live Wfibm WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1894. A boy baby was born to Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Harrington on Wednesday of last week. Unless matters take an unexpected turn Elmer Baker will attend a veterin ary college in Chicago this year. R. F. Forrest has opened a law and abstract office on the second floor of the Morsch building on Spruce street. Joe 'McGraw went to Chappell the oarly part of the week to take cases on the Register, a position ho formerly held. FredKade. of Mylander precinct, who has been sick since last October was in town Monday. Ho is regaining his accustomed health rather slowly. The ice harvest is now in full blast in this section, and this week will see stored the greater part of tho stock needed to supply the local demand. Judge Snelling was critically ill Sat urday and Sunday with an attack of la grippe which threatened to result in pneumonia. He is now convalescing. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lyons mourn tho death of their little baby which died Saturday night. The funeral was held at tho Episcopal church Monday after noon. Tho prices at which staple dry goods arc now being sold by North Platte merchants ought to arrest tho attention of even those who persist in buying everything out of town. Daring tho past two years ten thous and dollars in cash have been contributed to tho various funds of tho Church of Our Saviour. This includes the dona tions to tho building fund. The local lodge of Order of Railway Trainmen will hold its first annual ball at tho opera houso on Friday evening of this week. Prof. Bartling's Grand Island orchestra will furnish tiie music. Jno. B. Walker, who sbot and killed Stevens at Farnatu last spring, was senteuccd last Friday to be hanged at Lexington on May 11th nest. This will bo Dawson county's lirst legal hanging. Tho furniture and carpets for the Knights of Pythias hall have been ordered and will probably arrive this week. Tho furnishings wiil givo tho hall a very neat and attractive appearance. Heretofore tho seed raisers of Dick ons have rold their individual product to eastern firms, but they havo uow formed a local organization and by pooling their crop hope to realize more satisfactory prices. Four of tho bums who were sheltered iu jail tho early part of last week to escape sun"eriug from tho storm wero taken to Kearney Friday by Sheriff Nutter, of Buffalo county, where thoy are wanted on the charge of stealing fivo overcoats. in tho season tho indiea thcre will bo very little .""building done iu town' this year, a con--'" dition that will not bo appreciated by ho carpenters and masons. But just waifruntil the .arrival- of the "good rpld - democratic tiniesnd then ? WW r r-This early - Jtions are that The members of tho Gordon cornet, band put on their new uniforms Sunday and "had a group picture taken by photo grapher Broach. It is not known just when tho boys will havo a chanco to nppcar in public in their S3i50 clothes. The Dickens correspondent of the Wallace Star says: A colony is expected to settle up tho vacant land northeast of Dickens in the spring. The land is owned by parties in the east. A well is that four to be nut on each section so families can uso it. W. E. Beach, while going down tho steps of the Pacific Hotel Saturday night, slipped and fell, breaking his right leg between the ankle and knee, lie was carried to his room in tho hotel, a physician summoned and tho fractured limb set. Tho accident is an unfortu uato and painful one to Mr. Beach and his friends very much rogret its occur rence. - Treasurer Buchanan received this week a state warrant for 83,390.30, boing tho amount of state school money due Lincoln county. This sum will bo ap portioned among the various districts by tho county superintendent. It is said the money is already here for tho pay ment of the Union Pacific Cos taxes. This is somewhat in advance of tho time the latter corporation has been paying its taxes. What do tho populists of Lincoln county think of Wm. Beatty, of Brady Island, circulating a petition in this city the first of this week to have a republi can postmaster re-appointed in that village? Is it possible that Bill is devel oping into a traitor to the cause? We wot not The probabilities are that it is feared there may bo a change in tho amount of trade in certain localities in case of a removal of the postoflice. A nice between three ice boats manned by Jean Picard, Babe Picard and young Joe Fillion took place on the south river Sunday in which a record of a mile in