THE LOCHL LYRE. A meeting of the county assessors will be held at the court house on the 15th of March. Next Monday is the day quadrenni ally afforded the ladies for exercising their leap year prerogative. W. D. Waldo left last night for the east for the purpose of purchasing a cou ple of cars of draft horses, which in his opinion this- market demands. The.officeKf the'county clerk and suporinteticJetitr of" publio instruction hare been papered, giving tho rooms a much improved appearance. Rev. E. A. Russell, of Ord, Neb., assisted by the resident minister Rev. Bewick, is holding revival meetings at the Baptist church this week. The snow storm of yesterday was much heavier west of us than it was here. Trainmen say that the snow came down in chunks instead of flakes. Perry Corbett has sold his house and lota on the north side to Hugh Bird. This looks very much as though Hugh expected to embrace matrimony soon. Mrs. Jenness-Millor, the dress re form advocate, will probably, deliver a lecture in this city in April. She is an old-time acquaintance of Judge William Neville. Washington's Birthday was observed to some extent in North Platte, the U. P. ehops and the banks being closed and numerous flags floated from the tops of buildings. The stores were closed after twelve o'clock. P. W. Sitton has moved his work shop to a room over Grady's store where he will bo prepared to do all classes of work in his line. He will also make tho picture frames needed by Photographer Broach. Samuel Randolph, a farmer living five miles southwest of Wallace, got his right arm caught in a corn sheller and torn off close to tho shoulder. After lingering several days tho unfortunate man diodFriday night of internal hemor rhages. Rev. C. P. McDonald, Rector of the Church of Our Saviour, spent last Sun day in Grand Island, Mr. W. J. Blue supplying his place. Services will be held here by Mr. McDonald on Sunday as usual. The public are always cordial ly welcome to tho services of the church. Remember that Rroach has pur chased Sitton's stock of picture mould ing, which in addition to his own complete stock, enables him to please the most fastidtious, and Perry manufac tures them to tho order of his patrons which is a guarantee as to the workman like manner in which they are made. B. X. Robinson is mentioned as a probable candidate for mayor; in fact it is stated that his friends have already done considerable quiet work for him. That Mr. Robinson possesses all requisite qualifications for tho office and that ho would well perform his duties, there is no room for doubt. Mrs. Gillett opened her dining hall Thursday with a largo patronage, but on Saturday she and her daughter Mrs. Adams were taken seriously ill and in capacitated from duty. It was at this time that Mrs. Gillett received a liberal offer from a Mr. Harshman for tho fix tures and good-will of the place, and she accordingly made a sale. The purchaser1 has gone to Norfolk for his family and will havo tho dining hall opened in a few days. An old trapper, with an old horse, a team of cows and a dilapidated vehicle, all apparently as old as tho trapper him self, attracted considerable attention as they passed through town, .vestward bound, Monday. The old gentleman said ho was going to Brady Island to catch a beaver he left up there a few years ago. It is said ho is some on catching skunks and lying. This latter accomplishment is always conceded to be the trappers principal stock in trade and is not re ferred to hero as a term of reproach. Gothenburg Independent Pa-he-haska Tribe No. 10, Order of Red Men was instituted Saturday evening in the presence of a number of prophets, sachems and braves from Lincoln, Hast ings and Cheyenno. The charter opened with one hundred and nine members, which is by far the largest charter mem bership of any secret society which has been organized in this city. This order is said to be an excellent one, in fact it must be else tho membership of this new tribe would not be so large. At the close of the ceremonies a banquet was held at the Vienna restaurant The delegation to tho G. A. R. en campment at Columbus returned Friday. The western Nebraska contingent work ed hard for the election of A. H. Church as commander, but through a combina tion made by Lincoln and Hastings, General Dilworth, of the latter place, was elected. Judge Church, however, was elected senior vice-commander by accla mation, and being called before the encampment made a speech which was received with enthusiasm. Several delegates remarked to a North Platte man that it