L A. Fort was in Gothenburg Friday making arrangements for an irrigation meeting to be held at that place in the near future. W. E. Beach, who sustained the fracture of one of his legs a few weeks ago, is recovering nicely, and expects to be out upon our streets in a few days. A new ehort.order lunch counter is being fitted up in the room adjoining "Guy's Place." It will be conducted by Wm. Lyons and another gentleman. Work on the Cody ditch will be commenced as soon as the grader, or dered some time ago, arrives. Employ ment will be given to a number of men. Irma Cody entertained a number of her young friends Monday evening and crave s'proeramme which proved inter esting to them as well as to the more agodones present Franklin Psale requests us to an nounce that the tombstones which he ordered from the government last sum mer for ex-soldiers are for ready delivery asd can be had upon application to him. I. A. Fort was the first to bring into our office a home-grown Russian thistle. It was a First ward production. This is the plant which the secretary of agri? oqltijre declares makes good feed for sheep, Rev.

A. directory, the price of annual tickets was placed at the former price, three dollars per year. It was found that five dollars excluded many who wero willing to pay three dollars.

Harrington &Tobh carry a complete Ijnem bulk and packagos, T-The social given last Friday evaaiag by members of the Rebekah lodge was a very pleasant affair and a Beat sum at money was netted. An interesting mu sical and literary program was carried out Dr. Somers blushingly bore off the boners as an inimitable Negro and Dutch comedian. A number of what are known as the Bryan brand of democrats have invited thn Hon. William Jenuincs. when bo makes his famous swing around the circle, to appear in North Platte and de liver his famous lecture upon "How I Failed to Die in the Last Ditch; or Why Calhoun is not Postmaster at Lincoln." T4ie friends" of Victor YonGoetz have requested the use of that gentle man's name as a candidate for the office of mayor. He is a prudent, conservative business man and would make a good pfficial. So far as we have heard any roefltiqn pf candidates that of Mr. Von Gpifappears to bo the most satisfac tory to The Tribune. Some weeks ago a fellow canvassed the city for orders for enlarging pictures and claimed to have headquarters in Omaha. A small cash guarantee was exaotitd and many persons yielded up their shekels for this purpose. At the present time the parties are unable to say whether they will ever be able to recover either their photographs or money. J. B. Curtis, of Portland, Mo., the owner of a large tract of land in this and Dawson counties, was in town Saturday.

There was a big jam at the social given by the ladies' auxiliary at the Y M. C A. rooms Friday evening; in fact the crowd was so great as to prevent the. ladies from renderipg certain parts of l-.r ... . . . . . - the programme, .every enorc was maae to entertain the crowd, however, and there was no room for complaint on this score. Refreshments consisting of sand wiches, coffee apd cake were served in abHRdapce by the ladies in charge. Mrs. Jane Smallwood died at her residence south of the river on Wednesr day night of last week, at the age of about eighty years, from the effects of la grippe contracted last December.

This is mentioned merely for the benefit of future histor ians. E. F. Rideout was confined to the house the early part of the week with a threatened attack of infiamation of the bowels. Wild geese have been on the wing for several days past, and in a week or so hunters will probably have some ex cellent shooting. Several farmers on the south side took advantage of the pleasant weather the latter part of the week and put in part of their 6priag wheat. A large number of horses at the Cody ranch are being broken so as to be used in excavating the Cody-Dillon irrigation ditch this spring. Quite a number of cars of baled hay have been shipped from this station during the past week, Harrington & Tobin being the principal shippers.

Iowa Qity Republican. A gentleman who is in close touch .with T. Faltoa Gantt informs Tbc Tri bune that the Colonel has no aspirations for congressional honors, and would not consent to be the populist candidate. The same authority, however, claims thnt Judge Neville would not be adverse to receiving the pop nomination. Matt Daugherty, of Ogalalla, tho chairman of the republican cougres 6ional committee for this district, made this office a pleasant call Monday of this week. He announces that a meeting of the committee will be held in Kearney on the 13th inst for the purpose of fix ing the time and place for holding the convention and arranging for vigorous campaign wqrk. Rev. and Mrs. Clay Cox, who havo been conducting revival meetings at the M. E. church of this place for the past three weeks, have been the means of bringing many out of the darkless jnto the light. It has wrought one of tho greatest changes that has ever been witnessed in Wallace. To give an idea of the good accomplished, 159 persons have been at tho altar seeking salvation. Mr. and Mrs. Cox are thorough evange lists and are highly esteemed by the entire community, Wallace Star. -The deal between Smith Clark and G. W. Dillard was closed Wednesday of last week, and tho latter is now in charge of the coal yard. Mr. Dillard spent about twenty-two years in firing and running an engine without anj" very bad mishap, and concluded to quit railroad ing while his record was good and before he met with an accident which might prove fatal, or deprive him of making a living for himself and family. Mr. Dil lard is well known to the people pf the city and county, and wo predict he will corrall a full share of the coal trad,e. Following is tho statistical statet ment of the Y. M, C.

