CITY NEWS.
v Farmers' institute to-morrow
and Thursday. The meetings
should be largely attended.
An eight pound boy baby was
born last week to Mr. and Mrs. M.
T.. Allura, now of Des Moines Iowa,
Dr. Aley, of Lincoln, may be
consulted at the Hotel Seville, in
North Piatte, Tuesday, Feb. 25th.
A number of the friends of A.
Pickard assembled Saturday night
at the family residence and several
hours were passed in social amuse
ments. Deputy revenue collector East
ham, of Broken Bow, is in the city
to-day checking up the cigar manu
factories. He is a friend of Ed
Davis.
Mr. and Mrs. Benj. Clinton re
joiced yesterday with exceeding
great joy over the arrival of a new
heir at the family residence upon
that date. Congratulations are in
order.
A sermon by the venerable Dr.
E. C. Hale, of Boston, at Unity
church, Omaha, last Sunday, was
a treat to some of people who hap
pened to be jn that city on that
day.
Henry Goodman , left to-day
for the Big Horn country. His un
cle, Col. W. F. Cody, accompanies
him, and will meet him at Grand
Island, from whence they will pro
ceed together.
This afternoon the matter of
the formation of the proposed Sub
urban irrigation district comes up
before the county commissioners.
In view of the large audience which
it is thought the proceedings will
attract the commissioners have de
cided to hold their session in the
court room.
Yesterday Judge Ray issued a
marriage license for Peter Johnson
to wed Miss Nora M. Polzel, both
of Dickens. The young lady is
under age, but the anxious groom
had the proper parental affidavit,
with the exception that it was ad
dressed to county clerk Burritt.
and to whom it was presented.
That gentleman referred him to
the proper judicial authority.
Yesterday deputy sheriff Keli
her went up to Birdwoodand ar
rested Heny Tilgner upon a charge
of unlawful cohabitation with one
Bertha Kirsch. Another warrant'
was served at the same time for
the larceny of a Winchester re
peating shot-gun, which the officer
recovered. The warrant for the
former offence was sworn out by
the defendant's wife.Mina Tilgner,
and the latter complaint was filed
by John Eheinheimer.
The fact that R. A. Douglas is
under arrest by a United States
marshal will be a source of surprise
to many of our readers, yet it is
nevertheless true. The charge is
one connected with the closing out
of the McGlone cigar stock about a
3rear ago.. This is a feature that
Mr. Douglas does not understand.
It seems queer to him that the gov
ernment should wait until within a
few days of a rear before begin
ning its action. Yet this is not a
remarkable record for slowness
upon the part of Uncle Sam. He
usually proceeds very deliberately.
The preliminary hearing wTill be
had next Tuesday before United
States commissioner Peniston, and
the defense will be represented by
Judge Grimes, who is cognizant of
the facts in the case.
For Sale and Rent, aboutl,000 acres

.Keith's hall was crowded last
evening to hear Prof. Garlichs'
class recital and the excellency of
the programme was deserving ot
the large attendance. The open
ing number was- by the North
Platte, and it of itself was a treat.
Following this were a piano solos
by May Yance, Anna Rebhausen,
and Lillian Hendy, violin solos by
Irma Cody and Anna Connors and
Prof. Garlichs, the latter being ac
companied by Miss YanCamp on
the piano. The next two numbers
were by the juvenile orchestra com
posed of Misses Connors, Cody,
Ottenstein, McGovern, Bristol and
Seyferth, and Masters Pool, Otten
stein and Fonda, with Gordon
Laing as bandmaster. The in
struments used were violins, man
dolin, guitars, triangle, tamborine
and piano. After a brief inter
mission Miss YanCamp jmd Prof.
Garlichs rendered a piano duet, Al-
vin. Pool a violin solo and Zella
Davis, Miss YanCamp, Irma Cody
and John Ottenstein piano solos.
The juvenile orchestra rendered a
double number and Frol. Lrarlicu a
violin solo. Illness prevented Mes
dames Harrington and Doolittle
from taking part in the pro
gramme. The recital was a suc
cess from start to finish, and re
flected great credit upon each per
iormer It demonstrated Prof.
Garlichs efficiency as an instruc
tor, a.ndhe lias reason to full proud
ot llie efforts "of his pupils. At

