A correspondent at Sutherland

adopted the cash system, and as a result
goods are being sold somewhat cheaper.
Frank L. "Williams, the editor of
the daily Record, became the papa of a
big boy baby Sunday. Here's hoping
that he may prove as good a man as his
dad.
Tom Hughes, who came down from
Rawlins a week ago to recuperate his
health, is improving . and will probably
soon be able to return and resume his
work.
We learn that the teachers' meeting
held at Brady Island last Saturday was
quite well attended and that the pro
gramme rendered was especially inter
esting. A new kind of "green goods" cir
cular is being sent into the country by a
gang of New York swindlers. Each
circular is accompanied by a genuine
dollar bill as a "specimen of their work."
John Bratt began an action in the

This is a debt which originated in the

window indicates that the claim is cor
rect. W. J. Crusen left to-day for Ogalalla
and will assist Rev. D. W. Crane in

likely much good will result from these
meetings.
The city was full of commercial
travelers yesterday and they did some
tall hustling for business. Six repre
sentatives of grocery and provision
houses tackled Jim McDonald at one
time, but he came out of the ordeal in
good shape.
.with M. C. Keith's mastiff a few days
ago and the dog seems to have had the

marks on one of his legs.
A dozen members of the Cody Guard
took part in the target shooting held at
the range Saturday afternoon. The
best score was made by lieutenant
Jeffrey, with John Davis second and
Dave Scott third. Three hundred yards
was the distance at which the boys shot.
LA. Fort is not seeking a re-elec
tion as president of the state irrigation
asfociation with any great avidity, yet
he will accept if the people wish him io
continue at the head. It takes much
time and the expenditure of considerable
mouey to push irrigation matters as Mr.
Fort has done during the past two years
and to receive nothing therefore but
honor, aud not much of that, is hardly a
fair deal. And yet it is not likely the
association will favor paying any . officer
a salary.
Gus O'Grosky, of Cottonwood pre
cinct, who was charged with assault by
Wm. Baly of the same precinct, had his
trial before Judge Ray yesterday and
was discharged. The two men had some
words over the tresspassing of stock, and
Baly summoned members of his
family to help "clean out" CGrosky.
The latter picked up a revolver and
prepared to defend himself. The quarrel
was immediately settled at that time,
and O'Groeky handed over the revolver
to Baly. Later Baly hnd a warrant
issued for O'Grosky's arrest on the
charge of assault, and the . matter ter
minated yesterday as abovo stated.
The proposition to hold a district
fair in this city is meeting with favor
among residents of adjoining counties.
Matt Daugherty, of Ogalalla, says it is
an excellent scheme and will interest
others in the project. It is also favored
by one or two enterprising men in Chey
enne county. We suggest that the
North Platte delegates to the irrigation
convection at Sidney next week make it
a point to put in a word for the fair
whenever and wherever possible. The
convention will be largely attended by
people from the irrigated district, and
will therefore be an excellent place to
talk up the matter.

The annual mask ball of the local
tribe of Red Men will be held on the
evening of January 17th. For two or
three years past this annual mask ball
of the Red Men has been the leading
amusement and social event of the winter
season, and is looked forward to with
much pleasure by both those who like
the dance, and those who attend as
spectators.' The ball is already in the
hands of the several committees and it
is safe to predict that the coming mas
querade will be equal if not superior to
those given in the past by the Red
Men. As usual, some taking farce
will be rendered on the stage prior to
the grand march. A meeting of the
general committee will bo held this week
at which the arrangements will be moro
fully completed.

There is some little talk among in
terested ones of organizing an irrigation
district and voting bonds to complete the
ditch on the south side. Just how
unanimous this feeling is, we are not
prepared to say. It is likely the matter
will be considered at the annual meeting
of the ditch company to be held on Jan
uary 7th.
Geo. Taylor, of Callaway, who claims

pear on earth in three years from this

to prepare the people for the advent.
Taylor served a term in the penitentiary
for hog stealing, but claims he was
falsely imprisoned, and it was during
this confinement that he received his
inspiration from tho Creator.

ered at Keith's hall Monday evening,

such nature as to please the audience
and call forth applause.
There are about thirty-five in the caBt
included in which are the members of
the Presbyterian choir and a number of

just about sufficient money to cover the
cost of the costumes, music and other
incidental expenses.

