about calling for it.

seat factory of Stannard & White,

ObrroPiefcy has hoisted a bran
new fain flag to take the place of

tory for an overhauling.
F. H. Longley has been removed
from his position as a member ot
the local pension examining board,
probably upon the ground of offen
sive partisanship. The position,
with all its emoluments and profits,
is now open to applicants.
A new sidewalk is being laid
in front of the Holteen property on
Spruce street. Should Chas. Mc
Donald and T. J. Foley conclude to
lay a permanent sidewalk like slag
olithic in front .ot their property
they would pull the travel and busi
ness oyer to the west side of the
street.
Arrangements are being per
fected by the local wheelmen for
another race from the McPherson
national cemetery to this place for
a purse of $50. It is said that if
the race is run for cash prizes an
attempt will be made to class the
participants as professionals by
the wheelmen's league.
A number of our amateur srar
deners this spring purchased and
planted what they supposed were
dwarf peas. Now the plants seem
to be trying to outdo the record of
Jack's famous bean-stalk, and the
aforesaid a. g. are kept busy in this
treeless country trying to provide
brush upon which the plants may
climb.
The county commissioners re
ceived the usual notice this week
from the auditor of state relative
to the levying of a sinking fund for
the payment of funding, bridgeand
jaii bonds. It appears that a por
tion of these were issued before the
lw authorizing the creation of a
sinking fund-for this purpose hence
it has not been done in time past.

bride's aunt, in Omaha, Mrs. M.
Butler, on June 1st. 1895, Mr. T. C.
Scott to Mrs. Audrey Coleman. In
a few. days the couple will leave for
Adrian, Mich.
We have learned of a man ia
this county who before the rain
last week was trying to borrow $10
upon a quarter section of land with
which to make final proof, and was
unable to do so. To-day he would
have less difficulty.
J. G. Crabtree, of Whittier.
and Cecil Tuell, of Somerset, were
callers at this office the latter part
of the week. The former is spoken
of as a probable republican candi
date for sheriff, and the latter is
beinsr unred bv his friends to be
a candidate tor clerk of the district
court.
As is usuallT the case, the ob
serving individual at the commence
ment exercises last week observed
that the fifty pound "kid" could
make more noise in walking over
the floor than a 200 pound adult.
This caused considerable annoy
ance to those in the back of the
house who were trying to hear the
speakers.
The man Ruhle who was arrest
ed for horse-stealing, upon the ad
vice or the county attorney was
turned loose on account of there
being insufficient evidence to secure
a conviction, and the case was set
tled outside the court. The same
disposition was made of the case of
the State vs. Ed Davis, charged
ivvatn.; assault witn an attempt
to
commit rape, xne prosecuin
ness failing to show up:SKe'had
possibly heard of the new religious
sect said to be forming in Omaha,
and perhaps feared that the defend
ant's lawyer might claim the
accused was simply practicing
part of his religion.
In speaking of the formation of
Gov. Hofcomb's new inilitan' staff
Walt Mason thus says of our own
and only: "W. F. Cody, of North
Platte has also been appointed an
aide-de-camp, which office he pre
viously held with credit to himself
and state. He is a gentleman of
some prominence in his own coun
ty, where he owns a large farm.
In his younger days he was some
what given to the frivolous pursuit
of killing Indians and curing their
scalps for the foreign market; but
he has sobered down with advanc
ing years, and now he can pass
cigar store Indian without giving a
war-whoop. He will be an extreme
ly valuable mail in case of war, and
the governor displayed great wis
dom in appointing him."
This evening at 8:30 o'clock at
the Church of Our Saviour, Henry
Gilfoyl will be united in marriage
to Miss Beatrice Arundale, the Rev.
iMcuonam omciating. it will be a
very quiet wedding, cards of invita
tion having only been issued to a
few ot the more intimate friends.
Ushers will be at the door to receive
the cards of admission. Each of
these young people are well and
favorably known in this city, the
former having been ensrajred in train
service here for several years, while
the bride has wrought in various
capacities in North Platte. It is
the -wish of The Tribune that, the
journey through life of these young
people may be remarkable for its
pleasantness, and that the little
squalls of domestic difficulty may
only make the calm more agreeable.
By invitation the following
members of the degree staff of Sig
net Chapter No. 55, O. E. S. left
this morning for Lincoln to exemp
lify the unwritten work of the order
at the meeting of the state chapter:
Mrs. A. S. Baldwin, C. E. Barber,
Mrs. D. A. Baker. Mrs. G. W. Finn -
Mrs. M. H. Douglas, Miss Mattie
Donehower, Mrs. J. G. Anderson,
Mrs. C. E. Norton, Mrs. F. N.
Dick, Mrs. W. C. Reynolds, Miss

Hartman. Mrs. C. G. Hall, who is
a past omcer. accomnanied the
party. To-morrow morning Mes-
dames W. J. Stuart and W. W.
Birge will leave for the same place

is quite an honor for North Platte
which these ladies have earned by
patiently practicing to perfect
themselves in the work.

