The storm evidently had a telling
effect on the laying tendencies of hens, as
there was a scarcitv of eggs for several
da's this week. The famine in this pro
duct did not, however, raise the price.
We have made the announcement
several times, but will do so once again
for the benefit of those who are under
a wrong impression. The Spring term of
district court will not commence until the
11th of April.
C. C. Hawkins, who came in from
the ranch Thursday, says the last storm
was pretty rough on cattle, especially as
the stock of feed is getting low and econ
omy in this direction must be used. His
cattle, however, have done well this
winter, not losing a single head..
The county commissioners, in order
to accommodate the people who have bus-
I iness before the the board, will hereafter
hold adjourned meetings on tu Oret
IMondav1 in each month. There has been
a demand for some time that meetings be
held at stated periods.
Foley has decided to continue hi3 sale
ten days,"on account of the storm having
prevented a good many coming In from
the country who desired to do so. It is
really astonishing what a large amount of
goods a small amount ot money will buy
at this sale.

The indications are that to-morrow
will be a pleasant day and this religious
journal suggests that the right and proper
thing for its readers to do is to attend di
vine services. Sermons appropriate to the

The commissioners of Proatiar
county have decided not to 'float -aaw
saloon licenses this year. This will not
prevent saloons where there are organized
villages, as municipal authorities have
exclusive control in such matters. Some
of the "villages" appear very anxious to
secure whiskey, judging from the fact
that Eustls contains sixteen sections of
land within its limits . Isn't it strange to
to what expense and inconvenience people
will go to secure a small quantity of the
"critter!" But such is life in the far
west. y
A fire was discovered about 8 o'clock
Wednesday morning in the upper story of
the Bratt-Ormsby block on Front street,
in a room in 3Ir. Bratt's part of the
building, occupied by 3Ir. Carter, a brake
man and extra conductor. It appear that
Carter had gone out on the road leaving a
hot fire burning, and a barrel of kindling
standing near the stove. The kindling
took fire, and hence the miniature con
flagration. The alarm was given and the
fire department turned out promptly, but
the fire was extinguished with buckets
.before the department could get ready for
operations. A hole was burned through
the floor and the contents of the room
were damaged some, the whole, lots
possibly amounting to 15 or 2-0 dollars.
The annual complaint comes up from
the people living down towards Cotton
wood about the condition of the road in
the vicinity of Bratt's ranch. Ther com
plain that there is a lane one mile in
length on the north side of which there is
a rail fence, causing the snow to accu
mulate in the lane in great depths. There
is no other passage, and when the snow, is
from two to four feet deep it is with diffi
culty a light span of horses can wallow
through. The claim is made tliaYMr.
Bratt's fence is in the middle of the road,
and if moved to the line there would be
an improvement if not an entire removal
of the difficulty. We believe there is
some dispute about the lines. If it is
within the power of the county commis
sioners to remedy this matter, they should
do so.
The storm that commenced Saturday
night last was the worst we have had
during the winter. We have had worse
storms in this country by far, but this one
coming so late in the season made it very
bad on cattle. Commencing with a sleet,
when the storm came they were thorough
ly wet, and being generally m thin flesh
they were not in condition to stand the
long continued chill. The fall of snow
on the level must have been five or six
inches, at first being heavy and compact,
but the high wind of Sunday and Monday
drifted it badly, the temperature having
fallen considerably lower. Country roads
art in bad shape, almost impassable, and
absolately so for loaded teams. This
coadttion of the roads may be expected
to continue forsoae little. time.

Rev. Dr. Thompson, president of
Mallalieu university called on us Saturday.
Mallalieu is located at Bartley, six miles
earst of Culbertson in the Kepublican
valley, a new town-established and con
trolled by the college association. At
present the population is about 500, the
village being two years old. The unver-
sity is under the patronage of the
Methodist church.
Several of the engines on this branch
are in a very bad shape. The one which
brought the passenger from the east Sun
day was paralyzed on one side, and hud
to be started up with a pinch bar. The
strike is very hard on the public, but
harder on the men in the loss of wages
and the company from loss of trade and
ruined machinery. War is a very costly
experience, but is necessary in some
instances. Wallace Herald.
The report that Isaac Lamplugh had
lost all his carp by reason of the water in
the lakes freezing to the bottom, is incor
rect. It is true, however, that the water
supply of one of the lakes was cut off by
muskrats cutting holes in the ditch, and
the fish in that lake to the number of five
thousand were frozen solid in the ice, but
this does not embrace one-tenth of the
carp in stock. Unfortunately the frozen-
fab wax aet discovered antil-Mie ice cal
thawed and the bodies exposed to the sun,
else they would have been all right for
table use, but as it was they were useless.
Prof, Allwine and County Superin
tendent Langford returned from Fremont
on Thursday night's train, highly pleased
at the success of the teachers' association.
Nearly every prominent educator in the
state was present as well as institute
workers of national reputation. The
work assigned to Lincoln County's repre
sentatives was important and ably sus
tained. The papers taken down by Prof.
Allwine showing the work he is doing in
our schools received the highest com
mendation. As critic and essayist, Mr.
Langford made his mark, receiving warm
congratulations. We were satisfied Lin
coln county would be proud of her rep
resentatives. The prices for Miss Casleton's en
gagement will be 75 cents and $ 1. There
are many who will consider this unreason
able, but her business manager, Mr.
Bradley, who was in town on Wednesday,
remarked and very justly that Miss Kate
CaeUetaa had taken years of hard .work to
attain her present position. She is
acknowledged to be the greatest comed
ienne now traveling and he says it would
be hard if she could only command the
same prices as "Uncle Tom:' the "Georgia
Minstrel's" &c . A dollar invested in the
above will be well spent Ad.
We have a street commissioner who
receives a salary and if it Is not a part of
his duty to see that the ordinance relative
to cleaning sidewalks is enforced, we
don't know what he is hired for. Some
aro very prompt in cleaning snow
from the walks, but there are a few
who were never known to do so
meritorious an act. A small amount of
coercion on the part of officials would do
such people good. A small amount of
invigorating exercise would improve
their health. While on this subject we
might as well growl at the city too for not
cleaning crossings. It is anything but
pleasant to paddle through two or three
inches of mud and slush when a few
moments work would clean it off. Such
work would perhaps furnish employment

