It is 2'J1 mile fiom the first named city, 2i miles from the f-econd, and 280 miles from the third. Having a population of 4,000 people it is the head quarters of both freight and pasen;er divisions of the V. P. K'y Co., and is the home of about TOO railway employes whose monthly pay roll amounts to some $ 35,000.00. Almost 200 miles of irrigation oanals are rapidly nearing completion, which will bring into the highest 6tate of cultivation 150,000 acres of the mo-t productive land upon which tho sun's rays f-hine. The citizenship of North Platte 1 that of the best afforded by the older state-", and her people are active, progressive ami prosperous. To the industrious, energetic home-seeker from the crowded east North Platte and Lincoln county preenN uuiisua advantages. Thousands of acres or vacant govornmeut land, in cloo proximity to tho-o already being brought under irrigation, may be obtained by consulting the United States laud office in North Platte. A letter of inquiry to "U. . Register, North Platte, Neb.,"' relative to the above will be courteously answered. Irrigated f.-inuitif; is no longer an experiment, but lias reached the point where it is acknowledged a pre-eminently tho Fafest in all seasons method of conducting agricultural and horticultural oikt- ations. The salubrious and life-giving climate of Lincoln county, where malaria is unknown mid wher pulmonary troubles aro unthought of, is another incentive to the location therein of tho-o who :m anxious to enjoy tho good things of this life as long a. jo-sible. North Platte churches and fciicols nrenliove those of eastern conimuui ties, tin- bitter being ono of tho few in Nebraska permitting the graduato thereof to enter tho Statu I"uiTt4ty without an intermediate preparatory Irainiug. The people of the community gladly welcome the honest, industrious eastern citizen who i eager to betterhis condition and assisting in the upbuilding and development of a comparatively new country.

Oxi: of the first good acts which senator-elect John M. Thurston should attempt after he first peers over the tops of his glasses at the American house of lords, is to move the adoption of a statute making- it a felony for eastern journalists to publish hobgoblin stories of the destitution in Nebraska. There is more actual suffering- and destitu tion to-da- among- the miners of portion'; of Ohio, than there the whole of Nebraska. is in The new president of France, M. Casimir-Perier, who was recently elected for a term of seven rears at an annual salan-of $240,000, has re signed his official position. There are thousands of populist states men in America, who are wont to refer with pride to the silvery con edition of France, who would be willing-, yea. anxious to make martyrs of themselves for one hundredth part of this salan Gov. IIolcomi: has made a care ful examination of State Treasurer Hartley's books, at the request of the latter, and expressed surprise at the excellent condition of the ac counts and of the treasury. The demogogic alarmists who have re ported that corruption was visible in big- chunks in the state treasury department, will now, or at least should, draw in their horns and acknowledg-e that they were simpiy circulathur lies. political fallacies which have been industriously exploited throughout the state since the drouth of 1890, is impossible. It is to be deplored that a great main of our citizens, otherwise sensible upon most sub jects, have formed the erroneous opinion that it is the fundamental principle of government todoevery-thing- for the individual, without hrst g-ivmg- the individual tlie op portunity, yea impressing' upon him the absolute necessity of first doing- for himself. That it is a high type of government's functions to minister to the wants of her citizens is true.and no one can have a livelier appreciation of the state's duties than the writer; yet he also realizes the fact that in a republic. where tlie people tnemselvcs are the so.ereign government, it is the iirst patriotic duty of the citizen to try and do what he can as an indi vidual. This is the acme of liberty ana snouia oe instuiea into every citizen of the United States. It may be well enoug-h in a monarchy. where the line of demarcation b Lweeu tne ricn ana poor is so strongly drawn that the individual in the lower strata of society has not an equal show for self-aggran dizement with one of the aristocratic class, and the latter is not bearin his just share of the burdens of the humble poor, then is it time for government to intercede and assist in the relief of those in need by compelling those in favored circum stances to aid those more unfortun ate. e believe that our present legislature would have adopted some such measure, which would have provided the temporary relief needed; yet with the composite population with which the state is filled, many of whom