By way of comdarison, let us suppose that a farmer raises 1,000 bushels of wheat a year, and sells this to 1,000 persons in all parts of the cQuntryt a great portion of them saying, I will hand you a dollar in short time." The farmer does not want to be small and says: "All right" Soon the 1.000 busbel6 are cone, but he has nothing to show for it, and he then realizes that he has fooled away his whole crop and its value to him is due him in a thousand little driblets. Conse quently, he iB seriously embarrassed in his business, because his debtors, each owing him one dollar, treat it as a small matter and think it would not help much. Continue this kind of business year in and yesr out as the publisher does, how Jong-would he stand it? A jngment'-g any one ;nai a EASTER GREETINGS i Will soon be in order. Christmas and Easter are the hfo most joyous days of the year. Then is the time whea you feel joyous and happy and would like your friendsrto feel the same.

Nov that both "An Engineer" and "Jerry" havo each had a couple of in- nings, an armistice must oe caueu oy Tun Tribune.

The Tribune has received a com munication by a pupil of one of our oity schools which it must respectfully de cline to publish; not but what the arti cle is unusually well written, for Buch is true, yet if it were published other pu pils would demand the right to have their essays published, and these would eventually overburdened our columns.

Frank Crick was sentenced last Sat urday to live thirty days in tho county jail for having raised a disturbance at home. V. E. Meyer has torn down his black smith shop but will rebuild, makizg the new one just one-half larger. An in crease in business made tne change necessary. T. C. Bobbitt has charge of the shop and he has recently associated with him Mr. Felty. Mrs. J. C. Orr arrived Sunday evening from Alexandria, Neb. Mr. and Mrs. Orr will reside for the present with Val Scharmann, father of Mrs. Orr. Wm. Rector was called to Omaha Sat urday by surgeons in charge of his daugh ter Lena. An amputation was neces sary and Mr. Rector returned for his wifo. Yesterday the right leg of the lit tle girl was taken off above the knee, the bone having rotted away. This great loss first started by a fall m the sidewalk ovor a year ago. The family has the sympathy of the community. C. W. Raskins was thirty-four years old yesterday, and Mrs. Geo. Raskins and Mrs. Kate Weir learning that he would be in on train 17 in tho afternoon proceeded at once to get up a surprise party and they succeeded m getting a verv jolly crowd together. There were no old people in the party and every one was as young as they used to bo. There wero present Dr. and Mrs. Eves, Mr. and Mrs. Fowler, Mr. and Mrs. Morri son. Mr. and Mrs. Stroud, Mr. and Mrs Col. Owens, Mr. and Mrs. Lon Owens, Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Bird, Mesdames A. E. Bonner, Al. Johnson, Geo. S- Ras kins, Kate Weir, Jas. Snyder, "Wm.

