Vie Mhmt. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 1894. 11m Fur store made a very nice die- play for the Easter season in its show window. oersraj nne Dags ot clucks were killed by local nitnrods last Sun the irate this week. It is said the applications for the i eC deputy postmaster under the administration are very nu- serous. A Mr. Brown, a Colorado sheriff, was ia Ike city last week and shipped froaa thai city to Feublo a fine coach Btallion. The sew flags for the signal office have bee received and now observer Piercy is again able to tell ub what the weather will be. Work is progressing rapidly upon D. C. Coagdon's new jesidence.

F."wiM give its members a sociable next Friday night in their hall. Re freshments will be served and a musical aad literary programme rendered. Hugh Hollingswortb, the new secre tary of the Y. M. C. A. comes well recommended as a sincere and earnest christian worker. He has recently been employed in the county clerk's office. ltisstatea mat uueen jjii was a passenger on No. 2 yestordjiy morning. The probabilities are that it was fome big saddle-colored wench whose home was in Portland, Ore., that passed through our city. D. Webster Baker's clothes line yes terday bore evidences of his skill as a mighty hunter. Four huge Canada geese were on exhibition during the day light hours. It is safe to Bay they were not left out after night-fall. The local division of the A. O. H. is making preparations for observing the anniversary of its existence on April 23d. By a singular coincidence -this date is the same as that of the prince of Eng lish poets, Wm. Shakespeare. Chas. A. Gardner, the inimitable German comedian, has written Manager Lloyd for a date about April 25th. He is a fine vocalist, a great laugh-maker, and carries a strong company. He was here about ten years ago and gave excel lent satisfaction. A local insurance agent was asked by a broncho buster of the Wild West show to write him an accident insurance policy. The agent could not see his way clear, to doing so, as he considered a man whe had sufficient temerity to mount the hurricane deck of a broncho to be practicing an equally dangerous employ ment as that of a powder mill employee. If you are going to buy a bicycle, why don't you buy . the -best? Call at Evans Book store and look at the 1894 pattern of Columbias. C. M. Newtok, Agent. The special bridge election for Eureka precinct was held last Saturday as per published notice and the vote canvassed by Clerk Burritt and a duly constituted board. The result showed 95 ballots in favor -of the proposition and none against the same. There were 31 votes cast at the north polling place and 61 at the south side polling place. At the weekly meeting of Company E., Second regiment, last Monday night promotions were made and the men assigned to positions as follows: First sergeant, David Scott; quartermaster sergeant, A. F. Hammond; second ser geant, F.J. Grau; third sergeant, W. R Morgan; fourth sergeant, Robt. Mason; fifth sergeant, Alex. Stewart; first cor poral, J. M. Austin; second corporal, W. R. Rannie; third corporal, Thos. Cart wright; fourth corpora, Colonel Owens. E. F. Rideout left this morning for New York City to attend a na tional ssseting of the secretaries of the Y.M.C. A. After the adjournment of the assemblage he will return to his new field of labor at Columbus, Ind. His wife goes to Hastings for a brief visit, after which herself and mother-in-law will proceed to the Hoosier Btate, when Mr. R. has prepared a home for them. A large majority of North Platte peo ple will be sorry to see this gentleman leave our midst. The annual meeting of the Episco pal parish was held at the church Mon day evening when the several reports for the year were read. There are 101 communicants in the parish, and there port of the financial condition proved to be very satisfactory. The members of vestry were re-elected, with the excep tion of Major Walker, to whose place B. C Clinton was elected. It was voted to erect a mission chapel in the Third ward on the block south of the school house, and work on the building will soon be gin. The Easter offering at the church Sunday amounted to $150. By reference to the published call elsewhere ia these columns it will be seen that the officers of the Lincoln county agricultural society are getting a move upon themselves. The Tribune believes that it would be a good plan for the management to arrange for a mid summer racing meeting to be held about July 4th', in connection with a monster celebration. This could be made a very interesting exhibition, and a profitable one to the society. In addition this would have a tendency to have our horse sms. gat their animals in fine shape for faod races wuk'tm, . r The freight receipts at the station here are on the increase which bespeaks a revival of businei Mrs. H. C. Rennie has been sick for a number of days with very threatening symptoms of pneumonia. A portion of M. C. Keith's stables will be represented at the June race meeting of the Overlamd Park Club, Denver. I have a second-hand Victor Bicycl in excellent condition, almost aa good as new which I will sell for $75 cash or 185 monthly payments. C. M. Newton. several j&ngnsb people arrived in this city last Friday night direct from Southampton, England. They expect to make their future home here. nm -m at , - . j.ne Jieinoaist bunday school is steadily