pany to reclaim 246,000 acres ofland in the Big Horn basin countryin Wyoming.

Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Mcllrath,who are circumnavigating the globeon a bicycle at the expense of theChicago Inter Ocean, reachedOmaha Wednesday. They left thatcity Thursday, and as they arecovering about seventy miles perday they will probably reach NorthPlatte Monday next.

Senator Akers,we are informed,is an applicant for the position ofsecretary to the state board of irri-gation. As this official must be apractical civil engineer, we can notsee wherein Akers possesses thenecessary qualifications. Even ifhe did, his appointment would notbe satisfactory to the people ofjwestern Nebraska.

A meeting of the members ofthe North Platte Wheel Club willbe held at the office of the secretary

' on Thursday evening, May 2d, at' 8 o'clock. --The members are urgedto attend as important businesswill be transacted.

There are said to be about adozen candidates for the position ofcity marphal, eleven of whom willsurely be disappointed. A returnto the old law, which made the officeof marshal elective instead of appointive, would, we believe, provemore satisfactory to the people. D.A. Balcer, a better" marshal tnaiiwhom North Platte never had, filledhis office the first year by a directvote of the people.

The" committee having in chargethe arrangements for the engineers'annual May party have been un-

able to procure transportation fortheir orchestra from Grand Island,and have been compelled to godown into their pockets for the sumof $115.40 in order that our peopleshould not be disappointed in hear-ing some first class music after theorganization had been billed. Ourcitizens should extend such a heartypatronage to the affair in orderthat the organization may not beanything the loser in its efforts toprovide the public with a splendidentertainment. Their zeal in thisdirection should be abundantlyrewarded.

The Emkie-Shuge- rt HardwareCo., of Council Bluffs.has replevinedpart of the Keith stock of hard-ware and had the goods removedto the room formerly occupied byHeck. The case will be heard be-

fore Judge Ray on May 4th. Yes-

terday morning Sheriff Miller sur-prised the plaintiffs' in the replevinaction after the stock had been re-

moved to its present quarters, by.jumping upon the goods with billfor $164 taxes. This was an un-

expected turn, and at first theplaintiffs thought they would riotpay the same; but as taxes followthe property Mr. Miller informedthem that he did not care whetherthey did or not as he would holdthe property. As there seems tobe a question as to the validity ofthe original levy, there may besome lively litigation over the

A recent issue of the KansasCity Journal contained the follow-ite- m

concerning our former more orless respected towns man: WilliamJ. Cannon, better known as "UncleJimmie" Cannon, applied for a mar-riage license yesterday at the officeof the County Recorder Queal. Hegave his age as 74 and told DeputyRecorder Davis his story about be-

ing the last survivor of the Alamo,and of his being wounded so manymany times in the Indian wars.Deputy Davis asked him who thehappy lady was to be, and UncleIimmie promised to call again to-

day and get the license. He saidthe lady was his former wife, whogot a divorce from him while he wasoff in Indian wars. He said shethought he had been killed and thatshe got a divorce so that she couldtransfer some property and have noquestion about the titles. But nowthat she knew he was alive, he said-sh- e

was going to marry hyn. "oyer,again. - - - -

The records in the U. S. signaloffice in this city show that theaverage rainfall in May during thepast twenty years has been 2.72inches. The greast precipitationduring any May was in 1888, andthe least that of May, 1893, being4.93 inches in the former and aboutone-thir- d of an inch in the latter.On May-24- , 1881, 2'.58 inches of rainfell, which is the greatest amountrecorded in any twenty-fou- r conse-cutive hours. The average dateon which the last killing frost oc-

curs in spring is May 8th, and itmay be necessary therefore forgrowers of early vegetables to lookout for frosts next month. LastMay a very heavy frost;occarred-on- :'

The Farmers and Merchants'Ditch Co. has made arrangementswith Paxton & Hershey wherebythe latter will furnish the formerwith forty water rights for thisseason. The Farmers and Mer-

chants' Co. will at once commencethe construction of a large lateralto connect with the P. & H. ditch,and by the first of June water willbe running through the entirelength of the F. & M. ditch. Thisarrangement means that the peoplealong the latterditch, or at leastquite a number of them, will havesufficient water to irrigate this sea-

son's crop, and a great benefit willbe derived therefrom. The con-

summation of the deal is one whichshould please all.

Fire Wednesday night com-

pletely gutted the Knights ofPythias' hall in Keith's block, de-

stroying about six hundred dollarsworth of furniture, carpets, etc.The fire was discovered abouteleven o'clock, and had then beenburning about a half hour. Analarm was sounded, -- the fire depart-ment quickly responded and theflames were subdued in a shorttime thereafter. A liberal quan-tity of water was used and much ofit run through into the rooms belowoccupied by Wm. Landgraff and thepostoffice, thereby causing somedamage. The general opinion isthat the fire .was caused by the ex-

plosion of a lamp. The A. O. H.held a meeting in the evening andas is the usual custom left thelamps burning for the janitor toextinguish. The janitor in chargewent to the hall about twenty min-

utes after the lodge adjourned andwas greeted by a dense volume ofhot smoke, and it was just at thistime several persons on the streetalso noticed the fire. The flamesdid not reach the rooms in whichlodge accoutrements are kept elsethe loss would have been muchgreater. The loss of the Knightsof Pythias is covered by $300 in-

surance, but two organs ' oyiied byother societies - iiiid which --are awreck, we believe were not insured.Six or eight charters belonging tosecret societies were consumed.The loss on the building is notcovered bv insurance.

Some of the trainmen are figur-ing upon a new time card. This isthe usual"bccupa'tion between tripswhen not pushed too hard withwork. Their latest effort in thisdirection is that trains 5 6 willbe put on again as formerly. Withthe deficit referred to else-