A new city marshal took up his
residence last Saturday -with Mr.
and : Mrs. W. R. Morgan. . The
youngster is of standard dimea
sions and weight.
The name of Wesley Tl Wilcox
has been mentioned in connection
with the nomination for mayor at
the coming municipal election. He
is a very popular gentleman and
would undoubtedly make an excel
lent mayor.
The jury for the March term of
the district court will not be called
to assemble until the third day of
the session, in order to give Judge
Kendall an opportunity to clear up
some unfinished business, left over
from the last term.
H. M. Weber and Joe Schatz
went out to Whittier precinct yes
terday to participate in the silver
wedding anniversary of John Bro
sius and wife. It is said that five
kegs of "Dutch courage" and trim
mings, afforded the spiritual re
freshment for the part'.
If The Tribune were publish
ing a naughty sensational sheet
like a certain Kansas City paper, it
would call the attention of the pub
lic to the individual who last Sun
day affected an entrance to the
upper part of a residence fiat b'
climbing up at the rear over coal
sheds and other outbuildings.
The meeting of the ladies aid
society of the M. E. church at the
home of Mrs. J. C. Piercy was large
ly attended, and a profitable and
enjoyable time was had by all. The
following officers were elected for,
this year: Mrs. Douglass, presi
dent; Mrs. Stoddard, vice-president;
Mrs. Besack, secretary; Mrs. Piercy,
treasurer.
The wheelmen's club will hold
a meeting on Friday evening for the
purpose of devising ways and means
to build a bicycle track at the fair
grounds. Gne of the plans con
templated, and which will probably
be adapted, is the giving of a huge
minstrel entertainment by home
talent in this city. These have
heretofore proven very profitable
exhibitions.

Mort Green who is now con
fined in the Lincoln county jaih is
making a study of the Bible. It is
an excellent occupation for him.
During his recent researches he
thinks he has discovered that polyg
amy . is the proper caper. He
should remember the experience of
elder Bailey and discard this
heterodoxy, or if desirous of prac
ticing its teachings should not
attempt it in this com m unity.
A new factory for the manu
facture of a patent bicycle saddle
has just been established at Buffalo,
N. Y. The new pattern will be
called the "Buffalo Bill" saddle in
honor of our illustrious townsman,
and to whom a one-fifth interest in
the profits of the concern have been
assigned in consideration of the use
of his name. Col. Cody has ordered
for each- member of the North
Platte ladies' wheel club anew sad
dle, which will be presented to. her
upon their arrival.
At the Nebraska department
meeting of tke G. A. R. held in
Omaha last week John E. Evans
was selected as one of the delegates
to attend the .national encampment
of the organization to be held at
Minneapolis, and T. C. Patterson
was selected by the new department
commander as judge advocate gen
eral for Nebraska, which was an
entirely unexpected honor for
that gentleman. Certainly North
Platte cannot complain of her treat
ment at the late encampment. Each
official selected is well fitted for the
duties of his respective position,
and will fill the same with credit
and dignity.
Never was there a more joyous
crowd assembled at Keith's hall
than vyas present on Friday night
to participate in the ladies' wheel
club ball. About forty couples
were present, the majority of whom
were masked in phantom costume.
Tlie ladies exercised their leap
year privilege of assuming the role
ol gay cavalier, and to this was
due much of the enjoyment of the
evening. After two numbers, the
masks were removed, and the iden
tity of the dancers was then first
made known, the similarity and
nature of the costumes making it
almost impossible to detect by
appearance" or movement the iden
tity of any one. For those of the
guests who were indisposed or un
able to "tread a measure" to the
merry music of Garlichs' orchestra,
the ladies provided game tables
upon the stage. These latter were
well patronized and, apparently as
much pleasure was experienced by
the participants as by those who
sought enjoyment in dancing.
At half past eleven an oyster sup
per, provided for by the ladies,
was served at the Vienna, after
whicli dancing continued for a
short time. Taken as a whole it
was a, great evening of pleasure,
and one that will fondly be relne.ra.'

on Spruce street Saturday evening.

