MINOR MENTION;
The exact amount of the Easter
offering- at the Church of Our Sav
iour was $268.
1m. Westlake, the piano tuner
and regulator, of Denver, will be
here in a few days. Orders may be
left at U. P. Hotel.
J. C. Orr, who purchased the
Minshall property in the west end
of town some time ago, is now hav
ing1 the house remodeled prepara
tory to occupying it.
Messrs. Elliott, Edmonds and
Ridgley go to Maxwell to-morrow
evening to hit themselves against
the crack debaters of that village
on the silver coinage question.
After a somewhat vigorous
fight in which he was opposed by
some of his populist friends, T.
Fulton Gantt has been appointed as
attorney to the receiver of the North
Platte National Bank.
Kopple the crippled Frontier
county pauper who has been con
fined in the jail here for several
weeks past, was examined the first
of the week by the insanity com
mission, and will probably be sent
to the asylum in a few days,
In a few days Dr. Butt will be
fully settled in his office in Mc
Donald's Block, where he will be
pleased to see all who need dental
work. tf
There is sufficient talent in
town for the formation of a musical
union'; and with a little effort such
an organization could be formed.
The union could include both vocal
ists and instrumentalists. Prof.
Garlichs will probably locate here
permanently and could be secured
to instruct the members. Those
interested in the matter should call a
meetimj and at least ascertain the
feeling in regard to the matter.
Such an organization would be of
mutual benefit to the members and
a good thing for the town.
Owing to lack of patronage the
Nebraska house, which for the past
four months has been conducted by
Oberst & Breternitz, was closed to
business Wednesday morning. The
hotel has lost money ever since it
has been under the management of
the above firm, and rather than con
tinue under such conditions until
business improved, it was decided
to close the house. It is a source of
regret that such a step was neces
sary, but it must be apparent that
there have been too many hotels in
town tor the amount of patronage.
The poverty bee given by the
Ladies of the G. A. R. on Wednes
day evening was well attended and
proved highly amusing. A trial
court was organized with Pat Sul
livan as judge and Jake Miller as
sheriff, and any one entering the
room or found peering in the win
dows was promptly arrested and
taken before the judge who imposed
a fine on the prisoner for wearing
good clothes and another fine for
having a hungry look. By the pay
ment of the fine the prisoner was
entitled to a supper of army.rations
corn bread, beans, "coffee, etc:
Mr. Sullivan was m his usual good
humor and some of the sentences
he pronounced convulsed the audi
ence with laughter.
-iOtt Wednesday afternoon last
Rev. Irwin united in marriage Josh
Isaman and Miss May Salisbury,
the ceremony occurring at the
Presbyterian parsonage. In the
evening a reception was tendered
the newly married couple by Mr.
and Mrs. Buchanan. The bride,
who is the daughter of W. N. Salis
bury, has resided in the city two or
three years and is a very estim
able and worthy young lady
and will do a full part in making
her home an ideal one. Mr. Isaman
has charge of Buchanan's abstract
oficeandis a pleasant and ener-
"getic young man.- Mr. and Mrs.
Isaman. are now fitting up the
Ormsby nouse on Third street, and
will be at home to their many
.Tkd.wiihi aiew days.
V. Lucas, M. D.,
Graduate of the Omaha Medical
College.
Office, "City Pharmacy."
Mrs. W. M. Baskin has the fin
est specimen of a lily which has
thus far come under the reportorial
eye this season.
F. L. Meredith, formerly assis
tant principal of the Morth Platte
schools, has started a paper at
Crawford, this state.
Wm. Small wood received a fine
assortment of Easter flowers the
first of the week, from his daughter
Blanche, at Portland,, Ore.
W. H. Price has erected a wind
mill and tank on his premises in
the south part of town and will do
a little farming by irrigation.
H. C. Rennie, who is agent for
the Field bicycle, sold two of them
Monday, one to Ralph Ray
and the other to J. H. Cunningham.
The manner in which entertain
ments have been patronized this
week apparently gives the lie to the
idea that money is scarce in North
Platte.
The Ottman store room is being
repapered preparatory to being oc
cupied by C. M. Newton, who will
probably remove his stock there to
day or to-morrow.
We learn that the health of
Mrs. Jno. Ellison, who has been at
Helper, Utah, for some time, has
not improved and a removal to Salt
Lake City is intended.
The entertainment in course of
preparation by the Daughters of the
King, and which was to have been
given the early part of next week,
has been indefinitely postponed.
Dr. Butt, the new dentist, ar
rived in town a few days aero, and
has fitted up his office in McDon
aid's block. His mother accompan
ied him, and they will shortly take
their residence in the Second ward.
R. C. Hardin, of Whittier, was
in town yesterday. It is said Mr.
Hardin will soon join a colony,'
organized on the Bellamy plan,
which will locate in on of the fertile
valleys of Colorado.
The assessors' returns for the
city will show a depreciation of
from five to seven per cent on real
estate from the 1894 valuation..
Last year the assessed valuation
was five per cent below that of
1893.
There is talk on the streets to
the effect that Mayor-elect Baker
will appoint W. E. Park city mar
shal. Whether there is any truth in
the talk will be developed when
Mr. Baker assumes nis duties as
mayor.
W. O. Thompson, who cultivated
125 acres of land on the ditch, sold
his last season's crop for $2530.
This does not include the butter,
eggs, and etc, which were sold
during the year. Out of the above
