SATUBDAY, JULY 16. 1887.
There -were heavy showers in the eastern part
of the state Monday. "While indications were
favorable hero, there was mo rain to 6 peak of.
Sunday night there was a light local ehower.
Mrs. John Chapin, living some six miles
south of town, was the first to bring green corn
to market this year, the 8th of July being the
date. Of course The Tiubun e was not forgotten
S. A. Douglas Post recently received a lot of
muskets for use in parades. They are the style
in use in the army before the rebellion, but they
answer every purpose for which they are de
signed.
The Telegraph makes a mistake when it 6ays
an ordinance was passed Monday ordering the
grading of Spruce street. The provisions wero
agreed upon and the city attorney was instructed
to draft the document, and it will probably be in
troduced at tho next meeting.
The Omaha Republican has a private pointer
that tho Union Pacific will issue a new time ta
ble about August 1st. and that the overland trains
will make forty-five miles per hour. This high
bpeedrato has been in contemplation for some
time and is one of Mr, Potter's schemes to con
trol the bulk of overland travel.
An unusual number of brake-beam tourists
liave passed through the city within tho past few
days, of course stopping to take in tho sights of
tl ic city more or less. They havo not fared very
well lately, thoir natural enemy, tho rustling
brakeman, being more vigilant than common.
one tourist reporting that he was chased all over
the prairie at O'Fallons by one of these stalwart
guardians of the company's interests.
A minor has been in circulation for several
days of proposed changes in railroad circles, the
principal ono being that Superintendents "Jtoan
and Deuel have been "let ont" and that dbXiw
has iKMjn appointed to air. Koun s place, xramors
of such changes are without foundation, as if
contemplated even no one below the general
manager would know of the proposed change.
These stories aro probably started by those who
desire such a consummation.
--'When tho Plum Creeks wero hero last week,
they felt considerably chagrined at their defeat,
and felt confident they could beat tho Platters on
their own stamping grounds, in spite of tho fact
that they had had ono opportunity to do so and
failed. Accordingly a challenge was extended
and accepted to play in Plum Creek Sunday.
When tho North Platte men arrived at the Creek
they were very cooly received and it was soon evi
dent that premeditated insult was contemplated.
This was actually carried out in several instances,
but pocketed in each case, our .ien considering
tlsat discretion was the better part of valor. The
game was very warmly contested, tho score
standing fourteen to fourteen at tho end of tho
ninth inning in spite of what our man considered
very partial umpiring. On the the tenth inning
tho Creekers scored a goose egg and Plaltes two,
thus securing tho game and the boodle, a purse
in which it is alleged tho nmpiro had $25. If this
is the case, it would bo difficult to give impartial
decisions.
This afternoon thero will be a game between
tho Julesbnrg and the North Plattcs, at the fair
grounds in this city. On Sunday afternoon tho
Gothenburg nine will cross bats with our men
at tiie same place. Both of tho visiting club. are
fraid to be extra amateur organizations, and fine
games may be expected.

take help had already been secured andhisscr
vices were not needed.
Sam Urbach arrived from New York Sunday
accompanied by wifo and child. Mrs. TJ'6 health
has improved considerably lately, and wo have no
doubt that under the invigorating effect of our
lewill continue to do so. Mr Urbach
says that The Tiubune is one of the best immi

every one who reads it being seized with tho Ne
braska fever at once. Thero arc thousands anx
ious to find homes in the west.
Miss Carrie Bolton, assisted by Mr. and Mrs.
Will McDonald, pleasantly entertained a number
of friends at her homo Tuesday evening. Tho
guests wero in a gay humor and well prepared to
enjoy tho hospitality of the hostess. Various en
tertaining amusements wero held on tho lawn
during the early part of Uio evening and later tho
iwiriy assembled in the parlors to listen to somo
excellent vocal and instrumental music and to
partako of refreshments. The guests departed at
twelvo o'clock, having spent a very pleasant ov
ening. Those present wero Mr. and Mrs. Wherry.
Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds. Mrs. Iddings. Miss Cnl

was in the city Saturday, beiner a witness
to assist a neighbor in proving up.
In the assault and battery charge
against ex-county commissioner Hubartt,
the defendant was found guilty and fined
$10 and costs. Had he confined his
striking to the man it is likely the jury
would have viewed the matter in a differ
ent light
At a special meeting of the council
Monday evening the matter of filling
Spruce to grade and curbing and guttering
tne same, was discussed at some length.
As the property owner? are now favora
ble to the move, a motion was adopted
instructing the attorney to draw an ordi
nance to that effect to be submitted at
next regular meeting Monday evening.
The .North Platte baseball club went
down to Plum Creek Sunday and in a ten
inning game succeeded in downing the
Creekers by a score of 16 to 14. An ac
count of the treatment received by our
boys will oe found elsewhere. While
the language used by the writer rrray be
a little strong, there is no denying the
fact that they were treated raw, yes very
raw.
There is a coolness" or something of
that nature among the school officers of
district No. 16, which prevents tkem from
acting in concert and payinf the teacher
as all good districts should do. Miss Kir
by, who taught the last term, was unable
to get her last month's pay, and she
brought an action before Judge Snelling
to recover the same. The case was tried
last Saturday and she easily obtained a
judgment, the costs of course being as
sessed against the district The amount
of her claim was $30, the co3t of collect-
ing-being.cearly.half that amount Th.it
i-jst!se Inlaw, but In equity it would
seem she should be entitled to damacres
and costs of collection in addition.

