STEVENS & BARE, Editors aitd Props SATURDAY. JULY 23. 1887. of R. H. Langford has removed his stock goods to the postoffice room where ho expects to nave an increase of patronage. A picnic is advertised to be held at Lamp- lugh's lake to-morrow afternoon. The affair will probably bo well patronized. Prof. Jesse St. Clair, with a panoramic out fit, held forth at the opera last night. If lie so- cored an audience he sncceeded in doing more than others of his kind have done. The Rev. J. J. Kealer, Baptist minister of Central City, will preach in the Baptist church to-morrow morning and evening. All are cor dially invited. A game of ball between the carpenters and painters of tho city was to take place yesterday afternoon. We did not learn the result. M. C. Lindsay lias purchased tho livery stable outfit of D. 8. Dickinson on Front street. Mr. L. will increase tho stock and put things in first chvs shape to accommodate the public. Our former citizen K. Weinschenk, arrived in the city Monday, having spent some time in Denver lately, it isms intention to commence business in North Platte again. Engineer Itoss lias completed a map showing the latest proposed railroads to be built into this city. At present they number nine, with more to hear from. North Platto iB destined to bo tho greatest railroad center in the 6tate. The drouth in western Nebraska and eastern Colorado seems to be broken, those districts hav ing been visited by copious rains lately. Tho oats anil wheat sown by the settlers will be a practical failure, but corn will make yet if tho rains continue. aire. il. li. Uguen lias taken the house on Sixth street belonging to Mr. Ferguson and will keep a boarding bouse and hotel, to;be known as the North Platte House. Mrs. O. has had con siderablo experience in tho hotel business and she will no doubt receive a liberal patronage. Head clerk liandall and Ids assistants have leen busy tho past few days re-arranging Foley's stock which was displaced by reason of tho re cent improvement made to the store front. When tho goods nro properly arranged tho store will present a much improved appearance. Several weeks ago the XJ. P. company laid pipes on tho north side of tho hotel preparatory to putting in two fountains, but einco then nothing has been done. It is hoped the work bo early completed as it will add much to tho ap pearance of the grass plats. John Neary has completed the pair of slip pers awarded to Mies Kate Bentlcy at the Catho lic fair and they are now in tho jossession of that young lady. The slipiers are elegantly made and reflect credit on Mr. Neary's workmanship. Miss Bentley is very much pleased with them. A homesteader by the namo of Hayes, resid ing over on tho Willow, attempted to jump on a moving N. & C. train Tuesday but missed it and fell, the wheels xmssing over his right leg above the knee. Ho was taken to tho railroad hospital at Lincoln. A sociable under the auspices of tho Fpisco Id ladies will bo held on tho church lawn next Tuesday evening. Tho grounds will bo illumina ted and those so inclined will have an opportunity to trip the light fantastic in the building formerly used for school purposes. A pleasant time is assured all who attend. Ileports from all parts of this county as to the condition of crops are tho most encouraging, The harvest has demonstrated that tho wheat crop is better than expected and corn is boom ing. It is surprising what vicissitudes crops will pass through in this country and yet bo good. Last Friday afternoon Carl Jordan received a telegram from Chicago stating that his father was dangerously ill. Ho made preparations to go eastward; while waiting for tho train received another dispatch stating that his father had passed away. Mr. J. arrived in Chicago in time to attend tho funeral ceremonies. In his bereave ment he lias the sympathy of many friends. Mr. Neville's proposition to build a hotel 132 "iwt" square ttiree stories hlghTt thtf-peopia will raise $10,000, is receiving favorable considera tion. One gentleman has already offered $500. Tho proposed structure will be first-class in every particular, costing about 40,000 It will bi lo cated on the corner of Sixth and Locust street, Yesterday evening T. C. Patterson received n ca blegram from Mr. Cody saying that ho would subscribe ono thousand dollars. On Sunday evening last S. M. Nevins of Kearney started for California with his wife, who was very low with consumption. On the arrival of the train hero at ten o'clock it was evident Mrs. N. could survivo but a short time, and she was removed to tho Pacific hotel, where sho ex pired shortly after, Mr. Nevins is an attorney of Kearney, at ono timo we believe being partner of the late Judge Savidge. The town of Bed Cloud has tho best amateur ball team in the western country. It has won thirteen straight games from neghboring clubs and its members arc thinking seriously of tack ling the