Members Board of Education Longley, Mrs. Birge. j.ne city election yesterday -was more tlian usually quiet and there seemed to be a lack of enthusiasm on the part of the workers for the respective candidates for mayor and clerk, on -which the prin cipal fight was made. This quietude was due in some measure to the new system of voting which makes quite umerence witn xne "worKers," none o: whom were allowed in the immediate vicinity of the polling places. Quite little work was accomplished by button holing men on their way to the polls, and in this way, no doubt, many votes were changed from one candidate to another, Around the polls the new law worked like a charm, with a few exceptions. Some voters who had not taken time to read the instructions or did not care to, were somewhat confused with the new order of things, but it was probably no more confusing than having two or three ward politicians tackle him, as was the rule at former elections. f rom wnat couia De learned tne now law is satisfactory and the voters did not have the trouble that some predicted, During the afternoon a number of ladies visited the polls and cast their ballot for members of the Board of Education, fullv fiftv ladies in the Second ward using their suffrage. Below is given the vote as secured from the clerk's books, and we believe is nearly if not altogether correct Some claim that Federhoof received 71 instead of 55 votes in the Third "Ward, and if so he is elected over Mrs. Liongley. Our figures for the Third ward were obtained from the -clerk's books by one of the judges. 1st Wd. Wd. 3d Wd. For Mayor William Neville C. F. Ormsby E. B. Warner For City Clerk Nicholas Klein W.H.

The ladies of the altar society will give a social at the opera house on the evening of the 20th. The peincipal feature of the evening will be dancing which will be conducted from eight until ono o'clock. Light refreshments will'also bo served. The evening will undoubtedly be a very pleasant ono for all who attend. TALK OF CONTESTING. There was considerable talk on tho streets this morning that the election of Wm. Neville as mayor would bo con tested. The grounds for the contest is laid on a recent Iowa deoision to the effect that a man who agrees to " serve in a public official position without pay throws out a bribe to tho voters by so doing. It is likely, however, that the spirit of contest will die out in a day or two. There also talk of a contest on tho successful candidates for members of tho Board of Education, tho claim being made that a number of tickets were thrown out which should have been counted. The official canvass, however, will probably decide this. A Grand Island orbhestra of ten pieces will furnish music for tho En gineer's May Party. A few west-bound gentlemen of leisure, commonly designated as tramps, were in town Monday. These fellows were tho advance guard of tho army which is to follow as soon as the weather gets a little warmer. Tho next marshal, whoever he may be, should make an ef fort to corrall the tramps this summer and work them on the streets. Last Sunday the Right Rev. Anson R. Graves D. D. administered tho rite of holy confirmation to three candidates, all girls, in the Church of Our Saviour. Tho service was a particularly solemn one and the words of advice given by the Bishop, to those who were confirmed, were such as a father would give to his child, and were full of comfort and christian teaching. The Bishop's sermon was a masterly and eloquent one and tho eminent divine was listened to atten tively, as ho propounded the revelations contained in the Bible as proved by many heathen historians. The sermon was one which told of deep and earnest study and was greatly enjoyed by the large congregation, which completely filled tho edifice. In the afternoon the Bishop administered the rite of holy baptism to three infants. Another large congregation attended.the evening ser vice and were again delighted with a powerful sermon from the prelate. Bishop Graves left town Monday noon for Lexington to make his annual visita tion there and at Cozad to confirm can didates under the Rev. Robt G. Osborn who has those posts as well as Sidney. THE CITY CITY COUNCIL. The city guardians were, all present a the regular meeting Monday night After the usual preliminary business had been transacted the city attorney reported that he had collected and turn ed over to tho city treasurer the sum JSL27, being the net amount due the city from the bondsmen of A. Ries on the basis of a fifty cents on the dollar settlement The report was accepted as satisfactory. Ihe following petitions for liquor li censes were presented: Wm. Landgraf, J. C. Hupfer, Gertler &Waltemath. Also application for druggist's permit from A. F. Streitz. The petitions were referred to the judiciary committee. A petition for a sidewalk on Eighth street was referred to tho proper com mittee. Wm. Grady appeared before tho coun cil and asked that he be allowed to settle his account with the city on tho basis of fifty cents on the dollar, but wanted the time of payment extended until July Alter some discussion JVlr. (jrady's re quest was granted, with the understand: ing that he pay the costs of suit T. F. Gantt, in behalf of Lester Eells, appeared and asked that a settlement with Mr. Eells bo effected in considera tion of tho sum of $500, which Mr. Gantt thought was about one-half of the amount sued upon. The matter was thoroughly discussed, and it appearing that the amount due from Mr. Eells was in excess of $1,000, it was tho sense of the council that settlement with him be made on the same basis as that granted other parties. The city attorney was then instructed to settle with tho defen dant on a basis of fifty cents on the dol lar, for all principal and interest due the city; the defendant to pay costs of suit. Tho council then adjourned. 0. A.R. ANNIVERSARY. The twenty-fifty anniversary of the organization of tho Grand Army of tho Republic was duly observed bv S. A. Douglas Post of this city Monday even ing. Tho mooting was held at the court house and was attended by an audience that completely filled tho room. There were many ladies present, and during the evening thev rendered a number of patriotic songs. Rev. Smith was the first speaker and he was followed in turn by Messrs. Nesbitt, Church and Goozee. Owing to having another appointment the writer was present but a brief time, but he learns that tho speeches were good and heartily applauded. " After tho speakers were through a general discussion was held relative to asking the government for an enlarge ment of tho McPherson national ceme tery. This is the only cemetery west of Chicago and St. Louis and east of tho Pacific coast, and drawing from tho territory that it does, it naturally receives the remains of a great many soldiers. The enclosure is already about filled with graves, there only being room for forty more without encroaching on tho walks anc driveways. It is learned that 40 bodies will bo sent to this cemetery within the next month and where to put them is a question that is now vexing the superintendent. Believing that it ould bo well to ask tho government to enlarge tho cemetery in order to receive these bodies as well as those to come in future years, a committee consisting of Messes. Nesbitt Stockton, Smith, Goocee and Elder were appointed to present the case to proper authorities. The National Cemetery is a beautiful place and is growing more so every year and it would be a shamo to mar tho ard by digging up the walks and driveways in order to accommodate the bodies to arrive soon. And even if this was done it would only bo a short time until that space would be occupied. The enlargementjof the cemetery is only a question of time, and The Tribune be- ieves tho sooner tho work is performed the better. prop-Pine W. H. McDonald has sold the pertv on the cornor of Fifth and to Geo. T. Snelling. D. C. Congdon is making prepara tions to erect a house on tho lots just west of his home. An entertainment will shortly be given in our local Y. M. C. A. rooms by tho Y. P. S. C. E. that promises to bo a very enjoyable affair. Fong Ding, the Celestial clothes mangier, has purchased tho Perry brick building on Spruce street, tho considera tion being $3,000.

