Observer Piorcy of the U. S. signal
office, has furnished The Tribune with
tho meteorological summary for tho
month of August, and from the samo wo
earn that tho mean temperature for the
month was seventy degrees which, with
three exceptions is the lowest for August
in sixteen years. Tho highest tempera-
. i i T
turo was ninety-seven, wnicn occurrea
on the 8th, and tho lowest on tho 23d,
when the mercury dropped down to
brty-one. It was on tho night of the
last named date that we were visited by
a frost. During the month two sind one
half inches of rain fell, a little more than
fell during the, samo month last year and
tho year before. Tho month was a fairly
windy one, the total movement
aggregating 5,419 miles.. Tho
wind reached its highest velocity on tho
10th, when the- anemometer registered,
for a few minutes, forty-eight miles per
hour. During the month there were
eleven cloudless days, seventeen partly
cloudy and three cloudy. The greatest
range of tomperaturo occurred Monday,
when there was a variance of thirty-
seven degrees.
A certain farmer while in town

prices for his grain, and was well satis
fied with the manner in which the re
publican party was steering tho ship of
state. This talk rather "queered ' tho
judge, but he hummed and hawed a few"
seconds and then said: "Well you had
better sell vour grain at once, as tho
price now paid is simply hush money.
The monopolists are paying big prices
for the purposo of breaking up the inde
pendent nartv, and you will find that
after election prices will drop away
down." If the judge would hold the
independent nartv together ho must
advance better arguments than the
above, which is buncombo of tho most
shallow kind.

JOHN KEITH'S MISTAKE.
From tho North Bend Star we clip
the following story on John Koith, whicti1
will bo interesting reading to his North
Platte friends:
Lake Manawa, near Council Bluffs,
Iowa, is fast becoming a groat watering
place and pleasure resort Not only arc
Omaha and Council jBluffs people
attracted to it, but those for many miles
interior in Iowa and Nebraska come to
batho in its "sedgy" waters. Among .a
delegation of pleasure seekers who lately
visited this resort was our old time friend
John Keith, of North Platte. What
John don't know about a steer would
not make a very largo pamphlet, and
what he don't know about bathing and
bathing resorts, costumes, etc., and other
knowledge pertaining to tho pleasures
and divers frolics, to be enjoyed around
a health resort, if what is reported of
him is true, would make a very large
library. Arrived at Manawa, some of
John's lady friends at once opportuned
him to "tako a bath-"" His inato modesty,
and retiring disposition, which even in
lull uress nas Deen as large a factor as
any other in keeping him a single man
rebelled at the idea of a"bathing costume.
TT
nowever oy winsome coaxing ho was
finally induced to promise compliance
and made for tho boat houso for tho
purposo of arraying himself in bathing
habiliments. It was not long befpro he
appeared, but great heavens! What a
sight! His lady friends left him m utter
dismay; the strangers about him laughed
and tittered; John was nonplussed. He
could not account'for this sudden and
strange behavior. He was indignant, he
raised himself to his fullest height, look
ed about him and asked of one of' the
attendants, as the wind soughed softly
through his magnificent besfrd: "What
jn tho devil is tho matter with everybody
any way?" Tho attendant who could
hardly suppress outright laughter,
whispered in ins ear, "iou have your
pants on wrong side before and they are
open in the back." John flew for the
boat house,dressed himself in his citizens
dress, left the premises without making
an apology, or saying a good-bye and
jumped the first train for the Bluffs. It
is suicidal to mention the matter to him,
let it drop. :

