Bj Way of aa Introduotion
The Tribune with this issue in
troduces an innovation in North
Platte newspaper work. For some
time, at the request of many of its
patrons, has this step been contem
plated; and at last yielding to the
solicitations of these friends, to
whom the weekly visits of the paper
have proven a gentle tonic in the
assimilation of life's cares, have
their hopes been realized. In order
to make the semi-weekly edition
attain the excellent standing ac
quired by The Tribune in time
past it is necessary that our friends
extend to the paper all the aid and
encouragement possible both fin
ancial and otherwise. If you know
of an interesting item of news, or
possess an odd dollar with which to
lubricate the machinery, do not hesi
tate to give into the confiding care
of the editor either the one or the
other.
A word in passing to business
men: The semi-weekly edition of
the paper lies before; upon you de
pends mmmch of the future success
Jfchereof. It has been established
as a business enterprise to more
frequently present than heretofore
the manifold advantages of North
Platte and Lincoln county for the
investment of capital. In close con
test for local aggrandizement The
Semi-Weekly Tribune will be a
faithful Joshua who will zealously
fight out your battles, providing you
render the same assistance that was
' given this military man of a former
generation. nThe neat, well printed,
wideawake, newsy publication is the
best index otthe thrift and prosper
ity of a community. TVill you make
this venture such an one by afford
ing it the greatest possible patron
age? With our vast irrigation en
terprises rapidly approximating
completion there are vast possibili
ties in store for North Platte and
Lincoln county, and there is no rea
son why this locality may not be
come the most permanently profit
able community in the state of Ne
braska. The editions of the paper will be
on Tuesday and Friday evenings
of each week; the. rate of subscrip
tion will be 75 cents per annum for
either issue, or S1.25 per year for
both. Now is the time to subscribe,
e
or settle the old score. The gentle
manly collector will .pass around
among its congregation, and to him
you can give your contribution.
Extending toward our friends and
patrons all the usual compliments
of the season, and believing that
the years to come will prove more
prosperous than the one just closed,
we will subside by wishing you, all
a Happy Ne w Yar.
Five hundred thousand apple trees
will be planted" in Nebraska next
spring. The planting of fruit trees
advances the value of the land.
This seems to be a subject the Ne
braska farmer and liorticulturalist
understands. The price of apples is
always high enough to guarantee
profit to the fruit grower, hence, be
sides the enhanced value of his
land, the man who plants an orch
ard does so with the knowledge
that his labor in planting and culti
vating his fruit will brine him a
handsome return. When this great
Mississippi valley is planted in orch
ards then can it be said that it is
the secod Garden of Eden.' It will
prove a'joy to look pon, a -source
of profit to cultivate, and a paradise
to live in. Kansas City Times.

James Hennessey, fireman of steamer
No. 4, struck on the head by a brick when
one of the walls fell about midnight.
The police are unable to account for
sight persons, two mnids and six guests,
who were in the hotel before the fire.
They say that while it is possible that
thes. persons may now be in some hotel,
it is quite probable that their bodies are
hidden in the ruins.
Among those unaccounted for are the
following: Mary and Nora Sullivan,
maids; Bridget Fitzgibbons, servant; n
Italian named Fernando, and two veg
etable cooks. Up to 12 o'clock none of
the missing had been heard from. No
bodies have as yet been recovered from
the' ruins.
That s number of corpses lie beneath
the ruins seems most probable. Chef
Querena Tomagui, who was on the top
floor when the cry of fire was given, foretell-)
a terrible tale of what he saw.
"I was In my TOom,"said he, "when
someone yelled 'fire.' The hall was filled
with dmoke and I found the stairway
blocked with flames. I turned to run
the other way. On the floor of the coi
ridor lay three human beings. Whether
they were men or women, I could not
say. They were.shrieking for help.

DAMAGED STEAM EttS ARRIVING.
Sblapias Havlar a Rough Time With At
lantic Gales.
St. Johns, N. F., Dec. 51. Two
damaged steamers a'rrived here. The
first was the Boston City from London,
Dec. 15, for Halifax. She reports a
fearful experience since leaving port.
The steamship only had a light cargo of
about bOO tons and she rolled terribly
when the seas were heavy. She exper
ienced the worst gale of her pass ago yes
terday forenoon when about 130 miles
from here. Her spare propeller broke
adrift, tore up her deck and crashed
through the starboard side. Then when
sh rolled to port the propeller careened
across the deck and drove through the
port side. The seas rushed in through
these two holes at a fearful rate and it
was feared that the steamship would
sink. But thanks to her steam pumps
the Boston City managed to keep above
water until she made this port.
The other damaged steamer arriving
today was the British steamship Lord
O Neill, Captain Ferris, from Baltimore,
on Dec. 10 for Dublin, which has put in
short of coal. The Lord O'Neill tried to
make this port last week bnt contrary
gales drove her 20(J miles off the coast
and she then tried to continue her voy
age across the Atlantic. She was com
pelled to abandon the attempt on account
of the strong contrary winds which pre
vailed. The Lord O'Neill will ship 250
tons of coal here. Her deck, bulwarks
and stanchions are damaged by the seas,
which constantly .swept her decks, and
her crew was utterly exhausted when
this port was made.
Goescs Had a Close Cail.
Chicago. Dec 31. Sixty persons were
aroused from their beds in the Ohio
apartment house on Wbartou avenue a
little before 2 o'clock this morning by an
alarm of fire. Somf) of them "were able
to make their way to the streets in their
night clothes, bnt 12 were so overcome
by the smoke .that they had to be
dragged from their beds and carried out.
Building and contents were totally de
stroyed. Loss, $50,000.
Spate Storm Swept.
Bilbao, Spain, Dec. bi. A heavy
-gale has prevailed over the southern
pars j)f Spain for the.past two days, in
terrupting telegraphic communication.
On the coast heavy seas have been run
ning and numbers of vessels have - been
seeking shelter in port from the violence

