For several nights last week the dis play of "northern lights" was verv bril liant, probably the fiaest that has ever Deen seen m this locality. If you are in need of a baby carriage, and. yen are lucky if such is the case, call at H. S. Keith's and examine th fine line he received yesterday. A large number of hogs were mar keted m this city yesterday. With the couBtry skinned out as closely as it is, i-the prospect is good for better prices for June pigs. The band boys are working up a . very pleasant musical programme for . their entertainment next month. It promises to be a pleasant affair and will be worthy of your attendance. John Keith titillated the risibilities of the county court last Saturday with aome of bis amusing anecdotes, to the extent that it cost him a box of cigars to square himself. F. A. Simpson who is one of the "boomers" holding down a claim near Cottonwood, had the misfortune to loose a horse last Sunday on account of the animal getting entangled in a barbed wire fence. The Fair store has put in some movable step ladders which travel along the shelving. These add much to con venience and capacity of the clerks in serving customers. The boys are quick to avail themselves of all labor saving devices. News has reached this city that Pat Walsh, formerly of North Platte, died , and. was, buried in San Francisco on the 22d inst. He has resided in tho latter city for the past two years, ft is said that his daughter "Kiltie has been a sufferer with paralysis for some time. Wm. Sullivan received a new silver plated Eb alto born the latter part of last week from au eastern manufacturer. It is an instrument of very nice finish and excellent tone and thore is no reason why William should not now speedily 6tep into the front rank of soloists. For Sale Cheap, a seven-room house, well located. Enquire at this office. tf The Tribune slightly erred last week in stating that the price of the luncheon to be served Friday night of this week by the daughters of Rebekah' would be but one dime each. The cost will be 15 cents for adults and 10 cents for children. Quite an interesting musical programme is being prepared. Two furnished rooms for rent to lodgers on reasonable terms, with or without board. Nex j door west of jail building. Mrs. G. C. Stoddard. With tho present low prices for potatoes it is said that the thousands of bushels of "Irish lemons" held between this city and Sutherland will probably be worth much less than at present It . behooves the holders to immediately get a move on tbemselves and secure a mar ket, or California and southern potatoes will soon flood the market and drive out the last year's crop. Secretary Rideout, of the Y. M. C. A., has handed in his resignation to the board of directors to take effect April l6t The board, however, are not dis posed to have Mr. Rideout leave the city and it ,is likely arrangements can be made wheroby he will remain with us. 3Ir. Rideout has had positions offered him at Columbus, Ind., and at a point in Texas. Ho is an earnest worker nnd a very'eittcient secretary nndTHETRinusE would very much regret to have him leave North Platte. A. H. Church has been slightly ill since his return from the tr. A. K. en campment at Lincoln. Ho received many encomiums while m tho capital city upon his administration of Grand Army affairs during the past year in Nebraska. Ho was presented with a gavel made from timber grown upon the old homestead of Abraham Lincoln with which to preside over tho sessions of the veterans. It is said that ho traveled over more miles, visited more camp-fires and reunions, and expended more of his timeaud means than any department commander the G. A. R. has had in Ne braska. A well known vocalist of this city has requested The Tribune to agitate the matter of getting tho singers of this city together and organizing a sort of sangerbund, or huge singing class. The idoa is an excellent one and should be carried out With the paucity of singers for tho various church choirs, and other societies-of this city, there is an excellent demand (or vocalists, and it is a geod nlun tn eet together and muster all the i " available voices possible in order to dis cover who are the good singers. A competent trainer could be secured and much good, and considerable pleasure, might Result from the movement. What say you Messrs. Warner, Hilliker, Clin ton, Swarthout, et al? When will you have the call issued? The patent on tho bell telephone ovpired January 30th, 1894, says the Scientific American, and the invention has become the property of the public, Heretofore the large cities have had s monopoly of the use of the telepeone because the smaller towns could not put in a system on account of the expense, The patent that has expired applies only to the hand instrument now used as receiver, but patents on other apparatus are still in force. Enough, however, has become the property of the public so that any one who desires can make, buy or sell telephones with no fear of inf ring ing the right of any one. The matter of putting m a system could be undertaken by home parties who have the welfare of the city at heart and the city council would doubtlest lend assistance. The greatest cost at present would be for wire and poles and the cost of raaintain- taining would depend upon the number of telephones put into use. To the Public : I he