Wills informs us that wheat in Buchanan precinct is av eraging from eight to ten bnshels per acre. One farmer down there threshed 2,000 bushels from 160 acres. Photographer Broach was up at the Birdwood the early paft of the week taking views of the Bird wood irrigation canal. These views will be placed on exhibition at the state fair. Some new wheat is being mar keted in this city at present at about forty cents per bushel. Farm ers who are not compelled to sell will probably hold their grain for a raise in price. ' Miss Minnie Federhoof gave a party to a number of friends at the Hotel Neville Saturday evening in favor of Lawrence Huffman, of Omaha. Attendants pronounce the affair a very pleasant one. Judge Neville went to Ogallala Saturday and passed upon the con stitutionality of the state irrigation law. The Judge upheld the validity of the measure, and the case will now go to the supreme court. It is said the "gold-bug" demo crats of this city will hold a caucus tonight for the purpose of selecting delegates to the state "gathering" at Lincoln. This is more enterprise than the 50-cent fellows showed. Yesterday was generally ob. served as a legal holiday in this city, the government and county offices, U. P. shops, and the banks being closed all day, and many of the business houses after 12 o'clock. E. B. Warner goes to Fremont to-mmorrow morning to inspect the tribe of Red Men in that city, and thence to Omaha to make some ar rangements for the representation of Red Men in the civic parade dur ing the state fair. The bed of the Platte river ati Gothenburg last week was almost dry, the only water flowing being a small stream which flowed in the north channel. The irrigating ditches have been absorbing about all the water in the river this year. It is said that George Felty's de parture from the city last week which was a rather hasty one was brought about by the arrival of a woman who claimed to be his wife by a marriage performed previous to his late matrimonial venture. He left a number of unpaid bills. A.P.Kittell and Harry Kramph will leave this week, possibly to night, for Monterey, Mexico, where they will do civil engineering work for the Mexican National railway. The positions which they accept have been open to them for some time, having been secured through a friend of Mr. Kittell. We wish the boys success in their new field of labor. Quite a crowd of people wit nessed the tennis games at the court on west Sixth street 3rester- day. The games were comi in the forenoon and continued dur ing the afternoon and were then left in an uncompleted state owing to the high wind which arose. The final singles will be played off in the near future between Arthur Hoagland and Dr. DeBerry and the final doubles between Arthur Hoag land and t ranK mooney as one team and Dr. DeBerry and Walter Hoagland as the other. The tournament resulted in arousing much interest in tennis, and it is crh- hv another season the 1 - game will be a popular one in city. this Bishop Graves will preach at the Church of' Our Saviour next Sunday morning and evening. A Tvell-attended Sunday-schoo! picnic was held in Buchanan's grove in Buchanan precinct, last Satur day. The Boston- Store is offering some extraordinary inducements this month.

An old settlers' picnic will be held in Maywood on the 14th inst. Quite a number of farmers residing in the south part of this county will attend. The first consignments of fresh oysters were received the latter part of the week, but this early in the season they are a luxury only the rich can afford. Smoke Wright's Royal Sports and Havana Rose 5-cent cigars. John Lemaster finished his tan dem bicycle yesterday and the boys kept it on the road about every minute during" the afternoon. It is a well constructed machine. Sheriff Miller and guards Baker and Healy refurned from Lincoln Saturday night, having delivered the Knudson brothers over to the warden of the penitentiary. Tickets for the comic Ispera to be given at Lloyd's opera house next Thursday evening are selling rapidly. If you wish a good seat lose no time in getting tickets at Clinton's. Edith Patterson entertained a number of her young friends at a birthday party yesterday afternoon from three until seven o'clock. The youngsters seemed to have a very jolly time. A gentleman living in the ex treme south part of the county, says that between here and his home corn promises to yield about one third of an average crop it it is not nipped by early frosts. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. T. Field en tertained a number of friends last night in favor of their guests, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick, of Chicago. The evening was passed at cards, and resulted pleasantly to all partici pants. Engineer Charley Baskins, while pulling a freight train east a day or two ago was confronted by a tie which some miscreant had placed on the track near Gannett. Fortunately the obstacle was no ticed in time to bring the train to a stop. The proposed new railroad up the North Platte river has been christened the North Platte, Gering & Pacific Railroad, and the capital stock has been placed at two million dollars. Articles of incorporation are now being drafted. It is likely the committee will hold a conference with the Union Pacific officials within the next week. Down in the eastern part of the state considerable enthusiasm is being aroused over the beet sugar industry, and a number of towns are working to. secure a factory. No place in the state possesses such ad vantages for growing sugar beets as does" the irrigated district of Lin coln county, and no where else.: would the raising ot the same prove so profitable. Let us renew our ef forts to secure a factory. The monthly summary for Aug ust issued bv Observer Piercv shows that the 16th was the warm est day ot that month, the tempera ture running up to ninety-nine. The mean temperature for the month was seventy-two, while dur ing August, 1894, it was seventy four. During: the month the rain fall amounted to 2.13 inches, which is about one-tourth of an inch below the average for twenty years. In August last year we had seventeen one-hundredths of an inch. The social and dance given Friday evening by the members of of the Gordon cornet band at Keith's hall was largely patronized. During the early part of the even ing a concert was given, which was mush enjoyed, after which a dance as given. Icecream and cake werfc served throughout the evening. The boys request this newspaper to return their thanks to the ladies who waited upon the tables, and to those who contributed cakes, etc The net receipts amounted to about forty dollars. James Wilson, of Kearnej, for merly of this city, is unalterably opposed to women wearing bloom ers. To show that his stand is well taken, he a few days ago mailed to the Kearney Hub the following passage from the 25th chapter of Deuteronomy: "The woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man; neither shall a man put on woman's garments; for- all that do bo are abomination unto the Lord, thy God," Jim is quite a biblical student and has several other pas-J sages treating on the subject which h win pfoduee at any time. The Tribune force is under ob ligations to Joseph H. Baker for noerai supply or very nice green corn. - Philip Picard, who had been working in this office over a year, entered the machine shop to-day .as an apprentice.