Church had made that speech before the balloting for com mander had commenced he would have been easily elected to that position, and that he is sure to be elected next year. At the charity ontertainment Mon day evening the attendance was such as to till tho court room to its fullest capa city; in fact the crowd was uncomfort ably large and it was a push and "scrougo" from beginning to end. But a crowd was what the management de sired, and it is also well to state that as a rule the people present liberally patron ized the refreshment tables. Owing to the noise and scuffle made by the crowd, the musical and literary part of the pro gramme might as well have been omitted, as onlv those in the immediate vicinity of tho stage could hear. The tableaux, of which there were some five or six, were well put on, and reflected credit on tho ladies getting up the same. Many relics of worth were exhibited in the puriosity shpp, among the number being the Roman saddle possessed dv uoionei Cody, -and a pair of boots worn by our illustrious and well-known townsman CoL-Smith Clark when he was but three rears old. Taken altogether tho enter tainment was a great success and the Ladies' Afternoon Club, under whose ausnices it was civej.'bave reason to feel A. " that they were well rewarded for their trouble. Tho net receipts were about one hundred and ten dollars, which amount will be used in relieving the un fortunate Jxxir of the ciy. D. M. Hogsett and Judge Austin are erecting a new store building at Herehey. C. A. Holtry will handle farm imple ments in connection with lumber and coal at Sutherland. Broach can catch the ever-changing expression of your baby's face even in his happiest moments. It is expected that the Catholic bishop of this dioceso will visit this Parish within a few weeks. Mrs. J. E. Grace, who was very low Saturday and Sunday, is slowly con valescing at this writing. Wellfleetand vicinily contributed 353 bushels of corn to the Russian sufferers. Quite a liberal donation, indeed. The bad condition of the- country roads has interferred considerably with farmers marketing grain at this point. An official statement of the receipts and disbursements of tho city during the past year will be published next week. The general merchandise store of A. F. Keith at Curtis was consumed by fire early Sunday morning. The loss on stock and building is placed at $20,000, with no insurance. Broach is the only . photographer North Platte has ever had that has mado a complete success of his business; this on account of the high character of the work he turns out The members of the Apollo club will hold a danco at the Keith hall on Front street on Monday evening of next week. It is likely the full membership of the club will bo present. This dance will be tho last one before Lent, which com mences Wednesday noxt. A Lincoln man landed in Wallace the other day and began buying wheat at an advance of seven cents per bushel over the rate paid by tho lecal elevator men, whereat the farmers rejoiced and rewarded the Lincoln man by selling him thousands of bushels of the cereal. It is said that North Platte has a terpsichorean prodigy in the person of a little daughter, but four years old, of a popular U. P. fireman. The numerous steps, and figures danced in perfect time to the music lead tho many friends of tho little miss to believe that sho will develop into a second Latta or Patti Rosa. Commissioner Murphy last week was deploring tho folly of a school teacher, with but a few pupils, who resigned his position at a salary of $40 per month in order to assist in tho pub lication of an independent paper. This is said to havo recently happened in Lincoln county. The amateur band, under the leader ship of Professor Joseph Fillion, rendered several selections at tho entertainment Friday evening. They also serenaded Colonel Cody at his residence Monday afternoon and in the evening played at tho charity entertainment. Taking into consideration tho length of time the boys have been practicing they play well. The Tribune learns that the necktio social given by tho Young Ladies' So dality at Unitarian hall Friday evening was quite successful financially and par ticularly so socially. The young ladies of this society aro not novices in the matter of arranging for entertainments and each one so far given has been all that could be desired. A passenger, who was apparently j laboring under temporary insanity,.) jumped from a passenger train on the third district Sunday night while- it was in motion and sustained some severe j bruises