At the state meeting in Omaha
last week of the W.R.C. Mrs. Annie
F. Church, of this city, was re
elected to the position of state
treasurer for that organization.
This is a very satisfactory way of
expressing approval of official con
duct, and one that is generallj7 ap
preciated by the beneficjar.

I urgently request all who owe

An alarm of fire about 12, o'clock
Saturday night called out the de
partment. It proved to be a small
blaze among some corn-fodder be
longing to A, M. Scharmann, over
in the Third ward. It was extin
guished without a .great deal of
damage occurring. Doubtless the
blaze was of incendiary origin.
It is said that a new non-partisan
newspaper will shortly be es
tablished at . Wallace by Charles
Soules, who was formerly connected
with the Wallace Star iu an editor -
ial capacity. He is a writer of more
than. ordinary ability, and will no
doubt make an interesting publica
tion. It is said the aspirant for
literacy honors will be called
-Soules' Tug."
A number of the friends of
Charley Leeder assembled last night
at the residence of Geo. Nauman to
assist in celebrating the fifty-ninth
anniversary of the birthday of the
first named gentleman. A very
pleasant and convivial time is re
ported by all those who were pres
ent.and the anniversary of Charley's
advent will be well remembered.

A North Platte economical citi
zen recently wrote to an advertiser
for a method of shaving without
either razor or soap. Here is the
formula received by him: "Sulphide
of barium, 50 parts; starch and
oxide of zinc, each "25 parts; mix
with water to a paste and in 10
minutes the hair will slip." There
is nothing said in regard to the
skin slipping at the same time.
M. H. McDermott, of Ash Grove
precinct, was yesterday observed
sporting an old-fashioned "butter
nut" breast-pin upon his vest. It
being suggested to him that per
haps some ex-soldier would relieve
him of the jewelry Mart said that a
great many of them would not know
what it was. In order to test the
accuracy of his statement the first
one approaching was interrogated
as to what he thought of the pin.
Sure enough he did not seem to
understand its former significance.
A horse attached to a single
buggy caused more excitement on
Sixth street Saturday than a siriall
sized cicus. The animal concluded
to make a little trip on its own mo
tion, and. accordingly started. It
deliberately loped across the street
and jumped in between a Missouri
team (a horse and a mule) and the
wagon to which it was hitched.
After brief struggles it quieted and
was extricated with considerable
trouble. No great damage was
done other than the breaking of a
shaft of the buggy.
THE PRESS BUREAU.
Ed. Tribune: The W. R: C. en
joyed three excellent reports of the
encampment at Omaha last Satur
day from the president, Mrs. Pat
tersou, and Mrs. Scharmann and
Mrs. Hine. The friends of Mrs.
Church will be pleased to hear that
she was re-elected department
treasurer by a handsome majority
for the coming year. Her books
were complimented very highly in
the manner which they had been
kept.'

