The new gunsmith guarantees all work and reasonable prices. Patterson & Alexander have taken a large contract for putting up hay for the Scout's Rest ranch.

Considerable comment was indulged in Sunday by some of our citizens over the opening of a saloon in this city in a very public manner. The town is filled witii buxom school ma'ams jnany of whom have a habit of pinning up their back-hair with a lead pencil these institute times. Henry Stearley, of Baker preciuct, killed a couple of rattlesnakes last week, which he is preserving in alcohol for ex hibition at the World's fair next ye3r.

The imperial Club saloon will short ly be moved into tho north room of the Ottenstein block, which is being pre pared therefor by tlje tasty hand of painter Mallard. It is said that it will be run in concert stylo. A couplo of barbers got tangled up in an altercation Sunday night and one of them suffered severe punishment by reason of tho other fellow having an assistant. Prom what we learn the attack was unwarranted. The Cozad Tribune has the follow ing to say in regard to W. L. McGee's new clerk: "Miles Maryott is now so. journing in North Platte, where he secured a position as clerk in a hardware store. He will play ball with the North Platte team." ' A rumor was current in this city the latter part of last week that some of the E. W. ranch outfit, southeast of town, had disinterred an old corpse. It was impossible to erify the accuracy of the rumor as no one seemed to bo acquainted with the facts. According to a recent order of tho postmaster general, tho postniiisters of the.cQunty seats throughout the United States aro again requjred to inspect the postoflices in their respective counties, between tho 1st of August and the 15th of December of this year. Tho questions required to be answered number nearly one hundred. It is remarkable what an amount of space some newspapers use, that might be better utilized, in publishing alleged "newspaper decisions." The most of these are but fireside fancies and have been overthrown by tho rulings of vari ous postmaster-generals. Play fair, brethren, and no longer attempt to de pieve Pie public. A letter was written to Kern last winter by some of his Cheyenne county jnstituents apking his assistance in get ting a t-i-weekly star route mail service establis led between two points in that county.

In this connection it is well to mention h.at the, ladies board of control have determined upon the Jereotion of five dormitories for the accommodations of female visitors to the fair. One hundred shares of the stock for constructing these, at ?10 per share, have been as signed to Nebraska for sale.

Jbindsay has received a car load of the celebrated Turkey Red win ter wheat, for seed, ' an acconnt of the way for seedinc which appears on the opposite page. This will be a profitable source of revenue to our farmers as it yields on measured pieces of ground from 45 to 52 bushels per acre, weighing as high as 6MJ; pounds to the bushel, and commands the highest market price. That renegacle democrat, and late independent howler, W. L. Green, of Kearney, has added another to his poli tical sins as evidenced by the following from the Kearney Hub: "A young man named George Cranny employed as a farm hand by Dr. Norcross, Sartoria, has been adjudged insane and placed in con fincment The young man became inEane immediately after listening to one of W. L. Green's distracting harangues about two weeks ago. Cranny's parents live in Colorado." Tuesday af ternooa St. Bernard com- manderv. K. T.. passed through this city.

It numbered thirty five pieces and tho drum major, and is the organization that the Chicago musical union attempted to prevent playing at Denver on account of being imported contract labor. The little musical skits they rendered here showed that the col lector of the port of Chicago was right when he classed them as artisander mitted them to make engagements in this country. Tho organization is en. route to Buffalo, N. Y., where it gives a series of concerts for ten days. Mrs. Georgia Hayno Wilton, of Los Angeles, Col., assisted by home talent, is making preparations to put on the play of "Little Lord Fauatleroy" for the benefit of the North Platte Amateur Band. Of her presentation of this popular home play the Riverside, Cal., Press has tho following: ''Great indeed has been tho satisfaction expressed over the character of that vision of all that is strong though tender, pathetic yet pleas ing, innocent et intelligent, Little Lord Fan ntleroy, as portrayed by the bright thild actor, Franklo Wljton. Tho ljttlp fellow has been the recipient of showers of congratulations from all who had the good fortuno. to see him in thp pieoe. He is in person an exact representation of what Fauntleroy is generally supposed to have been in tho mind of his author, being tho possessor of a fair face, a mass of golden curly hair, reaching past his shoulders, and a wqnderful knowledge of stage deportment and procedure. He has an excellent memory, as he would needs possess to deliver so accurately the al most a hundred pages of manuscript comprising his part He held his entire audience spellbound throughout tho piece, now causing the highest merri ment, and again moving his audience to tears. Soiup of the scenes bordered upon tho sublime, and the character was In deed, as has been said, a diadem among beautiful surroundings. -The stage set tings have been admired, all the parts well spoken of." ALONG THE M(J IHTCH. Miss Jennie Hansen, who taught the school in district No. 11, Nichols pre cinct, the past year, which closed tho last of May, resided in a little hut Which she had erected upon tho school house lot, and also kept a horse which ran at large in tho school yard or was kept in a stable erected for that purpose by said teacher within tho school yard, was rp: quested by a unanimous vote at the annual school meeting hold in tho school house on June 27th, 1892 to rcrapvp said buildings from the school y,rd. within tho next thirty days; but uotwithstand said vote sh.o continued tq reside tlfere until about the 5th of this month when she had the stable torn down and her household goods removed to North Platte, but loft the dwelling still stand ing. In the morning previous to her going away for good she set fire to some rubbish in the yard and did not extin guish tho fire before leaving, aud it caught in the coal-shed which was a mass of flames when disppvered"by Louis Tillion and mother who reside neaj by and who by diligent work finely suc ceeded in subduing the fire, and thus saved the school house and other build ings near by from being consumed. Miss Hansen was not very well pleased when the vote was taken for her to remove her buildings from the yard and was also more or less out of humor when she found out that the niajdrity of the peo ple in the district were opposed to her having tho school for another term. Previous tp thp expiration of thp thirty days within which time she. was re quested by a vote of the district to re? move her buildings off the premises, she went to Geo. Sullivan, the present director, and informed him that she did not have to go until a written notice was served upon her. Said notice was then served and she immediately made arrangements -and moved as above stated. The coal-shed is a mass of charred boards and cannot be used or repaired--" ' A macn game of lbase balPipok place rear Nichols on Sunday, Aug. 7th, be: tween the world-renowned Jpunipkin chaunkers" of Hershey, and the fleet footed "clod hoppers" of the vicinity of Nichols, resulting in a victory for the former nine The game was both amus ing and interesting, and was witnessed by a large and appreciative audience that frequently applauded the players in exanea euoris to win, the losers no doubt returning to their respective homes feeling that their time had been poorly spent, and. with a feet determina tion' not-to be Qiiughtfthat way-'agalh ' Pedbo. to- PEREGRINATING PEOPLE.