about tho head. He was brought to this city for medical treatment, and after remaining hero Monday left for the east. Broach makes pictures of all sizes and kinds, from tho plainest photo to the most olaborate specimens of the artist's skill. A courteous invitation is extended to call and examine his sam ples and get his prices. The final hop of the Apollo club Thursday evening was not so well at tended as some of the former dances, but it was none the less pleasant by reason thereof. The club was well and economi cally conducted during the season nnd resulted in much enjoyment to the mem bers, of whom there woro over fifty. E. G. Burklund, of Wahoo, who owns considerable land in Sunshine precinct, was in the city last week and gave The Tribute a call. Through the efforts of Mr. Burklund a number of tracts of land in that section has been sold to farmers in the eastern part of the state who will move to tho land this spring. The pupils of tho First ward school building will give an entertainment at Unitarian hall on Saturday evening next the leading feature of which will bo a cantata entitled "Mooting of Nations." The TRincrfE trusts tho boys and girls will be greeted by a large audience. An admission of fifteen cents will bo charged. For the benefit of the curious, we will state that tho net proceeds will be used in purchasing decorations for the rooms in the first ward building. Remenyi, the great violin virtuoso, will give one of his concerts in this city, under the auspices of tho Y. M. C. A. on or about March 29th. Speaking of this artist, tho St. Louis Post-Dispatch of Jan. 1, 1892, says: Remenyi appeared before an audience of 5,000 people and received three encores and fourteen calls for his first number. Tho wholo audi ence stood up, yelled, shouted and waved with handkerchiefs. It was liko a crazy pandemonium lot loose. The whole, orchestra applauded him. J. H. Hershoy returned Sunday morning from Schuyler, where ho went to represent this county at a state meet ing of tobacco growers, and was honored by being elected a delegate to the na tional moeting to be held at New-lork, we believe, during the summer. Mr. Hershey is an old tobacco raiser, having had years of experience in Lancaster county, Penna., which is one of the large tobacco growing .sections of tho east. The meeting at Schuyler was an inter esting and profitable one. It is said that a Lexington woman went to bed with chewing gum in her mouth, fell asleep and when sho awoke found a dead mouse between her clenched teeth. The woman had fallen asleep with her mouth open, tho mouse had beer, attracted by the gum and in sticking his head in to secure the morsel the woman's jaws closed like a steel trap and the animal was strangled. The story is probably a canard, as the aver age Lexington woman wears store teeth and takes them out upon retiring. The merchants had an unusally busy time Saturday, made bo by the large number of farmers in town. Just at present there ia visible need of a system of drainage for the city. The condition of the Btreets is decided ly bad. North Platte has been designated as one of three points at which to hold state teachers' examination next Sep tember. Senator Paddock -has introduced a bill in the senate for the relief o? Eunice M. Brown, mother of Mrs. J. I. Nosbitt of this city. J. D. Thatcher, of Garfield precinct, arrived in tho city Saturday morning with a young bride, the wedding having occurred a few days before at Hale, Mo. A delightful party, given in favor of tho Misses Cole, was held at the Bald win residence on Saturday evening last,at which quite a number of young society people figured as guests. Kate Wood & Co. have moved their stock of millinery from the corner of Fifth and Locust street to the room lately occupied by P. W. Sitton, that gentleman having disposed of his stock to W. H. Broach. Warren Lloyd makes a proposition to sell his opera house to a stock com pany for nine thousand dollars and will agree to take two or three thousand dollars of the stock himself. It is rumored that M. C. Keith will tear out certain partitions in the second floor of his Front street block and convert the same into an opefaHo'use'. " The floor space would be about the same as the old hall. Remenyi. the celebrated violion virtuoso, has been engaged by tne Y. M. C. A. to appear at Unitarian hall March 28th. This is an opportunity for the North Platte public to hear one of the world's greatest artists. One of the finest signs ever designed and painted in North Platte is the one just finished" by Frank Mallard