consummation promises bright for the
principals.
On their recent trip' to Plum Creek the
ball players were accompanied by a citi
zen who occasionally uses language not
approved by the clergy. During the
progress of the game the umpire made
man' rank decisions and the spectators
jeered the North Platte boj-s for all they
were worth. This raised the ire of the
aforementioned citizen and walking up
to attorney Sinclair he emphatically de
clared that if he was an agent of the "devil
and was looking for a new location for
hades he would select Plum Creek with
out searching farther, and also thought
ver- few of the present residents would
need be removed.

Odds and Ends wishes to correct a
statement recently published by the Eyes
.and Ears man of the Omaha .Republican
to the effect that Mrs. W. F. Cody prior
to her marriage to Mr. Cody was the
widow of Colonel Whitely of Kentucky
and also that Mr. Cody had recently sued
for and obtained a divorce from his wife.
During the winter of "1864-65 Mr. C,
while on detached service at St. Louis,
became acquainted with Miss Louisa

Sunday ball playimr has been the
theme of considerable discussion
the past few days, the clergy and
members of the several churches of
course denouncing it in very strong
terms. There are many people who
do not see anv particular harm in
witnessing a game of ball on the
Sabbath and this class will be re
presented by hundreds at the fair
grounds to-morrow. The Tribuxe
would not encourage the practice,
believing that suitable arrangements
can always be made to have the
games played on days other than
Sunday.

The celebration here was a grand
success, at an early hour the people
began to assemble and long before
noon a- large crowd was on the
grounds. The literary programme
consisted of vocal and instrumental
music, address of welcome by Mr.
Kelly, short address by Mr. Porter,
toast Our Developement" by Eev.
Flemming, toast "The G. A. R."
by Mr. Skinkle, all of which was
highly appreciated by an attentive
audience, for amusements we had a
game of base ball, horse race, potato
race, foot race, wheel-barrow race,
a fine display of fire works and a
grand ball in the evening where
many of our young folks tripped
the light fantastic toe until the
crowing of the cock, which warned
them of the coming of another
dawn. One commendable feature
was that not a drop of liquor was
seen on the ground, nor a man who
had imbibed any.
Our lumbermen shipped in five

The Walker System Adopted.
On Tuesday afternoon the coun
cil held a meeting tor tne purpose
of considering bids for the erection
and maintainnnce of water works
in North Platte, in response to
roposals previously invited. Two
ids wer filed, one from the
North Platte Water Works Com-
nanv. renresented bv T. C. Pat
terson and Lester Eells. and one
from the American Water Works
and Guarantee Company of Pitts-
burg, .Fa , represented by M. w aiser
of Fenton. Mich., inventor of the
pumps used. The bid of the North
Platte Company was substantially
the same as submitted last winter,
contemplating standpipe and direct
pressure, wmle the walKer plan is
direct pressure only. Tne proposi
tion ot the JNorth Platte Company
was verv liberal, and would have
received much more favorable con
sideration had it not contained two
provisions to which the council and
the people object strenuously one
in regard to exclusive franchise and
the other in regard to the endorse
ment of a certificate on bonds,
pledging hydrant rentals to pay
interest on the same. The stand
pipe found many opponents also.
The svstem adopted is tke same
as is in operation in Kearney, and
is highly commended by engineers
in towns where in operation. Al
though the pumps have had but a
few years' trial, we believe they are
among the best, and that our people
will be well satisfied with results.
Elsewhere we publish the contract

The Map of the (Sty.
Civil engineer Chas. P. Ross has
been at work for some time on the
map of the city and vicinity ordered
by the board of trade. It is one of
the largest maps of the kind made,
being nearly six feet long by five
feet wide, the border being occu
pied by illustrations of the principal
buildings in the city and vicinity.
The map proper shows the city
with all its additions, the north and
south rivers and a scope of territory
six and one half miles east and
west by five miles north and south,
roads, rivers, streams, each tract of
land properly colored with the
owners name printed thereon. In
one corner on a smaller scale is a
railroad map, showing the city and
surrounding territory, with roads
constructed and projected. The
work has been carefully taken from
government records, official surveys,
and personal investigations under
the immediate direction of Chas.
P. Ross, civil engineer, Ellis Keiser,
of the Lippencott publishing house,
Philadelphia, being the draughts
man. It is a fine piece of work in
every respect. The map will be
sent to Philadelphia to be litho
graphed, a large number having
been ordered?
The money to be expended in
pntting in water-works and the
improvement or streets win oe a
great help, furnishing employment
to a large number of laborers and
others.
The machinery for the flouring
mill arrived this week and is being
put together. The mill will soon
be in good running order and side

