MINOR MENTION. A. F. Streitz is transacting business in Sutherland to-day. A. G. Tyler, for many years a .leading- citizen of Ogalalla, and well known in this city, has removed to ,. Muscatine, Iowa. J. A. Goodman "was in Ogalalla this week looking- for more cattle to eat up the immense corn crop on the Scout's Rest ranch. The supper announced to be given by the Presbyterian ladies ' " will be held on November 12th in stead of 14th. H. S. "White, the new manag- ing- officer of the First National Bank, has been spending- this week in town getting-acquainted with our people. Observer Piercy's weather reg ulator slipped a cog- last nig-ht, hence the disagreeable weather to day. Mr. Piercy will have the regulator adjusted as quickly as ""possible. A Mr. Hendy, who was years ago the government hay contrac tor for Fort McPherson, was in the city yesterday. Old time citizens say his personal appearance has seemingly not changed in a score of years. The reduced freight rate on hay to Chicago has proven quite a boon for hay men, as it enables them to find a market in that city which the former freight rate prohibited. To M. C. Harrington, of this city, is due much of the credit for obtain ing this reduced rate. Carpenter Simmons, without just cause, shot and killed The . Tribune's pointer dog last Tues day. Had Mr. Simmons held up the editor with a shot-gun and rob- bed him of ten or fifteen dollars the act would have been fully as justi fiable. The ladies of the M. E. church will give a chicken pie supper Fri day evening, Oct. 25th.

DeBERRY, DENTIST, Office in First Ntl. Bank Blclnsr. A telegram received from Max Beerthis morning -announced that the flumef the South Side ditch company across the South Platte river is completed and that water is now running through it. Thus is completed the most gigantic enter prise of its nature ever constructed in Nebraska. The Tribune con gratulates the officers of the South - Sicle ditch company. Judge J. S. Hoaglaud, of North Platte, has, by petition, secured the republican nomination for state sen ator for this senatorial district, to fill vacancy caused by the resigna tion of Senator Akers. Mr. Hoag land has the reputation of being an honorable upright gentleman and ..fully competent to perform -the duties that might be necessary in case the legislature should be called in "extra session. He is sure to be elected and will no doubt, by that . -reason, Nbe,a very prominent candi date for that position in '96-. Keith jConntv News. ; . Services may be .expected in the Baptist church next Sunday at the usual hours. - Joseph Schatz is to-day moving his stock of flour and feed to the store room now owned bv Max Einstein. Mrs. Golden, of the third ward, took her crippled daughter to Den ver yesterday morning for the pur pose of consulting Schlatter. The unterrified remnants of the Keith county democracy met in con vention last week, and while they did not nominate a ticket they made preparations for active work in the future. Recent word from Texas con veys the intelligence that .Mrs. J. Q. Thacker's cancerlias broken out anew, and that there is not much hope for her recovery. The ladies of tlie Lutheran church will hold their annual chick en and waffle supper on Thursday, Oct. 24th, in the Ottenstein build ing, formerly occupied by Mrs. Gil lette. The public is cordially in vited. , The Little Tycoon opera com pany, accompanied by a number of friends, left on No. 2 this, morning for Lexington. These people ex pected a very pleasant vtrip. They will return on No. 7 to-morrow morning. From October 4th to Oct. 16th Harrington & Tobin shipped fifty five cars of hay, the principal part of which went to the Chicago mar ket. Just at present there is a scarcity of cars and the shipments are not so heavy. The members of St. Paul's church, Council Bluffs, gave Rev. and Mrs. L. P. McDonald, late of this city, a reception one evening last week. The papers -say that Mr. and Mrs. McDonald have been very well received by the people of the church. Several thousand bushels of fine onions are being harvested by the ditch farmers. This is the first season onions have been raised on an extensive scale in this section, but if they prove a profitable crop the acreage next season will proba bly be very large. The yield is said to be from 100 to 400 bushels per acre, varying Avith the care taken in cultivation. The term of the pastorate of Rev. Graves will expire on Novem ber 1st, at which time the Baptist state convention meets, and he having offered his resignation as pastor of that church, has consent ed to supply the pulpit of the Pres byterian church for a time during the leave of absence granted Rev. Irwin. The accounts of respon sible people who settle their bills once a month .arev re spectfully solicited. We want your trade. HARRINGTON & TOBIN. The Buttermilk Maids. The Inter-state Milkmaids' con vention held at Keith's hall last evening was attended by about twenty delegates representing sev eral states and that province of Germany where the fin de siecle young maid wears wooden shoes. The spectators numbered about two hundred and they listened with much interest to the proceedings of this somewhat novel gathering. The delegates were jauntily cos tumed in natty gowns and each carried a milk-pail .and a small three-legged stool. As a curtain raiser, the initiation of Mary Ellen Lease into the first degree of Masonry was given, and created considerable amusement. The proceedings of the conven tion were of the usual routine na ture, namely, the adoption of reso lutions, election of officers and the, reading of reports by the delegates representing their respective so cieties. The proceedings through out were of an amusing nature, and seyeral "scraps", such as occur in populist political convention were only averted by the chair-maid's vigorous use of the gavel, which in this instance was a deep-tonedcow bell. Several letters of regret were received from noted persons an nouncing their inability to be pres ent, among them being the emi nent lady of the White House. M. C. Keith -generousty presented the convention with a check for $100, one-half of which was iavested in stanter in chewing gum. Two or three columns mijrlit be written in regard to this important convention, but The Tribune's lineotype is out of whack, hence this condensation. It is only proper to add that the ladies acquitted themselves very creditably, and Signet. Chapter O. E. S., under whose auspices the entertainment was given, scored ii success. ' At the close of theconvention dancing was announced, and for several hours the young portion of the audience enjoyed this pleasant recreation. Light refreshments were served on the stage during-the- Ed Morin left yesterday morn ing for St. Louis, to visitsonwho had met with a serious accident. On Monday last Mrs. " J. D.