sixty-two seconds was made by Jean's boat. Babo's boat is acknowl edged to be the most speedy, but in Sundays race a sail was broken and he came in third. Owing to holes in the ice tho boats cannot be sailed to their full capacity, else much better time could b? made. Evangelist Nathan, who began a series of meetings at Keith's hall Tues day ovening of last week is, with the assistance of the pastors and members of the city churchrs. meeting with great success. Each evening the seating capa city of tho hall about 500-is unequal to the demauds and hundreds have been turned away. Much good is resulting, so far about seventy-five arising in the meetings and thus expressing their desire to become christians. The names of these are taken, together with the church denomination they prefer, and the pastors of tho respective churches are supposed to look after future spiritual welfare. The men's meeting Sunday afternoon was exceptionably will attended, about every Eeat in the hall being occupied. Mr. Nathan gave a very plain, pointed talk on the several vices, and implored his audience to accept the SaTior as the sure safeguard against immorality. At the close of this meeting a number of men arose for C7 prayers. The meetings will be con ducted the remainder of tho week. Rev. James Leonard held quarterly meeting at the Methodist Episcopal church last Sunday morning. Radishes, lettuce, green onions and California celery will be kept on hand from now on at the Enterprise Bakery. Newell Burritt has been arranging some conveniences about the county clerk's office which adds much to his comfort. From the Duluth Press account the people of that bustling city gave our own and only "Buffalo Bill" a rousing recep tion last week. Next Monday night the city solons will have two or three new ordinances with which to wrestle that are of general interest to the public. The Tribute added a couple hundred dollars worth of material to its. job de partment this week and is now especially well equipped for pamphlet and brief work. Tho charter of the Degree of Honor the feminine branch of the A. O. U. W. was closed last night with 105 mem bers' names enrolled thereon. This is tho largest ladies' society in our city. Our ice dealers havo bestirred them selves lively the past week and a large crop of the conjealed moisture, of ex cellent quality, has been stored away to keep cool the frisky lager next summer. I havo $1,500 private money to loan on city business property bringing in rent. Security must be gilt edge. M. C. Harrington. I. A. Fort went to O'Neill on Monday of this week to attend the North Nebraska irrigation meeting. He goes to Buffalo county next week to organize the movement there. Ho has more bus iness on his bauds at present than any- j body. j Friday is the day which it is said j tho ground hog annually comes forth ' from his winter hibernating resort and examines into tho condition of the weather. Let us hope we may have a cloudy morning. - -Many of our citizens are providing a j skating rink iu their yards for their children's delight by allowing tho water to run from their lawn hydrants. It is an open question with expert landscape gardeners whether it is not injurious to tame grasses to turn the water over a lawn in freezing weather. It may bo posstblo that ex Sheriff Baker will start a cheese faetory in the spring on his farm west of town. If he engages in tho business his output the first year will bo limited to tho product of about twenty-live cows and increase the numbor as tho business justifies. Mr. Baker is a iractical cheese maker, having followed that business in New York prior to coming to Nebraska. Lexington is just organizing an athletic club. Come, now, Bro. Kricr, don't bo making any "jaw-bone" offers of a fabulous purso for tho Cor-bett-Jacksou mill. Too many one-horse towns havo attempted this fake method of attaining a little cheap notoriety. Go ahead and comploto tho arrangements for your hanging beo and wo will guar antee you big gate money. A paper published in tho eastern part of the state makes tho statement that North Platte ispver run with tramps. Tnis'is a mistake" Situated on the great "overland route" tramps pass ing east and west frequently stop over in town a few hours to stretch their limbs, but with tho exception of a half dozen who put in an appcarauce last week, tho city has been comparatively free of them. - -T. Fulton Gantt was summoned by telegraph to Denver this week to take tho employees' side of tho injunc tion order prayed for by the receivers of tho Union Pacific to prevent tho