in the building next to Mrs. Gillett's
boarding house.
Reserved seats for the home minstrel
,skow are now on. sale at Thacker's. Get

McEvoy and Haughey display con
siderable ingenuity in their show window
decorations this week. These gentlemen
believe in showing goods to best advantage.
A drunk and disorderly citizen was
run in "Wednesday night and is now work
ing out a fine and costs to the amount of
$7.50 on the streets.
According to the old sign in vogue in
the states east of the Mississippi river, we
are to have an early spring. If the ground
abg saw his shadow on the second of
Februray he does not live on these beauti
ful prairies.
For lack of interest the Harmony
clab disbanded at its meeting Tuesday
Teming and is now a defunct organiza"
tion. This is be regretted as had it con
'tiaued much good would have resulted.
, A sermon in the interest of education
Trill be preached in the Presbyterian
church next Sabbath morning and a con
tribution in behalf of the Presbyterian
Board of Education will be taken.
Streitz put in his new soda fountain
the early part of the week, and on the
advent of warm weather will deal out the
foaming beverage from one of the hand-
somest fountains in the state.
Workmen have been engaged clearing
away the debris on the corner of Sixth
and Spruce. The Tribune in common
with all good citizens would like to see
an elegant brick business house built on
the site the coming spring.
Last Saturday afternoon the B. I.
Hinman Hose Co., made a run of a block
and a half, reeled oil 500 feet of hose and
had water shooting from the nozzle in
just four minutes. While the above is
good time the boys expect to do better
after more practice.
At the last meeting of the building
and loan association, ten shares were sold
to W. J . Patterson at 35 per cent, four to
Otto Anderson at 35J and three to Mrs.
Mathews at 36 This is evidence that the
"root of all evil" is in good demand.
Housekeepers will draw little consol
ation from a knowledge that potatoes are
likely to be scarce the balance of the old
potato year. Advices from farmers
indicate that large quantities buried in
holes have frozen. The price is growing
higher.
J. S. Hoagland was up to Paxton
Saturday to defend the parties charged
with the assault upon Fred Pierson. He
got two of the accused parties discharged,
and like all good lawyers, he believes
when it comes to trial the rest of his
clients will go free.
Some time ago Mrs. Crane, of Lodge
Pole, daughter of Lu Baker and well
known in this city by the older residents,
received an injury on the head that
proved quite troublesome. Thursday
v morning Dr. Dick was summoned to go
up immediately, the case having assumed
a bad phase.
E. W Hammond is now snugly
quartered in the Ottman building, having
. iXaovai his stock the early part of the
j wejjE. He has now superior advantages
lorUisplayihg "his goods and Tils "trade'
will no doubt be materially increased.
. Bchmalzried, the cigar manufacturer,
occupies the room vacated by Mr. Ham
raond. The weather in this part of Nebraska
for the last ten days of January was all
that could be desired in fact Nebraska
seemed to be on her good behavior to see
what she could do in the way of produc
ing an article of weather equal to any
thing that can be turned out by balmy
Italy or sunny California. When Nebraska
tries, she is hard to excel in this line, and
the same can sometimes be said of the
other extreme.
At a meeting of the Woman's
Christian Union held Monday evening
the' following officers were elected:
President, Mrs. W. H. Ritner; Vice
President, Mrs. C. H. Gordon- Secretary,
Mrs. W. H. McDonald; Treasurer, Mrs.
H. M. Kirby; Directors. Mrs. McNamara,
Mrs. W. B. Conklin, Mrs. H. M. Gray,
Mrs. Chas. McDonald and Miss Clara
Federhoof.
Owing to large shipments from the
plains, the Western hay market is over
stocked, the bottom having dropped out
Local shippers are therefore obliged to
hold their hay for a time. In the spring
when farmers are busy in the field, the
supply will not be so great. Then ship
pers will be able to send forward their
stock with prospects of receiving a fair
profit.
The attendance at the Methodist
revival under the leadership of the pastor,
Rev Geo. Martin, is large every evening,
and the interest is growing stronger.
Quite a number have already professed
religion, while the power is strongly
working upon many others. During the
latter part of the week Rev. Geo. H. Mc
Adam of Lodge Pole, has assisted in
the work. The meetings will continue
through the next week.
Referring to the vault for the treas
urer's office alluded to last week, in
justice to Mr. Thompson, who made the
estimate, it is proper to explain that there
were two vaults figured on instead of one,
aad tkat the cost also included the build
lug of a new stairs and the other necessary
i alteration Also iron frames and doors
"from abroad, with patent . combination
locks. This puts the subject in an entirely
diferent light Mr. T did not make
close figures,- but estimated the cost
'between ten and.tuelve hundred which
is certainly as low as The Tribune
"kttilding bureau" would care to under
take the job.
A. J. Tatum, who was arrested a
start time ago for incest, waived examin
ation and Justice Hawley held him to bail
w the sum of $750. The charge is so
serious and revolting, and in this case up
to the time of arrest, so beclouded with
uncertainty, that The Tribune did not
refer to the matter, although mis
cognizant of all the steps taken in the
case, preferring to give the evidence on
the preliminary examination. His sister
is about to become a mother, and the
charge is that he is the author of her con
dition. If guilty, the full punishment
authorized by law is not too severe for
such a crime. Not being able to furnish
the required bond, the accused is in jail.
Today is the 4th of February. The
tine for the annual performance of send
ing a valentine to your dearest friend or
meanest enemy will come along in just
about ten davs. Already the cheap prints
that are supnosed to convey a large
aaacmnt of wit "are making their appear
ance. In the interest of Christianity and
relied feelings, The Tribune again
eaters its protest against these horrid
caricatures. Illustrations representing
the higher and nobler feelings, of human-
rie sources of pleasure and an honor
"ait. By an encouragement of the
fraavtifnl and refined, the coarse and
vulgar will gradually be superseded.