for T. J. Foley, and which will bo put in position in a few days. It is sure to attract a great deal of attention, and as a fine niece of artist's work it will suro bo a groat advertisement for Mr. Mallard. Several farmers have inquired at this offico as to whether Lincoln county would make an exhibit at tho state fair next fall. They aro confident that this county could make a much finer display this year than last, if it was given out in time that an exhibit would be made. The attention of the county agricultural society and tho business men generally is called to this matter. A leading grocer informs The Tri bune that it is very seldom the North Platte market is overstocked with first- class butter, though he admits that a poor quality of the article goes begging for a purchaser vory frequently. If butter makers will use caro in gathering their cream and converting tho same in to butter they will experience but little trouble in disposing of the product. Quite a large audience attended the Medal Contest at Unitarian hall Thurs day evening, and tho six young misso3 participating acquitted themselves creditably. Mable McNamara was awarded tho' medal, tho three judegs, Rev. Smith, Mrs. Irwin and Miss For sytho, deeming her production worthy of the most creditable points, though tho other contestants did nearly as well. Gertrude Baker opened the exercise at the last session of the Longfollow literary society with a reading which was well received; Bessio Conkhn fol- fowed with a recitation rendered in an eloquent, graceful manner; Olive Muir was noxt with a reading, Emma Arra bruster and Laura Murray contributed some interesting miscellaneous notes. Hattie Fenwick followed with a reading. The debate was next: subject, resolved, "That America Bhould have been named after Columbus insted of Amerigo Vespucci." The Bpeaiecrs on the aflirm- ativo were Herman Otton and Lester Bradley. Those on the negative were Rhodes Longley and Asa Searle. The negativo won. Enid Bewick, the critic, then delivered her report Grip. Sinco the North Platte mills started up last fall they havo ground up about 20,000 bushels of wheat and turned out about 4,000 barrels of flour; most of which has been sold at Atlanta, Ga., and Memphis, Tenn. When tho mill first started up there was considerable com plaint about the flour in the local market The cause of which was shortly discov ered to be some sacks that some mali cious person stuffed in the flour spouts; but this was soon discovered and reme died. During tho jast eix weeks -they have turned out a quality of flour that is not excelled by any. While no better flour has been on the market," it is true that their sales in this market havo not been what they should be. Every per son who is desirous of building up North Platte should give the flour a fair trial, and if satisfactory use no other. The company guarantees every sack. Owing to tho bad roads having shut off supplies the mill has run out of wheat, and the company has taken advantage of this fact to shut down the mill and make needed repairs. As Eoon as the company secures a Bupply of wheat, tho mill will resume operations; The property own ers of North Platte cannot reasonably ex pect additional manufacturing establish ments unless they support thoso they al ready havo. The company is paying our farmers tho highest markot price for wheat, oats and corn. Y. 31. C.A.XOTES. Our men's meeting was attended best last Sabbath of any meeting this year. W. J. Crusen led.

SUICIDED OX THE TI5AIX A. passenger on No. 8 Saturday night committed suicide by cutting his throat from ear to ear while tho train was Tun ning between Big Springs and Ogalalla. It had not been noticed that tho man acted strangely, but between the points above named ho got up from his seat, and asking a fellow passenger for some, matches went into the water closet. Ho remained there a few minutes and then came out with the blood gushing from a hugo gash in his neck. He sat down on a seat and to tho men who gathered around him ho continually repeated the words "I am innocent." When tho train stopped at Ogalalla he was taken off and medical aid summoned, but ho was past assistance and died about fifty minutes after committing the deed. A coroner's inquest was held and it developed that tho man's name was Robert Hackett, and that he was en route to Omaha to see his brother. The brqther was notified and ho arrived in Ogalalla Suhday night and left the same evening for Omaha with tho remains. AnAVEDDIX(;. On tue 22d of February 1BG7, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Baker