Masters, Claude Weingand, r red Weingand and Harry Baskins. One of the pleasant features of the evening's entertainment that caused a great deal of merriment was tho prize offered to the person guessing the weight of Mrs. Geo. S. Raskins. Card of Tiianks I take this method The clever comedy novelty "Ole' Olson" that so thoroughly pleased the people last season and besides stamping its future success throughout the entire country, is billed for Tuesday, March 13th. It goes without saying that it will meet a hearty reception. The company has been strengthened and now in cludes some of tho best comedy talent possessed in any organization. Richard Raker is the Ole. Pretty little Adalaide Crawford is looking after the role of Genie, Ole's sweetheart. The balance of tEe company is made up of such clever talent as Olivo Martin, Irene Worrell, W. J. Holton, John C. Cince, Z.T. Evans, J. A. Allison and others. All in all Olo's v'iBit will be hailed with delight by his old time admirers. Uno continual roar of Iauchter is the verdict by all who have spent an evening with "Ole Olson This is really ono of. tho brightast, uni que and most novel plays that the Amer ican theater going public have enjoyed for many a day. It is bubbling over with wit and originality, whilo it is held together with a clean and wholesome plot that speaks for itself in the last act This season's company embraces superior talent, whilo tho specialties, songs, dancee, etc., are fresh, new and pleasing, The date is fixed for Tuesday, March 13. "Jerry" Again on the Witness Stand. North Platte, Marth 5th, 1894. Editok Tribcwe: "la a multitude of words there is vanity, saith the preacher." Thw suggestive passage of Holy Writ occurred to sse whea I readrtbc ssTasioa ot "An Engineer" in yoar issae of last week. He however, to be a sympathetic sort of a fellow, who feels another's woe yea, one who would relieve human suffering were it in his power. He characterizes ray letter as "able and witty." If it be, then a section hand is not to be judged by tho size of his shovel any more than by the coat he wears; for in the various walks of life. intellectual ability has masqueraded in all manners of garbs, and section men, as well as engineers, have attained high positions, aad a few havo at one time held them. "Necessity knows no law," and it is more honorable to dig than to beg. I will call attention to two dis crepancies in "Jiiugmeer s" letter regard ing myself. He supposes I work on tho section because I "love that kind of work." This is not so, for I distinctly Btated, poverty compelled me to accept tho menial employment, and I will be ndebtcd to any ono who will aid mo to better. CAgain, whether it takes more brains to manipulate a shovel than it does to guide "a mighty machine." I simply questioned whether more brains are required to run an engine than to keep a track in order that is, lay out and maintain a road-bed; for tho welfare of a whole system depends upon its effi ciency. However, "Engineer's" ambi guity of statoment is of little consequence Byron states that the lirst man who ventured to mid ocean in a ship must have had a soul of steel, but I think tho first man who ran "a mighty machine" at tho rate of seventy miles an hour must have had one of brass of a very good quality. Nerve and reckless daring too often characterize tho average engineer, and it is the danger attending the avoca tion that commauds high pay, and not altogether the skill required not only work on tho section here, but they run engines and build them too iu Italy, that sunny land, for centuries the seat of science and art. A Chinaman should not be deprecated because he is a Chinaman, no, nor because he becomes a section hand, and it says little for a christian community that Chinamen have been beaten, abased and murdered whilo seeking to make a living in this land of ours where all men aro free and equal. On the U. P. system ihore are Swedes, Danes, Norwegians, Germans, Irish, Scotch and English on engines; some firing, others running, and why an Italian or Chinaman of ordinary intelli gence and sufficient practice could not guide "a mighty machine" is another question. Certainly, education is not a vital requisite, as a glance through the public he invites criticism, and must not be offended ii ne gets it. In the first account "An Engineer" submits are shoes, $9.25; assessment on insurance, Slb.io; broken glass, 1.4U; doctor, $3.90; hay for that cow, H3Q; dry goods and clothing, $8.55. This amounts to $44.15. Now in all fairness An Engineer" cannot say that this stntemont is a fair sample of his monthly expenditure, or that the above items occur every month. This waa what Ib called "a heavy month, and is therefore exceptional. The most contemptible item in the bill is the one lor "a new bat for wife, $1.25." If any woman on God's footstool deserves a nice stylish hat or dress (if at all procurable) it iB the wife ot a working man. ll tnere are cnua ren in the family, Bbe is too often a drudge. From early morning to late at night her work is incessant. A man has his regular hours for labor, but there are nono for the wife. She is the gin-horse ot the household, and deserves every kindness nnd encouragement, and a $1.25 hat my wife feels certain would fail to provoke either the envy or the admira tion of her lady friends. I have some hope of a man when he cuts his garment according to his cloth, and that "An Engineer" has done this the statement submitted last week's shows. His grocery bill is greatly re duced; the music teacher is fired, and the "dry cow" is heard of no more; still there is a $16.70 for real estate taxes which will not occur ngain for another year. Also $8.00 for insurance, which added to that of last month makes $24.75. He must be a very much in sured man worth a great deal more dead than alive. Church and charity receives 9630.

Now, sir, tho engineer wbo neither smoKes, drinks or swears is a phenomenon rarely, if ever met in a round-house, and I feel proud North Platte has a speci men. "An Engineer" has nothing to fear it he keeps his health and avoids accidents. In a day or two he will be able to visit tho bank, but let him at all times keep an eye on the cents, for they make the dollars, and are the little mice that nibble at one's income. He will com out ahead, and may yet have "the glori ous privilege of being independent." Converted (?) Jews, are not so much needed to tell people how to prepare for death, as some one is required to tell people kow to live economically how to live according to the laws ot their being, and make the best of the circumstances in which they are placed. This life is a reality, and a stern one to such as I. "As a man sows, so shall he reap." Nature waits for no hell to punish the disobedient. Sho is inexorable. Every act has its consequences. A man can not spend $5.C0 a month in cigars and save it, any more than he can Jbrew a bushel of barley and bake the same into bread. Shonld one live beyond his in come the result is ruin. My income is certainly small, and it takes it all, but had I a pay liko "An Engineer" I think I could live and dress well, and save half. I feel sorry if my criticism has offended him. We have threshed the subject pretty well out between us, and I think have illustrated the old adage, that "one half tho world does nrt know how tho other half lives." ' Very truly yours, A Section Hand. SPHCIflLi NOTICES.

As to "style," it is needless to refere further, but it is a well-known fact that the wives of some engineers will scarce recognize the wives of firemen.
