Cary will attend the Presbyterian Synod at Hast ings, which begins its sessions on the 10th Inst. Mrs. M. T. Allum. who has been visit iuir in Iowa and South Dakota for a couple of months past, is expected home the latter part of the week. The North Platte National Bank building is now being pushed rapidly forward and will soon show itself above the high board fence. Yesterday was the first sittiu of the supervisors of registration and quite a Bumber of voters htd themselves regis tered. The date of the next sitting is Oct. 16th. The Lincoln county delegates to the State convention, augmented by a number of local politicians, packed their grips Monday and boarded the train for Hastings. The third story of the First National Bank building is well under way and in the course of a week or ten 'days the brick and stone work on the structure will be completed. Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Fole' are expected home this week from their extended trip in the west, a tour that has covered Colorado, New Mesi"o, California, Ore gon and Washington Territory. We understand steps are being taken to re-organize the Apollo dancing club for the coming season To use the stereotyped phrase "this is a step in the right direction." Only five men in North Platte were opposed to voting the railroad bonds, and they perhaps are now sorry they did not vote for them, thereby making the vote unanimous in the city. The delinquent tax-list together with a rush of other work has kept Tub Tri bune force humping, and this in a meas ure accounts for the quality of the matter published last and also this week. Land owners along the line of the M, R. D. & N, P. Ry have already placed an extra dollar on each acre of land they possess. The wave of prosperity has already started and it will increase in volume as tine goes on. A prairie fire last week destroyed catftiderable hav for John Bratt & C. Mir we noQio oi uie iiiiunuuu, repurib slated about 1,000 tons, but the amount is set deinitely known, perhaps half of that quantity. J. C. Hupfer gave a dance Friday - night in the rooms in the Neville block which he will shortly occupy with his saloon and billiard hall. The dance was rather an impromtu affair, but was nevertheless well attended and the partic ipants report a plesant time. The charity eutertaiument given at the opera house on Thursday evening of last week under the management of Mrs. Ritner and for the benefit of the orphans home, was well attended and the tableaux and singing well rendered. During the entertainment ice cream and cake were served and about half past ten the people went home well satisfied with the evening thus spent. Ogalalla is figuring on a woolen mill with Chicago parties and is about deter mined to have it. We raise the wool awl-send it to Massachusetts. There it is manufactured into cloth and returned to us, we paying the freight both ways, besides three or four profits to middl9 men. Why not manufacture the goods at home and save some of this expense. We hope Ogalalla will get her mill. Why would bee culture not be profitable in Lincoln county ? In Iowa and in the eastern part oi tnis state Dees are handled with great success, and we believe if the proper effort was made they would do well here. E. tYmtcomb of Friend, Neb., is thoroughly posted on the subject, and we take the liberty to refer Tribune readers to him should they desire information. This is the proper time to study the subject, and tfeeawe can raise flowers ana nees m tne spring time. A man named W. J. Seward was kiled in the wreck nearRoscoe AVednes day Bight He had boarded the train at Ogalalla, and when killed was evidently stasdtng on a brake beam between the oars his body being smashed almost as this as a board. The body was not re "laasei until after the arrival of the wrecking train. On the body was found a letter addressed to the above name at Park City, Utah, from Miss Lizzie Shank law, Valiska, Iowa. A telegram sent to the above address received a reply directing that the body be sent there, which was done by the company. " Passenger train No. 3, which was due here from the east Wednesday night did not arrive till nearly 10 o'clock Thursday aoraing. The delay having been caused by a collision with a stock train a few Bulec east of Ogalalla, in which an BBkaown man was killed, Engineer Dillarc and and a porter on the Pullman wre considerably bruised and many of the passengers were badly shaken up. The engines were both damaged to some extent. It seems that the conductor of No. 8 waited at Roscoe till time allotted for freight train to arrive had passed, and supposing then ..that it would back Hp to Ogalalla, he started his train on. It is clained the east bound freight, after leaving Ogalalla had made a stop, to repair some part of the engine which had got oat of order, but had again started on ivmo me collision occurred. The stock was going very slowly and the pas- h 1 Al - ? . 1 "ugmcer ujr puiung on air orases ' a i a . . cugiue. uau inmost Drougnt I to a stand still elw tht rnncon nor , lin ewd have been even more serious WMHey were.

