i r ft. "WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7th, 1893. Isaac Dillon went to Elkhora, Neb., Friday to try his hand at black ban fishing, that specie of the finny tribe being very plentiful in that section. -How about the Fourth of July; wiil North Platte properly observe the flay? C. Hbnaker and wife, of Gandy, were in. town Monday enroute to the world's fair. S. B. McKinstry, the Sutherland banker, transacted business in town the latrer part of the week. The county commissioners convene -udge Hinman left for Chicago Fri- on the 12th inst. and will sit as a board . ?. A - A A A 41 I m .... day:morning to attend a meeting- of the anti-trust committee, of which body he ofthe members from Nebraska. The Knights of Pythias conferred the rank of knight on a candidate Fri day evening and after the ceremonies held a banquet which proved very en joyablar Another drop in fair to Chicago was maae oaiuruay ana you can now buy a round-trip ticket from North Platte to the Windy City for the sum of $28.70. This is still about $8.70 more than it should be. Kansas strawberries, of a very good quality, are being received in this mar ket and retail at twenty-five cents a box. Hosae grown berries are beginning to ripea, but the supply is not greater than the seeds of those owning the beds, The appointment of E. R. Griffin, formerly of this city, to the position of station- agent at Denver, is one The Tribune is pleased to chronicle and the people of North Platte will be glad to learn. The" position carries with it a very desirable salary. Lester Eells and Scott Keith left tbia morning for Oshkoeh, Deuel county, to look after a tree claim which the former located near that village several yeaas ago. They went to Big Springs by rail and will drive across the country from that point. jThe Junior baseball club goes to Sutherland Sunday for the purpose of engaging the young men of that place in a game. If the boys play as well away from home as they do on their own diamond, they will return with scalps Jnngling.Jrom their belts. xesterday the local L. L. A. received a challeuge from the Wallace literary society requesting them to visit that village and take part in a debating con test. Ttie question for debate is the free jinae of silver, the North Platte boys selectingtho affirmative side of the ques tion. Tfcc'dnte of the debate has not been decided. Sheriff Baker has sent out 4,009 circulars civing a description of the escaped horso thief W. H. Bell. These circulars have been sent srom Ohio to California, and from the gulf to the ' British possessions, and it would seem . that Bell must sooner or later bo cap tured. The Sheriff is sparing no expense in. his efforts to have tho fugitive xe- - ceered. At a meeting of the Buffalo Bill Hook and ladder Company Monday evening the membership was increased to twenty-five. The officers of tho com pany are as follows: Captain, W. J. Boche. first assistant, Arthur McNa marn; second assistant, W. H. C. Wcod hursti treaBuror. R. I. Graves; secretary, E..F. Bideout. Tho meeting night has been changed from second to the first Monday night of each month. Since . the. council has taken the - subjectoftf. cJaairte lights iato serious consideration, several gentlewea have announced themselves in favor of putt ing in a plant for manufacturing the now kind of gas which can be supplied at one-dollar per thousand feet and is adapted for lighting purposes os well as . for..fuel. It is said to be much cheaper for the latter purpose than either coal or gasoline. -Jl daughter of Jacob Bicbger, who resides near Wellfleet, arrived "the latter part of the week from Switzerland, being consigned to W. C. Elder, clerk of the district court. At the request of Kichger Mr. Elder sent a certificate to Switzer land stating that the father was com- petonti to care for the daughter and that she would not be a clinrge to the county, state or government, and upon the receipt of thin certificate the cirl. who is about twenty, started on her journey and made a safe arrival hero. The board of oducatioa held its monthly meeting Monday evening, and among the business considered were the applications for positions as teachers. It i said that a meeting will be held in a day or two at which n selection, but not an election, of teachors will be made. This action is to be taken so that teachers maybe incidentally informed whether their services will be required the com ing year, and if they are not re-employed it will givo them a better opportunity to apply for schools than though thoy waited until the election which is held in July. Geo. C. Campbell, who passed Sun day at his farm in Plant precinct, says crops in that section indicate that the farmers will certainly have something to eat and sell this season; everything look ing especially fine. Zavier Toillion, who lives in Nichols precinct, Bays he never had ns good prospects for a bountiful crop, and L. O. Baker, of Baker precinct, rfTsaytfhe hns every reaton to feel happy over tho crop prospects. These three reports are undoubtedly a fair sample of the condition in all the products of the county since the late rains. The game cf ball at the fair grounds Sunday afternoon between the first and second nines resulted in a victory for the latter by a score of seven to three. The first nine has not practiced this season and an a result are not in shape, while the "kid" have been playing consider-!-ably, are in good form and put up an excellent -game, as is evidenced by the ecore. It is said that the first nine intended to take some of the "conceit" out oi the "kids" in this game, but the resuli; shows that they did not correctly reckon the ability of the younger boys. The application for liquor license by Davis fc Wilkins of Brady Island, which was presented to the county commis sioners recently, was followed by a re monstrance by citizens of that village and on Friday and Saturday of last week a hearing was held before the board of commissioners. The applicants employed Grimes & Wilcox as their attorneys and the protesting delegation, headed by Judge Stockton and Mr. Matthewson, secured the legal services of H. D. Rhea. The rembnstratora alleged that the applicants" did not have a majority of the resident freeholders of the precinct, and the contest was warmly pressed on both . sides, lasting until late Saturday even . ing. The commissioners reserved decis ion until the 12Ur inst. of equalization of assessments for some time: Night operator Cox now wears an increased smile on bis face, due to the arrival of a girl baby at his home yester day morning. Walter Peale leaves to day for Curtis where he goes for the purpose of execu ting some fine decorating and painting for the people of that town. "At Last," a gold leaf substitute for outside work that is durable, at Peale's. H. S. Keith has received a large and varied stock of anti-rust tinware which is guaranteed not to rust under any condition. The ware is worthy your in spection. Patterson fc Alexander have com pleted their contract of breaking prairie for the ditch company, having turned under over seven hundred acres of sod this spring. Jacob Meyer, the boot and shoe maker in the Neville building on Locust 6treet, guarantees satisfactory work at fair prices. Custom work receives prompt attention. We learn that Frank Wilson, for merly of this city, is very low with con sumption in Texas. His sister, Mrs. Griffin, of Donver, has been with him for a week past.

