return the pupils presented him
with an elegant gold pen and holder and a pocket
inkstand. Such occasions as this are sunny spots
in the life of the country pedagogue for it is
gratifying proof that his untiring efforts to ad
vance the pupils are appreciated. Mr. Blougher
has reason to feel proud of the success he has at
tained. - A suit pending before County Judge Snelling
for the past two weeks has attracted considerable
attention among lawyers and others. It appears
that W. D. Waldo purchased the interest of one
Taylor who was in partnership with Ries in the
bottling establishment. Waldo had two saloons
and used a large amount of beer which was
charged against him on the firm book. Ries
owed Evans about $600 and gave the latter an
order on Waldo for the amount, which Waldo ac
cepted, provided it should appear he owed Ries
that amount when they settled. Church and
Grimes were appointed arbitrators to determine
the amount that was due Ries on settlement and
reported that Waldo owed Ries $1.7fi0. Upon
that award Evans demanded his money. Waldo
refused U pay and Evans brought suit and ob
tained a judgment. On Monday of last week L.
Ries filed a petition for an injunction restraining
Waldo from operating the bottling works The
injunction was issued but Waldo paid no atten
tion to the order of the court. An effort was then
made to have Waldo arretted and fined for con
tempt of court; but this didn't appear to work.
However, a citation was issued to Waldo requir
ing him to appear and show cause why he should
not be fined for contempt. This raised the ques
tion of jurisdiction, which was -argued at great
length and spirit by the attorneys, consuming all
day Wednesday. The court held that he had
jurisdiction. Wmman & Grimes appeared for
Waldo and Church & Bixler for Ries.
Lateb. The injunction closing the bottling
works was then enforced and the question of
contempt continued. The whole matter is con
siderably mixed. Judge Hamer is expected
here to-day to hear arguments on dissolving the
injunction.

tax for the same. In our opinion there
is only one way to secure this at the pres
ent time. This city cannot vote bonds,
and we must have the works put in by a
company or none at all. This does not
necessarily imply that we must give away
all the rights the city possesses, as some
affect to believe. Indeed, all the rights of
the people can and should be reserved.
There is nothing to be delegated except
the right to erect and maintain the works
and the use of the streets for mains and
latterals, under such regulations as the
city may prescribe. Every right of the
people should be carefully protected that
no company can take undue advantage.
This can be done and it would be crimi
nal negligence on the part of the author--!
ities to do otherwise.

THE PEOPLE'S CONVENTION.
An extensive prairie fire raged in the
hills on the north side of north river for
several days the fore part of the week, I
. .
apparently originating near ine oirawoocL
Wednesday night the wind came strong
from the north and swept the fire down
on the settlers along the river bottom
with great fury, inflicting considerable
damage. A number of cattle were
burned to death, J. R. Bangs it is said
having lost seven head and John Iehlhop
quite a number, our reporter could not get
the particulars.
The Lincoln Land Company are cutting
through from the Medicine to the lake,
west of town, so as to keep a constant sup
ply of good pure water in the lake. The
ditch is to be broad at the bottom, and we
understand will cost not far from $1,000.
This shows the genuine interest the land
company takes in our town, and should
spur our people on to aid in all feasible
improvements. Curtis RecortL
About four hundred loads of dirt
were dumped into Spruce street this week

C F. Ormsby Nominated For Mayor.
Early in the week a few posters were
printed and posted up calling a people's
meeting at the court house Thursday ev
ening to nominate candidates for city of
fices who were opposed to franchise wa
ter works. The move was made at the
earnest solicitation of that ever handy and
convenient individual, "3Iany Citizens."
Well, when Thursday evening came
"Many Citizens" was on'hand at the court
house" early. J. D. Wilson was elected
chairman and W. J. Roche secretary.
A ballot for mayor being taken, War
ren Lloyd received three votes, J. Q.
Thacker fourteen, Geo. Hammond eleven,
and C. F. Ormsby fifteen. Then some
confusion ensued. Hammond's strength
was almost afparalyzer; 'twas something
not counted on by "many citizens." Ham
mond men beginning to pour in, it be
came evident "a second ballot would re
sult in a manner not intended by the
managers. Anthony Ries was one of the
people and he wanted to have a chance to
vote, but the chairman was hard of hear
ing. Amid more or less confusion he
commenced a speech, but the masterly
effort "died a-boroin," the chairman de
claring Ormsby nominated for mayor,
Warren, Lloyd councilman for the First
ward, W. J. Roche in the Second ward
and Matt Hook and James Snyder in the
Third ward. This completed the list of
nominations and the meeting adjourned.
Ries is an anti-franchise man, but
the real, genuine anti-franchists won't
believe the old boss. He wanted to be
heard he wanted to be heard bad, but
the chairman was deaf and couldn't hear
him. This should be a warning to
"many citizens" never to put a deaf man
in the chair.
SPRING OPENING.
From the 4th to the 9th of April we
will have our spring opening. 2few
goods are constantly arriving but we will
not show them until then. It will be "a
surprise to all, for we are determined to
keep ahead of the growth of the city in
the growth of our business.
We have also added a dressmaking de
partment and have secured the services of
an experienced modeste to take charge of
it. In both departments none but the
best talent will be employed for we are
determined to give satisfaction.
