According to recent statements, the banks

Several farmers have informed The
Tribune that hunters from this city have
commenced slaughtering prairie chick
ess, and furthermore said that they pro
fc posed to prosecute anyone they hereafter
find violating the game law. It would
be well to make an example of a few of
these hunters who insist in killing
chickens before they are full grown.

As has been tne custom for several
years past, the members of the Presby
terian Sunday-school held a picnic last
Thursday afternoon, the ground used be-Jf-
ittg on the lands of the Scout's Rest
Ranch. From the number of baskets
which the wagons conveyed, we are led
to believe there was 'no scarcity of pro
visions. The afternoon was pleasantly
spent by both the young and the old.

Saturday evening about fifty t friends
of 3Irs. F. W.Lee gave her a birthday
snrprjse at the home'of her parents, Mr
and Mrs. Chas. Upright. She.was made-

passed off. pleasantly with games, music
and refreshments, the guests departing at

The bicycle is giving way to the im
proved velocipede, a "machine that is
much easier to ride and from which it is.
impossible to "take a header." Some
twenty years ago the velocipede had a
brief run, but the power being applied
directly to the front wheel, as a means of
locomotion on a dirt road, it proved im
practicable. In the improved machine
the power is multiplied by gearing and
the old difficulty thereby removed.
There are some pretty mean thieves
i?.H8 vain, world. andXincolh. coqatyjs.
not exempt from her share. A short
time ago Geo. Golvin of O'Fallon pre
cinct, had six calves stolen, the entire pro
duct of six cows for this year, all he had.
We have heard the saying, "honor among
thieves," but these fellows appeared to
be entirely lacking in this ingredient, or
they would have left one or two anyway.
No trace of the young animals had been
found up to the time of obtaining our
information.
Wm. McAvoy had a nice lot of tur
keys, but recently the officials of the TJ.
P. R'y were riding by on a special, when
the flock was promenading along the
track, and in an instant the flock was
knocked out killing the most of them.
The aforesaid officials made up a purse
of ten dollars to reimburse Mr. McAvoy
aud then took the dead turkeys aboard as
toothsome flesh for official teeth. When
they" go home they will probably tell
their wives and sporting friends about
killing wild turkeys up on the South
Platte. Biff Springs Journal.
One time a blind man was riding
through the country looking for a fertile
farm. The boy who was driving the team
would describe the land. Finallj' they
came to a cultivated field which had ap
parently produced a good crop, but the
boy said the weeds were higher than the
fence. The blind man said that would
do, he would purchase that farm; if the
land produced big weeds it would raise
good crops. If that gentleman should
come to North Platte at the present time'
lie would applying the same principle
purchase Jialf the city. The council and
the street commissiouer had a talk on the
subject of weeds two weeks ago, but talk
will not kill weeds in a rainy time. We
have heard of meu being talked to death,
but weeds never. For the looks of the
thing a few vigorous days work with the
scythe should be indulged in .
The reason for the annullment of the
marriage of K. C. Barton to Miss Bridges
of Ogdensburg, N. Y., as published in
the Omaha Republican of July 26, is that
previous to the marriage! the woman had
entered into a conspiracy with one Hol
ism, a man with whom she was in love,
.to the effect that she would marry Barton,
for whom she did not care a fig; that
Hullam should meet the husband and
wife at Montreal, where they expected to
stop during their wedding journey: that
Hullam should there induce Barton to
drink; that the liquor should be drugged ;
that the stupefied man should then be
led or conveyed to a house of prostitu
tion; that in this predicament he should
be discovered in the most public way
possible; that his dishonored bride should
leave him in burning indignation and
should immediately, bring suit for divorce
and alimony; on the money thus obtained
Hullam and the divorced woman could
live in opulence. For some reason Hul
lam did not materialize at Montreal and
the conspiracy failed. In the mean time
a confidential friend of Hullam's, who.
was in-the plot, had weakened and sur
rendered to a friend of Barton's a batch

Where does the smoke come from
has $eesf a query on the lips of almost
everyperson during the past four days.
Although Saturday was cloudless, the
sun appeared as a fiery red ball in the
heavens all day and Sunday could be
called an Indian summer day. In south
ern Dakota, Wyoming, Montana in fact
through the entire northwest an
unusual drouth has prevailed, and forest
and prairie fires have been raging for a
month. The smoke came from those
regions.
There will be considerable loss of
grain on account of the inability of the
harvesting machines to cut it in time.
Farmers are censured frequently for the
reckless manner in which they sometimes
buy reapers, but several in this vicinity
say they have lost money this year by not
buying. Hershey Sa Co. sold two last
week, one being set up on Saturday even
ing and started on Sunday. One farmer
told a Tribune reporter that he had en
gaged a neighbor to cut his grain, but
perceiving that the man would not be
able to reach his grain in time, hastily
came to town, bought a machine, and by
running night and day has cnt 140 acres.
In this way he saved his own grain and
that of several neighbors.
P. L. Harper, of the Wallace Security
"nk,'-rssiB the -cUythe'eariy-partof
the week. While here he received a car
load of twenty-one head of fine Oregon
horses which he had previously pur
chased. They were said by Mr. Burke
to have been the smoothest lot of horses
thus far received from the west this sea
son, several of them being trotting bred
from a sire that last fall showed three
consecutive mile heats in 2:30 and better.
The owner of the latter offered to drive
him three heats in 2:25 or better if he
would receive the price he desired for
the horse. This is remarkably good
time when it is remembered that the ani
mal weighed 1325 pounds.
Becommenned for Commissioner.
The people of Myrtle. Whittier, Gar
field and Arnold precincts believe that
they are entitled to the County Commis
sioner who, is to be elected this fall. They
have become aware also that they could
not secure the nomination of a man unless
they were united. Accordingly with the
object of agreeing upon some one a meet
ing was called, by the committemen of.
the four precincts, which convened st
Whittier on Saturday the 20th inst. Al
though it was a busy time with farmers,
there was a fair gathering of representa
tive men. Morey Alexander of Garield
precinct was chosen chairman and Austin
Burdick of Arnold secretary. There
were delegates from Arnold, Garfield,
Whittier and Myrtle. After discussion,
Geo. W. Peterson was endorsed as the
choice of the meeting for County Commissioner.

