A nice between three ice boats
manned by Jean Picard, Babe Picard
and young Joe Fillion took place on the
south river Sunday in which a record of
a mile in sixty-two seconds was made by
Jean's boat. Babo's boat is acknowl
edged to be the most speedy, but in
Sundays race a sail was broken and he
came in third. Owing to holes in the
ice tho boats cannot be sailed to their
full capacity, else much better time
could b? made.
Evangelist Nathan, who began a
series of meetings at Keith's hall Tues
day ovening of last week is, with the
assistance of the pastors and members
of the city churchrs. meeting with great
success. Each evening the seating capa
city of tho hall about 500-is unequal
to the demauds and hundreds have been
turned away. Much good is resulting,
so far about seventy-five arising in the
meetings and thus expressing their
desire to become christians. The names
of these are taken, together with the
church denomination they prefer, and
the pastors of tho respective churches
are supposed to look after future
spiritual welfare. The men's meeting
Sunday afternoon was exceptionably
will attended, about every Eeat in the
hall being occupied. Mr. Nathan gave
a very plain, pointed talk on the several
vices, and implored his audience to
accept the SaTior as the sure safeguard
against immorality. At the close of this

C7
prayers. The meetings will be con
ducted the remainder of tho week.

It is an open question with expert
landscape gardeners whether it is not
injurious to tame grasses to turn the

It may bo posstblo that ex Sheriff
Baker will start a cheese faetory in the
spring on his farm west of town. If he
engages in tho business his output the
first year will bo limited to tho product
of about twenty-live cows and increase
the numbor as tho business justifies.
Mr. Baker is a iractical cheese maker,
having followed that business in New
York prior to coming to Nebraska.
Lexington is just organizing an
athletic club. Come, now, Bro. Kricr,

of attaining a little cheap notoriety. Go

A paper published in tho eastern
part of the state makes tho statement
that North Platte ispver run with
tramps. Tnis'is a mistake" Situated on
the great "overland route" tramps pass
ing east and west frequently stop over
in town a few hours to stretch their
limbs, but with tho exception of a half
dozen who put in an appcarauce last
week, tho city has been comparatively
free of them.
- -T. Fulton Gantt was summoned by
telegraph to Denver this week to
take tho employees' side of tho injunc
tion order prayed for by the receivers of
tho Union Pacific to prevent tho men
from quitting work in case an attempt is
made to enforce tho proposed reduction
in wages. Rob't G. Ingersoll has been
employed by tho federated board of this
system to take the employees' side of tho
csfc. He is acting in a similar capacity for
the men of tho Northern Pacific, and he
has instructed them to poll their organi
zations, and if a majority desire tostriko
to do so, and ho will win out tho game
for them.
The ladies" exchange which is opened
each Saturday in tho room formerly
occupied by E. J. Newton, is proving
quite a successful financial venture for
tho ladies of tho Presbyterian church
who have charge. The stock which con
sists of cold and pressed meats, bread,
cakes and pies, aro donated by tho ladies
of tho church and sold to customers who
aro attracted to tho exchaugeby tho fact
that everything offered for sale is pre
pared by excellent cooks. The net re-"
ceipts are donated to the church. A
lunch is also served at noon to those who
apply.
Tho K. O. T. M. and L. O.T. M.held

stalling officer for the men was Geo. C.

