His I I" A PLEASANT OCCASION. "When the members of the Second ward hose team christened their organi zation the "B. I. Hinman Hose Com pany," they made a ten-strike in more trays than one. In doing so they honored a gentleman -who for the past twenty years has been closely identified with the social life and commercial progress of the city; a man who has always enjoyed the esteem and confidence of every acquaint ance. They also did an act whiclrbas redounded to their success financially, as Mr. Hinman has been very generous to the company in several past instances. Several weeks ago Mr. Hinman sug gested to tho hose company that they had better secure a banner to display on parade occasions and that the members select a suitable one and he would see that the bill was paid. The members felt highly gratified by this kind offer and at once ordered a banner. It arrived some time ago and is a veritable beauty. It is of yellow silk, blue edges, and trimmed with gold fringe. At the top in a fwld of blue are the gold letters "B. L. Hinman Hose Co. No. 2;" in the center the cut of a fire engine and below the words "North Platte, Nebraska, Organ ized Feb. 12, 1888." Feeling that they owed a debt of thanks to the generous donor, the mem bers of the hose company, accompanied by their wives and best girls, together with the city officials and their ladies, visited the Hinman residence Thursday evening and knocked for admission. They were kindly and cordially received by Mr. and Mrs. IL and at once made to feel at home. After a few formalities Mr. French, in behalf of the company, arose and in a neat and fitting speech presented Mr. Hinman with an elegant gold-headed cane. In accepting this token of esteem the recipient made a brief and feeling reply, thanking the boys for the cane and the manifestation of good will, and at the same time inti mated that he had not done any more for the company than it deserved. After these proceedings the party passed several hours in social en joyment, at card eamos and other amusements refreshments of a palatable nature being served at a proper hour. The evening throughout was re plete with pleasure, and the event will long be remembered by those in attendance. PEIWO.VAL MENTION'S. Mrs. Win. Emerson has been visiting Mrs. W. T. Brown, at Paxton.

The Tkibotte extends best wishes for a bright future for Mr. and Mrs. Burritt The Roycefc Lansing company oc cupied the boards at Lloyd's opera house Monday evening, and played to good business.