first gang of professionals that comes along with vacant date. State Journal. Tho North Platto base ball club denies tho allegation and stands ready to cross bats with any amatuer team in the state and will put a purso as a price that means business. Tho following question is asked by tho State Journal: "How is it that laboring men in conn try towns all over Nebraska pay from 6 to 10 cents per pound for tho best beef, while in Omaha, Lincoln and a few other smaller places tho samo classes must put up 12! i to 15 cents for every pound of meat they buy? Is it all because ex- Iensefl and rents are higher in the larger places? Or do city butchers pay more for stock than those in villages?" Is the above assumption cor rect? Can the Journal point to any town whore the best beef is sold at, from 0 to 10 cents per pound? If there is such a place our local butch ers would like to know where it is. There was a show at Kearney recently, ac companied of courso by the usual "camp follow ers." lleferring to tho operations of these fel lows tho Era said: "Close observers who sawn great many individuals dealing with tho fakirs at show grounds Saturday, arrived at tho conclu sion that tho fools are not all dead. The fool killer would have an immense harvest in Kear ney. As long as a man bets on another man's game ho will bo fleeced." The crop of fools is unusually large this year, judging from this and other reports. They seem to thrive better in dry weather. Somo of tho Gothenburg boys went to North Platto last Sunday were, upon their arrival at that place, horrified to seo what they supposed to be a man hanging to a telegraph post. Tho scene was so realistic that it unnerved tho Gothenbnrg ers that's why they didn't play ball with their old-time vim. Upon closer inspection, however, they discovered a large card attached to tho hang ing man efflgy bearing tho inscription: "Plum Creek Umpire." Tho figure represented none other editor Krier, of tho Plum Creek Pioneer, who now enjoys the distinction of being as big a man as St. John, the Prohibitionist, both having been hung in effigy, and shows that under Ameri can institutions the baso ball umpire ranks with a candidate for president. This recent and un expected elevation of editor Krier is due to the fact that he didn't umpire the last gamo of base ball between the North Platto and Plum Creek clubs to tho entire satisfaction of tho Platto club. Gothenburg Independent. Give Them a Chance. That is to say, your lungs. Also all your breathing machinery. Very wonderful machin ery it is. Not only tho larger air-passages, but 5?e thousands of little tubes and cavities leading from them. When these are clogged and choked with matter which ought not to bo there, your lungs cannot half do their work. And what they do they cannot do well. Call it cold, cough, croup, pneumonia, catarrh, consumption or any of tho family of throat and nose and head and lung obstructions, all are bad. All ought to be got rid of. There is just one sure way to get rid of them. That is totakeBos chee'e German Syrup, which any druggist will ell you at 75 cents a bottle. Even if everything else has failed you, you may depend upon this for certain. PEOPLE AND EVENTS. Mrs. H. C. Bentley went out to Denver Thurs day morning, expecting to return this morning. Mrs. Dr. Harris, of St. Louis, is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Gibbs, of this city. P. J. Conway and Will Volmer went down to Kearney Thursday evening to take in the tourna ment. Dr. J. U. Juliott, of Walker precinct, was among the country visitors to the metropolis this week. Sue Wah arrived homo from the Flowery King dom Thursday night after an absence of several months. B. Hershey, of Muscatine, Iowa, was in the city this week looking after the interests of his large stock ranch near Cottonwood. J. B. Purdy, of tho American Water Works Co. ' A. m 1 a a 9 m . was in wwn xnesaay getting lniormation in re gard to sinking wells for the the water-works. Miss Mollie Thompson, of Penna., sister of Mrs. C. H. Randall, arrived in tho city Wednes day night and will remain during the summer. Harry Kramph left Monday evening for Phila delphia. Ho will visit relatives there and this fall will become a student at a university located at Bethlehem, Penn. Will Woodhnrst came down from Sidney the early part of the week and spent several days in town. While quite well pleased with Sidney, he thinks there is no place like North Platte. Mrs. J. H McOonnell, of Omaha, spent several days in the city this week visiting her many friends. Mr. McConnell was here yesterday, having come in from the west Thursday evening. On July 3d Rev. W. A. Amsbary united Chas, N. Mason and Miss Nellie Lytchlyter in marriage. Tho young folks are both residents of this city. Mr. Mason being in the dairy business. R. II. Langford made a trip thiough the coun try this week looking after tho fences that en