In an English paper sent us by Col.Cody is a list of eight deaths. The totalnumber of yars that the several partieshad lived foot up 621.v One of them "was102 years and 6 months old; another wis101 years. "We judge that is a healthycountry.

Says the Omaha Republican: For thogreater convenience T)f the people be-tween Omaha and North Platte theUnion Pacific proposes to allow freighttrains No. 18, 21 and 22 to carry passen-gers - between these points. A likearrangement is proposed for train No. 24between Grand Island and Omaha, andtrains No. 25 and 26 between Columbusand Omaha.

The "Wallace Herald is a facetiousjournal. The editor was in the city a weekor so ago and says: "We had the pleas-ure of making the acquaintance of Maj."Walker, of North Platte last week TheMajor is a jolly old veteran, and delightsin relating reminiscences of the late war.He is one of our intelligent county com-missioners. . . . County commissioners metlast week at the court house, and --were-busy

locating county roads, swappingyarns, and explaining to Clerk Evans theTvorkiugs of the inter-stat-e commercelaw."

On last Saturday.- - Gus Smith movedthe oldest '"cedar tree,' iu North Platte,from- - the old-- Daugherty place to theresidence of James M Ray in the city.It vas planted by Judge Daughertyabout fifteen years ago, and was of quitelarge size, the frozen ball plan beingadopted in transplanting it.

Among the many costly andpresents received from or at least

charged to the account of Santa Clauswas a very fine,office desk of the 'revolv-in- g

A mostcomfortable .high backed revolving chairwas with the desk. We think SantaClaus was put up to it, by Mrs. T. J.Foley.

Speaking of the present business inthe South Omaha stock yards. Mr.Burke said: "There is greater amountof stock being handled at the yards thanis supposed by people who do not keeptrack of these .things. For instance, onlast Tuesday week there were were 17,000hogs received and were mostly bought bythe packing houses whose capacity ismuch greater than the supply Theycome from Iowa, Missouri, Kansas andNebraska. The receipts of cattle havenot been as heavy of course, since therange shipments have ceased, thoughthere come occasional lots of 4 to 6 cars,that have been fed on haj-- since coldweather set in. Good prices, good cattle,poor cattle, poor prices." Mr. Burkewhile liking Omaha, still hankers afterthe "ozone" of this country and We mayexpect to see him here again to live.

The cold weather of the present weekhas not.been pleasant, but it has its uses.Without it there would be no end to com-plaintsnext summer for want of icer theharvest of whiclris now in' full progress.The ice is thick and thattaken from theriver is unusually solid, there being nosuccession of high winds to cover it- - withsand. Mr. Edis informs us that he hasfinished storinghis pond ice, and that itis very fine, hard and clear.

The announcement is made that, theG. A K.. Post after the installation ofofficers next Saturday evening will holdmemorial services over a lately deceasedcomrade. The living and the deadsoldiers of the great struggle for national 1

unity should receive all honor at thehands of a grateful people, but it is ques-tionable whether a double funeral serviceis necessary. We do not refer to this caseparticularly, but in any case. The com-rade has had his funeral; Jiis friends andcomrades have paid the last sad tribute ofrespect at the grave ; the relatives havemourned and still mourn; there Is no needof intensifying that" grief iya repetitionof funeral Solemnities. Indeed to ourmind it is a species of refined cruelty, arepetition of agony. The writer was asoldier, and when he dies he is sure hisfriends will feel sorry, but they willhardly want their season of mourningprotracted. The custom is one thatshould not receive encouragement.

The order of the night, at the Globe

Theatre, is "standing room only." This,at a theater like the Globe, re-

markable. It is due to the actractivenessof the romance "Unknown." in which theactress. Miss Nellie Boyd, appears nightly,supported by her. own evenly-balance- d

Sunday is known to the law only asSunday. You can't make it a Fourth ofJuly, a Thanksgiving, a New Years, orany other jubilee day. Sunday is Sunday,and when Christmas comes on that day,as it will once in a while, it isn't Christ-mas, but the Monday following is the day

L we celebrate, or at least that the law celebrates. The stores close, the banks close,business is suspended and the young mantakes his best girl out sleigh riding.This is the agreeable feature of tho day,making us all old and young, wish, thatChristmas came oftener than once a year.Taking a birdseye view of theday, there is another feature thatdoes not form so pleasant, a panorama.

"A certain class turn themselves loose tohave a good time, apparently forgettingthat the festivities of the occasion are incommemoration of a sacred event, toosacred to be desecrated by a top free in-

dulgence in the flowing bowl Thepapers of Tuesday morning tell the tale.In the large cities the fatal cases reportedthis year were unusually large, while thestation houses were filled to overflowing.It was a busy day for the police. Manyof those who started out to have a "goodtime" will have leisure to repent behindprison bars. Such is life. That is a waysome people have of ebjoying themselves.To expunge this depraved nature fromhumanity should be one of the principalmotives of Christianity. f.

