The latter expects to join the hunting party which leaves here to-morrow morning. Teeth can be extracted at Dr. Mor rill's dental parlors without any pain to the patient. It is said the promoters of the pro posed bridge across the North Platte river north of Nichols will meet with considerable opposition from certain residents of the territory which is em braced in the recently formed precinct M. H. Durham, ofWhittier, trans acted business in town yesterday as did also Cecil Tuell, of Somerset. Both are staunch republicans and they brought gratifying political news from their re spective precincts. It may not be generally known that Mrs. Anna R. Woodbey, one of the pro hibition nominees for regents of the state university is a colored woman, yet such is a fact. She is a woman poseess, ing an excellent education, and if elec ted, which of course she will not be, would fill the position with credit. Unless Paxton & Hershey file a mo tion for a rehearing of the irrigation case lately decided by the supreme court, the Farmers' & Merchants' company will probably finish the construction of its canal this fall. The plaintiffs have forty days from the date of the decision in which to file a motion, and this time ex pires about the 5th of November. Miss Anna Dick, who has b66n vis iting her brother Dr. F. N. Dick, for Beveral months, leaves Monday for home in Greensboro, N. C. She will be ac companied by Miss Tena Dick and John Weir. The latter will visit a month in North Carolina and then go to Atlanta, Ga., to attend, the exposition for two or three weeks. You can have your artificial teeth reset for $6 at Dr. Morrill's. On Friday evening of next week the local company which produced the Little Tycoon several weeks ago will go to Lex ington and give the opera. The full strength of the company and the orches tra will go, and the people of our neigh boring town will, we? believe, feel satis fied with the entertainment. At the close of the opera, it is the intention to give a social dance. About twenty per sons, other than members of the com pany, have signified their intention of going, and others who may wish to go should soe Prof. Garlich in regard to reduced railroad fare. A rehearsal of the opera will be held at Lloyd's opera house next Monday evening. The en tertainments given under the direction of Prof. Garlich are always enjoyable, and the Lexington people who attend are sure to feel satisfied. Br. Sawyer Dear Bir: lean say witk pleasure HMt'I kave beea asi&g year sedieiBe, aad "rill rec-fmw-r-' it to all safferlag ladles. Mrs. W. W. Wsrtkt-rafaw, JLwjpitB, Ga.

A pleasant card party was held at the Austin residence on Tuesday even ing last. W. H. McDonald is improving the appearance of his residence by having it repainted. N. L. Newman has just had com pleted a 12x14 addition to his residence in the Third ward, Circle Hill precinct will cast a straight republican vote. Other pre cincts will vote almost as unanimously. Rev. Graves, of the Baptist church, will preach in the Presbyterian church next Sabbath morning. The church will be closed in the evening. Probably in anticipation of a scar city of Wyoming coal during the winter months, the local dealers are laying in a very liberal Bnpply at present. Dr. F. J. Morrill has secured the Dr. Mueller's (of Berlin) painless extraction of teeth. This method is perfectly harm less. McMichael JbBogue havejopened a confectionery and tobacco store in the Baker building on Front street, formerly occupied by Mrs. Jennie Armstrong. C. C. Hawkins, of Wellfleet, has 2,000 bushels of potatoes which a local merchant pronounces the finest he has seen for years. They were raised with out irrigation.

A rumor got Out on the streets yes terday afternoon that "Warren Lloyd had been run over by the switch engine, and his many friends were much exercised until the found the rumor untrue. The advertising paper for the "Globe Trotters" arrived yesterday and is being distributed. This company, whicb is booked for the 22d, will probably be one of the best we will have this season. I have two baby carriages left will sell the $13 for S8, the $23 for S12. C. M. Newton. This weather, remarked Observer Piercy yesterday, is some of my own brand, and if it satisfies the people they can have more of it. We can assure Mr. Piercy that the brand is satisfactory. It is 6aid that the local pops have bired a professional politician from Omaha to come to this city and do poiit cal worts.. If thia is true, it shows to what desperate straits the populists are driven. Quite a large quantity of farm pro duce has been collected for the display to be made at the Corn Festival at the opera house this evening. This enter tainment promises to be both novel and pleasing. Guy A. Lamg came down from the ranch a day or two ago. He. and Mrs. Laing celebrated their twentieth wed ding anniversary last evening by giving a party to a number of young people. Hans Hanson is building a 16x24 ad dition to his residence on the north side of the river.

Take seats near the front. R. A carload of baling wire was received at this station yesterday which is evi dence that there is yet considerable hay in this vicinity to be baled. The revenue received from the hay crop of Lincoln county this year has amounted to many thousands of dollars. Pale, thin, bloodless people should ee Dr, Saw yer's Ukatlne. It is the greatest remedy in the world for making the weak strong. For Bale by F. H. Longley. A report was received yesterday afternoon to the effect that a two-foot wall of water was coming down the channel of the South Platte river. Claus Mylander was in town at the time the report was received, and immediately started for the South Side ditch flume to warn the workmen to be ready for this volume of water which might displace that part of the flume upon which quite a force of men are at work,if the neces sary precaution was not taken. Pale, tkln, bloodless people should nfe Dr. Saw yer's TJkatine. It is the greatest remedy in the world for making the weak strong. For sale by F. H. Longley. Advertised letters.

