On the 2Sth Mr. & Mrs. Pfittibone will eive their Jancy skating entertainment. On Monday the natives were greatly surprised to see the beautiful snow ap pear.

T J Wright got a pretty severe fall' the other day while on a hay rack. He came near getting his ribs broken. Tin: conn ty commipgioner? were in Guide Rock on Monday, turning over the material for the bridge at that place to the contractors. The schools in Webster county we are glad to learn are all prospering finely, and are doing well. We shall be glad to have all school teachers send us report of their schools in brief form. On Thanksgiving night the Red Cloud Quartet will give their third en tertainment at the rink. The R. C. Q. have justly gained a reputation for giv ing the most pleasant entertainments of the fceaFon. The leaders of the Blue Hill mob of last Monday, will ptobably have a chance to talk business with Judge Gaslin on the subject of mob law. The penalty for such actions is said to be fifteen years in the state prison. Rev. J. K. Harkis and daughter, Mayday, started for Scotia, Greely, county, on Thursday, which place they expect to make their future home. Mrs. H. will remain in Red Cloud for a time, on account of the illness of Mrs. Moore. Rev. Geo. II. Brown, pastor of the First Baptist church, has for several week past been entertaining his audi ence with a series of sermons entitled the "Gospel Railroad." Mr. B. is a fine pulpit orator and an interesting speaker. During this week the firm of Span ogle fe Funk has been dihSulved, and henceforth will be no more. The firm will from this on be Spanoglc & Son, Frank Spanoglc having become a partner with his father in the business. The Chief wishes the new firm pros perity. When a man once gets office he will will always find hosts of;fellows who are willing to sacrifice themselves for sonic good fat office. Such is the ense now, and a grealjmany applications are be ing sent in to our members of the leg islature recently elected, for all kinds of favors in that direction. It looks very much like the pro posed U. 1. railway was no .mall matter. The head officials of that line with their special coach were in this city for three or four days last week, looking the country over, and we would not be surprised to hear that grading for the recently surveyed oad had commenced. We hope it will. A great many complaints have been made, and our attention has been called several times to a bad sewer which is in close proximity to the de pot. It is said that the stench is per fectly awful at times. The proper au thorities should see that it is fixed. Such places are regular breeders of dis ease. We would like to sec some, town that has two finer banking houses than Rea Cloud. The Red Cloud National and the First National bank buildings would do credit to many cities five times as large as Red Cloud. The Chief takes pride in the advancement of all institutions that lend towards the growth of the metropolis of Web ster county. What is the reason that we cannot have some such institution as a can ning factory, a Sugar refinery, a foun dry, chair, or wagon factory, or some thing of the kind. We have the best water power in the west, besides other advantageous surroundings for any of the above named institutions. Let some one make a start. Don't let ev erything fall through. Now is the time. Thanksgiving will take place one week from last Thursday. If any peo ple in the world have reason to be thankful it is the people of Nebraska, for on every hand prosperity and suc cess have crowned the efforts of the citizens of the entire state. Crops of all kinds have been more abundant than at any time for years, and in the words of some illustrious contempor ary we exclaim "we have much to be thankful for." One week ago, Joe Cook, the alleged murderer of Leonard Rail, did not have a friend in Webster county, but the bruta! treatment he received atBlue Hill the other day has made himJ many. The proper thing for the peo ple to have done, would have been to give him a fair trial in the district court, and then if the law did not do justice, it would be time for the people to act. If the law is lame the people of Nebraska are to blame for it. The head officers of the B. & M. were in Red Cloud during the latter part of the week. It is said that sur veyors have been working for six weeks on a line between this city and Burr Oak, but how true this story is we cannot say. We only hope that there is more truth in it than fiction. One thing is certain, that railroad magnates can not help seeing- that Red Cloud & a splendid point for a rail- 1 road centre, and we believe they do. St?, !LMfeH Will Jackson n in the city. Full line of Groceries at Hacker's. Floiti, bran and chop feed at Hack er's. The aid society's pumpkin social was a grand success last Friday mgnt. J. S. Noll has ?one to Iowa. His father is very sick and not expected to live. The funeral of Mr. W. H. Strohm vh very largely attended ,on last Fri day. Presiding- Elder Gallagher was in the city Sunday, attending quarterly service.