Tho wife of brakeman Rowe, who lives in tho eastern part of the city, was taken with spasm Sunday night and for a while her condition was very critical. Dr. Wm.

Russell & Co. of Masillion, Ohio, have a solid train of twenty-six cars of agri cultural implements enrouto to Portland which will pass through this'city at six o'clock on the evening of April 10th. It is now decided that "Lord Dun dreary" will bo reproduced by homo talent although the date has not been definitely settled. With one or two ex ceptions tho cast will be the same as before. There is somo talk of presenting the opera entitled "Tho Dairymaids" at the opera house in tho near future, the same to be in the interest of the Episcopal church. Quito a number of local vocalists havo consented to tike part Mrs. Maria Sawyer died at her homo in this city early Saturday morning of heart disease at the age of fifty-two years. The deceased was tho widow of tho late Jason G. Sawyer and mother of E. U. Sawyer. Funeral services wero held at Methodist church Sunday afternoon. The duty on sugar which was taken off April 1st, has resulted in lowering the price quite a little, North Platte merchants now giving sixteen pounds of granulated for one dollar, a reduction of nearly two cents per pound. To a man who has a largo family to support this reduction will amount to quite a sum at the end of a year. 3 MOVEMENTS OF PEOPLE. THE PERSONAL RECORDS FOR THE PAST SEVEN DAYS.

The little girl was sitting on tho railing of the porch Saturday evening swinging herself backward and forward, and losing her balanco fell to tho floor. Though the distance she fell was but two feet, she struck on her back and sustained a con cussion of the spine. Dr. Duncan was called and found her in a condition which gave no hopes of recovery, and during the night the little sufferer died. The funeral services wero held yesterday afternoon. Mr. Davis is a well-known railroad man, and in company with his wife have tho sympathy of many friends in this their sad bereavement. pie. In this city John Kelihor is doing the work in tho First ward, C. L. Patterson-in the Second and Colonel Owens in the Third. The infant child of Mrs. J. A. La"ub- enneimor died Saturday night after a. somewhat prolonged illness. Mrs. L's cup of sorrow has certainly been filled to- overflowing during the past two weeks by the death of her husband and child. -Colonel James Cannon, tho child of tho Alamo, and erstwhile resident of North Platte, is lecturing in the eastern part of the state. He advertises to inform his audience all about the Sioux uprising, the causes which led to the same, as well as much information regarding tho life and ways of the red men. The annual election of officers of the Palestine Commandery was held Friday- west nart of town was tho recipient of baptismal rites Sunday, the water for the service being taken from the river Jordan in which stream the Lord was baptized nearly 2,000 years ago. I hope the water used on the' infant may have a tendency to keep her pure and holy throughout her life. Sam TJrbach, who went to the father land several months ago is, I am told, having a pleasant timo among the scenes of his' early childhood days. I regret to learn, however, that he is somewhat delapidated physically and will soon go to tne celebrated uarlsbau springs in Bohemia for treatment It will bo to ward fall before Sam returns to North Platte. I run aoross Doug Brown yesterday, he having jjlst arrived from the ranch in McPherson county.

