Albert Frere. The latter had taken
up some horses belonging to the
former. LaRue went to Frere's
place and attempted to drive the
animals home, when Frere attacked

carriage. Quite a number of wit
nesses are on hand to give testi
mony in the case.
A good joke is going the
rounds about a prominent attorney
of North Platte, who has many
friends ot Ogalalla. It appears
that the gentleman was at Jules
burg attending to legal business.
He took No. 8 out of Julesburg and
feeling tired he perched his feet
upon the window sill of the car
window and went to sleep. Before
the train pulled out some one
quietly from the outside pulled
one of his shoes off throwing an old
musty No. 12 in the seat, which
wakened the attorney. After dis
covering his loss, with a yawn he
remarked: "It's a good thing I've
got another pair at home." Oga
lalla News.
called for
house for
the purpose of feeling the public
pulse in regard to having a Fourth
of July celebration. As there was
no observance of the natal day in
our city last year, it would seem
fitting to have a fair-sized celebra
tion this year. If the money which
was expended last year by those
who wrent away to celebrate had
been spent at home it would have
been sufficient to have insured
quite a glorious time. There
should be a good attendance at the
meeting this evening and a general
committee should be appointed to
make the initial arrangements. It
is not to early too start in on this
matter if we are to have a celebra
tion of any magnitude.
Messrs. Orr and Snyder, the
gentlemen who are intending to
open the summer normal school
in this city, commencing on
June 24th, are "anticipating a very
large attendance of teachers from
various portions of western Ne
braska. In these days of democratic
simplicity and rigid economy, for
tunate, indeed, is the preceptor who
is exceptionally well fitted for his
duties who escapes such a blight
upon energies. The above named
gentlemen are more than ordinarily
well qualified to fit teachers for the
the duties of their avocation. The
former is principal of our public
schools, and his work speaks for
itself and needs no words of com
mendation from The Tribune. He
is a graduate of the Kansas State
Normal school, and has had an ex
tensive training m this particular
feature of educational work. Mr.
Snyder has had years of experience
in educational work, and has suc
cessfully conducted summer schools
in time past. Each is possessed of
sufficient energy to surmount more
than ordinary obstacles, and we
trust that their efforts may be
-abundantly rewarded jby having
their training school crowded t
the utmost capacity.
A meeting has been
this evening at the court
District court convenes June 3d and
will be confronted with a large amount
of business.

