Saml. Adams has concluded to retire
from the grocery business and is closing
out his stock as rapidly as possible. In
door work has not proven satisfactory to
Mr. Adams, and his health has suffered
more or less. After winding-up his busi
ness, ho will engage in his former voca
tion, that of carpenter and builder.
L A. Fort informs us that he will
push the real estate business with more
vigor this year than ho. has for two or
three years past and confidently expects
to see a great many farmers locate in tho
county in 1893. Mr. Fort is possessed
with much ambition and push and will
do his part, in inducing emigration.
-Oscar Humberetone' and Gene
Cronin became involved in a quarrel at
Julesburg Friday, which resulted in the
former shooting at the latter with a shot
gun, a number of tho shot penetrating
the region around Cronin's pistol pocket.
The latter was brought to this place and
is receiving the necessary treatment at
the home of his brother.
It is a source of regret in North
Platte that the senatorial lightning in
striking the independent camp, did not
run down the rod which had beon erected
by Judge Hinman or'by Judgo Neville,
either of. whom would have made their
mark in the senate. It is about time for
the statesmen living in Nebraska west
of the one hundredth meridian to be
recognized.
Strickler's Nancy Hanks Hardware
Store is the leader sure. Ca6h custom

there. Come right along-and we will do
your pocket book as well as your soul
good. We are now going through our

It is hardly possible that Col. Hill's
complimentary notico to The TmnosE
editor a week or two ago was given for
the purpose ascribed by Colonel Walsh
of tho Era. The latter named Colonol
is only happy when he has an opportu
nity to dart a venomed shaft into some
one for whom he has no special admira
tion. The Writer's acquaintance with
the Colonel dates back almost a decade,
and he knows whereof bo speaks.

- It is encouraging to note that TnE
Tribute's correspondents from Farnam
and Wallace report that there is an
active demand for land in those sections.
And it may be stated that the demand is
not confined to these two localities, for
the same condition exists in all the terri
tory south of the river and along the
Platte valley. If the transfers of real
estate in Lincoln county are not heavy
this year The Tbiboke will be greatly
mistaken, for the indications certainly
point that way.
We understand that Bratt & Co. are
preparing to have their tract of land
Dorth of the river surveyed and subse
quently place it on the market The
tract embraces 125,000 acres pf railroad
land. The firm also holds leases on a
number of school sections. This is
perhaps one of the finest watered tracts
of land in the west part of the 6tato
there being number of small streams
which are fed by springs which furnish
water tho year around. The Tribune
would like to see a farmer on each
quarter paction of this land that is
tillable.
An abstract in the office of the cpunr
ty clerk shows that during the year 3L892
final proof was made on 213 quarter sec.
tions about 35,000 acres of government
land situated in Lincoln county. This
means a great deal to Lincoln county; it
shows that over two hundred persons
have become the sole owners of valuable
tracts of fertile land; that they have suc
cessfully lived through the worry and
the more of less nardsnips which come
to the homesteader. It has increased

Ex-Judge Church, of North Platto,
was in the city yesterday on his way to
Wyandotte, Kansas, to try an important
lawsuit The Judgo is a lawyer of
marked ability, and the only reason he
is not on the bench of his district to-day
is because during the canvass a year ago
ho refused to libel western Nebraska and
allude to bis opponent as a cringing tool
of corporate monopoly and a venal vam
pire pf the most detestable antecedents.
He made an hQnerablo fight and accepted
defeat with perfect composure, feeling
that it was better to be right than sit on
the bench in calamity robes, holding a
senatorial rod for a shaft of lightning
that never strikes, as his opponent is
doing, even as these lines are written.

