Mr. Wherry's bond as post master was received during the week, signed by the necessary bondsmen good and true, and returned to the proper authority for approval. By reference to the list of transfers recorded elsewhere, it will be noticed that real estate was not so dull after all in Jan uary for a mid-winter season. This list does not include U. P. deeds made on contracts, or transfers in trades or bequests, the intention being to give only such as were made for a valuable consideration. Bro. Dyer of the Telegraph has had a "rocky" experience with printers during bis short career as a publisher. A few years will convince him that no reliance can be placed in a tramp printer. John ny, we extend our sympathy. At the council meeting next Monday night the proposition to extend the city limits will be considered, and a right live ly time is anticipated, as all, property holders interested have been invited to be present While there may be a lively time Monday night, there Is a chance for a regular picnic on Tuesday night, when the subject of levying an occupation tax will be taken up, at least that is the inten tion now. All who feel an interest in the question should be there.. In the matter of the dispute between Waldo & Evans and Asa T. Marcellus . m to the ownership of the horse alluded tor last week as alleged to have been stolen, a jury trial was had Wednesday afternoou resulting in a verdict in favor of Marcellus. The case will probably be taken up to the district court. After a week of agony, the inflamma tory rheumatism which so suddenly attacked Kev. Martin, departed with equal suddenness, and the Reverend gentleman will soon be able to resume bis ministerial labors. The county commissioners will make an effort to sell the jail bonds to the school fund at 5 per cent interest at par The bonds run for twenty years and the anthorized interest is six per cent, but as the board of public lands and buildings will take long time bonds at five par cent, it is believed they can be placed in the school fund at "that rate without in any way invalidating the bond. This would be a saving of about eighty dollars per - year on the interest. Col. Hupfer was summoned to serve on a jury Wednesday. Not being anxious to devote half a day to the thankless work of a juror, he wanted to know by what right they could compel a postmaster to serve on a jury. Upon being asked if he had been sworn in as postmaster, he said no; but he wanted to know if he was not postmaster of North Plattej who was, a connundrum that put thej lawyers to arguing and resulted in Mr. Hupfer being excused. C. P. Ross recently found several ex cellent specimens of fauna in Rock Springs coal, the carboniferous formation of the secondary ase. Mr. Ross thinks that the fauna was of tropical growth, but the writer thinks he has seen similar vegetable formations growing in swampy places in the northern states. Mr Bradley the photographer will move his car in a week or so to Carbon , Wyoming where he expects to stay some time, when he will move on to other points in the West. While here Mr. B has made many friends, and he will receive a cordial welcome on his return, which however will not be for some time, as;lt will take ' trom tnree to lour years to make the trip he contemplates.

L. Brown on the south side of School Dist. 44. Social conversation and plays of various kinds were engaged in until 12 o'clock at which time we were allowed to sample some ot tne goodies for which the ladies of this local ity are noted for so liberally preparing on all such occasion. After supper we were so pleasantly entertained that 3 o'clock only found us starting for our homes. The surprise and surprised party alike felt that it had been an evening very piesantiy spent. m m Uouuty Commissioner Walker ip Y arrived home Tuesday mornin When The Tmbuh pf weeks ago nUnr. ..u 1- j:tc Jl I predicted that the Imb mr rty would muni luoniut! a T 131 U tU UiLLCiCll b I L - , j , ,. -i. ,i f , , i be a success it based ltopu Action upon points id the eastern part of the thptn n n i.iifZ5-rustiinir state examining jails and gathering abilities of the ladie fomiif tho differ- in iormation or a practical nature on that subjest that will he useful to the hoard in. building our jail. 1HE jlribune nas on different occa sions suggested that the county should not indulge in the luxury of patent cells, which are expensive and really more ornamental than ent committees.