Meeting begins at 7 o'clock. Speakers: Patterson; Wilcox and others. David Hunter has a field of sod corn on his ranch near Sutherland which will yield sixty bushels to the acre. It is unnecessary to add. that it was irrigated through thjs season. Fred Benson, the republican candidate for county surveyor, has been bus' for. some, time past in surveying the ditch to be construct ed in the Maxwell and Brady Island irrigation district He has also laid out a ditch for Mr. Dikeman near Hershey. N. Klein has been elected rand patriarch of the state encampment of state Odd Fellows and J. S. Hoagland grand representative to the soverign. grand lodge, Its a: chilly-day when North Platte Odd Felfqws are not honored with state, offices. ' The head-gate of the Paxton & Sutherland ditch is being widened thirty feet, and other improvements are being made thereto. With these improvements the owners of the ditch are confident thev will not be troubled with flowing sand next season.,. MisVBessie Snelling, formerly of this city, was married on Tues- daylast to. Dr. Frackelton.of Sheri dan, Wyo., the ceremony occurring at that place.

A stranger from the country complained to the police Wednes day that he""had been robbed of twenty dollars "the night before. He, had been induced to take a hand in a poker game.and being a novice spon lost his wad. The officer ac companied the fellow in a hunt for the other fellows who were in the game, but they could not be found. There is but one William Hoey, and he will be here with "The Globe Trotter" next Tuesday even ing. There is no mistaking Mr. Hoey's ability as a cbmedianTthere are none better on the stage to-day. His reputation is such that The Tribune feels like advising all of our citizens who like a humorous entertainment to attend the "Globe Trotters." Smoke Wright's Royal Sports and Havana Rose 5-cent cigars. Rev. Geo. A Ray,: of St. Paul, wili occupy the pulpit of the Pres byterian church on next Sabbath both morning and evening. Rev.

The arrangement committee of the fire department ball, which will be held orf the evening of the 31st inst., claim that it is the purpose to make' the coming dance one of the smoothest ever given in the city. The arrangements so far made in dicate that they expect to make good the claim. Prof. Garlichs' orchestra has been engaged for the occasion, and prior to the grand march will give a concert. The ;dan'ce will begin at nine o'clock and continue until daylight, thus offer ing every one an opportunity to dance to their heart's content.

I "THE GLOBE TB0TTEE." Bill Hoey, Old Hoss, and his own comoany, in "The Globe Trot- ter," will be at the opera house on Tuesday night, October 22d. There is a creat deal of life in "The Globe Trotter." Evidently the Chicagoans took to it immediately as the en srajrement was extended four weeks, Although the company is excep tionally good it remains a fact that William Hoey (Old Hoss) is the most amusing element iii the per formance. He is called the tramp and masquerades as a woman and an English lord, but he is really plain old Bill Hoey all the time. You cannot look at liim tor nair a minute and refrain from laughing, as he pervades the entire piece talking a little and singing a little in that extraordinary way of his asrainst all vocal laws and sans tune;sans time and sans everything, he amuses all the time. With Hoey on the stage almost all the time the audience is in no danger of 3Tawning or finding a dull moment, and to make matters still more cheerful, if possible, Hoey has urrounded himself with such peo pie as Frederic Bryton, M. A. Ken nedy, Louis DeLange, Burton Coll ver, R. T). Abbey, Mrs. Dion Boucicault (Louise Thorndyke). Miss Gerome Edwardy, Ada Alex andra, Hoey still sings "The Man who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo," and another song of like character entitled "I went to Paris with Papa," which bids fair to be come equall v- popular. All persons owing us old bills must now call and settle with cash or approved note. We want this outstanding money to enable us to dis count our bills and thus com pete "with cash stores.
