Owing to the rapidity with, which the coun
try la settling, John Beatt & Co. have announced
their intention of reacting their cattle from the
range north of the north river in Lincoln and
Keith counties. This company owns several
hundred thousand acres on the north side which
is rapidly growing in valuation and we presume
the had. will be placed on the market before
lofig.

On -Monday last Balph States bought the Bird
barber shop and at oaco took charge. It is his
intention to run tho placo in a thoroughly business-like

first-class artists hopes to receive a full share of

kBown as a yoaac aan of excellent principles
deserve a patronage that will make his new

While there has been more trees planted in
Lincoln county and North Platte this year than
in any previoes year. Arbor Day as a tree plant
ing day was not generally observed. Being a
legal holiday, the banks were closed and the
schools did not assemble until Tuesday, other
wise basiness nroceeded as usual. We make a
motion this early that next year wo have a grand
tree planting festival on Arbor Day.
Try the Pantle Cigar just received at Shep
ard's. A gentleman .who has had considerable ex
perience in growing trees in this city says: "I
believe the man who pruned or trimmed the
trees in the central school yard thought he did
a good thing, but according to the best authority
on tree culture he gave most of those trees a
mortal wound. If he will just look around town
he will see no end of dead and dying trees that
were pruned this time of year."
N. C. Myere, of Somerset was in town Thurs
day. He says that investigation has made as-
drably sure that the burning of his store
the work of an incendiary. Among other
things in the baildinc was a pocket-book con
Hiintic papers; this was afterwards found. There
' i'j mi slsn liliirtf dnlKf in ri1rr 1r"- they
hiad disappeared. Had they been left in the
place they occupied, they could have been found,
even if in a fased condition. The fire occurred
about two o'clock in tho morning.

"Monte Cristo" Coming.
In announcing to our citizens the fact that the
great Horace Lewis Monte Cristo Company will
appear at the opera house for one night only,
next Monday, April 30th, we feel assured our
readers will be more than delighted at thus hav
ing an opportunity of seeing Alex. Dumas' great
melo-drama presented by this fine company in
their acknowledged superior manner. The en
tire press of the western and eastern states,
wherever they have so far appeared, unanimously
declare that they not only present a perfect ver
sion dramatically, but also on a scale of scenic
splendor hitherto unprecedented outside of the
largest metropolitan cities. The company bring
with them all the special scenery,, costumae,
properties and acessories of the original New
York and London production, including calcium
and magnesium light effects, thus securing the
most startling realism and perfection of detail
ever witnessed. The sale of reserved seats is now
open at Thacker's.
J. S. L Brown will please accept our

On last Saturdav evening there was a
regular old fashioned country dance at
the residence of John W. Wood, about
eight miles south of the city. Allof the
neighbors and several wagon loads 'of
folks from town were present. Dancing
was the order of the evening, after which
the guests were treated to a grand oyster
supper. All report themselves hs having
had a very pleasant time.

There is a fascination about the play to

Have anv of our farmers tried fiax
growing in Lincoln county.' opeamng
on this subject, tne Kimnau uoserver says:
"Flax is a sure crop on soa ana we ad
vise every one to try a few acres. It will
pay you better than most any crop you
can raise, and is easily handled and taken
care of. It has been known to yield last
rear, in this county, from 15 to 18 bushels
per acre, and is worth at present marKet
price $1.50 per bushel, at this rate or even
much smaller basis tne land would pay
a larger per cent in flax than any other
crop."
If these statements are correct, it would
seem to be a profitable crop.
-Mr. Allam of Allum & Holtry, made
a business trip to Omaha and other points
this week, making contracts for wheat.
Succeeded iu purchasing 25,000 bushels,
which with what the firm already has on
hand will keep the mill in operation
twelve hours a day until about the first of
September. The firm has secured the
services of one of the best millers in thu
West, and having nothing but the best
and most approved machinery, the gen
tlemen feel there is no reason why they
cannot manufacture as good nour as is
made anywhere. We feel that they will,
and shall be proud to have North Platte
take rank as one of the best flour manu-
acturing points in the West.
The sociable for the benefit of tho re
ief.fund of S. A. Douglas Post G. A. R.
has again been postponed, but the camp-
fire will likely be lighted next Friday
evening at the court house, on which oc
casion a number of good talkers will con
tribute to the entertainment. The object
is most worthy and should receive most
hearty support. There is no soeiety that
contributes fto charitable purposes so liber.

