Judge O'Rourke heard a case Tues

The parties live over on Deer Creek.
A resident of Gaslin precinct, which
is one of the best farming sections in the
country, informs us that wheat never
looked better at this time of year than at
present. He says that several pieces of
rye are badly infected with chintz bugs,
notwithstanding the wet weather.
A correspondent writing from Hump
back to to the Gothenburg Independent
says: "Fred Hecox went to North Platte
last week to prove up on his timber claim, j
""but owing to some new rulings in the
land otlicehe had his trip for nothing.
He says he has been a little weak in the I
Democratic faith for some time and now
it is settled that if his influence will ac
complish anything off comes Cleveland's
official head November next."
Mr. Louis Thoelecke informs us
there are two sides to the habeas corpus
case mentioned in last week's Trikuxe.
Our aim was to give the substance of the
main evidence only, but it seems the ac
count omitted to state that Ernest Thoe
lecke swore he believed that his wife had
committed adulter'. Mr. T. also says the
value of the property was far over esti
mated, some of the property being in the
form of contracts.
A long-needed change is in contem
plation. It has been decided to move the
express office up town, and we believe
the room in McDonald's bank block now
occupied by Mr. Otten has been selected
as the place. This will be a great con
venience to our people, but what is better
still, and something that should have
been done long ago'goods will be deliv
ered by the company. Express charges
are quite high enough without additional
cost of delivery.
Several weeks ago Tub Tribune
saw the plans of a brick business block
that Buckworth & Sutherland contem-
iplate erecting on the southwest corner of
Spruce and Sixth streets. No mention
was made of the proposed structure on
account of impending negotiations.
These have dragged so late into the sea
eon that it seems likely the building will
b.s deferred until next year. This is quite
unfortunate, as it prevents the outlay of
a lare sum of money to laborers and
builders'.-

was not a great deal of

criminal
cases, one being an assault with intent to
kill. The accused ra iu we was
quitted. Another was an assault with in
tent to commit a rape. The assailants
name is James Reynolds. The jury con
cluded he was guilty, whereupon the
Judge gave him two years in the peni
tentiary. There was quite a legal fight
in this case, but the prosecuting attorney
had the assistance of Church &
' Bixler. H. M. Grimes directed the de
fense very ably, the verdict being some
thing of a surprise to the prosecution,
who expected the jury to hang, not for
the want of evidence to convict however.
A peculiar feature of our manner of
assessing private banks is again forcibly
illustrated by the assessor's returns. By
means of the form prepared by the State
authorities for the banks to make returns
unon. it is possible for a bank with a very
laWe capital, say 100,000 for instance, to
escape taxation entirely. There is $100,
OOOinvested in the most profitable business,
receiving all the protection that tbe law
can possibly extend, and yet it will not
contribute a cent to the support of public
burdens. This is not, probably, the in
tention of the law, but the fault of an
abortion of a blank sent out by the state.
No other business can thus be exempted.
The merchant with one hundred thousand
dollars worth of goods would pay tax on
at least 25,000. The farmer or stock
man cannot escape, nor anyone else, but
it is possible for the banker to go free,
and some of them do come pretty near it.
A peculiarity of the working of this re
turn blank is that the larger the business
the less the amount for taxation. For
example, a bank with $10,000 capital,
5110,000 deposits and 15,000 loans, will
jesUirn more for taxation than a bank with
20000 capital, 80,000 deposits and 60
000 loans. The constitution says "that
.everv person and corporation shall pay a
tax i"n proportion to the value of his, her
-or its property." but by a hocus-pocus
' -this plain provision of the fundamental
f-. law is obrogated.

B. F Albro filed a petition Monday
asking the county board to grant him a

understood there will be a remonstrance
from the anti saloon people of that vil-
age, who propose to use every legal
means to keep out a saloon.
There was not a death in North
Platte during the month of May. so un
dertaker Warner says, something that has
not happened since 1884. North Platte
is the healthiest town in the State, a fact
that is being recosrnized. When the
water works are completed the general
health will be correspondingly increased.
Messrs. McGee, Thacker, Keith,

For consideration before the board to-day,
and very likely the petition will be

be embraced in the village does not pos

the village is incorporated Wallace will

or saloons. Perhaps this is wnat tne
village organization is wanted for prin
cipally. Over in Frontier county in one
instance two or three townsmps were in

The fame of this great show is not con
fined to our own country, but extends to
the principar foreign capitals of the Old
World. A contemporary says that from
the opening to the close of the phenomin

unusual interest and must be seen to

vexatious, it ha3 really been beneficial to
the bonds, removing as it does every
doubt as to their legality, thus enhancing
their market value.