Deck believed in protecting the interests of the laborers of America, while Schrader favored absolute free trade. Broken Bow Re publican. Several improvements have been made around the court house lately and the good work should not cease until some much needed repairs are made in the court room. The Tribune regrets to say that the hall in which justico is meted out two or three times a year is ono of the most barren and shabbiest in the state of Nebraska and one that every citizen of the county may well feel ashamed of. We believe the general fund is at present depleted, but we hope that the commissioners in making their estimate of expenses next year will not forget that several hundred dollars will be needed to properly repair and furnish the court room. Tho Walters opera company is hold ing three rehearsals daily and the man ager, Mr. Walters, expects to place the play, "Loo Lab," upon the stage on or about the 15th inst. The people secured for this company are the best obtainable and include several who for years have held a high place in the theatrical pro fession and it is only reasonable to be lieve that the entertainment to be given in the near future will be well worth the patronage of the public- Immediately arte? the production of .the play in this I'- J-.-' " T'liTT '1- i ' ' '' Lfl" "II1L,'T isity the oompaay jroes eii thp road. The route is not yet definitely settled, but it will probably be through the states of Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota and the Dakotas. In a later issue The Tribune will have more to say of this company. As "Ole Oleson" would say, "there are two or three wayB to take the peel ing off a cat" So thought R. N. Roba thorn, of Elmwood, Nebraska, a grain and stock dealer, when he had been watching a "respectable citizen," Martin Thorne, frequently carry off a basket or sack of corn from his elevator for the last few months. A few days ago the unsuspecting Martin sold his two hogs, that he had been fattening on the ill gained corn, to the stock dealer in ques tion. The weights were figured up and Mr. Thorne paid in cash, minus 86.80, for which Robathorn presented a bill like this: "Martin Thorne, debtor, to R. N. Robathorn, 86.80, for seventeen bushels of stolen corn at 40 cents per bushel." Thorne "acknowledged the corn" and accepted the bill. Gothen burg Independent The official count of tho population of the Third congressional district was announced at "Washington last Saturday. Lincoln county is credited with 10,434 population, as against 3,632 in 1880 a gain in ten years of 6,802. Glorious old Lincoln! In the matter of gain she stands. sixth out of fifty-four counties. The total population of the district is 372,173, a gain over 1880 of 244,152, a grand showing for Nebraska's north west In ton years the population lacks but 1,890 of having trebled, while the actual net gain is about sixty-six per cent Those old settlers who knew this count' fifteen or twenty years ago, when it was but a barren plain, dotted over with herds of cattle, with not even a vil lage of any consequence, aro in a posi tion to better realize the vast increase made during the past ten years than many of those who make up the increase. Keith county is credited with a popula tion of 2,548, Dawson 10,126, Logan 1,372 McPherson 394, Custer, 21,647, Perkins 464. SIXTH STREET AND THE CITY GOVERN? MENT. Eds. Tribune. The condition of Sixth street between Spruce and Locust streets would seem to show that the city is running itself. The same old story. Taxes raised and "blowed in" with nothing to show. It seems to be no one's particular business, therefore nothing done. I notice it is some one's business when there is a cow to be impounded, or when the time comes to collect from the prostitutes. In fact if there is a dollar or two in sight it is some ones particular business. W. 'OCLAMATIONr I hereby notify the public that from this date my store will be open until 8 o'clock p. m. I do this in order that those who wish to look through my stock of stoves in the evening can do so. My stock is very largo and must he sold regardless of cost Come early and get your choice before the assortment is broken, for they are going fast Every thing else at bottom prices. Respectfully, L. Strickler. FRANK J. KELLY HE ADDRESSES A LARGE AUDIENCE THE OPERA HOUSE SATURDAY EnaflTN,' as And Presents Figure to Prove hibltlon ts not a Success In Kelly is a Plain Forcible Spei leK AS INTELLIGENT GATHERING. . The anti-prohibition meeting at, the: opera house Saturday evening was at tended by an audience which filled eTery chair on the floor and many who ,omm' in late were forced to stand. The speaker of the evening was Hon. Frank J. Kelly, at Lincoln, who prior to his restoral to Nebraska last fall, resided in Kttaaa for seventeen years, and was for three terms a member of the legiaiatare of that state. Mr. Kelly is a temper ance man, advocates temperance, but from personal experience in Kansas can; not feel favorable to prohibition, aad te: sustain his stand presented to the aud?; ience an array of facts and figures prov-j ing that the prohibitory measure adopt-: ed by Kansas had an ill effect upon that; state both morally and financially. The statistics presented by the speaker came1 from sources which should proW", their reliability, and these were backed by his! own observation and experience. They would therefore seem to stand the' test of a critical examination and be found' correct He presented figures 4to prove j that under prohibition crime in Kansas had increased prorata with the increase in population, that tho number of govern-': ment licenses, used by so-called drug stores, had increased over 1,000, that the population in many of the cities was de creasing, that the real estate values had been lowered and that the moral con dition of the people had not been better ed. He compared Kansas with Nebraska and it must be said that the picture he presented to the audience was very fav orable to the latter state. He commended the work of the W. C. T. U. and all other tem perance organizations and believed they were doing a great and good work; but in the light of past experience in Kansas the adoption of a prohibitory measure would not gain the end to which temperance workers aspired that of prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors, Mr. Kelly is not what can be termed an eloquent speaker, but he handled his subject well and kept the attention of his audience throughout the evening. ' Occupying chairs on the stage were a number of our business men who advo cate temperance but will vote against the constitutional amendent, believing that the Slocumb law is tho best meas ure thatjiasyet been enacted by any state legislature. EARLY CLOSING OF BUSINESS HOUSES. Eds. Tribune: Some peoplo are al ways growling about something or other and they growl the most when they have nothing to kick about The last one of these individuals is Borne sore head kicking through the columns of the Current because the stores do not keep open until 8:30 p. m. We do not know who the growler is but suppose he is some person who was never in a city and of course is unacquainted with the way business is and should be conducted; He has been accustomed to buying gooW in some country .store where the faw lives in me rear eou sou tuoy get UP time in the night to' accommodate the "Citizen" with a pound of nails or sugar. Having been accustomed to this kind of treatment, he feelB indignant because he does not receive the same treatment in North Platte. He says early closing during the hot summer months is all right, but at this time of the year it won't do. The above statement shows the quality of the brains possessed by the poor unfortunate writer. How many peoplo, do you think, do shopping at night during tho cold winter? You do not know of any one who waits until night to do his or her trading. The writer should wake up, shake the dust from his brogans, brush the hay seed from his clothes and remember that he is in a city and not in the coun try. Don't give your birth-place away by making any more such remarks. You ought to ring in with the editor of the Current He made a kick a short time ago about the good farmer trade North Platte had in McPherson county. This statement shows how much tho Current knows about the matter. Wo think closing the stores early dur ing tho summer months is worse than closing in winter, as the ladies do not like to do their shopping during the hot portion of the day. However, the stores, closecPearly during the summer, and it was a hot one, too, but we have not heard of a lady who deprived herself of any thing she wanted on account of those hot summer days. We know what you want, old kicker. You want us to keep open so you .can loaf in our grocery stores, oat our crack ers and cheese and spit tobacco juice on . , i il 1 Ml our stove; out we aon c tmnK you win get tho chance. We work thirteen hours a day and think that plenty. If you don't, just take our places a few .days and you vil think the same as w'o do. Our old reliable merchants all say that business is as good if not better since they began closing at seven o'clock than it was before, and that they are perfectly satisfied with the arrangement There are several newcomers who are not fa vorable to early closing but we believe it will bo best in the end for them to fall in line with the older merchants.

