Dullard returned to" the city yesterday from Grand Island, where he had been taking the bi-cbloride of gold cure. The night blooming cereus owned by Judge Peniston unfolded two of its flowers Thursday eveningand six Friday evening. It presented a most beautiful sight the latter erening and was viewed by scores of people. The Era's statement that the re publican county convention would be held on October 2d was unofficial. The date will be named by the county central committee at its meeting to be held on Saturday next. Clusters of eight nnd nine large tomatoes of the Pondarosa variety can be seen on vines raised by M. J. Cronin, sad he feels that he is in position to enter into the contest with Norton, Bullard and others. Bishop A. R. Graves and wife, of Kearney, were in town Sunday, the Bishop officiating at the Church of Our Savieur both morning and evening. During the morning service a class of air was confirmed. An order was received from AVasli- ington Friday ordering the local U.

Cash Williams, of Wallace, who peddles organs through the country was treated to a coat of tar and rolled in wheat by the indignant people of Lodge Pole on Tuesday of last week. Williams is amnrried man and his intimacy with a girl living near Lodge Pole led the people to administer the dose. Rev. Paul Price, the Chicago evange list concluded his labors in this city Sunday evening with a meeting at the opera house, the audience filling nearly every seat. The meetings during all of last week were exceptionally well at tended and no doubt much good will result from the efforts of Rev. Price. He left Monday foe AelrlanaVand David City, where he will continue his work. The independent county convention held Saturday to elect delegates to the state convention was ratherly slimly attended. There were twenty-seven ac credit delegates, but this number was just doubled by going out on the streets and picking up men residing in precincts not represented by delegates. Several independent orators addressed the con vention, among them being Neville, Stebbins and Buchanan Observer Piercy's monthly report for August shows the mean temperature to have been sixty nine degrees, the highest ninety-two on the 4th and Gth, and the lowest forty on the 28th.

The total movement of wind was 6,598 utiles; the highest velocity at tained being thirty miles per hour. E. Walter Peale and Miss Nellie G. Austia were married at half past nine o'clock yesterday morning, Rev. Mc Donald officiating. The young couple left oa. the 10:50 train for Chicago and tie cast, where they will pass a month siohkseeinff and will be "at home" in this city after October 1st. The newly wedded people are well known in town, where both have resided a number of years, and have always been highly respected by all acquaintances. Th Tribune wishes them every happiness ' to which mortal is heir and a long life replete with prosperity. The Woman's Relief Corps will give its second annual supper and dance on the evening of October 17th, the place of holding the same to be announced latter. This organization is purely a charitable oae, its main purpose being to look after the seeds of the old veterans and their families when they are found to be in distressed circumstances. The members of the corps are earnest workers, and aay assistance the public lends them fiaaacially is well merited and conscien tiously applied to relieving the needy. While it will be several weeks before the supper and dance occurs.

Scharmann. Mr. Pizer has rented the Ormsby house on west Third street and is mov ing thereto to-day. We understand quite a number of promising colts belonging to Isaac Dil lon are badly effected with distemper.

Miss Mary Dixon, of thiB city, has been engaged to teach the Calhoun school this year, and will euter upon her duties some time during the 'present month. During the past week the city mar shall killed nineteen dogs on which the tax had not been paid. Nineteen less all-night howlers; let the good work go on. It doesn't look as though wo would have electric lights mveh before Janu ary 1st, and possibly not then. We will appreciate them all the more by reason of the long wait. Tom Brown's free bus to the west end of town is growing in popular favor. It is now taken advantage of by children who attend the central school sbuilding and reside in the west end. Liester Eells, who is special agent of the Commercial Union Assurance Company, will Irave in a few days for a trip ove his district which comprises the greater part cf central and western Ne braska. The city schools opened yesterday morning with about the average at tendance of pupils and in charge of a very competent corps of teachers. We predict a very successful year for our schools. With the exception of the closing of, the banks Monday there was no observance whatever of labor day in North Platte. In the large cities of the country, however, it was observed by immense parades and addresses on the labor question. Prairie chickens can now bo legally killed, the season opening last Friday. There seem to be less hunters out since then than thoro were before.- It maybe that the chickens have been cleaned out in the country within a radius of ten miles of town. Ike Watts came down from Wyom ing last night with his right arm in a sling. On Thursday last he was cutting out cattle on the Wattf ranch when his horse fell and being thrown, to the ground Ike sustained a broken collar bone. Dr. Thatcher Graves, the convicted poisoner, of Mrs. Josephine Baraby, com mitted suicide in his cell at the county jail in Denver Sunday night.