have imbibed the fallacious idea that it is govern ment's first duty' to provide succor for the citizen without any attempt upon ins part to ameliorate Jus condition, it is doubtful whether our lawmakers will provide any thing more satisfactory than a per functory measure which will not be of much utility. Educate the masses up to the homely old adage of root hog or die," and a republican form of government will be much abler to stand the burden of taking care of its unfortunate citizens. Troviclcs For the Continuous Issue of 5100, COO.000 or Treasury Note to Ho Re deemable I:i Coin Sherman Has a Scheme House rroeeciinri. "Washington, .Tim. 17. Mr. Pugh (Dem., Ala.) secured recognition soon after tho senate met today to present what he regarded as a solution of the present lack of government revenue. The senator varied from the usual cus tom of introducing a bill by reading tho full text of his measure with great de liberation and then commenting on it. The bill provides for tho immediate issuo of 100,000.000 of treasury notes to meet- deficiencies, these notes to be redeem able in coin and to be constantly- reis sued. It fnrtiier directed the coinage of the seigniorage and the deposit of silver bullion from Americau nune. Mr. Hill (N. Y. asked if tho senator wished the immediate passage of this bill. 'That question." said Mr. Chicago i nothing if not novel. In a justice court there one day this week a Chinese oath accom panied by tlie decapitation of a chicken was permitted. In an English speaking- court nothing but the usual form of oath should be administered. If the heathen celes tials do not have sufficient respect for the sanctity of an American oath inflict a few severe penalties upon those convicted of perjury, and will be found to be the most satisfactory educational course that could be adopted. C. L). Shrader. the pop states man from Logan county, has been in Lincoln for a week past "jack ing up" Governor Holcomb for being- so dilatory in making appoint ments. The Trikune is not in formed as to what position Shrader is after, but it knows he is an ap plicant for some oflice-at least there has not been a time in the last ten year tint he has not sought some political plum. The Governor would confer a lasting favor on western Nebraska by planting his Iortly form on the statesman (?) from Logan. John Mellex Thurston was formally elected United States senator for Nebraska bv the lejris lature on Tuesday, for the term commencing in March, 1S95. In brief, his platform is for the people, protection and bimetallism of the honest sort; favors arbitration and irrigation, and declares himself to be a servant of the people of Ne braska having "no pride of opinion which would stand in the way of giving full consideration to the views, arguments and suggestions of others." So mote it be. It is time for the eastern ami southern press to ring off on their overdrawn fairy tales of destitution in Nebraska. Unfortunately it is true that there are many persons LEGISLATIVE LACONICS. A bill was offered m the Senate Monday regulating life insurance companies. It is modeled after the Massachusetts law, providing for a 2 per cent tax on premiums, mak- ing- tne state auaitor an insurance commissioner, and entering into a regulation of life insurance. It is estimated that the law will bring into the treasury 550,000 annually. In the House there was a slijrht disagreement about referring the stock yards bills. An effort was made to refer all of them to the committee on live stock and grazing. Tlie object was to prevent the bills going to the committee on corpora tions, on which are some of the Omaha members. The bills how ever went to tho committee on cor porations. The great interest in the relief question is shown by numerous petitions presented ask ing the legislature to enact some remedial legislation. The two democrats announced a caucus Monday night on the sena torial question. The populists also went through the hollow mockery of holding a caucus. The following- are the provisions of House roll No. 1 which was pass ed by the lower house on Tuesday with but one dissenting vote. "The bill provides that in such counties where relief is needed special elec tions may be held for the purpose of voting bonds not to exceed 2 per cent of the assessed valuation. A majority of the legal voters votimr at the election will authorize the bonds, which are to be payable in ten years, optional in five, the in terest not to exceed 2 per cent. The proceeds of the bonds is to be ap plied to the purchase of grain for seed and feed. The grain is to be sold to farmers at the actual price to the county, with 7 per cent added for expenses. The purchase is required to sign a contract bind ing himself to pay back the price of his grain in five annual install ments, the contract to remain a lien upon the land until paid." HOW'S THIS!