The frequency of snow storms so far
this season must prove oncouraging to
the dry farmer. The ground is now in
a more moist condition than it has been
at this season of the year, for several
years past. It the snowfalls continue
during the remainder of Che season a
crop of small grain is virtually assured.
The Council Bluffs Nonpariel con
tained the following item relative to a
young Jady well known to many North
Platte people: Miss Charity Babcock
has successfully served her probation at
the Johns Hopkins hospital in Baltiraoro
and has been accepted for a two years'
course of training as a nurse. Tfo less
than ten of the class who entered with
her were refused admittance, having
failed to meet the rigid requirements.
Miss Babcock is increasingly fond of her
work and promises to make a great suc
cess. Major Dill passed the seventy-second
mile stone on life's journey last Friday
and in tho evening quite a party of
friends assembled to congratulate the
Majot and wish him many returns of tho
day. The Major takes some pleasure in
the fact that ho is more spry at seventy
two than many men are at fifty. Indeed-one
seldom sees a better preserved
man than is Major Dill, and as one of
his personal friends and admirers, The
Tribune hopes to be ablo to record his
birth anniversary for" a score of years to
come.
Geo Carter luckily escaped the cruel
wheels of the fast freight Sunday after
noon as it rolled int the yards. Ho was
speeding his pony up Front, street, and
turned to cross the track at tho west
crossing, over which the train was pass
ing. Tho speed of the animal
great that he did not have time
her until she crashed into the moving
train; but fortunately struck a car side
ways, rebounded from the blow and
escaped. The animal's shoulder was
badly bruised, George escaping injuries
further than getting a violent shaking
up.

RAILROAD ROTATION.
Conductor McKeown returned the
latter part of tho week from Illinois. -
Eugine 684, Wood White's favorite,
has been taken in tho shops for some
heavy repairs. The interior of the cab
of this engine is, very smooth,the guages,

great deal closer to a revolution than'j
they expected ajjear ago.
W. J. Roche is as hapyy as a clam at

work for several days repainting the
interior of the engine and tool room

Solves have been re-arranged and en

The boys sny that hereafter Roche, will
expect them to tak,e.off their caps when

THE CUBAN MEETING.
The meeting at the court house Fri
day evening for the purpose or discuss
ing tho Cuban quostion was largely at
tended! and proved verv interesting. I he
meeting was called to order by W. G
Elder, who acted as chairman, and tho
following was introduced by W. C. Mill
thorpo:
Whereas, the people of the island of
Cuba are now lighting for their hbertv
from the oppressive and overbearing
government of Spain, and that we as
citizens of the United States of Ameri
ca, realizing the great help we received
during the dark days of tho revolution
by the recognizing of our mfantRepublic
by the French Empire, and believing
that our Nation above all others, from
our position and standing among the
Nations of tho earth, should be the first
to recognize, encourage and assist this
people striving to throw off the bond of
1 potical slavery and therefore bo it
"Resolved, that we as as citizens of the
United States earnestly petition our
sonators and representatives in congress
to use all the means in their power to
secure a speedy recognition of the Cuban
insurgents asbelligerents by tho United
States of America.
H. S. Ridgley then took tho floor in
support of tho resolution and mado si
very creditable speech. Ho was followed
by Frank Edmonds, who opposed the
adoption of the resolution, and presented
some- strong points. Fred Elliott, jr.,
took a neutral position and gave an in
teresting talk. Tfttse three young men
are members of the I. L. A. and it was
previously arranged that they should
take the respective- positions they
espoused. Other speeches were made
by Judge Hoagland, M. A. Daugherty,'
T. C. Patterson and G. E. French, all of
whop supported the resolution.
The resolution was then put before
the house for adoption and carried with
out a dissenting voice. The resolution j
has been forwarded to our representa- !
lives at Washington.
This meeting was held through tho
efforts of the members of the Iiyceum
League and the interest they took in tho
meeting is to be highly commended.
The young men composing the local
league are bright and progressive, and
we trust they will in the near future
take up other questions of such interest
as the Cuban affair.
