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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
