A. J. Dill while in Chicago during
the convention obtained a fac simile copy
of the New York Herald of April 15th,
18S5, cantaining the news of the assassi

While attempting toget on a broncho

much experience with horses should
meet with a mishap.
A well known resident of this city
received a letter from a Cheyenne stock
man inquiring as to the corn and hay
prospects, stating that he had several
' thousand head of steers which he desired
to fatten this winter. He was informed
that the corn promised a big yield, and
that he would find plenty feed for the
cattle. If the cattle are shipped in it will
make a good home demand for corn,

A Tiubuxe representative will short-

up each particular section, showing its
advantages and prospects. He will also
gather information of a statistical nature

the people and friends of the paper will
afford him every facility for obtaining ac

The farmers of Lincoln county are
now harvesting as fine a crop of small
grain as was ever raised in Nebraska.with
the possible exception of oats. Farmers
say the-latter crop was "scalded.'.' But in
many cases the late rains are bringing it
out, and the yield will be better than an
ticipated ten days ago. Corn and pota
toes and all other crops are booming, the
- prospects being all that can be desired.
Engineer Geo.' Dillard was quite se
verely injured Saturday while attempting
to run some cars into the coal shute at
Julesburg. The grade into the shute is
quite steep, and a certain speed has to be
attained: if too slow, the locomotive
cannot push the cars up; if too fast there
is danger of not being able to stop in
time to prevent the cars running off the
end of the track. On this occasion, Dil
lard had five cars. He made one attempt
and failed to make the rise. The second
time he went up too fast and was unable
to stop the train: Two cars had gone
over the end of the track; the brakeman
and fireman hadjumped and Mr. Dillard
thought it time 'to do so also. In doing
so he was seriously hurt in the back. He
was brougt to this city and placed in care
of Dr. Donaldson, one of the- company's
- physicians at this place. He is recovering-
As a rule our correspondence with
subscribers is pleasant and gentlemanly,
but occasionally we receive a letter that

us, but show the vulgar character of the

from Curtis of this character.. We do
not know Job Norwood, never heard of

the paper and it made him mad. Here is
what he wrote on a postal card :

The Vincent theatre company opened

appreciative audience. Last night the

manager has announced his intention of

James Ramp lin, deputy head counsel
of the Modern Woodmen of America, has
been in the city this week with a view of
organizing a lodge. This organization,
composed principally of young men, is
growing very rapidly in ;numbers , nearly
every town in Nebraska having a local
lodge. We are glad to learn that Mr.
Ramplin is meeting with success aud that
a lodge will be organized the early part
of the week, a sufficient number of names
having been secured.
A letter from J. H. McConnell to
Chas. McDonald says the report in last
week's Tribune relative to the failure of
the A. L. Strang Company was news to
him (McConnell) and that it would also
be news to Mr. Strang, who was in New
York. We hardly believed the report,
but it was asserted so positively .by per
sons supposed to be able to know that we
considered it sufficiently authentic to war
rant publication. We are pleased to
know that it was a groundless rumor.
Those who have experimented with
winter wheat find that it will thrive and
yield very successfully in this county. J.
M. Hostetter has raised three successive
crops,' ciornmencing with a small quantity
at first Last year ne tnresned eignt
bushels from less than a quarter of an
acre. Tins year ne nas nve acres, ana ne
thinks the yield will be equally as good
as that of last season . If Mr. Hostteter's
results can be carried out on a more ex
tended scale, it will prove a highly profit
able crop. We would like to have some
information from farmers on this point.
A glorious rain passed over the cen
tral portion of the county Sunday after--noon,"
falling copiously at several points
which had been missed by previous show
ift
ers. The storm originated near the wes
tern line of the county, apparently grow
ing heavier as it went southeastward,
nearly following the river. There were a
few areas of hail but not large in extent,
resulting in damage in only one place
that we have beard of : On Morrow Flat
John Harden's crop was badly dam aged
and the crops of several neighbors also.
In this case the hail was about two miles,
square. Mr. Harden's crop was insured
in the Nebraska and Iowa.
Engineer Hindman pulling No. 3
Monday evening ran into a herd of
horses near the stock yards. The train
was under full headway when they were
discovered and its safety lay in keeping
up full speed. The horses seemed to be
paralyzed and apparently made no effort
to get off the "track. Thirteen were kill
ed, two of them going under the engine.
The wooden slats of the pilot were brok
en, and also a pipe near the front of the
engine which connects with the air
brakes. By this means the air brakes
were set and the train soon stop
ped. There was no other damage. The
horses belonged to M. C. Keith, and they
had got out of the pasture through a
broken panel of the fence.
In the case of Thos, Kelliher vs.
Connelly brought before Judge O'Rourke
this week, the question of what is exempt
from execution and sale "under the' pro
vision of the statute exempting mechanics
tools, etc., came up. Nesbitt & Grimes,
for the defendant, contended that under
the liberal ruling of the courts a span of
horses, harness and wagcn were in effect
mechanics tools if they were the means
by which the man made a living for him
self and family. H. D. Rhea took a con
trary view. The point was quite exhaus
tively argued, and the Judge decided to
deliberate on the subject over night, im
proving the time to fully examine the
authorities cited. Thursday morning he
gave a decision dissolving the attach
ment. The county teachers institute, con
vened Monday with an attendance of
about thirty-eight teachers. Prof. N. E.