of this city were united in marriage, and upon the twenty-fifth recurrence of that event the worthy couple thought it only just and proper that a due celebration should bo made. Accordingly invitations tova silver wed ding were sent out to friends about ten days ago, and on last evening, in response to these invitations, abqut a hundred and vqwed'to love and protect each other ItTitl III T"T " tUIUUJJU UJ That unibn' had. been a which were to follow. hannv nnn. nnd when Uncouple1 moved to North Platte fifteen years ago the. city received an ac cession which itfaas had no cause to re gret These remarks were made in a happy ve'inand'accompanied by a dry humor much appreciated by the reverend gentleman's audience. At the conclusion of the address, congratulations were in order, and' the male guests were accord ed the privilege granted the spectators in that Wisconsin home twenty-five years ago, namfely kiesmg the bride. It is proper to say that Mrs. Baker went throagh these bsculatory exercises as oiusningiy as a oriae or vounger years, and the proceedings wore a source of much merriment. In fact the even ing throughout was replete with pleasure and the guests" were in that happy mood which Bhould characterize such an event as a silver we'd ling. At. a 'seasonable hour refreshments, fully as platable as abundant were served,-,ftnd at. midnight the guests re tired expressing the wish that Mr. and Mrs. Baker might live to enjoy their fiftieth :wedding anniversary and that, the gueste might bo permitted to help celebrate; that event. Mr. an,d Mrs. Baker were the recipients of many, handsome pieces of silverware, embracing an elegant water service, bakin&disb, spoons, cake and pie knives, salad, fjorks; in fact a larger array of articles- than we havo hero spaco to enumerate. The celebration was well conducted throughout and in so ably entertaining such ahfrge number tho host and host ess are entitled, to no stinted meed of praise:;rf Along with all friends and ac quaintances,. . Tub Tribune wishes Mr. and MwfrBnker nothing but the sweets of h'feiiocfuturo; years, and that thoso yearsTttidy b5 many in number. !THEtUpijp.AXD DULUTH KAILKOAD. j.c seems . to the tribune that tho nro . mete The posed(jPueblq and Duluth railroad is a lino that.NbFth Platte should mnkft an iii ii i- - effdrlto secure. The proposed line is to cover distance of about five hundred miles between Sioux Gity and Pueblo, connecting at the former place with the Sioux .City & Northern, which affords a direct putle.t to tho head of Lake Super ior, and'at Pueblo it will connect with tho Fort. Worth lines, thus making it a valuable road. Tho building of tho lino is only a, question of a short time, as all preliminary surveys havo been mado and the engineers aro now running tho second lino. Its generally conceded that the new read will cross the Union Pacific at CozacTarid traverse southwest on as near a bee line to Pueblo as practicable, al though it is said the engineers are now running' survey from Cozad up the Platte! 4alleyr Gothenburg is making an effort-to secure the road, and if the line terun that far west we believe that if the proper efforts wero mado tho com pany could be induced to build on west to North" Platte and then 6triko south west. ' . Tho value of such a road to North Platte and tho country traversed, as a Lake -Superior outlet for our grain means a great saving in freight rates and a 'consequent higher price for the products of the farm. It is a matter in which the farmer and the people of the city are: alike interested, for if the road was to run through our county it would benefit' both classes. THBiTmuNE has grown weary of try ing'to'getour people interosted in enter-prisestii-which .would redound to the financial gain fat all, but it can't help speaking-a-word in regard to the Pueblo ahdrDuluthl-Toad, believing that an effort to scoufefeb'feame should be made, and tnat'tberp're'eeht is the accepted time.

The Tribute and the Home Maga zine (Mrs. John A. Logan's paper) one" year for $150, cash in advance. the Presbyterian church, took tho floor and made some fitting remarks relative to Mr. and Mrs. Baker. He described how the two had grown up together from infancy on adjoining farms n Wis consin; they as babes had seen each other before they were able to talk; had played together when but small children; learned to love each other when school mates, and when they arrived at the proper age stood up before a minister nip aws irom jieaoquarters office to a BSlloffice back of his shop.