The Water Works.Steam was -- raised in the boiler at the

waterworks on Wednesday, the pumpsset "in motion and the pipes were soonfilled with water. On Thursday themuddy water that had accumulated in thepipes during the laying was expelled, andeverthing was in readiness, to apply a fullpressnre if necessary. On yesterdayafternoon the different hose companiesattached hose to the hydrants and undera pressure of about GO pounds three con-

secutive streams were thrown through 150

feet of hose with 114 inch nozzles to aperpendicular height of about 50 feet andhorizontally about 75 feet. The test wasonly to demonstrate to the company thatthere were no leaks in the pipe and thatthe works were capable of furnishingample fire protection to the business partof town, which was all the company agreedto do by the first of January. The cityauthorities appeared to be . satisfied thatthe company had fulfilled their agree-ment. A much heavier pressure couldhave been applied, but Mr. Walker didnot think it best. The ground is "frozenand slippery, the hose men inexperienced,and with a high pressure there wouldhave been more or less danger of accidentsto the men handling the nozzels. At themeeting of the council-Monda- night it islikely the council will express its ap-

proval of the work so far.

Public Installation.There will be a public installation of

the officers of S. A. Douglas Post No.69, at Odd Fellows Hall on Saturdayevening, January 7th. The choir of theLutheran church has kindly consented tofurnish vocal music. The Old Guardhope to see all of their friends present. .

The Eighteenth.Wednesday was the eighteenth anniver-sar- v

of the" marriage of Mr. and Mrs. J.S.Honglatid. vA number of their num-erous, friends conceived the idea that itwould be a fitting time to snrprise theworthy couple with a little party, and alsoby the presentation of mementoes thatwould in aftr times remind the recipientsof the esteem in which their friends heldthem. Accordingly, under the leader-ship of Mrs. C. W.. Price, Mrs. Dr.Hmgston and Mrs. Jii. U. lioiorooK, anumber of invited guests gathered atPrice's drug store early in the eveningand soon after marched in a body to thopleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. lloagland.There "was surprise indeed at this unexpected mvasion, but the host and Hostessgreeted their friends none tne lesswarmly. Music being in attendance, oneof the first things done was to clear thespacious rooms lor aancing, wnon tuemajor portion of the company were soonengaged in the mazes of the. waltz andquadrille, while some of the older peoplewere enieriaineu at wiussi huu siujwuigames, lnose wno originate-- me aaairhad not come there empty handed, and atthe proper time an excellent lunch wasserved.

Then Col. Bentley arose and in properterms stated why this invasion. It wasprompted by the kindly feelings theguests entertained towards Mr. and Mrs.H., and as a remembrance of that appre-ciation the guests had brought a smallsouvenir, not ot intrinsic value, nut wnicnshould they hoped in after times nonethe,less vividly remind the recipients ofthe 18th anniversary of their union andof the hisrh esteem of their friends. Onbehalf of himself and wife, Mr. Hoag- -

land responded feelingly, thanking theirfriends, and stating that this demonstration had touched a tender chord in theirhearts that would always respond withjoyful vibrations upon remembrance ofthe occasion.

So rapidly did time fly that it was afterthe twelfth hour before the guests werehalf aware of it, and it was with reluctance they bade their Host and hostessffood night, all declaring that it was themost pleasant social party of the season.

Mr. Let Eells in speaking of theprospects of the Black Hills, countryfrom which he has iust returned said:Large bodies of tin ore have recently

been discovered and companies formedto work the finds. Spencer & Hebuer ofChicago have invested largely and propose to go to work to reduce the ore to ashape in which they can transport it tomarket as soon as the necessary mechin-er- y

which is ordered arrives. The Englishhave in their possession the only processyet discovernd by which the pure tin canbe extracted from other metals anu nnisn- -

ed to put on th market. Messrs. Spencer& Hebner are people to carry an undertaking of tho kind to a successful issue.There is a large syndicate of English capitalists interested in other mines, whopropose to 'open them up' in the spring.Maurice Cronin of this city has a brotherwho was one of the pioneer discoverersof tin there and ho and his partner or--

anized an English company to work it.The people of the West Side Hills arejubilant over the prospects. They tellme or the numerous veins of coal tiiat isalmost equal to the anthracite of Penn. ,the oilfields, deposits of soda and numer-ous other productions of mother earththat will evpntually be utilized " Mr.Eells saw Mr. Frank Alexander, whountil recentlv had been for 8 or 10 yearsthe foreman for the Dillon ranch, he nownas a norse rancn or nis own, locaieu inthe Spearfish country and his health isimproving.

