Some crack-headed individual has
started a report that 20,000 mortgages
have been filed in this county since the
first of January, and public orators rene at
the statement for political effect, when it
bears on its face the stamp of falsehood.
Tell the truth. The truth is bad enough
in this case. Two thousand chattel
mortgages have been filed since the first
of January, but perhaps more than one
half of these are renewals, making the
actual number about one thousand. Inls
is not surprising when it is considered
that most of our bank loans are secured
by chattel mortgage, many business men
even preferring to give that security
rather than ask a friend to sign with them
But what of it? It is not a sign of
distress, but simply that men are doing
business and that their chattel property is
worth iat least five times the amount
borrowed. x The onlv bad feature about
it is that usually a man pays a high rate
of interest on chattel notes .

Sheriff Baker arrived home Friday
last, after a week's absence in search of
the thief who stole Mr. Langford's horses.
He visited several places in the Republi
can valley, going south from Ogalalla bV
way of Grant. From information obtained,
the belief entertained at first, is
strengthened that the thief belongs to a
regularly organized gang who have
rendezvous not very far from Indianola,
perhaps in Norton county, Kansas. And
it is not unlikely that they have friends
much nearer North Platte than that. In
the course of time these fellows will be
found out, and as the people are getting
tired of racing over the country after
horse thieves, there will be some striking
examples set as a warning to those who
love to engage in the business,

A short time ago James E. Edwards
resigned his position of foreman of the
TJ. P. Shops in this city to accept a place
at Leadville, Colorado. It was with
regret that his fellow workmen who had
served with him and under him for years
learned of this step, and they decided to
make him a present as a slight token of
their friendship and esteem. At 8 o'clock
Friday evening Mr. Edwards was con
ducted to the employees library room and
there in the presence of about fifty of his
loved companions and friends was
presented with a gold watch-chain and
.diamond charm, the presentation speech.
oemg made Dy w. W. Uonklin. The
occurrance was an entire surprise to
Mr. Edwards, and his emotions were such
as to preclude an expression of his
.feeling in words. Having entered the
shops when a boy, he had been iiere
many years, gradually rising from
apprentice to the position of general
foreman, having in every capacity dqne
his duty and secured the love and respect
of his fellow-workmen. In his new
location the good will and love of his old
companions go with him.
The council held a meeting Monday
night, all being present except Council
men Iddings and Patterson of the Second
ward. The minutes of previous meetings
were read, corrected and approved. The
question of laying water mains on Seventh
aad Second streets came up. The water
company stated that there had not been
sufficient subscribed to pay for laying a
main on Seventh street, but they offered
to put a pipe on Second street provided
the city ordered the same. The proposed
distance would take in eight hydrants, but
as an inducement the company would
furnish two of them for two years gratis,
thus leaving only six to pay rent upon.
After discussion the subject was postponed
for two weeks. beveral bills were
allowed on the poll fund, among them
about one hundred dollars incurred for
the small pox case last spring. The
members appeared to be a little surprised
that these bills were still coming to the
surface. Before they are all settled the
council will probably know that a case of
small-pox is not a trifling affair. The
bills for the city officers salaries for three
months were then allowed, but it was
not stated on what fund. A long list of
bills for street work was then .approved
and the council adjourned.

The premium lists of the county fair
are printed and ready for circulation,
rather late, but better late than never.
The work was done in Omaha and is
almost an exact copy of The Tribune
print, and by no means an improvement
typographically or otherwise. Our busi
ness men are well represented in the
pages of the pamphlet, speaking well for
their liberality and enterprise. Tnis is
good for an off year.
The fair will open on the 17th of this
month, and if you have not already done
so vou nave lust two weeks to make
prepara tions. The premiums offered for
horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry are
about tne same as last year. J. U. Hup
fer offers a special premium for the best
exhibit of sugar beets grown in- the
county, the object being to encourage this
industry.
But the big special premium is $100
for the best exhibit ot farm products made
by any one precinct in the county. The
second best exhibit in this class is to
receive $25. These -are very liberal pre-

