A writer in Sunday's Omaha World Herald charges H. M. Grimes and Judge Nevifie, of this city, as each having con gressional aspirations; the former via a republican convention, tbe lat ter by means of a pop nomination. The same author says a democratic nominee will probably be put in training in this district Judge A. H. Church is recovering from his illness less rapidly than bis friends had hoped, though improvement is noted. He has been able to go out driving for several days past and enjojr the pleasant sunshine.

Mallalieu, superintendent of tbe state industrial school at Kearney, was in the city yesterday organizing his forces for a congressional nomination this fall. Be is an enthusiastic republi can, yet bis republicanism is of that un Eelfisn sort which will cause him to step aside in case he feels that he is not the strongest and most available candidate for the party. Some miscreant broke into Henry Breternitz' chicken coop Monday evening about 8:30 o'clock and stole sixteen fine Jjight Brahma chickens. Whether it gas some pf the advance guard of Coxey'e army or the efforts of local talent iB not known. There is nothing so good for this kind of complaint as a properly administered dose of mustard shot. According to Sidney Sapp politics in Oklahoma must be a queer mess. He was a candidate for city clerk on the pop ticket JuBt a few days prior to election the republican and democratic nominees and himself were severally arrested by sheriffs from various parts of the coun try upon charges of embezzlement. "Verily that territory is not sufficiently civilized tb become a state. Several gentlemen who pride them selves on their ability to raise early irarden 4sat?s'-' have been telling The Tribune durine the past week how they Uare beei overburdened with radishes, lettuce, onions, pie plant, etc., from their hot bedti but their stories cannot be published verbatim in these columns unless accompanied by tangible evidence of their truthfulness,' for instance, a iberal 4!ices3" of the vegetables.

A committee was appointed at the meet ing of the Business Men's Association on Monday nicht to make a canvass and secure this number of students. This is certainly a good move to provide young men wjt a means .acquiring a gooft business education, and The Tribune trusts there maybe no delay in securing tne necessary membership. H. D. Rhea returned from Lincoln Sunday where he appeared before' the supreme court as one of the attorneys in the Miles-Martin election contest case which was carried up from Cheyenne county. W. U.

Greenback Beeler resumed edi torial control of the Wallace Herald last week and J. W. Thomas, who made vain attempts at publishing tbe sheet, will, according to the twinkling Star, enter the ministry. Herejs success to both. John H. Powers, the state alliance lecturer who has been in this county for a week past, finds tbe local alliances in such shape as to call for re-organization and the infusion of new life. Unless Uncle John succeeds in divorcing politics from the alliances which he is reorgan izing in this county tbey will soon again become disorganized. Last week was an unlucky one for several residents of Wallace precinct Grant Cochran amputated two toes by the aid of a shot gun, a young son of John Vanakin was pitched off a broncho and fractured a leg, and a son of Jerry Lawless fell from the roof of a building and dislocated his shoulder. It is better to be born rich than unlucky. A little matter over which our city dads should wrestle before tbe summer nights come is that of making all side walks within the business portion of our citv within the fire limits conform to an'established grade. Their lack of this essential causes many ill-natured re marks by strangers who pedestrianate our streets after night 85,000 to $10,000 m Silks, Velvets and Millinery now being opened at Rennie's. A number of North Platto's noble savages will attend the I. O. R. M. an niversary and ball in Grand Island.