close the county superintendent's office. He repaired quite a number of gaps and otherwise set things in order for the fall campaign. If General Greeley finds any inaccuracies in tho report of Sergt. Fitzgerald for last Saturday we know he will overlook them when he learns that on the morning of. that day tho Sergeant be came tho happy father of a pretty, dimple- chinned little girl. Thus does the signal service increase in numbers and usefulness. The intelligent character of tho juries lately before the county court has been remarked upon, composed as they have been of business men, and the question has been asked why such juries are not procured in cases before .the district court. That's too hard a question to answer. uatue nave not ueen so low in a number of years and local stock growers complain ol dimculty in finding a remun erative market. Of course young fat steers and dry cows are in demand for butchers use, but at present they are rather scarce, but will be quite plenty in a month or so. The Chicago market has not been so low in a number of years. corn-fed Nebraska cattle being quoted at 3.25d.o;. Texas cattle running from 1.90 for cows to 3.25 for steers, while" the very best steers averaging 1600 lbs are considered worth less than 4.50. Stock men of the west are not likely to grow rich at these figures- It looks as though we should have some cheap beef. Hogs are quoted in Chicago at $5.205.50, but that does not prevent sliced ham selling in North Platte at 20 cents per pound. In 1873 a road was laid out along the section line south of the city, extending some distance west. Unas. jicUonald who owns a portion of the land through which the road runs, we believe has never acknowledged that the road was legally constituted : at any rate his fence has oc cupied the section line. Last summer W. M. llmman, supervisor of road dis trict 30, after serving notice on Mr. Mc Donald to do so, but which was not com plied with, moved the fence to what he claimed as the road line and charged the expense of the work $101 to Mr. Mc Donald. Payment being refused, suit was brought to recover the amount. Trial was had before the county court this week, and as nearly all the old resi dents were witnesses, it attracted a good deal of attention, The case wasrwannly con tested, J. I.Nesbitt being for the plaintiff and Church & Bixler for the defendant. The jury returned a judgment for the plaintiff in the amount prayed for. Majoriwitz vs. Miller was the title of a lawsuit that brought quite a number of the residents from Garfield precinct to the city and occupied the attention of the county court a couple of days this week. In the fall ol lSb the people of Garfield precinct held a fair at a school house which is on the land of Jacob Miller. There was a fence on two sides of the school house, and for some reason on the day of the fair it was decided to stretch a wire around the other two sides, leaving a gate way in front, which was done . In the evening after dark, Wallace Majon- witz came naing up on a nne Horse at a rapid rate and being ignorant of the ex istence of the wire fence in front of the building turned into the school house yard at the usual place and ran into tho barbed wire fence, receiving considerable bodily injury and his horse subsequently died from the wounds received. The action wsis brought against Miller to re cover damages to the amount of $2o0. The jury held that the defendant was not responsible. The commissioners have labored pretty hard this week auditing the large number of bills that have accumulated during the past six months. Judging rom the looks of many of these bills: it has Decome quite a uniiorm habit to charge the county very heavy wages for light service, a number of assessors bills especially, the board seemed to think, coming under this head. There is not any doubt but what the position of the commissioners in this matter is well taken. It is reasonable to suppose that an assessor will put in a reasonable days work, say from six to eight hours, and that lie is a man of sufficient judgment to determine the value of a piece of land without traveling over every foot of it, especially when that value is determined by an inflexible rule. But from some of the bills, after inspecting the books and blanks, it is fair to believe that a man of average clerical nullity coum work but an hour or two each day in order to make up the time, the commissioners maj' not feel like putting the county to a bill ot costs, for there is urob- ably no such thing as "going behind the returns," but they would probably be justified in cutting down some of the bills and would save money to the county in the end. How ever, the remedy does not lie with the commissioners, but with each precinct whose voters should select a man whom they believe will perform the service as contemplated by law. Bitten by a Horse. John Keith, of O'Fallons, received