Tours for a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year, - THE WILCOX DEPARTMENT STORE. - NORTH" PLATTE, NEBRASKA. "i Red Men's Masquerade Ball Juarr22ri69fc One of the switching crews in the Union Pacific yards was pulled off yesterday. For want of patronage the TTnrdin temoerance billiard hall has been closed. There is considerable sickness among- children in the city. Few nf flip rases, however, are of a se rious nature. W.H. C. Woodhurst is helping out the clerical force in the county treasurer's office, the work being greater than the regular employes can perform. Deputy Sheriff Keliher returned yesterday from Cheyenne where he went for the purpose of obtaining some evidence connecting John Cur- tin with the Einstein store rob bery. All the school children are in vited to the good lecture on the Yosemite Valley" at the opera house this evening. They will not need any tickets, but will be ad mitted for a nickel. District court adjourned Wed nesday until the 15th inst., when Judge Grimes will preside. Judge Norris left for his home in Beaver Citv the same nierht. His work j w "on the bench has been highly com plimented by the local attorneys. Guy Xaing returned Tuesday night from a visit to his ranch in Cheyenne county. He rode his wheel from Sidney to the ranch a distance of thirty-five miles. On his return trip to Sidney he covered the distance in a little over two hours. J. A Wilcox, of McCook, Neb., deputy supreme president of the fraternal order known as the Star of Jupiter, is in the city with a view of organizing a lodge. North Platte is pretty well supplied with fraternal orders, but like in the old stage coach, there is room for more. The ladies ot the Catholic church will hold a fair at the opera house on Wednesday and Thursday evenings of next week. Quite a large amount of fancy and useful articles will be offered for sale, and during the early part of each even ing a fine supper will be served. After supper the Columbia Drama tic .Club will produce a play on the stage. XE3B0N SALE. Mrs. G. S. Huffman will sell rib-bons-at and blow cost during the -month ot December. Some rare bargains, call and see. B. Warner is having a ware- the rear of his house erected in furniture store. A lifeless thorougbred pig con signed to Henry Weil was received at the express office yesterday, the animal having died in transit. The Eastern Star chapter met in regular session last evening" and at the close of lodsre exercises held a pleasant social. Geo. G. McKay and John Feder hoof succeded in killing" a fine lot of quail Wednesday. There have been more of these birds killed this fall than ever before. A mask skating" party was held at the opera house Wednesday eveninr, at which Misses Hainline and Iandgraf fig-ured as hostesses. The vouner folks are reported to have had a very merry time. r Christmasfc Will Soon be Here. We have a fine assortment of pretty little gifts suitable for any one. CLINTON, The Jeweler. Con Walker returned yesterday from the McPherson national cem etery, where he had been employed for several weeks in building a brick stable tor the government. The meeting to consider the question of issuing" bonds to build a new school house will be held at the court house on Thursday even ing of next week. Arthur McNamara has sold his property on west Second street to F. J. Clabaugh, who has occupied the house for some time past. The consideration was not learned. We learn that Geo. W. Dillard will make application for a position as engineer on the union Pacific George was for many years a faith ful emplove, and has never felt fully contented since leaving the road a couple of years ago. The jury in the case of the State against Christy and Mason found the defendants guilty of grand larceny. The defendants' attorneys made a motion for a new trial, but were overruled. The de fendants were sentenced to .three years in the penitentiary. The county commissioners are still in session considering" road and bridge mattters. The Methodist Sunday-school is preparing to give a.Christmas entertainment which, it is said, will be especially fine. Several additiontional wells from which to pump water for Union Pacific use, are being sunk north of the round house. Maggie Colin, of Cottonwood, was in town this week making" proof of a claim against the govern ment for properly destroyed by the Indians many years ago. At the Y. M. C. A. meeting Sunday Mr. Hollingsworth will give a report of the state convention. The convention was remarkable in several respects, and all the associ ation men should hear the report. The force in the county treas urer's office is kept very busy these days making out receipts for those who have been delinquent on per sonal taxes and who desire to pay up in order to evade having an ex ecution issued against them. It is figured that while it costs 510,000 a year to support the churches of North Platte, 530,000 is spent for tobacco, cigars and budge. And yet there is not a church in the city that is not having" more or less difficulty in raising funds to meet the expenses. If every man in town who uses tobacco or drinks would curtail his expenditures on these articles one-tenth during 1897 and