Sidney trait ;Usaia fataV H. M. Grimes was called to Gandy last week to conduct the defense in s prelim inary examination om the charge of murder. Is it not about time the old soldiers gave notice of the proposed camp fire or bean-eat," as our friend J. M. Ray puts it ? Why not go a step farther and make it a pleasant reunion? H. T. Crocket has shown us some of finest potatoes we have seen this season. of the variety "Early Ohio Pinkeye." They are beautiful and the quality is splendid, as we can certify, having given them a trial . The Paxton Republican comes down as bright and crisp and fresh as an October morn The master hand of Henrv L. Walsh is visible in the back. ground. Potatoes are turning out even better than expected, the yield being from 200 j to 500 bushels all over the county From one-fourth of an acre, I. A. Fort dug seventy bushels on his timber claim. This is not a very heavy yield but the quality is what pleases Mr. Fort. The Tribune was rather late in making its appearance last week and hundreds of inquiries were made as to the cause. Delays will happen occasion ally in any well regulated family and why not in newspapers. They are not liable to happen However oitener man once a year. There has been a great revival in busi ness during the past month, all branches of trade feeling the invigorating effect. Goods are sold so cheap in North Platte that people make a two or three days journey to do their trading here. Besides being so much cheaper, the stocks are larger and more varied than can be found at any city within a radius of ninety miles." Prairie fires are beginning to burn . As the grass is quite high this year, they are likely to be hard to control and much damage may be the result. A good plan is to prepare fire guards early in the season. But tnis is a mere suggestion, subject to the charge of "chestnuts." Every man should understand his own business, at least about fire guards any way. A farmer speaking of the large number of hogs in Lincoln county said that it was a great pity that the farmer? were not prepared to convert the crop into bason. Being compelled to market bis hogs alive, there is great loss to the farmer. The price of hogs varies greatly and is frequently away down, but the price of bacon never changes it alwavs commands ready sale and a goou price. I paid fifteen cents for a pound of ham today and 1 will sell my hogs for four cents this fall. When we sell our hogs thev so to Omaha or Chicago. All the commissions, all the profits, freights and expense of packing are taken out in advance and the finished product returned and sold to us at fabulous prices. What a pity, 1 say, we cannot do some of this work ourselves. I hope the farmers will soon be able very largely to make their hogs into bacon, and thus retain a portion of the commission and profits of middle men at home. On this question eminently correct, The Tribune has always con tended that as a people we buy too much and manufacture too little. Farmers may say that their time is fully occupied at present in raising and caring for their crops and stock. We admit that, but would it not be more profitable to raise less and devote a portion of the time to the conversion of the raw product into marketable articles? Thousands of pounds of dried beef are sold in this market every year, but notwithstanding this is one of the most favorable climates for makinit, we have never heard of a farmer bringing in a pound to sell. With cattle at 1 cents per pound.is notthis a favorable time to do something in this line? We agree with the gentleman that producers should endeavor to convert their hogs into bacou, and we add their cattle into beef also. Program for Oxford League Oct. 18th.

A peti tion was at once circulated asking the Bishop to allow Mr. Clifton to remain here another year, Below we give the Bishop's reply: York, Neb., Oct. 8 1889. Dear Brother Clifton: You are appointed to North Platte. The appeal of the church I am bound to respect.

The Bond Proposition Adopted. Saturday was an eventful day in the history of Lincoln county. It marked the taming point in our career from comparative inactivity to one of immediate development and progress. Perhaps there never was a time when the im portance of the occasion seemed more apparent to the voters, and every man who favored the scheme realized that it was his duty to cast his vote in favor of progress, however great the inconvenience or loss of time occasioned thereby. The day was unusually fair and beauti ful, warm and with j just enough southern zepnyr to make it enjoyable. All over the county the interest was intense. Many men who are opposed to subsidies on principle voted for the proposition, realiz ing that this was an extraordinary occasion. Notwithstanding a desperate effort was made to inject personal bias into the campaign, this had very little if t a . . . mt any innnence in ine voie. xne opposi tion was invariably from principle and not because of personal dislike to any of the promoters of the enterprise. It was a good natured canvass, the argument being based purely on figures. Below we give the vote by precincts : FOR. AGAINST North Platte 814 5 Brady Island 30 60 Suhshine 7 in Maxwell 16 6 Wallace 163 34 Osgood 32 Hall 25 4 Garfield -. 33 1 O'Fallon 4 21 Miller 10 2 Nowell 39 2 Nichols 32 2 Myrtle 5 14 Wellfleet 5 85 Cottonwood 8 2 Well 11 11 Willow 8 28 Birdwood 23 Dickens 2 34 Fox Creek 48 Walker 3 15 Deer Creek 4 2 My lander 14 5 Buchanan 41 As we go to press the precincts are not all in, but enough are received to show that the proposition is carried with about three hundred votes to spare. Board of Education Since the breaking of the dead lock in the Board of Education that body has transacted considerable business. On Oct. 3d, besides the transaction of other business the salaries of Misses Stolle and Bowen were raised to $60 per month and the following bills were allowed : Frank Peale, glazing, 10.08; Thos.

