Charley Leeder is doing a fine busi ness at the North side market. He keeps the best and knows how to please his patrons. H. M. Grimes arrived home from Wash ington Sunday morning. He thinks - the prospects for-tne nassage oi tne juaiCMt district bill are good. A good many people -were in town this week from Wallace and Red Willow precincts to buy goods. They know where they can get the cheapest goods Josenh Kalis, of North Loud, was in town this week on land business. The land in Question is in Blaine county near Brewster. He had to travel by rail about 230 miles. Conrad Scharman, late of Lincoln, has accepted a position as dry goods clerk. m Foley's store. The young man is well and favorably known here. The water work company has not yet commenced on the deep wells, Mr. Walk er, who has the contract, not being able to come out. He is expected in a week or so. The Masonic sociable was postponed on account of the storm until last evening, when the members of the order and a few invited friends enjoyed a very pleasant evening. There is considerable inqniry for work horses, but buyers are inclined to hold off until warm weather. Those hav ing horses to sell will find that it pays to let the fact be known through The Tribune. Two wagon loads of brooms came in from Calaway, Custer county, last Mon- rinv On thinf that North Platta onht fc. - o to have is a broom factory. Lincoln county is noted for the good quality of broom corn straw it produces. We are informed that we have a real live author amongst us a young man writing a novel which is soon to appear.

Worthington, of Ogalalla, was in town Monday and as is the case with all visitors, thinks we have a city of metro politan tendencies. C. C, Coates. formerly a land agent of this city, died at his residence near Pax ton on Friday night of last week. The strike on the "Q" system has materially increased passenger traffic on the overland flyer, 4 an additional coach having been added to the train. One of the engines attached to No. 1 Sunday morning jumped the track at the east end of the yard, causing a delay of the train for half an hour. Aug. Anderson of Cottonwood pur chased a fine Durham, cow and calf of Lewis Peterson" this week. Cottonwood is likely to soon become head quarters for nne siock. Every contracter and carpenter in the city is pushed with work already, which is good evidence that when the season fairly opens building operations will be exceedingly lively. A traveling artist has been doing some fine work on saloon mirrers and on show windows in the city. Specimens of his work can be seen at Hupfer's and Laing's saloons. H. T. Crockett sold his residence on east Fifth street this week to Mr. Hansen for fourteen hundred dollars. Consider ing the age of. the building, this is an in dication that city property is not depre ciating. Several wagen loads of movers passed through the city Tuesday. The weather was not very pleasant for trav eling by wagons, but the occupants seemed to be enjoying life. Well diggers and others who contem plate putting down wells and desire tools. &c, should write to M. K. Lewis & Son of Hastings. Examine their advertise ment for particulars.

The fish therein are the pro duct of a days angling by Wm. Whitlock. He has promised to bring us a mess the next time he goes out. Two omissions were made by The Tribune last week which cannot be rem edied by apology. One was the adver tisement relative to Capt. Baker's sale at Cottonwood, which takes place to-day, and the other was relative to seed wheat The State Teachers meeting convenes at Fremont Tuesday. County Supt. Lang ford and Prof. Allwine will represent this county and take parts in the discussions. The reputation of our county will be in good and able hands. The members of the A. O.U.

The gentleman who will act as superintendent is now in the city looking over the ground and get tfng acquainted with the people . The first of several land excursions under the management of Sam Knox, of Princeton, Ills., well known in this city, arrived in Conucil Bluffs Thursday. Lin coln county will no doubt catch a number of these homeseekers. " M. C Lindsay is making several im provements in his stable on Front street, putting in floors, &c. He has a number of good horses for sale, and those who contemplate purchasing should see him first. The orange sociable at the residence of Mr. Robinson Thursday night was largely attended by the Methodist people and their friends. It is needless to say that it was a pleasant gathering. Mr. and Mrs. Robinson spare no pains to make people- at home when gathered in their house. John Neary, we understand, has settled with John Hinman. thus removing one of the incumbrances in the way of improving the valuable lot on the corner of Spruce and Sixth streets. Mr. Neary believes he will have up a brick block before fome of his neigh bors who have been talking about build ing for years. The coal trade has been brisk during the past ten days, and the supply was good. Iddings received seven cars of soft and one car of Pennsylvania hard at one time. Freights are right brisk too, judging from the fact that he had to pay $189 for transporting one car of hard coal. C Bradshaw, of Walker precinct, was in town Saturday, having brought up his daughter to pass examination for a teacher's certificate, Being an expert fifer, he entertained the old boys at the G. A.