Mrs. E. R. Nesbitt, P. C. The members
of the L. O. T. M. evidently came well
prepared ta outdo tho men and they are
entitled to tho credit of having per
formed their service more neatly and
creditably than the K. O. T. M. They
also came prepared with a surprise in
the way of eatables which were served
after the services. The hall was full
and those who were compelled to stay
away ou account of the cold missed the
impressive ceremonies and a good time.
The L. O. T. M. not like many other
auxilliary orders, does not take in men,
in fact L. O. T. M., they say, stands for
"Leave Out The Men," but any woman
of proper age who passes the ballot and
a satisfactory medical examination can
take a benefit certificate of from $500 to
$2000. Nebraska Tent No. 1, and Pride
of Nebraska Hive No. 1, as their numbers
indicate, were the first to be organized
in this state and North Platte should be
proud of being both the father and
the mother of two such beneficial
societies.
Among the improvements made in
North Platte last year which perhaps
has escaped the notice of the indifferent
or careless observer was the erection by
the Standard Oil Co. of two large storaee
reservoirs of a capacity of 22,000 gallons
each for the reception of oil and gasoline.
They are substantial in construction and
economical for the company. North
Platte labor built the sub-structure and
by their erection quite a nnmber of the
dollars of our daddies were put in circu
lation in this city which otherwise would
not probably have been expended. In
addition to these storage tasks the com
pany has put in a specially constructed
tank-wagon for use in ita wholesale
trade. These facilities for handling its
trade should be appreciated bv mer
chants purchasing from this company
By their use leakage and evaporation-
wnicn are oorne oy me retailer -is re
duced to a minimum. Heretofore nier
chants when purchasing oil have been
compelled to accept tho amount shown
by the shipping bill as the number of
gallons for which they were required to
pay, although frequently the leakage and
evaporation would amount to ten, or
more, per cent. By buying directly from
the company,as at present managed,thcse
two items of loss are eliminated from
tho business or reduced to a minimum.
With the establishment of a local agency
in our city tho company has afforded
another advantage to our merchants, as
they are enabled to order in just such
quantities as they may desire or their
trade justifies; and they aro not com
pelled to havo considerable capital "tied
up" iu oil awaiting slow returns. The
oil handled in this manner is tho "Per
fection" brand, standing a test of 120 ,
which 1b about twenty degrees higher
than is required by the state. Much
credit to the high standard of tho man
agement of tho business here is due to
the push jfind energy of tho resident
manager, Claude Weingaud. By his in
dustry and activity has ho built up a
business for the company which is
yiolding n neat revenue, and still ho has
not exhausted all his resources for hold
ing and acquiring new trade. In all
rorts and Kinds ot weather his wagons
may ba seen upon our streets supplying
iu a satisfactory manner the wantB of
his numerous patrons.
During his leisure moments this
winter whon he is not much crowded
with other business the editor of the
Gering Courier is building a Hue of
railroad up the North Platte river. Let
us hope that he may succeed iu his
efforts. However the citizens up the
valley must be set right upon oue or two
points in regard to this matter. In tho
first place the Union Pacific is not at
present in shape to undertake tho con
struction of any new lines of road; it will
do extremely well to maintain what it
already has. In somo other quarter then
must we look for a construction com
pany probably the B. & M. or the Mis
souri Pacific would bo tho most available
corporations for the people of tho terri
tory in question named to approach.
Another error is presuming that $100,000
in bonds can be voted in aid of this
enterprise by Lincoln county. The pre
cincts directly affected and North Platte
are willing to assist in every possible
way the-CTternrTselHIt lt''fiftrllol
siblc to get this amount of aid from the
county for a line running in the direction
contemplated. As much of the success
of a line of railroad depends upon its
local trade the proposed route should be
tho most profitable one in western Ne
braska, as all the way to the state line
and over into Wyoming will it go
through a territory that lies under irri
gating ditches, the only sure way of
achieving agricultural success in this
country. In view of tho importance of
the matter and in order to place it well
before the people, it might be well for
our business men -to issue a call for a
public meeting in this city and start the
ball, rolling.
Van E. McCarty, the popular yoi ng
fireman, was married at Cozad on Tues
day of last week to Miss Lulu Hanna, of
that place. Speaking of tho wedding
tho Cozr.d Tribune sayB: "Tho bride is
one of Cozad's highly respected and
accomplished young ladies, whilo the
groom is an omployeo of tho Union
Pacific, being employed as fireman. Tho
ceremony was performed at six o'clock
p. m. in the presence of relatives and in
vited guests, many being prevented
from attending owing to tho extreme
severity of the weather. At tho con
clusion of the ceremony, after congratu
lations had been extended tho happy
couple, tho party repaired to tho Com
mercial hotel where an excellent dinner
was in waiting. The bride and groom
departed on No. 5 for a wedding tour
covering the cities of Cheyenne. Denver
and Salt Lake City. Upon their return
they will take up their residence at
North Platte." The couple were the
recipients of many handsomo wedding
presents. The Tribune extends its best
wishes to Mr. and Mrs. McCarty.
Capt. B. F. Baker, formerly in
charge of the McPherson national ceme
tery, but who is now stationei near
Philadelphia writes as follows: "Times
are dull here. The tariff and income
tax business is killing everything will
bo nothing to tax soon: for unless there
is an improvement Boon there will be no
income to tax. Comrade Church's letter
lias the right ring. Hoke Smith below
par; Gresham ditto, and Grovor, well he
can still whip the cuckoos into line.
Say, where is Kem and the reservation
bill? Best wishes to North Platte
friends.'
Captain A. D. Yokum who is known
to many of The Tribune readers
as the man who, in Hastings, in Feb
ruary 1892, 6hot and killed Myron Van
Fleet, a newspaper reporter, for the
alleged slandering of his daughter, and
who was convicted of manslaughter for
that crime, and pardoned by Gov. Boyd
before the penitentiary received him,
attempted 6uicide at Pasadena, Califor
nia, last Tuesday by cutting his throat
with a pruning-knife. When found he
was almost dead and tried to blame the
foot-pads, but the position of thewound
was such as to contradiot his statement.
The wound was dressed and it is thought
he will recover.

One of the most profitable crops a
farmer can raise in this country appears
to be alfalfa. As instances of what has
been done in Dawson county with this
crop we cite the followiug: Phil Yocum,
a prosperous farmer living about three
miles north of Lexington, has three and
one-half acres in alfalfa. He cut ono
crop and permitted the second to go to
seed, from which he threshed twenty-one
bushels. This seed he sold in this city
at 35.00 per bushel, which means 3105.00,
or 830.00 per acre to Eay nothing of the
six or seven tyns of hay he put up. A.
W. Goff, another farmer living near Yo
kum, has twelve acres of alfalfa from
which threshed 85 bushels of seed,
which means a return of over ?35.00 per
acre. Still another farmer who culti
vates alfalfa is C. H. Ballisger. We j are
told that last season Mr. Ballinger sold
3L500.00 worth of seed . Alfalfa seed has

and which no petty 7x9 individual vested
with a little brief authority can take
away. All this bluffing by corporation
counsel, about throwing men in jail

republic, and it is stronger than the law,
and in ninety-nino cases out of one
hundred is more apt to correctly arrive
at the equities of a case than whon passed

Yet how erroneous the impression that
federal judges are something above and

does not do so his official term does not
