of frigid winter and the blazing boams
of summer suns, has he faithfully la
bored to publish a newspaper containing
all tho news of general interest to tho
community in which ho has resided.
That he has succeeded beyond tho ordi
nary measure of success is evidenced by
themereiorious quality of the publica
tion issued from his press, and which
fact is admitted by competent' critics
capable of judging as to what best con
stitutes a good local newspaper. Hero's

The Helena, Mont.. Daily Journal, . of
May 31st, 1892, Bays:' "Gorton's galaxy
of minstrel talent pleased a large atidi
ence at Ming's opera house last evening.
The company is composed of people who
showed" themselves' to' be artists in their
lino, and the applause was liberally dis
tributed to all. The vocal quartette is
composed of four very fine voices and
their songs are of an unusually high
order and finely rendered. The "first
part is very prettily set and the jokes
were good. In the second part all the
specialties were away above the average.
DeWitt Cooke's fine club swinging
brought forth much applause and de
served it. Griffin and Marks probably
had more fun in their Chinese' laundry
than was ever seen in one in Helena.
They are the best contortionists seen in
Helena in a long time and made a great
hit.

J. F. Schmalzried has in his posses
sion a small'leatherette secretaire thatiB
said to havo been carried by one of his
ancestors through the Thirty Years War,
from 1G18 to 1648. It is in a fair state of
preservation considering tho usage it
doubtless received and its great age.
One of the most pleasing nbvolticp
with Gorton's minstrels, is "The March:
of the White Hussars." The costumes
. i a t - - e
are simply eieganr, ana aro maue ui
white satin trimmed with gold. With
intricate marches and entrancing music
it is truly a novelty of magnificent
splendor.
Arch. Howard celebrated tho twenty
third anniversary of his birth-day last

able in this item, other than that ho was
born in North Platte in the house now
occupied by David Jones on West Front
street "Tis thus that -wo are occasional
ly reminded that North Platte is no
spring pullet.
DeWitt Cooke, an artist of excep
tional grace and skill in expert jugglery
with Indian clubs, is one of tho strong
features with Gorton's minstrels. Mr.
Cooke does some of the most intricate
work imaginable with one, two or three
clubs, and never makes an error. Nor
docs he ever fail to win the heartiest
approbation from the audience. .
W. B. Conklin has been spending the
past week in Chicago, and we understand
ho has decided to locate in that city.
Since tho foregoing was put in typo Mr.
Conklin has decided to" locate in the

Tho old man of Tiie Tribune is of
tho opinion that job printing during the
month of August will not be very rush
ing. Now the office has the material,
stock and workmen capable ofturning
out a job second to nothing by any office
in the city. Now we would like to have
our business men put up a job on him, in
his absence, by rushing in their orders
for this class of work so that his books
will show better footings than for the
month of July. Roll in your orders.

Tho game o'fbnll at Cozad Thursday
between tho Dawson county aggrega
tion and tho North Plaites resulted in a
victory for tho former by a sooro of eight
to nothing, Daly being the only .North
Platte man who reached third base.
There is no question as to tho ability of
the members of the Cozad team as ball
players, and they can outplay tho North
Platte boys at all points.
But tho game played in this city Sun
day by the same clubs was different, for
the home team put up tho best game of
the season. The ono white stocking
worn by Norton and the rabbit's foot
carried by Daly undoubtedly inspired
the entire nine and they played ball in
stead of "boss." It was exciting from
start to finish, but tho North Platles
proved victors by a score of eight to six.
Norton's work in the box was exception
ally effectual, in one inning striking out
three of the four men who faced him,
Daly played his ueually stiff game, and
with the exception of ono or two wild

Tho name of Jesse Osterhout was

on tho morrow ho would suspend P. H.

special policeman. Tho irrepressible
Dillard wanted to know if ho had any
charges to offer against tho deposed
policeman, to which his honor ventured
the-observation that it was hia preroga

that it was a prerogative of the council
to refuse to allow a policeman's salary.
The alderman from the Second ward
then prefaced his motion by saying that
he know he might bo working an injus.
tico to tho city, but that ho would move
that for tho present tho city dispense
with a night policeman. This was
promptly adopted.
Whether Mayor Warner has acted

