The commissioners were in session Moadny, but nothing was done towards settling the difficulty with Architect Thompson, in regard to the jail plans. The board meets again to-day. Dariagthe fire Sunday a pressure of lit poaads to the square inch was placed jmi aW aipes andxnaintaiaed. a long time, ftamtaiatiBg the capacity of the pipes aow laid to withstand a high pressure. Perry Sitton resigned his position with Conway & Keith last Saturday and will engage in cabinet making and fine woodworking on his own hook. Few awa are superior to Mr. Sitton in this line. Miss Louise Breternitz has now on haad at her green house in the west part of the city a very large and complete stock of house plants of all kinds and takes this method of asking the public to call and see them, guaranteeing prices to be as low as the lowest. She has also a large collection of garden plants. A. B. Wyman has been offered a position on the Denver & Rio Grande road in Colorado, and went up to Denver the latter part of the week to accept the suae. Mr. W. has resided in this city Many years, and it is with regret we see him depart with the intention of leaving us permanently. The poll books being opened, we are enabled to give the correct number of votes cast by the ladies at the late school election in this city, namely. First ward, 30; Second ward 54; Third ward 18. Total 101. So our unofficial statement made a couple weeks ago was not far out of the way. In digging the trenches for the water mains, water is encountered at a depth of about three and a half feet, perhaps six inches higher than it was last fall . One thing the weather will not be so disagree able as it was during November and the work can be pushed more rapidty. The country north of town is rapidly settling, and as many of the homesteaders are men of limited means and unable to fence their crops, they therefore issue this proclamation warning cattlemen to herd their cattle or the owner will be held responsible for all damage that ensues by cattle running at large. Whites Yucatan. Ask for it at Shep- ard's. The early part of this week was a big time for fires in Nebraska towns. On Sunday North Platte had a small blaze, by way of a starter. On Monday Fre mont led off in earnest with a 75,000 blaze, followed closely by Columbus and one or two other towns with minor fires. At Fremont the stand pipe was empty, making their water-works of no value. The grand jury commenced its ses sion on the afternoon of the 11th. It steadily prosecuted its labors until the 19th a number of indictments having been car ried into court, but only a few of them have been made public. Judging from the long session the people of Lincoln county must be a bad set or the jury a slow working body. W. W. Birge and Lqster Eells have, bought (he Richardson Boyonton hot air furnaces for their elegant residences and Frank Beaman, the popular tinner at Conway & Keith's will superintend the setting of them. Mr. Beaman is an ex pert in this line as well as a worker in tin. If there is any difficult job in the tin line he is invariably consulted. He will always be found at Conway & Keith's. Eells in jelly at Shepard's. Louie Burke made a decided bargain in his purchase of the Wyman property on the corner of Second and Spruce streets. The price was $3,500, and per sonal property to the value of about $150 was thrown in to make good measure. The residence is one of the best finished houses in town, Mr. Wyman having given the inside work especial care and atten tion, expecting it to be his home for many years, the building alone costing over $2,500. The lots if naked are cheap at $1,200. The G. R. Hammond Hose Company had a brief exercise Wednesday evening to test the hose, the running qualities of the buj-s and the power of the pipes to stand a heavy strain. The company ran 800 feet, laid 500 feet of hose and was throwing a stream in one minute' and 14 seconds. We call that pretty fair work lor an amateur company. The first nozzle tried was a one inch, but this did not give satisfactory results. An inch and a quarter nozzle was then attached, when with a pressure of 185 pounds at the water works a stream was thrown 210 feet. All Darties were satisfied with the. test. j French Candies, Fine Fruits, Fresh Vegetables at Shepabd's. Mr. Baker informs us that the cream ery building is nearly completeted and that it will be ready for business as soon as the machinery" can be placed in posi tion, a Dortion of which has not yet arrived. Mr. B. has visited nearly all parts of the surrounding country in the last two weeks. In places near to town the disposition to furnish cream is not so ereneral "q in districts more remote, TTnnrar fnmniinv hflS ftSSUraDCeS Of a good supply at the openin, course it will be largely increase season advances. During the high wind Monday night the city had a narrow escape from a dis-flflo-atinn. About the time thA wind wnc hlnwincr the hardest, W. W Birge happened to pass the Bratt building on Locust street between sixtn ana j? roni JNutinW Hrht in the back room, inves- tintinn nhnwed that the shavings on the floor were on fire. He hurriedly ran across to McDonald's store and procured 41 bucket of water with which be succeed ed in pnttine out the fire, obtaining access through oneof the back windows A few jaoments more and the inside of the structure would have been on fire, and ad the wind got access to it no fire de oartBMBt could have subdued the flames.