men from quitting work in case an attempt is made to enforce tho proposed reduction in wages. Rob't G. Ingersoll has been employed by tho federated board of this system to take the employees' side of tho csfc. He is acting in a similar capacity for the men of tho Northern Pacific, and he has instructed them to poll their organi zations, and if a majority desire tostriko to do so, and ho will win out tho game for them. The ladies" exchange which is opened each Saturday in tho room formerly occupied by E. J. Newton, is proving quite a successful financial venture for tho ladies of tho Presbyterian church who have charge. The stock which con sists of cold and pressed meats, bread, cakes and pies, aro donated by tho ladies of tho church and sold to customers who aro attracted to tho exchaugeby tho fact that everything offered for sale is pre pared by excellent cooks. The net re-" ceipts are donated to the church. A lunch is also served at noon to those who apply. Tho K. O. T. M. and L. O.T. M.held a joint installatiou meeting last Wednes day evening, and officers for tho coming year were installed by each lodge sepa rately as follows: John Hawloy, P. C; E. B. Warner, Com.; H. O. Evans. L.t- Com.: C. F. Scharmann, R. K.; J. C. Piercy, F. K.; W. N. Amsbary; chaplain; O. G. Saver, Sergt.; W. D. Pulver, M. at A.: J. W. Aue, 1st M. G.: Fred Elliott, 2d M. G. E. B. Martin, S.; M.

Warner, Lady Com.; LucyLuu- benheimer, Lady Lt.-Com.; Pink Jones, Lady R. K : Jennie B. White, Lady F. K; Kate D. Wood, Lady Chap.: Magnolia Duke, Lady Sergt.: Lucinda Clark Lady M. at A.; Jennie E. Fisher, Lady S.; MollieF. Redmond, Lady P. The in stalling officer for the men was Geo. C. Donehower, P. C, and for the women Mrs. E. R. Nesbitt, P. C. The members of the L. O. T. M. evidently came well prepared ta outdo tho men and they are entitled to tho credit of having per formed their service more neatly and creditably than the K. O. T. M. They also came prepared with a surprise in the way of eatables which were served after the services. The hall was full and those who were compelled to stay away ou account of the cold missed the impressive ceremonies and a good time. The L. O. T. M. not like many other auxilliary orders, does not take in men, in fact L. O. T. M., they say, stands for "Leave Out The Men," but any woman of proper age who passes the ballot and a satisfactory medical examination can take a benefit certificate of from $500 to $2000. Nebraska Tent No. 1, and Pride of Nebraska Hive No. 1, as their numbers indicate, were the first to be organized in this state and North Platte should be proud of being both the father and the mother of two such beneficial societies. Among the improvements made in North Platte last year which perhaps has escaped the notice of the indifferent or careless observer was the erection by the Standard Oil Co. of two large storaee reservoirs of a capacity of 22,000 gallons each for the reception of oil and gasoline. They are substantial in construction and economical for the company. North Platte labor built the sub-structure and by their erection quite a nnmber of the dollars of our daddies were put in circu lation in this city which otherwise would not probably have been expended. In addition to these storage tasks the com pany has put in a specially constructed tank-wagon for use in ita wholesale trade. These facilities for handling its trade should be appreciated bv mer chants purchasing from this company By their use leakage and evaporation- wnicn are oorne oy me retailer -is re duced to a minimum. Heretofore nier chants when purchasing oil have been compelled to accept tho amount shown by the shipping bill as the number of gallons for which they were required to pay, although frequently the leakage and evaporation would amount to ten, or more, per cent. By buying directly from the company,as at present managed,thcse two items of loss are eliminated from tho business or reduced to a minimum. With the establishment of a local agency in our city tho company has afforded another advantage to our merchants, as they are enabled to order in just such quantities as they may desire or their trade justifies; and they aro not com pelled to havo considerable capital "tied up" iu oil awaiting slow returns. The oil handled in this manner is tho "Per fection" brand, standing a test of 120 , which 1b about twenty degrees higher than is required by the state. Much credit to the high standard of tho man agement of tho business here is due to the push jfind energy of tho resident manager, Claude Weingaud. By his in dustry