--. Dr. Moena xvent west this weak. His future home will be Salmon City, Idaho. Geo. Valentine's familiar counte nance was teen upon our streets one day this week. Woolen i-carfc, mu filers in silk, wool and cashmere; over 25 btylrs of silk hankerchiefs at the Golden Eag!;. Don't forget the Goiden Eagle give you a chance to win ?20, $10 and 5 in goods as an extra inducement to buy there. Who will be our next postmaster, now that Cleveland baa got the bulge on the presidency ? Echo aiibtvors. "Who?" The Bcdient family living near the depot are in very distressed circum stances, and should receive the sym pathies of the people. The city water works i. e. the town pumps, which have been in a very di lapidated condition for some time past have at last been partially repaired. A n re broke outlast Friday morn ing in the implement store of Pretty man Bros, at Alma, destroying the whole building. No clue to the orii,;n. Loss estimated' at $S000. S. H. 1J. Clark with hi" special car arrived in Red Cloud on the 13th, and he and his companions, among whom was J. M. Eddy, spent a few days hunt ing in this neighborhood. The highway between Red Cloud and Amboy has been repaired. The fence that closed up the road has boon taken away and people can now come and go without fear of accidents. Mr. John Tomlinson is the happy recipient of a $-100 team of horses as a gift from Walter Harris. Win. Parked is also to make a pair of $11 boots fo. Dr. Elliott. "Twas Cleveland did it." Friday morning Mr. G. W. IIol dredge, Assistant General Manager of the B. &. M., accompanied by Superin tendent of Telcj,raph,C.E. Yat23, ar rived, and their car was at once run to In'ivale where they spent he day hunting. There is a rumor that there are to be .some changes made in I he depot at this pomt. There arc several i.ceded, for insianco, a room Tor condtic ors o leave their things and make out re ports, also a wailing 100m for lae'es and o.her convc tiencej. The travel is very heavy on the road now and there are a good many passengers ; -ansforred from different train" caus ing considerable waiting on their part aid better accommodations are requir ed. Let us hope it will soon bo done. At a regular convention of Calantha Lodge U D. JC of P., on Tuesday night, thefollowing officers were elected lor the ensuing year: p C-R V Shirey, C C J L Miller.

Yeiser, died at her home in this city on Sunday morning, November 1G. Mrs. Yeiser was the daughter of Rev. R. T. Dillard, D. D., and was born in Fayette county, Kentucky, Febru ary 23d, 1S33, married May 3, 1S59, and with her husband and family came to Red Cloud in the winter of 1576. where she has since resided. She was an earnest Christian and a mem ber of the Baptist Church. By her death this community loses one of its most estimnble members, her husband a fond and loving wife, and her chil dren a true and devoted mother. The remains were conveyed to their final resting place on Wednesday afternoon by a large concourse of sorrowing rel atives and friends. 'What Shall The Ilarvct Be?" "At last the proud waves lash the shore," and the republican party has been engulfed in the democratic whirl pool. Therefore our rooster is too sick for duty, and will not be able to crow much for four years to come, ex cept on siatc occasions. His name is 'Dennis' and he is no 'good. Poor fellow, it will take a little soothing syrup to quiet his sufferings. "Salt River" will have a great many visitors this season mostly republicans we fear. Alas ! how soon fond hopes van ish, and are no more. " Cupid's Dart. Again Cupid has entered our do main and claimed two victims. This time the happy couple are no less per sonages than our wett lnown citizens, Mr. I. Frisbie, of Frisbie & Skceu, mil lers, and Mrs. Ann Mitchell. The nup tials were solemnized on last Thursday evening at Mrs. Mitchell's residence in the north end of town, by the Rev. C. B. Lenfest, ot the Methodist church, in the presence of a few intimate friends. The high contracting parties took the evening train for the west, where they remained a few days spending their honeymoon. The Cuufp wishes them much joy, and at the same time re turns thanks for some wedding cake. May their joy never jjrow less." - , ?... 