cotton mill company arrived in that city Sunday
evening and they affirm that work on the mill will

earnest.
The heat in the middle and eastern states has
been very excessive during the past week, hun
dreds of persons being prostrated and many
fatalities occuring. The death rate among chil
dren in the large cities has been alarming. Here
in North Platte, the weather has been warm, but
we believe only one or two temporary prostrations
have occurred.
The amount of school money received from
tho State by this county from the June apportion
ment was $2,53U1; fine and fl5.C2 fractional

dent The amount to each district was 18.13 and
$00.0678 for each person of school age. The money

Andy Scharmanri and Andy Weinberger
thought they would take advantage of repairs be

when the orchestra Messrs. Olds, Shepard and.
Redmond struck up, there were about twenty
couple on the floor. In spite of the warm evening,
the dancing was continued until after midnight
Refreshments were served during the evening and
no means was spared to make the evening a
pleasant one for those present. It was a very
pleasant party and the boys deserve much credit
for the able manner in which they entertained
their guests.
The union Sufiday-school picnic at Calhoun's
grove Thursday last was participated in by the
Presbyterian, Methodise, Lutheran and Episcopal
schools of the city and by the Hillside school of ih
north side. The procession to the grove, which if.
some five miles north, left the city about eleven
o'clock, arriving at tho destination in plenty time
to spread lunches for a one o'clock dinner. After
dinner there was an impromptu programme of
exercises consisting of addresses by Revs. Stump
and Hart, recitations by the Hillside school and
singing by the assembled audience. It may well
ttt mentioned here that although organized but
four aonths the Hillside school was represented at
this gathering by fifty-seven members. The day
was well .enjoyed by sUf notwithstanding it was
warm and the shade limited. TjUt -Tbibcnk is in
formed that much of the success of talsnion
gathering is due to Mrs. Ritner and. Messrs.
Wolkpram! Calhoun,
THREE THOUSAND AND FIFTY-FIVE.
First -ward, 898, Second ward, 1339,
Third ward, 818.
The above figures represent the popu
lation found in North Platte, by the
enumerators. That the amount is con
siderably, below the actual population
there is not a particle of doubt, as a num
ber of instances where persons were not
enumerated are mentioned, and the
opinion is expressed by persons compe
tent to judge that 'fully 200 have been
omitted. The actual resident population
is about 3,300.
While this is not so great an increase as
was expected, the figures nevertheless
show a healthy growth. In 1885 the
state census gave us 2540. We are grow
ing slowly but surely, and that growth is
of a substantia, permanent mature. Tbe
character of the people has changed;
formerly they were transient, but now
they are permanent. They are here to
make homes, and are making homes.
Coming here originally with the inten
tion of staying but "a short time, they
found North Platte a pleasant place to
live in, and they have made It their per
manent home, many of them growing
rich and all prospering.
A Liquor Case Settled.
Frank Gapen, of Wellfleet, made com
plaint last week, tfcat one John Franklin
had been selling ' beer, the said John
Franklin having no license or authority
so to do, as in such cases made and pro
vided. Accordingly County Judge'Snell
ing gave tho warrant into thej hands of
Sheriff Buker, who proceeded to the resi
dence of Franklin, near the Frontier
county line, and took him into custody.
The procession arrived here on Mon
day evening and negotiations were at
once made to settle the case. Frankiin
promised that he would not sell any
more liquor and tho prosecuting witness
was prevailed upon not to appear, so the
defendant was discharged having first
paid the costs, amounting to a "right
smart" sum.
It don't pay to sell liquor without li
cense in Nebraska. If you want to do
that you can go over into Kansas.

There have been a number of cood
showers, covering nearly all parts of the
county during the past week, but right in
town tho rain fall has been licht. On the
29th the. guage at the signal offlce caught
.21 of an inch. As we go to press the
atmosphere indicates rain.
P. W- Baker has a number of catalpa
trees in the beautiful little grove sur
rounding his residence. The larger one,
n tree well branched and about twenty
five feet high, is now in bloom, presenting
n beautiful appearance. The flowers give
forth 'a sweet fragrance not unlike mag
nolia, perfuming the atmosphere for quite
a distance. Such trees.are rarely seen in
these parts.
The street commissioner is causing
the gutters Iong the principal streets
running east and west to be clean-,
ed out and brought to proper grade, so.
that the water in a raiuy time will flow off
freely instead of overflowing the lots and
blocks in the west part of town. There
is. not a very great amount of water flow
ing through the streets just at present,
but there may be in the near future.