Suicide.
About half past seven Saturday even
ing Mrs. Lilly Gehrig committed suicide
by taking strychnine. Mrs. Gehrig was
a young woman about 22 years old, and
had only been married last winter. The
cause assigned for the rash act is jealousy,
but probably there was some temporary
insanity connected with it.
Coroner Warner, assisted by County
Attorney Nesbitt and Sheriff Baker, made
a preliminary inquiry into the causes
leading up to the rash act, and concluded
the case did not require an official in
quest She told her father, who happen
ed to be present when the first spasm
came on, that she had taken strychnine
10 cents worth and where she had ob
tained it This was corroborated by oth er
testimony, and also the fact that she in
tended to commit suicide.
The School Investigation. ".
An investigation into Mr. Allwine:s
management of the city schools was
commenced Wednesday by the Board of
Education, on the filing of a petition
making certain charges. Only a small
amount of evidence was taken, when the
Board adjourned until Monday next, at 9
a. m. to resume consiaerauon oi me sud-
ject
Below we give the petitions that nave
been presented to the Board bearing on
the subject The last is the one that
brought about the. investigation :
We the undersigned do .hereby in
scribe our names that wo have nothing
against H. W All wine, the present prin
cipal of the schools, but wish him re-elected
for another year.
Signed by fifty-one women, mothers
of children attending school.
North Platte, Msy, 1888.
The Board of Education, City of North
Platte, Lincoln County, Neb:
Gentlemen: We the undersigned
citizens, property owners and patrons of
the city schools, do most respectfully ur
gently petition your honorable body to re
tain the present principal of our schools,
Prof. II. W. Allwine in that capacity for
tbe next school year, for we are perfectly
satisfied with his school work , and deem
him a man of integrity and worth. And
we hereby express our satisfaction and
willingness to have our children continue
to pe instructed by him. We are opposed
to constant changes in teachers and es
pecially to changes in school principal,
deeming it detrimental to our schools and
a decided set-back to our children.
Signed by 151 citizens.
North Platte, May 7th, 1888.
To the Hon. Board of Truste'es of the
North Platte School District.
Gentlemen:
Your petitioners herein
most respectfully represent that we are
citizens of North Platte school m district
and patrons of the public schools therein ;
That in our opinion the public schools of
said district are not managed in such a
manner as to produce the most favorable
results in the education of the children
who attend thereto; that the government
of such schools is not such as it should be,
as is evidenced by the fact that a bitter
prejudice seems to exist between the
principal, his assistant, and a large num
ber of the scholars.
Your petitioners are informed and be
lieve that said principal and his assistant
constantly use slang phrase and make un
grammatical expressions in the presence
of their scholars, and have not a correct
knowledge of the English language, and
are therefore incompetent and unworthy
to hold the positions they now occupy.
Your petitioners therefore respectfully
ask that your honorable board discharge
the present principal and his assistant of
said schools, and employ more compe
tent persons to fill the honorable positions
which they now occupy, and to make
such other changes among the teachers of
such schools as will promote harmony
and good government therein and ad
vance the educational interests of our
children.
Signed by 11 persons.
Another petition which apparently ac
companied the foregoing, simply reads
as follows:
"We the undersigned desire a change
in our city schools."
Signed by 41 persons.
A number of the names on the last two
preceding petitions are those of persons
not patrons of the schools.
Change In Mail Route.
A change in the Gandy mail route and
time of leaving tviII take effect July 1st
that will be an improvement. The mail
will leave Gandy on Monday, Wednesday,
and Friday, at 8 a. m. arriving at North
Platte at 5 p . m. Leave North Platte on
Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 8
a. m. , thus giving aa opportunity to reply
to letters received by the previous day's
mail. Under the old arrangement this
was practically impossible, as the mail
did not arrive until late in the evening
and left at 6 in the morning. Another
improvement is the reversal of the order
of departure, leaving here on Saturday
morning instead of Friday, thus taking
out the latest news for Sunday reading
and making proper connections with
other routes. By this means The Tri
bune which has been ten days in reach-
r Garfield and Whittier will now ar
rive there on the Monday after publica
tion.

council Monday evening, most of them
being there even before the newspaper
reporters, enjoying a quiet smoke and
chat before grappling with official work.
Mayor Ormsby and all the members were
present except Mr. Monahan. Clerk
Warner called the roll and read the min
utes of the last regular and one or two
special meetings, all of which were ap
proved.
A petition was presented asking that
the slough across Elm and Maple streets
between Fifth and Sixth be filled, which
was laid over for future consideration the
city engineer being instructed to make an
estimste of the cost.
A petition of M. J. Cronin and others
relative to drainage was received and
placed on file.
John Hinman asked permission to
move the Carlson and Holteen buildings
into the street or on to Mr. Neary's lot
adjoining to stand there while he is put
ting up a brick block for. said Carlson and
Hcltoon.- Thiajed'tb' coiialderablo dis
cussion as to whether the council had
authority to grant permission to occupy
the street even temporarily. The mem
bers seemed to be willing that the build
ing should be moved onto the Neary cor
ner provided the contractor could make
arrangements with Mr. Neary to that ef
fect but possibly there is some fear that
the buildings once there, there thev
would stay indefinitely. The city attor
ney being absent, the Council declined to
make a record in either case, and Mr.
Hinman's requests were laid over until
tne reiuin ot tnat iunctionary, tne mem
bers promising to attend a special meet
ing at any time to consider the subject.
The clerk was instructed to advertise
forbids to construct a draiuage ditch
from the north slough west of " Mrs.
Cody's residence to the irrigating ditch,
according to specifications prepared by
the city engineer.
The drainage question was taken up
and discussed at length. Finally the
city engineer was instructed to make an
estimate of the cost of digging a ditch
from the south slough on the west line of
the town lot company's addition directly
south to the county road.
The following bills were allowed for
work on sloughs and the clerk was in
structed to draw warrants on the poll
fund for the same: John Sautzke, John
Hart, Robert Wellever 6, each; B.C.
Dixon 2., and Frank Nichols $5.; W. L.
McGee $4.50 for nails on the saino fund.
The assistant chief of the fire depart
ment, Dell Slyder, appeared before the
board and called attention to the condi
tion of the hose houses, more especially
that in the Third ward, representing it as
requiring immediate repairs. As the
buildings are new the council seemed to
be surprised that they were not fit for the
purpose for which they were designed.
There was an understanding that the fire
committee would give the subject con
sideration. After discussion it was decided to put
in one telephone at each hose house, pro
vided the water works company put one
in at the engine house and would string
the wires.
The Marshal was instructed to have the
water works company fill ditches proper
ly and place signals when digging the
same.
