It is said that John Singleton will leave for Pennsylvania the early part of next month, and that upon his return a serenade by the cornet band would be appropriate. W. E. Price says that he fired both barrels ot his gun into a flock of wild ducks a day or so ago and killed fourteen. "Were it not that "William is a regular church attend ant his statement might be doubted. It is said that Tim Mahoney, the straight democratic candidate for judge of the supreme court, will visit tnis city the early part of next month and make a speech. Mr. Mahoney is a very fluent speaker. "Shorty" Davis describes a wonderful breed of hogs-he saw last week (not at the state fair), by say ing that "they could drink out of the bottom of Lake Michigan with out wetting their ej-ebrows." ; Those fellows who growl at the predictions made by the local weather bureau will '-please notice that the cold weather of Sunday was predicted two days in advance by observer- Piercy. If "tab" on Piercy's predictions is kept it .will be found that he is generally cor rect; more so than the forecasts made for this section by the . head office at Washington. The "Kicker" of the Era and the figure-head editor were both in attendance at the republican coun ty convention Saturda-, and we may expect the next issue of that paper to be burdened with "fake" accounts of the proceedings. But this is to be expected, and due al lowance will be made for the utter aaces of the boys in charge of the Era-tic sheet A heavy 'frost Sunday night played havoc with garden truck which was not protected. A force of workmen are cutting 600 acres of corn on the Codv ranch. The remaining thousand acres or so will be husked in the field. Gertler & Waltemath have rer cently had their business room re papered and painted, giving it a much improved appearance. The table set at the Nebraska House, under the new management, is first-class. Farmers when in town should patronize this hotel. Several large bags of teal were killed Sunday by local Nimrods.

Crabtree, of Myrtle, is in town to-day, having brought his wife to this place in order that she might take a train for a visit with Omaha friends. A couple of interested North Platte citizens last week in Omaha witnessed a speecimen ot terpsicho rean art which in naughtiness sur passed the danse du ventre. Frank Simpson requests us to state that those ducks shot by Lew Hastings last week made an excellent dinner. Simpson is look ing for another such a "lay-out." The members of the L. O. T. M. degree staff are earnestly re quested to meet for practice drill next Thursday afternoon, Sept. 26, at 2;30 o'clock. By order of Lady Commander. E. B.