its resources, in proportion to its num
bers and wealth, as the G. A. R Post.
The old soldier has a fellow feeling for
his comrade that is akin to brotherly love,
and when that comrade is in distress, he
freely gives from his scanty store for the
relief of his companion. To raise means
to assist in this laudable work is the ob
ject of the entertainment. Therefore let
the attendance be large.
-The late grand jury, after carefully
investigating the conduct of the saloons,
brought in Indictments lor navmg tne
windows screened, to which all plead
guilty, the Judge putting the fine at $25.
and costs. The window provision in the
Slocum law is of questionable propriety
anyway, and if the saloons violate the law
only in that regard it looks more like per
secution to indict them for that alone, than
a desire to mete out justice. Like many
other things, public opinion is spasmodic.
It is fashionable just now to condemn the
saloons as the source of nearly every evil;
but under our laws they have some rights,
and are entitled to at least fair treatment
Window curtains and screens are among
the least harmful of the mamy violations
of the license law. Let us try to correct
some of the greater evils.
Master Louis and Miss Bertha
Thoelecke entertained a number of their
friends very handsomely at a sheet and
pillow case party at their home south of
the city on Monday evening. After a
few dances all unmasked and proceeded
to "hoe-er-down" without anything to
bother them. Mr. Ted' Wilkinson fur
nished music for the occasion. After
dancing for a time the guests were treated
to an excellent supper, after which they
were estertained by some instrumental
music on the piano by Miss Scbatz and
vocal music by Mrs, Dickie and daughter
Allie, and also by Mr. Wilkinson. All
had a splendid time and it was an early
hour in the morning before the guests
departed. Among those present our re
porter noticed Mrs. Dickie, Miss Allie
Dickie, Julia Schatz. Jennie Carlson,
Maggie England, Mary Sullivan, Bertha
Thoelecke, and Louis Thoelecke, George
Patterson, Lester Walker, John Sullivan,
Ted Wilkinson, Jeise Norton, Lenhart
Shrader, Ed. Rephausen, and Tom Stevens.
A discovery made in a southeasterly
direction, which if true, is indeed won
derful and will solve the fuel question
for this part of the country: Some emi
grants stopped at the foot of a small
bluff to cook a meal and gathered to
gether some loose rock that seemed to
have been broken oS of a ledge of the
same cropping out of the bluff, and
made a fire place of them. The meal
was prepared and eaten and the wagon
was packed and they moved on. In a
couple of hours one of the party missed
an article and returned to the camping
place where- the fire had made. To his
astonishment he found the rocks com
posing the fire place instead of being
cold were in a glow of heat, emitting no
flame, smoke or smell. He picked up
some of the Joose rock and then broke
some from the ledge. The rock is white
in color, resembling pumice stone and
ignites and burns like anthracite, leaving
but little ash and that of a beautiful white
color. A sample will be sent to the state
geologist for his inspection. It is thought
that the ledge can be traced for several
miles. Paxton Pilot
J. R. Darnell of St. Paul in this state
was in the city Wednesday,

