The amateur cornet band fooled the
audience assembled on Spruce street
Saturday night by playing over on the
north side. It is only fair that the Third
ward people should receive its share of
this pleasure.
Mrs. H. H. Pell, of Moran canyon,
has the thanks of this offico for a quart
of fine home grown cherries cultivated
by her. They tasted just as fine and pre

her crop was about two bushels this year.
She has a great variety of fruit all grow
ing nicely.
The music rendered by Gorton's
minstrel band was of a high order of
excellence,&nd elicited hearty rounds of
npplaurie from the hearers assembled.
The cornet and euphonium solos by Sam
II. Lee and .Mai com McGregor wore ex
ceptionally fine. Tho performance at
night is pronounced by all to bo tho best
minstrel 'entertainment ever given in
this city.
"Sandy" Griswold, the sporting edi
tor of the Omaha Bee pauses long enough
between drinks to remark that tho open

should bo restored to August loth. This
is a further evidence of his sanity. Tho

September 1st had it not been for a lot
of self-styled sportsmen called the
Omaha gun club.
Those of our citizens who were at
the railway station Sunday morning,
when the Minnesota and Manitoba
Knights Templar went through, had tho
pleasure of listening to the finest band
music rendered in North Platte since
Cappa's Seventh regiment band went
through some years ago with tho New
York veteran fire association. The music
was performed by the Third U. S. In

one of the most destructive hailstorms

country in the neighborhood of the irri

TnE Tribune must this week differ
from the opinion expressed by its reli
gious editor as to tho action last Sunday
of the Masonic fraternity. The writer
cannot believe that any great sin was
committed by listening to the 'singing of
"Nearer My God to Thee" or "Auld
Syne," accompanied by a full regimental
band whose pure tones equalled those of
the finest cathedral organ. Another
thought in this connection is this: that
the class of citizens who wended their
way to the railroad station to hear this
music, ("heavenly maid,"J rendered can
not bo persuaded or driven into a swel
tering synagogue of a Sunday morning
to listen to the utterances of tho most

said by a certain morose individual that

and better far is it that this veneered

rather than direct public, attention
thereto through the medium of publjo

We are informed by Mr. James Hale
general agent of the Equitable Life, that
North Platte is one of the best insurance
towns in the state. Ho has already writ
ten up eighteen men with good promises
for as many moro. The Equitable now
has about a quarter of a million in force
here, 8100,000 of which will be paid to
the policy holders inside of the next four
years if alive. Why pay out your good
money in assessment -"fakes" when you
can get the gonuino by letting Mr. Hale
write you up in the Equitable.
The latest change in business cir
cles in North Platte is tho purchase by
John Herrod, of the T. J. Foley stock" of
groceries. So long has John been inden
tified with this store, growing from youth
to manhood therein, that the patrons
.will not feel as if they were dealing with
a stranger. He is a young man of good
business habits, and all the old custom
ers will bo treated in the jsual courteous
and accommodating manner. The stock
will be kopt up to its high standard of
excellence. A more extended notice of
the new proprietor or stock is unneces
sary at this time.
The straw ballot man is already

ence by gentlemen, Harrison 119, Clove

Grover, Frances and Ruth seem to be

However the quiet influence may accom

The circulating medium known as
money was increased in North Platte
Sunday morning for about an hour to
the extent of 860,000,000 in gold; and yet
our independent friends were unable to
secure their per capita proportion of it
by reason that flftytwo of Uncle Sam's
hired men were guarding it with loaded
Winchesters. Tho precious metal was
contained in five cars, and the train was
run as the second section of No. 4, the
fast mail. The money was in transit
from the sub-trcasury in San Francisco
to Washington; as it was deemed inadr
visable to have this amount of coin stored
in a ssa-coast city.
That alfalfa ii an excellent crop for

icled tho fact that E. Hecox had cut his
alfalfa crop, securing about two tons of
hay per acre, and now, less than five
weoks from tho first cutting, a second
crop of a ton and a half an acre has been
gathered in, making a total yield of three
and one-half tons per acre for both crops.
But this "is not all. Mr. Hecox expects
to let the next growth go to 6eed. and