Manager Lloyd has booked for the near future the clever soubrette, Jennie Yeamans, and her admirable company who will produce for the first time in this city the drama "Jane." The com pany began the season in San Francisco a week or so ago under very auspicious circumstances, and received the stamp of approval from the press of that city. Those who have been allowing their hydrants to run all day and night, not only flooding the yards but the streets as well, will probably not be surprised to learn that Supt Scharmann has re ceived a number of metres and will con nect them to the hydrants used by those who have been wasting tho water. By this method they will be charged metre rates, instead of domestic rates, and it will teach certain ones not to abuse the liberal rights which the waterworks company has givon them. In order to show The Triiiuxe that fruit can be successfully raised in this section, Mrs. Wm. Brown, of the Third, ward, brought to this office yesterday several very large and finely flavored blue plums which grew on a tree in her yard. The tree bore prolifically this season, each branch being well filled. Mrs. Brown will have a heavy yield of wild plums which are larger than those growing in the canyons. Tho property owner who is not growing fruit trees is making a mistake, for with proper mulching they will stand our winters and late springs. ; ; : ; A POINTER : : : : -That indicates the way the breeze' of popular favor is blow- ing is the gratifying . support we are - receiving, in our ef fort to save.money for our customers at every point in our stqcL Careful buying and smallprofits mean profit for you. - CLINTON, The Jewjzler. visit with her city7i:.wLil(0v filKID: part of the week from a parents at Hastings.

G, Sawyer a retraotjon for saying that he walked into the country after plums, Ho.says he rode both ways and in a buggy, too, but that he had nothing to do with the shortage of plums. t AVe have a number of California plum trees that are bearing fruit this year.

The first matter that came up was the bid of R. A. Douglas for the electric light bonds. As the offer made was only thirty per cent of tho par value of the bonds, the council considered it oae t Douglas' jokes and the certified" ohsok for S500 was ordered returned aad the bid not considered. A communication from residsata of Second, Third and Vine streets askiag that the latter street be draiaed of stagnant water 'that was. offensive and disease-breeding was read. As a remedy for the existing evil it was ordered-thai' Vine street from First to Front street be graded. - . The judiciary committee recomaaended'4 that additional sureties on the1 liquor license bond of Wm. Langraf be re quested, and Mr. Landgraf be notified that he must secure same. Considerable time was spent in dis cussing the water pressure at the time of fires, and it seemed to be the unani mous opinion of the council that the waterworks company was not furnishing the pressure required by contract. In order that accurate tests might bo made tho city clerk was instructed to get prices on water gauges with a view of the city purchasing one. City Attorney French vas instructed to draft an ordinanco requiring property owners to cut tho weeds on tho streets' abiittiDg their lots.

Editor Tribune: In complance with the request to make a report in relation to the success attained in working up aciUiterest on the question of irrigation aiagg addressing the Business Men's Association, I will say that since AuguBt 30th, I have visited every town on the line of the Union Pacific railroad, west JEaiaVfieia to the state line, terminating f visits at Kimball, Neb. I toaad that everywhere the question ei irrigation had been discussed and there waa a universal interest on this question. Everywhere I found persons who had an idea and a plan as to how water could be obtained for their neigh berhood. It might be said that for every thousand men there were a thous and plans. Nearly every community had made some start in an irregular. ic manner, and after a thorough discussion of the question had realized that there must be more unityjof thought aad action on this subject and that until that unity could be created the task before them was too heavy for their U and weak communities. I found thatahare was a general sentiment In favor of working for state and national aid. The argument used in favor of state awaWhaaed on the justico of our ro carting something in return for our BfopoKuemor me disbursements made By hy the state for public expenses anaYthe semi-annual appropriation made for state buildings; all these disburso-' 4 l j l - -.i " .SW. . -nceaiBey, jno braaka. believed that the state ahouM help along the question of irriga tion and that if the state would make the aurveys they, the people, would construct' all tho canals A state dis. bursement made in this ma.niur, wou,$ be of greater aA in nhnnw''0. They also believe that if the national government would expend a portion of its appropriations made for levees on the lower Mississippi in aiding them to store and retain a portion of the excess of water that creates a dam, and for levees in the states of Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi, that they would make good use of this excess and that the farmer of the lower Mississippi valley would be benefited by not receiving too much water, while the farmer cf upper valleys would be greatly benefited by retaining this wasted excess of water by using it for irrigating his lands. The proposition to organize an associ ation embracing all persons residing in western Nebraska was very favorably entertained and the name of tho Western Nebraska. Irrigation Association, was what was believed to be the proper name for the association. The officers should consist of a president, secretary and treasurer with an advisory board, and any other officers that should be required. The understanding was that owing to the magnitude of the work required and the great and general benefit that would result that all of the western part of the state should unite themselves into an association for the purpose of carrying out plans for the construction of canals, lakes, reservoirs and ditches everywhere throughout the western part of the state and of helping in every way to assist tho people to secure water for irrigating purposes. There was a general unani--minity of opinion on this question. The proposition to form local organizations in ever' town, each of which would elect delegates to a general convention to be held sometime in September or October in some part of western Nebraska, was generally assented to and local organiza tions will be created in every town wherever practical. It may be said that there was no difference of opinion on tho benefits to be derived. Everyono seemed favorable. All admitted the benefits to be secured; the only question was how to obtain water. All admitted that the value of their farms would be doubled as well as the business and general enhancement of values of all town property. The belief was expressed that with an ex tended system of irrigation, with the storage of water in lakes and reservoirs, that the rainfall could bo increased and a favorable change for agriculture created. Also that the population could be rapidly increased; that a general and permanent revival of prosperity would ensue; that with the great increase in production per acre that would result from the use of water by irrigation that western Nebraska would soon rival the eastera-porlton of the state in the quan tity of its crops. Much mora might be said as to the advantages of irrigation but there is not the snace to do so. 1 have been re- ques'tod to return to all points visited and organize local associations, with the view of creating from these one general association, so that all of western Ne braska shall unite nnd pull together to promote tho question of practical irriga tion.

