The membore of the Republican County- Cen tral Committee of Lincoln County are hereby ailed to meet at the court house in North Platte enTaeeday. August 2d 1887. at 2 p. m for the Supweof iasufiig a call for a Republican Conn tyconrention. agreeing upon a Daws of represen tation thereto, and for the transaction of such other bosinesB as may come before u com ,ittee J ETAJfs, Chairman. Ckab. H. Stamp, Secretary. John Taylor, head of the Mor mon Chnrch, died on Monday. He was a native of England. The Repuhlicans of Keith county are early in the field with their call for county convention. It will he held in Ogallala Tuesday, Sept. 27. At the election held in Cheyenne county on Tuesday last, the ques tion being for or against herd law, the affirmative was carried by a large majority. The range cattle must go. Ajtew paper has reached this office, the "Western Wine, Beer and Spirit Review." It has a good long name, hut what its life will be in not easv to determine. Its mis sion is to oppose prohibition. Thos. Cardinell is a candidate for the nomination for sheriff by the Republican Convention, in addi tion to those mentioned last week. Mr. C. is a locomotive engineer. and has been on the road quite a number of years. The latest pension movement is it the drafted men on the pen- . mi i 1 i. 3 omifiaiL ine mental strain auu B w. w rr consequentwear and tear on the constitution of a drafted man is something apalling." Put him on the list, with Grover the Good at the head. The county comissioner to be elected this year must come from the first district, which is that por tion of the county south of the river. We understand the friends and neighbors of Fred Kade are urging him to be a candidate. Mr. K. is an old citizen and would make a good commissioner. The hanging of umpire Krier in effigy was a piece of business in bad taste, and does not reflect any honor upon the persons whose work it was. It should take a greater crime than a few mistakes in um piring a base ball game to cause such treatment. The Ohio Republican state con vention very properly endorsed John Sherman for President. It was the proper thing to do; indeed to those outside the state it seemed strange there could be any opposi tion to such a resolution. It looks very much now as though Sherman is the coming man: In the escape of McGarigle the convicted Chicaero boodler, the Tweed case is paralaled. Unlike the old New York gentleman, Mc Garigle is young and in prime health. It will take a powerful sight of district attorney to kill him. furnish you with ii fow fncto and figures. Thoy JnY wot be abso lutely correct, but it thoy err it is as likely to bo either sido. I will give the work done by both country and city assessors. Red Willow precinct is twelve miles square, 144 square miles, with no towns or villages, it was assessed in twenty-four days at the rate of names per day, making 174 assess ment sheets returned by the asses sor and all duly signed and sworn to. The assessor had to come to town twice, forty miles each way and four days1 time and his bill was only $89.50. Now let us analyze the work done by the city assessors: Personal of 1886. of 1887. . First ward (28,155 $18,157 Dec. $9,998 Second ward.... 37,151 54,830 Inc. 17,179 Third ward 55,579 35,167 Doc. 20,412 The number of persons, includ ing firms, returned by assessors.: 1886. 1887 First ward 271 182 Second ward 211 Third ward 169 The number of votes polled in each ward April 5th, 1887: First ward 220 Second ward 183 Third ward 118 In the first ward, according to the blanks returned, there were 166 voters names, being 54 less than the number cast on April 5th in that ward, and there was 80 names less than in 1887 than there was in 1886, which would indicate a great number of empty houses. The number of assessment sheets re turned was 182, eight signed with firm name instead or by one of the partners and sworn to, and thirty four sheets not signed by the as sessor, making forty-two imperfect returns, leaving 140 perfect returns: The shrinkage in values as com pared to 1886 is $9,998; the cost of the job was $109. Thirty-five days of solid work was sworn to and for the amusement of the dear tax payer I give the number of assess ments made on each day as appears by the dates on assessment sneets: April 17, 20 and 27, one each day; 2d, 4th, I5th and 19th, two each day; 23d, three per day; 12th, four per day; zotn, six per day; zotn, seven per day; 9th, nine per day; 16th, 15 per day; 14th, sixteen per day; 23d, eighteen per day; May 4th, 9th, 10th, 12th, 21st and 28th, one each day; 5th, 14th, 23d, 30th and 31st, two each day; 26th, three per day; 7th, 20th and 24th, four per day; 2d, seven per day; 11th, eight per day; 13th, thirteen per day. There were three or four in June, making thirty-five days, a daily average of five and one-fifth names. The territory worked over is less than a half mile wide and three-fourths of a mile long. The assessor in the Second ward returned 242 assessment sheets all properly signed and sworn to. The increase over 1886 was $17,179.74 in per sonal property; charges $124. The assessor in the Third ward returned 166 assessment sheets; ninety-three were signed and sworn to, seventy- three were not signed or sworn to. The decrease of personal property over 1886 was $20,412. The foregoing ought to be suf ficient to enable the most stupid mind to judge of the eorrectness of your criticisms. Jas. Belton. The politicians who have Grover Cleveland in training have succeed ed in getting the fat boy's promise to visit St. Louis. What was to hinder him from going without an invitation? Who invited him to go afishing on Decoration Day? Anarchism is doing much to re vive some of the principles of the Know-Nothing party, which had quite a run more than thirty years ago. It don't take long to make a native American. The boy of that period born of foreign born parents is a radical American now. Dull times are reported in rail road circles, travel being lighter than customary at this season. This being the case, passenger agents and managers will have time to consider the problem of re ducing fares, their time being not more than half occupied in count ing coupons. If the Democrats should con clude not to take the man of des tiny, then a southern man is cer tainly entitled to the nomination. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston would be the strongest and best man they could take up, but if he is not radi cal enough to suit the copperheads and old democracy, they may have their old and honored leader, Jeff. Davis himself. Give Jeff, another trial. THE ASSESSORS CHARGES. Editors Tribune: In your last week's issue you comment on the charges of the assessors but you give no data in order that your readers may see if there was any jutt grounds for criticism. I will McGABIGLE AND EXTRADITION. If McGarigle is in Canada he safe from return to his prison by any process under the extradition treaty of 1843. Murder, attempe to mur der, piracy, arson, robbery, and for gery are the only offenses extradit able by the two parties to the Anglo-American treaty. For all that he may not be be yond the reach of determined men who are bent on his capture." Tweed escaped to Spain, with which America has no treaty of extradi tion, but means were found to ren der the authorities blind to his seizure. John Surratt escaped to Italy after the murder of Abraham Lincoln and enlisted in the Papal Guards. There wa3 no extradition treaty with Italy, but the enormity of the crime was such that King Victor Emanuel consented to his arrest by seamen of a United States vessel upon which he wa3 brought across the sea. Many minor cases might be cited in which either the vigilance of foreign authorities has been eluded or a natural hatred of crime has led them to connive at technically illegal arrests. Whether Canada would be as liberal in the matter of McGarigle as Spain was in the matter of Tweed is very doubtful. England has always cherished a belief in the protective power of her flag. Even ralmerston's great popularity was not able to save him from obloquy when he desired to surrender some alleged conspirators upon request of his friend Napoleon III. Still there is such a difference between natural and political crime that it is not safe to argue from the premier of England to a Canadian mayor. And there are mayors and mayors. The mayor of a great city like Mon treal or Toronto would be likely to stand upon strict construction of the treaty; the mayor of a smaller city might take larger views. But if the escaped felon has reached Canada it will take very fine work to get him out of it. The possibility of such as he and the boodlers of New York living lux uriously in easy reach of the people whom they have plundered suggests the wisdom of an early enlargement of the provisions of the treaty of extradition Chicago Inter Ocean. Bed Willow Precinct. The showers of the past few days have been Quite refreshing. A Mr. O'Reak living in the eastern part or tne county wane irying to ooard a west-bound moving freight last Tuesday fell under the train in sucn a manner as to have one of legs crushed off just below the knee. The unfortunate man was taken to Curtis and comfortably cared for. H. U. Myers is putting in a new store to De occupied dv Beaton a star as a drug and hardware store. J. W. Nation has the contract for the carpenter work. Mr. Hatcher, who has been running the Howard Bros' lumber yard, went west to some point in Colorado to take charge of a new yard for the same company. Several strangers have been here the past week looking up locations for busi ness. We expect a big boom assoon as the town lots are on sale. In our last we stated that Mr. Reyn olds' crop was partially destroyed by hail ; It was Mr. Myers' instead. Aoricola. Garfield Precinct. This community is being blessed with a few gentle showers which is helping corn ana potatoes wonderiuiiy. Our Oregon man, S. S. Brown, who has been with us for a month or more is ex pectmg to start for Oregon home in a few days. "W. F. Campbell is about losing his loafing place in R C. Hardin's store. He has been absent for two days at a time. u A. uiarx, oi uanaway, - was in our midst a few days ago. He is living on chicken of late. Mart Yinkhon and family of Broken Bow are visiting our ex-blacksmith Mr. Miller. Our neighbors are having a feast on sand cherries which grow in abundance in the sand hills south of here. Farmers in this vicinity are about through harvesting, except a few pieces of oats. They are talking of threshing soon. L. P. and Jacob Smith have bought John Griffith's interest in the threshing machine formerly owned by Griffith & Alexander. Real estatG is beginning to change hands in this community ; we understand Jacob Miller has sold his homestead. Hope he is Hot going to leave us. We are sorry we can't report a wedding from this corner, but think the prospect is good for a couple in the near future. Feiter.