mercantile business of- Harrington & Tobin will be continued in the future without chanp-e of name, Mrs. M. T. Tobin owning and holding her late Husband s interest m the business. We shall do our ut most to please the trade, and guarantee lair and courteous treatment. We fully realize tne great loss sustained thro the death of Mr. Tobin, and know that no man can take his place in the hearts of our pat rons. Mr. Arthur Rush, who has been chief clerk in the house for the past five years, and all the other clerks will be found in their usual places, and we shall all do as much as we can to make you feel at home in our store in the future as in the past. M. C. Harrington. Mary M. Tobin. Bessie Anderson celebrated her thirteenth birthday Monday by giving a party to some fifteen or twenty of her young friends, who passed a very enjoy able evening. A fine line of baby carriages were received by B. S. Keith yesterday, em bracing tho latest patterns. They are offered for sale at prices that will prove satisfactory. Mrs. A. H. Church entertained a number of ladies at an afternoon tea Thursday, an event given in favor of her sister, Mrs. C. F. Ormsby. The head miller at the North Platte roller mills has been nursing a badly mashed finger on account of getting it between a roller and the edge of a wagon box. By a supreme court decision Matt Claire, of this city, has been awarded a verdict for S5.000 against tho Omaha steel railway company on account of injuries received several months ago. Smoke the "Little Star" cigar; clear Havana. "Made by McGlone & Hess. James Helton moves the adoption of $20,000 in bonds of North Platte school district No. 1 for the erection of a suit able High school building. And all the people will say amen and second the motion if they are allowed a chance to express themselves at the polls. A young child of policeman John Shaffer was severely scalded Friday by falling into a tub of hot water. Fortun ately the mother was near by and rescued tho child quickly else the result would have been much more serious. New life has been infused into the Lutheran congregation since Rev.Foulk assumed the pastorate, and the reverend gentleman is preaching to large audi ences. During the past week about $106 have been subscribed by tho mem bers toward paying off incumbrances on the property. Good results are sure to follow Rev. Foulk's enorgetic work. A can and canine traveling as a "double-header" caused considerable amusement to the spectators on Spruce street on Monday afternoon. The animal was caught stealing meat from a butcher shop and this was the punishment meted out to him. Dogsoned if old Nemesis was not correct in inllicting such a penalty upon a canine who would develop such cannibalistic tendencies as to devour a section of bologna sausago. The death of M. T. Tobin necessi tated M. C. Harrington handing in his resignation as assistant cjishier of the First National Bank, a position which he has creditably filled for several years. Ho will give his entiro attention to the mercantile business in which he was interested with Mr. Tobin. His placo in the bank is filled by F. L. Mooney, who for several years has been in tho Daw son County National at Lexington, and who is a very competent and obliging young man. The Tribune is a littlo behind its contemporaries in chronicling the mar riage of Clarence 31. Newton and MrF. Lucy Laubenheimer, but itsconsratula tions and best wishes are none tho less hearty. The event occurred at the resi dence of the brido Wednesday evening of last week, Rev. Irwin performing the ceremony. Tho contracting parties are well and favorably known and their many friends wish them a long life replete with success and happiness. Smoke the "Little Star" cigar; clear Havana. Made by McGlone & Hess. Tho mock murder trial given at Keith's hall Friday evening by theyoung members of the local L.L. A, was indeed a creditable display of juvenilo forensic ability. Tho lawyers who had the case in chargo acquitted themselves very creditably in their pleadings and gave evidence of the rapid progress -the boys are making in oratory. The prisoner arraigned on tho charge of murder was acquitted by tho jury. R. F. Forrest presided as judgo with becoming dignity. In order to accommodate the grow ing needs of tho community, H. S. Keith has just received a fine line of baby carriages of the latest patterns. Call and look them over while tho selec tion is large. After somo annoying delays, tho carpets for the K. P. hall arrived the middle of last week, and the room is now fully ready for occupancy. Already the Modern Woodmen, Ancient Older of Hibernians, the Independent Order of Good Templars and one or two other societies havo rented tho hall for lodge purposes; and several other organiza tions are considering the advisability of holding their meetings there. The hall is verv neatlv furnished and presents a very attractive appearance. The case of Oscar W. Sullivan, living near Nichols, against the Union Pacific railway comnanv for setting out tho prairie fire last April, attracted consider able attention last week in the district court. Upon tho disposition of this case o rnmW nf nthpr suits were held in awn. After a fair and deliberate reason that Alex Fenwick was first out investigation the jury rendered a verdict I and his antipathy to pulling passenger favor of the defendants.