donate that tenth to the churches the latter would be in a fiouurishing condition financially. The ordination of Dr. Fisher into the ministry at the Baptist cnurcn ruesaay evening" drew a crowd which more than filled the seating capacity of the church. Those who took part in the services were Rev. Dr. Culliss of Omaha.Rev. Evans of Paxton, Rev. Williams of Lincoln, Rev. Everts of Omaha, Rev Clark of Omaha, and Rev. Foulk of this city, the latter ex tending" a welcome to Dr. Fisher on behalf of the people of North Platte. The sermon delivered by Dr. Culliss was one of the most finished, touch ing and eloquent ever delivered in this city, in fact this writer has heard none delivered in North Platte that was superior. Rev. Beecher and Rev Verner also as sisted in the exercises. The Tri- BDNE'extends the hand of good-will to Dr, Rev. Fisher and wishes him abundant success in his chosen work. The W. R. C. and G. A. R. will hold a social at the residence of Alonzo McMichael this evening". The forecast is for a continua tion ot the fine weather we have been having for several days past. Pay checks for the road men were received yesterday and consid erable money was put in circula tion. James Patterson marketed a number of fine hogs yesterday, re ceiving 52.-50 per hundred for them. This pays better than selling" corn for thirteen cents. A government official was in town this week investigating the claims of Messrs. Baker, Hinman, Peniston and others, who suffered loss of property and stock during the Indian raids twenty-five or more years ago. These claims have been hanging fire for a num ber of years, but it is believed that they will eventually be paid. Dr. Duncan was called to Her shey Wednesday evening to attend an eight year old daughter of Henry Cook, who had a leg broken while playing during school recess. Smoke Wright's Royal Sports and Havana Rose 5-cent cigar. Dr. Culliss will lecture at the opera house- this evening on the Yosemite Valley, illustrating his talk by means of a stereopticon. This lecture will prove a treat to all who attend. Carl Brodbeck re-opened the City Meat Market, opposite the Hotel Neville, yesterday and is now ready to supply customers with a choice quality of meats of all kinds. Mr. Brodbeck solicits a share of your patronage. J. S. Hoagland has been ap pointed referee in the case of Wil liam Brown against John Keith, ana will tane evidence ana mate a finding. A. S. Baldwin has been appointed referee in the case of Summer vs. Holmes. Cecil Gates, secretary of the railroad department of the Y. M. C. A., will visit this city the early part of January and will assist Secretay Hollingsworth for a week or so in working up a scheme which will mean much for the local association. It is rumored that Smith Clark will return to North Platte and again engage in the coal business. Mr. Clark, it is said, has been dis satisfied ever since leaving this city and has been anxious to get back. TheJnends of Mr. and Mrs. Clark will certainly be glad to have them return. The force in the U. P- black smith shop is working to-day, as are also a number of employes of the machine shops. The water in the South Platte river, which has been been creep ing eastward for several weeks, reached a point opposite this city to-day. Sheriff Miller expected to take Christy and Mason to the pen last night, but other matters came up which would not permit him leaving. He will make the trip within the next few days. The Fair Store is now ready to fill the wants of all those desiring Christmas presents. This estab lishment has on exhibition a line of holiday goods, which for variety and splendor is unsurpassed. The toy department is especially large, and customers will find at the Fair Store everything needed in this line. Richards Bros, will be pleased to have you call and inspect their elegant stock. A barrel of fine flavored juicy apples is better than a med icine chest in any household and will save many a doc tor bill. Buy a barrel of fine New York Baldwins or Greenings at Harrington & Tobin's for only 52.50. These apples, if eaten just before retiring, are warranted to promote sound and healthful sleep. Scientists declare that the apple has remarkable medicinal qualities. "Pegleg" McDonald, who un fortunately looks too often upon the wine when it is red, imbibed freely of fighting tanglefoot yester day afternoon and succeeded in raising considerable disturbance. He first had a set-to with one of the Jones boys, in which neither. was very much disficrured. He then raised a disturbance in front of the Hotel Neville, using foul, in decent and boisterous language. Complaint was made against him and a warrant issued for his ar rest. Marshal Morgan rounded up McDonald after supper and started nto the jail with him. On the way officer Davis was passed and Mc Donald and he had some words, and McDonald becoming obstreper ous, defied the officers to land him in jail. Quite a tussle ensued, in which the prisoner fought savagely and "basted" each officer, getting a clubbing in return. He was finally landed in a buggy and driv en to jail. He will have a hearing this afternoon on the double charge of. disturbing the peace and resist ing an officer.