growing. Eeaster Sunday there was an attendance of 202, the largest since the organization of the school. a 1 xt m -mm- . - a roomer or ja. a. undennan ar rived here the latter part of last week from Solomon, Kan., and will assist his brother Martin in the transportation business. Manager Lloyd is making prepare tions to ceil his opera house with asbestos or fire-proof sheathing. This will be of considerable benefit as a preventative of fire. A sociable will be given by the Luth eran church ladies at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Hendy to-morrow night, March 29th. All are cordially invited to attend. Straigat tobacco filler is used in all of Schmalzried's cigars. Little Habana, Red Light, Pastime, Crown and LaRosa are his leading brands. See that you smoke them. The misfit congressman of the big Sixth district is now remembering the populist portioa of his constituency by sending out his biennial amount of gar den seeds. -A special pension agont has been in our city for some days looking up mat ters in his department of the federal government. It is said his visit is mak ing quite a stir with interested persons. -A Pacific express company's travel ing auditor was in the city last erening checking up the books and accounts in charge of J. P. McGovern. It is need less to say that he found the business as straight as a string. -It is said that T. D. Cotton will again move to this city and occupy his property on West Third street. It may bo that nis son-in-iaw, mr. naziett will accom pany him hore and make North Platte his future home. -It is said that the new management of the Pacific hotels contemplate putting in bars for the Bale of liquors at the various hostelries. Probably another move will be the pulling off of the dining car sorvico of the through trains. C. C. Callahan, erstwhile of the Sid ney Telegraph, but at present publish ing a paper in Hot Springs, S. D., was in North Platte las!; Saturday. It is in the possibilities that he may re-enlist in the newspaper work in western Nebraska. Rev. Graves, the new Baptist preacher, and his family, are expected to arrive in our city this week and take up their residence on West Third street, opposite G. W. Dillard's. It is expected that services will be held in the church next Sunday. Evangelist Cox and wife la6t night began a series of revival meetings at the M. E. church. These people have made a great success in other fields of labor, and doubtless they will be able to arouse a great interest in religious matters in thiB city. The board of county commissioners have adjourned after putting in con siderable time on the delinquent personal tax list from 1885 until the present year. It is probable that an extra effort in the event of there being a good crop this year will be made to collect all possible outstanding taxos. At the meeting Saturday night of the members of the Mutual Building and Loan Association the old board of directors were re-elected, with the addi tion of C. F. Iddinjs, vice M. T. Tobin, deceased. This is quite a compliment to the gentleman elected. Some "hobos" had trouble with a B. and M. Brakeman over their passage on freight train. Last Saturday night C. S. CLINTON, JEWELER. CHION PACIFIC WATCH INSPECTOR." they caught sight of their victim in Grand Island and catching him beat out his brains with a coupling pin. The villians succeeded in making their escape. Cannan, Rannie & Co. make a speci alty of repairing gasoline stoves. When the average skeptic learns of a profe3sed christian being caught in his neighbor's cellar loaded with canned fruit, in which he has no ownership, his faith in the ability of the christian religion to make a good man out ef a rascal receives rather a severe shook. The fair and dance given by the ladies of St. Patrick's church on Monday evening was largely attended and well natronized. An excellent supper was served, in fact many said that its com pleteness would entitle it to be called a banquet. Numerous articles of fancy work were offered for sale, and a pleas ant time is reported by those in attendance. At the sale in Omaha last week of thoroughbred horses, John Keith in vested in four promising youngsters from a Lexington, Ky., stable, aad M. W. Clair purchased a three-year-old stand ard bred filly of great promise. The horses were genoially sold so low that those who were not compelled to did not as a rule offer their stock for sale, but on the other hand became purchasers. Owing to the absence cf the paBtor, no special or elaborate Easter service was prepared at the Methodist church last Sunday. Chancellor Crook ot the Nebraska Wesleyan University filled the pulpit morning and evening, and those who failed to hear him missed a rare spiritual feast and intellectual treat. His theme for the morning was "The Resurrection" and for an hour and more he held the congregation's rapt at tention with his rich thought and elo oquence. The evening service was de voted to the presentation of the inter ests of the Nebraska Wesleyaa Univer sity, and what Methodism is doing along the line of higher education for the heart and intellect. The discourse was masterly and convincing. The chancel lor's visit among ub will be remembered as one of the bright spots is our church history, and he will be greeted with an overflowing house when next he comes. Last week D. B. WeJpton, general ammt for the Roval Insurance Co was in this