The Wallace Mail says that if the season continues favorable, corn in the southern part of the county will average t-forty to Sfty bushels to the acre, and that tae acreage istwice that of any proceed ing season. Melons are slow in ripenint? this year, the soil being full of moisture and the weather cool.

Being inter ested in having a good bridge, ho will require a strict compliance with tha terms of the contract. Several fields of wheat in the west part of the county south of the South Platte river, are. reported to have averaged twenty-eight bushels to the acre. West T 1 . era xeDrasKa is not only a great corn country but a wheat country as well. The annual report of County Super intendent Langford, making a pamplet of 63 paces, was issued from tins office last week. The mechanical work on the pamphlet received high praise, but not so much as the literary work. As a writer Mr. L. is versatile and flueut. One by ono the vacant business lots are being built upon and in a year or so the trade center will expand into what is now residence portions of the city.

Neville's new starter for both Our attention has been called to the peculiar phraseologj' of an item relative to the theft of some calves from Mr. Golvin at O'Fallon a short time ago. If by a contortion of words the inference is drawn that Mr. Golvin is included among the thieves, the construction is erroneous, "Tor no such intimation was thought of or intended. You will hear the gong as it will pass 3our house. r-Our hunting jnen in quest of sport should make a trip to Wallace, where game is said to be abundant. Jn the lagoons a short distance south of that village, there are large numbers of ducks, snipe of various kinds and other birds. One gentleman killed three large mallord ducks at one shot. A hunting party should be organized. Talking about base ball, a very inter esting game is likely to occur in tho near future, the men employed in land office block offering to play any nine which can be raised in the city. Dowd, Williams and Baker, three of. the best players in North Platte are employed in the said block, and these with Rice, Field, Forrest, Haley, Neville and Woods would make a strong team. The other nine would probably consist of Graves, Norton, Keliher, Mack, Burroughs, Bebhausen, Boyer, Sullivan, and well there are a number of others who play ball well . By Jill means let the game take place. Albert Beck has just returned from a two months' trip on the Pacific coast, and like ail Nebraskans he comes back satisfied that this is the best country that the sun shines upon. He visited Port land. Tacoma and Seattle, returning to Portland by steamship. He then looked at numerous places in that vicinity, and then went south by rail to California, inspecting the country in the vicinity of Sacramento and San Francisco. Sir. Beck is a good judge of country, and when he sees a good thing he knows it; but he is satisfied that the whole country is puffed away beyond its capacity. Re turning he came by the way of Salt Lake City, thence taking the D. & R. G. to Denver, thus seeing all of the best land of Utah and Colorado. After such a trip he is satisfied that this is a prosperous country and that the people are doing better than they are in a majority of the valleys on the Coast Mrs. J. Q. Thacker has a very beau tiful cactus plant of the species cercus granaiflonvi, night-blooming cereus, which she has carefully cultivated and trained for two years. On Friday after noon it began to show indications of blooming that night indeed for several daj's it had been evident from the rapid growth of the bud, that it was preparing to bloom. About six o'clock the bud commenced to open, and by 10 it was fully expanded, forming a magnificent lilly-white flower some seven or eight inches in diameter, the petals being about a half inch wide and six inches long. It emitted a delicate sweet fragrance, at times filling the room. During the even ing the neighbors were invited in to see the wonder, several of them staying until after 12 o'clock, an impromtu card party being organized . At midnight the flower seemed to have attained its largest ex pansion, The last observation was made by Mrs. Thacker at 4 o'clock, at which time it was nearly closed. At noon Sat urday the whole bud and stem was limp and rapidly willing. The surveyors of the M. R. N. Pi & Denver road are at work in Custer county looking for a route from Arnold via Broken Bow to the eastern line of the county. After deliberation the influential men of the3ow weakened and concluded to use all proper efforts to secure the road, Last spring when the subject was .up they declined to contribute toward the expenses of surve', but to make up for this they voluntarily raised $500 for that purpose with the understanding that the , line should run through th city. The survey will soon be complete, when it is expected a proposition will be submitted. The people of Broken Bow realize the importance of the road, that it will place them on a through trunk line instead of being on a branch of the B. & M. The 