M Grimes, and one or- two others went to Gandy yesterday where a term of district court wil be held. Watermelons are very plentiful in the local market this week; in tact they are almost a drug. I6r ten or fifteen cents yon can buy very large one. North Platte public schools will open upon the 16th-inst., and with the present able corps of teachers the school year will no doubt be very successful one. The Gandy Pioneer says there are two school districts in Logan county which have fine frame school houses, but not a child of school age in either district. Guv Laincr this week sold to George Haxby and Joe Atkins his sandhills hay ranch, a460-acretract of the best hay land in the sandhills country. Sidney Telegraph. J. S.

The Cody Guard donned their dress unitorms last evening", and gave an exhibition drill on the streets. The boys looked very neat and trim in appearance and went through the many movements with grace and precision. Quite a large crowd witnessed the drill.

If you contem plate leaving home for treatment, consult him before deciding. H. Otten left with us last Fri day evening samples of the honey which his bees produced this season, and the quality is certainly very fine. Mr. Otten started in last spring" with nine colonies, which have mul tiplied to thirty, and during the sea son he has sold 500 pounds of honey to a local grocer. Mr. Otten says the Platte valley, by reason of the many flowering plants which grow therein, is an excellent feeding ground for bees, and that apiary interests can be very successfully conducted almost anywhere in this valley.

Last week W. O. Thompson threshed 785 bushels of oats from off six acres of land, or an average ot almost 131 bushels per acre. Now if there is any other spot on top of God's foot- stool mat can produce similar re sults, let its owner step forth and make proof of so doing, or hence forth and forever hold his peace. Even to you fellows in Nebraska east of the one hundredth meridian, and who imagine there is nothing west of that legendary line but sandhills, cowboys, . coy otes, cactus and whiskey, is the gauntlet thrown down. Pick it up if vou dare. Champion Sprinter of the United States. A telegram received last night announced that Frank Sullivan, of this city, had won the United States' championship as a light weight sprinter at the races held at Brocton, Mass., yesterday after noon. There were, we believe, seven entries in the race. All North Platte will congratulate Frank Sullivan upon this great honor he has won in the sporting world. In our next issue a full report of the race will be given. Bring in Tour State Fair Exhibits. Until the 8th of September the Ivincoln Co.

Company IS returned Sunday morning trom tne encampment at Hastings, and expressed themselves as well pleased with the week's camp life. There was but one thing to mar the pleasures of the week, and that was the lack of sufficient opportunity for the boys to display their new dress uniforms, and this was enough to break their hearts, or eacn member or tne company considers himself a good looking man when arrayed in these natty suits. Many incidents occurred in camp that provoked much merri ment, among which was the pecu- iar accident that befell Professor Orr, and which the bovs of the company will probably never for get. That lap-robe which "slip pery" Simpson brought home will also cause' a ribple .of laughter among the boys e'ach time it is dis closed to view. Taken altogether the week spent in camp was a most enjoyable one. The weekly shoot of the gun club Saturday evening was slimly attended by members; only four taking part in the contest, craves broke four birds out of fifteen Hosier ten straight, Dillon five out ui mteen, ana rice eikr"L fifteen.
