On Monday evening Judge Ray married Purd Palmer tc Miss Anna Her . feldt, both of May wood. A dozen friends dropped in upon Mrs. L. P. McDonald Tuesday evening and assisted in celebrating her birth an niversary. We welcome to our exchange list the Gering Courier. It is the brightest and best looking paper published in the North Platte valley. W. C. Lemon brought into town Tuesday, from his farm north of the river, a watermelon which weighed thirty-seven poundB. Railroad men can find the Asbestol fire and water proof gloves at the Wil cox Department Store. The Daughters of the King gave a very enjoyable little social at the guild house Monday evening to the members and their young lady friends. M. -K. Barnum this week trimmed tip some of his Wyandotte fowls and sent them to Omaha io compote in the poultry display at the Nebraska state fair. After Sunday next Rev. Graves will take a short vacation of a couple of weeks, being the first he has had since he took charge of the Baptist interests in this city. The interior arrangement of the Fair store has been materially changed this week in order to make more room, jyand which remodeling adds greatly to the convenience. fpRev. C. H. Mitchelmore, of Genoa, ivill occupy the pulpit Dext Sunday, morning and evening, at the Presbyte rian church in this city He has been here attending presbytery and is said to be a very fluent talker. An Alliance printer passed through the city Wednesday on Jiis way to a visit ' with Gothenburg friends. "He made the journey across the country upon a bicy cle. His costume consisted of a pair of green knickerbockers and a look of fa tigue. Nearly every dilapidated crosswalk in the Second ward has been torn out and replaced with new ones. These im- provements were badly needed, and af ter the dirt filling is settled Mayor Baker will have the thanks of pedestri ans. Men's gloves at the Wilcox Dept. Store. "English Billy's" team took a lively little spin down Iiocust street yesterday afternoon. Upon reaching the Court house park they entered and collided with a tree, when they became detached from' the wagonjand each continued the race after his own fashion. No great . damage was done. According to signal officer Piercy Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were the record smashers in the way of temperature for the month of Septem ber for this locality. Upon each of those days the mercury stood at 100 degrees. This is rather singular, as on the morn ing of the 7th there was a light frost. Last night the Gordon cornet band of this city presented N. Klein what is undoubtedly the finest Eb clarinet ever seen here. It is of the famous. C. G. Conn manufacture, and has a five years' i guarantee, which is a sufficient indica tion of the maker's faith in the durabil ity and other good qualities of his handi work. The instrument is handsomely silver plated, and is indeed a thing of beauty, and we trust!" that in I the skill ful hands of the Professor it may prove a joy forever.' John Lonergan made the presentation in behalf of the band boys, and his speech, in the language of one of the members, "completely knocked Klein off the perch," and the Professor could only articulate that the instru ment was too dry and needed wetting. T, J. Foley has become interested in an Illinois implement manufacturing concern and will have charge of the western depot to be established at Coun- cil Bluffs. He will remove his family from Sioux City to Council Bluffs with in the next month. We believe -that Mr. Foley and .family will never feel fully contented until they again take up a residence in this city, where they were for so many years identified with the business, social and church interests of the city, and where they were ever A party will be given to-morrow af ternoon at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. G.W. Dillard in honor of their little daughter. Quite a large display of fine fruit from the Oregon Short Line country, went through yesterday morning for ex hibition at the Nebraska state fair. By special request Rev. Graves will preach a sermon at the Baptist church next Sunday morning on "Non-partizan-ship in Municipal Affairs." Seats free and all welcome. Clinton, the jeweler, leaves next week for the eastern markets where he says he will purchase the largest stock of holiday goods and novelties in his line ever brought to this city. By reason of not consulting a cal endar, an error occurred in Tuesday's paper in regard to the M. W. A. "log rolling" at Sutherland. The correct date is Friday, Sept. 20th. The North Platte mills continue to pay the top market price for grain, but old Agricola, who is a little timid for fear of another famine upon the uplands next season, is a little slow in letting go hiB grip upon the same. A traveling man in the city yester day is authority for the statement that it was contemplated that the best of the Nebraska agricultural exhibit at the State fair would be taken to the Atlanta exposition. It would be a great scheme. Quite a number of