Elsewhere will b9 found Gen. Thay-
. rm n m
er's proclamation onering a rewara ior
the apprehension and conviction of the
murderer of Fred Fischer. In this con
nection it is not out of place to refer to
the circumstances of the murder. Fred
Fischer was killed at his home on the
lower end of Brady Island about the 15th
of June last, but the body was not found
until several days later, in an advanced
stage of decomposition. He had been
shot through the head, the ball entering
from behind. After the killing, the body
had been dragged into the brush for con
cealment. Money was not the object of
the murder, as was evidenced by the fact
that no robbery was committed. At the
inquest nothing was elicted that would
iustify an arrest. Only about two things
were manliest ne uau ueu muruereu,
but had not been murdered for money.
To discover the murderer will take time
and expense. Hence the proclamation
of the Governor. Although rather late,
it is yet possible to bring the guilty party
to justice if he can be found. Fischer
was a native of Germany, about 50 years
of age, and was one of tne early settlers
of the county.

County Treasurer Osgood is making
a vigorous effort to collect old delinquent
personal taxes. A good many people are

to the public funds for years that their
fellow citizens should assist in the work.
During the past four weeks The Tri
bune has added over one hundred sub
scribers to its list, an indication that the
paper is not retrograding in the eyes of
the public. The publishers have several
improvements in view which will redound
to the interests of the readers in more
ways than one. To the friends who have
in the past spoken good words for the
paper, we return our thanks, and trust
they will keep up the good work they
have inaugurated.
R. D. Thomson has been employed
by the commissioners to draw plans for

a few years ago . It will stand on the
southeast corner of the block west of the
court house, an excellent location.
Sixty-nine dogs jiavo applied to City
Clerk Warner for license to live another
year. Mr. Warner is very obliging in this
matter, and when a dog comes armed with
three dollars there is no difficulty in the
way, but if they come without the money
thev are turned over to the tender mercies
of the city marshal to be provided for
according to law. ah gooa aogs snouia
have a little money now-a-days, if they
want to enjoy the pleasures of this vain
world.
The scheme for the formation of a
a military company promises success,
about twenty young and ablebodied men
having signified their desire to join. E.
B. Warner is taking a leading part in the
recruiting service and we apprehend that
it will not be long until he will have
acquired the title of Captain. The com
pany will not be organized with less than
twenty-five names, and wo don't believe it
will be a very difficult matter to get forty.
Missionary work being in order, per
haps the street commissioner could do
some good by bending his energies in that
direction. In some of the alleys in the
business part of town the winter's ac

with profit to the general public in a sani
tary sense. The s. c. may not consider
this missionary work, but we think it is;
cleanliness is next, to godliness, and some
people might be converted to cleanliness
as a means of saving grace.

Early in the wek reports 1 Indicated An
sarly settlement of .the djCereBceg be
tween the C. B. & Q. Ry. and the engi
neers, but negotiations of compromise if
any were had evidently cam9 to naught.
The managers of the Q Company are
operating their road, of course with great
inefficiency, but the business is confined
wholly to local traffic. Very few through
passengers are carried, and shippers of
course will not send their goods by that
line. The efforts of the company to make
sther companies recieve. their freight and
cars, may result in favorable edicts by the
courts, but that will not help them much ;
people will not ship by a line whose cars
are liable to be side-tracked and be.
months in reaching their destination. As
long as the strike continues the Q. will be
under a cloud. Already the company hus
sustained immense loss, running up into
millions of dollars. In justice to the pub
lic, if for no other consideration, a com
promise should be effected without, delay
Ruin in a great measure to business of the
people living along the line' of its ' roads,
and bankruptyare inevitable results of the
present policy.
At one time there were fears of a gen
eral strike, but there appears to be no
danger of that now ; the policy of the en
gineers is changed. The sympathy of the
general public has been with them from
the start, but a general strike would lose
them this moral support. By pursuing
their present policy they will attain their
ends and retain the support of the people.

The profession of an engineer is one
of the hardest and perhaps the most
hazardous of occupations. To gain tho
position, sin average of seven years as
apprentice and fireman is required, aud
when he finally attains the object of his
years of toil, he holds his position only by
a thread liable to be snapped at any
moment by a superintendent or manager
on the slightest accident over which the
engineer possibly had no control. After
the long years of hard and hazardous toil
to which he has been subjected before pro
motion, he is fitted for no other business.
He knows nothing about the transactions
of the various branches of merchantile
business ; his peculiar occupation has con
fined his knowledge almost exclusively
to that line. Is it not just then that the
hazards of his callings should receive
adequate compensation? His responsi
bilities are great; the property of the com
pany and the lives of the passengers are
largely In his keeping. Is he not entit
led to something more than the paltry
reward of the common day laborer? The
general public think that he should, and
hence the sympathies of the people are
with the engineers in their strike on the
Burlington for their rights. We trust that
they will soon bo secured.
The $1.00 Rate.
The success of last fall's experiment
warrants us in continuing the One Dollar
Rate, where paid for in advance, but this
means strictly in advance. We ar will
ing to send the paper out on time, and
will cheerfully carry accounts until sub
scribers feel able to pay, but we cannot
afford to do this at the dollar rate. Where
not paid in advance, the price will by 1.50
per year.
We want a few more subscribers. We
csnnot offer pianos, organs, chromos, &c,
for clubs, but any one sending us five new
names will receive the paper gratis one
year.
Remember tlie paper is aevoteu almost
exclusively to home and neighborhood
news. We want to give everything of
local interest to our readers in every part
of the county. To this end, we earnestly
solicit correspondence from every pre

The North Platte Creamery
Will be ready to receive cream between
April 20th and May 1st. Parties who have
cows are requested to send in their names
ana state the number of cows they expect
to milk. The present outlook is that the
price of cream will be from 15 to 18 cts
per gauge. A gauge will make one pound
of butter, we will pay as much as any
cre.amery in the state. Farmers should
milk all the cows they own; there is
money in it. ".

W 0, N, I, SPOOL ra,
This cotton is the OLD RELIABLE
CLARK'S THREAD upon white spools,
never otherwise. Ladies of North Platte
call for it. It has become very popular
and is the smoothest running cotton on
the sewing machine and for hand use is
the best. Once used always used. This
cotton cannot be sold for less than five
cents a spool retail. Dealers who sell
for less does a stupid business. Ask
your dealer3 for this famous cotton.
