John Lonergan made thepresentation in behalf of the band boys,and his speech, in the language of oneof the members, "completely knockedKlein off the perch," and the Professorcould only articulate that the instru-ment was too dry and needed wetting.

While the capturing of the firstprize at the State fair for the best col-lection of agricultural products wouldbe a great thing for the people of Lin-coln county, considered as a state mat-ter, yet Thr Tribune's pioposed potatotrain, and other agricultural products,would be a greater advertisement, andhave a much wider effect. Besides itwould not cost anything like as muchto prepare tho display as it would if itwere intended for competition. Thematter should not be allowed to lag, butshould be taken hold of with vigor bytho Lincoln County Immigration Ass'nand pushed vigorously forward to a

A number of ministers of the Pres-byteri- andenomination from tho district

west of Central City and north of thoB. & M. railway, assembled in regularpresbytery session in this city Tuesdayof this week and held a two days' meet-ing. Regular routine business of im-portance to the church was transacted.The attendance for variouscauses wasnot nearly so large as it should havebeen, but" eighteen ministers out ofabout fifty being present. The repre-sentatives were very hospitably enter-tained by our people, and are loud inthe praises of the treatment affordedthem. Wednesday forenoon the dele-gates present who desired were given anopportunity to view the irrigated dis-trict west of this city, an account ofwhich appears elsewhere in this paper.On Wednesday evening the sessionsession closed its labors, feeling that ithad been a --profitable one despite thelimited attendance. -

NOWS THE TIME.Last winter our people were very on

thusiastic in regard to the erection of abeet sugar factory, but the matter wasdeferred until our comprehensive system of irrigation was more nearly completed. At present this objection to theenterprise is very "nearly obviated, andthere is no reason why the agitation ofthe subject may not be resumed. Likethe Chinese these institutfons have cometo stay,and become an important factor inthe upbuilding and development of ourcountry's wealth. The industry haspassed the experimental stage, ana isdestined to become a great success.

--Liincoln county possesses in excep-tional degree all the elements necessaryto the successful cultivation and propagation of the sugar beet. Under thissystem of agriculture many more thousands of acres of her soil could be profitaoiy tinea. JNeitner nara times nordrouth seem to be able to cut much-fi-gurein opposition to the, growth of ahealthy sugar beet.

in a numoer or cmes ana towns inNebraska the matter of the erection ofsugar factories is being carefully canvassed, and North Platte cannot affordto lag behind the procession. Withinthe next decade the sugar beet industryis bound to rival in value the presentoutput of any two of her greatest agricultural crops at this time. It behooves this city, then, to be up and doing. If it is not possible at the presentto procure the erection of a manufaotory which will be able to turn out thefinished product upon the market, let ussecure reduction works where the firststages may be accomplished, as a sort ofnucleus around which a larger plant andrefinery may be constructed. Thepresent is the proper time for the initialsteps to be taken in the matter in orderthat fanners may havo ample time toproperly prepare tho ground for nextyear's crop. .

It is the opinion of expert beet-growe- rsat Grand Island and Norfolk that

had they the use of our system of irri-gation that they could show results inthis direction which would astonish theworld. If, as admitted, that bv meansof irrigation "wo can discount them inother kinds of crops, why not in thematter of the culture of the sugar beet?It is a great project for tho advance-ment of Lincoln county and NorthPlatte, and it should be at once takenhold of by our people and pushed for-ward to a successful consummation.

The Grand Island band at the Statefair next week will be reinforced byProf. Benesch and three of the bestplayers of Kearney's Midway band.

Tom Brown, the drayman, was se-verely kicked by one of his horses inthe stablo the other morning, but not sobadly- - injured as to prevent his beingabout.

All members of tho North PlatteGun Club are requested to meet atMr. Park's office at7:3Q this evening(Friday) to transact important business.

" M. K. Barnom, Pres't.

As an indication of the number ofpeople that will attend the State fairfrom this place it is said that over 100passes were received here in one dayfor railway employees who are makingcalculations upon attending.

Who would think that Dennis Red-mond would ever evolule into a newspa-per man? Yet such is the fact. Sincelast June he has been getting outboom (?) editions for various Texas papers, and reports that a great countryfor the working of that sort of snaps.

The meeting of the gun club to-nig- htis one of especial interest to its members, as the matter of ordering a nowsupply of birds, adoption of a constitution, and the purchase of a club. medalor trophy to be competed for monthlywill be considered. A full attendanceof the membership is desired.

T. A. Fort returned Thursday morn-ing from a visit to the State fair groundsin Omaha. He stated that the Piercecounty people were the first upon thegrounds with their exhibit, and wereclaiming that they would capture thefirst prize; but in his opinion they wouldweaken from their claim when they sawtho Lincoln county display.

All were highly pleased withthe showing, as well as the courtesyshown them by Mr. Otten. The gentle-man who had expressed the desire to seethe fruit said' that he was well repaidfor his trip if he saw nothing else.

After leavirig the Otten farm the del-egates were driven north and west pasta number or ditch farms. They expressed themselves as highly pleasedwith the appearance of things in gen-eral, and regretted the lack of time tomake a more thorough examin ation ofthe results of farming by irrigation.