RK-THKESHIXG THE OLD STRAW.
Last Saturday was intended to be a
red-letter day in the calendar of tho in
dependents of Lincoln county, in order
to open up the campaign with some show
of vigor. "Well-digger" Joe Edgerton
who was prevented from disgracing tho
supremo bench of Nebraska by her-more
conservative citizens, was billed as the
principal speaker for tho afternoon meet
ing, which was but poorly attended. A
press of offico work prevented our at
tending and listening to tho "truths
divine that came mended from his
tongue;" but those present state that the
effort abounded in misstatements and
ex"ggeraled claims as to what the inde
pendent party would be able to accom
plish in the "solid south" this, too, in
the face of the state election returns
from Alabama.
At night after a business meeting of
tho county central committee aMr.Rork,
of Oregon, endeavored to tell the stories
of the wrongs of tho farmer by a series
of startling figures upon a blackboard.
He evidenced tho fact that ho has been
thoroughly impregnated with Donnelly-
ism by tho slurring remark cast at tho
memory of the great Shakespeare. His
audienco were hardly able to compre
hend his illustrations when ho went into
the banking business, pno of which,
whom he was using as an assistant, der
clared that ho would not take his green
back, after the speaker had endeavored
to provo it tho equal of gold; and another
declared that he would take the proffered
bank-note in payment of customs duties,
although it bore upon its face this ex
ception. Another astonishing statement mado
by the speaker was that ninety-four per
cent of the business men of the country
fail. Wo doubt whether ho can well
substantiate this proposition. Especially
wjll this be difficult if his other state
mpnt that the business man does not
care anything about tho tariff, taxes or
other legitimate expenses of business; he
merely adds theso to the selling price of
what he offers for 6ale and poor Agricola
"pays tho freight." If this is true it is
almost an impossibility for a business
man of oven moderate ability to fail.
His illustration of the exchange of farm
products for whiskey might have been
well received in a prohibition meeting,
but in his juggling with tho figures this
mitator of Nast neglected to mention
tho cost of production, government taxes,
etc. Ho Beemed desirous of conveying-
tho idea to his hearers that whiskey was
without a commercial value.
Tho orator extolled the beauties of
gqyernment ownership of railways by
epeaking of a man being able to ride
1,000 miles in Austria (in cars but a trifle
better thon are used in this country in
freight service) at a cost of $7, while in
this country the averago cost is about
830. Ho did not tell his audienco of the
difference of wages in railway employees
of the countries, nor did he 6ay anything
about tho thousands that have been
traveling the past week at a rate of 89
for a trip of 2,151 miles. Neither did ho
say anything about the transportation of
wheat at a rate of one-fourth of a cent
per 100 pounds for a distance' o.t C00 miles
jess than a. yqar. ago. Verily, Dr. Miller
was right when he said that "competi
tion beats combination;" and where
there is government ownership, of rail
ways tbe.ee. can be no competition.
Apqther thought in this connection: To
carry this idoa"put to it3 logical conclu
sion' the governrqentj shoujd step in and.
purchase all street c$t' linps, livory
stahlesand modes of conveyance" used
by the public in order that transporta
tion might bo reduced to a minimum.
Follow up this theory and see whero vu
will ultimately arrive fa
much rnf
rnahsm about such a govern
mentthe prime feature that caused tUa
downfall of RftiVi.
Ulhe wnolo of the speaker's effort was
but a re-threshing of tho old straw worn
out by James B. Weaver years ago in his
campaigns in Iowa, and tho voter that is
influenced by th.fcse Eimhitifns is but of
feeble intellect, and he had better allow
Maria to do tho voting for Ihe fatnilv.

Rev. L. P. McDonald has gone to Den

Good congregations greeted the pas

The Christian Endeavor of tho Presby

Thursday evening, August 18th, on Mr.
Singleton's lawn. Extensivo prepara
tions is being mado for this occasion.
Last Friday Rev. E. R. Leedom and
the writer attended quarterly meeting
services at the Delay school house, and
were gratified to find a good congrega
tion of farmers and their families who
left tho harvest field for the place of
worship. A blessed time was enjoyed by
all. Rev. T. C. Balch, the pastor, is
doing excellent work on the Paxton
charge.
Messrs. E. A. Marshall and E. R.
Nance, of the Nebraska Young Men's
Christian Association conducted gospel
meetings on the street and thon at tho
M. E. church on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday ovenings of last week. Sunday
evening a union open air meeting was
hold in front of tho Court-house. Our
Y. M. C. A. secretary, E. F. Rideout had
charge of the meeting. Mr. Marshal de
livered an excellent address, to which
the large congregation gave thoughtful
attention.
It is a source of regret that any .body
of men should disregard tho command
to "remember the Sabbath day." But it
is especially painful when a body noted as
philanthropists and teachers of morality,
plan and execute au excursion on tho
Lord's day. Tho quiet of last Sunday
was somewhat disturbed by tho excur
sion to Denver. True, tho music played
by tho band was sacred music, and had
a soft sweet souud. We also learned
that a minister was to preach to the peo-
llo on the train after starting out from
North Platto. This seems to us like an
attempt to gloss over a wrong action.
Would that wo could learn that "to obey
is better than sacrifice."
Tho people of tho Presbyterian church
and congregation held a very pleasant
social aud surprise at tho homo of Butlor
Buchanan on last Thursday evening.