TiiK Tribune doe3 not believe that all democrats aro horse thieves, in fact occasionally one is found who, outside of his erratic political views, is not a bad sort of a fellow. This journal, staunch republican as it is, would not be adverse to having mayor-elect VonGoetz favor ably consider Patrick Honry McEvoy's application for the position of night police. Mac made an efficient officer while on the force, and the salary attach ment wo jld come in mighty handy to him at present. The men '6 meeting at the IV Mi- G? A. on last Sunday sddreeeed by Rev, Cox and Dr. Somers upon the subject oft "Social Purity" was largely attended in spite ofthsblastry weather. The topic wUiwatebythT-meaTcar MnTtrom physical standpoint, wnus me reverend gentleman treated h subjeot from a spiritual view. Much interest Was mani fested by tho audience, and cloee atten tion was paid to tbe remarks of the speakers. Each gave evidence of having given his subject careful study. It is-s-beautiful sight these pleasant mornings to witness the astute Colonel Hijl and the equally esthetic Colonel Walsh at work on their newly acquired real estate possessions in tho west end. The former has seeded a largo patch of ground to the McKinley variety of pro tected products while tho latter, not fearing tho result of tho threatened removal of the tariff on eggs, is engaged iu raising chickens in unlimited numbers. Both gentlemen are equally interested in writing a composite treatiso on "Farm ing for Profit." Elegant new styles in Millinory at Rennie's. Chas. Siouxle, who conducts tbe humorous column in tho Wallace Star, is of tho opinion that a whisky-cure club in North Platte might result in as much good aB would the establishment of a hospital for tho pop habit in Wallace. The election returns laBt fall gave evi dence that mauy Wnllaceites are victims of tbe pop habit and certainly an asylum where the trouble could be successfully treated would would prove a lasting benefit to the county at largo. Here's a nointer for our esteemed democratic friend Dock Lenon; with the request that he investigate. The members of tbe city fire depart ment are discussing the advisability of requesting the appointment of three special fire police from each ward who will serve at a fire. There has been complaints made of the efficiency of tho work of the hremen oy reason oi a ioc oi outsiders who will not render any as sistance to the boys, but are continually getting in their road and interfering with the worn, xue memuere ui iuv several companies aro anxious to have this stopped, hence they are desirous of having appointments made of persons who will keep the curious, out moiner- ent spectators out of the way. The members of the local division of the B. of L. E. aro making arrangements for crivinc their Twelfth annual May party on the 1st nrox. Tq the older rasi- dfints of Tsorth Platte it is unnecessary to sav a word in regard to this affair. other than to simply announce the date. For vears these balls have been a syno- nvm for an evening of pleasure, and this year will be no exception to tho rule. Children accompanied by their parents will be admitted freo of charge. An in teresting musical programmo of about one hour and one-half in length will be iriven before tho ball is opened. This alone promises to be worth tho price of admission. The dance tickets are placed at $1.00, and spectators twenty-five cents. The various committees are hard at work to make tbe affair a huge success, and it will doubtless prove so.

After hearing the greater portion of tho testimony "hizzoner" concluded that it would be well for the prosecutor to file a new information, and try the accused upon a charge of petit larceny, instead of for a felony. This for the reason that the smooth agent had traded insurance for a store account, and the original complaint did net charge him with embezzling anything but money. After deduoting the value of the mer chandise he received tbe amount of his shortage would be below that allowed for grand larceny, thus making the offense a misdemeanor instead of a felony. The prosecuting witness did not care to reduce the complaint, as he said it would be no satisfaction for the com pany, or partjculajr punishment to the criminal, to have'bim' put in jail' for a few daysT and' tbe prosecution was dropped. On Saturday Sapp confessed judgment in favor- of the company for $95 ,00, the amount of his shortage. H. C. Nesbitt has accepted a position as book-keener in the office of John Bratt & Co.

The av erage individual who attempts at this time to break out of tbe regular army should get the full penalty. It is said that if an attempt is made to establish the postoffice next door to a saloon a protest will be made to the postal authorities at Washington that will astonish some people.

Odd recruits for Coxey's army aro striking this- city pretty regularly at present Faint Glim Peter struck fifteen of them in one box car Sunday evening and escorted them out of tbe city limits. A number of our local attorneys are carrying up several cases to the supreme court This would either indicate that they aro good fighters or aro dissatisfied with the conclusions of the lower court, which? Tho frisky "bock" beer made its appearance in the local wet grocories last Saturday, but the gambols of the crafty oaperer were very much restricted by reason of the "jags cured, asd oa aceooat ot tat srevaiant business de pression.

