Entries for the Fourth ot July
contests are being1 liberally made,
anr the events promise to be very
exciting-.
Harry Dixon has sold his bi
cycle to C. A. and W. E. Dill. The
record he made in the road race
went with the wheel.
W. C. Elder reports the growth
of timothy and red-top upon his
place in Medicine precinct as being
little short of marvelous.
Alex. Adams received his pen
sion the latter part of the week.
The amount received, we believe,
covered a period of about one year.
The L. O. T. M. are making
preparations for a little sociable
among" their members at the time
of the installation of their officers.
Just before dinner to-day
Harry Lamplugh's ice delivery team
took a little spin but did not suc

that was to have taken place be

Inquiry developed the fact there
port was without foundation.
Several of our local "bykers''
ar practicing- upon the slow race for
the 4th of July. They generally
find it more difficult than they at
first thought If proper restrictions
are made the contest will prove a
very mirth provoking affair.
A game of base ball Sunday
afternoon between the regulars and
a picxea nine resulted in a victory
for the former by a score of eleven
to eight. Batteries; Regulars Nor

Bill Johnson, of Gaslin precinct,
was bitten in the hand by a rattle
snake a few days ago, but by
prompt antidotes was freed from
danger, and was able to come to
this city yesterday to see if the
proper treatment was being era
ployed.
Andy Scharman has accepted a
position in Chas. McDonald's store,
viceC. H. Dolph, who it is said
expects to return to Pennsylvania,
where his family has been for some
time. Andy is no novice at counter
hopping, and will prove to be the
right man in the right place.
A number of the road overseers
throughout the county, are making
an earnest warfare upon the Rus
sian thistle. This is as it should
be, - although the law should be
amended so as to include all noxious
weeds and plants. What is gener-
The company is having the coal

Boom the Lincoln county fair
meeting this fall. No more patriot

4th than to agitate the subject.
J. C. Federhoof has just had
forty acres broken on his farm near
Max Beer's, under the South Side
Irrigation Canal Co. Gus Huffman
will follow suit.
The monthly business meeting
of the ladies' Auxiliary of the Y.M.
C. A. will be held Friday afternoon
July 5 at 4 oclock. , A full attend
ance of members is desired.
The baseball club is expecting
a large attendance at its game on
the fair grounds on Thursday after
noon. It is said hackmen will carry
spectators to the game for 10 cents
each way.
A very fine load of broom-corn
was yesterday purchased by the
North Platte Broom Factory. The
farmer who has a good crop of this
sort in 1895 will probably meet
with good prices this fall.
C. F. Iddings had a new tele
phone transmitter put in his office
last week which is said to be a
'corker." It is intended for a 500
mile circuit, and the sound is so
great when Dave Scott undertakes
to sing, even out in the lumber
yard, that Newton has had to ring
him off under a threat of turning
in a riot alarm.
We have been shown a sample

St. Patrick's choir by the Rev.
O'Toole, at which music and sing
ing were the features of the even

ments; after which Father O'Toole
thanked the members for past ser
vices, and all departed after having
spent a very pleasant evening.
Up to 2 o'clock yesterday forty
six of the good citizens of North
Platte had paid the tax upon their
pet canines. As there is a question
of just how far an officer may go in
the killing of canines, unless he
finds them running at large upon
the streets, the officials are proceed