Secured the Reward.J. I. Nesbitt, attorney for Sheriff Doan

of Logan county, in the matter of thereward offered by the United States goveminent for the arrest and conviction ofCharles Parker, received a letter thisweek from Attorney General A. H. Garland, that Mr. Doan's claim has beenallowed. Marshal Bierbower has beeninstructed to draw upon the departmentof justice for funds sufficient to pay thereward of a thousand dollars. SheriffDoan is to be congratulated upon a suit-able recognition of his pluck and valor,and Mr. Nesbitt is entitled to credit forthe prompt mauner, in which he hasmanaged the matter.

There was a pleasant gathering ofgentlemen at Mrs. Ries' restaurant Mon-

day evening, ostensibly to eat oysters,plates being spread for thirty-tw- o, butthere was a double surprise in store forthe principals, as the sequal will show.Dr. Donaldson and Mayor Hammond aretwo very popular gentlemen. TheDoctor thought it would be a nice thingto present the Mayor with a Masoniccharm, while the Mayor, observing theadvancing years and oft infirmities of hisfriend the Doctor thought it would beonly in keeping with, the eternal fitnessof things to present the latter with a cSme.

These ideas were soon carried out. Dr.Donaldson and his" friends secured thecharm, and Mayor Hammond and hisfriends prepared to cane the Doctor.These preliminaries being arranged, thework of each principal being carefullykept from the other, the next thing inorder was a presentation speech. By

dint of a half days careful labor, theDoctor succeeded in placing on paper avery eloquent oration, but Mayor Ham-

mond, having less confidence in his ownabilities and eloquence, delegated thispart of his work to another, thus stealinga march on his worthy competitor. Allbeing assembled, the Doctor arose, andlooking ascant over his glasses, addressedthe good natured Mayor, unfolded hismanuscript and delivered his speech infine shape.. The Mayor was dumfounded,but now it was the Doctor's turn to beconfounded. Mr. Grimes arose andcommenced talking to the doctor. Hecalled his attention to the uncertainty ofhuman life and of the certainty of the endof man. He pointed out to him whatcomfort it would be in the sere and yellowleat of life to have a friend, a comforter,a staff upon which to lean as he shouldco tottering down the rugged hill ofdeclining years: how handy it would bewhen visiting the sick bed of a patient inthe dark and silent hours of the night, tohave a sure support and protector, a terrorto the villianous garroter. or the nocturalhighwaymay, assuring his arrival at thebedside of the sick and a safe return tothe bosom of his family. This and muchmora was said greatly to the amazementof the Doctor. Contemplating all thesethings, the speaker said in conclusion, theDoctor's friends viewed with alarm hisunprotected condition, and those presenthad unanimously decided to present himwith a eanc, which the Doctor very gra-

ciously received amid the plaudits of thecompany. It is needless to say both theMayor and the Doctor appreciate thekind remembrance of their friends.

Robert M. Clark living in Peckhamprecinct, lost seven head of cattle recentlyfrom some unknown cause. Investiga-tion showed that they had been fedpounded glass. The pith of ear corn hadbeen bored out and the cavity filled withglass and then thrown where the cattlecould pick it up. A man named Parcelwas arrested, charged with the commission of the crime on suspicion, anabrought up to the city for trial. Afterthe preliminary motions, the case was con-tinued until Monday next, the accusedgiving bond for his appearance at thattime. If the allegation is true, the guiltyparty should receive punishment.

The county supt. elect contemplatesintroducing as soon as convenient a un-

iform set of text books in the schools ofthe county. This' is a very good move,the advantages of which will be seen byeveryone interested in the educational ad-

vancement of the children of the county.

The Geo. K. Hammond Hose Co.have" ordered uniforms, gray shirt,with blue trimmings, blue fatiguecap and belt. Their hose house isnow being constructed on Chestnutstreet, between Fifth and Sixth.At their own expense of 125, theboys will make the building largerthan contemplated by the originalplans, using the extra space for agymnasium. They contemplategiving an entertainment about the20th of January.

At the session of the commissioners this week, on petition, theboundary lines of O'Fallon precinctwere extended so as to take in ter-ritory on the south side of theliver heretofore included in Sun-shine and Fairview precincts. Thismove is probably made for the pur-pose of strengthening the precinctwith a view of voting bonds to con-struct a bridge across the southriver near O'Fallons. The people ofthat portion of the county aregreatly in need of a bridge to ena-ble them to reach the railroad with-out traveling to ISTorth Platte. Ofcourse there will be a diversity ofopinion as to where the bridgeshould be located, but The Tribunebelieves the point that will be themost beneficial to the greatest num-ber will be selected. It is a matterthat rests entirely with the peopleof that neighborhood and one theyare competent to settle. The dis-

trict included in the precinct isabout eighteen miles long by twelvein width, and contains some of thefinest land in the county. Thearea will be someting over 100,000acres, to say nothing of the valueof personal property, the railroadalone being about 150,000. Itwill thus be seen that the indebted- -
