THE NORTH PLATTE SEMI: WEEKLY TRIBUNE: TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10, 1895. CITY NEWS. . Art Plumer came up from Maxwell last evening to see The Fast Mail. W. T. Wilcox has been confined to the house for a couple ot days by sick ness. . N. Enright, of Brady Island, is transacting business in town to-day, as is also RusFowles of Maxwell. The county commissioners convened in session this morning and will do coun ty business for several days to come. Rev. li. P. McDonald, formerly ot this city, is said to be making excellent progress in his new field of labor at Council Bluffs. Train. No. 27 was reported wrecked at Kearney this morning, but details of the accident are megre at this time. H. M. Grimes will probably go to Sheridan, Wyo., this week to look after some legal business for Colonel Cody. A correspondent at Sutherland writes us that the merchants thero have 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 district court to-day to recover from Allum & Holtry the sum of 82,430.40. This is a debt which originated in the railldeal several years ago. That elegant display of holiday .goods in the Fair window is as pretty as it is tasteful. The Fair claims to be headquarters for Santa Claus aud this window indicates that the claim is cor rect. W. J. Crusen left to-day for Ogalalla and will assist Rev. D. W. Crane in revival services to be held in the Key stone ranch section. Both these gentle men are successful revivalists, and it is 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 best of it. At least Dick went home with less clothes than he had before the en counter, and also with the dog's teeth 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. .Dr. A. P.

Goodman Many of the gentlemen selected and recommended as delegates are largely interested in irrigation enterprises in this county and form a fine delegation. Mayor Baker could not have made better selections. In addition to these dole gates, quite a number of other citizens have signified their intention of attend ing the convention. 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 to be a forerunner of the second coming of Christ, has been in town for several days. He claims that the Lord will ap pear on earth in three years from this date, and that his (Taylor's) mission is 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. On only one occasion when Buffalo Bill gao his "Prairie "Waif" did a larger crowd assemble at the opera house to witness a show than was present at ''The Fast Mail" last night. Extra benches were placed on the floor, and every seat in the gallery was occupied. Tho scenic effects were the best ever produced on a North Platte stage; especially fine was the Niagara Palls scpne. Tho acting throughout was about up to the average, and taken as a whole the playjwas highly appreciated by the audience. An advisory board of the Children's Home Society was organ izad by Mrs. M. E. Quivley of Omaha, at tho Methodist church Sunday. ' The object of this organization is to find homes for the homeless children. Twd members of the board was selected from each protestant church of the city, and the board fully organized by the selection of F. E. Bol lard as president, John Sorenson vice president, Mrs. II. M." Grime3 secretary and Mrs. C. I. Adams treasurer. A mooting of the board has been called at the Y. M. C. A. rooms for Thursday even ing nest A Maiden's Dream of Christmas.

DIAMOND. GOLD, SILVES, PLATED, JEWELRY. CLINTON, The Jeweler. The state fish commission will ex hibit twenty cars of fish at tho Sidney irrigation convention nest week. The concert last Thursday evening netted the K. P. lodge So7.ll, which is evidence that it pays to "rustle." John W. Wood returned Sunday from Omaha, where he had been receiv ing medical treatment for about two weeks. Peckham,. of Peckham precinct, broke out of its corrall last week and has yet been recovered. no! An especially floe dramatic and musical program is being prepared for the entertainment of those who attend the Bazaar and Supper at Lloyd's on the 16th and 17th inst. The members of "The Fast Mail" company carry four thoroughbred grey hounds with them, and yesterday they went up to Pallas with the dogs for a jack rabbit chase. City Clerk Murray, of Cheyenne, has been in town for several days and has accompanied several local sportsmen in their quail hunts. Last Sasturday he went to Maxwell with Messrs. Barnum, Graves, Hostler, O'Neill and others and did his share toward killing about seventy-five of the birds. THE "CHRISTMAS" CANTATA. The cantata "Christmas" will be rend ered at Keith's hall Monday evening, Dec. 23d, under the auspices of the Pres byterian Sunday-school.. This cantata, with its pretty costumes and bright music, is pronounced tho best of its class and its production on the 23d will be of 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 grown children. The price of admission is fifteen cents, the object being to secure just about sufficient money to cover the cost of the costumes, music and other incidental expenses. Card of Thanks.

The "Tornado" is booked at" the opera house for the evening of Dec. 23d. The company is under the same manage ment as ''The Fast Mail," which' pleased the audience last evening. Miss Clara Rankin goes to Sidney this week to take charge of a photograph gallery to be opened by our townsman W. H. Broach. Miss Rankin is a finished photographer aud will undoubtedly please the people with her work. Phil Lonergan conducted a mask ball at the opera house UTiaay whicn was fairly well attended. . The prizes offered for the best costumes were won by Miss Swaighert and Ed Frioud. The dance was very much enjoyed by those present. Two of our citizens will deliver ad dresses at the state irrigation convention at Sidney next week. E. F. Seeberger. will offer "Suggestions on construction and operation of canals," and W. L. Park will speak of "Fruit under Irrrigation." We can assure the convention that these talks will be practical and to the point. During the past week a half dozen persons have called nt this office and in quired for vacant houses. The fact is, there are uo desirable houses in town vacant and all fiats in business blocks are occupied. This is a condition of affairs that speak well for our city. 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. o Cash is an inducement to us Are prices toyou-? --. Tlpisou & Stfarthout PEOPLE "WHO COME AND GO. Mr. and Mrs. Lu Farrinaton went to Omaha yesterday morning. Mrs. C. S. Clinton and children and Miss Lottie Kusterer leave next wook for Grand Rapids, Mich. Mrs. Annie F. Church returned the latter part of the week from a visit with friends in Omaha and Lincoln. Mrs. Lester Eells leaves in a few days for Council Bluffs where she will remain until after the holidays. Attornev Marshall, ot Hebron, is in town to-day looking after collections for an implement house ho represents. Robert Peale and bride arrived in the city last night from Shenandoah, Iowa, and are receiving tho hearty congratu lations of acquaintances. Dr. Aley, the Lincoln special ist, may again be consulted at the Hotel Neville, North Platte, Wed nesday, Dec. 18th. 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, etc , having been niekle-plated at Mr. White's expense. It is said that tho directors of the Pennsylvania railroad have been assured by an electrical expert that they dan save $5,000,000 a year in coal bills by ncinrr an Alpnt,r5f mfitnr FW1 with ii cur- 0 rent produced by a gas engine. As at the last; test an electric engine drew the heaviest load ever drawn by a single locomotive, practical railroad men- are beginning to think that they may be a great deal closer to a revolution than'j they expected ajjear ago. W. J. Roche is as hapyy as a clam at high tide. The painters' have been at work for several days repainting the interior of the engine and tool room tho quarters m which Mr. Roche reigns as an undisputed monarch and every thing looks as neat as a pin. The big air compressor, under the artistic hand of Fred Weingand, is now a thing of bpauty and runs as smoothly as a hoi knife through a roll of butter. Tho tool Solves have been re-arranged and en larged, thus giving moro floor space. The boys sny that hereafter Roche, will expect them to tak,e.off their caps when onteriug the tool room. 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.