Taylor, second only to "Buffalo
Bill" had a great time last week
with the sheriffs and constables o:
northern Pennsylvania. It seems
that he recently severed his engage
ment with the Wyoming Wild Wes
Show, and as the managemen
owed him $700 he took a number
of horses which he intended to sel
m payment of the debt. A warrant
for his arrest upon a charge of
horse-stealing was procured, and
an attempt made to serve it, since
which time he has been having ;
good time at his old sport of cow
boy fun roping those who attempt
to interfere with him, occasionally
shooting between the feet of an un
willing dancer, and all such inno
cent pastimes.
The Methodist entertainment
given at Keith's hall Fridaj' even
ing, in which Miss Pike "figured as
the drawing card, was largely at
tended, nearly every chair being
occupied. Those who expected
treat were not disappointed, for the
elocutionist was at her best, and
very charmingly did she render
her four numbers, each of which
was encored. Miss Pike also ga
a pleasing exhibition of Indian
club swinging. Interspersed
through the programme were in
strumental and vocal solos and
duets by local talent, all of which
were much enjoyed. Taken alto
gether the entertainment was all
that could be desired. Miss Pike
left for Denver this morning,- after
a pleasant visit with the family of
C. F. Tracy.
Alter the 4th of July the Lin
coln county fair. Our business men
should all put their shoulders to the
wheel and see that it is made a
grand success in the broadest sense
of the word. No half dozen men
wu uidjtc it inorougn success ot a
fair meeting, and it is only by
united effort that the best, results
are accomplished. It would be well
luc cjuuoition to oe nem prior
to the state fair, in order that the
display might be taken there. The
Lincoln County Immigration Ass'n
are making arrangements to this
end. It would be a great thing- for
Lincoln county to capture the county
prize at what promises to be the
greatest state fair in the historv of
Nebraska. Let us all pitch in and
try to accomplish this. Its worth
would be of incalculable value to
alLthe people of. the county.
oounohjManio controversies.
As Monday evening was the reg
ular meeting of that dignified body,
yclept the high city council of
North Platte, there was a full at
tendance of all members now in the
city, alderman Johnson being out.
of town. Of course the first bone
of contention over which the mem
bers wrangled was the petitions
from the city fire department for S.
L. Bristol or L B. Isenhart as
chief. After a great deal ot flatu
lent oratory the evil day- was only
postponed by a motion stating that
the nomination of S. L. Bristol had
failed of confirmation by the coun
cil, and requesting the fire depart
ment to hold another election and
certify the Jesuit up to the council
for action.
A brief petition from residents
of the Third ward was then read,
praying for the removal of the'
evangelists' tents north of the
round-house on account of the ndise
of their meetings. The mayor
stated upon this subject that he
had been asked for protection" by
one of the gentlemen -conducting
the meetings, who informed him
that the greater part of the noise
came from outside the tent. This
is no doubt tru'i. Probably the
zeal of these exhorters is no greater
than that of soma other denomina
tions whose names might be men
tioned, and as the constitutions of
both the United States and the
great state of Nebraska give peo
ple the right to worship God each
after his own fashion, they must be
allowed to conduct their meetings
undisturbed by hoodlums. All
that can be urged against them is
that they are occupying an unused
portion of one of the principal
streets closed to traffic by the ac
tion of the Union Pacific railway.
The subject was finally dropped
without any definite action.
A numerously signed petition
from citizens asking" that the dosr
tax be reduced to SI per canine was
next read and as the Solons could
not clearly see their way to legally
do so, the matter was deferred.
A motion, was then made to ap
ply the amount of money in the
water fund to hydrant rental. This
precipitated considerable discus
sion, and an attempt was made by
the attorney for the Waterworks
Co. to get the council upon record
to ascertain its purpose in1 re
gard to the matter. Eel-like it
wriggled frpin, under Jby, postpon
ing; anj-aCTioff 'until the. ty,
ney returnee, irom xenver.
The chief of police was then in
structed to take thenecessary steps
to enforce the ordinance relative to
wooden awnings and signs across
the sidewalks. Now watch how
the council will back him up in his
efforts:
A small kick was then indulged
in by a couple of members upon the
"city scales" sign, but genial alder
man Fikes succeeded in laughing
the very diminutive objection out
of countenance, and no action was
taken. Later on M. C. Harrington
presented a document containing
among other names that of the
mayor vouching for the sccuracy of
his scales, and offering to deposit
from $100 to $500 with the council
if they were not found to be fully
as accurate as any similar scales in
the city.
Upon motion the resignation of
Chief Evans, of the city fire depart
ment, was then accepted. To the
average layman it would look as if
this action should have been taken
before a new election was called for
by the council to fill a vacancy.
The special ordinance relating to
the election of a chief for the fire
department was then read for the
third time, and an attempt was
made to amend it at that time.
Aldermanic wisdom decided that in
view of their previous action in re-

T is a practice, unforunately too fre
quent, for dealers to mark fictitious
and fanciful prices upon goods as a basis for
reductions and a text for advertising.
This is sometimes done on a large scale. Positive
evidence confronts us in which the net result of vaunted
and much advertised bargains is simply a scale of prices
which are more than we and other honorable dealers
regularly charge. Delicacy stops the statement here.
The remedy for this "humbug" is
with the retail buyers. . .