Regular meeting of the city coun cil Monday evening. Several parties are getting ready to commence the erection of resi dence buildings as soon as the heated term has abated somewhat. Mr. Foley is figuring on the erec tion of a large brick building on Spruce street on the site at present occupied by his warehouse. It will be covered by a self-supporting mansard roof, making the upper story one large hall about 4ox60 feet in size without the obstruction of supports. Such a hall would be very convenient for many purposes. Harrison W. Garrett, Robert Garrett, Jr., and John W.

He doesn't know the exact year of his birth, can't read or write, was born a Virginia slave, and had al ready saved two persons from drowning. He looks modest and innocent. Electric Bitters.

During a terrific thunder and rainstorm this morning, Charles Hurst, of I'ort Pierce, took his family into a cyclone cellar and went out to take a last look at the storm. While at the window he was struck by light ning and killed. A hole as large as a pea was found in his head. All the bones were melted, and his body had turned perfectly black. Thos. E. Powell, the democratic nominee for Governor of Ohio is 43 years old. He is of Welsh descent and was born at Delaware, Dele ware counto, Ohio. While a stu dent at the Ohio Wesleyan universi ty, in 1864, he enlisted as a private in an Ohio regiment and served four months. Subsequently he gratuated, and, having studied law with Colonel W. Reid formed a partnership with him. His polit ical career began in 1872, when he was a speaker for Greeley. In 1875 he was nominated for attorney gen eral and had the distinction of a defeat bv a smaller majority than that of Governor William Allen. Contrary to his wish, he was noxii inated for Congress in 1882, and was defeated br General James S. Robinson. He reduced the Repub lican majority to 400.
