Choice Crysanthemums at Third Street Green-house': Fred Thompson is having a commodious barn .erected on his premises on Front street. David Hunter, of Sutherland, came to town yesterday on business connected with the Paxton & Suth erland canal. Snow or rain fell both east and . west of this point on Saturday and Sunday. Our turn to receive mois ture will come next. It is not likely Miss Nellie Donahue will return from Cleveland to teach out the remainder of the present term of school. Tickets for the Engineer's May Party were placed on sale )Tester day. This will be the great dance of the year and those who fail to attend will miss a treat. Buy your potted plants at Fred Marti's. Large stock of healthy plants now on hand and new in voices received each week. Quite a number of jokes were perpetrated yesterday on those who had momentarily forgotten that it was April 1st. The fellows who suffered most were the bill collec tors. Dr. Butt, who will open an office in McDonald's block, does first-class dentistry . , in all its branches. Information is wanted of the whereabouts of Harry Reed, who left his home March 14th. Any in formation concerning him will be thankfully received by Charles F. Reed, Laramie, TVyo.

Charley will be with the show this season. Mrs. Trego will leave for the Quaker city Thursday morning next E. "W. Murphy, living west of town, will sow 300 acres of wheat and plant an equal acreage of corn on his farm in Logan county this season. Mr. M. proposes to make money farming or go "broke" in his efforts. . Both the Patterson & Alex ander and the Hinman-grading out fits are at work on the Farmers and Merchants' ditch. The former will complete their contract in about ten days, ' and tlje latter shortly thereafter. As was anticipated, the cit election to-day is passing off very quietly, and as there is but one ticket in the field, the vote will probably be much lighter than usual.- Those j who are opposed to the ticket will probably not go near the polls. Doc. Middleton. who is more or less known in Korth Platte, has started east in company witn sev eral capitalists with whom he will complete amusements for a Wild West Show. Doc says his show will eclipse Buffalo Bill's, but then Doc is a very imaginative fellow and is guilty of talking through his sad rear. 5 lrnga- r-Dr. F. J. Morrill has purchased a very handsome cornet, a Slater instrument. On account of the high wind last Sunday, the proposed bicycle trip to Kearney was not made. The run will be made, however, in the near future. Will H. Day. of the McPherson County News, called at this office of while in town yesterday. He wil run a grocery store in connection with his office, and was here for the purpose of receiving1 his stock of goods. Don't forget fhat-a.new dentis will open an office in.

Mr. VanNatta is now in Jamaica, West Indies, where he is the engineer in charge of some railroad and tion works in that island. J. Q. Wilcox, of McPherson county, expects to open a grocery store in this city within the next month. The grocery business is already overcrowded in North Platte, but we presume Mr. Wilcox lias canvassed the situation and concluded that he can secure reasonable share of patronage.

All books retained longer, the holder will be charged five cents per day for each day they are retained. This is done in order that a new catalogue may be made. By order of the Library Committe.

In March, 1882, we had only .04 of an inch of rainfall, yet the rec ords at the weather bureau office show that the following months had plenty precipitation, viz: April had 1.94, May 3.98, June 4.84, July 2.65, and August 1.68 inches. As March, 1895, comes next in the least precipitation in 21 years, having only had .09 of an inch, we can ex pect a repetition of the good rains ot 1882. E. A. Garlicks, of Cheyenne, has been in town for several days i tor tne purpose or seeing it some church society would join him in producing the operetta -of "The Three Bears." We did not learn what success has attended his efforts. Since the above was put in type we learn that the operetta will be produced the latter part of May under the auspices of the la dies' guild of the Episcopal church. Cody & Salisbury with their new .aggregation will open the sea son at Philadelphia on the 26th inst., where ;they will "make a two weeks' stand. The show will then make a tour of the Middle and New England states, making 160 stands in the larger cities and towns, after which a southern circuit will be made, ending at Atlanta, Georgia, where the show will remain until the close of the exposition to be held iu that city. In speaking of the death of A. E. Reynolds, the Westville, (Irid.) In dicator says: Anderson Reynolds was taken sick Friday with bowel trouble and grew steadily worse until Sunday, when his condition became so alarming that it was decided to resort to an operation as a last hope. This was successfully accomplished but peritonitus was discovered and it was too late to save the patient. Inflammation had set in and he expired about three o'clock Monday afternoon. There has been more or less controversy among local weather prophets as to whether the present new moon is a "wet" or "dry" one. Some insist that it is dry, because it will hold water and therefore verT little will be spilled out to refresh the earth. On the other hand some hold, with the Indian, that if the powder horn can be hung on the point of the moon it might as well be hung there, as it. will be too wet for hunting. The reader takes his choice, and the weather will go ahead and do just as it pleases. Perhaps those who were on the streets Monday evening wondered what crowd of merry young folks passed by in a hay rack about 7:30 o'clock. We state that it was the Senior Class of '95 on their way to the Osgood ranch where the class meeting was held. The usual plan of meeting was car ried out to the fullest extent; then the time for departure having ar rived, they again boarded the hay rack, but with regret-that the time had passed so rapidly, as they were so delightfully entertained by Miss Charlotte Osgood, assisted bv Miss 5 A carload of potatoes from Montana, consigned to the county relief commission, is en route to this point. The lady who will have charge of the millinery department at the Fair Store, came in from Chicago this morning. H. C.

Scharmann, as guardian, received a draft for $1000 in pay ment ot the insurance held by Mrs. F. E. Dopp in the Ladies of the Maccabees. Dr. Butt does crown and bridge work, also metal and vulcanite plates. The county commissioners con vened in session yesterday and are at present considering business connected with the state appropria tion for seed grain. v The audience at the Lutheran church Sunday evening was favored with some fine music rendered by the choir with organ, violin and cornet accompaniment. Isaac Dillon is making prepar ations to extend the Cody & Dillon irrigating ditch from the Scout's Rest Ranch to the land he owns just north of town. He has applied to the city council for a right-of-way. Dr. Butt, dentist, will locate in North Platte about April 15th. Office in McDonald's block. The foreclosure suit of the North Platte...