Judge Smith, of Omaha, the gentleman who was injured in the Claries railroad wreck soma time ago, is in this city to day on legal business. Dr. F. N. Dick returned the first of this week from his visit to the land of "yams" and "goobers." It is needless to say that the doctor highly enjoyed his trip. H. S.

Postmaster Wood and Gus Huffman, tho latter accompanied by Mrs. Fred W. Robbius, returned from their eastern trip the infer part of last week.

McOonnolI, superintendent of motive power and machinery, passod through this city yesterday on their way to Omaha. Engineer Goff came throjgh from Cheyenne with train No. 2 on time yes terday on account of No. 3 being so late that Charley Ell could not get to Sidney in time to catch his regular run. Engine 766 has gene to Omaha to receive a new fire-box and a general over hauling. Thero, brethren, is a comfort able engine for freight service, but her speed qualities aro somewhat like those of the hybrid called the mule. The 841 was held in this week for the purpose of receiving some repairs. Tho G79 and Charles Black was put on the 7 and 8 run, and Frank Tracy with the 843 was assigned to pull trains No. 3 and 2. Thos. Duke left on No. 7 yesterday morning to attend the general meeting of the American Railway Union at Chey enne. He represents the North Platte loclgo of the organization. Tom is a pretty conservative fellow and will make a go'd representative. Wm. Smnllwood accompanied Mon agan's orchestra to Lexington last week to attend the fire department ball at that place. Concluding that village was a trifle slow for him he went on to Kear ney and attended a vaudeville perform ance by a number of French (?) damsels. While coming up on No. 1 last Thurs day night John Bonner, with his reliable old 801, down near Vroman struck what was probably a hay-rack containing a driver with a jag on board. Whatever was struck made a mark along the coaches of the entire train. News reached this city Monday night that Judgo Riher, of Cheyenne, had granted tho employees' petition praying for an injunction restraining the receivers of tho Union Pacific railway company from putting into effect on March 1st, in Wyoming and Colorado, the contem plated wage reduction. H. J. Clark, like a number of others have done in the past year, whistled so loud and strong going into Brady Island one morning last week that his whistle flew off and he was compelled to give up his train No. 6. Charley Dill took the train from that station to Grand Island with the reliable old 716. Something went wrong in one of the cylindors of engine 838 one night last week up at Paxton and engineer Stuart was compelled to partially disconnect the machinery. He lost but a trifle of time in so doing. At Sidney he took down one of his rods and brought No. 4 back to North Platte on time, for the We have just received another line of those handsome!

It is said that Millard Hosier will be restored to his road rights and begin work again for the 'company to-morrow. This is but justice, as it is extremely doubtful if he was in any way respon sible for the burning of the boiler with which he was charged. .iOne thing is certain that it is remarkable that parties could use the same engine for several' days thereafter and not discover that it was burned. This looks as if there were Senegambian concealed somewhere about the collection of combustible material. "ENGINEER," MAKES ANOTHER TKII.

'am surprised to find that a man who is possessed of brains enough to write such an 'ablefl.nd wilty article as "Jerry" did must work on the section.

It is well known that men without education or even but little common sense can nerform the labor connecteeH with the maintenance of track,under the supervision of a foreman.