4r JOSEPH COOK, Ho is Arrested at St. Joseph, Ida, x'uul In la Caatody Chcryod With Murder. Islrs. B&H IdontiHos Him As Tho Hired 2Ian Who V7as Lhat Soca With Iter EoabAnd, At Blue Kill Cook: is Mobbed cad Lynched by Tho Infuriated Citizens. fter Hanging: Tgh Minutes Ho i3 Cat Down by Sheriff Wsrron And Brought to Ldfo. On Just Friday quite en excitement w caused in thU city over the an nouncement thatshcriif Warren h.id Arretted and wa- bringing Joapfa Cook, the nHoged murderer of Leonard Rail to tho city, and would read: here that morning at S:25. In conejuenre a targe crowd was at the depot arkKi to tee the man who could cuinoxit n a crime. Finally th train cams in and the prbonor was taken to thfc Gardner house, itrongly guarded. All day long the streets of Ked Cloud nerc literally swarming with pctople from Blue Iiilland vicinity, who were ox trcmcly anxious to avenge the death of Hall by lynching Cook, and had it not been for the influence of our prom mon. citizens, we dare say that Cook would have been in his grave, as the people were bent 0:1 having blood, i lore and there could be seen small crowds of excited man discussing the crime and the man who committed the deed. It could be plainly olwervcd what was passing through their minds. ISxciltnient run high, but the better counsels of our citieus prevailed and the lynchers decided that it was only fair to give him a trial, and along to ward night began dispersing for their various homes. But we suppose the mo.-o they thought over the matter the more intense became their feelings on subject. However the sherill was prepared to quell any outbreak that might have occured in this city. Later in the day Charley Winfrey came in with the team and uagon which Rail was riding in when mur dered. They were found in or near White Rock, Kansas, where Cook had traded them to a farmer for a black team and something to boot. Many people visited the wagon and team out of curiosity during the day. It seems from what could be learned, and Cook's own story, that hi must have had a confederate and'after the crime had been committed,they took to a south easterly course for the Kansas hue crossing tho Republican river at Su perior, and from there to St Joe where lie was arrested later on by the Snenfl'. One thing is certain, as a criminal Cook did not show good judgement, for at nearly every corner he would en quire for the road and by this means Shcnil Warren was easily able to track him with a certainty that would lead to his arrest at no late date. Once upon his track Sheriff Warren followed the trail with all possible haste to St. Joe, where the airc?t was made. "Murder will out'' and' a man who dabbles in human blood is sure to reap the consequence sooner or later. When arrested Cook DENIED TIIF. MUKDnn, but admitted that he had worked for Rail, but did not know that ho was dead, and -to this story he still clings with great tenacity. Howevor, t--'mco coming to Nebraska he admits to tak ing the team, and was identified as the man by Mr. Cass'in, of IHiite Rock, who traded horses with him, and who came to Ilcd Cloud on purpose to iden tify him. A gentleman by the name of Richard Mayers had the wagon when found. We presume that Cook thought he would destroy all trace of himself by disposing of his booty at White Rock but his persistent enquiry for St. Joe and other points along the lino wove the web around him which was to be the means that would ultimately ensnare him. The Chiuf believes that Cook should bo given a fair trial by the courts, and if tonnd guilty, should receive the estromo pon alty of tho law, but deplores the false idea now prevalent that the people should take the case into their own hands, as it is not right. Mob lav. is now, as well as in times past, the in strument that destroys the very bul wark of well organized judicial institu tions. The stern arm of the law should be able to revenge such crimes and protect the people. No law abiding people should listen or give their influ ence to motites which cause people to take the law of the land into their own hands. Once at Blue Hill the excite ment crew intense, although it did not appear in visible form until almost train time, when it became evment that some thing was upjis nearly ev ery man had a revoIveryor fire arms of some kind, which would lead one to believe that they did not prop rose to live up' to the part o'f the contract they had made with Sheriff Warren? name ly, to give the prisoner a chance for trial. And right here-we mus, say that Sheriff Warren and his deputies did their best to protect the prisoner,but be ing outnumbered had no earthly show to cope with those who had decided to take the law into theirjown hands. The followiug are the tacts gained by our reporter in regard to the mobbing at Bine Hill: " tjis latest. All day Friday the sfreets were thronged with an excited crowd, eager to get a glimpse of the prisoner. ' One individual whose curiosity got the bet ter of his aensej attempted to force his way into the prisoners room, but got unceremoniously bounced 'into the stMJetforhiairouble.

