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.

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

the thief rounded up and made to produce
the pail, which he had secreted near Mc

-At the council meeting Saturday
night, the new officers qualified and took
their respective stations. 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