an injury Sunday morning that came near being a serious affair, and as it is will lay him up for a week or two. He was on a horse leading one of his stallions out to a pasture about two miles from tho house. Passing near some horses the stallion broke loose from him. After several vain attempts to catch him, Mr. Keith was sitting on his horso at some distance from the other horses, when the stallion made a charge at full speed, at first seiz ing the horse 3Ir. K. was riding by the neck. Being beaten off the infuriated an imal seized Mr. K. by the left thigh, lift ing him from the saddle and injuring him severely, the Hesh being badly torn. For tunately the stallion left the man and proceeded after the saddle horse. Being about two miles from home, Mr. Keith became very weak from the loss of blood before reaching the house. A telegram was immediately sent for Dr. Duncan who went up and dressed the wound. Mr. Keith is doing well and will soon be around again. P. H. McEvoy sold a very fine Chick ering piano this week to C. M. Wherry. Copies of The Tribune containing the water-works ordinance may be had at this office. Price 5 cents. We invite attention to the advertise ment of C. W. Price on the second page. His new store is nicely stocked with goods. Give him a call. A critic object! to our use of the word ' drouth." That is the common pronuncia tion of the word, even by those who are supposed to be educated." "Drouth" is the old way of spelling the word, and of late vears has come into ouite common use at least in the west. We are now in the mid-summer sea son and dullness in trade should be ex pected. It is a good time to prepare for the lively times to commence so soon as the heated term is ended. There is some complaint from farm ers of the western counties in regard to nrairie doirs. A colonv of these animals on a farm is said to be quite a nuisance A war of extermination is waged against them and they will scon go the way the buffalo and Indian have gone A small audience greeted the Potter Sisters at the opera house Tuesday even ing but those in attendance were appar ently well pleased with the entertainment As elocutionists the ladies are very good and should have received a larger audi ence. The melon crop is promising, and the Tkibune will be furnished one year gratis to the party presenting this office with the finest and largest watermelon and six months for the finest and largest muskmelon. Competition open to the world, but we have no fears of Lincoln county losing this premium. The Tribune was mistaken last week in stating that Conrad Scharmann was the only North Platte student at the state University. James McDonald is also at tending. If we are only represented by two, they seem to be "way up," as James plays baritone in the Lniversity band and uonraa sings Dass in me university choir. Among the numerous bills presented before the Council Monday night was one irom the uazette-journai company of Hastings of $17.50 for a justice docket for Albin Stolle. The county has been providing these documents, and Clerk Evans has quite a number on hand and he would have furnished the Squire with one much cheaper. The bill was reject ed, any it is likely the (f.-J. will not fare anv better before the commissioners While tne ary weatner caused many to lose faith and some to say the corn crop was not worm nve cents an acre, Sigmund Mang sings a different tune. On being approached by a Tribune scribe who propounded the stereotyped question, "How are your crops, Mr. Mang?" "Never better," came the cheerful reply. "I couldn't be better pleased ; I never had nicer corn or pota toes, and melons well muskmelons bigger than your head or mine either." Mr. 31. is of opinion that people have not learned how to farm in this altitude yet. He thinks they overlook the fact that the' are 3000 feet above the sea and they try to follow too nearly the old methods. He has a way of preparing the ground and planting which he thinks better suited to this soil and climate, md promises in due time to furnish the Tribune with an article on the subject. ODDS AND ENDS. While the hotel accommodations of North Platte are good so far as they go. Odds and Ends is of the opinion that a strictly first-class hotel of large dimen sions would make big money. The re cent circular issued by the Pacific Hotel Co. refusing to give members of the T. Pi A. a two-dollar rate has caused much dissatisfaction among the commer cial men and many of them in fact near- y all of them stop at the Pacific Hotel in this city simply because there is no other house. If a hotel was erected and conducted in a proper manner it would receive almost the entire transient trade, besides a hundred or more day boarders who are at present divided among tho different private boarding houses of the city. It is to be hoped that arrangements cau be made for the erection of the pro posed hotel on the corner of Sixth and ocust, and the sooner the better. 