In the speed ring the purses are such
as should insure the attendance of good
Jiorses, and the sport in that line the
secretary believes will be the best that
we have ever had in "The Platte."
Monday was the day for the regular
meeting of the Board of JbJducatiou.
Messrs. VonGoetz. Hendy and Sullivan
met at the court at two o'clock, but the
other members were absent. J. E.
Evans was absent from the county, but
Messrs. Hinman and Bratt were said to
be in the city. After consultation the
following preamDie and resolution was
adopted:
County court house, Lincoln county,
Neb. Meeting of the Board of Educa
tion of the City of North Platte. Pres
ent, V. VonGoetz, P. H, Sullivan and
Charles Hendy. Absent, John Bratt, B.
I. Hinman and J. E. Evans. It appear
ing there is not a quorum present, on
motion of Hendy the following resolu
tion was adopted by the members of the
Board present:
Whereas, Monday, Sept. 2, 1889, is
the time of a regular meeting of this
Board fixed by law, and we are now as
sembled at the usual meeting place of
said Board, and it appearing that John
Bratt and B. I. Hinman are absent from
said meeting place and have been absent
for more than three hours since the hour
appointed for the meeting of said Board,
and that said Hinman and Bratt are now
and have been all said three hours in the
City of North Platte and have wilfully
absented themselves from said meeting;
therefore
.Hesolvedi That the Secretary of this
Board be instructed to notify said John
Bratt and B, I. Hinman in writing to ap
pear at said court-house at the meeting
of said Board forthwith, and in the event
of the failure of .said members Hinman
and Bratt to comply with the requirements
of said notice as members of the Board of
Education of the City of North Platte
be and the same is declared vacated, and
the members of said Board present will
proceed to fill said vacancies upon said
school board and constitute a quorum. It
appearing that J. E. Evans is absent from
said Lincoln county the abovo resolution
shall not apply to said Evans.
Copies of the above were served upon
the absent members Hinman & Bratt.
and they soon "appeared in court. " For
a brief period there was music, such as
only can be produced at a school meeting.
Mr. Hinman on the one side and Nesbitt
& Grimes, as attorneys for the board, on
the other argued the legal points with
considerable animation. Finally the
board settled down; to. business, but not in
very good numor, for several of the
members were "warm under the collar."
In the confusion that followed adjourn
ment our reporter was unable to get the
full minutes of the transactions, but
several bills were allowed, Birdy. Mc-
Gauhey and Bertha Thoelecke were em
ployed as teachers and Mr. All wine was
employed to act as principal until a
Srincipal is elected. Yon Goetz and
uilivan were appointed a committee to
iaspect and receive the Third ward school
house when it 4s completed. Several
minor matters were also attended to.
About 8 o'clock thebbard adjourned.

Baker of Garfield . Just as he was reaOy
to start to North Platte last Sunday, three
strangers approached him and secured
passage with him to town. The journey
was made without anything of importance
transpiring. Mr, Baker put up his teum
at Dan Besack's stable and went aboiu) his
business. In a short time the1 three
strangers went to the stable and xequeste4
to have the horses harnessed and every'
thing prepared, as they intended to start
home at once. Bonnie, .Dan's son,
objected, and asked them to show their
authority for taking a team which he
knew belonged to Mr. Baker, The
strangers claimed they had a mortgage
on the team and as it was due they pro
posed to take it; but Bennle was not to
be imposed on in that way and conse
quently he closed and. locked the door on
them, and sent the other stable boy to find
Mr. Baker. The boy started out in a
great hurry, and as he passed along tne
street found Seth Baker, who after his
father's departure from home with the
three strangers, suspecting they were
horse thieves, followed them to North
Platte, and was. there watching for his
father to communicate his suspicions to
him. The stable boy informed Seth of
what was taking place at the' stable and
and the two went at once to the assistance
of Bennie who still held the fort against
the thieves. When they saw Seth aud
the boy coming they took a very speedy
departure and nothing has si nee 'been
heard of them.