3Iissouri River North Platte and Denver road is gaining the confidence of the peo ple every day, as they learn the character of the road. It will do more to develop the ccHiatry aoiairaiac Mm price of property than my iecprtee that, has bwiMUfurafecr far ymnSsr V The subject of naming and number ing streets being under discussion, a gentleman suggests that the buildings in North Platte ought to be numbered.. We suggest that this would be useless unless the weeds along the sidewalks are first cut. Look out for the Vienna Bakery Bread Wagon. The" finances of tho Modern Wood men of America is certainly in a most gratifying condition, a circular sent out from the head camp stating that no as sessment for death claims would be made in August This was also the case in July. The camp in this city has a mem bership of fifty and everything is in a prosperous condition. Guns for sale or rent at McGee's. ) Hugh Ralston made a trip out south during the week to take a look at a por tion of his land. He returned highly elated and pleased. He was surprised at the change that Is taking place in the character of the grass. Where but a few years ago was nothing but buffalo grass, the blue stem has almost taken complete possession. On land that he formerly thought only fit for grazing, he found fine farms, the large stacks of grain and big corn growing in the field attesting to to the richness of the soil. Mr. Ralston brought out a gentleman representing number of people and he was filled with admiration.-returning with most favorable ' T. a J i A impressions. it is cuuuueuuy ubuokcu that through the efforts of Mr. Ralston many settlers of means will soon be induced to locate in our county. Mr. R. has sold a good portion of his land, but he sua nas aoout luu.uuu acres in tois ana adjoining counties. Look out for the Vienna Bakery Bread Wagon. We have often been confronted with the statement by people doing business here but who apparently have but very little desire for the development of the city and county, that they could get job printing done much cheaper at certain other places, especially during the life of the (Jazette-Journal at Hastings. we were confident that that company was doing work below cost a course that sooner or later must result in bankruptcy. The policy of The Tjubune is to figure work on a paying basis, although we must confess we have been obliged at times to do otherwise. We want to make a profit, and expect others to do the same. The merchant should sell his goods at a reasonable profit. If he does otherwise, he not only injures himself, but ultimate ly his courso is iujurious to the general prosperitj'. Do business in a business way. Bo willing to allow those from whom j'ou buy to make a living profit, expecting when you sell to do the same. This makes business prosperous, and the little extra you may pay when you purchase will more than return to you in the general prosperity. It is poor policy to cripple the hand that furnishes you with sustenance. Shells loaded to order at McGee's. The Tribune knew what it was talking about last week when it said that the printers would defeat the lawyers in the game of ball played Thursday after noon. The printers, however, had no "snap," as it was only by fine playing that they won the game. With the ex ception of three or four, the players were amateurs, and yet the score, which stood 8 to 9, was the lowest mado on the city grounds this season. Among the many good features of the game were Risse's batting, Uoagland's base running and Neville's work on third base. The law yers righti' think rney can piay n:iij j and are so strong in their opinion tnnt they have challenged the type setters for j another gamo which will probaoly take place next Thursday afternoon, Dowd oc cuovingtho box for the attorneys. In the coming game bets .should be made. even, as tho printers are not so sanguine of euccess, Dowd being a hard man to hit. The score by innings in Thursday's game was as follows: 12345678 9 Lawyers 1 2 0 2 1 0 1 0 18 inters ;u u u a u a a 3 u y You will bear the gong as it will pass your house. A party of old Union Pacific land men. Judge" Knox, Joe Ochs, McElvane and Walker went east on Thursday, hav ing been west as far as Denver, going out over the Kansas Pacific. They found the country in western Kansas suffering from drought, many homesteaders being com pelled to leave their land. The same condition prevailed along that line in eastern Colorado. Coming down through Nebraska, they were highly pleased to see the prosperous condition of Nebraska and were anxious to stop at this place and make an inspection but their time would not permit. Mr. Ochs was a former large land owner here and still has consider able, not having disposed of all at the time the depression set in three years ago. Tho Kansas boomers having played out, the people are now looking -to pros perous Nebraska for permanent homes, and especially to Lincoln count'. We are not trying to induce settlers to locate here on a "boom" or false promises. But we do invite people to