Bureetwnicn win. cost about $3,500 when com pleted. T. C. Patterson will erect a handsome resi dence on his block in the Town Lot Co's addi tion this summer. Several other parties are also talking of building in that section the coming The thanks of our people are due Manager Lloyd for the many first-class theatre companies he lias secured during the past season. Probably no other town of its size in Nebraska has been so favored in this direction. A subscriber requests us to call the attention of the street commissioner to the bad condition of sidewalks in certain portions of the city. He thinks that unless the defects are remedied some one will receive injuries and the city will be call ed npon to pay damages. a We understand an effort will be made to lorm a mcycie club in the city. Two o our young men ordered wheels yesterday and when they arrive several more will order. Our good roads make traveling by this mode very pleasant. Gus Williams and his company entertained a largo audience at the opera house Thursday even ing in "Keppler's Fortunes", a play that gives Mr. Williams plenty opportunities to display his ability as a German comedian. The support given him by the company was very fair. Col., PEOPLE AND EVENTS. Mrs. H. C. Kennie is- homo from a visit to Grand Rapids, Mich.

McGee attended the Democratic state convention at Omaha this week as delegates from Lincoln county. While in Davenport, Iowa, the early part of the week, Lester Eells met John Fitzgerald, the for mer signal observer at this station. Fitz is re ported getting along nicely. The brewers are on a strike, but buck beer seemed to strike with just as much force on May Day as usual. The work of laying the water mains is progressing rapidly, notwithstanding considerable time has been lost by reason of wet weather. Farmers and ranchmen, ask your grocers for I'Extra Fancy," "Royal" and "Climax" flour, manufactured by the North Platte mills. Every sack war ranted. Allum & Holtkv. Mrs. W. F. Cody received two ele gant panel portraits of Miss Arta Cody this week, the young lady appearing in decollcttc costume and looks her sweetest. Miss Cody will return from Europe the latter part of the month. Conwaj & Keith received an elegant parlor set this week one of" the hand somest, we believe, that has ever been shipped into the city. It was ordered for Mrs. John Sullivan and cost a neat sum. Hans Gertlin's opening May Day evening, at his new place of business on Spruce street, was a social feature that will long be remembered by his friends. Hans is always jolly, but he is never so happy as when his friends are enjoying themselves. The editress of the .Denver Queen Bee publishes quite a long description of her experiences in North Platte, letting our people down quite easily, considering the coolness of her reception. Kate Conway is abused a little and Capt. "Walsh, of the Xebraskian, is accused of wearing his mother-in-law's watch chain. Perhaps the old.lady is learning something in her declining years. The election in Paxton precinct, Keith county, to vote bonds for the pur pose of building a bridge across North river, takes place to-day. That the propo sition will carry there is scarcely a doubt. It ought to. There is a large settlement on the north side, and more people are going in. Their only way of reaching the railroad Is either by going to North Platte of Ogalalla, involving travel of nearly fifty miles'. The bridge will be a great convenience to people on the north side of the river. Mr. Van Brocklin, the eminent en gineer who went out to Australia a couple of years ago to build a big bridge for which an American company had the contract, returned lately, stopping several days.while on his way east to visit his relatives in this county. He intends to return to make this his permanent resi dence, going largely into the stock busi ness. Thus it is that men who have seen the whole world come to Lincoln county and settle, knowing it to be the best. J E. Jordan, representing the White sewing machine, gave us a call Thursday. James Belton is the local agent for the White, one of the best machines in the market. The personal effects of Giles Smith were sola by uoroner Warner to pay funeral expenses, and bronght 140. The expenses of the inquest will amount to nearly $100, which the countv will have to foot nev. ireorge V. Martin baa a very pleasant time at Atkinson, where he went to deliver the Odd Fellows' address on the 26th. It was one of the most success f ul events of the kind he has attended in a number of years. William Mooreheaa, eastern repre sentative of the Oregon board of immi gration, was in the city Tuesday talking up the advantages of his state. There are a number of nice valleys in Oregon, everyDoay knows, but for a general all purpose country Nebraska takes the lead. County Treasurer Osgood arrived at home early in the week from his visit to Brooklyn. Mr. Osgood has in times past visited nearly every portion of the United States, but no place looks so much like home as Lincoln county. The Reflector says the rainfall at Oga- lalla on Friday and Saturday of last week was estimated at seven inches a second As a following re- deluge, as it were. suit, the farmers in that vicinity are ex tremely happy. SuptLangford, who has been visiting schools in the southern part of this count', returned home last Thursday and will .remain till next M6ndaymorning, when he. will again start out to visit the schools at Cottonwood, Fox Creek and other places in the southeast portion of the county. ' Tramps are quite numerous about the city, although the cold weather has been rather unfavorable for tourists of this class. Yesterday a couple made their appearance about Dr. Buckworth's new residence and, stole a workman's dinner pail. The theft was soon discovered and the thief rounded up and made to produce the pail, which he had secreted near Mc Evoy's stable. For robbing a man named Rhodes of $55, "Doc" Wilson now languishes be hind the bars at the county bas'tile. The theft was committed Monday, and at a aring before Police Judge Snelling Wilson was bound over, in the sum of $500 to appear at the next term of the district court Not being able to furnish Dan, lie was incarcerated. Nearty everybody wants to take water from the water company, and plumbers will have pretty lively work for a spell. We understand there will be pe titions for the extension of small pipes for awn and nouse use to points outside the pipe lines, but what action the company will take is not known. It is believed the company is willing to extend the lines provided more hydrants are taken, but the city does not feel inclined to rent more hydrants st present -So far we have heard no talk or a re organization of the ball team, and as the Jackson boys, Dowd and the great coacher Dallas, are no longer with us.it will prob- bly be difficult to secure a nine that will win as many laurels as did the club of ast 3'ear. Sidney, Julesburg and Oga alla are already" in the field and will hortly -extend challenges to this city. Will we be ready to accept?

