THE NORTH PLATTE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 27, 1896. CITY NEWS. Ethel Fenwick is critically il with a complication of diseases. The largest assortment o spring- capes ever seen in North Platte may be found at the Fair Store. George Washington Jones wen to Julesburg this morning- where he will do service with the pile driver outfit. The exterior of the Hingston house on west Fourth street is be inir repainted. An addition is also being built to the barn. News reached the city last evening of the death yesterday M. Ritnour, a wel north o morning of TV. residing known farmer Brady Island. The walks in the court-house yard are being refilled with cinders to-day, in accordance with instruc tions given the county clerk by the commissioners. All members of the A. O. U. W. are requested to meet at the hall at one o'clock Saturday afternoon for the purpose of attending- the funeral of John Hawley. John Lemasters, who has already demonstrated his ability to build first-class bicycles, is now at work on one for Oscar Hugh He has orders for several others. Stockholders of the Mutual' Buildinsr and Loan Association are reminded that the annual will be held at the court house to morrow evening at eight o'clock. The Tribune is fnformed that the sewer to carry off the waste water from the round-house will run south to the east end of of the depot and there connect with the hotel sewer main Harry Fikes authorizes The Tribune to state that he is not a candidate for councilman on the "reform"' ticket as published in the Bra nor any other ticket. "Col onel" Fikes has had sufficient "glory." r Work on the bicycle track is progressing rapidly, and the wheel men who went up this morning to inspect the work were highly pleased with it so far as it has progressed. The grading is being performed by H. F. Ivellner. The members of the Eastern Star gave one of their enjoyable socials at the hall last evening-Among- the musical numbers rend ered was a- ladies' quartette that elicited many complimentary re marks. As usual, seasonable re freshments were served. C. L. Adams informs The Tri bune that he is not a candidate for city clerk, and authorized no one to make such an announcement. The "reform" ticket hoisted by the Era in today's issue does not seem to be any more reliable than that paper's editorial utterances. Poor Joe. The Ladies of the G. A. R. ten dered Mrs. Laura Smith a surprise party on Wednesday evening- which resulted very pleasntly to all parti cipants. Card g-ames were the principal features of entertain ment. Seasonable refreshments were served prior to the hour of de parture. Rev. J. C. Irwin has leased the C. E. Osgood farm south of the city, and is now moving- his house hold goods thereto. Mr. Irwin spent a day plowing-recently and felt excellent in the evening, an in dication that farm life will prove beneficial to his health. We earn estly hope that this move made by him will result in a complete restor-. ation of his health. The Gordon cornet band sere naded Colonel Cody Wednesday evening, and after playing several selections the members were invited into the house and served with elaborate refreshments. The ju venile orchestra, under the leader ship of Prof. Garlich, was also present and rendered very nicelv several selections. Those present highly enjoyed the hospitality of Colonel and Mrs. Cody. The Fair Store has spring capes in silk, broadcloth, plush and other kinds too numerous to mention. The members of the Methodist Aid Society to the number of thirty five, were entertained yesterday afternoon by Mrs. E. S. Davis, as sisted by Mrs. Hartman and Mrs. Piercy. The ladies devote a couple of hours to sewing, and are then served with refreshments furnished by the ladies who entertain. A charge of ten cents is made each member for the refreshments, the money thus received going into the treasury of the society. The distinguished journalist (accent on the distinguished) is wasting much space in his Valuable Paper by boosting James Belton for mayor and "roasting" The Tribune. Mr. Belton will not be elected mayor, and The -Tribune man cares nothing tor the "roasts". The distinguished journalist should give all his time and space to bolstering up the populist count' administration, for which services he is to receive $1,500 of the tax payers' money. M. C.

M. C. A. at the Methodist church Sunday afternoon will be "An Ex egesis on Sanctification." Dr. F. J. Morrill left this morn ing for Gothenburg on professional business. The Doctor visits that town twice a month and has been having- a good patronage. Coroner Donaldson went to Sutherland yesterday to inquire into the details of the death of John Hawley. He did not deem a coroner's inquest necessary. At a meeting of the Episcopal vestry last evening arrangements we're made for repainting the church and rectory and for other improvements to and around the church property. Hans Gertler received a tele gram last evening announcing the illness of a relative at Wilber. and accompanied by Mrs. Gertler and Mrs. Wm. Landgraf left for that place last night. Reports from the country pre cincts are to the effect that there is great activity among the farmers. The crop acreage in Lincoln county this year will be very large, not withstanding the abandoned farms. -The Tribune will not issue a daily edition, neither will it attempt o compete with the two sprightly dailies of the city in furnishing ocal matter. The Tribune will, lowever, continue to furnish a ood general newspaper twice a week for $1.25 per year. -The Lexington Patent Flour is warranted to please. Cecil Tuell, who travels over a j-ood part of the county, says he notices that quite a number of armers who left a year or so ago have returned to stay. Mr. Tuell also savs that the farmers seem much encouraged over the prospects or this season and will farm ex en si vely. TV. C. Elder received an anony mous letter today in which the writer says that Mr. Clinger, an old soldier living in the Third ward, is very sick and that the nurse m charge is making efforts o secure the sick man's property oy inducing- Inm to make a will. Anonymous letters are not gener ally worth considering;, but the matter mentioned in this one may be investigated by the old soldier riends of the sick man. -When James Belton was mayor 11 1878 the streets were given very ittle attention, and in 1880, when he writer first came to North Platte Spruce street was nothing less than a mudhole from one end to the other. Iu front of what was tlipn Mr. Belton's store, there was a pool of stagnant water about sixty by forty feet which the residents ermed "Belton's lake." If the ad ministrations of to-dav paid no i. ' more attention to keeping up the streets than did the Belton admin istration, there would be a balance in the treasury at the end of each fiscal year. Beginning with the year 1882 the citizens demanded better streets, and since then the roadways have been improved each year, in making these improve ments a good-part of the citys indebt edness was contracted; the remain der of the debt is due to the fact he revenue derived is not sufficient to maintain tue rental for street hydrants. Mr. Belton will hardly attempt to contradict the statement that during-his administration there was not a graded street in the city, and that in wet weather they were all nigh well impassable. pring Stock of Furniture arriving, 1896 designs, and cheap, too.
