Yes, The Tribune is sufficient-ly patriotic to desire the Telegraphto publish the city"ordinances, as itis a question whether it does nothave a contract to do so, rather thansee the taxpayers of North Plattemulct into a damage suit. Tlie Eraidea is "d - the taxpayers so longas I am permitted to hang on to theteat."

A populist's highest idea ot goodgovernment is that which will fur-nish the most offices for perspiringstatesmen, hence the Era's objec-tion to The Trihuxk favoring theabolition of the unconstitutionallycreated office of state oil inspector.Had the brute the understanding otthe highest order of creation, andread the article in question withproper understanding it would havediscovered that it took no cojrni-zauc- e

The deputy revenue collectorfor this district is expected here to-

day, when it is said some interest-ing developments may be expectedin regard to the skipping cigarmak-cr'- s

case.

It is said the Keith irrigationditch east of the railroad bridge iscausing the Union Pacific companyconsiderable trouble'just at present,owing to the high stage of the river.Slow orders have been given thetrains.

The Rebekah lodge in this citywill give a little sociable to itsmembers to-nig- ht at Odd Fellows'hall wherein social games, literaryand musical exercises, and refresh-ments will be the principal featuresof the evening.

Last Saturday evening C. W.Burklund replevined the Hostetterstock at Sutherland from the NorthPlatte National bank, and now haspossession of the same. Some veryinteresting litigation promises togrow out of this transaction.

W. L. Park has commenced toget the ground in condition forplanting his twenty eight-acr-e or-

chard, containing 15,000 trees, onhis farm under the old irrigationditch. This move of the abovegentleman will be watched with agreat deal of interest by the peopleof this locality, and when he de-

monstrates its success his examplewill be largely imitated by our citi-zens. Here's hoping that thisgentleman who has- - the nerve toinvest his capital in this untiredexperiment may be rewarded by anabundant financial profit.

Mayor VonGoetz occupies thesame position this spring that hedid last year in regard to the mayor-alty. If the people wish him toserve in this capacity they mustfirst elect him to the -- position. Intne year past ne nas maae so capa-ble and acceptable an official thatThe Tribune would be pleased tosee him re-elect- to the posi-tion. He is thoroughly in favor ofretrenchment of official salaries atthe present time until the city isfree from indebtedness, and economvin municipal affairs until thatperiod. We move his on bvacclamation.

I. A. Fort will give some goodreliable man a position under thefederal government from aboutMay the 1st until Sept. 1st. Thesalary will be but trifling, but thepurpose is a very commendable one,and the matter should be taken incharge by some one who is sufficiently interested, and has the wel-

fare of the country at heart. Ifconsists in simply taking a dailytwelve-inc- h sample of soil in a brasstube and forwarding it to the Agri-cultur- al

department at Wasingtonfor examination as to its moisture.In this county two samples will betaken daily, one within the irrigat-ed district, and one outside thereof.Mr. Fort has a circular containinginstructions as to how to take thesamples, and to him you should ap-ply for the position.

CLINTON, THE JEWELER.

The select dancing party Tues-

day night at theopefa house underthe direction of 'h: Seymour Stuffwas a very enjoyable affair althoughit was not so largely patronized asits merits deserved. 'Those presentunite in saying that it was an ex-

ceedingly pleasant evening's happi-

ness.There were. four homestead

fentries made Monday in the localland office, which would indicatethat there are persons who havenot lost faith in the ultimate pros-

perity of this country. With afavorable crop season this yeartheir number will be largely in-

creased. .

Yesterday afternoon Judge Raymarried James W. Long to MissSarah F. Smithpeter, both of Ante-

lope precinct. The groom was aa trifle jealous when, his honorgreeted the bride with a judicialkiss, and said: "Well Judge I don'tjust like that." However, the courtoverruled his objection and indulgedin his usual oscillatory exercise.

