WALLACE.
We understand the North Platte ball
club will bring suit against the Wallace
club for running away with North Platte's
half of the last day's gate receipts, and
that a counter suit will be brought to
compel the Hubites to pay the board bill
of the Wallace scorer and manager.
Better call it even, boys The liquor
case mentioned Inst week did not come
to trial. It is a matter of regret to all
law-abiding citizens that this farce was
ever enacted, as it looks as though the
temperance people of Wallace has made
an attempt to suppress liquor selling and
failed miserably. The truth of the mat
ter is that they have brought no such
action as yet. They never had any
knowledge of the action taken, directly or
indirectly, untii ' the serving of the
subpoenas. It now remains for the tem
perance workers to begin an earnest,
united effort to effectually eradicate the
the illegal traffic and see that future
actions are not a repetition-of last week's
move. Wallace Herald.

The campmeeting, at Bartley, this year,

The attendance has been large, the order
has been the very best, and although the
number of convertions was not so very

earnest meetings are always very exten

Cattle buyers are already on the go in
Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado, but
the ranchmen are as wide-awake to the
effect of our extraordinary large crops as
the buyers, and are holding for higher
prices than they can get at present in
Omaha, Kansas City or Chicago. We
have the corn and hay to feed thousands
of cattle more than there are in the slate
Hence the number fattened this year will
be greatly in excessof last year.
It has been a "sorry" looking sight to
see the long faces in town when the
refusal to register the precinct bonds by
the state auditor was read last Friday
evening. But with true heroic zeal and
enthusiasm quite a number of our citizens
galhered at tho clerk's office and after a
few short speeches it was decided that it
would be tetter to have bonds drawn no
after the auditor's own plan and call a
new election, than to attempt to force the
registration of the bonds by mandamus
proceedings. Acting upon this plan the
call was issued by our honorable board of
commissioners for a new election. It is
earnestly and sincerely hoped, by all who
have the best interests of our town and
county at heart, that there will not be a
single vote against tho bonds.

W. C. Lemon and wife of North Platte
passed through Wednesday enroute home
from a visit to relatives north of Grant.
Perkins county is a thing of beauty and
a joy forever. The eastern man as he
walks through the forests of sod corn
waving a dozen feet above his head and
borrows a step ladder to get an ear with
which to feed his team, wonders if God
ever made a prettier landscape, a more
fertile soil, or a more pleasant place for
man to dwell.
Last Saturday evening, one of the heav
iest rain storm of the season swept over
this country. Between this place and
Grant and south and south-west from
here hail fell in great quantities inflicting
serious damage on the growing crops.
The affected district is not very large and
the rain settles beyond doubt the corn
crop.
H.Emerson, connected with the Lin
coln Land Co., brought in some land
seekers Monday evening and piloted them
around over some of Perkins county soil.
Mr. Emerson states that every measure
possible is being taken by the company
to make the excursion to this place Sep
tember 28th a success. We will sav that
the people of Madrid are doing likewise
and propose to continue.

A very unfortunate and probably fatal
accident happened to a young man named
David Tyler, aged about twenty years, on
Tuesday afternoon last. He was engaged
with others in stacking grain and in slid
ing from the stack to the ground came in
contact with a pitchfork which was lean
ing on the stack with the tines on the
ground. The tines of the fork penetrated
the rectum four or five inches, came In
contact with the spinal column, which
pitched the young man forward on his
face. Drs. Rosenberer and Bancroft have
been attending the case and the latter in-
brmed a Pioneer reporter this morning
that the case is critical. Mr. Tyler is a
very fine young man and is held In high
esteem by his associates.
A shooting affray took place on Satur
day last which very nearly resulted in
oss of human life. From what we could
glean of the affair it appears that L. M.
McMinn, a oung married man, occupied
tho house of Richard. Durham in Logan
precinct, north of Overton. Durham
desired McMinn to vacate the premises
and in the controversy over the matter
the latter struck Durham in the face.
his so enraged him that he drew a six-
shooter and turned loose on McMinn who
at once made himself scarce as fast as his
legs would cam' him. Three shots were
fired we are told, only one of which
touched the person of McMinn, striking
him on the collar of his shirt, through
which it plowed a furrow and burning his
neck it as passed. Half an inch or so
further in would have severed the jugu
lar. A warrant was sworn out and
Durham was arrested in this city in the
evening, taken before Judge Peirce
where he waived examination and was
placed under $1,500 for his appearance
at the next term of the district couit. R.
F. James, J. H. McColl and J. S. Thomas

It is claimed that the quality of the
wheat raised on the table lands this sea
son Is better than that of the valley.
Though there is an excellent yield of
wheat the quality of the grain is not
generally first-class and the shrinkage- in
preparing it for milling purposes will be
great The yield of good wheat will,
howevervbo about as much or more than
the entire yield last year. A great
deal of the late wheat was damaged by

Buffalo BUl's Grand Reception.
The grand reception accorded to
Colonel W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) on
Decoration Day in New York, when
twelve miles of dense humanity rolled its
plaudits along before him, when he
shared the honors of tho day with the
president of the nation and military
heroes of renown, a reception duplicated
daily at Staten Island, culminated last
Monday in a spontaneous outflow of
enthusiasm from fourteen thousand (14,
000) admirers In the Quaker City. The
public's pleasure was heartily manifested
at the return of the frontiersman and-his
two-year-old campaigners from triumphs
abroad, in a manner that might well
arouse the envy of any potentate or prince
of Europe, or any statesman or political
aspirant in America. More 'remarkable
and betler too than a set da' of tribute, is
the fact that through increasing numbers
appreciation the opening scenes have
been excelled during the week. Ameri
cans thus show discrimination, and give
ample proof of admiration for those
whose motto is "to do or die," to accom
plish in their sphere, however humble,
something for the cause of education, and
credit for our country abroad. The
efforts of Colonel Cody to depict the
phases of western life, that has figured
so closely in every foot of land on this
continent in its reclamation from savag
ery, in a picturesque manner, being well
appreciated, and in the history of those
efforts it is notable that Philadelphia was
the first to respond with encouragement.
Now this fast passing feature of America
-the frontier and its life is no more.
and after the present exhibition by
Buffalo Bill it will be relegated to the
future traditions, to the actor, to the
historian, to the romancer, the novelist,
the poet, the sculptor and the painter.