PB L --The Passing of a Good Man. ; XSafrTh'ursday night between 12 and I o'clock, after .suffering for sovoral days with th scourge of northern climates pneumonia, IT. T. Tobin's spirit passed into the presenco of his creator. Al though hifilast illness was but very "brief his friends, anticipated tho inevitable, yet the blow was hone the less severe. Mr. Tobin came to North Platto some five years ago from Iliff, Col., and engaged in the grocery business, associat ing himself with M. C. Harrington. By his pleasant and accommodating ways ha .built up a largo business and made a friend of every one with whom ho came .imo contact, bo true is this that we ibeliova it can be trutfifully said that he bad not an enemy in the entire commu nity. Being just in tho primo of man hood his death must produce a warniag which will cause tho thoughtful person to recall' tho words of tho psalmist wherpin is stated the proposition that '"man is'but of a few days." Death is no respecter of persons, and is a great leveler; the rich, the poor; the high, tho low; all are within his domain and must yield to.his icy touch. This common lot of all is what caused the prince of poets to exclaim that "one touch of naturo makes tho world akin." And yet despite tho specious sophistries of tho skeptic the feeling obtains that tho gravo is not the end of man thero is a something beyond which tho greatest scientific minds are beginning to admit is un fathomable to human ken; a something above and beyond a mero scientific deduction as to tho origin of tho human species and its ultimate ending. To the tru9 christian mind tho hope of a reward sufficient to recom pense it for all the sacrifices mado dur ing this earthly life. And who can suc- theirs is not tho jreward, consummation sure of Jiccom- feelings toward his fellow workmenrnrUo. pjfrhm?nt. So live as to bo ever prepared receive higher compensation for labdnh u,a 'nawe summons ot tho grim that requires skill and judgment. ',Jerny,:)j?F'7Per- should also take into consideratiou r-tjiQ greater expense which running on the road incur?. Au engineer and all tram- A - T men are compouea to uvo awu irum borne a great part of the time. My ex penses away irom home for board and' room are sometimes nearly as much : as "Jerry's" whole monthly pay. Engineers and all road men are liable to meet with accidents which may cripple them or cost them their lives. For this reason we ; insure our lives so that our families may not be "subjects for county aid." "Jerry," I can assure you the insurance companies charge, us a good fat premium,, for faking these risks. This is another item of expense that men who follow "Jerry's" laborious calling (leaningon a shovel) are-, not subjected to. ' As to putting on style: I know of no engineer in this town against wnom that charge can be brought A man having any solf-respect surely derives pleasure from seeing his wife and family neatly and comfortably dressed and prp-J ided for; and the larger his pay, the. more comforts will ho naturally provide for his family. If this is putting-on ttylo I think it is of a very mild form. With reference to the garnishees I will say. that I know of no engineer who has been so unfortunate as to bo garnisheed who brought that misfortune on himself by putting on style. On tho coutrary"en gineers who have been garnisheed aro those who havo run behind on account'" of sickness in family or other unes. roisfdr-1 Tho funeral obsequies took placo from :St. Patrick's church on Monday morn ing at 9 o'clock, and was attended by a vast throng, scores of whom wero unablo to obtain admittanco to tho building. Tho services wore conducted by Rev. M. OToole, and thoy wero of a thor oughly befitting and deeply touching character. In strong ard well chosen langimge, tompored with true christian charity, tho spoaker portrayod the many virtues in the character of tho deceased; and t6 the living who chooso to lead a a religious life he held out the blessed promise of a reward in the world to como. Many expressions of pleasure have been heard in regard to tho mas terly words of the reverend gentleman. Many minds were disabused of tho' idea, by Teason of his romarks, that it was not good to live, and die, in a christian faith. Tho ceremonies wore attended by the members of the Catholic Knights of Afrierica, tho Ancient Order of Hiber nians, the Improved Order of Rod Men and Daughters of Pocahontas, together with large numbors of our citizens. The pall bearers upon tho part of the C. K. A. wero Joseph Schatz and John Ot tenstein; for tho A. O. H., Frank T. Redmond and Wm. McGlone: for the Red Men, Thos. O'Neal and W. J.Roche. The floral tokens were more olaborato and costly than ever before in use upon a similar occasion in this city.

An unusually largo number of car riages and various vehicles escorted the remains to their last resting placo in the Catholic cemetery south of the city. Michael Thomas Tobin was born in Chicago, 111., Nov. 1st, 1856. During tho war ot the rebellion his father enlisted in the U. S. navy and served on the war vessel Carondalet, among other engage ments being present at the blockading of Island No. 10, and was mustered out in 1865. In 1866 with his family he moved to Omaha, Neb., and wnt to work for the Union Pacific R'y in the capacity of section foreman at what is now the sue of (Jverton, ISeb. On April 23th, 1868, he was assassinated by Sioux Indians under tho leadership of Red Cloud. At this time M. T. Tobin, the subject of this sketch, was but a youth of twelvo years of nge, and upon his young shoulders fell many of tho family burdens. In 1869 the railroad company located the family at Lone Tree, Nob what i3 now called Central City. In 1879 the de ceased came to North Platto and was married to Mary Minerva, daughter of Isaac Lamplujih. Of this union six children wero born. For seven years ho was section foreman at Iliff, Col!, for tho U. P. Co. In 18S9 he located in North Platte.embarking is tho mercantile busi ness, since which time his lifo has been as an open book whoso pages might bo profitably scanned by our whole people. May his ashes re?t in peace. Resolution of Condolence. BT BBASCH 440, C. K. Or A.