Platte on Ascension Day, May 23d, and

Knights Templar will attend services
there in the afternoon.
I. A. Fort has been in Omaha for
several days laying out the acre of
of ground which .will be .devoted to a
practical demonstration of irrigation
during the state fair this fall.
Through an oversight of some one,
probably the printer, the advertisement
of the Hotel Neville was omitedfrom
the woman's edition. This was the only
thing lacking to make the paper com
plete.
A musical association was formed at
the meeting held Tuesday evening,
about fifteen becoming members at that
time. A meeting will be held Tuesday
evening at which Prof. Garlich will
t
begin his work of instruction.
Rob Finney has gone to Sidney to
accept a position as switchman, Johnnie
Baker takes the position vacated by
Finney, Chas. Yost succeeds Baker and
August Johnson takes Yost's place in
the Pacific Hotel.
If the secretary of the Lincoln
county agricultural society wants to' put
up a drawing card for the fair this fall
he should have a number of bicycle
races on the programme, it would
prove especially attractive if several of
these were for lady contestants.
Talk about candidates for office! Up .
to date about eleven perspiring pops
have quietly announced themselves as
candidates for county clerk Burritt's
shoes, with several precincts from which
to hear. That's proper, boys. If you
want anything don't hesitate to ask for
it.
C. P. Ross left Wednesday night for ;
Ash Hollow where he will do the engi-'
neering work on an irrigation ditch
which is to be constructed under the
i
provisions of the new district irrigation,
law. M. A. Dauehertv is one of the
prime movers in the enterprise, which
insures its success.
The Tribune hears a great many
"kicks" over the appointment of John
Davis as night policeman. A majority
of the "kickers" insist that John Sawyer
made an excellent officer, and being an
old veteran, should have been retained.
If the new man performs his duties as he
should he can outlive any record he
previously established.
George Vrbman leaves in a day, or '
two for San Diego, Cal., where he has
been elected president of a company
that will build a railroad 300 miles long.
This line will be entirely owned and con
trolled by railroad men, stock being sub
scribed by engineers, firemen and other
railroad employes all over the country.
Wednesday was a record breaker in
the way of high temperature for this
locality. The theremometer at the
government signal office in this city
registered 96 degrees, the highest tem
perature ever shown for May by the re
cords of the office. The following night
a heavy wind storm came up, accom
panied by a light ram, which fell to the
depth of .22 of an inch.
Circulars have been already received
in regard to the National Encampment
of the G. A. R. to be held at Louisville,
Ky., next September. Headquarters for
L. of G. A. R.rW. R. C, and D. of V., are
being assigned. This is only following
precedent established by tormer national
and department encampments, and
some Rip Van Winkles still insist that
that the L. of G. A. R. are not recog
nized. X.
Several ladies who realize the comfort
of wearing bloomers when riding a
bicycle have invested in these bifurcated
garments, but their modesty prevents
them from appearing on the streets thus
attired. In order to accustom them
selves to the use of the bloomers and at
the same time caJlouse their modesty,
these ladies put on their garments each
evening and use the back yard as a
bicycle course. There iB nothing im

A special to the Bee from Laramie
under date of May 8th, says: The tirst
member of the American Railway Union
charged with being implicated in the
strike troubles of last July to be rein
stated by the Union Pacific is Fireman
John A. Anderson of this city. Ander
son was given back his old job two days
ago and in returning to work regains
the same rights held at the time of his
discharge, a concession from the com
pany that is hailed with great satisfac
tion by the members of the Firemen's
Brotherhood, who have been working
strenuously in Anderson'sbehalf.
Attorney Wilcox has lately had a case
come under his notice which has caused
him to become a close student on the
subject of "Sound Sleeping," and it is
likely he will in the future furnish the
city papers with able articles on the
subject. The particular case, to which
we refer comes from the south part of
the county and is certainly very mystify
ing, but Mr. Wilcox will not consent to
have the particulars published until he
prepares the articles himself, which will
be as soon as he makes some further in
vestigations. COMMUNICATED.
Ed. Tribune: The following is an ex
tract from the address of Department
Commander Church, delivered at Lin
coln, Feb., 1894: "I cannot- too highly
commend the splendid work of the W
R. C, as well as the patriotic labors of
the Ladies of the G. A. R., and Daugh
ters of Veterans, all of whom are tireless
in their devotion and loyalty to the
Grand Army, and if their rivalry, as I
believe it does, consists in simply striv
ing to out do each other in aiding the
Grand Army in its great work of charity
their mission is a most noble one and
consecrates them in the hearts of our
people." Comment is unnecessary.

The wheel club held a meeting last
evening at the secretary's office 'and ad
mitted the seventeen new members who
have been patiently waiting an oppor
tunity to join the club. The question of
having a parade of 125 wheelmen to
morrow evening was discussed, and
finally referred to a committee who were
expected to see to-day what arrange
ments could be made for the event. If
it takes place it will bo worth coming,
several miles to see.
B. F. Seeberger, who is superintendent
of the North Platte Land & Water Co's
ditch and also of the JlifF, (Col.) ditch, is
a very busy man and seldom takes a day
off. He did drop business for a few
hours yesterday and devoted the time to
fishing. The results of his efforts were
very gratifying to himself, as his catch
consisted of eight pike, four catfish, two
bullheads, and seven large mud turtles.
The latter was turned over to Hans
Grimes, who has started an aquarium.
Five thousand bead of sheep went
through by rail yesterday morning.