Tho members of Division 8S, Brother hood of Locomotive engineers, are now making preparations for their annual party to be held on tho evening of May Day. This annoucoment will be received with delight by the amusement loving people of North Platto who regard the May-Party as ono of the leading social events of tho entire year. While times are a little tight for giving a ball of such magnitude as has characterized tho en gineers' party, yet tho boys are going at the, work with a determination and vim which, will, result in the coming ball be ing fully up to the standard. Coming as it does when nature has just donned her spring robes, there has been an inclimi- tion on tho part of tho ladies to appear in now gowns and this has resulted in making tho ball somewhat of a swell affair.

H. Fulton, form erly an, engineer running out of North Platte, had been killed in a wreck on the Rio Grande near Salida, Col. The news was received with much regret by his many friends. It has only been about two weeks since Mrs. Fulton and son left the city to make Salida their home. Several TJ.

The Tribune would suggest to tho board of directors of our county agricul tural society that they offer a matri monial premium this fall to tho couple first making application to be married. on grounds during one of the" days on which the fair is held. A premium con sisting of a bed-room set could be offered by tho society, and it is likely our mer chants would contribute many articles needed by a newly "married coriple. A public wedding of this kind would no . doubt be a drawing card and bo a finan cial success to the fair association as well as to the couple.

Unluckily thero aro few who have any to sell, tho entire crop between the rivers and on tho north sido having been sold long ere this. About tho samo condition exists on the south sido, Bernard Beer being about tho only ono in that section who has any to spare. Loose, hay has been selling on tho streets during the past week at ten dollars per ton and it is a scarce article at that price. This is the highest hay has reached for a number of years. Men who sold their crop early in tho winter at $5 and $G per ton baled are, now vigorously kicking themselves for not holding it. Hay Land for sale by Dr. Longley. The tea party given by Mrs. H. M. Grimes on Thursday evening of last week was an event which will not soon bo erased from tho minds of those present Tho menu was varied and excellent, nicely served and duly enjoyed by the guests. After the tables wero cleared, each gentleman present was given needle, thread, buttons and cloth and requested to see how many buttons ho could sew on in two minutes' timo. Mr. McGee succeeded in smashing tho record and was given tho first prize, while J. A. Goodman, not being able to find his glasses, made poor headway and thus gained the booby. Progressive tiddledy winks was then played and this was sup plemented later by5 high-five. In the final wind up Mrs. Bare and Mr. Foley wero awarded tho head prizes and Mrs. Foley and Dr. Donaldson tho boobies. Tho party throughout was a most pleas ant ono and reflected credit on tho host and hostess. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Foley, Mr. and Mrs. Goodman, Mr. and Miss Iddings, Mr. and Mrs. Mc Gee, Mr. and Mrs. Randall, Dr. and Mrs. Donaldson, Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson, Mr. and Mrs. Bare.

The McCormick catalogue, which, by tho way, they keep for gratuitous distribution, is a work of art and will repay careful reading, while the litho graphic poster of the historic battle of the Monitor and Merrimac is the finest thing we have ever seen published.

A burning question in tho minds of some is: who will bo tho noxt city marshal? Mr. Nevillo stated to The .Tribune this morning that he had not promised tho position to any one, and would take timo to consider tho matter. The Tribune, however, is of tho opinion that E.

WORTHY OF AID. Mr. Editor: It appears that thero aro deserving cases where reiiet is oadiy needed, wnicn tho relief committo can not or will not supply aid. A case in point is that of old Mrs. McConnahay. She hfis a home stead north of town and last summer she got her ground plowed and put m a few acres of wheat, rye, corn and a few pota toes. She cultivated her crops herself, living on hor homestead until, starved out, sho had to come to town and go to work to support herself. All winter, though sick and rheumatic, she has washed and scrubbed to support herself and get enough ahead to live. and to hire her land plowed, hoping to receive seed from tho relief committee. allow chari table persons will "chip in" and help procure seed, as I understand that, al though hor application for seed was properly endorsed by tho county clerk, the worth commissioner in charge of the relief supplies refuses to honor hor draft, saying that if she can wash and get money enough to get her land plowed, sho can wash and get money and buy her seed. Mrs. McConnahay is the widow of an old soldier, a hard-working, deserving woman; and if any old soldier feels like investing a dollar or half dollar where tho interest is big and certain thoy can leavo it at tho post-office. W. CAUGHT IN THE ACT. The last issue of the Gandy Pioneer contains the following. Lon Combs, a resident of northern Lincoln county, was in town last Satur day seeking legal advice. Me told a Pioneer reporter the following story: About 8 o'clock Friday night he started across tho country afoot to tho residence of his brother, and as ho was passing tho school houso whero relief supplies for that precinct are kept ho saw two men in the act of loading a wagon with goods. Being a member of the relief committee, Mr. Combs considered it his duty to go and investigate matters. Ar riving at tho school houso ho was assaulted by ono of the men, who grabb ed him by throat, shoved the muzzle of a shot gun uncomfortably close to his face and threatened to blow his brains out. Mr. Combs succeeded in getting loose and started to run, whereupon the man with tho gun took a shot at him, but missed his mark. Tho men who at tacked him wore Messrs. Arundalo and Jordon, and ho knows no reason for the attack except that they wero afraid he would report the fact of their helping themselves to relief goods without the consent of tho distributing committe.