there is.no fund for such use is no ex-'
cuse. There should be a small contingent
fund, and there is nearly always some
thing in the poll fund. Clean the cross
ings. Never before were the farmers of
Lincoln county in better spirits with re
ference to forthcoming crops. The snows
of the past month have thoroughly soaked
the ground aad placed it in the beat
possible condition for starting small
grains, giving them a vigorous send off.
Corn and potatoes, however, will occupy
the most attention, being more profitable
than wheat and . oats. Potatoes have
always brought a high price, or at least
a good price, proving one of the most
profitable crops th6 farmer can raise.
While the yield is not generally so great
per acre as in some of the- potato
growing states, the quality is good,
always commanding a ready sale. Of all
the products raised by the farmer, corn of
course is the staple. "Corn is king." It
makes fat beef, fat pork, fat poultry
indeed, as a rule, the prosperity of the
farmer may be measured by the size ef
his corn crib. There will be thousands
of acres planted this year where
none were planted last. The onion
crop is somewhat neglected. Judging
from the demand, it mast be profitable.
If properly planted and cultivated, we
are informed that it does reasonably well
in this climate. There has never been
enough raised in the county to supplv the
local demand, large quantities being
shipped in from-both Omaha and Denver.
We should certainly raise enough for
home consumption. There are a number
of other crops that can be produced with
profit Diversified farming is the best

The item in last week's paper to the
effect that the Water Works Company was
establishing a plumbing establishment on
Locust street was an error. The company
will not have any plumbing shops of its
own, but leave that work in the hands of
individuals, the work being subject to
the company's inspection and approval.
This was the understanding of The Trib
une at the time, but the item was the
work of a reporter who had been misi n
formed. It is hard to please everybody all the
time. A few are already finding fault
because wo are having too much moisture
for the present. Such people should refer
to Massachusetts, New York, Ohio and
especially to Alabama in portions of which
regular Noah's floods are in order. The
thorough wetting that the ground is now
receiving is almost an assurance of good
crops. We can put up with a little in
convenience for the public srood.

Our, Candidates.
In addition to those who made their an
nouncements last week, we have quite a
number of new members in our family of
candidates.
For member of the Board of Education
W. W. Conklin announces that he Is a
candidate for re-election. Mr. C. has
been secretary of the board for a number
of years, and perhaps has made as few
enemies as any one possibly could who
undertakes Jto perform the delicate duties
of that office. Butler Buchanan is also a
candidate. As bead salesman and book
keeper for Mr. Grady and later as deputy
county treasurer, Mr. B. has shown his
fitness to fill important positions by con
servative (nought and action. Hon.
Beach I. Hinman and John Bratt are also
candidates. Both of the latter gentlemen
are old and highly honored citizens in
fact all of the candidates are among our
best people, and whoever is elected the
people are assured of good men on the
board.
Mr. Hawley's announcement for coun
cilman from the first ward came in too
late last week to secure comment. Well
posted in public affairs, of Round judg
ment, he is among the best men who can
be selected for the place.
For Councilman in the Second Ward
C. F. Iddings is the candidate so far as
kndvn at present without opposition. A
successful business man, he will bring
good practical experience to serve hlat ia
the administration of city affairs.
In third ward Prof. Klein is the candi
date and be will make an excellent mem
ber of the council. In the council they
sometimes have music in which discord
is a prevailing feature, but if thev have
music when the Professor is there it will
be full of harmony.
For Police Judge J. J. O'Rourke has
consented to be a candidate. As County
Judge, Judge O'Rourke is in position to
attend to the. duties of the office with
facility and comfort to those who may be
brought before him for misdemeanors.
Charles Monagan, candidate for Coun
cilman in the First ward is a representa
tive man, and will make a careful legis
lator. He is well qualified for the position
and if elected will serve his ward and the
city in an able manner.

-ine rouowiag irom a southern exchange is a
well written article upon the well known quali
ties of the popular artist Miss Kate Castleton:
"Thirteen hundred people chipped in and gave
Kate Castleton a Christmas gift at tho Memphis
Theatre yesterday afternoon. "They say Kate is
awfully naughty, but if all sinners could be as
cute as she prudery would be a drug in the mar
ket," said one lady to another as they communed
together in the shadow of their monumental
hats. "But she isn't naughty at all," returned
the other. "She only shows us what hypocrites
we are." "Well, so long as she doesn't call any
names we can always apply what she says to
Borne other woman. That's one comfort." And
just then a burst of applause announcing the ap
pearance of the subject of these remarks put an
end to them. The second speaker was right.
Kate is not at all improper. She 6imply suggests
in her own inimitable way that things are not
what they seem. She is now in the fullness of
her charms of person and method, and exercises
all her forner spell upon the audience. Her new
songs are as taking as the old, and "Excuse me,
I'U Tell You Mo More," makes as pronounced a
hit as that piquant aforetime ditty. "For Good
ness Sake Don't Say I Told You." Her support
is firflt-clasR." Memphis Avalanche. Kate Cas
tleton will appear at the opera house Wednesday