M. Gradv has started a new dairy

Mr. Belton has received a lot of yard

Dr. W. M. Calvert of Somerset gave us
a call Wednesday. The Doctor is in the
stove and hardware business, and antici
pates a lively trade this summer.
City Clerk Warner directed a lot o
notices from drujryists and saloon men to
the paper having the largest circulation
in the county and of course they found
their wav to The Tribune office. The
publication is concluded this week.
The Water Company is prosecuting
the work of pipe laving with vigor, ex
periencing much more difficulty from
water however than they did last fall. In
some places the water comes up within
two feet of the surface, causing the banks
of the ditch to cave badly.
The money for the jail bonds, just an
even SI0.U00, arrived about the middle o
the week and is safely stored away in the
Jockers of the county treasurer, prepara
tory to use m the erection of a jail. From
present indications it may be a montn or
more before the contract can be let.
There will only be five saloons in

Rev. W. D. Hall went down lo Grand
Island Monday to attend the meeting o
the college committee of the Baptist
church, the matter .to be decided being
the location of the Baptist college. Grand
Island secured the prize, giving ten acres
for the campus and agreeing 'to erect
building 58x132 feet in size, of brick and
stone, 3 stories and a basement; also
3-story brick dormitory 58x66. In addi
tion to these, they give 200 alternate lots
in an addition lately made to tne city aa
an endowment. York was the principal
competitor of Grand Island for the honor
of the college, but she failed to get there.
We call the above donations liberal, but
presume the college is worth the money
A culvert bridge burned ouf on the U.
P. a short distance east of Vroman station
sometime last Saturdav morning. The
fire was luckily discovered by an east
bound freight which came very nearly
running into tne burning structure. The
brakemen immediately put out fags for
the "fiyer" following the freight. Had
the passenger been ahead of the freight
tram a wrecu would probably nave been
the result, owing to the high rate of speed
wnicn that tram attains. As the rails had
not fallen from their position the dis
covery was a fortunate one. The rails
were blocked up with ties and trains only
delayed a short time. Gothenburg Inde

-The City Council will hold a special
meeting this evening at which time the
new officers will take their respective po
sitions. Geo. R. Hammond will retire
from the Mayor's office, giving place to
Chas. F. Ormsby. Mr. Ormsby will
not be new at tho work, having
served several terms in the council, of
which body he was president a pottion of
tne time . As the head of the city govern
ment, we are confident he will be con
servative, counseling economy in local ex
penditures, a course that will meet the
approval of the people . E: B. Warner
will re-amrm his allegiance to the nation,
state and city, and continue to warm the
city clerk's chair another year. Mr. W.
has made a good clerk, and as he becomes
more conversant with the duties of the
office he will be better. I. E, VanDoran
will turn over the keys of the treasury
and the money bags to C. P. Dick, who
has been elected custodian of the city
sheckels during the coming vear. In
view of the fact that Irve had made a for
tune during his incumbency, the salary of
theffice has been reduced to fifty dol-
ars, and we dotft look for Mr. Dick to
become a Rothchild during his term ot
office. Chas. P. Ross has been setting
grade stakes and holding the city level for
several years. He will continue to en
gineer the craft through water works and
other combinations, safely as heretofore.
in tne council tour new members will
swear to support the constitution and
other laws well and truly to be made.
Mr. MoDagan from the first ward repre
sents the active young men, and will be a
useful and good working member. Mr.
Iddings is the new member from the
Second ward, being' a' representative
of the business men. The Third
ward has an entire new outfit of council-
men, N. Klein and Wm. Johnson being
the gentlemen chosen to look after the
interests of the ward. That they will do
so there is no question.
Five and a Half Years.
Charley Brooks was brought before
Judge Hamer Saturday afternoon for
sentence. He was assigned to five years
and a half in the penitentiary. If lie gets
credit lor good conduct, this will let him
out in about four years.
1 oung Tilford having plead guilty to
petty larcency. only received two months
in the county jail.
Both sentences are considered light, es
pecially the latter. As it was Tilford's
first offense, however, it is well justice
should be tempered with mercy. Brooks'
conduct in court was not calculated to
impress the Judge favorably. Probably
the cigar he held in his mouth, in imita
tion of the lawyers, added a couple years
to his sentence.
The McDonald-Hinman Case.
The case of McDonald against Hinman
was tried to the court on Wednesdays As
this case has caused considerable local in
terest, a brief recapitulation is in order.
W. m. Hinman, as overseer of roaas.
sought to open a road on the section line
running west from the south-west corner
of the city to an intersection with the
South Platte river. Chas. McDonald
owned a portion of the land along this
me, and it seems had given or allowed
the use of 16i feet off his land for a
ane . The overseer desired to have the
road the full width and moved Mc
Donald's fence accordingly. McDonald
brought suit for damages in the county
court where the judgment was favorable
to Hinman. The case was then taken to
the district court on appeal. The court
bund that McDonald had forfeited his
right to the 16 feet that had been used
as a jane by reason of its long use by the
public with his consent, but that he was
entitled to immediate possession of the
other 16 feet taken by the overseer, and
found that he, McDonald, had been dam
aged to the amount of $75 bv removal nf
the fence. The notice that the overseer
should have posted it anneurs
posted according to law. hence his
were null. The old adage, "be SUTfi Trim
are right then go ahead," could have been
profitably followed in this case. Indite.
tious point to an appeal to the supreme
court.