THE LIGHTS THAT FAILED
to be visible last night at the regular
meeting of the city council were
aldermen Thomson, Johnson and
Scott. Iddings escaped with a tardy
mark, while sergeant-at-arms Mor
gan was sent out to try and bring
in a quorum, but only succeeding
in capturing councilman Da
L. C. Burnes. of St. Joseph, Mo.,
who is a nephew of ex-congressman
James N. Burnes, and a representa
tive of the American Waterworks
Co., was present for the purpose of
conferring with the aldermen upon
the proposed ordinance contemplat
ing a reduction ot water rates. . As
a majority of the councilmen -were
not present no business could be
transacted, out tne eveninjr was
spent in a desultory conversation
upon a great variety of subjects.
Mr. B. exhibited his diplomacy,and
in the language of the street gamiri
that he is "onto his job" by 4 warm
ing the "cockles" of Charley Id
dings' heart by a brief panegyric
upon McKinleyism, while insinua
ting to democratic maj'or Baker that
a sufficiency of revenue produce by
tariff legislation was a plenty. The
representative quietly compliment
ed councilman Fikes as apparently
filling Shakespeare's idea of a model
alderman. Taken as a whole the
embassador i6 a very polished gen
tlemen, and created a very favorable
impression upon the assembled
aTdermanic wisdom by his intima
tions of what his corporation would
do for North Platte. He will re
turn and be present at the first
regular meeting of the
council in March. A cynical critic
who was present last night inti
mated that he believed Mr. Burnes
political remarks'were most likely
for the sake of policy, as the proba
bility was that he was a democrat.
One of the humorous mistakes,
however, of the evening was that of
Mayor Baker, whothought the
grand young man now ostensibly
filling the editorship of the Era, was
the representative of the water
work corporation. Not for Joseph,
cU not yr Joe!
RAILROAD ROTATION.
The boys in the carpenter shop
are doing some nice joiner's work
these days.
Engine 1808 came in on No. 2
yesterday morning looking like-she
had encountered a small mud storm.
The 1813 is out of the back shop
and is now being broken in pre
paratory to being sent to the Fourth
district.
A steam shovel drawn by engine
1288 arrived in the city last night
and was sent on its way westward
to-day.
On account of dull business M.
McNamara was this week laid off
from his job of car repairing at Sid
ney, and has returned to this city.
A telegraph office clock was re
ceived at the freight depot the first
of the week, consigned to L. H.
Korty, chief of the telegraph ser
vice, for use at some station.
Yesterday the old Sidney turn
table broke down, and portions' of
the same were sent to this city to
be repaired. The old-styled table
is a little light for the locomotives
now used on the U. P. R'3.
Train No. 2 was about one hour
late out ot here this morning, aud
consequently two sections were
made thereof. A Miller hook had
been pulled out of one of the mail
cars which compelled the placing.of
it behind.
An evil Nemesis appears to at
i present be pursuing C. G. Hall. On
his first trip out after his recent
lay-off he succeeded in "jacking up"
the caboose of train No, 28 in the
Grand Island yards. Just who is
at fault is not yet known, although
the crew was called - into Omaha
from Grand Island.
"Dad" Hines had a little alterca
tion with some hobos up a mile or
so of Hershey one night last week
The tourists imagined that the U
P. was a government road, and that
as they were an infinitessimal por
tion of the aforesaid government,
they were entitled-to a free ride..
After the train was stopped they
were "persuaded" to desist in their
attempt.
At divers times and under various
circumstances the genial Tim Mo
Carthy, of the bridge and building
department, has endeavored to get
his name mentioned in The Tri-
uune, at times almost being willing
to pay a little somehting for the
privilege of seeing his cognomen in
cold tj-pe. To all these intimations
a deaf ear has generally beea
turned; yet upon this occasion an
exception must be made, and an
accident has happened to Tim
which must be handed down in
history to generations yet unborn
through the medium of the art of
printing. One day last week while
working on the repairs upon the
car repairer's headquarters west of
the Pacific hotel the individual
named had the misfortuueto almost
sever his thumb with an edged tool,
hence this paragraph.
Yesterday a number of changes
were noticeable about the offices in
this city, owing to the reduced busi
ness now being experienced by the
company. Chief dispatcher Hilliker
is now working the first "trick" in
the dispatchers" office, while H. E.
Cox, who was at the foot of the
class, takes the night office in this
city. Operator Vaughn displaces
Win. Jeffers at Sidney, who is
assigned to missionary work else
where. It is just like a row of
bricks. Knock down the first one
and all the others come tumbling.
At the freight depot Fred Baker,
the night check clerk, has been sus
pended and all the other intermedi
ate employes dropped back a notch.
In line with this. spasm of economy
it is said that John Baker, the night
engine 4herder," has been pulled
off, and now the gentlemanly pas--senger
brakemen will have" to pilot
their engine through the yards at
night the same as their fellow work
ers do during the daylight hours.
