, Red Men's Masquerade Ball Jan. 22d, 1897. T Members ot Mazeppa lodge are requested to be at the hall next Fri day evening". Louis Schmalzried passed the critical stage Sunday night and is now convalescing. A large number of 3roung folks participated in a moonlight skate on the North river last evening. r ' Frank Simpson to-day vacated the Baptist parsonage and it is un derstood Rev. Fisher will occupy it. Wallace Baskins writes that he is having a very pleasant visit in Kansas and will not leave for home until the 18th. At the Red Men's mask ball on the 22d prizes will be awarded to the.lady and gentleman having the best costumes. A girl baby was born Sunday to Mr. and Mrs. Thos. O'Neal, which accounts for Mr. O'Neal's beaming countenance. The road men received their pay checks yesterday and several thousand dollars were thereby put in local circulation ---Commissioners Hardin and Garrison devoted yesterday to the inspection of bridges up in the the Birdwood section. . Judge Neville returned from '"Lincoln the latter part of the week. and has since been indisposed by reason of a severe cold Smoke Wright's Royal Sports and Havana Rose 5-cent cigar. The Maccabees will install their officers Wednesday evening Jan'y 13th, and all members are especially requested to be present There will be a banquet after the installation. The petitions asking the Board of Education to call an election to vote school bonds seem to have been lost in the shuffle. Tf the proposi tion is to be submitted to the people the, sooner the better. i-It is V. said that there is small hope of Joseph Morsch recovering thg use of his eyes. Mr. Mor 'fchas been at a hospital for several months, but the treatment received has been of no avail. Mayor Baker has appointed Messrs. J. S. Hoagland, W. H. Mc Donald, I. A. Fort and Will Leon ard as delegates to the state beet sugar convention to be held at Hastings on February 2d and 3d. .Bargain seekers will do well to read the prices quoted in these col umns to-day by several of -our dry goods houses. North Platte mer chants desire vour trade and are offering- extra inducements to se cure it. A number of cars of ice were rer ceived from Laramie by the U. P. .company last night and are being unloaded to-day. The company will not take chances in securing their ice at either Gothenburg or North Platte. The three-year-old child of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lawrence died shortly before eleven o'clock to-daj-, after an illness of several days. In the loss of their loved one Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence have the sympathy of a large circle of acquaintances. A gentleman in the east part of the state writes The Tribune that he notices by the "patent side" of.a country newspaper that alfalfa seed is selling in this market for one dollar a bushel and Jie desires to secure some. But the "patent side" of the country paper is off Alfalfa seed sells in this market at $2.50 and $3.00 per bushel. :We understand that through the efforts of attorney G. C. McAl lister a settlement of the Swarth- out insurance policy lias been made by the World Mutual Benefit As sociation. On account of the sui cide provision the Association re fused point blank to pay the policy of $2,000, but Mr. McAllister suc ceeded in making a compromise for $750. The weather forecast: Rain or I Toam and County Jiems. show to-night and Wednesday, colder Wednesday, south to south east winds. The maximum tem perature yesterday at North Platte was 44, minmum in past 24 hours 18, precipitation .01 of an inch. For the same period and . time one year ago the maximum temperature was 45, minimum 12, at 7 a. m. 13, precipitation 00. Eleventh of an inch of melted snow had fallen up to twelve o'clock noon. W. F. Campbell, of Sioux City, Iowa, the originator of the Cambell Method of Soil Culture, is in town to-day, presumably for the purpose of establishing an experimental station under direction of the Union Pacific company. The B. & M. has already had five of these experi mental stations established along -its lines in Nebraska. The Campbell Method is highly com mended by tkose who have experi mented w,ithit,andin every instance excellent results have followed. The next term of district court for Lincoln county will be held March 22d, Rev. Geo. A. Beecher went to Hastings last night to attend the Episcopal