TWENTY-FOURTH YEAIt.
NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA, OCTOBER 2, l!)0H.
NO- 72
Divorces Granted.
At, the recent adjourned term of the
district court a divorce was granted
Olivo Erskine from her husband John
A. Erskine on the ground of extreme
cruelty and acts of violence.
Jessie Sawyer n'so obtained a legal
separation from her husband Harry
Sawyer on the plea of infidelity and
extreme cruelty.
Establish Headquarters.
The democrats of the city, which in
cludes Tom Hcalev and Jim McDonald
and a few others, have rented a room
in tho Keith theatre building and will
open democratic headquarters. Visi
tors in town who wish to imbibe know
ledge from a democratic or rather a
Bryan standpoint will be made wel
come, as will also residents of the city.
Many Crosswalks.
Up to yesterday eighty-four cement
crosswalks had been laid in various
parts of the city. Street Commissioner
balisbury says there are fourteen or
sixteen more that ho hopes to have put
in before freezing weather arrives.
These 100 walks puts tho city in good
condition in this particular, and while
the expense has been heavy, it is an
expenditure that was necessary and in
the future tho expense in this direction
will be comparatively small.
The Delinquent Tax List.
Elsewhere is published the list of
property in the countv upon which the
taxoi for th" year 107 arc unpaid. Con
sidering that there are n million and a
half act cs of land in Lincoln county,
the list is small, and that it is an large
as it is, is due largely to carelessness
on the part of the land owners to pay
the taxes rather than a lack of money
with which to pay. This will be proven
true by the rapidity with which the
taxes will be paid between now and
November 1st, the date upon which the
land will bo offered for salo by tho
county treasurer.
Corn Cribbing at Hershey's.
Additional Citizens.
Three residents of Lincoln county
have lately filed their petitions to be
come citizens of the United States, and
four others madu their declarations to
become such at the recent term of dis
trict court.
Tho government requirements in re
gard to foreigners becoming citizens is
very rigid under the new law. When
the petitioner files his potition an offi
cer of the government calls on the pe
titioner and his witnesses and investi
gates conditions. If he finds everything
correct no protest is filed; otherwise tho
petition to become a citizen is contested
in the district court.

Solution to Waterworks Question.
Editor Tribuno: In your last issue
you usk "What is the solution of tho
waterworks problem?" Tho waterworks
and its friends have caused the city to
spend a matter of $3,000 in cash of tho
city in an attempt to unload tho water
works on tho city at throo times its
actuul vuluo and navo tried to bind tho
city forever by giving franchise and
entering into contract with tho city for
hydrant rental for fire purpose; and
finally only asked for u twenty year
frunchiso and contract for water for
hydrants which the council rejected.
At present the caso stands that the
frunchiso expired over a year ago and
the contract for hydrant water will ox
plre in thirty days. The consequenca
will bo tho waterworks will havo no
hold on the city whatever and matters
will move along just as smoothly aa if
tho company had a perpotual f ranchiso
and contract for hydrant water. Tho
city will havo to pay just what it now
nays and privato consumers tho same, as
lone: as thev Datronizo the nrcsent
water plant and no longer.
It is evident bv the late action of tho
council that tho waterworks and its
friends have lost their tfrin and that
the council, or a majority, which is
sufficient to control nubile business, aro
determined to conduct the waterworks
business for tho benefit and intoreit of
the city arftl its inhabitants. They have
examined the books of tho waterworks
company and aro satisfied that a mod
ern up-to-date waterworks can bo con
structed by tho city and the revenue
from tho same would pay the interest
and principal of the bonds when due
and would not cost tho peoplo one dol
lar taxation after the first. Now all
the people havo to do is to vote the
bonds and tho council will construct the
waterworks, and in less than a year
from now we can havo new waterworks
with no mains less than six inches that
will nrotcct everv nart of the citv
against fire and every wutor consumer
with water from six inch mains; also
will deliver water to tho cemeterv and
public parks und will not cost tho peoplo
one uoiinr more alter the first year in
taxes. The first year would renuire a
lovy of ono mill to pay the interest on
the bonds after that the revenues of
tho plant would pay tho Interest. The
prospect for the future seem very
bright so lot everybody encourage and
assist the council in the goodwork.