and activity has ho built up a business for the company which is yiolding n neat revenue, and still ho has not exhausted all his resources for hold ing and acquiring new trade. In all rorts and Kinds ot weather his wagons may ba seen upon our streets supplying iu a satisfactory manner the wantB of his numerous patrons. During his leisure moments this winter whon he is not much crowded with other business the editor of the Gering Courier is building a Hue of railroad up the North Platte river. Let us hope that he may succeed iu his efforts. However the citizens up the valley must be set right upon oue or two points in regard to this matter. In tho first place the Union Pacific is not at present in shape to undertake tho con struction of any new lines of road; it will do extremely well to maintain what it already has. In somo other quarter then must we look for a construction com pany probably the B. & M. or the Mis souri Pacific would bo tho most available corporations for the people of tho terri tory in question named to approach. Another error is presuming that $100,000 in bonds can be voted in aid of this enterprise by Lincoln county. The pre cincts directly affected and North Platte are willing to assist in every possible way the-CTternrTselHIt lt''fiftrllol siblc to get this amount of aid from the county for a line running in the direction contemplated. As much of the success of a line of railroad depends upon its local trade the proposed route should be tho most profitable one in western Ne braska, as all the way to the state line and over into Wyoming will it go through a territory that lies under irri gating ditches, the only sure way of achieving agricultural success in this country. In view of tho importance of the matter and in order to place it well before the people, it might be well for our business men -to issue a call for a public meeting in this city and start the ball, rolling. Van E. McCarty, the popular yoi ng fireman, was married at Cozad on Tues day of last week to Miss Lulu Hanna, of that place. Speaking of tho wedding tho Cozr.d Tribune sayB: "Tho bride is one of Cozad's highly respected and accomplished young ladies, whilo the groom is an omployeo of tho Union Pacific, being employed as fireman. Tho ceremony was performed at six o'clock p. m. in the presence of relatives and in vited guests, many being prevented from attending owing to tho extreme severity of the weather. At tho con clusion of the ceremony, after congratu lations had been extended tho happy couple, tho party repaired to tho Com mercial hotel where an excellent dinner was in waiting. The bride and groom departed on No. 5 for a wedding tour covering the cities of Cheyenne. Denver and Salt Lake City. Upon their return they will take up their residence at North Platte." The couple were the recipients of many handsomo wedding presents. The Tribune extends its best wishes to Mr. and Mrs. McCarty. Capt. B. F. Baker, formerly in charge of the McPherson national ceme tery, but who is now stationei near Philadelphia writes as follows: "Times are dull here. The tariff and income tax business is killing everything will bo nothing to tax soon: for unless there is an improvement Boon there will be no income to tax. Comrade Church's letter lias the right ring. Hoke Smith below par; Gresham ditto, and Grovor, well he can still whip the cuckoos into line. Say, where is Kem and the reservation bill? Best wishes to North Platte friends.' Captain A. D. Yokum who is known to many of The Tribune readers as the man who, in Hastings, in Feb ruary 1892, 6hot and killed Myron Van Fleet, a newspaper reporter, for the alleged slandering of his daughter, and who was convicted of manslaughter for that crime, and pardoned by Gov. Boyd before the penitentiary received him, attempted 6uicide at Pasadena, Califor nia, last Tuesday by cutting his throat with a pruning-knife. When found he was almost dead and tried to blame the foot-pads, but the position of thewound was such as to contradiot his statement. The wound was dressed and it is thought he will recover. Do rot put off taking a medicine Nu merou6 little ailments, if neglected, will soon break up the system. Take Hood's Sarsaparilla now, to expel dis ease, give strength and appetite. We have nice line of novelties and staple goods in Jew elry and Silverware. Perhaps some of your friends are going to be married or will have a birthday soon. If so it would be nice of you to remember them with a pretty little souvenir. CfclKTON, The Jeweler. (U. P. Watch Examiner.) PEREGRINATING PEOPLE- , A. S.