Mr. Lucas, tho clerk in Longley's drug 6tore, went to Nebraska City, Mon day for the purpose-of being examined by the State Board of Pharmncy which is holding a session there. The young man will undoubtedly pass the examina tion and become a licensed and registered pharmacist. -The nip from -a poisonous snake is but a flight remove from being moru dangorous than tho poison of Scrofula in tho blood. Ayer's Sarsaparilla puri fies tho vital fluid, expels all poisonous substances, and supplies the elements of life, hoalth and strength. It is stated that the B. & M. has reduced the round trip fare from Denver to Chicngo to 821.75, a cut of about 818 Grading on Front street began Mon day and as soon as that street is com pleted others will receive attention. The roadways of the city are gradually being put in excellent condition. Rev. Geo. H. McAdam, of Grand Island, formerly of this city, arrived in town this morning and will visit relatives for several days. Mrs. McAdam has been here for a week or more. Dan Ferguson, who made North imte nis Home prior to lots, out now the owner of . actable of trotting horses in California its expected to 'arrive in town in a day or two and will visit his mother and sisters. When court convenes on the 6th of next month the jury trials wi.l be heard first, the jurymen excused at the last term to occupy the box. Judge Holcomb, of Broken Bow, will preside on the bench sufficiently long to dispose of the cases which were heard but not settled by him at the November term last year. Tho merchants of North Platte have formed an association to protect them selves against shop lifters. Thank for tune, we haven't any of those kind of people in this town. When they want anything here that belongs to someone else they just kick the doo.c or back window in and help themselves. Wal lace Star.

There nre about 150 dogs in towa on which the owaerfl will pay license if thexrare given- to Vat the tew n t U paid or the slaughtered. The claim of the railroad men that they can buy butter, eggs and potatoes much cheaper in Grand Island, Sidney and intermediate points than they can in North Platte should be pretty good evidence to the farmers ot Lincoln countv that the dealers in this city are paying the top notch prices for these products. And especially should it be convincing when it is known that our merchants sell these articles at but slight if any advance over the price they pay the farmers. -R. A. DouglaB on Saturday last pur chased tho Wclty property, at the corner of Front anil Locust streets, for 81,380.50 under a foreclosure ot a mort gage hld by enstorn parties.

Few people know that tombstones or grave markers are furnished free of cost by the government for the graves of all deceased soldiers and are delivered at the depot nearest to whero they aro buried, but such is tho case.

They will remain a few days nt the fair and then will resume their journey that will take them almost to the other side of the globe. They will go'via Hamburg and return via Venice, Rome and Naples and sail from the Mediterranean sea. Tho young ladies will go well prepared to enjoy the trip. It will bo as good as a college education for with the book knowledge they possess of the old countries they will look for historic places and fix them in their mind. Their trip down the Medi terranean will be especially historical. The coach that stands just west of the round house is used by theEnginemen's Mechanical Association for an instruc tion room. The contents of the coach was described by W. J. Stuart in a recent number of Locomotive Engineer ing and his item was copied and com mented upon by a writer in the June number of the Locomotive Firemen's Magazine. In closing the nrticle the writer said that "the brotherhood lodges at the differeat division points should take this thing up and follow the example of the Enginemen's Mechanical Associa tion of North Platte, Ifeb." From this it appears that it is just becoming gen erally known what we possess nt North Platte, and it certainly Hpenks well for the originality, push and enterprise of our railroad men.

From North Platte comes the intel ligence that Sidney Sapp, formerly one of the gay boys of Wallace, has just returned from Missouri accompanied by one of the rosy-cheeked buxom maids of that state. Sid has been a resident of Wallace for several years until recently, and was always a great lady's man; and .although the hearts of many of the fair sex in this vicinity may throb with pain at the knowledge of Sidney being mar ried, tney will all join in with the Star in wishing him and his fair bride con nubial bliss without end. Wallace Star. dens and wagons being covered with ivory and glittering gold, every horse a thoroughbred and all animals richly caparisoned in silk and satin a solid mile of them altogether. The balloon ascensions took place in the afternoon and combined with the splendid sharpshooting and other free exhibitions, vastly pleased the people who were just "looking around." In fact, everything about this immense organization seems perfect, the uni formly courteous and quiet deportment of all employes was widely commented upon, and created the most favorable impression. We beg to acknowledge courtesies ex tended by Messrs. Cook & Whitby and their representatives, and hope to again have the pleasure of attending so great an exhigition Pittsburg Press. For thirty days Strickler will sell stoves, sewing machines, wind mills and pumps at greatly reduced prices and all other goods at lower prices than ever before. Advertised Letters.