patronize him.
The council will convene in regular
session Monday evening. Business
relative to the hose houses will likely be
considered, besides other matters of
interest
The county commissioners will not
meet until the 13th, to which time they
adjourned Several inquiries by people
in the county relative to the date led to
this item.
The fourth regular hop of the Apolo
club took place at Lloyds opera house last
evening, the members" as usual haying a
very enjoyable time. This is the last hop
previous to Lent, after which the series
will be completed.

Nesbitt & Grimes have renovated
their office over Foley's store, dividing the
room into two apartments, one to be used
as a consultation office and the other for
public business. They have very neat
quarters.

On Wednesday night a neHro in the
employ of Paxton & Ware while stealing
a ride on a freight train either fell or wis
pushed off a car near Ogallala, receiving
injuries that proved fatal an hour after
the accident occurred. Sheriff DePriest
was here the following day seeking in
formation as to who had charge of the
train.
The Star Clothing House and Boot
and Shoe store makes its bow to the pub
lic in The Tribune this week. Mr.
Otten's well known reputation for filling
every promise can be relied upon. Now
is the time to get a good supply of foot
wear.
Farmers throughout the country
should follow the example of those living
on the table south of the city who meet
each week and exchange views on ques
tions pertaining to agriculture. Such so
cieties are of great value to farmers.
Nesbitt & Grimes present their card
in The Tribune this week, to the forma
tion of which partnership we referred
last week. Both gentlemen are well
knowri in this community. Mr. Nesbitt
is the :ity and county attorney and Mr.
Grimes was late register of the land office.
Mrs. Mary O'Rourko, wife of the late
Col. P. J. O'Rourke, died at her home
near Cottonwood Springs in this county,
on Monday Jan. 30th at noon, after a
lone: illness, a?ed nearly sixty-ei?ht'ears.
The funeral took place Tuesday, the ser
vices being conducted by Rev. Father
Conway. By permission of the war de
partment the deceased was buried by the .
side of her husband in the McPherson,

Over four years ago James Langley
loaned an" east-bound tramp twenty-two
dollars, taking as collateral five hundred
shares in a Colorado mining concern.
Nothing more was heard of the tramp un
til Thursday when Mr. Langley received
a postal card written by him and dated at
Omaha stating that he would give Mr. L,
five times the amount of the loan if he
would return the same, indicating that the
stock had taken an upward shoot. Mr. L.
feels that his investment has proven a
good one. and is willing to make more
loans at the same rate of interest.

Last fall while the New 1 ork Veteran
Firemen were passing through the city
they presented T. C. Patterson with a
picture of the members of the organiza
tion. This week Mr. P. announced his
intention of giving it to the First ward
hose boys, but the members of the other
teams filed objections and asked that the
three teams have a running contest for it.
After due consideration Mr. Patterson
concluded this would be no more than
fair and acceded to the request. The
date for the contest has not yet been set
Miss EUa Shattuck, the schoolteacher
who was caught in the late blizzurd in
Dakota and saved herself by crawling in
to a hay stack, resides in Seward in this
State. Both her legs were so badly froz
en that we understand they have been am
putated. Of course this leaves the poor
girl in a terrible condition for life, excit
ing the sympathy of everybody. Num
erous contributions in the shape of money
have been sent her and are now being
raised; but money will not restore her
feet and legs she will be a helpless crip
ple for life. Miss Shattuck's parents are
very worthy people. Her father was a
soldier, and like mest soldiers is poor.
Rev. Geo. W. Martin of this city is well
acquainted with Mr. Shattuck and family.
Our people have the assurance that con
tributions for them will be worthily be
stowed. ,
The eclipse of the moon Saturday
evening last took place according to the
previously arranged program. We have
noticed that when astronamers get up a
program for a matinee of this kind it
always takes place according to arrange
ments. There is no postponement on
account of the weather. Like the proph
ecies of our weather bureau, the thing is
infallible, yet the weather may interfere
somewhat with the success of the show.
In the present case, however.in this locality
everything was auspicious for the obser
vation of the eclipse. The moon entered
the shadow of the earth before it was
fairly dark, the contact being on the lower
side, passing up and almost centrally over
the moon. In passing oft the view was
grand and gave a good opportunity to
compare the relative size of the earth and
moon. Taking the segment of the circle
of the shadow, the diameter was evidently
almost three diameters of the moon. The
earth is nearly 8,000 miles in diameter,
the moon about two; thus the shadow
would decrease about 2,000 miles in
diameter at the distance of 240,000 miles
from the earth, the sun being so much
larger than the earth, about 800,000
miles in diameter. If there are intelli
gent inhabitants on the moon, they must
have felt considerably surprised to be shut
n fwim thn litrht of the sun. unless thev