8 Scores of farmers have been interroga ted as to the prospects for corn and in every case the answer has been of a grat- fying nature. Indeed the indications for heavy crop are so good that farmers overlook the shortage in small grain and seem well satisfied with tho prospective result of their year's labor. Corn is King and Lincoln county its kingdom. , . And speaking of corn, Odds and Ends acknowledges an invitation to visit a west end producer next week snd gorge him self with roasting ears, thus showing that the grain is rapidly maturing. As this farmer has 180 acres of corn it is thought there will be sufficient to satisfy' O. and D's ravenous appetite. Odds and Ends compliments the astute editor of the Nebraskian on the effective manner in which he occupied the pitch er's box in Tuesday's game of ball. Should Getzein, Clarkson or other leagne pitchers become disabled before the close of the season, North Platte can supply the vacancy in the person of Mr. Walsh. X The 'hanging in efligy of Krier, which took place at the west end of the depot jard late last week, was a fitting rebuke to that individual and his partial decisions in the game of ball between North Platte and Plum Creek. Unless the ridiculed umpire has the cheek of a government mule he will steer clear of this city. The latest fashionable and proper caper brought out by North Platte ladies is to carry a pet prairie dog around in their pocket A prominent lady of the cit' while down town yesterday drew aside the fold of her dress and exhibited to Odds and Ends one of the cute little animals asleep in her pocket. This new depart ure bids fair to create a furore at the east ern summer resorts and a largely increas ed demand for these pretty little rodents. Quite a number of small bets have been made on this afternoon's game of ball, the wager generally being that the nayseeds will not score over half a dozen runs. If Stapleton pitches his usual game and is well supported behind the bat, Odds and Ends is of the opinion that the home nine will not go round the diamond half as of ten as they did in the games Saturday and Sunday last Jesse Norton, the young but promising curve pitcher, will occupy the box for the North Plattes and if he does as effective work as he did last Wed nesday the visitors may be frequently goose-egged. But we shall see what we shall see. 8 Lovers of beautiful flowers and plants cannot but greatly admire those to bo seen on the lawns surrounding the residences of Messrs. Belton, Sutherland, Foley, Eells, Conklin, and others. Each succeed ing year new varieties are introduced and though it is difficult to make many of them grow in this climate and soil, con stant attention and perseverance have overcome these obstacles and many of our yards compare very favorbly with those found in the east In most cases the de gree of success attained in the cultivation of flowers is due to the ladies and to them is also due the thanks of Odds and Ends for the handsome bouquets received.

Tho game Saturday afternoon with the Julesburg nine was an uninteresting one because it was entirely too muen one sided. The players from up the road are in no way able to cope with the team of this cit', and had not White taken com passion on them in the seventn inning by ntching the ball in a school-boy fashion the result would have been a complete shut-out. At the end of the eighth in ning the Julesburg boys concluded it was useless to play any longer and asked that the game be called. Mills of Ogallala and More of Sidney formed the battery for the visitors Score by innings: 12345678 Julesburg .. .0 0 00 0 0 505 North Platte.4 1 10 0 0 0 0 116 OOTHENBURG FALLS AN EA8T VICTIM. Sunday's game between the Gothenburg and North Platte teams was a repetition of Saturday's so far as a soft-snap for the home nine was concerned, wnite oemg out on the road, Dallas took the pitcher's box and proved his ability to hold down that position in good shape, striking out eight men. The home team played an almost faultless game, although it was minus two of it's best players. The at tendance was the largest this season. By innings the score was : 123406 7 8 'J Gothenburg 11000001 03 North Platto 81431213 326 THE PKESS GANG DOWNS THE LAWYERS. Wednesday the Press Gang, composed of gentlemen more or less conversant with the newspaper business, played a five inning game with the attorneys and succeeded in driving them in the earth by score of 13 to 2. It was intended to give full account of the game, but lack of space forbids. We must, however, com pliment Judge bnelhng on the efficient and graceful manner in which he held down second base. THE SAME OLD STORY. On Wednesday of this week the junior club of Plum Creek, composed of youths from 17 to 20 years of age, came up with the avowed intention of doing up the juvenile club of this city. But alas for