conclude to locate there.
Sheriff Miller was yesterday
exhibiting a mammoth mushroom,
seven inches in diameter, which he
found down near Bratt's ranch. If
Lincoln county's crops the coming
year are commensurate with-the
above plant they will be something
enormous.
As a number of North Platte
people have been interested in the
oratorical contest at the Platte in
stitute in Kearney, we note that
the first prize, the gold medal, was
awarded to Marshall Ross, of that
city his subject being "Simon says
Thumbs up." It was a difficult
matter, however, for the judges to
decide between Mr. Ross and Miss
Mildred Barstow, of Str Patri; Neb.
The city council held a short
session last evening, in the ab
sence of Maj'or Baker, president of
the council Thomson presided. Al
dermen Johnston and Iddings were

irrigation lateral across Twelfth
street, and v?as given permission
provided he would construct a
flume the entire width of the street
A petition was read from residents
of the Third ward asking the city
to put in an additional bridge
across the slough in that ward.
This matter was referred to the
proper committee. C. M. Newton
was instructed to place guards at
the entrance of an alley across
which he dug a water trench, in
order that passing teams might
not get mired. Saml. Smith asked
that he be permitted to place a
fruit table on the sidewalk in front
of his store, but was informed that
an ordinance prohibited such. The
chief of the fire department re
ported that part of the poles and
wire of the alarm system were in
bad condition and that owing there
to good work could not be expected
of the system. He was directed to
make some temporary repairs and
the rest of the work will be attend
ed to later.
OOBN IS CASH.

will not, sell corn or feed on

The Village of Curtis no longer
has a daHi.by a mill site or mill by

past wee&feaused the waters of
Lake Curtis to break away from

the scenes, of a miniature Johns

disaster will be found upon the in

Judging from the sentiment of
a portion of the members of the city
council, it is doubtful if the city
will any-Jonger pay the hydrant
rental until thej validity of the con
tracfehas been determined by law.
It may btha sometime" may be
founa-dsf-ective in theagiccment,
and it may be that North Platte
will havethe sum to pay with the
costs added; yet the city should in
no-wise take any step that would
impair its credit, or look like repu
diation. However, it is perhaps as
well to test the validity of the ordi
nance, i--
The -Tribune has heard consid
erable complaint recently in regard
to the waV in which the North
Platte cemetery is being managed,
in regard-, to the locking of the
gates. Whether it is thai the offic
ers are to Jblame in this respect or
that it is 1 only an assumption on
the part of the sexton we do not
know; but one thing is certain that
it,s causjng some very healthy,
abled-bpdied "kicks." One of our
most steady going citizens was
lately so garaged upon driving out
there and, finding the ga'tes locked,

M. ATlSaiigherty received u com
munication from a Chicago firm
last week which is looking up the
prospects for investing in irrigation
district bonds. Mat went to Omaha
Sunday on No. 8' to meet these
parties and if prospects of a sale of
bonds are quite certain, Mat will
not test the constitutionality of the
law, but will go right on and build
the ditch. However, if this, district
finds sale for its bonds, other
parties who think of organizing
need have no fears and need wait
no longer, but go ahead and organ

Owing to the rain Saturday
the Gordon cornet band
could not give its concert. This
will be rendered next Saturday
evening, the weather permitting.
The "Teachers' National Bene
fit Association," of Lincoln, is the
latest thing in mutual insurance in
this state. It is intended to be
composed of school teachers, and
A. K. Goudy, ex-state superinten
dent, is at its head. It will bear an

Sheriff Miller has had the num
ber of his boarders very materially
increased in the past few days. G.

stealing a horse from the widow of
Nicholas Biehl, a man named Rob
inson from down about Fox Creek,
who is believed to be slightly un
Daiancea was orougnt in upon a
charge of petty stealing, and a fel
low named Ed Davis was "jugged"
for assaulting Sally Ann Butts.
The Gordon cornet band has
received permission from the coun
ty commissioners to have erected
in the courthouse park a suitable
band stand, and the boys in a short
time will call upon our citizens for
contributions for this purpose. It
is an excellent plan and it should
be liberally encouraged by our peo
pie, and especially by our business
men, wnose xraaeiSjwCpnsiaerapiv.

ber of persons attracted from their
homes by these Saturday evening
concerts.
"We have received from John
Evans, deputy secretary of state, a
copy of the law and blank notice to
be used by road overseers, city
marshals and street commissioners,
to be used in looking after Russian
thistles. The law passed with the
emergency clause, and there is a
fine of from S50 to $100 to be asses
sed against overseers who fail to
do their duty; and also a line of
from S10 to $100 against the owner
of any land permitting such thistles
to grow upon his land after beinr
notified. It would be well for these
officers to look up their duties under
the new statute.
At North Platte, where Mike
Callahan comes from, grandmothers
made fairy tales of how the widows
and spinsters sat up late in the
nijrht thinkinjr how to entrap the
wily Callahan into connubial
meshes; how expertly Callahan
dared the arrows of Cupid and
how he persisted in remaining in
bachelorhood until the divinity that
shaped his end sent him to Grand
Island. Here was a maiden fair to
see and Mike didn't "take care!" He
was caught the first trip out of the
box and Sunday Miss Jennie Broad-
well became Mrs M. E. Callahan,
the ceremony taking place at the
lome of a .sister of the bride in Lin
coln. Miss Broadwell is well and
avorably known as the cashier of
he Vienna restaurant, of which
Mr. Callahan is part owner, and it
is stated that the blush of Mr. C.
when he informed his partner that
he would be off for about ten days
was a thing of beauty and joy for
ever. Mr. and Mrs. C. will not
return for a week or ten days. Mr.
is also very popular with his
patrons and just wait until he
returns! Grand Island Independ