convocation. Several others expect to go to-night. National Irrigation Lecturer Fort leaves to-night for Topeka to deliver an address before the Kan sas state board of agriculture. The Pacific railway funding bill was knocked out in the house ot representative yesterday by a vote of 168 to 102. This kills the bill outright. T. J. Foley and family will probably become permanent resi dents of North Platte within the next sixty days. The Tribune along with all citizens will welcome their return. John E. Evans has been ex pected home from Lincoln for sev eral days past, but has not yet put in an appearance. It is likely he is assisting the new secretary in get ingacquainted with the duties of his office. There seems to be a feeling of confidence among the farmers of the county that the coming year will be one of good crops. They all unite in saying that the ground is moist to a greater depth than for a number of -ears past. Business men of the city are now talking beet sugar factory and some of the more ardent ones favor holding a meeting to discuss the question. A thorough agitation of the matter will do no harm, and might do much good. To-day the weather is decidedly wintry, and those who have been pining for snow will, from present indications, be satisfied. The snow began falling early this morning and accompanied by a southeast breeze has made it rather uncom fortable for pedestrian. The North Platte admirers ot Congressman Kem, if he has any, will no doubt be glad to learn that he has gone to Washington to draw the remainder of his salary. This is the work Mr. Kem has accomplished during his six years misrepresentation of this congressional district. But few new cases are beinc filed in the district court at present and this ffives the clerk an op- portunity to effect a settlement of costs in cases which have been de cided in court, but no settlement ot fees made. Clerk Elder says the delinquent must come to time or there wilt be music in the air. At the annual meeting of the active members of the Y. M. C. A. the following directors were elected: For three years E. D. Snyder, D. M. Hogsett, Wm. Hendy. For two years ts. ju. Kooiiison, Jti. v. Hn- liker. Win. Ebright. For one rear W. T. Banks. F. E. Bullard. C. P. Ross. The board will probably meet this week .ind elect officers. The county commissioners have purchased two additional shares of stock in the South Side ditch and now have an 80-acre water right for the poor farm. In secur ing this water nnftit tne commis sioners have placed the poor farm in a condition so that the county will derive a revenue therefrom. Heretofore the farm has not proven a very profitable investment. It is understood that petitions asking the legislature to pass a free range measure are being circulated for signatures in the south and north parts of the county. The scheme is to have the legislature pass a bill leaving it optional with a county whether the measure shall be adopted, Representative Steb bins, it is said, has signified his willingness to introduce such a measure in the house. The stockholders of the South Side ditch held their annual meet ing yesterday afternoon and elected the fallowing directors: John Keith, C. F. Iddings, Gus Meyer Max Beer and Clause Mylander. The directars held a meeting after supper and elected John Keith pres ident, Claus Mylander vice-presi dent, Gus F. Meyer secretary and treasurer. The organization of an irrigation district was discussed, but no official action resulted. Edward Rice, the fourteen vear old son of Charles Rice, the north side blacksmith,, was drajjp-ed to death by a horse Sunday. The bov and a companion were visiting at the Fogg farm northeast of town and when-Rice got on his horse. wuicn was a vicious one, tne ani mal plunged and fell. The boy at tempted to get out of thesaddle.but succeeded in only getting one foot from the stirrups when the horse started on the run with the boy drag ging head down, his one foot firmly held in the stirrup. The animal run a mile or more before stopping and when help came to the boy, lite was found to be extinct. The body was badly bruised and cut. The re mains were placed in a casket and accompanied by the father were to-day taken to Cozad, where the family resided prior-to eomjug to this city several months ago. - Special Sale of Furniture FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY.