The proprietor, Mr. Pizer, will spend that day in Den ver attending religious services. Go to Dr. W. A. DeBerry for fine dental work. Office in First Nat'l Bank B'ldg. The last of the Omaha visitors returned home Saturday night and North Platte is herself once again. Several barrels ot silver dollars were dropped in the Omaha slots by our people, but they all seem to think that tlfcy received an equiv alent. I. A. Fort returned Sunday morning from Albuquerque, N. M., of meeting congress. where he attended the the national irrigation He reports a very good time while away, but was not very favorably impressed with what he saw of New Mexico. The average resident of Nortli Platte is congratulating himself that Pennsylvania anthracite coal is selling on the local market at $10 per ton. which is about $2 less than usual. This decrease in price is, we believe, due more to a cut freight rate, than to the generosity of th.i Keystone state coal barons. Rev. James Leonard, . who has been presiding elder of the. North Platte district of the Methodist church, will undoubtedly be re-appointed to the office at the Kearney conference which is in session this week. Rev. Leonard is a vigorous worker, and it is conceded by all that he has made a successful pre siding elder. Home-made bread and pies at the Nebraska House. Ice cream and oysters arc also served at the same place in private apartments. Guy Boyer was arrested by U. P. policeman Sawyer Saturday night for using insulting language to a woman who was in the waiting room at the depot. Boyer was hauled before a court of justice on Monday morning and fined ?5 and costs. This will perhaps prove a lesson to those joung men who are in life habit of following the prac tice of which Boyer was adjudged guilty. Just as soon as official notice of the award on the county exhibits is received, the managers of the Lincoln county exhibit will send a protest to the board of managers of the state, fair. Embodied in this protest will be'the charge that but three of the counties making dis- plajs complied with the rule di recting that all exhibits be placed in position by a certain time. Lin coln county was one of the three. An effort made to see Supt. Barber and ascertain the attend ance at the city schools was fruit less j-esterday mainly due to the fact that Mr. Barber is a very busy man, usually eating his lunch whihj walking from one ward school to another and taking his sleep be tween the hours of three and six a. nu. .This rush will probably be over in a few days and the Professor vHl be able to give the newspaper men a few points in regard to the schools. The Choral Society will meet this Tuesday evening at the Guild house at the usual hour., Dick Forrest of Sidney was in town last week looking after his farm up on the ditch. Believing in the old saw that "a stitch in time saves nine," street commissioner Morgan is having the low places on Spruce street filled with dirt. High Mass was celebrated at St. Patrick's church in this city yesterday in memory of the daugh ter of James Moran who died in Iowa last week Prof. E. A. Garlichs has re turned and is now prepared to open his class in music. Any one think ing of taking lessons should see him iu regard to the same. S. A. Douglas Post G. A. R. held a very enjoyable camp-fire at the hall Saturday evening, quite a number of old soldiers from the country being present. The proposition to vote $275,000 in irrigation bonds will be sub mitted to the voters of the Lincoln and Dawson county irrigation dis trict on the 12th day of October. The Cody Guard will give their annual military ball on the evening of November 21st, the second anni versary ot the organization of the company. The boys will make the ball a very pleasant occasion. The members of the Episcopal church will give a farewell recep tion to Rev. and Mrs. L. P. Mc Donald at the home of Dr. Donald son next Friday evening. Mr. McDonald will deliver his farewell sermons to this parish next Sunday. --Both the Omaha Bee and the World-Herald say the decision of the judges on the county collective exhibits was a surprise to the peo ple. Of course it was; but some of the counties interested next year will know how to proceed in order to get a prize. The Choral Society will give a social and dance at Keith's hall on Thursday evening of this week, to which the general public is invited. The fact that this affair is under the auspices of the Choral Societ' is a guarantee that it will be very pleasant. Admission is placed at 50 cents. W. W. Scolt. the Sunday school missionary of the Kearney presbyter3 who has his headquar ters in this city, reports the work progressing nicely all over the ter ritory he covers. There aretwenty- oue counties in his district, and as might be imagined, he is on the go all the time.. The music at the Methodist church Sunday evening was a feat ure ol the service, the anthem by the choir and the solo by Mr. Bar stow being exceptionally fine. Mr. Barstow has a rich tenor voice, the tones being sweet and powerful, and he renders his music as only a cultivated singer can. The choir under his training is rapidly ac quiring a degree of proficiency that places them in the front rank of the choirs of our city. Come and hear them. The Gordon cornet band re turned Saturday from Omaha where it participated in the evening parades and in ever' instance was given the position of honor. AVith their elegant uniforms and excellent music the boys proved the head center of attraction, and were up roariously cheered by the crowd from one end of the line of march to the other. In fact the band re ceived nothing less tliau a popular ovation each time it appeared upon the streets. The Omaha visit has made a state reputation for the Gordon cornet baud, and we opine that in the future the organization will be in demand at all state gath erings. The gentlemanly conduct and bearing ot the members wbilp in Omaha won tor them many kind words. EVENING, SEPTEMBER 24, 1895.

Barnum received first and second prizes on his Wyandotte chickens and first prize on egg plant. P. G. Armbus, of this city, was awarded first premium for the best display of brooms.. -. The Board of Education has accepted a proposition from Prof. Garlich to teach music in the public schools free of charge to the Board. The Professor will teach one grade in each ward for one term and then change to another grade, thus giv ing instruction to all pupils. This is certainly very generous on the part of Prof. Garlichs, and under his instruction the pupils are sure to make rapid advancement. "The next time we go to the Omaha lair,'' said one of the man agers of the Lincoln county exhibit, "we will take a s'ack of rotten pota toes and $500 and we will be sure to get first prize." Such an insin uation is,perhaps a little broad, but that Lincoln county ' received a "yellow" deal from the judges who PEOPLE "WHO COME AND GO. passea upon me county coi.c.uvc exhibits 'ii admitted by all who vis itedtlie fair, and some are inclined to think that 'the judges were in fluenced by some "power" or else they were highly prejudiced against Lincoln countv because her pro ducts were raised by irrigation. Thousands of visitors expressed the opinion that our county was entitled to second or third prize, and yet these judges who probablj- are not competent" to pass judgment upon an agricultural display gave us ninth place. Though the judges gave Lincoln cdunty a rotten deal, it is pleasing to know that the dis play attracted more attention than any other at the fair, and that much good is certain to follow the advpr tising of the irrigated section re ceived through that medium. The gentlemen in charge ot our exhibit were kept busy every minute of the day answering questions propound ed by the interested spectators many of the . latter announcing their intention of visiting this sec tion. Though considerable expense was attached to making the display the countv will within the next year be well repaid in the way of new settlers who are sure to come. To those who had charge of the ex hibit the thanks of the people of this section are due, for they cer tainly performed their work faith fully and well. Dr. A. P.