city and filed an information charging Sidney Sspp with the embez zlement of 184.00 while acting as agent for the company at Wallace. Sheriff Miller went to Lincoln and obtained requisition papers from Gov. Crounse and started for Oklahoma territory. He found and arrested bis man at Perry in that territory. Since migrating to the land of the cowboy and cactus Sidney has changed his political habit, is now fullfledged calamityite, and according to the nress renorts was secretary of the local sans cullotte. Sunday morning an attorney here received a letter of inquiry from him as to what it would cost to fix it up. This gentleman frankly said that Mr. Welnton was in no mood for com promising, as the practice was becoming toe common with many agents. Sheriff Miller also had requisition papers for Otto Richter. late of thiB city, for ob taining a signature to a note through fraudulent representations, wherein F. M. Heck was the complaining witness. The sheriff expected to find this indivi dual at Woodward, Oklahoma. -The construction of the Paxton & Hershey irrigating ditch which will tap the North Platte river in town 14, range 33, and run east ten miies through the 6500 acres ot land owned by that firm, is now an assured fact. The survey has been completed for some time, and last Monday an Omaha contractor, who came up with Mr. Paxton, made a tour of the line and submitted a bid for the con struction of the ditch, and "the contract is probably awarded by this lime, as the bid was satisfactory to the interested parties. It is stipulated that the ditch be completed in fifty-one working days, which would bring the date of comple tion June lBt. We have not been in formed as to the exact width and depth of the ditch, but it will be sufficiently large to irrigate the Paxton & Hershey lands as well as hundreds of acres ad- . . . .

Construction of the P. & H. canal will begin the early part of next week. C. M. Newton has just' received one of the 1894 pattern Columbia Bicycles. t is, without a doubt, the neatest bi cycle we have seen yet. He has the agency and the price this year is $125.00. The several churches of this city were very handsomely and appropriately decorated last Sunday for the Easter services, xae unurcn or uur rsaviour besides a largo display of lillies and' potted plants had a great amount of cut flowers as a result of a subscription by the members. The services by the rector were very fitting for the day and occa sion, and the choir pleasingly rendered Borne choice anthems. The Presbyterian church was decked in a similar manner and the pastor's words during the morn ing service were peculiarly pertinent The evening service at this house of worship consisted of responsive readings and recitations by members of the Sun day school. The Lutheran church mom- ben appeared to be imbued with a spirit of friendly rivalry as to who could most materially assist in the decoration of their church. Rev. Foulk made an inter esting address at the morning service and the evening service was similar to that of the Presbyterians. At St Pat rick's church the display of flowers was remarkably fiae, the remarks of Rev. OToole struck a responsive chord .in the hearts of his congregation, and the rendition of Leonard's mass by the choir was well received by the audience assem bled. The municipal election will be hold on Tuesday next, and there promises to be' considerable friendly rivalry between the candidates for clerk and for the office of treasurer. For the former C. F. Scharmann and H. C. Neebitt are candi dates, and while both are capable young men, The Tribune has a "hunch" that Mr. Scharmann will win. He was the almost unanimous choice of the citizens' meeting held several weeks ago and must necessarily have a strong follow ing. In the contest for treasurer John Sorenson and Charley Adam6 will make a pretty race, but it is generally conceded that Sorensoa will come down the quar ter stretch at a rapid gait and pass under the wire several feet ahead of his ap ponent. For mayor Victor VonGoetz has no opposition, and it is well, for the people generally want him to be their chief executive, and it would be a cour ageous man who might consent to oppose him in the race. For city engineer Paul Meyer has a clear field, Clint Patterson refusing to be a candidate. For mem bers ef the school board the tickets will bear the names of Meedsniee J. D. Bfrge and A. E. Longley, and William Henry Harrison Fikes. In this contest some one will be left, as there are but two members to be elected. The ladies are up for re-election and having served the people faithfully and well, will probably receive a big vote; in fact Mr. Fikes and his friends will have to do some tall rustling in order to defeat either of the fair candidates. In the First ward Alex Stewart and Charley Monagan will con test for the honor of representing that section in the city council. The follow ers of both candidates are certain of victory and the result will be very close it may result in a tie, as was the case last spring with Hendy and Herrod. In the Second ward C. F. Iddings has a clear field, but in the Third Dave Scott and C. B. Jordan will test their popular ity. It is pretty generally conceded that David, like his namesake of old, will slay his political Goliah. SEEDS! SEEDS! This will be a red letter year for the farmers. Plenty of rain! Big crops! The finest Ime of