the formation of the precinct was regular,
thus practically settling that point The
negative was sustained by Messrs. N"es
bitt & Grimes and B. I. Hinman. They
argued that a man who holds a home
stead under the United States laws has an
interest in a freehold and is therefore
competent to sign a petition where the
law requires the signa
tures of free holders. The homestead
law has been in operation about twenty-
nve years, and yet it seems there has not
been a decision on this point in the States
of "Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas or
Nebraska. Judge Field took the matter
under advisement, intimating that he
would hand down a decision about Satur

To the Editors of The Tribune: My
attention has been called to an article in
several newspapers, purporting to give
the facts in regard to the claim of the late
Mrs. E. N. Searle for 5,000 life insurance
on the life of her late husband which un
justly reflects on the Masonic fraternity.
The friends of the late Mrs. Searle de
sire in this public manner to refute the
imputation that has been cast on the Ma-

In Lincoln county every circumstance
contributed to the pleasures of the day,
The sun shone brightly, there was only a
gentle breeze, the weather being just
warm enough to be comfortable. At ten
o'clock business houses were closed
Flags were flying at half mast, and there
was a liberal display of small bunting,
giving tne city a genuine holiday appear
ance.
In the forenoon the guard and a de
tachment from Stephen A. Douelas Post
marched to the cemetery where tbe
Grand Army ritual service for the burial
of the dead was rendered and a salute
was fired over the erave of the late Com
rano Anthony Ries, a touching and ap
propriate address being delivered by
vjomraae u. u. Khea. The craves of
the soldiers were then bedecked with
flowers, after which the procession re
turned to the city to participate in the ex
ercises of the afternoon. Thus did the
living comrades once more honor those
who have gone on before and answered
the last roll call on Fame's eternal camp

Elmer "W. 'Cotton, a resident of Mc
Connellsville, Ohio, died suddenly at his
home Mar 12th, aged 66. Mr. Cotton
was the oldest brother of our fellow citi
zen, T. D. Cotton, and was a highly re
spected citizen of Morgan county. At the
time of his death he was vice president of
the first national bank of McConnells
ville, having been a director for fifteen
years. He visited his brother in this
county a couple years ago and we believe
made purchases of land
The trouble in the Greenwood family
over near the head of Fox Creek has
been amicably settled. The charge
against Greenwood for threatening life
was not sustained at 'the preliminary ex
amination before Justice .Buchanan, and
perhaps some of the other charges were
exaggerated, even as modified and pub-:
lished in The Tribune. The mother
and child have been received and cared
for at Greenwood's house. Thus is a
great big mountain of scandal and false
hood dwindled down to a small mole hill.
In response to the advertisement in
viting plans and specifications for a jail,
plans were submitted by only two parties,
Pauley Bros, of St Louis and W. F.
3Iareh. The commissioners resolved to
accept the plan submitted by 3Ir. Marsh,
provided the cost could be kept below or
not exceeding $8,000, agreeing to give
him 2 per cent of the contract price if
the contract should be Jet on his plans
and specifications. "We understand the
plaas are not so elaborate as those sub
mitted by Mr. Thompson. It is under
stood that Mr. Marsh will accept the of
fer of tbe board, but the plans have not
yet been filed with the county clerk, the
architect being engaged in perfecting
them.
Heretofore Ifurth Platte has been
the principal market for dairy butter
from the surrourding districts; and it
will continue to be the principal market,
in spite of contrary reports and in spite
of the creamery; but will not likely
command such fancy prices as in times
past. It has always" brought from five to
ten cents more than was paid at the same
time in surrounding villages. AVhen but
ter was worth 10 cents in Gothenburg, 15
at Ogalalla, "and was a drug at Gandy, the
producer would find buyers here at 15 to
25. This of course cannot be expected to
continue; but to-day dairv butter will
bring a higher prici in North Platte than
is paid at competing points indeed,
choice dairy butter will bring an .equal'
price with creamery. The creamery will
not hare the effect of running the dairy
butter out of the market, but it will have
the effect of lessening the quantity and
increasing the quality of the latter article.
The Lincoln County Teachers' Insti
tute will be held in the Central School
Building, North Platte, beginning July
16, continuing two weeks. The law re
quires that every teacher be present and
take aa interest in this work in order that
they may obtain a certificate. Every one
in the county should take an interest in
this institute, and the 'teachers ,of adjoin
ing counties are invited to attend. All
schools must be closed during the term
of the institute. ' Don't overlook this mat
ter, but one and aU be on .hand promptly
and make this session one of the most

