The clerk submitted a report showing the ex-

penses of the past year to have been somethingover $4,000. The treasurer also made a report foreleven months of the fiscal year, which showedthat there was a small balance in the city treas-ury. Both statements were ordered spread uponthe records.

The application of Hinton & Noble for saloonlicense and of J. Q . Thacker for druggist permit,were referred to the judiciary committee, therebeing some imperfection in the bonds.

In the matter of application, of Guy A.Laing. Hans Gertler, W. D. Waldo, Landgraf &

One of Mr. Clint Patterson's last official acts is to secure the passage of anordinance fixing the width of sidewalkson the principal business streets. Thewidth, 14 feet, is a compromise betwaenthe broad and the narrow guage, and wethink is about the correct thing.

Gentlemen who have recently visitedthe head of the irrigating canal say thatthe river bank is likelv to be washedaway, thus letting the water pass into theditch around the gates, in perhaps largerquantities than the canal can carry.Would it not be well for the superinten-dent to look after this matter?

Last fall it was predicted that haywould be scarce and high in the vicinity ofthis city this spring, but the predictionhas not been verified. Hay is selling aslow as $4, and the market Is well suppliedthe prospect being that plenty willbe left over. The demand in the western market has also been liirht, shippersfinding difficulty in procuring orders, thuseavms larger quantities than nsual to

seek a home market.Messrs. Ottenstein and Foley are

making preparations to build a permanentsidewalk on Spruce street in front of theirblocks. They have not yet decided onthe material to be used, but are negotiat- -

in Omaha to putdown a, slagolithic walk. This is composed of crushed slag ana cement, and issaid to make a hard and durable walk.It is warranted for five years.

The club dance advertised to occur atthe Pacific hotel last evening was held atthe opera house instead, the managers notwishing to take chances of being incon-venienced bv belated trains. Althoughthe attendance was not large only twen-tv-tw- o

couDles being present the evening proved a delightfully pleasant one,the participants without an exception ex-

pressing themselves as highly satisfiedwith the result.

Cyclones have been rather late instarting this year, the hrst one to make arecord being in Ohio last week. Delayseemed to have accumulated in energy,as a large district was seriously damaged.On maps made a few years ago by thesignal service, North Platte was locatedoutside the cyclone belt, but climaticchanges have been so radical and rapidwho can say where we are at present. Asa rule however, cyclones are not numer-ous at an altitude'of three thousand feet.

Geo. B. Jane, state superintendentof public instruction, issued a proclama- -tion requesting teachers and pupils ofschools to set out trees on Arbor day. Asit is not likely much was done in thatline in this part of the state, it should beattended to on the first favorable occasion,say on Monday, as it not yet too late. Thesuggestion is made that each teacherplant a tree, each class a tree, and if pos-sible each, child a tree, and mark thesame.

A boy about twelve years old, son ofArchie Adams, was accidentally shot inthe leg Moaday evening while at playwith other boys near the stock yards.The kids are reticent but the suppositionis that one of them had a pistol and itwas accidentally discharged. Theball entered just above the knee, rangingup and across the leg about six inches,lodging under the skin, without touchingthe bone. Dr. Donaldson took it out andthe boy will soon be around again.Speaking of the McGibbeny Family, the

The Tkibuxk was mistaken last weekin saying the new officers would be sworninto office Monday evening. They willtake charge of affairs we believe at thenext regular meeting, the first Monday inMay. And while on this subject wemight as well remark that we dont be-

lieve there is any law except custom fix-

ing the time of commencing or expira-tion of a city office. There is nothing inthe ordinances creating a municipal yearand if there is anything in the statutes ittakes time and patience to find it How-ever, the statement seems to have had agood effect, for the new officers were allpresent and probably received a profitablelesson in regard to the manner of doingbusiness.

Aboutsix months ago he began to fail, aad hisillness soon developed into quick con-sumption. He leaves a wife sad threechildren.

The Odd Tellows' BuUdlnar SoJd.The Odd Fellows building in this

constructed bv a. building association,there being 174 shares. In the course oftime these shares began to fall into thehands of a few persons, and there becamequite a rivalry between the Lodge andMr. Belton as to who should own thelargest number and have a controlinginterest In this race Mr. Belton cameout ahead, securing 97, while the Lodgecould only get 77. Thus Mr. Belton wasenabled to elect the officers and, dictatethe course of the association. This wasunsatisfactory to the Lodge, and negotia-tions were commenced to purchase Mr.Belton s shares. No progress was madeuntil a couple months ago, when Jlr. B.expressed a willingness to sell at whatwas thought exhorbitant figures. Recentadvances in real estate having convincedthe Lodge that the shares could never bebought cheaper, the sale was closedThursday evening by the Lodge comingto his figures, $7,000, $5,000 cash downand the balance inside of two years. Mr.Belton leases the lower story for one yearand perhaps longer. Estimating at therate paid Mr. Belton for his shares thelot and building is worth nearly f12,000.

Under a recent rule issued by theCommissioner and approved by theSecretary of the Interior, persons whowish to practice before the governmentland office, and who have not keen ad-

mitted to the bar as attorneys, are re-

quired to procure a certificate "from somecourt of record that in the opinion of thejudge they are competent to give valuableadvice and, substantially, qualified topractice as attorneys before the landoffice. Judge Hamer having been ap-plied to by a number for such certificatesand not having time to devote to the sub-ject, appointed Wm. Neville, J. W. Bixlerand H. M. Grimes a committee to preparea list of questions and examine applicants.The committee prepared a list of about125 questions, mostly relating to landlaws, but some vital ones relating to rulesof evidence, procedure and advice' Thegentlemen from this Citv who wentbefore the inquisition were 1. A. Fort, W.H. Welty, Geo. A. Yan Inwegen, W. C.Lemon and Geo D. Prest The answerswe believe had all been submifsjslLta thecommittee, but up toyesterdayfwferaoonthe markings had sot been made, and itwill probably be several days before theboys will know whether they can fish orcut bait, as the findings of the committeewill have to be forwarded to JudgeHamer. It is needless to say some ofthem feel somewhat nervous, but we be-

lieve they will all pass. If not it will begood for them all the same, as they willbrighten up and qualify themselves bystudy.