His personal property, consisting of revolver, watch, jewelry, and a few trinkets, will be sold to pay the funeral expenses,, the coroner making advertise ment to that effect. Vollmer & Walter are now located at Holyoke, Colorado, where they are doing a flourishing business. As both gutle men were formerly residents of .North Platte, our people naturally feel an interest in their success. Besides not being very well "ourself," we have been short of help this week, consequently are somewhat short of the usual amount of local news. Things will happen thus once in a while. Died.

Miss Bertha and Master Louis Thoelecke will give a masquerade dance and entertainment to their young friends, Monday evening, at their home south of the city. Past Chief Patriarch Rev. Geo. W. Martin will go to Atkinson in this state to deliver the address before the Odd Fel lows on the occasion of the G9th anniver sary of the order, April 25th. Mr. Martin is an eloquent speaker and is also well versed in the history of the order, and an address worthy of the occasion may be expected. Correspondents will confer a great favor by writing names of persons very plainly. If writing is ever so obscure we can decipher it; but we can't guess at a name. There is nothing that makes a man so mad as to have his name printed wrong. Knowing this, we frequently leave out personal items sent us by corres pondents, because we prefer to omit them rather than run the chances of making mortal enemies. Thos. Bateman has k indly left at this office some of the corn that took the pre mium at the county fair last fall, raised by him in Morrow precinct, to be offered as a premium to Triboxe subscribers. It will he given to the first two farmers who subscribe and pay one year in ad vance after the publication of this notice, half to each. It is a fine, fully matured yellow corn, and is highly prized for seed. Motts sweet cider at Shepard's. There never has been a time when so many improvements were in progress in the city at one time as there are at present. Numerous new buildings are in process of building, but they constitute only a portion of the work. New fences, additions to and repainting old buildings, making lawns and planting trees are in progress on ever' hand. In anticipation of waterworks, more trees are being planted than ever before. One dealer has already sold two carloads. These im provements are indicative of prosperity, progress and energy. If there is no law and regulation by which a person can be prevented from driving over the hose when stretched for the purpose of extinguishing a fire, some thing of the kind should be provided at once. On Sunday last several buggies were anven across ine nose, oeing jiih probably without injuring it; but if light' wagons and buggies are permitted to cross heavy wagons have the same privil ege, and would very likelv burst the bose if strongly distended with water. Teams should not be permitted to cross the hose in any case. An ordinance on the sub ject should be adopted. Our Gaslin correspondent evidently has very little faith in the ability to raise fruit in his neighborhood, claiming that if the trees escape the ravages of the gopher the fruit is whipped off by the wind. Ten j'ears ago the same was thought to be true of many places in Nebraska which are now fine fruit.dis tricts. The finest apples we saw at the Omaha fair last fall were raispd near Kearney, only 90 miles east of North Platte, where they have just as much wind and just as many draw-backs it not more than we have here. As for gophers they are easily poisoned and trapped, we have been told by those whd have had experience. We should not be discour aged by one or two failures; the first plantings west of the Big Blue riyer were always failures in Nebraska; but now our finest fruit comes from far west of that. Lincoln county will yet be a good fruit growing district. The Abbey's Dramatic Troupe opened at the Leland Opera House last evening to a large and appreciative audience. The company is a double one the only double company in the world. Two Topsys, two Lawyers, and the most wonderful Eva ever seen on any stage. She is only four years old. She is very pretty, very talented and a delightful little vocalist. B er name is Genie Fursmau . The lead ing characters in the company are rendered with great spirit ;the famous Hyer Sisters makes two very remarkable Topsys. Their splendid voices, made a most pronounced impression, while their piquant acting was extremely captivating. This prolific acting kept the audience in laughing good humor during every act The two law vers, by Messrs. Smith and Mann, "fill" the bill" admirably. They are excellent comedians. Wm. Lannigan gave us an excellent St. Clair, while Irene Lannigan made a hit as "Aunt Ophelia." The piece is nicely mounted. The plantation songs are rendered admirably by full-voiced colored men. The dogs performed their parts with entire success. Albany Argus. School- Notes. Sup't Langford will start out next Mon day morning for a regular tour of the county. All schools now in session will be visited, and where practicable, talks will be given in the evening for the bene fit of teacher, directors and the patrons of the schools. It is his intention to give the schools most thorough supervision, and it is ardently hoped all interested will labor hard to assist in pushing forward the edu cational interests of the county. Through the kindness of the County Commissioners, and the efforts of Sup't Langford, every school in the county will soon be supplied with a classification record, the nearest 'perfect of anything yet procured in that line ; and each teach er will be expected to keep this record as correctly as may be, and report monthly to the County Sup't, thu3 making it pos sible for the Sup't to efficiently .supervise the schools . The school in District No. 20 will open 3Ionday, April 23d with Miss Leona Johnson of Paxton as teacher, remvedT. My rooms are now over Grady's store, Nos. 4 and 5. Miss L. J.. Wade.

