Only five men in North Platte were

unanimous in the city.

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

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

H. M. Grimes was called to Gandy last
week to conduct the defense in s prelim
inary examination om the charge of

Is it not about time the old soldiers
gave notice of the proposed camp fire or

it ? Why not go a step farther and make
it a pleasant reunion?
H. T. Crocket has shown us some of

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Medicine Chas. E. Finch, Jesse A.

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.

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
