The question has been asked The
Tribune if an unnaturalized person
can vote and hold office. A person
who has declared his intention to
become a citizen by taking the pre
scribed oath, can vote in this state
thirty days thereafter. He can also
take a homestead or pre-emption,
but cannot prove up on the former
until he has his full papers. What
is commonly called the "first papers
await trial at the next term of
court, which convenes in October.

The Catholic Fair.
The Catholicj Fair opened Monday
nicht at Llbvd!s onera house, under tne
most auspicious circumstances, and the
bright expectations then promised have
been fully realized. They have been real
ized in more than a double-senae, for the
patrons of the fair have not only enjoy
ed themselves in the pleasures and social
features of the entertainment, but the
managers have felt happy and encouraged
at the grand financial success of the var
ious departments, the aggregate receipts
for the first four nights being $653.00.
The dancing of course is an attractive fea
ture for young lovers of the terpsichorean
art, and on these pleasant nights we are
all young, and lovers too, ye editor should
judge from the number of "old boys" who
"gaily trip the light fantastic toe;" but
there are many other amusing features.
Of course the voting for the different
prizes at times becomes exciting, as one
favorite may gain a slight advance of
another, and at such times the bulletin
boards are surrounded by large crowds
watching the fortunes of the different
contestants. On Thursday evening the
principal contest was over the award of a
rue to as the bulletin board says tne
homeliest member of the committee. If
the two principal contestants are homely,
The TnrmiNE must sav that they make
up for lack of beauty in gocclness and
pleasant ways, for they are among the
most popular of North Platte's fair ladies.
The Tribune denies the homely part that
thevotinir would seem to allege.
The fair will come to an end to-night,

S'orthe latter up to this writing the tal

Nebraskian is the favorite, with "The

while The Tribune people bring up the
distant rear. Editors as a rule are too
poor to have much money to invest in
chairs, and we fear the managers will not
"reap the reward in this venture that their
forethought deserves.

whole bar and all the witnesses were for
the prosecution, they defended their client
with such skill that the jury brought in a
verdict of not guilty. A remarkable fea

evidence, believing that the accused had
not proven himself innocent. Judge

this was not necessary; but he allowed
