The local laud officers are complain-ing somewhat in regard to the way inwhich eoveral partie6 who have madolinal proof and whose patents have beenreceived from the government, afterhaving been properly notified thereof,allow them to accumulate in the office.3Iauy do this under tho mistaken uo-tio- u
that by doing so their land will es-cape taxation. This is erroneous, astho local officers each year notify thoKocretary of state, who in turn notifiestho county clerk, of all patented lands,and tht same are then listed for taxa-tion. Should these patents bo destroyedby lire or lost it would put the partyowning the land to some trouble to se-cure a duplicate.

BAKER'S BARN BURNS.
Last night a.' trifle after nineo'clock a small' boy at some placewest of the Court-hous- e yelled"fire!" This was the first alarm,and is the new pia'-- s which has beenadopted by the "city since the aboli-tion of the electric system. Thisworks fairly well,-althoug- duringthe present inclement weather thereis dancer of the alarmist contract-iu- g
pneumonia or consumption.Investigation established the factthat the barn in the rear of thepremises of D. A. Baker, on westThird street was in flames. Con-sidering the nature of the alarmthe fire department responded asquickly as could be expected. Be-fore their arrival the barn acrossthe alley, belonging to B. I. Hin-man, was also welliu flames andburning fiercely. "When the boyswere ready to1 throw water itwas found there ;was only do-mestic pressure on the mains,which was probably, owing to thedilatoriness with wKich the pump-ing plant was notified of the con-flagration. By the time the properpressure was raised there was nohope of saving the two structures.and the efforts of thSifiremeu weredirected toward projecting adjoin-ing property.
The two barns were totally de-stroyed. Mr. Baker succeeded ingetting out his Jiorses and vehicles.A large amount of baled hay in theHinman barn was so damaged bysmoke and flames as to be worth-less. The loss is estimated atabout $1,000. The origin is un-known. Mr. Baker went to the barnand harnessed a horsey preparatoryto going to his farmi where hepasses most ofuhis time. He ledthe animal out to hitch it up and-- a
moment later, he noticed the firein the loft. A stable cfcr seldomused was iound open, tts givingrise to the theory 4frat some onehad entered the building and.setriton fire. Mr. Baker carried $200 in-surance on the "barn and contents.
One thinghas been demonstratedby the blaze and that is without asatisfactory 'fitfe alarm system sothat firemen dar? promptly and ac-curately go US the scene of thetrouble, the boys rjas a rulework only in a perfunctory andhalf-heart- ed way, and do not enterinto a fire fight with the activitynecessary to promptly smash theflames into smithereens.
PERFORMING THE PHCENIX ACT.Negotiations looking to the re-
sumption of business by the NorthPlatte National Bank have beensatisfactorily progressing.althoughnevertheless quietly conducted. Ar-rangements have already beenmade with a majority of the stock-holders to make good tiie impair-ment of capital experienced by theclosing of the concern. This hasbeen brought about by a majorityof the stock consenting to be as-sessed fifty per cent.
The comptroller has also requiredthat the majority of its deposits beleft undisturbed, for periods of six.twelve and eighteen months. Thislast proposition was- - submitted tothe city council last night in regardto the city funds. All the council-me- n,
with the exception of Herrod,who was absent, voting in theaffirmative. A similar propositionwill probably be made to the boardof education, regarding the schoolfunds. The same offer has beenmade to the county commissionersand will probably be acted uponfavorably by them as soon as theycan be convinced of the legality andwisdom of such action.'
The receiver has not yet arrivedbut is expected to do so to-nig-and it is confidently expected thatif no further conditions are imposedby the comptroller at Washington,the bank will be able to open itsdoors within fifteen or twenty days.In connection with its many friends jThe Tribune earnestly hopes thatthis may prove true,--' and that theconcern will come 'out from theclouds of adversity and thick dark-ness which once encompassed it.stronger and more vigorous thanever through the purification by-fir- e
from which it is now emerging.
- On our first page will be found aninteresting article written by Mrs. An-nie O'Rourke, neo Neary, upon the"Ideal Young Woman,"' :ind publishedin the January number of Word andWorks. The articlo was written in com-petition for a prize, and though it didnot win first premium, it took a second-ary prize. It is contrry to our practiceto publish this class of communications,but the one mentioned contains manythoughts worthy of especial attention,hence its publication.
JACK RYAN SUICIDES-Shortl- yafter the dinner hour
Wednesday our people were throwninto a state of excitement by thereport that "Jack" Ryan, as he wasfamiliarly called, had shot himself.Investigation proved the rumor cor-rect. The deceased was a machin-ist formerly in the employ of theU. P. R'y Co. here and elsewherefor a number of years. For somedays past he had not been working,whether because of the lay-o- ff inmen or of his own volition, we donot know. The particulars of thetragedy are about as follows:
During the morning he had notfelt well and did not get out of bed.His wife was doing the familywashing, and being about to hangthe clothes upon the line to dry.put the infant baby, a little girl,in bed with her father for him toamuse. No sooner had Mr. Ryanleft the house than her husbanddrew a er revolver whichhe had borrowed the day previous
and placing it to his heart pulledthe trigger, and without scarcely astruggle his soul was launched intoeternity. That the act was pre-meditated is evidenced by the factof his having borrowed the revolver.as he was not in the habit of car-rying weapons, and seemed to beopposed to this practice. CoronerHuntington being out of townSheriff Miller acted as coroner, andsummoned a jury who arrived at averdict in accordance with theabovefacts. The victim was aboutthirty years of age and left awife and one infant childto mourn this rash act. He was abrother of Mrs. Sam"l Grace. Heheld a beneficiary certificate for$1,000 in the A. O." H. which will bepaid to his heirs.

Ftf H. Ottex.- -- Lester Fells' dog. which was
among the missing canines of thepast week, returned to his masteryesterday morning. He had eitherlearned through these columns thatLester had on hand a new supplyof soup, or that the poet was aboutto turn his muse loose upon him,hence his return.
Some unregenerate cusseswhose sensibilities of animal suf-leri-ng
have become benumbed, havebeen in the habit lately of droppinga small portion of a certain drugupon innocent and unsuspectingcanines at liberty upon our streetsin order to laugh at their misery.Sheriff Miller was. compelled toshoot a dog one day this week inorder to end its anguish.