come and make their homes with us. This is not a paradise, but it is a good farming country ; in the past ten 3'ears there has not been a failure of crops, more than can bo said of any district of equal size east of the Rocky 3Iountains. Corn this year will average over fifty bushels to the acre, while small grain is an abundant ield, as high as thirty-three bushels of wheat having already been threshed. from a single acre. Land is cheap and now is the time to buy. Machine McGee's. loaded shells cheap at D. W. Baker has placed us under obligations for a cop3r of the annual report of the Nebraska Diarymen's Asso ciation for the year 1888, just printed by the State Journal Go., the legislature last winter having made an appropriation for that purpose. The report is prepared by S. C. Bassett of Gibbon, secretary and treasurer of the association. The pamph let contains the proceedings of the fourth annual convention of the association held at Gibbon last December, appearing in which are many valuable and readable papers, among them "The Private D.3iry," by T. D. Curtis of Chicago; "Butter mak ing in the Creamery and on the Farm," by B. F. Howe of Fairmont, Neb.; "The Advantages of Co-operation in Dairying," by Wm. Sutton, Table Rock, Neb.; "Bam Yard Conveniences," by C. L. -Gabrilson, New Hampton, Iowa; "Milk as a Food," by Frof. H. H. Nicholson of the State University; "Bacteria in Milk," by Chas. E. Bessey, Ph. D., Lincoln, Neb. ; "Past and Present," by Mr3. D. M, Fulmer, Gibbon; "Poultry Keeping in Connection with Dairying," by Mrs.' 31. M. Ingrain, Gibbon; -My Ensilage Ex perience," hy Dr. O.

Gar rilson, New Hampton, Iowa; "Success and Failures of Creameries in Nebraska," by D. P. Ashburn, Gibbon ; "Nebraska's Dairy Interests," by the Secretary C. S. Bassett. The reading of these papers was followed by discusions, highly inter esting, in which nearly all the members participated. The report also contiins a large amount of statistics, and on the whole is a most interesting document to the dairymen, famer mmM1m general public. D. W. Baker of -thta city Is one of the directors.

McGee proposes to give his costumers the benefit of the saving, and will accordingly sell goods much cheaper than heretofore.

Mr. Thomson is the oldest builder in North Platte, and has erected some of the most substantial buildings here and elsewhere. His work is his best commendation . The best powder is to be found at McGee's. A horse belonging to Mr. Sloate and attached to a buggy got loose from his moorings Monday evening and made a lively run over the business part or town, resisting for quite awhile all attempts by the crowd to stop him. Ho finally became fagged out but not until the buggy had been upset and considerably damaged. Last spring Col. Hupfer distributed among farmers a quantitv of sugar beet seed received from the agricultural de partment. Roports are now being re ceived, and are all highly favorable. Col. Hupfer came from a beet growing country and knows something of the requirements of the sou. He considers our soil superior for this purpose to any he has ever seen. There are a number of Republicans in Lincoln county who do not take The Tribune. The political campaign is coming on and many subjects will be discussed in which they are interested and which will appear in no other paper. They shonld by all means take their county paper, that being the only source from which the' can get the correct county news. Ave earnestly hope to see the names of all such enrolled on our subscription book at an early day. -The county commissioners had quite an interesting time last Wednesday on the 'occasion of opening the bids for the Birdwood bridge. Bids were as follows: J. C. Whipple $4.80; T. Grant $4.75: C. F. Iddings 4.70; J. L. Means, $4.23; and Geo. E., King Bridge Co., $4.00. all per lineal foot, Means making-an extra charge of $125 for each turn out. The contest was spirited, the controversy being on the plans and specifications. The law provides, that bidders shall ac company their bids with plans and speci fications, the supposition being that each will bid on his own plans and specifica tions. In this case the commissioners had decided in advance on the kind of a bridge they wanted and had invited bids on plans and specifications prepared at their order.. The law, does not prohibit this. Mr. Means bid on his own plans and he claimed that be was the lowest bidder under the law. After some discus sion a vote was taken, resulting in giving , the contract to the King Bridge Company of Des Moines. This company is a stranger in this county, although not in the State, having put up a large number of bridges mostly iron in different parts of the State. It is a responsible coinpanj and wo belive the county will receive a bridge in accordance with the plans pre pared. The distance across tho river is 3,196 feet, and it will therefore cost $12,784. The amount voted was $14,000. PERSONAL MENTION. J. E. Morrison, of Gaudy, was in town on business Saturday. Mrs. C.H.Randall left for Pennsyl vania Tuesday morning.