He is an. eatiiusiaadc believer in the agricultural resources of his section. He recommends mixed farming and will cultivate over 100 acres this year. Claus Johnson, f Gaslin, came in Thursday to subscribe for The Tribune, saying "I have been taking another paper but they all say The Tribune is the best and that is what I want." Mr. Johnson is almost a native of Lincoln county, hav ing resided here since he was four years of age. A resident of the First ward, during the snow storm of last Sunday, saw about fifty robin -red -breasts trying to find pro tection in the trees and shrubbery near his residence a sight, our informant says that carried him back to the scenes of "his early youth. The coming of these pets to dwell among us makes settlers from eastern states think that they are still in America. The snow storm of Sunday night and Monday covered the plains from Omaha to Cheyenne, the snow fall being five or six inches on the level, but as the wind blew at the rate of about forty miles an hour, it drifted badly, making travel on country roads quite difficult for several days. Railroad trains on the Union Pa cific were more or less behind time, the passengers being generally pulled by double headers. It was not cold, the mercury on Monday morning being 28 above zero. The play of Rory O'Moore rendered by the St Patrick's literary society on the evening of St. Patrick's Day, was a little too heavy lor the members of the society to handle with ease. The character of Rory O'More was well sustained by Frank Redino nd, his actin and g estures being good, while'his form is well fitted to the character. A fault, common to ama tuers, was speaking in too low a voice. On the stage the actors should talk to the man in the back part of the house. The singing was good, especially the operetta "We will have to Mortgage the Farm." The net receipts of the evening were about $75, which is to be used to repair the old church , St. Patrick's Hall. "While taking a trip to North Platte this week we had a chat with some half-dozen farmers on the other side of the sand hills and were agreeably surprised to learn that even within ten miles of the county seat they are coming here to do their trading. They say enough can be saved in the difference of prices to easily pay for the thirty mile drive. Selling goods under North Platte's nose and buying corn from Hayes Cuntre granaries surely warrants our boast that the little winged insects known as flies do not use Wallace as a roosting place." The above from the Wallace Herald sounds very pretty and no doubt tickles the editor nd a portion of its readers amazingly, but there is a woeful lacking of an essential element, truth. While the editor was taking the trip aforesaid he whistled to keep up his courage and spirits, the half dozen interviews being tne result of his imagination. When the item was written, the following quotati ons tell better than words what farmers will do. In North Platte they could get 30 tn 35 cents for their butter; in Wullana 1S MABMWW cents and hard to find buyers at that. meir eggs Drougnt zu cents per dozen in North Platte, while in Wallace the sale was hard at 10 cents. North Platte gave them 60 cents per bushel i'or potatoes; 10. bushels supplied the local market in Wallace. Poultry was worth $4 per dozen in the Platte; a half dozen birds glutted the Wallace market. And so with everything the farmer produces. The Platte is his market and he knows it. A fine crayon portrait of Mrs. A. Ferguson, executed by her daughter Mrs. Emma Babb, is displayed in Conway & Keith's show window tku weak. ML Broke Jail. Jack Tatum,confined in the county jail on the chare of incest, broke out Wednesday night and made his escape. tie had not oeen iound or any trace obtained .of him up to Friday morning. .Although the lau has often been condemned, Jack is the only prisoner who has escaped, from it in a number of sears. For holding prisoners it is consid e'red better than the patent steel cells, out of which They generally walk at leisure. .With the aid of an iron bar whtrn he secured some way. Tatum broke down the wooden "partition between his and another I cell, that was unlocked and thence escaped do the corridor. There is reason to 9 ' ..... some one near town until tne searcning parties have returned, when he will quietly slipaway. Tne Jail Bonds Sold at Far. The State Board of Public Lands and Buildings has agreed to take the jail bonds avpar at 5 per cent interest, the money .coming irom tne permanent scnooi ruod. 1 his is a good sale considering the close ness of the monev market, and will be considerable saving to the county, the" vote bywhich they-'were authorized allowing u jjct.i;euL lumresi. ui ue num. i.1 also shows a confidence in the resources of the county that is flattering. Indeed, the credit.of the county is in excellent shape. It has never failed to pay interest on its bonds or state taxes when due, a fact that goes a, long way with financial men when a, county, goes into the market for a " loan. Among The Churches.

Mayor Hammond makes his announce ment as fi candidate to the -office he has filled the past two years. He believes in progress and has been active in urging the adoption of a system of water works. In some- tbiugs he is conservative, perhaps too much so. E. B. Warner is again a candidate: for city clerk. "Doc" has made a good clerk, and it is likely he wiil be returned. J or tne responsible office of treasurer B. C. Dixon will go before the people as a candidate. Mr.. Dixon has. served in the council more or . less for the oast five years, and he .thinks he is entitled to pro motion, an idea with which most of his fellow, citizens will coincide. -rWhUe the office ofcity engineer is.oae riot-lBoked upon as of much' imporUftee, kt requ ires , neVerth eless.a person of. tkHl .properly.