Hart was transferred from the intermediate department in central school to primary in Second ward, and Mrs. H. L.Jeter from primary in Second to intermediate in central The board then went into the election of principal and superintedent, which resulted in the election on second ballot of J. W. Wellner of Oswego, Ks., on con dilicn that he could be here by the 12th iust. On motion of Wilson, seconded by Von Goetz, the principal's salary was reduced to $100 per month, The secretary was instructed to receive bids from town dealers for five car loads of-Rock Springs coal, to be weighed -on Harrington's scales at dealers expense.

Miss Bertha Thoelecke was elected teacher of the Bratt school. Mr. Bratt was authorized to have repairs done on the school house . Allen's new Latin method was ordered for the high school.

M., of Swanton, Neb., was elected. The contract for putting blinds on the Third ward school house was awarded to Andy Pecard. The North Platte Lumber Co. was awarded contract for soft coal. Communication from Rev. A. Stump, protesting against change of Miss Jeter from primary of Second ward read and filed. In referencethereto the following entry was made: Thought by the board for the best interests of the schools to make the change by putting Miss Jeter in intermediate department of central build ing, and that said change stand until the board are satisfied to the contrary. A number of small bills were allowed, and the board adjourned. Shooting in Logan County. An unfortunate shooting affair took place in Logan county on Monday, Sept. 30, resulting in tne death of James Gilkison. It appears that Gilkison, who had a wife and seven children had been living in a house on the claim of Wm. Wells, Wells desired Gilkison to vacate the premises but the latter did not appear to be in a hurry to do so. There does not seem to have been any very serious quar rcl however On the day of the fatal shooting, the two men met at the house of a neighbor named West about 10 o'clock iH the morning. Wells started down to see West who was mowing a short distance from the house. He had gone only a few rods when he was called to by Gilkison. Wells had a shot gun and as he turned around laid it across his arm. Gilkison went to him and some hard words were exchanged. Gilkison making an effort to get at Wells, who warded him off with the gun. In a very short time the gun was discharged, the shot taking effect in Gilkison's right shoulder. Gilkison lived about fiteen minutes, bleeding to death. The gun was so close that his clothes were burned by the powder. Wells was arrested and he sent for H. M. Grimes of this city to come up and defend him. At the preliminary examin ation he was held for murder in the first degree, but was immediately re-arrested and held for murder in the first degree. Wells is a man about forty years of age and has a wife and four children. The prisoner has been placed in the Lincoln county jail for safe keeping. Postponed. Tbe sociable to have been given by Platte Valley Lodge No. 32, A. F. and A. M.. on Thursday evening, Oct 10th, has been postponed for the present. J. E. BULIiAKD.W. M. A Literary Society. Eds. Tbebuke: Would it not be well to organize a Lincoln County Literary Society; have organizations in the different precincts in the county and all get out and work for arousing an interest, for the development of Lincoln county tbe coming winter. I. A. Fort. Democratic County Convention. The Democratic County Convention met at the court house on Monday after noon and was called to order by Major Wm. Risse, chairman of the county cen tral committee. G. R. Hammond, of North Platte, was elected temporary chairman and Dr. Lenon, of Wallace, temporary secretary. Major Risse moved that a committee of three on credentials be appointed. The chair appointed as such committee John D. Kelliher, of Maxwell, Jesse Young, of Medicine, and W. L. McGee, of Worth Platte. The committee on credentials reported the following delegate? entitled to seats in the convention. North Platte No. 1 Wm. Stdcky, W N. Cartwright, G. R. Hammond, Jas. Herrod Louis Hock, Theo. Eirdam. North Platte No. 2 W. L. McGee, J. C. Hupfer, W. B. Risse, R. L. Graves. J. M. Dyer, and J. M. Dyer proxy for F. tiuiiard. North Platle No. 3 Jerry Cronin. G