On Friday evening of this week tho North Platte Fire Department will hold its sixth annual ball at Lloyd's opera house. If there is one organization or society which deserves tho. liberal finan cial support of our citizens, it is the fire department, and The Tribune believes that this is generally recognized. The members of the department practically receive no compensation for their heroic work during fires,- and tho time they devote to the good of the organization. Their interest never lags, 8nd they re spond with alacrity to all fire alarms no matter how pressing their work may be at that particular time. They are, there fore, entitled to the hearty support of our people, not only by words of com mendation, but in a financial way when opportunities are presented, such, for instance as the coming ball. Many men do not dance, and do not care to go as spectators to a dance, but they should be glad to contribute their mite in the purchase of a ticket and thus help aloDg in organization whose worthiness can not bo questioned. If the ball does not net the boys at least one hundred dollars The Tribune will conclude that our citizens do not properly appreciate their efficient fire department. Lot everyono make it a point to purchase either daiice or spectator tickets. Glass ware, water sets, at Charles McDonald's for holiday trade. The irrigation meeting at the court house Monday evening, which was really an open meeting of the Business Men's Association, was certainly an interesting one, and while the audience present was fair in size it was not as large as the im portance of the matters ducussed de manded. In the absence of President .Hammond, who was sjck,M. C. Harring ton occupied the chair and stated thai object of the meeting, namely, the ad- vancement of theories on the subject; of irrigation and the perfecting of -arrangements for the state irrigation con vention to be held in this city commenc ing on Tuesday of next week. Judge Hoagland was the first gentleman called, ofor a speech. The Judge was not .a practical irrigationist, but it mustbe' apparent to all that the rainfall in "this section was not sufficient to prodc6 successive crops, and that irrigation tae the proper thing. In the ditch wesfcroi town we had a practical demonstration of the benefits of irrigation. He was followed by Mr Wilcox, who, while not discouraging a general irrigation of the west, spoke at length on the practicabil ity of constructing ditches to irrigate the. bottom lands on the north and south Bides of tho- river.

From reports he had received, he was assured that at least two hundred dele gates would bo present, and that the number might reach three hundred and fifty. Rev. Irwin, Mayor Warner, and Messrs. Park, Grimes, Rhea-and Iddings made practical remarks on the subject and believed that it was the duty of every citizen to tako an earnest interest in tho convention and make it a success. It wsb tho sense of the meeting that the hotels could not properly accommodate all the delegates, and it was requested that citizens entertain as many delegates as possible. This proposition was well received and those present at the meet ing agreed to tako care of about thirty. It was requested that all citizens who can "entertain delegates leave their namo with T. M. Clark, secretary of the Busi ness Men's Association. It was decided to hold the convention at Lloyd's opera house, thus insuring accommodations for all who wish to attend. The recep tion committee was increased to ten in number, and nftor the transaction of some other minor business the meeting adjourned. THIRD WAKD LOCAL EVESTS. COLLECTED EY ALIBI Mrs. F.

But three years ago tbero was said to bo but five republicans in the county, and one year ago theie were three democrats to one republican. But steadily and rapidly the peoplo have become enlightened and trutu and. jus tice prevails, notwithstanding the lies, srandera.anorvituperation resorted to by the Liberals." In this election Col Cody was running for tho" legislature and Guy Barton for senator, the former carrying the county by a majority of ten and the latter by fifty-three. At tho date of the paper T.

Tho publication of the minutes of Buffalo Bill Hook and Ladder Company last week has caused considerable com ment. Tho hose company responsible for tho turning of tho water upon Mr. Woodhurst was the toam from this ward. When Mr. Woodhurst appeared in a second story window and gave the in formation that there was no firo there, a bystander yelled, "turn the wsiter on him" and the water was turned on the impulse of tho moment without any malicious intent, while to some members of the company, the identity of the man in the window was unknown. A mem ber of the W. W.Hose Co. said that the H. &-L. Co. could doubtless put any thing on its minutes that it saw fit to approve but the minutes of last week should not have been published. In my mind there was nothing wrong intended and if the incident was the cause of any enmity to arise between the companies it should be dispelled. One thing, how ever, and I am not speaking of any par ticular fire, will always remain a part of our fire departments long as our city is not large enough to support a paid department and that is that there are too many bosses among outsiders at every fire. f Jre Dollar He-ward. .