Persons calling for above will please say "advertised." M. W. Claie, Postmaster Isaac ?Dillon had a foot somewhat bruised this week by having a horse step upon it. That mechanical tiger in the Fair store window is quite an attractive ad vertisement. It is understood that Rev. A. W. Graves will fill the pulpit at the Presby terian church during the six months' leave of absence granted Rev. Irwin. McDonald, the grocer, is handling the celebrated Doulton English china ware, and tells all about it in an adver tisement printed on our first page. Rev. G. H. McAdam, formerly of this city, who has been stationed at Grand Island for several years, has been transferred to Deadwood, S. D. It is said tho potato crop up on the ditch will be somewhat light this year. The light yield is supposed to be due to the quality of the seed used by the growers. Lynn S. Edwards, of Omaha, repre 6enting the Smith Premier typewriter, called on our business men Wednesday. several or these typewriters are in use in this city. Mrs. H. S. Boal is expected down from Slack, Wyo., the early part of next week, and later in the month, in com pany with her mother, will leave for Atlanta, Ga. John Pitt, the veteran fishorman, is still meeting with much success in catching pike in the north river. Last Saturday his catch was fifty-four, and on the Thursday previous he caught thirty -one pounds. A. u. Wright has. moved his cigar factory to the south room iu the Mc Donald block, and in connection with his factory will retail cigars, tobacco and smokers' articles. The location is a good one and the young man will no doubt re ceive a liberal patronage. Mrs. J. E. Baker, who was taken to Chicago ten days ago to have a trepan ning operation performed, is said to have stood the operation well. Mr. and Mrs. Baker will go from Chicago to Wisconsin where they will remain for a month or more. It is said that four men are now regularly employed by Judge Neville to work in his interest in this city, hoping thereby to keep H. M. Grimes' majority in North Platte below 200. We are afraid the Judge will have to increase his force in order to accomplish the de sired result. A Mountain and Plain Festival will be held at Denver on the 16th, 17th and 18th of this month, and the Union Pa cific announces a rate of 6.50 for the round trip from this city. Tickets will be on sale Oct. 14th and are good for re turn until the 20th. Paxton & Hershey aro widening the headgate of their canal seventy-five feet, making the total width 125 feet. They will also construct a 400-foot wing dam. With these improvements they hope to have abundance of water next season. The North Platte ditch com pany is also making, or will make, ex tensive improvements to its headgate and dams. To-morrow morning a hunting party composed of Messrs. Graves, O'Neil, Woodhurst, Dalson, Schott, Wilson. Herrod, Dietz, TatTe and two or three others leave the city for a duck hunt in Arthur county. The party will take four teams with which to haul their camp equipage, which among other things includes four boats. The section which they visit known as the lake country is one which abounds with water fowl at this season of the year." The boys will remain in camp until the 28th inst. The annual ball of the North Platte Fire Department will be given this year with unusual splendor, and being the first public ball of the season will un doubtedly be largely attended. This is about the only way the boys have of re plenishing the exchequers of the four companies, and its a mighty mean citi zen who will not give up the price of a spectator or dance ticket. The date of the ball has not yet been announced, but we presume it will be, as usual, on All-Hallow E'en night, October 31st.

Mr. Murphy is a brother- in-law of Pearl Armbua At a meeting of the Second ward hose company "Wednesday evening a committee was appointed to confer with the foremen of the other hose teams with regard to ways and means of secur mg new hose, which the firemen claim is badly needed. It was suggested that a committee representing the entire de partment solicit subscriptions from the business men with which to purchase this needed hose. But in soliciting cash donations from business men, the depart ment will be applying for aid from the the duty of the wrong source. It is 7r.Z:ZZ::Z may need, and it is the duty of the coun- cil to see that such is provided. The chief or his assistant should appear be fore the council and make a statement of the condition of the 1500 feet of hose now in use, and if he clearly demon Btrates to the members of the council fVinf mnro Vn.s. t ? A ' it cessfui fighting of fire it is quite Prob- able that the needs will do supplied The business men are willing to help pay for the hose, but they believe that their contributions should be made in the shape of taxes, which distributes the burden upon all benefitted by reason of having a fire department. If the coun cil is arbitrary in the matter, then let the department invoke the aid of the business men. The business men are men are all friendly to the fire department and are willing to grant any reasonable re quest or lend financial aid, but to ask them to purchase hose, when it is the duty of the council bo to do, is too great a demand. .Let the boys take the mat ter before the council, and The TainujiE assures them its support and the sup port of the business men if their claims and demands are just "WHEATLAND, WYO.