John must be doing first rate financially, as he remembered one of his friends here with $100 check, Our bo3s carpenter and the man in the tool room are both doing a little election eering on the quiet They ore both run ning for the office of city clerk. I would be sorry to see either of them disappoint ed, as they are both old timers here from way back in the seventies. One of our boys, Arthur Murphy by name, made a bad break last week. Af ter drawing his pay he took on a '"jag" and taking his time went to Omaha the same night forgetting to pay his bills which he had contracted around town. One of our merchants, however, caught on and telegraphed the sheriff at Kear ney who made Murphy shell out about twenty-five dollars. This action was perfectly proper as it is just Buch men as Murphy who make it difficult for honest men to get credit when they really need it Several more of our new men had a tussle with king alcohol but saw their mistake and are again working more determined than ever to hereafter at tend strictly to business.

My love and I, in a fairy boat; Tho troubles of life wo had risen abor And had naught to do save to dream of lor. The crescent moon was oar fairy boat: On tho soft, white cloads we seemed to float. While far in our wake the Milky Way A gleaming; flood of glory lay. Mr oarblades rose and fell in the tide. Scattering moonbeams on every aide. Happier far than the gods were we To float on that boundless, starry sea. Music divine fell from above. Whose every noto was a breath of love. A discord rough on the music broke. The glory vanished and I awoke. Yes, woke to the old. hardworking life. With its endless worry and toll and strife: . But through the darkness shinea one gleam The memory of that golden dream. And oftentimes as I close my eyes. Once more I am back in Paradise. Once more my love and I are afloat On the fleecy clouds, in our fairy boat. Albert Payaoa. Terhune ia Llpplneott'a, Walnut or Bntternat Pickles. An appetizing pickle, little kaown at the north, but a common dainty on the tables of good southern housekeepers, ia made of white walnuts, or butternuts, m thoy aro called in New England. They aro at the right stage for pickling whtn still soft enough, to be pierced by a needle. Gather and put immediately into strong brine. Leave until convenient to make into pickle, occasionally heating the brine and pouring over to keep the walnuts from molding. Prepare them by rub bing each walnut with an old crash towel until the fuzzy substance with they are covered has all been removed. They stain the hands badly. Put in fresh brine for a few days, after whiok pre pare the vinegar by the following rule: To one hundred walnuts allow a gallon of vinegar; boil eight minutes, with a cupful of sugar, a tablespoonful each of cloves, allspice, peppercorns and a large piece of raw ginger, sliced. Distribute through the walnuts three sliced onions, then pour over all the spiced vinegar. If the walnuts are a little hard, boil in vinegar. In three days pour, off tho vinegar, boil it up and again pour it over the pickles. They are not really in their prime until they have' been mado for three or four months, but will keep for years, and are the most delicious of all pickles. If they become very sharp, add more sugar. They im prove with age. Annie Curd in Gfood Housekeeping. Building a Coal lire. In starting a coal fire use a good sup ply of kindling to heat up the coal, sup ply a good draft, thereby allowing plenty of oxygen. The coal should be in small pieces, thereby giving more sur face for the fire to act on. The bed of coal should not be very thick, at no time over three or four inches, else the air im passing through will be robbed of its oxygen boforo reaching the upper sur face, and combustion will be imperfect. When combustion is perfect there will be n bright flame and no smoke, and the result will be carbonic acid gas an in tensely hot gas; but when the supply of oxygen is insufficient or the ignitiag temperaturo has not been reached, the result will be carbonic oxide gas, which has but one-fourth the heating value of carbonic acid gas, besides forming a thick smoke and soot, which is deposited on tho oven and fluo plates, making it difficult for tho heat to penetrate, Stove3 and Hardware. lteiualn Independent. Business women will do well to make, a virtue of their independence. Decline the gratuities which men have been ia the habit of bestowing, of ten very un willingly the paid fares, ice creams, the petty gifts all of which place wom en more or less in the power of men, and are the evidence of dependent inferior ity. Mind your own "business, keep con trol of your own money affairs, pay your own car fare, and if you have any thing to give give it. Do not allow it to be tricked out of you or give away the most precious result of your ef forts your independence. J enny June's "Thrown on Her Own Resources." Dresn Reform la Pari.