emigrants from the dry portions of Colorado and Wy oming passed through this city yester day. In one of the outfits was noticed a collection that would do the heart of "Joe" Zeibert good. It consisted of a cage containing a number of wild geese and pet rabbits. Rev. L. P. McDonald would bo glad to sell some articles of furniture at the Episcopal rectory. An Art Garland hard coal stove, as good as new, a small heater, a fine folding bed, hat-rack and dining room table may be had very cheap by applying at the rectory. The North Platte Broom Factory has completed and sent specimens of its work to the State fair at Omaha to be placed in the Lincoln county exhibit. They are very handsome specimens of the broom-maker's handiwork. Fred Ginn resumed histoid vocation long enough to assist Charley Minshall in their manufacture. Arthur C. Bla.e and a young man named Hughes, arrived in the city Wednesday evening on their way east on bicycles. The former claims a Col orado championship. The last named was rather badly used up by his trip to this city, and they spent Thursday hero recuperating. Blake gave a very fine display of trick and fancy riding yester day. . B. I. Einman is having a portion of the county road northwest of this city city broken up. It is said the land ad joining has been sold under contract for agricultural purposes next season, hence the action. This has aroused consider able indignation upon the part of our citizens, and litigatiou may follow. As a counter irritant some are urging the forcing of Mr. Hinraan's property into the city limits. Ladies' kid gloves, best quality, 95 cents a pair at The Wilcox Dept. Store. While Prof. James Hall, not "the pu gilist but North Platte's lightning ma nipulator of the razor, was absent, he managed to secure surreptitiously or otherwise, a supply of the latest stylo patterns and modes of amputating tho hirsute covering of the head without pain or the use of gas. That other an esthetic, the barber's melody, is but lit tie used, and his methods will not fail j to please even the most fastidious. Give him a call at Doc Sizemore's place when you wish the most fashionable hair cut or an easy shave. While the capturing of the first prize at the State fair for the best col lection of agricultural products would be a great thing for the people of Lin coln county, considered as a state mat ter, yet Thr Tribune's pioposed potato train, and other agricultural products, would be a greater advertisement, and have a much wider effect. Besides it would not cost anything like as much to prepare tho display as it would if it were intended for competition. The matter should not be allowed to lag, but should be taken hold of with vigor by tho Lincoln County Immigration Ass'n and pushed vigorously forward to a suc cessfuLcompIetion. A number of ministers of the Pres byterian denomination from tho district west of Central City and north of tho B. & M. railway, assembled in regular presbytery session in this city Tuesday of this week and held a two days' meet ing. Regular routine business of im portance to the church was transacted. The attendance for variouscauses was not nearly so large as it should have been, but" eighteen ministers out of about fifty being present. The repre sentatives were very hospitably enter tained by our people, and are loud in the praises of the treatment afforded them. Wednesday forenoon the dele gates present who desired were given an opportunity to view the irrigated dis trict west of this city, an account of which appears elsewhere in this paper. On Wednesday evening the session session closed its labors, feeling that it had been a -profitable one despite the limited attendance. - NOWS THE TIME. Last winter our people were very on thusiastic in regard to the erection of a beet sugar factory, but the matter was deferred until our comprehensive sys tem of irrigation was more nearly com pleted. At present this objection to the enterprise is very "nearly obviated, and there is no reason why the agitation of the subject may not be resumed. Like the Chinese these institutfons have come to stay,and become an important factor in the upbuilding and development of our country's wealth. The industry has passed the experimental stage, ana is destined to become a great success. -Liincoln county possesses in excep tional degree all the elements necessary to the successful cultivation and propa gation of the sugar beet. Under this system of agriculture many more thous ands of acres of her soil could be profit aoiy tinea. JNeitner nara times nor drouth seem to be able to cut much-fig urein opposition to the, growth of a healthy sugar beet. in a numoer or cmes ana towns in Nebraska the matter of the erection of sugar factories is being carefully can vassed, and North Platte cannot afford to lag behind the procession. Within the next decade the sugar beet industry is bound to rival in value the present output of any two of her greatest agri cultural crops at this time. It be hooves this city, then, to be up and do ing. If