A dispatch from Denver states that
the Union Pacific lines in Colorado -will
be directedly affected by the closing of
silver mines and its officers estimate the
loss at 75 per cent of the whole traffic, or
about $200,000 a month. They say
should suffering become apparrent in
the mountain towns they will carry
supplies at nominal figures. A conser
vative estimate of the lo6s to the Rio-
Grande road is 30 per cent of the gross
earnings, or about 8150,000 a month, and
this will increase if the mines remain
closed for any length of time. The Col
orado Midland will lose about the same
proportion of its earnings. The roads
have all commenced to lay off train
crews and have received orders from the
smelters and sampling works to accept
no ore shipments. Even gold ore is not
tcken, as it cannot be handled in most
cases without silver and lead flux.

The bonds have been voted, but it
must not bo expected to have the plant
put in at once. It will take some time
to prepare tho bonds, and when they
are ready it may bo possible that they will
not find a ready sale, but being the first
bonds issued by the city they will not
likely go begging for a purchaser at par,
and they may command a slight pre
mium. Then after the money has been
realized on them it will take some time
to make a suitable contract, the council
having signified their intention of mak
ing a careful examination of the plans,
systems and prices which may be sub
mitted by the several companies likely
to bid. It is therefore likely that the
plant will not be in operation much be
fore January 1st.
The county commissioners are now
allowing claims against the county and

Ed. Bixler, of Washington, D.TJ.,
has written The Tribune for particulars
regarding a house which has been ad
vertised for sale in these columns. Is
this to bo taken as an intimation that
Ed and his wife are considering the ad
visability of becoming residents of this
city? We trust so.
U. P. watchman Sawyer had an en
counter with overland tourists Sunday

leaden missle cut a shallow groove
his cheek, and he considers he made
narrow escape, .due ".buck" survives
and the company's property will be pro
tected as usual.
One of the most, encouraging signs
t- 4: : 1 . . ..
ui tue iiuietj is me mcresea activity in
the exportation of American wheat. The
fact that 14,000,000 bushels were cleared
from Atlantic and Pacific ports during
the four weeks ending June 23 ought to
have a stimulating if not an immediate
effect oipo,n prices. The only drawback
is the extremely low price which.'
wheat commands at this juncture in the
European market. Bee.
All Should Go.
A North Platte lady visitor at the
world's fair writes The Tribune as fol
lows: The world's fair is 6imply wonder
ful, prodigious, beautiful. The grounds
around the buildingB are exquisitely.laid
out, the statues, the fountains, the maze
of lagoons, Lnke Michigan, and all... pre j
sents a lovely picture. The buildings
are marvels. It really seems a pity that
such beautiful structures, with their
equally wonderful and interesting
exhibits, as those at the fair should be
set up for only six months. I wish one
and all couldlsee them as they are. They
are an education of themselves and nearly
equal a trip abroad. Everything is iri4
readiness and one can feast their eyes
upon the grandeur for months without
tiring. Words are too cold and vain to
express tho magnitude and quality.
A person desiring t see the fair can
form a very good idea of it in two weeks
and they will find plenty good hotels in
walking distance of any entrance and,
prices to suit any purse. I only wish it
were in the power of everyone in Lin
coln county to see the grand world's fair,
and my advice to all is to make an effort
and come.-,. . , . . ,
The Glorious Fourth.
The celebration given yesterday under
the auspices of the A. O. U. W. was well
planned and satisfactorily executed and
reflected credit on the arrangement com
mittee. In tho forenoon a parade; par
ticipated in by that lodge and the fire
department, and headed by the Gorden
cornet band, with Joe Pillion's drum
corps stationed toward the rear of the
ranks, marched through tho principal
streets and thence to Ray's grove south
of town whero the exercises and sports
of the day were held. J. M7 Ray read
tho declaration of independence and was
followed by H. M. Grimes who made one
of his usual excellent addresses. Recess
or dinner was taken, a great, many of
those present having brought with them
baskets filled with tempting lunches, and
this part of the proceedings wasartlcu-
larly enjoyable. f
After dinner a fine programmo of
sports was rendered and duly, enjoyed
by the very large audience present. The
sports lasted until about half past seven
o'clock, the concluding act being a game
of base ball. An effort was made this
forenoon to secure a list of the winners
in the race3, etc., but this could not be
obtained in time for publication.
There was no formal display of fire
works in tho evening, but enough were
shot off by various individuals to amuse
the crowd on tho streets. A dance at
Lloyd's opera house concluded the
festivities of the day.
The thanks of the public are due the
A. O. U. W. lodge for the amusement
furnished.

sister Mrs. C. W. Baskins, has concluded
to make her future home in Lowisburg,
Pa., with another sister. She left this
morning expecting to meet friends and
relatives in Chicago. She has lived
here during the best part of her life and
knows the value of a friend. Her friends
will miss her more because they know
she is leaving for good and I am sorry
to learn that she never expects to return,
although she is going to live in one of
the best states of the union. A young
man or two will feel lonesome.
Annual School Report.
So. Sioux City, Neb., Jcey 5, 1893.
Editor Tribune: In submitting my
annual report, as many of my friends
were aware of my application for my
former position here, I beg leave to
explain.
When I reached this place I found.
the former principal had changed his
mind and was, an applicant for the posi
tion. I withdrew my application at once
and next day secured the principalship
at Dakota City, four miles south. With
the same number of teachers and about
the same sized school, the classification
is higher at Dakota City, the highest
grade for the coming year having finished
the first two books of Caesar and have
completed Plane geometry. This will
give me a class of five who are similar to
the class we graduated in North Platte,
June 22d. George McMichael was
elected as my first assistant in the
school.

weekly visits of The Tribuse the com-

Warm Weather Wed dines.
On June 27th Edgar I. Raymond, a
printer employed on the Sidney Poniard
was married to Miss Lillion Stockton of
Brady Island, Justice Matthewson of
that village performing the ceremony.
On the same date Judge Ray issued
license to wed to John Schick, of Lin
coln county, and Maggie Wilson, of Keith
county, and it is likely they assumed
the marital regalia a day or two after
the issuance of the license.
On Monday forenoon last Judge Ray
pronounced the words which made Chas.
Carlstrom and Alice Wagner man and
wife. These people live about seven
miles south of Sutherland, and when
seen on the streets after the ceremony
were looking as though they were ex
ceedingly happy.
Monday afternoon James L. Jones,
living near Wallace; planked down the
necessary cash on tho county judge's
desk and asked for a license to wed
Miss Ingabeo Sandy, who also resides
in the" land of Egypt. The Judge
sent the young man away with tho nec
essary document.
Yesterday forenoon Judge Ray was
called upon to unite two hearts that beat
as one, the owners thereof being Andrew
Anderson, of Hershey, and Gertie Lar
son, of this city.
These people have the best wishes of
The Tribune and the wish is that they
may be prosperous and fruitful.
We hope to have tho M. E. choir to
assist us in our music at tho men's
meeting next Sunday.