Mr. Pugh proceeded to urge the grav ity of the present situation. It was such that he was ready to surrender long con-1 Saunders vietions in order to secure a rem edy. "Thus far." said Mr. Pugh, "sen ators have stood here and torn down. It is easy to tear down, but it is hard to build up. We have torn down until wo have nearly tor n down tho country." Mr. Pugh begged that the finance com mittee, in which ho had great confi dence, should do .something at once. He did not believe the senators were a lot of niusco v ito drakes.bowing and stooping stupidly. Mr. Allen (Neb.) interrupted to a-dc the attitude of the administration on this bill. "Mr. Cleveland has sent a message to congress calling attention to thQ present conditions," reipond'vl Mr. Pugh with great earue.stue.ss. xne president ami his secretarv of the treasurv had offered a scheme of currency revision design to meet present evils. If this was not acceptc'l-let both houses propose some thing else. "The president has dis charged Irs duty, now let us discharge ours," proceeded Mr. Pugh. The biil was referred to the finance committee. Mr. Sherman (Rep., O.), as soon :is Mr. Pii:di had closed, rose with another important financial measure. Its read ing received the closest attention from senators on both sides. The Sherman bill provided for the issue and sale of bonds under the provisions of tlie re sumption act from time to time as the deficiencies of the treasury require. The proceeds to bo used wholly for deficien cies ami tho bonds to run five years at not exceeding : per cent interest. Tho second provision provides that in lieu of the foregoing the secretary of the treas ury may issue coin certificatas in denom inations of v-V), $50 ami $100, bearing 3 per cent interest, or-jnit tho certificates in circulation through the treasury or postoffice. The third section deals with the deposit of bonds in national banks. Mr. Sherman's bill was referred without comment to the finance committee. In presenting a report on the pension bill Mr Gallinger took occasion to crit icize the past utterances of Mr. Cleveland as to the frauds existing in the pension system. Ihe senator said pension ex aminers wore roamingaroundtherountry seeking frauds which did not exist. This plan of prying and doing work should be stopped at once. The pension ap propriation bill was taken up and Mr. Palmer (Dem., Ills) an swered the criticism.; made by Mr. (ial- liuger against the pension office. In the House. "Washington, Jan. 17. At the open ing of the session of the house today a bill was passed on .motion of Mr. Hen derson (Rep., Ills.) to grant Mrs. Sarah A. Ciapp the pay and allowances of a surgeon for services as such in the Seventh infantry. The senate amendments to the urgent deficiency bill were disagreed to and the bill sent to conference. Mr. Richardson Dem., Tenn. chair man of the committee on printing, then as a matter of privilege had read a para graph printed in a local paper relating to the incorporation in the printing bill, pased at the last session, of a clause ex tending the franking privilege ro mem bers of congress for correspondence with officials ait'l private individuals of official or departmental business. Thc para graph indicated thac the clau.-o had been incorporated in the bill surrepti tiously. Mr. Richardson read from the record showing tltat the clause had been debated and adopted by a voto of 42 to iO. Th" hou.se then went in.o committee or the wnole tor the iurther considera tion of the Indian appropriation bill. General debate was clovvl and the bill was considered under thi five-min ute rule for amendment. Mr. Caruth (Dm.. Ky.) took o. -ear-ion to supplement his remarks of s-j:::. days ago against the national po-tage movement looking to a reduction of letter postage. He retracted what he had said previous ly conct ruing Lyman .1. Gege of Chica go, who, along with other reputable gen tlemen withdrew from their connection with tlie movement last, October. KERR ASK. I RELIEF HILL rASSED. Only One Dbsentii:- VoU In tlie House. Omaha Charter Bill Introduced. Lincoln, Jan. 17. Neither of the two houses of legislature were in a working frame of mind Wednesdw forenoon. In the house, house roll No. 1 was reported as having been correctly enrolled, and it was placed on it3 final passage and passed with but one dissenting vote. This is Lamborn's bill permitting coun ties to vote bonds for the purchase of seed for farmers in the drouth districts. The secretary of state preferred a re quest for tho appointment of a messen ger for his office. Davis (Cass) made an indignant protest, and his motion to lay the request on the table was carried al most unanimously. In tho senate, beyond the introduction of live bills, nothing was done during the forenoon. One of the bills was tho Omaha charter, introduced by Crane (Douglas1. After the joint convention the senate also adjourned till Thursday afternoon. The stato board of agriculture con vened here Wednesday. Vioe-Presidenl Diumore called the members to order.

Sterling Morton, who read a commu nication to tho secretaries of tho board from Milton Whitney, chief of one of the agricultural divisions in the depart ment, on the subject of irrigation, giv ing the precipitation in various states, together with an analysis of soils and climates. Secretary Morion supple men ted this paper by pertinent and in teresting observations upon the present 6ystem of plowing land.