Bro. McDonald isjookiag forward to a
rest of a couple of weeks during this
month. He will probably spend it in
the mountains of Colorado.
We learn that the people of Suther
land are taking steps toward the build
ing of a new church. Sutherland pro
mises to be quite a good town in the
near future.
A good congregation was present at
the Presbyterian church last Sabbath
orning. Three new members were re
ceived on profession of their faith two of
whom were baptized.
The people of the Lutheran church
have given their pastor, Rev. Kuhlman,
a vacation. There will be no service in
the church until further notice. The
Sunday school and Endeavor will meet
as usual. Bro. Kuhlman will be out of
town part of the time,wbut will rest at
home most of the time.
We would commend the action of the
Elsie ball club in refusing to play on the
Sabbath. There are many people in
North Platte who think they did the wise
and honorable thing. Can patriotic
citizens and thoughtful people justify
the noise and excitement of last Sunday
afternoon, as in keeping with tho day?
Can anyone justify the temptation this
Sunday ball playing puts in the way of
everybody of our town to desecrate the
Lord's day?
Rov. Henry Z. Davis, of Grand Island,
has accepted a call to the Baptist charch
of this place, and entered on the work
last Sabbath. We have not yet met
Bro. Davis, but understand that he is a
single man and has no use for the par
sonago at present. It will probably be
for rent We welcome Bro. Davis and
trust that he will find a prosperous and
growing work among this people. We
assure him that he will have an appreci
ative people with whom to work.
W. B. Conklin, who has been promi
nently connected with the work ot tho
Presbyterian church in this place for
many years, leaves this week with his
family for Chicago, where they expect to
make their future home. We shall miss
them very much, but we know that their
truo worth will bring thorn many friends
wherever they may go, and what is our
loss will be others gain. This reminds
us that nearly all of our churches have
lost, by removal, worthy christian fami
lies during tho last year. We trust
othors will come to take their places
among us.
On noxt Monday morning the writer
with his family, expects to leave town for
a few weeks rest, which has been kindly
granted him by the church. Eight days
will be spent on tho Chautauqua grounds
at Beatrice in attendance upon the Bible
conference. The rest of the time will be
spent with friends in Kansas. After a
continuous service of moro than two
years, with only one Sunday's "lay off,"
we think wo aro prepared to enjoy a few
weeks freedom, Bro. Smith has kindly
consented to t-ike charge of this column
during our absence, and we are persuaded
that nothing of interest in church work
will escape his notice.

THIRD WARD ITEMS.

t Willow street is gradedJbetweoa-Frqp
and Ninth streets.
Hollyhocks are in bloom, and there is
an abundance of them.
Locuet street will bo repaired between
Front and Eighth streets, a much needed
improvement.
Miss Tina Kuhlman went to ML
Pleasant, Iowa, Monday morning where
she will visit for a month.
JohnGough is working regularly in
Cheyenne now. Ho was here last week
to visit his mother and to take back
some personal effects with him.
Did you ever see so many toads? They
have grown to be regular pets at some
homes, and they are surely moro wel
come than, flies, for they are the deadly
enemies of all noxious insects.
Henry Null will chase cars in the yard
under yardmaster W. TL Vernon. Ho
spent the spring and summer on tho
farm with his father but ho fell in love
with switching last fall and had to re
turn to be contented.
Mrs. Al. Johnson and children left for
Pocatello, Idaho, last Wednesday morn
ing for a month's visit among relatives.
I did not learn who was to take care of
Al. during his wife's absence but per
haps he can take care of himself.
A good vote was polled at the repub
lican primary election last Saturday
afternoon which shows that the republi
cans ot. our side are awake to the fact
that winning state, congressional and
legislative tickets will bo given -the
people.
Miss Maggie Brown returned from
Laramie Sunday morning," whero she
had been visiting her sister during July.
The glow of health in her cheeks and
the description she gavo of the place
show that she enjoyed her trip im
mensely. Mrs. Geo. H. Scharmann presented
her husband with a robust baby boy
weighing twelve pounds, Friday morning.
This is the second boy and tho family
name ought to be perpetuated. If you
meet Geo. ho will "smile" you a cigar or
something else if you don't smoke.
Frank Steele and family will hereafter
reside in Albina, Ore. They left Monday
evening and oxpect to renyiin there
whether they make a fortune or not.
Frank had some bard luck hero and as
he is still quite a young man a change
of residence to a prosperous country
may insure his fortune.
The council is investigating tho plausi
bility of grading a road from the railroad
tmck near the mill to tho cemetery.
This is a good move and if carried out
will insure a good road at almost any
season of the year. If we have any wet
weather at all it is almost impossible to
reach tho cemetery on foot. I believe a
different location for a cemetery should
be selected but so long as it remains
whero it is, it should bo mado accessible
in all seasons.
Another one of our young ladies has
arrived at the age of sweet sixteen and
to celebrate the anniversary of her birth
a surprise was given hor at tho homo of
her parents on Thursday evening. Miss
Mary Yost has grown from girlhood to
womanhood in almost a day and sho,has
been taken for a young lady of eighteen
ere this. The evening was spent very
pleasantly by those present and the
ripples of laughter will often be recalled
before another mile stone is reached.
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. S. Baekins de
parted Monday evening for a recreating
trip in tho west. They will first visit
relatives in Ogdon and Salt Lake and
may go to Pocatello and Boise City. Mrs.
Baskins had been planning a trip of this
kind for eomo months and now that it is
to bo realized she will bo able to breathe
tho lighter and cooler air of a higher
elevation. Geo. will return yet this
week to take chargo of his engine which
is expected out of the shops daily.