Tho bride is too well known in North Platte to re quire an introduction, having spent over one half of her life here. She was one of our promising young ladies, if that term may be used, but her career of single blessedness has been cut short. It is dangerous, extremely dangerous for a young unmarried woman to make protracted stay jiway'from home and it you have ever, taken notice, it proves fatal in a great many cases. But why should not the young ladies have the privilege of going east occasionally when it is customary for the young men to do the same thing.

The bond for the faithfnl performance of the work was fixed at $1,000, and timo given for the completion of the work until December 1st, 1892. Committee on sidewalk petitioned for on Sixth street was given further time in which to make their report. Tho committee on investigating the cost and practicability of putting in stone crossings asked for more specific instructions and for further time, Granted. The committee on right of way to cemetery road were not ready to report and were given further time. The committee to whom was referred the li6t sales of liquors made by druggists asked for further timo in which to report. These should simply bo filed with tho city clerk, and a'ro open for inspection by any citizen who thinks a druggist is sell ing liquor contrary to the provisions of law. Alderman Dillard moved that while the city was without a night policeman the hours of duty for the chief of police should be from four o'clock p. m. until four o'clock a. m. Motion on -vote was a tie and the mayor" voted in the negative. Tho question of whether the street commissioner should actually work or sit in tho shade and superintend the same was discussed at length. Is was decided that he be allowed to do as he deemed best. The barbed wire fence belonging to Dr. Dick in the Third ward waB again complained of aud tho street commis sioner said that it would be attended to as soon as tho owner recovered from his sickness.

"Shrader, for whom the independents ask loyal men to vole fpr lieutenant- governor, had plenty of use for railroad passes if he did not have anj' for the constitution. When tho session ad journed a. year ago last spring Shrader's son, who had been appointed by his father a committee clerk without duties, rode up to North Platte on his wav homo tenhis fatlwrVpass. Whilo in that city he grew quite confidential with other young men of his age, and leading them to a room, opened his trunk and showed them a stock of stationery and notions that would have answered to start a man in business in a small way. Pencils by the bunch, erasers, rulers, inkstands, paper, envelopes, penholders and "many other articles, too numerous to mention," all belonging 4o the state had somehow eft the capital building and journeyed to North Platte in the trunk of tho son of the man who proposed to inaugurate reform by damning tho constitution and defying the courts. Shrader, the indeppndent nominee for ieutenant-governor, tho man who damned the constitution, and counselled defiance of the courts, was talking to three soldiers in Callaway recently, and wffi6ing a grand army button oh one of them, pointed lo it and said: "My friend, don't you think you havo worn that long enongh? Don't you think you had better take it off and forget about the war? I fought for my country and used to wear one of those buttous, too, but I got ashamed, of it and took it off." Now a gentleman up thore, curious to know how much of jrn army record Mr, Shrader had, began an investigation and found that he enlisted in 1SQ5 a fow weeks before tho war closed and never got iartber south than Chicago. Tho gentleman who hunted up the record ex onerates Shrader from all blame for being ashamed to wear a grand army button and says ho would likewise be ashamed to wear one on such a record as Shra der's, but he does blame him for insult ing old soldiers who saw service by tell ing thorn to cast away the insignia of patriotism which loyal men and women deligjjto honor. .MAXWELL PICKINGS..

It is very desirablo that our citizens should visit the institute as frequently as possible, and not only witness r work that is being done, but encourage super intendent, conductors and teachers. Ample accommodations will be made for all who come. un Tuesday alter opening exercises Mrs. Manville gave her method of teach ing practical arithmetic outside the book, illustrating it with work dono by her pu pils.

This is tho kind of school work that must make our public schools all their most ardont friends hope for them. This was one of the most inter esting expositions of school-room work we havo listened to, and we trust it will be wrought out by all such teachers as can make an opportunity for it. In the afternoon Prof. Valentine gave a most interesting talk on literature, dis cussing various authors and their works. selecting such jis ho called tho "bread and meat of literature." From the marked attention and deep interest man ifested by the teachers, we are confident none present will be at a loss hereafter to know what to read in poetry and fic tion, and we believe these books will find thoir way into the private libraries of many present- We were gratified to seo some of our citizens present during the afternoon session. We wish to see many more for wo believo you will bo much interested in all the exercises, for our institute promises to be one of unusual interest. About stxtv teachers are enrolled.