Challemel Lacour, president of the senate, the pre siding officer of the national assembly, called the senators and members of the chamber of deputies to order at 1 p. m. and the proceedings proper opened at 1:10, when the president read the arti cles of tho constitution which applied to the election of president. Then there was a scene of considerable excitement, deputios from all parts of tho hall speak ing together and demanding to bo heard. For instance, M. Henri Melichin (Revis ionist) asked leave to address tho assem bly. M. do Bandri d'Asson (Monarchist and Revisionist), who as a result of his interruptions, has repeatedly been tho object of rigorous measures upon the part of the chamber of deputies, de manded to bo heard. But M. Challemel Lacour did not grant M. Moilchin's re quest, and believing that M. de Bandri d'Asson was only going to make one of his familiar affirmations of devotion to tho monarchy vn I the papacy the president- refused to hear him. Ht-iilt or the First Rallot. On the other hand M. Ch:Ulemel-Lu- cour ordered that the first- ballot be im mediately taken. This was proceeded with amid considerable excitement in the galleries of the great hall, which were crowded to their utmost with nobilities representing every profession. M. Aveyron la Barthe (Moderate Re publican) was tho first to deposit a ballot in the urn. When the name of M. Leon Mirmau (Radical-Socialist), who is obliged to servo in tho army, although he represented one of the districts of Reims in tho chamber of deputies, was called 111 a low voice, the Socialist-! sprang to their feet and loudly protested against his absence, crying: "Shame." In spite of their protests, however, the roll call was continued. The official declaration of the result of tho first ballot, the revision of the list was as follows: M. Henri Brisson, 8;S; 31. Felix-Fanro, '244; M. Waldeck Rousseau, 184; M. Caviagnaic, ; M. Meline, 1: M. Diipuy, -1; Admiral Ger vaise, 1; Marshal Canrobert, 1; 31. Lonbo, I; 31. Rocheforf, 1; 31. Bour geois, 1: want. 1. Total, ab. Later, however, the following were said to 1k the figures for the three lead ing candidates: 31. Henri Brisson, 311; 31. Felix-Faure, 21 B; 31. Waldeck-Rous-seau. 1 !.". 3Iany of tho members of the national assembly demanded an adjournment, but m. inauemei-.Lacour proposed that- a second ballot le taken. Soon after this it was announced that. 31. Waldeck Rousseau had retired in favor of 31. Felix-Faure. During the balloting, when the namo of Aye, was called, an Allemanist dep utyshoated, "Down with the presidency; let us have a dissolution. Stop voting!" This was regarded as an indication that the Allemanist group, contrary to general expectation, voted against 31. Brisson. While the voting was in progress tho friends of 31. Felix-Faure were actively canvassing for votes and witJi apparent success until a rumor was started that ho was n Protestant. This had a bad effect upon his candidacy, but a deputa tion instantly approached and ques tioned 31. Faure njxm the subject. The latter, wno was greatly oxciteo, retort ed: "No, I am a Catholic." Felix-Fniire Elected. This denial reassured h: supporter. The casting of tho second ballot began at 4:40 p. m. The following was the result of the second ballot- so far as the leading candi dates are concerned: 31. Felix-Faure, 430; 31. Henri Brisson, :(!!. There were violent Socialist protests when tho ro suit was announced. 31. Felix-Faure was born in Paris on Jan. W, 1811. Ho was formally a ship owner of Havre and was president of tho chamber of commerce of that- town. During the Franco-Prussian war he was a chief of the batallion of the Garde 3Iobile, and led from Havre to Paris the volunteers, who asited in putting down tho commune. He was first elected to the chamber of deputies as a Republican in 1S-S1 and at tho time of the forma tion of tho Gambetta cabinet of Nov. 14, 1SS1, ho became under secretary of state in the then now ministry of com merce and the colonies. He relinquished office with tho other members of the cabinet in January, 188'.!, but he was called to fill tho same office on Sept. 21, 1883, in the last cabinet presideded over by 31. Jules Ferry and resigned with tbe rest of the ministry on March 31, 18S-"5. 31. Faure was elected to represent the Seine-Inferieure in the elections of Oct. 4. 188."), and for the third time became under-secretary of state, this time in the Tierard cabinet. In tho elections of Sept. 22, lS8!),hewas elected to represent tho Second district of Harve and in the Dupuy cabinet, which re signed just previous to the resignation of M. Casimir-Perier, he was minister of marine. Bnrn Will Coir.e lta !. Lo:ox, Jan. 17.