The North Platte Creameryv
We have heretofore commented on the
benefit th is institution will be tO' North
Platte and Lincoln County. Tqjlhe farm,
er and stock grower living'at considerable
distance from the city it will be especial
ly beneficial, enabling- him to make his
cows doubly profitable, as he, crin not only
raise the increase but dispose of the- sur
plus cream without great labor "of making
it into butter, and that of such inferior
quality that it is marketed with diffichlty,
and then at a very low price. The ready
money that this manufactory will distri
bute aoout tne county during tne year
will be appreciably felt and beneficial.
The creamery is now nearly ready Tor
operation, a slight delay having been oc
casioned by the non-arrival of machinery.
The capacity will be sufficient to handle
the product of three thousand cows. The.
milk from about one thousand has been
secured to start with, which the managers
consider very encouraging, believing that
this number will be largely increased be-
ore tne summer is over
The President furnishes us the follow
ing data:
Ihe capital stock of the .company is
fixed at $10,000 of which $6,500 is sub
scribed and fully paid in by the follow-
ng stock holders- in -amounts' of . 15004
each: John Bratt, T. J. Foley, C.F.
ddiugs, James Belton, H. Otten, T. C.
'atterson, Hershey & Co.,"Wm. Hubartt,
D. W. Baker, Chas. Stamp, Franklin
eale, Lester Walker and Guy Luing.
The remainder of the stock, $3,500, is for
sale and can be secured at par by appty
ing to John Bratt, C. F. Iddings or T. C.
Patterson. 1 he shares are one hundred
dollars each and will prove a valuable
and paying investment to those who are
fortunate enough to secure some of them.
There is no doubt that our farmer friends
could seenre some of the stock, we are
told, by paying for it in cream. This
would be a good plan as they would then
have a share of the profits of the Cream
ery, besides the profits on the cream.
Mr. Gus Williams, one of the great
est comedians on the stage, will appear in
this city next Thursday evening, Mav 3d,
presenting his latest great success "Kep
pler'a Fortunes" in which play Mr. Wil
liams has made ode of the most success
ful seasons of the many on the road. He
will introduce a number of his well-known
songs, his. latest, "From the Cradle to the
Grave," creating a furore wherever sung.
Of the play, the following is from the
Toledo Bee: "Keppler's Fortunes" as
personated by the ever welcome Gus
Williams and his excellent troupe at
Wheelers last night was thoroughly en
joyed by an audience that filled the
house. The play, recently and expressly
written for Mr. Williams, gives him a
rich and wide field for that humorous
delineation of the German character
for which he is so famous. The plot, if
such it may be called, is held together by
a series of amusing situations and
brightened by catchy songs sung as" only
Gus Williams can sing them:"

Daily Oregonian: "The opportunity
for melodramatic acting is one of the
most fertile, yet Mr. Horace Lewis has
fully reached the demands of the charac