We learn from the Gandy Pio neer that M. S. Durham, of Whit tier, expects to move to University Place, near Lincoln, in the near future, where he will engage in the poultry business on a large scale. This office is in receipt of the State Journal almanac for 1897, a book of 400 pages that is full of val uable information. It can be ob tained from the State Journal Co. at Lincoln tor the small sum of twenty-five cents. The first rehearsal of "The Sorcerer," the operetta to.be given under the auspices of the Episcopal cll0ir' win be held at the Suild house on Thursday. Between forty and fifty singers have consented to take part. Prot. Garlichs will be the musical director. A populist who returned from Lincoln the latter part of the week says that much opposition to the appointment of I. A-'.'Fort to the position of secretary of the state board of irrigation has developed, and that Mr. Fort is not likely toi receive the appointment. Th claim is made that there area uum ber of men who "by reason of their political work are more deserving of the position than Fort. It is not a secret that a number of North Platte populists are opposing Mr, Fort's appointment. A meeting ot tne mempers o the Baptist chuch was held Sun day afternoon to consider the resig nation of Rev. M. R. Fisher. The session lasting from three to six o'clock, was in charge of Rev. Clark of Omaha, head officer of the state board of Baptist missions. Severa charges of unbecoming conduc were brought against Rev. Fisher, but he defended himself in a vigor ous manner, and when the vote on the acceptance of the resignation was taken it was found that Rev, Fisher had a majority of the mem bers with him, the vote standing two for acceptance of the resigna tion, thirteen against such action and four members not voting-. Sev eral members have signified their intention of withdrawing from the church. The part of Hans Schneider kopf in Katie Emmett's play, ,4The Waifs of New York," is said to be the strongest and most berman ciiaracter ever seen upon the stage, and Harry West, who assumes it, is credited with being one of the best German dialect comedians in the profession. In iact, miss Jjtnmett believes in sur rounding herself with the very best people, and each part in her well known pla is enacted by an artist that is especially adapted to the character. It is claimed for The Waifs of New York" that it is the original of all the plays dealing with life in the great metropolis as shown in the Bowery, Pjve Points, end other localities known as the darker side of New York, Of Miss Eminetts own impersonation of Willie Rufus, the newsboy, little more can be added to the great amount of praise bestowed upon her all over the country. She has rri?nfr? u rpnnrarinn fnr nlavinnr 6"""-" t' " t f '"a this style of parts that places her at the head of her profession in soubretto roles. Katie Emmett and 'The Waifs of New York" should be welcome, for together thev make a charming combination. It will hbe seen at Lloyd's opera house on burs.day evening, Jan y .41st. Sale ! - County Supt. Mrs. Franklin is out in the country this week visit ing schools, and will not be in her office until next Saturday. Chas. McB-onald yesterday be gan attachment proceedings in the district court to recover from Van Brocklin Bros. & Co. the sum of $2,062.93. Mr. Dobke, the north side grain dealer, was kicked in the side by a vicious horse Sunday, sustaining injuries which will lay him up lor several days. The Knights of Pythias at their last meeting made arrange ments for a series of social gather ings to be given during the next three months. ? In attempting to stop n runa way horse Sunday Otto Thoelecke was dragged '.under the animal's feet and trampled upon, receiving injuries which-, will keep him in doors, for several days. Judge Ray yesterday forenoon committed Edward Woolman to the reform school at Kearney. The lad is about twelve years old, and is an all-round tough 3'oungster. His life at the industrial school will re suit beneficially to him. Among the social gatherings of the young folks Friday evening was a surprise party tendered Clyde Leonard and the meeting of the Ninth grade class at the home o Miss Jessie Bullard. Both events proved pleasant ones for the par ticipants. This evening Mrs. A. S. .Bald wing assisted by Mesdames Nor ton, Seeberger and Newton, wil entertain a party at high-five at the home of the former. This will be a regular meeting of the club which was organized the early part of the season, and has a membership of about forty- The Board ot Education held an adjourned meeting Friday even ing, and after transacting routine business made semi-annual settle ment with the treasurer. The bal ance in the hands ot the treasurer at the time of settlement was only eight or ten dollars.but this amount will be augmented in a few days by the semi-annual apportionment from the state. Growers ot alfalfa in Lincoln