it is not possible at the present to procure the erection of a manufao tory which will be able to turn out the finished product upon the market, let us secure reduction works where the first stages may be accomplished, as a sort of nucleus around which a larger plant and refinery may be constructed. The present is the proper time for the initial steps to be taken in the matter in order that fanners may havo ample time to properly prepare tho ground for next year's crop. . It is the opinion of expert beet-growers at Grand Island and Norfolk that had they the use of our system of irri gation that they could show results in this direction which would astonish the world. If, as admitted, that bv means of irrigation "wo can discount them in other kinds of crops, why not in the matter of the culture of the sugar beet? It is a great project for tho advance ment of Lincoln county and North Platte, and it should be at once taken hold of by our people and pushed for ward to a successful consummation. The Grand Island band at the State fair next week will be reinforced by Prof. Benesch and three of the best players of Kearney's Midway band. Tom Brown, the drayman, was se verely kicked by one of his horses in the stablo the other morning, but not so badly- injured as to prevent his being about. All members of tho North Platte Gun Club are requested to meet at Mr. Park's office at7:3Q this evening (Friday) to transact important business. " M. K. Barnom, Pres't. As an indication of the number of people that will attend the State fair from this place it is said that over 100 passes were received here in one day for railway employees who are making calculations upon attending. Who would think that Dennis Red mond would ever evolule into a newspa per man? Yet such is the fact. Since last June he has been getting out boom (?) editions for various Texas pa pers, and reports that a great country for the working of that sort of snaps. The meeting of the gun club to-night is one of especial interest to its mem bers, as the matter of ordering a now supply of birds, adoption of a constitu tion, and the purchase of a club. medal or trophy to be competed for monthly will be considered. A full attendance of the membership is desired. T. A. Fort returned Thursday morn ing from a visit to the State fair grounds in Omaha. He stated that the Pierce county people were the first upon the grounds with their exhibit, and were claiming that they would capture the first prize; but in his opinion they would weaken from their claim when they saw tho Lincoln county display. is e!ECONOMr Bx?$& TTi$im lair felg? nnsH We are the People who have The BEST FLOUR, The BEST COFFEE, the BEST TEA, The finest grades of everything in the Grocery Line in the City; always fresh and g.t pjices that DEFY COMPETITION' HARRINGTON & TOBIN. r- .

The Presbyterian, church extended an invitetiqto tntfiTnembers of the Kear ney Presbytery while hero5 to visit the lands'; under irrigation and see the results of-the artificial applica tion of wateas" shown by -the farms in this vicinity. The interest manifested by the delegates was sufficient to cause them to adjourn tho forenoon session Wednesday in order" -to accept. At 8 o'clock a. m. fifteen delegates took seats in carriages "furnished by Messrs. Dil lon, Hinmau, Hiller, Swarthout and Pal mer, and were driven oyer the following route: Through a part of the residence pprtion of North Platte; past the Cody residence to the Cody ranch, with a stop at ranch buildings, thence over a part of tho Cody lands now in corn, alfalfa, broom corn ana hay. From the Cody ranch they wero driven over the lands of Isaac Dillon. The trees, alfalfa, pota toes and corn were favorably commented upon, as was also the Cody & Dillon ca nal, Mr. Hilliker suggested that there was a watermelon patch in the vicinity but somo said, that perhaps the preach ers could find them. Without further delay several watermelons were collected and eaten. One of the delegates said he understood that fruit could not be raised in this vicinity. When told that it could be, he-said he would like to see it. They were then driven to the farm of H. Otten. Mr. Otten being at home, took them through his orchard, showing them thrifty apple, plum and pear trees and grapes of which thoy were invited to eat. All were highly pleased with the showing, as well as the courtesy shown them by Mr. Otten. The gentle man who had expressed the desire to see the fruit said' that he was well repaid for his trip if he saw nothing else. After leavirig the Otten farm the del egates were driven north and west past a number or ditch farms. They ex pressed themselves as highly pleased with the appearance of things in gen eral, and regretted the lack of time to make a more thorough examin ation of the results of farming by irrigation. Bemarkably Low Bate: Commencing next Monday night the Union Pacific' R'y will- put on sale for train No. 8 Tdund trip tickets to Omaha for the sum of So plus fifty cents for ad mission to the fair grounds.