Williams, of Grant, was, in attendance on court the early part of the week. With his heavy growth of beard, it was with difficulty his friends recogaiz ed him. Charley McDonald returned home from Ann Arbor on No. 7 Thursday eveningi his health demanding a respite from school labor before the term ended. The invigorating breezes of western Nebraska will soon restore him to his usual health. Dr.A. J. Cappeus, Jate of McPherson, Kansas,has located in the city permanently with an office in Hinmans block, on Spruce street The Doctor is an expe rienced practitioner, having attended the sick at McPherson for some seven or eight years. We are pleased to note the:returaxf Mrs. C. F. Iddings from California la which state she had been recuperating her health for several months past. -Mrs. Iddings is very much improved, a con dition her friends all hope may continue. The Official Canvass. The official canvass of votes cast at the late city election was made by the council Monday night and shows that the table we published immediately succeeding election; was nearly correct The errors are noted below : G. R. Hammond re ceived 89 votes in the Second ward instead of 80; Warner for clerk received the solid vote, 467, and Ross for city engineer nearly the same, 453. In our table the vote for C. P. Dick for treasurer was cor rect by wards, but there was an error in the footing, which should have been 386 instead of 286. In other respects the table was; correct. The Presbyterian Fair. The Presbyterian fair and sociable at Lloyd's oper,a house on Wednesday and Thursday evenings of this week was as highly successful in every way as its most sanguine promoters could wish. In fact when the ladies of the Presbyterian church undertake anything of the kind, he is a poor prophet indeed who cannot foretell the outcome . About 275 people satidown 'to the New England supper Wednesday evening and they were filled with the good things to eat, there being an abundance left. On Thursday evening the refreshments consisted of ice cream and cake. A marked feature of the fair whs the Mikado booth, presided over by Mrs. Babb and Mrs. Byerly. The gross receipts were about $350 ; the expenses about $100, leaving the net re ceipts some $250. The Fire Last Sunday. The stillness of last Sabbath afternoon was broken about 3 o'clock by an alarm of fire. A dense column nf black smoke revealed the locality, and it was only the work of a -few minutes for the fire depart-, ment to reach the scene, which proved to be the stable of Gus Hamer, in the Second ward, just at the north edge of Miller's addition. The nearest hydrant is at the corner of Fifth and Locust streets, over fifteen hundred feet distant, .and the hose would not quite reach the fire. This made very little difference, however, for the combustible nature of the stable made it burn like tinder, and the whole thing was practically consumed in a few minutes, even before the fleet-footed young men of the hose companies prompt, as they were could get the hose laid. The latter "reached within seventy-five feet of the fire and a stream was thrown for some time to extinguish the embers. The loss was about $300 without any insurance. Mr. Hamer and family were absent from home, but the neighbors succeeded in getting out bis team of fine horses and his cow, barely in time how ever. There is hardly ever an effect without a cause. In this case it Was the small boy and the match. . District Court Proceedings. The district court has continued in session during the week. The trial of Charley Brooks jr. commenced Monday afternoon and lasted until Wednesday evening, the jury returning a verdict of larceny after a deliberation of about three hours. He had not received sentence up to the time of going to press last even ing. Several cases were then disposed of and the prosecution not being quite ready, the civil action of Salisbury against Iddings was taken up and occupied the court Thursday and yesterday forenoon. Yesterday afternoon the case of The Dakota Stock and Grazing Company, limited, vs. Edward R. Price and others was taken up. This is a case in which a large sum is involved, the attorneys for the plaintiffs being Cowan. Heirt and Nevilie and Wool worth, Thurston-and Hinman for the defendants. It will prob ably occupy the attention of the court until Tuesday. Following are the cases that have been disposed of since our last week's report was made: A M Stoddard against U P Ry.