of the police board announosd today tat
he would within a few days send bis tot
ter of rerntiom to Major Strong. M-.
Martin said that now that the Lsxow
eomraittM to iiiroaxh with its work and
s he felt that m was exonerated, he
would reaiga. Hs added that he hoped
Mayor Strong would accept his resigaa-
tkra immediately.
Police Superintendent Byrnee' appear
aace before the Lexow committee, hit
offer to Mayor-elect Strong to resign,
and the accompanying tender of his serr
ices in reorganizing the police force, are
variously received. Rev. Dr. Farkhurst
has intimated that the inquisition, when
Byrnes was upo the stand, was not
made 8ufficieny searching for practical
purposes. Parkhnrst tomsts that Byrnes
is responsible for most of the corruption
exposed by the senate committee, and
he is indignant over the police chieftain's
"pompous vanity and self-glorification,"
as he termed it. Mayor-elect Strong is
said to hold Byrnes ia high estimation
and would be inclined to urge the with
drawal of the superintendent's resigna
tion were it not for his reluctance to an
tagonize the Parkhnrst society.

Coldest Weather Ia Sixty Years.
Jacksonville Fla.. Dec 81. The
mercury went down to 14 degrees above
zero at the signal station in this city just
before sunrise this morning, this record
being one degree colder than the temper
ature of the great freeze of 1866 and the
lowest since 1&15. The orange and veg
etable crops are practically ruined. The
best estimate places - the number of
oranges at present on the trees at fully
2,600,000 boxes and the officials of the
Florida Fruit exchange in this city think
fully 3,000,000 boxes have been frozen
either in whole or in part. If this esti
mate is correct tho remaining 600,000
boxes will bring fabnlous prices. These
reports cannot be verified till tomorrow,
bnt the best iufprjUAnts in fruit matters
say "the jig if up with the oranges of
1893-01. Ice formed on the streets of
Jacksonville and in small places about
the docks.

dead. The dead man was about 50
years of age and was well known in
nearly every raining camp in the west.

Chbtbnkx, Dec 31. Two United
States senators are to be chosen at the
coming session of the legislature, one for
six years to succeed Joseph , M. Carey
and one for four years to fill the vacancy
occasioned br the failure of the legisia
ture two years ago to elect a successor to
Francis E. Warren.
Senator Carey is a candidate for re
election. Ex-Senator Warren is also a
candidate for the long term senatorship.
Both are residents ot Cheyenne. Early
in the contest the remainder of the state
demanded that Cheyenne should decide
between Carey and Warren and that the
ether senator should not be a resident of
that city.
The several candidates concede War
ren's election to the long term and a ma
jority are willing that he should be
elected first,' in order to remove one of
the disturbmg elements from the con
test. Senator Carey has come home
from Washington and is making an ag
gressive personal canvass.
For the short term senatorship, ex-
Congressman Clarence D. Clark will
have the unanimous support of Uintah
and Sweetwater- county delegations.
Hon. J. J. Davis of Carbon county,
Jndge M. C. Brown of Albany and
Judge Jay L. Torrey of Fremont will
have the backing of the respective coun
ties. Seaator Alllsoa Iatervtewed.
Chicago, Dec. 81. Senator Allison
of Iowa arrived here today on his was to
Washington. The senator said that if
anybody had been wishing the Damoci ats
bad luck it could hardly have been hoped
that they would tangle up financial
affairs any worse than they have.
"What about the probability of an
other bond issue?" was asked.
"If imports don't show a material
improvement," replied the senator, "it
will be necessary to issue more bonds
before long to meet the government ex
penses." Nebraska Speakership.
Lincoln, Dec HI. The speakership
situation has assumed a more definite
shape today. Legislature members are
fast solidifying on C. L. Richards of
Hebron. Geddes of Grand Island leads
for clerkship of the house. Tim Sedg
wick is still to the front for secretary of
the senate, but Charley Rigg is a close
second.
Mo Truth la the Report.
New York, Dec. 31. It was learned
from a reliable source that there is no
truth in the report that a meeting of sil
ver producers and smelting men was to
be held in this city early in January.
The recently appointed committee of
three. Messrs. Daniel Guggenheim of the
Guggenheim Smelting company, Guy C.
Barton of the Omaha and Grant Smelt
ing company, and A. R. Meyer of the
Kansas Smelting company, will, meet
here before the 10th of January and de
cide upon the practicability and advisa
bility of selling silver jointly.
Ex-Senator Fair's Will.
San Francisco, Dec. 31 .The chance
for a contest of tho will of the late ex
Senator James G. Fair seems to be in
creasing. Charlie Fair has realized that
the clause depriving of a share in the es
tate any children he may have, is a
slight. He also resents the placing in
the hands of outsiders the management
of the Fair estate. On the latter ground,
it is thought, his sisters, Mrs. Hermann
Oelrichs and Mfcs Virginia Fair, may
join hands with Charlie, although he
has not been on speaking terms with
them for some years.
Breckinridge Lones the Receipts.
Cincinnati. Dec. 31 .The case of W.
C. P. Breckinridge to recover the re

leviedon the recei pts for his services in
taking depositions in the Pollard case a
year ago, wa sustained. It is stated
that Breckinridge 8 receipts have been
small at other points and here he lost all.
Manager Ballenberg claims the receipts
and will replevin them from Meyer.
Seram For the New Diphtheria Cure.
Washington, Dec 31. Five horses
