The clerk submitted a report showing the ex

eleven months of the fiscal year, which showed
that there was a small balance in the city treas
ury. Both statements were ordered spread upon

Woltemath, Luke Haley and J. C. Hupfer for sa

Mr. Dickinson has made quite a num
ber of improvements in his stable recent
ly, and now has one of the most commo
dious horse hotels in this part of the state.
Like all lovers of horses, Mr D. believes
the noble animal should have comfortable
quarters.
One of Mr. Clint Patterson's last offi
cial acts is to secure the passage of an
ordinance fixing the width of sidewalks
on the principal business streets. The
width, 14 feet, is a compromise betwaen
the broad and the narrow guage, and we
think is about the correct thing.
Gentlemen who have recently visited
the head of the irrigating canal say that
the river bank is likelv to be washed
away, thus letting the water pass into the
ditch around the gates, in perhaps larger
quantities than the canal can carry.
Would it not be well for the superinten
dent to look after this matter?
Otterstedt, Hershev &, Co. have ar
ranged the numerous signs at thetr new
headquarters in a very pleasing manner.
They have secured the agency of the
Goodhue "Wind Engine and propose to

Lincoln and adjoining counties.
"We publish the official canvas of the
votes cast at the late citv election not so
much as news, because it is substantially
trie same as published the week previous,
but for future reference. A newspaper
is a record from which the future histor
ian derives his material.
Last fall it was predicted that hay
would be scarce and high in the vicinity of
this city this spring, but the prediction
has not been verified. Hay is selling as
low as $4, and the market Is well supplied
the prospect being that plenty will
be left over. The demand in the west
ern market has also been liirht, shippers
finding difficulty in procuring orders, thus
eavms larger quantities than nsual to
seek a home market.
Messrs. Ottenstein and Foley are
making preparations to build a permanent
sidewalk on Spruce street in front of their
blocks. They have not yet decided on
the material to be used, but are negotiat-
in Omaha to put
down a, slagolithic walk. This is com
posed of crushed slag ana cement, and is
said to make a hard and durable walk.
It is warranted for five years.
The club dance advertised to occur at
the Pacific hotel last evening was held at
the opera house instead, the managers not
wishing to take chances of being incon
venienced bv belated trains. Although
the attendance was not large only twen-tv-two
couDles being present the even
ing proved a delightfully pleasant one,
the participants without an exception ex
pressing themselves as highly satisfied
with the result.
Cyclones have been rather late in
starting this year, the hrst one to make a
record being in Ohio last week. Delay
seemed to have accumulated in energy,
as a large district was seriously damaged.
On maps made a few years ago by the
signal service, North Platte was located
outside the cyclone belt, but climatic ;
changes have been so radical and rapid
who can say where we are at present. As
a rule however, cyclones are not numer
ous at an altitude'of three thousand feet.
Geo. B. Jane, state superintendent i
of public instruction, issued a proclama- j
tion requesting teachers and pupils of j
schools to set out trees on Arbor day. As ;
it is not likely much was done in that
line in this part of the state, it should be
attended to on the first favorable occasion,
say on Monday, as it not yet too late. The
suggestion is made that each teacher
plant a tree, each class a tree, and if pos
sible each, child a tree, and mark the
same.
A boy about twelve years old, son of
Archie Adams, was accidentally shot in
the leg Moaday evening while at play
with other boys near the stock yards.
The kids are reticent but the supposition
is that one of them had a pistol and it
was accidentally discharged. The
ball entered just above the knee, ranging
up and across the leg about six inches, j
lodging under the skin, without touching i
the bone. Dr. Donaldson took it out and
the boy will soon be around again.
Speaking of the McGibbeny Family, the

Preparations for the fifth annual ball

The Tkibuxk was mistaken last week
in saying the new officers would be sworn
into office Monday evening. They will
take charge of affairs we believe at the
next regular meeting, the first Monday in
May. And while on this subject we
might as well remark that we dont be
lieve there is any law except custom fix
ing the time of commencing or expira
tion of a city office. There is nothing in
the ordinances creating a municipal year
and if there is anything in the statutes it
takes time and patience to find it How
ever, the statement seems to have had a
good effect, for the new officers were all
present and probably received a profitable
lesson in regard to the manner of doing
business.
The Odd Tellows' BuUdlnar SoJd.
The Odd Fellows building in this city
was constructed bv a. building association,
there being 174 shares. In the course of
time these shares began to fall into the
hands of a few persons, and there became
quite a rivalry between the Lodge and
Mr. Belton as to who should own the
largest number and have a controling
interest In this race Mr. Belton came
out ahead, securing 97, while the Lodge
could only get 77. Thus Mr. Belton was
enabled to elect the officers and, dictate
the course of the association. This was
unsatisfactory to the Lodge, and negotia
tions were commenced to purchase Mr.
Belton s shares. No progress was made
until a couple months ago, when Jlr. B.
expressed a willingness to sell at what
was thought exhorbitant figures. Recent
advances in real estate having convinced
the Lodge that the shares could never be
bought cheaper, the sale was closed
Thursday evening by the Lodge coming
to his figures, $7,000, $5,000 cash down
and the balance inside of two years. Mr.
Belton leases the lower story for one year
and perhaps longer. Estimating at the
rate paid Mr. Belton for his shares the
lot and building is worth nearly f 12,000.
Under a recent rule issued by the
Commissioner and approved by the
Secretary of the Interior, persons who
wish to practice before the government
land office, and who have not keen ad
mitted to the bar as attorneys, are re
quired to procure a certificate "from some
court of record that in the opinion of the
judge they are competent to give valuable
advice and, substantially, qualified to
practice as attorneys before the land
office. Judge Hamer having been ap
plied to by a number for such certificates
and not having time to devote to the sub
ject, appointed Wm. Neville, J. W. Bixler
and H. M. Grimes a committee to prepare
a list of questions and examine applicants.
The committee prepared a list of about
125 questions, mostly relating to land
laws, but some vital ones relating to rules
of evidence, procedure and advice' The
gentlemen from this Citv who went
before the inquisition were 1. A. Fort, W.
H. Welty, Geo. A. Yan Inwegen, W. C.
Lemon and Geo D. Prest The answers j
we believe had all been submifsjslLta the
committee, but up toyesterdayfwferaoon
the markings had sot been made, and it
will probably be several days before the
boys will know whether they can fish or
cut bait, as the findings of the committee
will have to be forwarded to Judge
Hamer. It is needless to say some of
them feel somewhat nervous, but we be
lieve they will all pass. If not it will be
good for them all the same, as they will
brighten up and qualify themselves by
study.
The Tribute congratulate the Jadies
of the Episcopal church on ih success

both in a social and financial way. The
east side of the hall was divided into
