the teachers' meeting.
The lifth mooting of tho county teach
ers' association held at Brndy January
12th, had tho host attendance of any

fully as interesting. The meeting B3

followed by E. A. Johnson and II. C.
Good.
Miss Mae Dblau, of Maxwell, recited

of having too much laud.
Emil Ericeon read a paper on the
Methods of Teaching Geography, show
ing how much could bo brought out by
getting pupils to reason, and getting en
thusiasm aroused. Misa Bortha Thool
ecko recommended Jauo Andrews'
Seven Littlo Sibters for 6econd and
third grade pupils. Miss Hosford spoke
encouragingly of having wall maps con
stantly spread out where practicable
Mr. Wafer was absent, but tho sub

ably discussed by all.
Glo Gifiin recited "Paul Revere's

of teachers and parents.
E. A. Johnson road a paper, How to
Secure Comprehensive Thinking, and
convinced us that wo must secure cor
rect observation to reach this end. The

Q. Z.
THE LEGISLATUKE.
Every Xebratkan is Interested In What
it Ioet.
The coming session of tho legislature
will be especially interesting. After six
years tho republicans aro again iu con
trol of both houses. A United States
Bonator will bo elected aud a host of
other good things should be done. No
matter what your politics, you will want
to read about tho legislature. No mat
ter what paper you read :it other times
you should read the Lincoln State Jour
nal during tho legislature. It is printed
at tho state capital and devotes more
space to legislative doings than all the
other state dailies combined. Tho Jour
nal has jumped away up in tho lead,
haviug tho largest circulation iu Ne
braska. It is spending more money for
news than its competitors. Col. Bixby
is its daily poet. It also has Walt
Mason. Wm. E. Annin, its Washington
correspondent, serves up Washington
stuff as no other correspondent employed
by Nebraska papers has ever done it
Annin knows Nebraska people and Ne
braska politicians liko a book; his letters
are a great feature. Stories are fur
nished by Conau Doyle, Rudyard Kip-
ling,and a host of others who aro regular
contributors to the world's greatest
magazines. Tho Journal's price has
beeu cut to uO cents per mouth, without
Sunday, and Oo cents with Sunday. You
should try it awhile. The Semi-Weekly
Journal is only 81.00 per vear, and . is a

North Platte business men. in
the face of the exaggerated fairy
tales of destitution now in circula
tion in the east in regard to Ne
braska in general, must take hold
of the fact that we are in the
GREATEST IRRIOAISLE DISTRICT IX
THE WORLD, and THAT HV THIS
MEAXS AGRICULTURAL SUCCESS IS
ASSURED HEYOXD THE SHADOW Of A
douht. This must be impressed
upon eastern people in search of
new homes; their good sense will
do the rest.
Being a believer in the idea
that frequently the end will justify
he means. The Trihuxe is of the
opinion that our citizens would be
justified in the effort to give a grand
charity ball, say some time about
the 22d of February. Make it
eclipse anything in the terpsi
chorean line that has ever been at
tempted in North Platte. By this
means many a dollar difficult of
extraction from purses, where oth
erwise the contents might be
squandered, would be secured for
this greatest of christian graces
charity. Now don't let us hear any
objection that this date would
come right in Lent. You all
doubtless remember the concession
made by the pope during the preva-
ence of the grippe epidemic, and
we believe that fine old gentleman
when made cognizant of the situa
tion in western Nebraska would
rrant a similar absolution. Do we
not find many instances in- Holy
Writ where dancing was indulged
in for a less worthy purpose than
he one to be attained. We believe
hat we can safely say that SI. 00
can be secured from every- employe
upon the pay-rolls of the Union Pa
cific R'y in North Platte. As to
our business men, if they do not
succeed in collecting a solid silver
dollar from every traveling man or
agent entering the city, the-should
withhold their orders. As North
Platte is noted for being a city of
civic societies, let a number of
tickets be placed in the hands of
each society and let them prove
their fraternity and true christian
charity by disposing of them. Let
an appropriate prize be offered to
the society proportionately to the
membership which it had on Jan'y
lst, 1895, as certified to by its pre
siding officer and secretary which
succeeds in selling the most tick
ets. Let a prize be offered to the
individual who succeeds iu dispos
ing of the greatest number. If all
take hold of the matter this can be
made the grandest affair in the his- I
tory of western Nebraska grand
in its magnitude, and grand in its
commendable purpose. The mayor
in his official capacity should at
once call a meeting and appoint
proper committees of representa
tive citizens to take the matter in
hand and work it up to a success
ful termination. The Tribuxe
stands ready to do its share in the '
way of printing, publishing and
promoting the object, and it be
lieves that its views will be
heartily coincided with by the press
of the citv, i

THE IMMIGRATION ASSOCIATION.
Considerable interest is being
manifested in the Lincoln County
Immigration Association. Unques
tionably this is the best opportunity
North Platte has ever had to do
some needed and systematic adver
tising, which is absolutely neces
sary to obtain the benefits of our
numerous irrigation enterprises.
Those who own the lands have
about exhausted their funds iu
building the ditches. If people can
be induced to come here who hsve
money to buy some of these lauds
and improve them, it will enable
the owners to immediately improve
the rest. Without something of
this kind they cannot do anything
in this direction for several years.
During the last show season Col.
Cody distributed advertising mat
ter furnished by Sheridan, Wyo.
Even with a stationary stand at
Brooklyn, the results far exceeded
the expectations of those people
and a large amount of capital was
attracted. They are preparing to
go into this on a much larger scale
during the coming season, if Mr.
Cody can be induced to repeat his
generous offer. We have the inside
track for the present. The advan
tages are much greater this season,
as the show will traverse all of the
eastern states, and our matter be
placed in the hands of a farming
community.
The amount necessary to start
this movement is estimated atSSOO,
of which sum the various ditch com
panies will raise, perhaps, over one
half, although some of them hare
no lauds for sale as companies.

a guest of Col. Cody for a number

kindly- works in regard to our town
in the N. Y. Herald of the 7th inst.
He says that so far as he himself
is concerned he can personally
testify that the town of North
Platte sets in the bosom of pros
perity and that the people in this
vicinity enjoy plenty. He adds:
"The Union Pacific railway shops
pay out $30,000 monthly to em
ployes; nearly every family in the
town owns a home, and the farms
in the region roundabout are well
irrigated from the North Platte
river. Capital has just been sub
scribed for a beet sugar factory in
the town, and many land owners
are preparing to go into the beet
growing industry. Lincoln county
has the strongest soil of any county
in the state for beet growing, or in
all the west, for that matter, and
two new railroads are now pushing
toward it in appreciation of its
agricultural resources. Whatever
may be said of the result of short
crops in other sections of the state,
it cannot be said that North Platte
is languishing or that any.body in
time for North Platte to show her
hand.
A map of the irrigated districts
surrounding the town will be got
ten out, printed on the back of a
folder descriptive of our advantages.
The illustrated book will be a work

character. Tiie engravings will
cost over $300. An edition of the
books will probably be printed in
German.
It must be known atonce whether
we can take advantage of our most
liberal and generous offers, both in
printing and distribution. A sys
tematic canvass will be made for
the memberships, names, and the
fee of one dollar, together with
liberal subscriptions for the books.
The cash is not required at the
present time, but those in charge
of the work desire to know if the
necessary- interest will be taken by
our citizens, in order that they may
go ahead.
Next Sunday morning Rev. L.