Miss Freeman, the storm heroine, has
received nine offers of marriage from
strangers, one of whom is credited with
being a resident of this city. Search has
failed to enlighten this scribe as to the
name of the North Platte man, but cir
cumstances strongly point to I. A. F. who
is always ready to recognize true heroism.
If North Platte is to have a base ball
club this summer, she should make pre
parations to enter the state league. Base
ball enthusiasts of this city know by ex
perience that there is little honor and no
money in running a nine and there will
probably be trouble in getting some ono
to accept the position of manager.

The weather yesterday was different
from what The Tribune bureau intended
that it should be. The prophet connected
with this establishment finds it much
harder to control the weather during leap
year than on other years. A female
prognosticator has been ordered from the
ea3t with the expectation that she can
control the elements to the satisfaction of
all.
Cold weather had considerable effect

There is every indication that the spring
will witness lively transfers of this class
of property, as those who have been hold

not only have to pay higher prices but
they lose the benefit of thedvance. The

The United States Mercantile Protective
Association.
The above association was organized in
1882, the main office being at 53 Tribune
building, New York. The object is to
facilitate the collection of debts, and to
inform members respecting persons who
habitually do not pay.
It is now in successful operation in
every state and territory in the United
States and Canada. By the use of their
system the creditor deals directly with his
debtor, collecting a larger per centage of
his old accounts than by any other pro
cess. Accounts of ten and twenty years
standing having been collected, the system
is perfect in all its workings, the poor but
honest debtor has nothing to fear but the
professional dead beats will have to come
to time or their names will be sent to
every town and city in the United States
for the protection of members of the
association. Entirely shutting o'ff their

Social and Theatrical.
The early commencement of Lent has
aooarentlv bunched entertainments
rather closely together during the coming
two weeks, which' will have a'tendency to
make time drag lightly on tlje hands of
our people.
This evening; Saturday tne 4th, the
Osrallala Charitable Association will
present the comedy ot Maoei ueatn at
the opera house. This entertaipment will
undoubtedly be far more creaitaoie tnan
usually expected irom amateur compan
ies. As tne proceeds;- alter paying ex

purposes, the visitors shouldibe greeted

nature of the drama "Hene," with the
accent on the "e" the scene being located
in France. ,From the. way It has been re
ceived throughout the country we should
udge it to be highly entertaining.
Friday evening, Feb. 10th, is announced
as the evening on which the ladies will
give their leap year party at the
opera house, and being acquainted with
entertaining qualities possessed by the
gentler sexl of this city, The Tribune
feels safe in predicting that the affair will
be the social! event of the winter season.
It is expected that about 75 couples
will be in attendance.
On the evening af the 14th, (St. Valen
tine's day) G. R. Hammond Hose Co. No.
1, will give a minstrel entertainment at
the opera house. The popularity of the
boys insures a big house but the merit
of the performance will be a stronger in
ducement to lovers of fun to attend, for
there will be no end to the fun.
A Serious Accident.
Friday evenin last about 4 o'clock U.
A. Daugherty, hile making some re
pairs in the opera house, had occasion
to go up to the ceiling to remove
some hooks in front of the stage to
which the trapeze attachments had been
fsstened during the Wizard oil perform
ances. The ladder used for the purpose
is an ordinary ladder with a support
attached as is usual in step-ladders, in fact
it is a large step-ladder, the distance from
the floor to the ceiling being twenty fet
This ladder, was raised to the proper
place, butMrl Daugherty neglected to tie
the two parts together at the bottom to
keep them from spreading, a rope being
used for that purpose. He ascended to
the top, but hardly had he commenced
work when the feet of the ladder com
menced to spread and he was thrown to
the floor, striking on his leftside, the
head striking the floor just over the left
eye and temple, producing concussion of
the brain. The little finger of the left
hand was broken, and as would naturally
be supposed, he was considerably bruised
all over. (. Aa J.iopt aboriginally

At the time of tkei fall Charley Hupfer

he was conveyed home in an unconscious
condition. For several days he was in a
precarious state, but for the past four days
he has been rapidly improving. The
spine is not injured; consequently the
brain will in a short time recover its
normal condition.
Later. Ou Thursday ,Mr. Daugherty
had a slight back-set, jbut as we go to

Conway fc Keith present to the pub
lic gaze this week a fine array of Britannia
ware. One great card for this ware is
that alkali water will not rust it and will
not tarnish, always looking as bright as
the day it was purchased. The tea and
coffee pots posses the patent convex
removable strainer before the aperture of
the spout, which can easily be removed,
cleaned and replaced. For the quality of
goods the prices are very low.
The photograph car will remain at least