The Kearney common councilis considering the- - proposition toreduce the salaries of its own mem-ber- s

and the mayor 66 2j per cent.This would be an excellent idea forNorth Platte to adopt, and also theplan of only holding monthly coun-

cil meetings: but there is not amember of the present council boldenough to father the plan.

As was anticipated observerPiercy scored a "scoop" upon theMethodist brethren by getting afine rain in on time. Monday night.Many old inhabitants scarcelyrecognized the moisture as it fellfrom the skies and regarded it asmore or less of a phenomenon. Itis said the rain fall was aboutthree-fourt- hs of an inch in depth.

Yesterday the county commis-sioners were discussing the ques-tion of procuring. .a water rightfrom the South Side Irrigation Co.,and give, county paupers an opportunity to work out. the same. Thiswould be a, movejtihe right direc-tion, as yith a vater right and agood manager in, charge the countyfarm could be made self-sustaini- ng

if not a slight source of revenue toto the county instead of a continuaitem of expense:

The Kearney.. Hub, in accordance with an expression of the statepress association, has began thepractice of charging for the publication of resolutions of respect, cardsof thanks, etc. This custom wascommenced some three months agoby the North Platte papers, and itworks very satisfactory. This isclass 01 matter wincn is not news.ana in a town with, as many civicsocieties as North Platte it becomesa serious infringement upon spacewhich could be utilized for a morevaluable purpose.

One day the first of the week afarmer had some blankets stolenfrom his wagon, which he had leftin the open space east of McDonald'sstore. He procured 'a search warrant and had the premises west of

4.

Dick's drug store searched bv thedeputy sheriff and himself, butfailed to find his property thereinA short time after one of the missing blankets was found in thestreet in front of the house, and onein the alley at the rear. Each wasso torn as to be worthless. Anegress, a mulatto wench, ana awhite female were occupying theplace, and from the language andactions used while the officer wasmaking the searcli he judged themto be a hard lot. and one whichshould be promptly rooted out bythe city authorities.

On Tuesday evening Judge Sin-

clair impressed ijpon the large aud-ience in the court-roo- m a valuablelesson in court ethics. At a flatu-lent period of one of the attorneysthe assemblage evinced its feelingby applauding. '"Ladies and gen-- !tlemen, this is not a political meet-

ing and you imist.Vefrain from applauding.. Mr. Sheriff, you willwatch and bnmr before thr- - h:ir ofthis court any one making a noise,"quothjiis honor, and it was laugh-able to see the way in which theboisterously disposed subsided.Such ebullitions are entirely out ofplace in a court room, as they fre-

quently more strongly prejudice ajury than do the efforts of the mostastute lawyer, for the reason thatthe fellow who is serving his coun-try iu the box when such an out-burst occurs, thinks the latter hasmade a particularly strong point;which becomes impressed upon hismemory, and for the time being,at least, he forgets that it is notsworn evidence which he has heard,but the specious pleadings of a

j lawyer for his client."

That there will be an activeirrigation campaig-- inaugurated inthe east can be seen by the followi-

ng- extract taken from a letter re-

ceived 6y I. A. Fort from the pub-lisher of the Irrig-atio- Age, ofChicago: "It may interest you toknow that Mr. Smythe is now inthe city arranging- - plans for hislecture campaign with every pros-pect of being-- highly successful.His work in the east resulted asfavorably as could be expected, andhe succeeded in interesting- - manyprominent people of Boston, includi-ng- Dr. Edward Everett Hale, whopresided at some of the meetings.and who now has charge of thearrangements for other meetintrs tobe held in the near future. Theeastern papers, devoted much spaceto Mr. Smythe and his plans. Theleading- - magazines have also takenup the work, and articles will beginto appear in the Century, as wellas others, within a short time. Allof this work on Mr. Smythe's partcan but result greatly to the benefitto the entire west, and we are look-ing forward to the present year asone that will show a notable progress in irrigation sentiment. Hoping to hear from you again soon, weremain, Yours very truly.
