For a small consideration The Tribune will be pleased to announce the names of aspir ants, and it always takes pleasure -in seeing its mends "get there," which they generally do. Ben Clinton came near meeting witn a serious accident at Ogallala Wed nesday evening while coupling cars; The engineer misunderstanding the signal backed the train while Mr. C. was adjust ing tne air pipe, ms right nip was caught between the draw heads, but fortunately a link prevented them, coming together; as it is however, Clinton's bin' received a severe bruise and he will be laid up for some time. The most welcome visitor who has arrived this spring is tne room, more familiarly known as robin-redbreast. This name will hardly apply to the bird that frequents these plains, for the breast is nearer brown, and he might, be. called robin-brown breast. But he .is the welcome robin nevertheless, the harbinger of spring and civilization. The first specimen we saw on Monday at Mr. J. E. Baker's residence where he has been a regular sojourner since.

Grand and Petit Jurors. Following is the list of grand and petit jurors drawn for the April term of court: GRAND JUB0E8. The; county commissioners of Keith cofihlyh'ave recently decided that they lave no power to establish a voting pre cinct containing a larger territory than four townships lying contiguous. They lake their authority from the Compiled statutes of 1885, chapter 18, section 60. If this is law, what effect will it have on the late precinct bridge bond vote in Lincoln county ? Paxton Pilot . The county commissioners of Keith are apparently a law unto themselves. The section referred to does not prohibit the formation of precincts containing a larger amount of territory than fourUtownships, but is intended to govern, the board in the formation 'of sparsely settled precincts, in other words the fifteen voters referred J to shall not cover a larger extent of terri I xory than four contiguous townships when we precinct is urst iormeu. iue ooura may subdivide precincts and alter precinct lines. For instance, North Platte Precinct at one time consisted of sixteen townships, extending from the south to thenorth line of the countv. Our contemporary the NebrasUian says that some lawyer was anxious that the papers of North Platte, should say nothing about their efforts to secure an amendment to the judicial district bill now before the senate committee. We believe that a still hunt in such cases is more effectual than a great hue and cry, but at the same time it is the duty of the papers to give the general news the peo pie expect to learn from the papers what is going on. No amount of secrecy on our part would prevent our movements being known to our opponents, While on this subject we want to call attention to the fact that the lawyers have been rather hard and slow to move jm. this iWbjebt. Asnearly a& the 31st q Decem ber we called attention to the bill, and pointed out that North Platte was the central point and proper place to hold court in this district. Again, on the 21st of January, we gave quite a long article on the subject, showing the vote of the proposed, district and other data. At other times we have urged our people to take action on the subject. Altogether it looks rather cheeky for the lawyers to urge tne papers to say nothing about so important a question. The committee selected to visit Wash ington and urge the interests of North Platte as- a place for holding Federal court started Sunday, expecting to- be gone at least two weeks. The committee consists of the following gentlemen: Hon. B. I. Hinman and H. M. Grimes from North Platte; Judge Heist of Sid- ney; J. McCall, of Plum Creek and a gentleman from Grand Island. By dis patches we notice that Mr- Hinman had arrived in wasnington, pronaniy in advance of the main drlegation. but they are all there before this time Up to yesterday evening no report had been re ceived from them. Letters from our con gressional delegation convev the, informa tion that they are alive to the interests of West Nebraska, not only in this but in other matters The bill -is in the hands of the judiciary committee of the senate, and if it is ever reported we are satisfied that the justice of our demands will be recognized. When the subject was brought to the attention of the county commissioners last week, thev promptly and unanimously passed the following resolution: "Resolved. By the ' board of county commissioners of Lincoln county, tnat in, the event of North Platte being selected by congress as a place for holding U. o. court, that the board will grant the free use of Lincoln countv court house until such time as the gevernment erect a suitable building for such purposes, and hereby tender the use of the same." two weeks ago was passed. a committee was appointed to confer wun Dusiness men in regard to numbering PEolSiEAND EVENTS.

Potter. Thomas J. Potter, Vice President and general . manager of the Union Pacific Railway Co., died at Washinston yester day morning, Friday March 9 th. at 11:15 a. m. As is well known, Mr. Potter had been sick for some time, and had gone east in hopes that a relief from business andenange or climate migut produce a beneficial change For a time his condi tion improved and last reports were that he was all right but this seems to have been a mistake. The direct cause of death is not known here at this writing. Ed Streitz came in from Omaha Wed nesday night and is again found behind the counter in his brother's drue- store hd.

The interest in the Women's Christain Union work broadens and deepens . The field is widening, and there is great need for some building, or home, as a "work centre," from which Christian influence can go out. Today, large numbers would attend an industrial school. Today, we need a home where the friendless, aged and homeless should be cared for. Today. the work could be effectively entered upon of turning back the current of young lives now tending down to death. An attractive reading room, centrally located, would help in this. There is great need of a hall here, with dining room and kitchen attached, where the different denominational- societies could conduct their fairs and festivals, and do away with the necessity of making the churches, "dedicated to the worship of wod," social centres. Uould not this be done under the auspices of the Union ? and could not all these be embraced under one roof? Why cannot such a building be put up ? Cannot the business men of the town be brought to see. that they are spending much money for that which is not bread, and labor for that which profiteth not and as a selfish considera tion be induced to remember that the permanent prosperity of a town depends upon the society and morality of its citizens. And that the society which works to secure this, needs from them such support as was given by Aaron and Hur to Moses at Rephidin. ''And it came to pass when Moses held up his hands Israel! prevailed, and when he letaown hishands Smalek (Satan) prevailed." Who can be brought to consider the ways and means of strengthening the hands of those engaged in this noble work! "And the King's business requireth haste." Foley's special sale advertised on this page is well worth reading. An 18x22 bust picture of W. E. Beach is exhibited in Conway & Keith's show window this week.

Invitations announcing the coming nuptials of L F.

V m. rHt t .! in earnest, as a result on inursaay ine city clerk's office was frequently sought, the omect being to procure license. Tne tax is $3 for a male and $5 for a female dog, and when it comes to depositing the hard iron dollars this looks pretty heavy, giving rise to considerable growling. The impression prevails that the license might have been made less, but this is erroneous, for the statute fixes the tax at not less than the above figures. The weather during the past week has been considerably winter-like indeed, we have had more winter during the ten days of March than we had during the 29 of February- The snow fall of the two days ending Saturday night amounted to about six inches, but it was light, and the entire falL measured by Mr. Byram since the 1st inst. makes only .60 inches of water. In an agricultural point of view the snow has been an excellent thing for the ground, melting gradually as it has without drifting. When it turns warm grain that has been sown will come up promtly and the ground will be in ex cellent condition for other planting. On Thursday there appeared to have been a general storm throughout the northwest, reaching us about 1 o'clock Friday morn ing. The mercury did not fall to zero, however, and there was no snow, Just received at Guy's Place, five barrels of Hermitage Whisky, of the spring 1881. -Telephone communications can be had with Bang's Livery Stable by stepping into btreitz's drug store.