The South Platte- Bridge.
The plank on the South Platte river
bridge are pretty well worn out, and for
some time there has existed a necessity
for a new floor. The bridge tools inad
equate to accommodate the large travel
on that road. In view of these facts the
county commissioners decided to replank
the bridge, and at the same time, as the
additional cost would not be- very great,
widen the structure to sixteen feet, thus
avoiding the dead-locks that often occur
at night on account of teams being unable
to pass each other the roadway being so
narrow. Although somewhat in doubt
as to the faads available, the board decid
ed to wideaBad rebuild, and advertised
for bids. On the board's proposition, the
following bids were received:
J. F. Hinman, $2.80 per lineal foot
J. L. Means, 3. 27 per lineal foot.
EL D. Thomson, $2.99 per lineal foot.
Mr. Thomson filed a supplementary
bid, to the effect that if allowed to build
on Mr. Means specificatiens, he would
make a reduction of about 18 cents per
foot, or $3.81 per foot.
The financial: question being undevel
oped, action 6a the bids was deferred un
til sfter the 'July settlement with the
treasurer.
The board is in a perplexing situation.
When asked a year or so ago to vote the
necessary fands to rebuild the bridge,
they refused. Now the commissioners
have to grappel squarely with the pror
blem shall they close the bridge or shall
they repair It The former seems impos
aible. and to do the work without funds

After leaving here going-west, the engi

Wyoming line. The road has now made
two surveys through Nebraska, one
directly west from Plainvlew striking the

State and other jdiverging southwest from
Plainvlew intersecting 'the Platte oppo

State Levy.
The county clerk has received notice
that the following amounts have been
levied on the valuation of Lincoln county
to be collected from the. assessment of
1889: General fund five mills, school
fund four-eights mill, university fund
three-eights mill, reform school fund
oae-seventh mill, institute feeble mind I
fund, one-eighth mill, total six and one
seventh mills.
The total valuation is $2,295,682 .54 and
the above levy will raise $14,102.02,
which is the amount charged to the
county by the state. In 1887 the levy
was 1 : In 1888, 7 and this year
6 1-7 mills, so It will be seeu there Is a
gradual decrease in the state levy.

: On calling the case, the defendant filed
a plea in bar, asking that he be discharg
ed on the ground of having once been
placed in jeopardy on the same indict
ment This was replied to by the pros
ecution, which brought out an answer
from the defendant's attorneys and gave
rise to several collatteral questions, con
suming ihe time of the court until nearly
4 o'clock. In the mean time the Defen
dant's attorneys had drawn up a paper ob
jecting to or challenging tho special
venire which had been filed by mistake
...
and this was brought to the attention of
the court Considerable talk followed,
but finally the defense was permitted to
withdraw the motion.
Everything then seemed to be ready to
empanel the jury. The prisoners attor
neys announced that they were ready, and
the court said he was exceedingly anxious
to get the jury of twelve men and allow
the others to return to their homes. But
the prosecutiou did not appear to be
quite ready and proceeded to consult.
hile waiting the J udge took occasion
to admonish reporters and the pre&i gen
erally not to publish anything calculated
to interfere with or prejudice the case.
promising to give the offender as long a
term in jail as is possible.
The prosecuting attorneys having finish
ed their consultation, a motion for con
tinuance was filed. A disposition to
ue the motion being manifested by
the Defendant's attorneys, the Judie
ruled that the question was'not debatable.
After examining the statute, the Judge
aunounced that he was uot prepared to
decide the motion, and a recess was take n
until 7:30 p. m.
The court convened at 7:30 o'clock,
when the court granted the motion for
continuance, the time set for the next
hearing of the case being October 21.
The defendant's attomej's excepted to the
continuance, demauding an iuunwliate
trial.
The cotttiuuance was granted on ;i letter
from Geo. H. Tiedemann dated Irondale,
Colorado, July 24, 1889, directed to "Dear
friend Robert," stating that he. could not
come at this terra of court because there
was not time to make arrangements and
for other reasons H promised to attend
at next term if the case was continued.
Attoruey Bixler iu his affidavit sets
forth the facts that he expects to prove
by thewltness Tiedemann and swears that
the state can prove the facts by no other
witness; that the attorneys for the Sfate
have done all iu their, power to procure
the attendance of said Tiedemann at this
term of court; that they have caused a
messenger to go to the state of Colorado
to see Tiede raann nd that he has agreed
to attend as a witness if the case can be
continued sixty days.

Glauciog over a young lady's Album
of this city we saw the following which
is worthy nf publication:
May the troths in this Album be as pare and
refined,
As those which should over be the thoughts of
your mind;
May the words herein written never rise to
condemn.
Bat may yon when in trouble find a solace in
them.
May yoa hIbo remember, be they ever so true,
Tliat earthly friends change as all other things
do;
Bat dear Jesus, oar friend, who can not de
ceive. Stands waiting and ready oar grief to relieve.
Then trust him and love him with all your
heart.
Keep his commandments nor from them
depart;
Then in the last moment when the Eummous
shall come.
The Saviour will take you to his hoarenly
home.