day and the shops begin to look as thoy
did years ago when things wero on the
hum.
Machinist J. M. Sullivan left at noon
yesterday T for Grand Island where he
will spend several days taking in the
reunion.
Z The old boiler washer, Fred Brau,
started to work again yesterday morning
after being out of the shops several
years.
J. P. McGovern, the affable express
agent, returned tho latter part of tho
week from Iowa City, accompanied by
his family.
Business has increased on the road to
such an extent that an additional switch
ongino was put to work at tho stock
yards. Engine 749 has been delegated
to do this work.
G. F. Weingand, of the paint depart
ment, left Sunday morning for a ton days
visit in the principal towns of Nebraska.
He will probably bring back some lady
friends with him.
Engine 709 came in from the west Fri
day morning with a broken frame, the
repairing ot which caused quite a rush
in tho shop, as tho engine was badly
needed on tho road. The blacksmiths
had to work over-time in order to get
their part of the job completed.
Mr. Osborn camo up from Grand
Island the latter part of tho week and
assumed the duties of storekeeper. Ho
is a married man and will movo his fam
ily here as soon as ho can secure n house.
Ho succeeds Mr. Wheodon, who takes
the position vacated at Grand Island.
Edgar Donahowor, a helper in the
blacksmith shop, sustained a bad bruise
on his loft foot Monday by a heavy piece
of iron dropping from the stoara hammer
crane. Dr. Dick dressed tho wound and
found it to be of a rather serious naturo;
so bad as to lay Frank on tho shelf for
several weeks.

I We the undersigned teachers of Lin-
E. Hosford a competent superintendent
of public schools, and strictly impartial
in the performance of her duties, hereby
most earnestly -recommend her to the
voters of Lincoln count and hope that
popular approval of her past services
will be expressed by electing her for a
second term:

HAS PROVES SATISFACTORY.
Cottonwood Springs, Aug. 31, 1891.
. Editor Tribune: Referring to tho
coming candidate for county superinten
dent to be placed in nomination by tho
republicans of Lincoln county, I would
say that every teacher I have seen since
the late county institute speak with the
greatest praise of Mis3 Hosford. Tho
teachers feel, that a failuro to ro-olect
her would bo something to be avoided,
and all must admit that no one class of
peoplo havo a better chance to know of
tho good work of tho present incumbent
than the teachers of Lincoln county. I
therefore think tho voters, having the
best interests of our schools at heart, will
be slow to change. Fully three-fourths
of tho peoplo of the county prefer Miss
Hosford, but the party lash may make
them voto differently. Somo of the in
dependents admit that thoy made a
mistake in not nominating Miss Hosford
and they will voto for her it sho is nom
inated by tho republican convention. I
therefore think the republican party can
make no mistake in nominating tho lady
for another term. B. F. Baker.
J. S. Hoagland and T. C. Patterson,
representatives of tho republican league
of North Platte, were in this city Mon
day and at the solicitation of homo re
publicans assisted in organizing a league
that evening. Though the notice was
short and the night stormy a good crowd
turned out and a strong club was formed.
Norman Jackson was chosen president,
L. R. Penfield, secretary, and J. Mc
Gregor treasurer, of the league It was
decided to use all honorable means to
secure the election of competent repub
licans to official positions during the
campaigns of 1891 and 1892. A resolu
tion was jiassed that the lisfbf members
be kept at tho Star office, and all who
will support tho republican ticket were
invited to call there and enroll their
namesv Interesting talks wero made by
Messrs, Hoagland and Patterson, who
exposed the methods of Snelling, Stock
ton, Beatty, Rhea and Neville and gave
encouraging words for tho prospect of
complete victory lor the republicans in
Lincoln county. Wallace Star.

The report of the Nebraska weathor
bureau for the weok onding August
29th says: Tho week past has been one
of phenominally low temperature for
August, with light frosts, checking the
growth of corn but not materially injur
ing it otherwise. Tho temperature of
the week has been from seven to nine
degrees below tho normal; light frosts
wero very general on the 23d and 21th;
tender garden vegetables wero slightly
injured in many places-on low ground.
No. damage to corn has been reported.
Sunshine has been about average. The
rainiall varied irom almost none to over
two inches, being generally abovo the
average. Owing to the cool weather of
the past week corn has not matured as
rapidly as it should at this season of the
year. In tho southeastern part of the
state some fields are regarded as out of
danger from frost; yet the greater part
of it in this and all of it in other parts of
tho Btato is so baokward that much
warm weather is still required to mature
it.
Davis & Gatward will receive this
week a carload of the celebrated Moline
wagons, the easiest running wagon in
the market.