The teachers manifest much in
interest in the work. Prof. Leach is an
excellent instructor, commanding the
most careful attention of the. class at all

At the home of her parents near Etters,
York County, Pa., on Friday the 13th of
July, 1888, Ida S. Sutherland, wife of
James Sutherland, Esqr., of this city.
Mrs. Sutherland had been a long suf
ferer from a disease of the spine. Ex
hausting the skill of lotal physicians, she
made a visit to Philadelphia three years
ago for treatment, but received only tem
porary relief. Last summer she decided
to make a second trip, but the disease
gradually advanced beyond the power of
medical aud surgical skill , and sne final
ly breathed her last, after great suffering,
in the presence of her husband and
parents.
Mrs. Sutherland was a lady of culture
and of gentle and affectionate disposition,
endearing her to all who formed her ac
quaintance. In North Platte she leaves
many frieuds who will ever cherish her
memory.
Fall Bye.
The importance of Fall Rye as a sure
and profitable crop is more apparent from
year to year. All who have seen the
fields of Dr. Longley, Messrs. C. E. Os
good, L. Thoelecke, H. Wilkinson, and
John Chapin agree that they are magnifi
cent, estimated by competent
judges to yield from 40 to 50 bushels per
acre. Mr. Thoelecke who has raised fall
rye for eight years in succession informs
us that it is the surest crop in western
Nebraska. It has never failed in all the
eight years and has yielded from 24 to 47
bushels per acre and the price .being
about the same as wheat, with the double
yield, it should receive more attention
from our farmers. Then it should also
be taken into consideration that a field
sown in August will be a great benefit as
a fall and early spring pasture for stock.
Board of Education.
The board of Education held a meeting
Monday evening, the principal business
being the consideration of bids for build
ing of the addition to the First Ward
school houso and for repairing the school
houses .
For building the addition H. G.
Brooks offered to take the contract at
$1001.55 without paint; Samuel Adams,
$1070.00 painted and finished complete ;
R. D. Thomson, $1401.50.
Mr. Adams' bid being considered the
lowest, the contract was awarded to him
provided he would accept in payment
what cash there should be in the treasury
and .the balance in warrants. Mr. Adams
promised to consider the conditions of
the board and give an answer in a day or
so.
Mr . Adams was the onty bidder for re
pairing the four school houses, $108.25.
His bid was accepted.
A question relative to teachers attend