county will probably be glad to learn that dried alfalfa leaves make a fine substitute for Japan tea. The flavor is so like the real tea that the Ordinary tea drinker cannot dis tinguish the difference, at least this is the claim made by Major Dubois, of Denver, who has experi mented with the plant. It will not. at ieast. be much trouble for our alfalfa raisers to experiment with the leaves this summer and ascer- ain if Major Dubois' claim is correct. The members of the Cody Quard whose term of enlistment expired sixty 4aJ? agq, have re- ceived their honprable discharge. Several of these members have re- enlisted and others have signified their intention ot so doing. Twelve or fifteen recruits have enlisted dur ing the past month, so the com pany has its full quota of men under the old regulations, which placed the maximum membership at fifty-five. Under new rulings he maximum hgure is placed at sixty-five, and it is likely the Guard will have that number within the next sixty days. Arthur Hoagland has been visit ing friends in Lincoln for several days past. Fred Fredrickson returned Sun day night from his visit with friends in Illinois. Walter Hoagland is in Sutherland to-day couductiug a case in a jus tice court. J. S. Hoagland has be'en in Oma ha for a day or two -transacting legal business. E. R. Smith, the Gandy banker and editor, transacted business in town yesterday. 9 Mrs. Hall is Hastings, of Chey enne, is visiting North Platte friends this week. Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Denson left yesterday for Lincoln, where they will in the future reside. Dr. Bedell arrived in the 4 city from Denver Sundays and will, re main here tor some time. Louis Dohl, who had been at the U. P. hospital at Omaha for five weeks, receiving treatment for rheumatism, returned to the city Saturday. Rev. Fisher went to Hershey last evening, where he will assist Rev Evans in a series of revival meet ings. Rev. Fisher was accom panied by his wife. Guy Laing returned Saturday evening from Lincoln, where he at tended the conference of the free silverites and saw the new state officers inducted into office. STOCKHOLDEKrsKnETnTO. The annual meeting of the stock holders of the Lincoln county Agri cultural Society will be held at the court house, at North Platte, Neb., ot 2 o'clock p. m. Saturday, Jan'y 23d 1897, for the election of officers for the ensuing year and for the transaction of such business as may come before it. Lester Eells, J. B. McDonald, Presidents Secretary. Katie Emmett is responsible for the chief interest in "The Waifs ot New York," which will be pre sented at Llovd s opera house on Thursday evening, Jan'v 21st. It must be called a comedy drama, be cause, while the play is very much like the old-fashioned thing we used to call melodrama, without any prefix, it has a good deal more of the humorous and less of the thrilling-. It tells a story of love and crime, and, in the most whole some style pats virtue on the back. and literally ties the villain up in most uncomfortable knots. Willie Rufus is the good fairy of this pleasant tale. He it is who undoes the evil the villain plots, and when ever virtue, male or female, is in danger, up bobs the good little gnome of the pavement, a newsboy in rags but a millionaire in heart. and vice has to take a back seat. Miss Emmett has been plaj'ing this sort or cnaracter lor a good tnanj' years, but her.boyish virtue is just as spontaneous as ever, and it would be a cold-blooded audience, indeed, which did not enthuse over her. The play, as an honest en deavor to amuse without resort to noxious instruments, deserves praise. Mr. aiiq ivirs. Wilcox anq son iiene, left ipr tneir new iiome in North Platte, Wednesda r afternoon. The departure of Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox troin Gandv, is a distinct loss to the commnnity, and will so be regarded by their friends. The- have resided in Gandy for some- tuing over two years, and nave made many warm friends during that time, who are sorry to see them leave. Mr. Wilcox goes to North Platte to engage in the mercantile business with his brother, in what is known as the Wilcox Department Store, and the Pioneer does not doubt but what he will be success ful in his new venture. Mr. Wilcox lias made a financial success of the newspaper business in Gand and anone that has the abjlity to do that can certainty siiccped anywhere and in any business. Gandv Pioneer. We are informed the people under the Conway, Hunter and Neilson ditch of Paxton and Sutherland will soon petition to form an irriga tion district, the mutual under standing being that the district is permitted to purchase the ditch as now constructed.

Marvelous Bosults. From a letter written by Bev. J.

Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr. King's New Discovery; it was quick in its work and hichlv satisfactory in results. " Trial bottles free at A.F. Streitz's Drug Store.