duman expectations ! The visitors were exceedingly fresh and our boys salted them for all they were worth. Norton, pitcher for the North Plattes, struck out eleven players. Score : 1234 5 6789 Plum Creek 00100300 04 North Platte 4 2 5 2 1 7 3 3 27 SIIORTSTOPS. McEvoy has sent an invitation to each club in the Western League to play an exhibition game here some time during the season. It is hoped several of them will accept. A nine from the southern part of the count', with Stapleton and Hays as bat tery, will engage the attention of our bovs this afternoon. ' The new suits were ordered from Chi cago Wednesday by telegraph and are expected here to-day. The uniforms are handsome ones and will show off our boys in elegant shape. Our own and only Dowd seemingly improves with each" game. As a first baseman he has few equals in the state. The Plum Creek' Pioneer thinks Dallas City Council. The Council met in regular session Monday evening at the usual hour of nine and proceed promptly to business by reading the minutes of last regular and several special meetings and approving the same. The communication from tho Sperry Electric Light Company came up as un finished business and was indefinitely postponed. A number of citizens of the Third ward presented a petition reciting that inasmuch as their former petition "was unconstitutional," they now asked that Louie Peterson be appointed councilman from that ward. As the appointing power lies with the mayor the council was not disposed to take any action in the matter and consideration of the subject was deferred. A long discussion took place in regard to the grading, guttering and curbing on Spruce street. A motion by Boche that property owners be notified to fill and gutter on or before Oct 1st was lost by the casting vote of the mayor the first time he has had an opportunity to vote. Oberst moved that tho city attorne' be instructed to draw an ordinance requiring propert' owners to fill Spruce street to grade, work to be done by tho first of September. This motion was adopted. Several bills were passed upon and al lowed, they being mostly for hauling dirt and laying crossings, amounting in the aggregate to several hundred dollars. Press Comment on People we Know. E. J. Wolter has grown weary of dust and the vexatious task of up-stairs life and sas : "Ah, I am going to build a home out where life can be more fully enjoyed. I want a yard of my own, where in the front flowers and beautiful shrubs will nod in the breeze." Mr. Wolter is a great poultry raiser, and doubtless he wants a suburban residence so his spare moments can bo spent m robbing hen nests and clutching to a drove of spring chickens. Curtis Courier. A few years ago W. F. Cody was shoot ing buffalo and dodging Indians, and playing seven-up and drinking bad whis ky in western Kansas and Nebraska. Then everybody called him "Buffalo Bill." Now he is a social lion in London, and lords and ladies are running over each other to get an introduction to him and the' call him "Colonel, the Hon. Wm. F. Cody." There is nothing wilder than this in any romance. Sterling (Col.) Record. i Vt,...i Mehlhop against Jeffries was the title of a case that occupied Judge Snel lings court the best part of two days. Melhop brought the action to recover a balance for wintering cattle, and after hearing the evidence the jury found there was 64.50 due the plaintiff and the costs ran up to $43. Jeffries gave notice of appeal. But this didn't end his troubles Coming down town he accused one of his witnesses of having sworn to a lie. The little fellow jumped off his horse and reports say gave Jeffries a "licking," whatever that may mean. A Tribune scribe scenting the battle afar off, stopped to sharpen his pencil and arrived at the scene of action just in time to see the crowd disperse, thus failing to secure a tu x 1 . . f , 1 xonecr , i.DKS H. rePrt according to Marquis of Queens is the greatest kicker on earth but admits T,urv ruies 1 c he is a fine ball player. The Julesburg nine is after revenge and wants to arrange for another game. North Platte stands ever ready to give them another dose. So far this season our club has not suf fered a defeat, but the boys may hear something "drap" this afternoon. Hays and Stapleton are both professional play ers and they are said to be well supported on the bases and in the field. Dallas the Great has been in Kearney part of the week taking the games be tween the club of that city and the Fre mont Grays. Shortstop Jackson has al so been parading his form there. The Gothenburg half club went to North Platte last SundayTor a bout with the club at that place, and about 3 to 26 in favor of the latter is the way the score figured at the close of the game. The Gothenburg boys were so handsomely treated by North Platte bos, however, that their diastrous defeat was received with good nature and they are glad they went to the Platte.