HERSHEY HAPPENINGS.
Not much of note has occurred since
my last letter, yet all are busy in this
much alive vicinity.
Mr. Funkhousor has began work with
his Bteam thresher, is now threshing for
Willliam Ware, has to go to McAllister's
then to Geo. Golvin's and Wm.Bonwell's
and so on around. AH havo rye to
thresh.
Winter wheat is being harvested and
by the timo that is done other wheat
will be fit to cut.
Several new binders have been bought
by farmers, and Mr. Sisson is introduc
ing a four-horse doub!o-treo to attach to
all binders, which is selling well and will
be a great aid to farmers, as help is not
plenty and this does away with the help
of one man on the binder.
The recent rains have done wonders
for all crops, and corn is growing as only
corn can this hot weather. The potatoes
that have been dug so far are more or
less scabby.
Mr. Lovo received quite a severe inju
ry last week while arranging some por
tion of the binder whije cutting McAllis
ter's rye.
Wo had a very pleasant dapce at tho
hall Thursday evening, and there is to be
anath.er soon on tho evening of tho day of
a general picnic that will take place at
Hershey as soon as the wheat is harvest
eda "harvest" picnic. The day and
dato will soon be determined and an
nounced in this paper.
Harry Woods aud sister Kate spent
Sunday with Mrs. Golvin. McAllister
and Love were visitors tho samo day.
Spring chicken, raspberries and apples,
all products of the farm were on tho din
ner table. Pretty good for a Xobraska
farm that was bare prairie such a short
timo since.
Our baseball team seems to have ev
erything their own way thus far in the
games they havo played, and will con
tinue to bo victorious wo hope. Wo
havo great pride in tho boys that com
pose the team, and think wo havo reason
to ba when they go off their own grounds
and win.?
Mr. Giflin has increased his stock of
merchandise, and tho store is full of dot
sirablo goods. His trade ig icereasing
every day.
One of My. Parker's ears had a colli
sion with a ball at ono of the games, and
although not at all pleasant, it will take
quite a stroke to knock him out as he is
here to stay.
Mrs. Wm. Ware is visiting at Kearney.
Misa Jennie Ware will teach tho sohool
in this district next term, beginning the
first Monday m September.

It is circulated that we
have no notion of olosing out
that we have an advertis
ing dodge, and expect to
continue in business.
and we are not in a scheme
of the kind. On July 7th we
announced that we we were
going out of business and we
meant it, and we mean it
now.
It is' the Custom
of a class of people to issue
chronic proclamations about
selling out and going out of
business. We are not of
that class. Our announce
ment is made in good faith,
and the sale must go on
until the .

prices are far below those