D. -The result of tho fistic encounter at Jacksonville last week was very mortify ing to several of our citizens who are warm admirers of Cholly Mitchell. We believe, however, none of them backed their admiration by putting up money. We havo received No. 2, Vol. I, of Midland Monthly, a new literary maga zine just established in Dps Moines, Iowa. It is very neatly printed . and contains much matter of especial inter est to former citizens of the Hawkeye 6tate. However, it is doubtful if there iB aufiicieut "culchaw" in the Iowa capi tal to make the monthly a success as a purely literary venture. -Scott and George Vaughan, living about live miles southwest of North Platte, arrived Sunday aftornoon in search of a set of harness belonging to tho former and a saddle belonging to Bernard Beer. Tho gentlemen took tho back trail Wednesday in possession of a strong clue, but nothing more. Scott came back yesterday evening, accompan ied by a friend, and roportod that a set of harness had also been stolen from Dr. Longley's ranch. Two of tho Eggers boys, living seven miles southeast, were suspected, and Mr. Vaughn and con stable Tridle went down and placed them under arrest, bringing them back for safo koeping. Wallnco Star. The accused wero brought to this city Satur day and gave bond for their appearance to-morrow. One of the most profitable crops a farmer can raise in this country appears to be alfalfa. As instances of what has been done in Dawson county with this crop we cite the followiug: Phil Yocum, a prosperous farmer living about three miles north of Lexington, has three and one-half acres in alfalfa. He cut ono crop and permitted the second to go to seed, from which he threshed twenty-one bushels. This seed he sold in this city at 35.00 per bushel, which means 3105.00, or 830.00 per acre to Eay nothing of the six or seven tyns of hay he put up. A. W. Goff, another farmer living near Yo kum, has twelve acres of alfalfa from which threshed 85 bushels of seed, which means a return of over ?35.00 per acre. Still another farmer who culti vates alfalfa is C. H. Ballisger. We j are told that last season Mr. Ballinger sold 3L500.00 worth of seed . Alfalfa seed has has been discovered to be a dye for prints, calicos, e quently it is quite probable will continue to be an inc: for it Lexington Pioneer.

Wood White, the man who manipulates tho throttle on this machine has had all the interior brass work nickle-plated, which makes it loom up in elegant style. It would bo too bad if Wood would get her fixed up in first-class style for some "scab" to run her, in case of difficulty over tho new wage scale. The first of the week tho word was Hashed over the entire Union Pacific system that a reduction in the pay of trainmen would take place on March 1st Although this has been expected since last October yet it was so slow in coming that it nevertheless occasioned consider able surprise. An iron clad injunction restraining the men from striking was granted by Judge Duidy. This latter will not be worth the paper upon which it is written if the men wish to quit work as individuals, a rigbtguaranteed by the consttiution of our government, and which no petty 7x9 individual vested with a little brief authority can take away. All this bluffing by corporation counsel, about throwing men in jail charged with contempt of court on account of peaceably quitting work is tho rankest sort of nonsense. Public sentiment is what controls affairs in a republic, and it is stronger than the law, and in ninety-nino cases out of one hundred is more apt to correctly arrive at the equities of a case than whon passed upon by an autocratic judge who imag ines his tenure of office to bo for life no matter what his judicial rulings. Yet how erroneous the impression that federal judges are something above and unyielding to public sentiment Every one.of them has his ear to the ground listening for popular approval, or if he does not do so his official term does not lohpontiaae. Should a United States judge eoaiBMB.ce autocratic methods by orderiBgj aay considerable number ot ten confaed in jail for voluntarily quit ng their eecupation, and bow quickly would tke tax payers and citizens of our country order the jails thrown open in order that the double burden of feeding the unemployed who have been guilty of no grievous sin, and at the same time being compelled to caro for their fami lies.