We are sorry that'North Platte does
not celebrate the Fourth of July this year.
All the little towns round about are cele
brating. Ogalalia, Paxfpn, Brady Island,
Gothenburg, Wellfleet ib1 Wallce are
each to have a grand and Wg time, but
North Platte, the largeafr town io the
State west of Kearney, will'be as quiet as
on any Sunday morning,... It is true that
it costs something Uxret-up a good cele
bration, but the money is.raore than re
turned by the people.i who are gathered
from the surrounding, country. Tiie
Tribune suggests that next year North
Platte shall have a celebration that may
properly be denominated'graud."
W. C. Elder and ,Wa. ISmerson went
down to Lincoln last jreek to attend the
meeting of the Veterans. Barring the
heat they report that their visit was
pleasant. There was. a large attendance,
and a marked feature of the gathering
was the earnestness, aianifested by all
present. The old soldiers feel that they
have not been fairly treated and will not
rest until promises aa-je been fulfilled.

Meeting of the Republican County Cen
tral Committee.
TJhe Republican county central commit
tee met in the court house last Saturday
afternoon, pursuant to call of Chairman
Wilcox, there being n good representa
tion present.
The chairman-stated the object of the
meeting was to call a county convention,
arrange for basis of representation, fix
primaries, and nr-
holding
the time of
range details.
The first question taken up was that of
fixing basis of representation.
Mr. McAllister moved that the basis be
the same as last year that is one dele
gate for each twenty votes and one for
each major fraction thereof, cast for
Judge Norval in 1889.
After considerable discussion the mo
tion was adopted.
A motion was made that the covention
be called for the purpose of selecting
delegates to all the conventions and nom
inating a county ticket.
Capt. Baker, of Cottonwood, said that
he had at first been in favor of holding
only one convention and making
all the nominations at once, but
"upqn reflection, he believed the better
course would be to hold an early conven
tion for the selection of delegates to the
State convention and one later, say some
time in September, for the other work.
He therefore opposed the motion.
Mr. Osgood moved to amend so that
convention be called only to choose - dele
gates to the state convention.
After discussion participated in by
Messrs. Osgood, McAllister. Forrest,
L-Dudley, Meyers, Baker, Clayton, and
others, tho amendment was aanpieu oy a
vote of 13 to 6.
Chairman Wilcox remarked that the
affirmative vote was so decisive that it
seemed unnecessary to put the main ques
tion, so the convention will be called to
choose delegates to tiie State convention
only.
The date of tho convention was then
set for Saturday, July 19th, at 2 p. ra., at
the court house in North Platte. The
primaries to bo held on Saturday, July
12th, in North Platte precincts from 3 to
0 p. m. and in the county precincts from
5 to 7 p . m .
A motion was made and secouded that
the committee recomme nd that no
proxies be admitted to the convention and
that the delegates present cast the full
vote of the precinct.
This gave rise to an animated discus
sion, several members fearing that if
adopted it might result in the disfran
chisement of country precincts. Several
amendments were offered and lost, one
to make the rule apply t North Platte
only, another that if a delegate is sick or
unable to attend he be permitted to give
a proxy. After full explanation the
original motion was adopted unanimously.
The committee theu adjourned

A Bis Case.
The assignment of Rider & Green of
Wallace, will likely lead to a large
amount of litigation. The caso came up
on Thursday before the county judge for
the appointment of an assignee. There
are seventeen different creditors mention
e'd in the deed of assignment, a majority
of whom were represented, but they were
unable to agree, the two principal cred
itors Tallinjr to come -into court upon.
learning that a certain person would be
appointed. Consequently the goods re
main in the hands of Sheriff Baker, lock
up awaiting legal action.
The liabilities are about 7,127.00 and
the stock invoiced $8064.00, but there is
always a depreciation and it is quite like
ly that the creditors will not realize over
75 cents on the dollar, unless a good bus
iness man is put in charge of the stock.
The case is making a large amount of
work for the court and lawyers. All the
attorneys of Wallace, C. C. Williams -of
Grant, and nearly all of North Platte
have been retained by the different cred
itors. From present indications the legal
work Jias just commenced and it may take
all of these gentlemen a year or more to
adjust the numerous questions raised.