T. Snelling proxy for Henrv Peters, John W. Erabry, P. A. Norton. Cotton wood E. E. Ericson. Deer Creek David Robinson. Fairview A. B. Clayton. Mylander S. Mang. O'Fallon D. O. Dwyer. Wallace Jas. Wallace, Frank Wallace, James Seaton, L. C. Lenon. Spannuth W. M. Ritenour. Hall D. B. McNeal. NowpII Simmons S. White. Morrow P. Robertson . Maxwell J. D. Kelliher. Medicine Chas. E. Finch, Jesse A. Young. On motion the temporary organization was made permanent. The nomination for treasurer being in order, Maj. Risse placed the namo of Wm Grady before the convention, and Mr. Grady was nominated for treasurer by acclamation. Mr. Grady was called for aud made a very good speech, making some rash promises, however. The nomination of candidate for COUNTY CLERK was then taken up. Wm. N. Cartwright presented the name of W. S. Peniston ; W. L. McGee named R. L. Graves; Col. Hupfer named A. S. Brown; David Robinson named Dr. Lenon, of Wallace; and a delegate whose name we did not catch named Millard McKellup. Messrs. Cartwright and Fincli were ap pointed tellers. David Robinson moved that the first ballot be informal, which was carried. The informal ballot resulted as fol lows : Graves 18, Peniston 5, McKellup 2. Brown 2, Lenon 1 . A formal ballot was then taken aud resulted in the nomination of Graves by 19 votes. Mr. Graves was called 'for aud said he was not in position to give a3 much time to the canvass as he would desire, but he would be with the whole ticket, and felt that some of them would "get IhenV or words to that effect. Tbe next nomination was for sheriff. Major Risse moved that the secretary be instructed to cast the vote of tho conven tion for James E. Grace, w hich wsis ac cordingly done and Grace was declared the nominee. Then the convention proceeded to nominate a victim for county judge. Mj George T. Snelling was selected as the gentleman, the secretary being directed to cast the ballot of the convention for him. Major Snelling made a humorous speech. He said he thought he was out of politics. When a man is running for office he has a great many mean things said about him. Two years ago he was made nut a very bad man, and if the campaign had lasted two weeks longer the falsehoods, about ,him would have beenproven;tob.'Stilth!vas willing to go through the ordeal agajii and thanked the convention for the honpr of the nom ination. 3 ' On motion the office ef the clerk of the District Court was left vacant, the con vention probably thinking it would be worse tnan useless to put up a man against Elder. 1 For superintendent of publio instruc tion, Miss Mary E. Hosfofd was nominat ed by acclamation. Miss Hosford not being present, the gallantIaj. Risse was called upon to respond for her. Amid cheers the Major arose, although consid erably embarrassed, but he proved equal to the emergency. Dyer moved that A. D. On- be nominat ed for surveyor, and Snelling moved that the secretary cast the ;ba!lot. Both motions were adopted, to tho the tune of "Hold the Fort " The convention thought that Dr. Dul lard would make a good coroner and he was accordingly placed on the ticket. For county commissioner Lester Walker and C! F. Pre'itaner were nnraed. A ballot being had, Walker received 21 aud Preitauer 7. A motion was made to make Maj. Walker's nomination unanimous, but one delegate voted a loud ,lno." Maj. Walker in his speech alluded to the fact that the commissioner's place was hard to fill and please everybody, evidently having in mind the geutteman who would not be unanimous. He made some pleasant promises which pleased the delegates very much. W. B. Risse, R. L. .."Graves, W. C. Lenon, J.M. Dyer andFrank Wallace were appointed delegates to the State convention Delegates to the judicial' convention, W. L. McGee, Geo. T. .SneJling, J. C. Hupfer, Geo. Hammond J. M. Dyer.

Risse moved that inasmuch as the Republican convention had declared their allegiance to the voung giant of the new world, which is the famous prize ring trainer Muldoon, that we appoint a committee to draft resolutions declaring our allegiance to the giaut of the-great world, Grover Cleveland. Motion adopted, and Risse Cartwright and Young were appointed the committee. We were unable to obtain a co py of the resolutions in time for publication this week.
