HIRST-McNAMARA WEDDING.
At seven o'clock yesterday morn
ing at the home of the bride's par
ents in this city Geo. H. Hirst was
united in marriage to Miss Anna,
eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
McNamara. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. A. W. Graves in
the presence of the family and a
very limited number of guests. Im
mediately following the ceremony
a sumptuous wedding breakfast
was served, and the bride and groom
left an hour later for Indianapolis,
Ind., stopping en route at Omaha,
the home of the groom's parents,
and at Chicago, and Will be "at
home" in Indianapolis after Octo
ber 1st.
This marriage takes from North
Platte a very estimable and highly
popular young lady'. Since early
childhood she has resided in this
city, attended the public schools,
graduated with credit to herself,
and for several years rendered effi
cient service as a teacher in the
public schools. Possessing every
virtue and character which goes to
make up the true woman, she will
ever prove a kind, devoted and
faithful wite, and Mr. Hirst is cer
tainly to be congratulated upon
having secured for a life companion
a lady- possessing such a happy
combination of good traits.
The groom prior to last January
was employed for a year or more as
a machinist in the U. P. shops in
this city. During his residence
here he won the friendship of every
acquaintance, for in him was found
the qualities ot a straightforward
and exemplar' young man. En
tirely void of ill habits and pos
sessed of a good business head, the
young- man has accumulated suffi-
cient of this world's goods to insure
for himself and wife immunity
airainst the gaunt wolf. He has of
late been employed at Indianapolis,
and is an expert at his trade.
"While the wedding was a quiet
one, it was a very pretty one, the
only feature partaking of a sem
blance of a regret being the arrival
of a profusion of flowers from Oma
aha after the ceremony had been
performed.
Mr. and Mrs. McNamara can con-
frr-ifiilntr tliprtrsi-l VPS flint- tllfir
daughter has been happily married,
and the friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Hirst will unite with The Tribune.
in wishing them, a long life replete
with success.

THE FARMERS' PARADISE.
Ed. Tribune: In company- with
my "better half" and Mr. and Mrs.
David Minshall I inspected the ditch
country between here and Suther
land last Tuesday. On the Otten
farm grain, fruits and vegetables
look fine, and on the farm of W. L.
Park is to be seen the finest potato
field in the state. Mr. Park's large
young orchard is in a healthy con
dition. His alfalfa fields are fine.
On the McKee farm was seen a
field of wheat that will average at
least forty bushels to the acre. We
took dinner on the Hershey farm
and saw about everything which
grows in this latitude trees full
of choice apples, vines full of
grapes, peanuts, vegetables of all
kinds, and tame grasses.
Now I have this to say to those
farmers who are talking of leaving
this country to hunt farms: Don't
do it. There are ' thousands of
acres of land in the valley between
here and Sutherland that can be
irrigated and there's plenty ot water
to do it. There is no discount on
the quality of the land. Instead
of leaving the county, rent or buy
fort- or eighty acres under one ot
the ditches and 3-011 are assured of
success; and especially so if you
display the same intelligence used
b- farmers in the older states.
Don't leave this laud to hunt for
better, for you will never find it.
I have farmed in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois-
and Wisconsin, and have
never seen a better chance for a
farmer to make money, than on
land under the irrigating ditches
of Lincoln county, I mav have
more to say on this subject in the
future. R. A. McMurray.
A six year old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. M. h. Brooks.of Maxwell,
was lost in the hills north of that
place Sunday forenoon and was not
found until the afternoon of the
following day. The family were
out berrvinir and the child in some
way became separated troin the
others. She was not missed until
a start ior home was made and then
search was at once instituted. Not
finding a trace of the lost girl read
ily, a messenger was dispatched to
Maxwell for help, and at- one time
the searching party numbered
sixt--seven. When found she was
several miles from the point from
which she strayed, and was well
exhausted trotn thirst and ex
posure.
- It is rumored that a number of
oung men arouud town are con
siderably worked up over an event
which is expected to transpire in
the future. P. S. To the average
reader an item such as the above is
not of particular interest; but it
(and others of like nature) is pub
lished solely for the purpose of let
ting certain people know that news
paper men "catch on" to consider
able "news" that never appears in
print. Some day, however, the cat
may be allowed to jump out ot the

with the transactions will not want
to be seen on the principal through-fares.
About sixty persons enjoyed

adopted:

Resolved, That in the death of Com
rade Adams this Post loses one of its

The "Old Pino" in Dartmouth Collogo
park, with which many of the traditions
of the institution are connected, and
around which ovory graduating class of
half a century has smoked its farewell
pipe, has been cut down. It was struck
by lightning seven years ago, and in 1892
was badly broken by the wind. All at
tempts to repair the damage and prevent
decay failed and it died last spring. Ex
President Bartlett thinks it at least 200
years old.
At one time tho Duke of Wellington's
extreme popularity was rather embar
rassing. For instance, on leaving homo
each day he was always intercepted by
an affectionate mob, who insisted on
hoisting him on their shoulders and ask
ing where they should carry him. It
was not always convenient for him to say
where he was going, so he used to say:
"Carry me home, carry me home," and
so ho used to be brought home half a
dozen times a day a few minutes after
leaving his own door.
What next? The bloomer girl has
added a pistol pocket to her cloth-devouring
pantaloons, and carries a real
bullet hurler in it. The authority for
tho statement is nono other than one of
the oldest and moBt experienced cycling
outfitters in the country a man who has
made more plain and double skirts for
devotees of the wheel than any other
tailor of either sex. The new fad is not
confined to tho bolder bloomerites, but
instead has been boomed by the weak
and modest wheelesses who have been
annoyed by recent acts of rufiians on the
road. When the pistol practice becomes
part and parcel of the wheeling course
those who poke fun at the cycliennes.
in "knicks" will take desperate chances.
It has been demonstrated that a woman
can tire a bullet straighter than sho can
throw a Btone or a skillet. Now York