While camped over on Oak creek ia
the ssmmer of 1883 1 was an eyewitaeer
to one of the saott novel of combats. At
noon one day as I was comiag dowm
from the mine for dinner I spied a skosk
shifting itself about in a straage aaaa
ser.x Thinking he was performing, soas
acta that were unusual andrwt baeosaiasr
to one of his face, Isat down, and witk
ray powerful marine glass I soon- f oun4
the reason. Before the skunk upon the
ground lay a huge rattlesaake coiled up
for business, his massive flat bead pre
senting a most savage aspect.
Now and then .raking bis head as the
skmnk would, coma within reach, ha
struck it again aad again. "TEe skunk,
as if anxious to continue the dnel,r would
pounce upon the back of the snake until
driven off by the powerful swaying to
and fro of its body. This was repeated
again and again until finally with one
heroic spring the skunk landed upon the
snake, and in the twinkling of an eye
almost had bitten the head from the
body, save a shred of skin which held
together. Being satisfied with the re
sult, I hastily picked up a rock and
throwing it at the skunk routed him,
leaving me in full possession of the field.
On examination I found the hide of
the rattlesnake uninjured save where
the skunk had given it its death cut in
the neck. The same evening and for six
consecutive evenings I saw the skunk,
and on the seventh evening shot it after
it had scampered around for that length
of time. This satisfied me that rattle
snake bites do not materially retard the
progressive life of a "polecat," to say
nothing of proving fatal thereto. The
snake was 3 feet 6 inches in length, with
nine rattles. The snake's hide I kept
until recently wore it out as a hat band.
The rattles I still have. The skunk is
the only animal (to my knowledge) that
will not succumb to the deadly bite of
the "rattler" unless medical aid is in
voked. Forest and Stream.

Dick Goodwin, addressing the experi

woman came rushing down the stairway

An Old Practice.
The practice of throwing an old shoe
after a bride is, it seems, quite misap
plied when it is done -by some of her
companions for luck; According to the
spirit of the ceremony, which is of very
ancient lineage, it should be done by the
parent or guardian of the bride, as indi
cating a renouncing of all authority
over her. Chieftains in feudal times
took off their shoes and handed them to
their conquerors in token of accepted
defeat, from which practice this slipper
throwing custom ia said to have de
scended. As, however, in these modern days a
worn slipper in the parental hand has a
distinct and. obvious significance, it is
well perhaps that the rite of weddings
has undergone revision. Some irrev
erent spirit might dub its observance as
the "Passinsr of the SnanlrM-" tth-

Beast Turkey Wlthest BroSta.
There is not the slightest doubt but the
stuffing of poultry ruins the flavor and
makes a good dinner hard to digest.
Speaking of stuffing, I always thfriy of a
question asked me at a lecture, -where I
was trying to convert my audience to the
above fact. "Why. how do von keen tb
tnrkey from cavinc in?" TW- uriii
of course, "cave in," as the stuffing does
nofm the least hold the carcass in shape.
Truss the turkey and roast it just as
you would ordinarily, and behold the
differenceinflavor. You will never stu
poultry again. After it is in good shape
dust with pepper and put a goodly quan
tity of melted butter over its breast. Born
it into a hot oven and after thirty min
utes cool down the fire. Boast without
water, simply basting -with the melted
butter and the fat in the pan, for twenty
minutes to each pound of turkey. Do
not count the first half hour. Salt whea
nearly done. Table Talk.
A Made Over Oowa.
A bright girl, with more of a dmotsk
in her head than at her banker's, has)
made herself a fascinating fall costume
out of a last year s gown. The skirt of
tne gown, which was of dark wool, ska
nt and fitted over to the desired shape.
It was a dull, reddish, rough stuff, and
with a little quilling of velvet doubled
together and plaited she finished the
edge. Then a black velvet coat, relic of
finery, was made to do duty as a little
jacket, cut shorter than the Eton model,
slashed up the back to the neck and
edged all around with a finish of jet.
The top of her skirt she edged about
with a double bias fold of velvet, fitted
neatly, and less than, two inches wide
when aU finished, and this she hooked
over a full waist of the gray green and
bine tartan -wool, checked off -with a
thread of scarlet in silk. St. Loisk