Sheriff Warren had made 'Arrangements with the railway ofiiuiaL, for a Miccinl train to take him self and party to Hasting, and by pru-coucerted signal ajrreod upon ilh the train men, Knrted with his man and three special deputies to board the train, but through :h treachery of one or two of Blue Hill's citizens the mob who had already congregated in the streets woro apprised of the move. Hundreds of meu, women, and chil dren were to be .-eon howling wildly and jostling each other in every direc tion. (Jursoh and cries of "hang the in of a b h" rent the air. Thorc were also a number of special deputie appointed at Blue Hill but for some cause unknown thoy failed to be pres ent when needed most. I'ANDkMO.N'IUM hcemcd to be literally turnod loose. Some 50 or 60 men made a bold dnsh for the prisoner and by tho moi vio lent efforts, a grand nourishing of re volvets, and a severe tussle j-uccccded in wresting him from the hands of the officers, and chucked him into a coal wagon, from which Deputy ShcrifiGoo Ball succeeded in pulling him out, but was again recapture! by the u.ob and again thrown into the wagon which was then driven rapidly out of town, halting at a windmill on the farm of Sol Mandellbaum, about one mile from town. During ihe melee On the streets deputies Geo. Dodd and M. W. Dickerson, of this city, attempted to pull a man off from the prisoner, but only succeeded in pulling oil his coat in tl e pocket of which a rope was found. This rope being missed at the windmill a halter was taken off from one of the hordes, but this proving too short for the purposes of the mob, a clothes line was stolen and placed around the neck of Cook. On being asked if ho had anything to say ho re plied that he had said all he had to say. Again on being told that if he had anything to say he wanted to say it , 1 qviick, he merely replied that he had nothing to say. Tho rope was thrown over a beam or cros-pioce and the victim hauled up some eight een inches off tho ground, where he hung about ten minutes. Deputy Ball followed the mob and on his arrival at tho mill attempted to cut tho rope but was prevented from doing so. Shcr 1 fi Warren arrived a few momenta later and cut the rope, amidst the cries of 'don't cut him fown, let him hang, the mob supposing their victim to already be dead, made no forcible resistance. Cook was taken back to town more dead than alive, where he was bled, and other means used for his resuscitation. During the night it took four men to hold him, the frightful contortions and convul sions through which he passed being indescribably horrible. On Tuesday morning he was brought to Bed Cloud and again taken fo the Gardner House where he is still lying in a pitiable con dition, and has not as yet recovered the use ot his leasoning faculties. If he rccovera he will be tried for murder; if convicted and again hanged he will then have passed through the terribU ordeal of two executions for bis crime. The Chief regrets that the order lov ing and law abiding citizens of Blue Hill were unable to prevent the per- petration of so shameful and horrible an outrage a3 the one that took plaoe in their midst on Monday- Mob laW, the whipping post, and the guillotine; ou"ht to be consigned to one common grave and buried as relics cf the dark er ages. While Cook was in St, Joe, a reporter held the following interview which we give to our readers xer batimi the iXTEsmrw. fWhat were you arrested ior?" quer ied tho rcporter. For larceny, they tell rae" "Sy whom?' "Deputy Sherill Blagg, of Nodaway county." Where didyou come from to SL Jo seph?" uJrom Cameron.