As it was a special, the only business transacted was the consideration of petitions for liquor license and druggists' permits. After the committee had examined the different bonds, the petitions on file, hereto fore published in .Tiie Tribune were granted, there being no remonstrances or other objection. Some discussion was in dulged in relative to more efficient drain age, recent rains having flooded several districts, and Mayor Ormslly appointed the whole council a committee on the subject, with instructions to be. prepared to report and act at next meeting. A pe tition from Pahs & Kortlang for a saloon license was presented and laid over for two weeks, the clerk being instructed to have the notice published according to law. The rendition of Monte Cristo by Horace Lewis' company at the opera house Monday evening was highly praised by all who were present, but the audience was not as large as the merits of the play deserved. One of the principal causes of the non-attendance of play-goers was the fact that the sell of "She" was fresh in their memories, and, this being a play of somewhat similar character, they natur ally feared a repetition of the cutting pro cess. Thus showmen should learn a les son: that if their shortcomings do not react upon them directly they will upon j their brethren in the business, and the whole profession is a sufferer. Mr. Lewis is evidently one of those actors who believes that a patron who pays his money to see his play in a small town is entitled to just as good a rendition as those of a large city. Managers generally should see this business in the same light. Two or three skeletons were discov ered by the workmen excavating for the water "mains near the Unitarian church Monday forenoon. 'One of the bodies had been buried in a soldier's coat and cap, from which circumstance it was supposed he was a soldier; but this is probably a mistake, as a record is kept of all soldiers' graves. In the early days of the town the ground where the skeleetons were found was used asa burial place, and quite a number of bodies were interred there within the memory of some of our present residents. Still earlier this was a great camping and recuperating place for California and Utah emigrants, the two rivers being forded at this point They first started the grave yard, many of their dead being deposited in unmarked graves. After the town was established and began to grow most of the bodies were removed to the present cemetery, but there were probably a.good many left and there are still more, some of which will never be discovered even by the march of improvement Dress Maker from Cincinnati.

The North Side G rocer' Store is con -stantly receiving new goods, trade being much greater than expected. Rent and expenses being low, Mr. Von Goetz giyes his patrons the benefit of low prices. R. J. "Vinton, who has been selliag horses at this point for Mr. uouid, of Ogalalla, will shortly take charge of a bank to be opened at Big Springs. Rock Springs lump or nut coal. C. F. Iddings. The remains of a soldier who was ao cidentally shot at Fort Sidney last Sunday were brought to this place Thursday and then taken to the McPherson cemetery for interment. W. H. Broach has been making some fine pictures lately, proving his ability m an artist. His machinery is such that, o matter how homely the subject, a good looking picture results. Alex Goldsmith, formerly a captain in the Nineteenth Illinois infantry, o which T. C. Paterfon was a member, gave us a pleasant call Thursday. The captain now resides in St. Louis and is an enthusiastic Grand Army man. P. Touhey, late of the Colorado di vision, has been appointed assistant super intendent or the Nebraska division, with headquarters at this point or Grand Island We havo not learned what disposition has neen made of bunt. Deuel. In laying the water mains, the late heavy rains have not lessened the labor. It was hard enough to dip out the water that came from below, but when two or three feet of surface water is added, then comes tne tug ot war. Joseph Herrod and Miss Kate Reb- hausen were married at the Catholic church Tuesday morning, Father Conway officiating. The contracting parties art well known here and have the best wishes of many friends. Many handsome "pres ents were received by the worthy couple. The ladies of the First Unitariam church have reorganized the literary so ciety on a permanent basis, and cordially invite all who are interested in literature and the thoughts of the day to meet with them every Thursday afternoon from 3 to 4 o'clock at, the Unitariau church. The present thought of the society is Dr. O . W. Holmes' "Autocrat of the Breakfast Table." At the regulai meeting Thurs day, May 3, was commenced the reading of "One Hundred Days in Europe," the atest and brightest work of this noted author. To avoid the payment of interest, tax payers were quite numerous around the treasurer's office last week, and that of ficial took in a large amount of money. Under the law taxes on real estate com mence drawing interest at 10 per cent per annum on the 1st of May. Delinquent personal taxes commence drawing inter est February 1 . In spite of the close1 mone' market, rather more than the usual percentage has been paid up to this date. The recent rains have caused the hearts of the farmers to rejoice, and in that portion of the county around Wallace and throughout the whole southern por tion of the county they are preparing on a large scale to have an abundant crop. H undreds and hundreds of acres of as rich soil as lies in the state of Nebraska is being turned over rapidly by the plow of the cheerful and industrious granger, and if they fail to have a bountiful har vest it will not be for the lack of in dustry.