consiaerea dangerous but developed into
acute insanity, and culminated in his
death a little over two years afterwards,
as soon as the Masons were apprised of
Mr. bearle's injury they took immediate
siepsto protect his life insurance, the
Blue Lodge of North Platte paying his
dues and assessments for one year and
the Chapter for one year. The Knight
lemplars of Grand Island then assumed
the payment of the dues for the third
3rear and notified the insurance association
to hereafter send notices of dues and as,
sessments lor Brother Searle to them at
Grand Island as they had assumed the
payment of them. The secretary of the
association admits receiving this commun
ication from the Knight Templars. Yet
notwithstanding that, sent the notice fp
North Platte and failed to send ' any no
tice to Grand Island. Owing to the fail
ure to send any notice to Grand Island
this assessment was not paid until a week
after it was due, when the secretary of
the insurance association notified Mrs.
Searle that the insurance had lapsed and
could be re-instated if it could be, shown
that Mr. Searle was in rrood health. As
Mr. Searle was at that time very low and
expected to die almost any time this
could not be done. A short time after,
this Mr. isearle died and on demand; for
the payment of the policy on. his life the
insurance association refused to pay or
recognize the claim on account of the
failure to pay this one assessment within
the , stipulated time-r-a failure that 'was
due to the societj' not sending the notice
to the Templars who had arranged to
make the payment.

Now that the date of McMahon's

at this office relative to whether they de

of many citizens at whose instigation they
exhibit here, the prices will be reduced

Good Roads.
The business interests and prosperity
of the city is vitally interested in having
good highways leading into the town, yet
if reports be true there is no matter that
has received so little attention. There
seems to be an entire absence of any con
cern on the subject. Yet the city is los
ing trade by this policy, and may ulti
mately be seriously crippled. People
living on the south side west of the city
have actually been hauling supplies from
Wallace because of the bad condition of
the roads near this citj We have allud
ed to this subject before. The condition
is not creditable to the town. Merchants
say it is not our business to repair coun
try roads. No ; but it is your business to
bring intluence to bear in such a wa- as
to cause them to be repaired and kept in
repair. We want people to come here to
trade, but if we shut ourselves up on an
inaccessable point, they will go else
where.
This subject should receive some atten
tion from property holders and business
men.
City Council Proceedings.
The council held a special meeting
May 25th at which all the members were
present and there was a "right smart" of
business transacted.
Ordinance No. 70, which will be found
elsewhere, was considered and passed.
It orders a side walk running north and
south on Maple streetfrom Front to the
south limits of the citv, thus giving access
from the north side to the Second ward
school house.
There was also a crossing ordered at
the intersection of bpruce arid Second
streets.
City engineer Ross made a verbal re
port relative to the construction of ditches
west of the citv to carry the water north
and south and thus prevent to a certain
extent overflows within the city limits.
The clerk was ordered to advertise for
proposals to furnish the city with lumber
for the ensuing year.

appointed special policemen for the com-

ing Monday evening.
"A grand success," that's what is said
about the ball that took place Tuesday
evening for the benefit of the Third
Ward Hose Co. And we judged that the
remark was true when we learned that
the affair would clear over 100. The
success does not ena nere, nowever, ior
there is another feature that goes to make
success in gatherings of this kind : the
social and artistic. The firemen of the

Third ward was apparently the most ap
propriate. The hook and ladder truck
was beautifully decorated, drawn by a
span of coal black horses, the ladders be
ing surmounted by n full grown moun

The exercises at tho opera house were
opened with prayer by Rev. Comrade
W. D. Hall, followed by the reading of
general orders trom national neadquar-
ters and ix. a. it. memorial service.
Comrade J. W. Bixler delivered the for

dresses by Rev. Adam Stump, Rev.

music rendered by members of the Meth
odist and Lutheran choirs and by several
choice selections by the band, practiced
especially lor the occasion.
.Everything passed otr in the most sat
isfactory manner. There was nothing to
mar the solemn and patriotic observance
of the occasion., There were fully five
thousand people in the city, yet hot a case
of disorderly conduct was observed. The
people felt that it was a day.on which
they were to honor theTdepafrted and living

for the exercises to commence, over
one hundred persons had assembled
to do honor to the fallen braveto
strew a flower and drop a tea for
those who had joined the great ar

Hon. John I. Nesbitt, orator of

was rendered by a volunteer cLoir,
delivered an excellent address in
whicl he referred to different epochs
in American history, the progress
which had been made, the great
privileges we enjoy and concluded
with an eulogium on the "soldier

and pathos is seldom , surpassed.

The low price of cattle and other
causes, have caused nearly everv cattle
man in the West to turn his attention to
utilizing his herds by the production of
dairy products. The consequence is that
the markets of Denver, Cheyenne and
other points west of us are overstocked
with butter. Such Mr. Harrington found
ta condition of the market when he vis