Over fifty thousand bushels of potatoes will be raised this year along the line of the North Platte irrigation ditch. At the low Drice of twenty-five cents per bushel and that will probably be the net price the farmers along the ditch will realize the sum of $ 12,500 for this crop alone. Don't it pay to farm in Lincoln county ? And the above is believed to be an underestimate. There are over 200 acres, and good judges believe they will go 300 bushels to the acre. This is a good potatoe year and the uplands will run from 150 to 200 bushels', without irrigation of course. A? approximate estimate of the crop in Lincoln county this year is 300,000 bushels, A Biff Yield jaf Wheat. For several days a Tkibune reporter had heard reports of a fabulous yield of wheat from a field raised by Thos. Stimpson on one: of the ditch farms. One report had it thirty-five bushels to the acre, another forty-eight, and still another fifty-three. Concluding the best plan-was to see Mr. Stimson himself, and learning that he wasih town, after some search that gentleman was found. "Mr. Stimson," said the reporter, "I understand you have Taised fifty-three bushels of wheat this year on one acre of ground." "Yes sir; better than that. From six acres lacking ten rods we threshed 320 bushels, machine measure, The question was raised that the machine measure was not correct, . and a committee was appointed to determine the matter. It was found that the machine measure ran sixty-three pounds to the bushel, making the actual yield nearly fifty-four bushels to the acre. In addition to this, good judges believe that five bushels to the acre was shattered in harvesting. It was spring wheat of the Imperial variety, sown in drills and irrigated." Mr. Stimson is prepared to substantiate the above facte by affidavits. There is another field along the line of the ditch that will equal this, and a good many that are very fine. Mr. S. however in irrigation farming has one advantage. His long experience has taught him just when to put on the water and just how much water to use. This is very im portant. Prices on hardware, tinware, stoves, &c have take a tumble at McGee's. Call oa hM and be convinced.- V: See advertisement of forfeited school lands elsewhere in this paper. Wheat brings 55 cents per bushel. It is being brought to town only in small quantities Geo. G. McKay expects to start east in a few days to purchase a new stock of goods. " The annual reunion of old soldiers and sailors now residing in Nebraska commenced at Kearney Monday. A good many went from this county yesterday morning. An alarm of fire during the noon hour brought the fire department out in quick order Friday.. Tho fire proved to be in a house in the Third ward belonsins to Chas. Stamn. It was soon extinguished, but the building was damaged to the extent of eighty or a hundred dollars. Fruit continues to be sold at high rates, only those with plethoric purses being able to Indulge in the luxury. California peaches are sold at 15 cents per pound, or two pounds for 23 cents, $7.50 per bushel vfould be considered a pretty good price in some parts of the country; bmt we don't complain at this they have to como 3,000 miles. However for tomatoes seems a trifle exhorbi- tant, and we'are disposed to kick. By next week they will be cheaper and in a few weeks a drug in the market All produce will soon be very cheap. The delegates from the Baptist gathering at Loraine have returned and report grand progress in the work of the denomination during the past year. An association was formed of nine churches located along the lino of this railraad, North Platte church being tho most easterly one. Seven of these churches have been organized within a year and have an aggregate of more than one hundred members. The work ot this great denomination in this state has hitherto been con fined to the eastern part, but it is now proposed to develop the "regions bcyoud." Their work in this state is making rapid strides. With more than 200 churches already, and with the home missionary society to supplement the work, surely a grand future is beginning to dawn upon the Baptists of this state. Bewick.