amount he paid about $400 for
labor. This is additional evidence
that farming by irrigation pays.
Manager Goodman, of the Cody
ranch, is farming quite extensively
this year. He has put in 160 acres
of oats, will sow 100 acres to alfalfa
and his cornfield will contain be
tween 1600 and 1800 acres. As the
land is all under irrigation the crop
raised on the ranch this year will
be worth a snug sum.
Dr. Butt, the new dentist, has
arrived and will soon have his office
in shape,to receive callers.
Judge Sinclair's decision in the
case of Paxton & Hershey against
the Farmers' & Merchants' irriga
tion ditch company, which was ren
dered in the district court here on
Monday, is being given wide public
ity through the state press. The
decision is an important one, and
if sustained by the supreme court
as it likely will be the result will
very beneficial to the cause of irri
gation. The ladies of the Catholic
church held a social at the residence
of J. J. Sullivan Wednesday even
ing, and a large attendance and a
pleasant time is reported. An ex
ceptionally fine programme of vocal
and instrumental music was ren
dered during the evening. The
Gordon cornet band was present
and discoursed some fine music
The receipts were thirty dollars.
The officers of the Lincoln
County Immigration Association
sent in an order yesterday for 5,000
illustrated pamphlets descriptive of
the irrigated lands of the county.
This pamphlet, which will be en
graved and printed by a St. Louis
firm, will contain sixteen pages
and gotten up in the highest style
of the printer's art. The 5,000 will
cost $275.
President Fort, of the State
Irrigation Association, informs us
that arrangements are being made
to have on the state fair grounds
this fall a complete and practical
illustration of the several methods
of irrigating lands. As irrigation
is one of the most important sub
jects before the people of the west
part of the state, every effort should
be used on-their part to interest
the people of the eastern part.
WILL D CLARK A DIVIDEND.
Receiver Doolittle of the North
Platte National Bank authorizes
The Tribune to make the state
ment that a twenty per cent divi
dend on all 'approved claims against
the bank will be made within three
weeks. The receiver received
authority for such action yesterday
morning, and as soon as he can pre
pare the necessary papers, send
them to the comptroller for ap
proval and receive them back again,
the payment of the dividend will
commence.
Not all claims against the bank
have been presented tor approval,
and those who have been dilatory
in this matter will not share in the
dividend soon to be declared. The
presentation of claims for approval
is a matter claimants should not
overlook.
Those having claims against the
bank will no doubt be pleased to
learn that this dividend is to be so
early declared. It may also be
taken as evidence that Receiver
Doolittle is using every effort to
wind up the affairs of the bank as
early as possible.
In the Spring the Yoang Jfatfs Fancy tofns-
sometimes, to thoughts of love; at other periods
' Jy of sane moments, his thoughts are as to what
-Ik vrill constitute the most appropriate present for
Tv jjj, pest beloved. To him who is wandering
.in this labyrinth ot doubt and uncertainty,
Clinton,,the Jeweler, by .reason of his observation as well as
occupation, is able to give many profitable pointers. Like all
benedicts, he has a lively appreciation of the situation, and
his counsel will be as sympathetically as well as disinterestedly
given. ivJ ' ' CLINTON. THE JEWELER
WILL HE RETURN?
The Tribune had information
the early part of the week of the de
parture of C. L. Brill, manager of
the local business colllege, and that
he also took all his personal effects
with him, yet it was loth to believe
that he had "skipped the town.
Later developments, however, have
proven pretty conclusively that Brill
left with the intention of not return
ing, and that the business college
can be considered a thine or the
past. The condition Brill left mat
ters in is not satisfactory to many,
especially the dozen and a half
pupils who expected to receive di
plomas next week, bo tar as we
can learn Brill left few unpaid bills
in town.
Since the above was put in type
the following letter has been re
ceived by a young man in attend
ance at the school:
Emerson, Iowa, April 17, 1895.
V. IS. Marsh, North Platte, Neb.

The Woman's Relief Corps en
tertainment at the opera house
Tuesday evening was attended by
an audience that filled both the
floor and the gallery. The early
part of the evening was devoted to
speaking tableaux, vocal and in
strumental music, an exhibition of
fancy dancing by Delia Post, and a
drill by eight little girls dressed in
night gowns and caps. These two
latter numbers were the best on the
programme. At the conclusion of
these exercises the floor was cleared
and dancing was -engaged in until
shortly past midnight. During
the evening refreshments were
served. The net receipts of the
entertainment were about one hun
dred dollars. As the Woman's Re
lief Corps is one ofthe noblest char
itable organizations in the city, The
Tribune is pleased to note the suc
cess of the entertainment, and con
gratulates the ladies in charge on
the splendid result.

Harry Langdon has a
scheme. Being a believer in the

of ground between the shade trees
at the west of his residence set
apart for cultivation by the festive
tramp. At present the plot has
been worked about one-half over by
the industrious tramps how an
omalous this sounds after which
it is the intention to have it sub-
soiieo. &ome day, pernaps, some
typographical error when set at
this task, will decamp with the im
plement with which he is provided,
and pawn the same for the price of
a meal and a drink.