their departure. Mr. and Mrs. Conklin
were invited to spend an hour with tho
pastor and session of the church at Mr.
Buchanan's. When thoy arrived thoy
found about1lo0 of tho congregation
gathered in their honor. During the
evoning Rev. Irwin, in a few appropriate
words in behalf of tho congregation, pre
sented Mr. and Mrs. Conklin with an
elegautwater set. Mr. Conklin very
feclingly responded in a few words,
speaking of the happy associations ot
theso years and assuring tho people that
they should never forget their church
and social relations in North Platte.
fter this elegant refreshments wore
served and all retired to their homes
with tho sentiments of tho hymn, "Blest
be tho tie that binds," filling their hearts.
Tho best wishes, not only of tho Presby
terian people, but of all the pcoplo of
North Platto go with this worthy family
to their new homo. .

HOW ADAM' LOOKED.
Guy Lainer Reveals Some of the Secrets
of the First Man.
Mr. Guy Laing has finally secured the
fourth of his trreat attractions in Euro
pean paintings, and it is certainly tho fin
est of all that has been presented. He
now has on exhibition Loowe Marchand's
famous masterpiece "The Banishment of
Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden'
The representation is natural and there
fore all the more startling. The back
ground of the painting presents the
green slopes and the rolling hills of Eden.
In the foreground Eve reclines upon the
sward, one arm partially concealing her
ace, but not biding the eyes, from which
the new-born lovo of woman shines out
undimmed by regret for the first sin
Adam stands beside her, his form bowed,
expressing in every muscle tho agony
with which he receives the sentence of
banishment from the angel with the
flaming sword.
As a study in the anatomy of men and
women the painting is without an equal.
Of its class it is tho most superb work of
art over brought into the state. 31 wl
NO RESPONSIBILITY ON THE 'GALLUSES."
The female suspender fad has
reached North Platte and a number of
our local damsels aro sportine calluses.
The New York Tribune discourses on the
subject: "She is making no practical
use of suspenders whatever, but is simp-
wearing them for outward show. Thev
might as well be painted on horcostumo.
If a bold Jack tho Investigator were to
proceed up Broadway and cut every
feminine suspender he saw, absolutely
nothing whatever would happen. Noth
ing depends on the feminine suspender;
it is worn simply to bo flaunted in the
face of a helpless man, who, at tho very
moment, may bo desperately searching
through his pockets for a shingle nail to
tako the place of a suspender button
which has just deserted him. No, women
can never have trousers with the consent
of man; she has been tried with suspen
ders and has abused tho trust. Sho
would reat trousers no better. Inside
of a month sho would invent somo out
landish way for putting them on over
her head. Then sho would make them
of silk and velvet and trim them with
ruflles and passementerie. Then in the
end it would be discovered that sho had
contrived a way for wearing them over a
dress skirt and that they wore wholly
unnecessary for her correct appearance.
If woman wants to bring on civil war let
her begin to abuse trousers as she is now
abusing suspenders."

A noted medical authority on tho value
of fruits has this to say:
Taken early in the morning an orango
acts very decidedly as a laxative, some
times amounting to a purgative, and may
generally bo relied on.
Pomegranates are very astringent and
relieve relaxed throat and uvula. Tho
bark of the root, in tho form of a dococ
tion, is a good antholmastic, especially
obnoxious to tapo-worra.
Figs, 6pUt open, form excellent poul
tices for boils and small abscesses.
Strawberries and lemons locally applied
are of isome service in tho removal of
tartar from teeth.
Apples aro correctives useful in nausea.
They immediately relieve the nausea duo
to smoking. Bitter almonds contain
hydrocyaniQ aoid, nnd are useful in
simple coughs, but they frequently pro
duco a sort of urticaria or nottlo rash.
Tho persimmon, or diospyros, is palatable
when ripe, but the green fruit ia highly
astringent, containing much tannin, and
is used in diarrhoea and incipient dysen
tery. The oil of tho cocoanut has been
recommended as a substitute for cod
livor oil, and is much used in Germany
for phthisis. Barberries aro very agree
able to fever patients in tho form of a
drink. Dutch medlars are astringent
and not very palatable. Grapes and raisins
are nutritive, and demulcent, and very
gratefu.1 in the sick chamber. A so-
called "grape cure" has been much
lauded for the treatment of congestions
of the liver and stomach, enlarged spleen,
scrofula, tuborculosis, etc. Nothing Is
allowed but water and bread and several
pounds of grapes, per diem. Quince
seeds ara demulcent and astrincent:
