lite l&tihwt. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1894. The custom of making New Year's calk was observed to eomo extent in town Monday. Mrs. McCune, ot Wallace, was bmught in Saturday night in r.n insane condition. She is very violent at times, and was taken to Norfolk yesterday. Ac eleven pound boy baby was born to Mr .and Mrs. Howard Jeffries Mon day. That is an excellent way in which to begin the new year. ThoB. Daly, late of this city, orders The Tkibcxe sent to bis address at BloomiDgton, 111., in which city he ex pects to make bis future home. Next Sunday evening Rev. L. P. McDonal will begin a series of sermons upon the Ten Commandments, taking them in order, on Sunday evenings. 4 The Germans of the city held a dance on the second flror of the Holteen building New Year's eve, and a very happy and jolly time resulted. Benedict's Fabio Romani company, which had a date at the opera house for Friday evening, has cancelled the en gagement for reasons unknown to Man ager Lloyd. Monday's Bee contained the a jdress delivered by Judge Emery at the irriga tion convention two weeks ago. The Ike is doing good work for the cause of irrigation. New Year's Day was a very quiet one, about all Ihe business houses being closed after ten o'clock in the morning. The sbojis were closed nnd the employes passed tho hours at such amusement as could be found. Gustavo Mills, who was sentenced by J udga Neville to thirty days imprison ment and pay a one hundred dollar fino by reason of being found guilty to the charge of adultery, has been released, having served his term and paid his h'ne. The A. O. H. will hold an entertain ment at Lloyd's opera house on the even--ing of the 16th inst. Hon. Matt Gering, of Piattsmouth, will deliver an address .and a very interesting musical and liter ary programme will be rendered. The three North PJatto banks begin the new year with considerably over three hundred thousand dollars in deposit r.nd with amplo cash on hand to meet the requirements of business. Very few.chattel loans are being made. In closing up the business of his term Sheriff Baker found quite a num ber of foreclosure cases on which decrees had been granted by Judge Neville, and on the 3d day of February the sheriff will offer for sale about twenty-five pieces of property. The local company of National Guards is figuring on purchasing a lot on west Sixth street on which to erect an armory. The proposed building will be 41x110 feet, two stories and built of brick. It wiil be erected by a stock company. 1. Thoelecke is building a dam across the mouth of the canyon on his farm on the south side and. expects thereby to create a storage basin which will water quite a tract of land. Other Mr. Thcelocke'8 example Last week G. W. Dillard bought the two brick buildings on Spruce street occupied by Dr. Longley nnd F. J. Broeker of H. R. Ottmun for the re ported consideration of $5,000. This is certainly cheap property and Mr. Dillard can consider ho got a bargain. It is with regret the people of North Platte lonrn of the affliction which has befallen JR. J. Wyman, namely aberra tion of the mind. Mr. Wyman was brought down from Denver last week, where he had been visiting his son Arthur, and is now being cared for by Mrs. Emma Pulver. There will bo a meeting held at Sutherland, Neb., on Saturday evening, JanuaryiCth, for the purpose of discuss ing ways and means by which water can be obtiuned for irrigation purposes. Everybody invited who has an interest in that vicinity. By order of local irri gation committee, John Conway, Pres. We understand that a number of our leading farmers are agitating the question: of organizing a Lincoln County Farmers' Club of similar character to a large number of other such orgnniza tions lha,t exist in the majority of our eastern counties. These associations are of great benefit to the farmers and they should 1 encouraged. W. F. Gates says a city contemporary erred inits statement that the Knights of Pythias had rented Keith's hall nnd would use it regularly for lodge meet ings. Mr. Gates has, however, offered to fit upja hall in the Keith block for lodge purposes providing me jvniguis ui Pythias iagree to rent it for a term of years. Through the courtesy of J. H. Hershey The Tribune editor, along with a number of other North Platto men, has bi-en smoking cigars mado from tobacco grown in Lincoln county. While these c gars cannot be compared with a Havanim filler, they are superior to many five-cent brands sold in the local market. C H. Stamp has purchased of H. Otten a 'half interest in the Star boot and shoe 6tore, the transfer having been made the latter part of the week. Mr. Stamp has been casting his eye around for several weeks for a business in which to engage and finally accepted Mr. Otten'fi:offer of a half interest in the latter'ft ; 6tore. This establishment has been enjoying an excellent business and the new! partner, who will give the store his attention, will soe that it loses none of its prestige and popularity, in" fact it is safe to predict that the business will show an increase. H. S. Boal came in from La Crosse the latter part of the week and spent a day or wo in town on business. "Pan Malt isia winner," said Mr. Boal as he deftly rolled his forth-third cigarette for the day. "Orders are coming in faster than wp can fill them, and the plants which the company will erect at Salt Lake, Denver and other points are already needed to supply the demand. The capacity of our La Crosse, mill has been quardrupled since first starting, and we contemplate making further im provements. Men want it, women must have it! and children cry for it, therefore under touch conditions the future of Pan Malt is exceedingly bright." The Hook and Ladder company wil meet Monday, January 8th. Sheriff elect Miller moved his family and personal effects in from Garfield Monday. Remember the concert for the bene fit of the poor on the evening of the 13th inst. Tickets 50 and 35 cents. At the request of Judge Snelling, weather-maker Piercy gave us alight rail or snow this morning. D. W. Crane will address the men's meeting at the Y. M. C. A. next Sunday a:io p. m. Topic, "The Open Switch." Special meeting of Signet Chapter No. 55 will be held on Friday night, Jan- otb. Annie C. Kramph, Sec. By order of Annie M. Hall, N. M. Walnuts suitable for planting or to eat at 50 cents per bushel in bars f. o. b Full instructions for planting, etc. Ad dress at once, Ed. H. Smith, nursery man, Utica, Mo. Rev. James Leonard, presiding elder of this M. E. district, was in town the latter part of the week making arrange ments to move his family to North Platte which in the future will be the elder's headquarters. Several of the weather flags are now worn out and that is the reason why no weather signals have been displayed lately from the flagstaff on Odd Fellows' building. New flags are expected from Washington. The rooms hitherto occupied by Mrs. W. C. Ritner over the Marble Sbop have been taken bv rac and I am pre pared to take a few table boarders and would respectfully solicit tho patronage of tho people. Mrs. M. E. Wood. A "watch" meeting was hold at the Episcopal church Sunday .night, about twenty-five persons assembling to pass tho last fow minutes of the old year in prayer. The services, of which the holy communion was a part, were very impressive. -It is stated that the North Platte Clothing Co., which it was announced would open a store in town about Jan'v 15th, died before it was fully developed; the backer having concluded to invest his capital in othor business. -A very appreciable Christmas gift to The Tribune editor came from Photo grapher Broach in tho shape of a hand some crayon picture of his, tho editor's, little daughter. Tho work is exception ally well oxecutod, and is in keeping with the fine photographs which Mr. Broach is constantly turning out. Rev. David Foulk, formerly of Pen nsylvania but lately of Colorado, has accepted a call to the Lutheran-pulpit of this city and hold his first service Sunday. Mr. Foulk is a very earnest worker, delivers strong nnd excellent discourses and will ably assist the other ministers of the city in building up tho Master's cause. The annual ball of the locomotive firemen et the opora house Friday even ing was well attended both by dancers aad spectators. The hall was beautified by the lavish use of streamers, the music waB excellent and the members of the committee courteous. Under these con ditions no one failed to have a most excellent time. Supper was served at Schuff's at midnight. Just 78,810 hours ago or more: clearly uine years the lirst number of The Tribune was. presented to the public for approval or disapproval. The fact that tho papr enters one thousand homes each week is evidence that it is appreciated or else the public is very charitable toward the publisher. No matter which surmise is correct so- long j as subscribers pay promptly. I A. L. McNcel on Monday filed a water right in tho clerk's office which calls for sixty cubic feet of water per second under a four inch pressure from east Birdwood creek. The proposed ditch will run through sections 15, 23, 26 and 35, town 16, range 33, sections 1, 10, 11,12,13,14,23, 24, 25, 26, 35 and 36, town 15, rango 33, and sections 7, 18, 19, nnd 30, in town 15, range 32, in Lincoln county. Pohaska Tribe No. 10, 1. O. R. M, ncd the Pocohontas degree bold joint snstallation services at the hall last evening, Grand Senior Sagamore Warner installing tho officers. At the conclusion of this ceremony a social was held, high- fivo and other games being played. Monagan's orcaestra discoursed sweet music during the evening. Refresh ments, including fried oysters were served, which proved one of the most onjoyablo numbers on tho programme. The attendance was very largo, the ball being packed. After six years of efficient service as Sheriff of Lincoln county, D. A. Baker steps down and out. That ho has well performed the duties of the office is admitted by all, and that he was not successful in the last election was due to the action of a few voters who refused to support him simply because they held the opinion that ho had held the office as long as any one man was entitled to it No man in the county has a largor circle of warm personal friends than Mr. Baker and they will wish him success in what ever business ho may decide to engage in the future. A citizen suggests that in case tho proposition to issue bonds for electric lights is re-submitted to the voters at the coming spring election that the interest be placed at seven per cent in stead of six, in order that the bonds may sell more readily. We are of the opinion that six percent interest is all that North Platte can afford to pay on electric light bonds, and especially when it is an open question as to whether the plant can bo made self sustaining. If tho democrats are not liars not all are by next sum mor President Grover and his congress will have corked up the panic and six per cent bonds will find a ready market. "No politics in mine," eaid'Colonel Cody Saturday, as he sank into one ot our heavily upholstered office chairs, antl spread his feet out oifthe moquotte carpet. "I have a three years' engage ment ahead of me, and I don't have time nor inclination to meddle with politics. Next season the Wild Wefc stands in New York, where we are now fitting up an arena and erecting a -grand stand which will seat 18,000 people. In 1895 we will show in Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago, and In 1896 go to London. There is a barrel of money in sight, and lam after the barrel" just then the sun's rays struck one of the Colonel's big diamonds, the reflection blinded the writer and the Colonel escaped. THE CHICAGO INTER OCEAN Says that the more people talk about hard times the harder tbejhj get It baa not kept talking hard times but it has been increMuitf its circulation right .along. Same way with us. You never bfr i us howl about hard times and politics, (we don't want an office) because we are attending to our own business and by so doing it .; is increasing right along. When you want anything in our :lie " you will find us right at the same old stand. CLINTON, The, Jeweler. PEREGRINATING PEOPLE; W. L. McGee, of Omaha, is in town to-day on business.

Tnis ditch runs through the lands of; Isaac Dillon lying west, north and' tmm, of the city and the Cody property west; of town embracing some seven thousssA! acres. But this is not all. It is believesV that arrangements can be perfi whereby tho ditch will divide a distance west of town and crossing the railroad track irrigate several, thoui acres located west and south of town. Profiting by the experience, of Colorado irrigation ists, Meests,- Cedy and Dillon propose to .divide their lands into forty and eighty tracts and locate thereon a class of enterprising farmers who are financially ablo to make permanent improvements and it is likely tho owners of the other lands adjacent to or on the line of the ditch will follow their example. Ten thousand acres of land divided into small tracts a,nd farmed intensely through irrigation means much for the projectors of the ditch, for North. Platte and for Lincoln county.' It meansan. increaso of at least ono thousand in'the population within a radius of eight srifes of the city; the production of enormous yields of farm products; it, in connectios with the present ditch, will result in, making this section of the Platte valley tho paradiso of Nebraska; tbe home of contented and happy farmers. .

He i by saying that he had visited brth Platte as earlvnsIB68 nnd nssktod hxi(catiag the first minister in this city, adfor over half an hour told his audi ence of 'tho growth of the Y. M. C.

Ithvas not denominational, but was more cloBoly allied to tho evangelical churches thin any other organization, even more so ' than the .Sunday-school. In every large city the association has elegant buildings, where the members havo the opportunity for mental, physical and moral training, and are provided with entertainment of an elavating nature. The people of North Platte should main tain, the local organization, for it is a good thing for all, and cspeciallv for the young men which it is iutended shall be and are reached. In this connection The Trihcne trusts that our people will subscribe as liber ally to the maintenance ot tho associa tion as they have in the post. That it is a beneficial organization is proven by a study of the secretary's report It pro vides a place for the young men of tho town who otherwise would seek ques tionable resorts; it jurnishes an opportu nity for young men to improve their intellectual status through the medium' of the circulating library and its. large, list of papers and magazines; and, last riiu,t.not Jenst.iprpvides. jipiritnal Jn- struction. ao words are too strong when applied to the work performed by the very efficient- secretary E.

From tho Perry, (Iowa) Advertiser wo clip tho following account of tho acci dent which befell Will Ginn, formerly of this city on Thursday of laEt week: Brakeman Will Ginn received injuries Thursdnywhicb arc likely to prove fatal. Tho accident occurcd near Tama. He had gone out on the local No. 92, Con ductor Holmes, in the morning. The train had made the stop for the North western crossing a mile west of Tama. It gave a sudden jerk in starting, and Ginn, who was just in the act of stepping from tho top of one car to another, was 'thrown between them. The cruel wheels 'caught him and ho was" frightfully mangled. Both arms were crushed, and the right foot. He was taken to Tama, and the surgeons amputated the left arm at the shoulder, tho right arm near the elbow and the right leg abovo the ankle. How any man could sustain Such injuries and live at all is a mystery. Hjs wire went to Tama on No. 2 and his father followed on No. 4. Tho latter returned yesterday morning, and reports Will as then alive and -conscious, but the reaction had not yet set in, and the physicians held out no hope of his re covery. Will was an 'experienced and careful railroad man, sober and reliable. He was for a long timo conductor on the .Union Pacific, but roturned to this city and the Milwaukee a year or so ago. He is held in high esteem, and his friends will hope, while there is a chance for hop?, that ho may yet survive tho terrible accidont.

It is strange that so few realize the astonishing amount of work which the twelve and sixteen-foot Aermotor wind mills will do in irrigating land. In Ne braska and many other states there are thousands of acres of land which now practically produce nothing. This land is immensely rich and fertile, and if water can begot upon it will produce enormous crops, but without water tho farmer is absolutely at the mercy of the weather. A great many acres are gen erally put under cultivation by each farmer, and, if the season is good and favored with abundant rain, the crops will be heavy, but too often, even for two or three years in succession, the crops will prove almost a total failure. How many farmers, and especially those who live near the small cities, would be independently rich if they had from ten to twonty acres of land bountifully sup plied with water! A good pump will deliver fully 10,000 gallons of water per hour through a six inch pipe from a shallow well, or 1,000 gallons per hour from a well where the water is to bo lifted about 200 feet. The question is often asked, bow much water does it take to irrigate an acre of land? Twenty-seven thousand gallons will cover one acre of land one inch deep. In a great many localities water may be discharged into what is called a ground tank or reservoir. The mill may pump into such a tank for months before the water is noeded, and thus store an enor mous quantity of water. It is not abso lutely essential td.have a tank cither of wood or the kind mentioned above; but better results can be obtained, as it is much moro desirable to store up tho water and use it when it is needed.

The state teachers convention held at Lincoln December 27tb, 28th aud 29th was one long to be remembered by those in attendance. The crowd commenced to come in as early as Wednesday morn ing, and by three o'clock in the after noon, tho hour sot for the assembling of tho teachers in the university hall at tho various round tables, almost all tho representative delegates from all parts of this state and many adjoining states had arrived.

The convention was formally opened by an invocation by Chancellor Canfield in the university chapel at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday evening. A well prepared entertainment was given consisting of music by tho university orchestra, ste reoptican views and an interesting and well prepared paper by Supt J. J. Mo rey, of Kearney, on "photography in the high school," which was an address full of inspiration, showing the uses to bo derived in teaching this branch in tho high school. Ho said among many other things that it was not only a cul tivator of art in the pupil, but that in the study of the sciences, such as bota ny and zoology, many facts could be preserved while out in the field of inves tigation that could not be were it not for the camera. At tho close of the programme a reception was given by the committee in Grant Memorial Hall. A large number were present to be intro- duced andalL seeped .freehand easy to become acquainted. Next in import ance on the programme was a paper by Supt E. N. Brown, of Hastings, dis cussed by Supt. F. A. Fitzpatrick, of Omaha. Tho subject of this paper was departmental teaching. From the dis cussion that followed wo conclude that it will not be many years until in all our second class city high schools specialists will bo employed to teach special sub jects, viz: ono teacher to instruct in mathematics, another for tho classics, and so on. Of course this means a greator expense to keep up the schools, but it will raise the standard of our schools to a much higher level and in crease the ability of the average high school graduate. Mr. Brown argued for general departmental teaching throughout all grades of our public schools, but Mr. Fitzpatrick limited it to tho high school, using for his argu ment against a general application of this plan the fact that it would tend to disintegrate or eoparato tho city schools as a whole. Music was given throughout the pro gramme by tho York high school quar tette which reflected well upon the teaching of music in tho high school. An able address was given by Pres. G. Stanley Hall, of Worcester, Mass , on the Study of Children. He discussed child nature from birth to manhood and womanhood. He said that it was violat ing a law of pedagogy to suppress or constrain the selfish nature of a child, that all are born selfish and the only way to overcome this is by training the child in our schools until his own reason tells him how to do better. Dr. Hall spoke again to an overflow meeting as the last participant on the programme at the LanBing opera house Friday ev ening. Chancellor Canfield, of the state university, was elected president of tho association to convene next time at Lin coln. F. L. Meredith. Wallace Warblings. The groceryman has turned physician. He has discovered an infallible remedy for cistic and renal diseases. He has presented his receipt to Uncle Robert Horner for the benefit of his various Wallace visitors. The dance at tho Wallace House on New Year's night was a decided social and financial success. The supper which was given all the time was extraordinary and the music furnished by G. S. Duf field and B. S. Applegate, violinists, assisted by the organ was out of sight. The liberal attendance and existing harmony assures another effort soon. Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Chaso havo dis posed of a major portion ot their ter restrial domain here and will, in a couple of weeks, visit friends in Wisconsin and Minnesota for several months.

The Prof, will open the school room again on next Monday, and John will return to Holdrege in a couple of weeks.

Niohol Huggets. January 2d. 1894. The first day of tho new year was a fine one indeed. A little wintry the last of the week. Soveral from this section were in the Platte on business on Friday last.

Will Brooks helped to furnish tho music for the dance at Paxto'u last night. Bruce Stuart, of North Platte, visited his brother Ray at this place a few days last week. Tho masquerade ball at Hershey Fri day night last was a success in every detail and a social time enjoyed by all who participated. Two hands are doing the work upon this section at this place at present. Thore is a report in circulation that a few of tho parties who aro depending on water from tho ditch for their crops are going to sue tho company because they claim the company did not furnish them with their full quota of water last season. J. G. Feeken has been doing consider able work with his corn sheller up west of late. Richard Brown has been on the sick list for the past week but is able to be up and around again at present. The majority of the schools that have been having a vacation duringthe holi days will resume business Monday next Several from these parts took in the dance at axtn last evenine.

The new residences that the ditch campany are erecting are boing rushed along as fast as tho weather will permit A number of friends and neighbors spent a very pleasant evening in differ ent ways on Thursday evening last at tho residence of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Mosher's. A jolly good time is reported. We understand that George and Ben Gibbons are still baling and loading hay for J. H. Hershey. George Wilsou has not gone to Iowa yet but he was at the masquerade dance Friday night all the same. It is stated that Sutherland is antici pating a new depot in the near future. We hope that its anticipations will be fully realized as the business done at that point demands it. Several are suffering more or less from the grippe in this vicinity at present but am glad to state that it is still in a mild form up to date. M. C. Harrington and another gentle man, of North Platte, were looking after business interests in this section of the country the first of this week. Several farmers throughout the coun try are said to be holding their swine until after the holidays, thinking that by so doing they would secure a better price. for them. We have heard of stranger things than tho above coming true. An old gentleman from the south side by the name of Kleinkemper was en deavoring to sell books, silver ware, eta, in this community recently, but with poor success. Mrs. Hancock, who is teaching in the Sisson district, left for her home at Castle Rock, Colorado, on Friday night previous to Christmas for a visit with her parents at that place during the center of the train jumped the track; just as it pulled off the west switoa thus leaving a part of the train on the main line and the balance on the side track.