field, garden, tree aad flower seeds ever brovgbt to town bow ob saw at Harrington & Tobin's, Odd Fellow baikUng. Satberlaad Searched. The village of Sutherland, some nine teen miles west of this city, experienced. a very destructive fire at an early hour this morning. At this writing it was impossible to get the complete details of the conflagration. As near as can be ascertained, from trainmen and other. sources of information, four storebuild ingsand a hotel were consumed, and three stocks of goods. The losses were apportioned about as follows: Fred Dachtler's loss will be his stock of merchandise and building. It was impossible to learn the amount of his aggregate losses. The Streitz drug store and stock was entirely destroyed. The latter was valued at about $1,300, with an insur; ance of something like fifty per cent. - Geo. White's general store, containing the postoffice, was also burned. It is said that he was carrying something like a $3,000 stock, and had a fair amount of insurance. , A vacant building recently occupied; by a hardware firm was destroyed by the flames. A building used as a hotel and owned by John Coker was the.next food for the flames. We have not definitely learned the. origin of the fire, but it is said that it was first discovered in Dachtler's store. It is stated that the loss will approxi mate $10,000, of which only a small portion is covered by insurance. f C. R. &. CO. Don't your pump work? Do you want waterworks supplies?

Quite a number of the school children have been kept at home because of an inflammation of the parotid glands or mumps.

Mr. Dar ling is a horse-shoer by trade and he ex pects to get better wages in Portland. I was informed yesterday that a sub scription was being taken for the pur pose of building a church on one of Dr. Dick's vacant lots in the block south of the schoolhouse. It is a splendid loca tion for a church, and even if I have been misinformed it is only a question of time until we get a building of that kind. Three hunters and trappers who have been following their vocation near this city for the past six weeke, and who are at present camped in a tent some eight miles northwest, were in town yesterdr.y with half a wagon load of game. Each man is the owner of a $125 Parker ham merless shotgun. They are workine un North Platte river and expect to reach Montana before next winter. A number of the neighbors of Mrs. Jas. Snyder thought that yesterday was her birthday anniversary and they got up a surprise party. About twenty gathered at her house in the afternoon, and upon presenting her with a dress for a birth day present they learned thai they were just one month too soon, April 27th being the correct date. This was the starter for a good time, and it soon became too warm for Mr. Snyder, the only man pres ent, and was forced to seek shelter elsewhere. Agricultural Society Meeting:. The officers and directors of the Lin coln county agricultural society are earnestly requested to meet at the office of the president, B. I. Hinman, on Fri day afternoon, March 30th, at 2 o'clock, as business of importance will come be fore the meeting for discussion and action. B. I. Hcjmajt, President. I. A. Fort, Sec'y. Views of Mr. Belton. Editor Tribune: Your remarks In ast week's issue are very fair and just, but you have been misinformed in some points. The cost of the jail wbb 87,700, the iron cells costing the balance of the $10,000, and are ornaments not needed in a High school building. I am reliably informed the $60,000 Kearney bonds built three school houses, the High school costing $35,000. It is built of pressed brick and has slate roof. Such gorgeous building in North Platto would make us look like a Haytian major general with cocked hat and daz zling epaulets barefooted. What the district wants is a good sub stantial building, the building to show its character, sufficiently roomy for many years to come, built out of North Platte made brick, tin roof, and heated with steam . Give North Platte mechan ics the preference so that the mcney will be kept at home, and be a benefit to our people, instead of being sent abroad. Mr. Walker, who is a practical builder, studied over the matter and came .to the conclusion that $20,000 and the "material in the old school house would erect just the building required. So he got up a petition to the Board of Education re questing them to call an election to vote on that amount of bonds. He has spent considerable time circulating it and has tho required number of signers, which will be presented to the Board of Educa tion at the next meeting, and there is no doubt but the board will act promptly. There are several reasons that the house be built this year: We need it badly; the banks are loaded down with money seeking investment, consequently the bonds would bring a good premium; all building material is cheap owing to the depressed times, and it would give employment to our mechanics and labor ing men. and would have a good effect upon our city generally. If any persons are not satisfied with Mr. Walker's petition they are at liberty to get up a petition to suit themselves and present it to the Board of Educa tion and the board can Belect which petition to call the election upon. There is no time now for conference with the school board, for if there is any unneces sary delay the school house cannot be built this year. James BeTaTok. Card of Thaakr.