We this week in New Goods. are giving great drives Ladies' Underwear : r 1 m&t PEOPLE AND EVENTS. G . v. Peterson of Garfield inade us a pleasant call yesterday fornooon. C. II. Babcock, auditor of public ac counts, was m the city Wednesday on official business. t "Con Groner. formerly a well known citizen and for several terms sheriff; of "this county, spent the week in town visiting his numerous friends. Mr. G. now resides in Umuha. . .John Rylaoder of "Walker precinct, was ur town Wednesday. Jtie naraiy ever comes to town, without adaing something to The Tribune's subscription list On this occasion he brought us two subscribers. F. A. Bradv. District Mananer of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, was in the city several days this week. Mr. Bradv's headouarters are at Denver, to which district this part of Nebraska will hereafter be attached. I.K. Neely started Saturday evening on a visit to friends in Illinois, Mrs. N. having preceded him several weeks ago. Since taking the management of the Plant ranch, Mr. Neely has closely applied himself to business and isntitled to and needs this respite from labor. We wish him a pleasant visit. Mr. Ed. Brainard and Miss Minnie Nation took a trip to North Platte a few days ago. It is not our funeral, but we jast want to remark that when a young man draws a bed-room set one day and hies off to the county seat with his best girl the next that the proverbial colored gentleman is secreted somewhere in the wood-pile. Wallace Herald. J. W. Elder, of Medicine, uncle of Bill Elder the political sage, was a caller Thnnday and said he had a desire to subscribe and pay for a "black" Republi can paper. His wish was at once grati fied, and in this connection we would incidentally remark that during the past two weeks the subscription list of this "black" Republican paper has increased at a rate surprising as well as gratifying to the publishers. The Photo Car will remain this month Two propositions will come before the council next week that are of vital im portance to the city, namely the extension of the city limits and the imposition of an occupation tax. We believe it is only just and eouitable that the city limits should be extended. Property lying ad iacent to the city which has been made valuable by reason of the growth of the city has heretofore borne but a small pro- i r j i i i r a. a: portion oi iue uurueus ui uiauuuu uuui pared with inside property. The same causes mat nave increased tne vaiue or city property has enhanced the price of contieuous land, and will continue to do so. wnere it is oenenitea so airecuy oy improvements in the town, justice seems to point to a share of the burdens of gov ernment. Another subject that will be considered is the scheme of levying an occupation tax . At the present time the propriety of such a tax is questionable : even in flush times it would not be popular, and should only be levied in cases of emergency. Every one is aware of the fact that money has been very scarce during the past four months, and in spite ot the increase in population, cash trade has not been up to the average. Profits have been, small. Is it good policy to add to the burdens of business men under such circumstances? A reduction would be more in order. If the council looks at the question fairly, it would seem that ways and means can be provided without increasing taxes. A very good plan, and one of the best that can be suggested to accomplish this, is to reduce expenses. The Tribune trusts that the entain- ment to be given by the school children tnis evening win oe wen patronized, as the object is worthy and commendable. However, in view of the changes that have recently taken place and of the large sums that have already been raised, would it not be fully as charitable to devote the porceeds to the relief of our own indigent and needy? of whom we have a few by reason of sickness in some cases and inability to procure work in others. Later. The entertainment has been postponed until the evening of the 22d. As the law contemplates no hardships shall be worked against any citizen, the county superintendent has decided to hold examination in the town of Wallace for the benefit of thoso teachers living in the south portion of our larire county. Mr. Lancford started for Wallace Thurs day morning, will hold examition Friday and, Saturday, deliver an educational ad dress Saturday evening and will return Monday, the 20th. W. A. Bradley wishes to inform you that he will only remain here the rest of this month, and will not return for three years as ne intends working through to the coast. If you want good work at Omaha prices $3 and $4 per dozen come in at once. -In view of the fact that nearly all the awning posts have been removed from business streets, would it not be a good plan to erect some hitching posts They would be very handy, especially for loafers, &c, if not for hitching purposes. A lawsuit yesterday afternoon where in it. j? . xorrest was plaintiff and LA. Fort was defendant, occupied the atten tion of nearly all the legal talent in the city. The controversy was in regard to the settlement of partnership affairs. LOCAL BRIEFLETS.

P. local trains are a thing for North Platte, but the Omaha Republican seems to think they are a big thing for Omaha too. On the morning of tho 4th it editorially remarked : "A Big Thing for Omaha." "The Republican has the pleasure of announc ing this morrning the new arrangement ot tne Union Pacific for local tram ser vice, which is to so into effect next Mon day. The arrangement is by all odds the most complete and in every way import ant regarding local trains ever made by any road entering this city. The equip ment for the new trains will be the finest.

The time for the city election is ap proaching, but so far there has been but a small amount of talk on the subject. So far as candidates are coucerned, this family paper is not in favor of drawinjr party lines. We Ijave a State and Nation al canvas before us, and before the sum mer is ovej- we ate Ukply to get all the agitation on political subjects we want. and we see no reason why an element of that kind should be .injected into munici pal affairs. Our present Mayor, Geo. W. Hammond, we presume will be a candi date for re-election, although we have no authority to; make such "4' suggestion . Bjs administration is intimately connected with the water works improvements now is-process of construction, and -of course his election may be considered larrfendorse ment of that policy. There Hara other candidates, no doubt, who1 'wtfiiia make excellent representatives for thj? dty, and their friends may brin them out One thing The Tribune will insist-on, and that is a more strict enforcement of the Slocum law on Sunday. It is a fact, bnt perhaps not susceptible of proof in court, that this provision of rKo law it not strictly lived up to. It should be en forced, a course that will reflBivft thn assistance of the leading licensed dealers. Mr. Warner has made nn nrrpntaW clerk 'and if ho desires the officb it is likely he can be elected without onnosi- tion. " If the council reduces tho treasurer's salary, as now seems liknlv asnimnt for that office mav be There will be one miinfilmnn trt ahvt from the First ward, one from the Second ana two from tho Third. As a rule, tax payers are not very anxious to fill these offices, but we presume enough will be found willing to serve their ennntrv in these important places. Transfers of Real Estate.