The creaie da lacreme are ".t Newport; The nobility have established a new bathing place called Baileys beach, at the end of Bellevue avenue, in the heart of the millionaires' quarter. It is only about 300, yards in length, but that small space the cottagers think they can hold against the assaults of the coinaaoa herd. No buses or horse cars are allowed, rfc ' land pasaengers-taer during the snom- ing hours. A bathing house has bees built, "with a granite nvrtico. In this little retreata 9 feet by 2, each of which uohis uw in u. mi ft ui. iuu niriiiTun WHO owbs it. A stranger could no saore bnv or hire one of ..these bathing houses than he could engage a front seat in the bal cony of heave. Fifteen of the houses v belong to the Vanderbilt family; others to the Astors, the Stuyvesant Fishes, the De Forrests and their clan. The hours for bathing are from 11 B tho morning until 1. At 11 three guarils make their appearance; one patrols the beach; two others in a lifeboat cruise 100 yards out. It is their business to rescue swimmers who run danger of drowning. Three young ladies, Miss Clews and the two Misses Pierson, put their patience sorely to the test. When Miss Clews' head appears, the guards take out their oars as a matter of course and head for the open sea. When the bathing begins, if a stranger makes his appearance on the beach, men and matrons follow him with such sad, reproachful glances that he wonders what he has done now and sneaks out of the sacred preserve in a demoralised condition.

Om Kje aad Oae Thb-. - On I, a venerable New York Chinasaaa. who pronounces his name "One Eye," has made a vacancy in one of the best fam ilies of Baltimore by complaining against William Kuhn before United States Commissioner Shields. Even first fam ilies resort to laundries, it seems, and when Mr. Kuhn called for his goods at 60 Third avenue and failed to produce the ticket which was supposed to be their equivalent, there was considerable trou ble, which he promptly pacified with a counterfeit fo bilL The $4.13 which he received in change completely wrecked Mr. On Ts ex chequer and might have furnished Mr. Kuhn with funds for a prolonged racket had not On I and his partner, One Lung, chased him down the Bowery and had him called up before Commissioner Shields. On I may have some chance of getting justice, ashe was born on "Malch 17, 1839."

New York Recorder KaUaew to Help Gerasaay. We are happy to give assurance to Germany that we shall be pleased to sup ply her with all the breadstuffs 8he may need this year. Wo shall ask only a fair price for them. We can also supply her with other kinds of agricultural prod ucts, quantities of them. We have somo Indian meal to spare, and it can be fed to the army horses, as the kaiser has ordered. We have yet some hay left. If Germany needs fruits or wines, we have them for sale. We can supply her with the best pork and bacon in tho world, besides other meats, fresh or" salt, in cold storage or otherwise. This is tho market to which Germany ought to come whenever she needs anything, whatever it may be. We must trust that Russia will non feel badly because we stand ready to supply Germany -with food for man and beast. We stand thus ready at this timo and nearly alwaj-s. When once the Ger man people and their cattle get accus tomed to American products, we aro sure that it will be hard to induce them to feed upon anything else. New York Sun. An Alderman Was Referee.