An incident occurred this week
that very aptly illustrates the power
of monev. A couple months sinee
a tramp printer went west, dividing
nis limited means with the hind
brakeman, thus securing precarious
transportation. He was glad to
get a "grub stake" at this office by
distributing a case, and the boys
were glad when he left, thus mak-
Brady Island.
The hay making season is rapid
ly approaching and people are
making preparations for the work.
On some of the ranches hay will be
cut from as many as three or four
hundred acres. The hay making
outfit of M. C. Keith moved onto
the island on Saturday evening
last. The" men seemed to mean
business.
A certain individual in the neigh
borhood went on an antelope hunt
a few days since. Before going he
expressed himself confidently, he
would certainly get an antelope.
He went, he saw it, but he didn't
get it. He should be reminded of
Scriptural injunction: "Let him
that putteth on his armor not boast
until he taketh it off."
The DeWolf mystery is still un
solved. This gentleman and his
wife have been gone about four
weeks to parts unknown, and it is
quite certain they will not return.
Perhaps a little history of the af
fair would not .be out of place.
About two years ago a gentleman
by the name of Louie DeWolf and
wife moved onto a newly fitted up
ranch about two and a half mile
east of Brady Island. It was under
stood that the ranch did not belong
to him, but was the property or his
father, living at the time in the
state of Iowa. Mr. DeWolf seemed
to be an industrious man, and as he
and his wife were young and no
family it seemed that it would be
an easy matter for them to make
the ranch a paying one in a few
years and put themselves in quite
comfortable circumstances. Mrs.
DeWolf applied for and secured
a situation in one of the schools in
the district and at first gave general
satisfaction. About the close of
the term it appears there was for
certain reasons almost general dis
satisfaction. She made two at
tempts at different school houses
before she could proceed with her
second term. After teaching about
six weeks she absented herself with
out leave from the board for several
days and when she returned gave
up the school. The director had
determined, however, before this to
dismiss her had she attempted to
continue the school. It was known
that family jars had been quite
frequent of late and that she had
taken but little interest in the
school. As she is gone let the
mantle of charity be thrown over
the many damaging reports on her
character and believe impossible and
even very probable that they were
magnified.
Gr. E. Stone celebrated the Fourth

I noticed in the columns of the

The editor of the Nebraskian

o the return of the flags. It can't
do it. The flag sensation has come
to stay awhile, at least until the
next presidential election.

The Chicago Journal states that
by interviews with three of the
Judges of the supreme court of the
State it appears that the decision of
the court in regard to the trial and
conviction of the anarchists has
been agreed upon, and the opinion
has been written up. Of course
the judges dropped no hint as to
the purport of their decision, but
the Journal is inclined to believe
that some one else, perhaps a copy

foundation for the report that a
new trial will be ordered. The de

September term.

The Assessed Valuation.
Elsewhere we publish a table
shnwine the assessed valuation of
property returned by the assessors
for 1887. It is the intention of the
law that all property shall pay its
proportion of taxes, but a casual
inspection of this table will con
vince any one that this is not done.
For instance, live stock and imple
ments are evidently fully returned,
but it will be noticed tnat there are
more wagons and carriages than
there are clocks and watches, and
that the value of the former is
nearly .three times that of the
latter. Gold and silver nlate is
worth for assessing purposes $355,
and we have 95 worth of diamonds
and jewelry. Sewing machines are
worth 2020, but they will not
begin to balance the actual value of
the diamonds and jewelry. Some
persons are known to possess nearly
a thousand dollars worth of this
property. Outside of the banfcs
there is 18S0 in money returned
for taxation, and yet about the first
of April there were in two banks
alone 135,000 in deposits, and
probably 75,000 in the other.
Making due allowance for money
assessed as merchandise an-1 of non
resident depositors, there must be a
notorious evasion of taxation in
this line. Many other instances
might be pointed out, but this will
suffice. It is evident a very large
proportion of personal property
escapes taxation.
A peculiarity of the assessment in
the city is noticeable. While the
valuation of realty has more than
doubled in the past three years, and
personal property has largely in
creased, the assessed valuation is
very much lower. We do not ad
vise extremes in this matter, but at
the proper time we shall take occa
sion to notify assessors of their
duties and powers.
Referring to Secretary Fairchild's
action in directing the advance
payinant of the July interest on
Pacifies and 4 per cents, without
rebate, the New York World ob
serves: "This is not the first occa
sion under the present Administra
tion when extraordinary steps have
been taken by the Treasury at
Washington for the benefit of Wall
street."

As a matter of fact the
Treasury has been systematically
operated under Wall street influ
ence and for Wall street purpose
ever since Mr. Cleveland became
President; and upon that fact more
than any other is based the Demo
cratic hope of carrying New York
in 1888.