Yesterday marking tho fifteenth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Dalson about thirty old and tried friends gathered at the Dolson residence last evening and in a very fitting man ner assisted the worthy oouple in cele brating the occasion. Tho time was passed in social games until 10:30 when refreshments were served, .after which dancing was enjoyed for a oouple of hours. Several very handsome orystal souvenirs wore presented to Mr. and Mrs. Dolson. The wedding nuptialB of Chas. A 0"Rourke, of Cottonwood precinct, and Miss Anna M. Neary, of Miller precinct, were solemnized at St. Patrick's church at ten o'clock this morning, Rev. OToole officiating. Promptly at the announced hour, the bridal party walked up the aisle, the bride leaning on the arm of her father, the groom supporting the bride's mother, followed by Miss Etta Neary as bridesmaid, and Ed T. Grady as best man. The bride was arrayed in a white satin gown entrain, with bridal veil and carried in her hand a bouquet of bridal roses and looked very hand some. The groom was dressed in the conventional black. TBen in tho pres ence of the hundred people present, the priest pronounced the ceremony which made the twain one. At tbe conclusion of the ceremony the:bridal party in com pany with a number of invited guests partook of a wedding breakfast at the Nebraska House. The contracting parties are well and favorable known' in this city and tbeir'f riends will join us in wishing them a 'long life replete with happiness and prosperity. Mr. and Mrs. O'Rourke wiflL reside on the former's farm in Cotton wood precinct Last nichs about eleven o'olook the fire alarm was squndod and the depart ment nuickly responded. Investigation developed the fact that a small blaze was in progress in the house occupied by John Adams, just west of the residence of W. S. Jreniston. It is said it ongi nated from a lamp explosion. Two streams of water were quickly turned on and the poor, incipient little lire bad no show whatever for its life. Right here we wish to register a good hard kick at the way in which the average volunteer department operates at a fire, and we will not flatter by saying that tbe North Platte department is any exception to rule. In case an alarm is given the first company to arrive generally begins to flood the premises with water before the fire is located. This, too, whether the wind is blowing or not, and when there is no immediate danger of adjacent prop erty. Perhaps this is done, on the thepry that if you can only get enough watering side tho yard you will extinguish the flaaies. ThiB is the roost difficult loss to get an insurance company to adjust If firemen would" only remember that when they find a bed, or a simUar article; of fur niture, in flames )i a residegcetheir first duty is to try and get the article out of doors instead of trying to drown it where it stands. By following this rule, which should be the first instruction impressed upon the young fireman, much injury to tbe building and other property might be avoided. This is brought to the atten tion of .the boys, not for the purpose of finding fault, bat in the hope of impror-. ing the service. Tbe loss at (he above fire was rtight. Hardly had the boys reached their respective hose bouses, with their "apparatus, when a second alarm was sounded. This, time it was a Heap of manure over m the Third ward, which was probably ignited by some joker for the purpose of seeing the boys make a run. SILVER NOVELTIES.

Although preparations for oponing the league base ball season in the larger cities are rapidly progressing, North Pliltto does not appear to be in it to any alarming extent, this season. But one phenom has been discovered the past winter, viz: a "back-stop," and he is auietlv workinc at his vocation as a butcher. Rev. T. K. Ryson, district missionary of the Bantist church, was in this section of the moral vineyard last Sunday look ing after his flock. While here ho baptized fifteen persons, and informs us there are fifteen more to be baptized in May, which will make a membership of eighty-seven in all since tho organization of tho church, October 21st, 1893 Wolb fleet Argus. Insurance rates throughout Ne braska and tho country generally havo been raised about twenty per cent Tbe companies claim this was on account of the number of incendiary fires occurring last year which are common to a busi ness depression. It is doubtful if the exact oriein of all fires beinir civen Buch an increase would be justifiable. In other words whether this has not been made a convenient excuse in order to account for the raise. The following from the .Petersburg, Ind.,- News is self-explanatory: "It is reported here that Robert A. McMurray a resident pf North Platte, Nebraska, is a candidate for marshal of that- town. 'Bob,' as he was called here by all that knew' him, was a resident f near Peters burg for some twenty years, and served during the time as deputy under Byron Brenton, and he made such a popular and efficient officer that he was urged by his friends to allow his name to go 'be fore the convention as a candidate for sheriff, but he refused to do so. 'Bob' is a life long and true republican, and spent time and money in every campaign for the success of his party. He was always a sober, honest and industrious person, ft man of good judgment in making arrests or matters pertaining to the best interests of a town or community, and it is said of him that he never once looked into a dictionary to see what the word fear me.int. He would make a fearless officer in the execution of his duties in the maintenance of tbe law, and were the Pike county republicans allowed a voice in tbe matter they would make his nomination unanimous, for they know his worth," ' ' - Tried and true is the verdict of peo ple who take Hood's Sarsaparilla.

The boiler of tho 821 was run into the machine shop thiB week and will be out in tho course of a fortnight She will be almost an entire new locomotive when she comes out, with nearlv an entire new boiler an:, firebox. So well pleased was J. H. Manning with the circular saw in the carpenter shop that is operated bya water motor, that he instructed the boys to build themselves a boring machine. This will also prove a great labor saver. The 826 is now in the boiler 6hop re ceiving a new firebox and an overhaul ing of her boiler. With all the steam appliances now used upon passenger trains, thus necessitating a great boiler pressure, it is requisite that they be frequently inspected.