While there I attended a picnic of the farmers at the grove on Little Medicine aad had the pleasure of listening to an address by Hon W. H.

Both gentlemen made good speeches and I could find but little fault Thore were but few present only fourteen voters, threo Republicans, two Demo crats and the balance doubtful. From the picnic I went to Wellfieet, where the Republicans were holding a caucus for tho purpose of nominating a precinct ticket I found some twenty-fivo Repub cans present and all were happy and confident that this fall Medicine pre cinct would poll a largo Republican vote. I nevor saw tho Republicans of Medicine precinct united as they are this fall.

On Wednesday and Thursday evenings of last week North Platte people were privileged to listen to that great temper ance apostle, Luther Benson, of Indian apolis, Ind., and hundreds took advantage of the opportunities. A full house greeted him Wednesday night, and that his efforts were appreciated was evident from the frequent applause given. He is noted for his eloquence and descriptive powers, and the portrayal of hk past life fifteen years in hell, as he is pleased to term it had a visible effect as the audience. Mr. Benson's description of delirium tremens was true to life he has had them himself and caused a shudder to perambulate the backbone of many of his listeners. He holds his listeners spell-bound, and one could have almost' heard the drop of a pin at any time during the delivery of his lectures. Before beginning his talks Mr. Ben son requested that crying children be removed from the house, explaining that none loved babies better than himself, but once when in the throes of tremens for one whole night he had thought himself stepping on the little innocents, crushing their bones and hearing their wails, and the cry of a child in his audience so vividly brought to mind that awful night that he could not bear to hear it. Thursday evening an admission, fee of ten cents was charged, and the crowd of course was not so large as on tne pre vious evening. Mr. Benson delivered one of his best lectures, and it was well received. Mr. Benson presented strong argu ments in favor of the adoption of the amendment, and his efforts were very satisfactory to those who favor cold water in preference to Tom and Jerry and straight cocktails.
