An expert skater gave a very credi ble exhibition at the skating rink , Fri day night. The audience , we are in formed , was rather small.

The State Journal's traveling correspondent pendent and solicitor , Will S. Jay , was in our city , last week , and made ar rangements with the railroad company to have the Journal brought up to Mc Cook on the Denver through freight , which arrives here about 4 o'clock. This gives us the paper on the day of issue. The Journal will be handled at the Par agon drug store until the P. 0. news de pot is open. In response to the call in last week's paper , a small number of. citizens met at the Citizens' Bank , Monday evening , to discuss the question of having a cel ebration on the Fourth of July. After some talk it was unanimously decided that wo celebrate , and a committee of three , Messrs. Chas. Noble , Justin Wilcox - cox and Fred Harris , was appointed to secure the funds to carry out the work. These gentlemen have already secured over $600 by subscription , almost every person approached thus far having giv en liberally , and the gentlemen who have refused , we believe , will see the error of their way , and come down hand somely in due time. The committee expect to secure at least $700 , which will insure a grand celebration , if judic iously expended , and the matter is thor oughly advertised ; and wo believe that the energetic business men and citizens of McCook will enter into this matter with a zeal and determination which will insure a splendid celebration. Another meeting will be held in the Opera Hall , Friday evening , when dif ferent committees- be appointed , and other important- business transact ed. Let there be a full turn-out. Go to Church & Bohanan for your fresh peas. A young man by the name of George W. Pate , who lives a few miles north west of town , was arrested , last week , on the charge of having obtained $200 under false pretenses at the Red Wil low County Bank of Indianola. The young man , in order to secure the loan , gave a mortgage on 90 head of suppo sitions cattle. His hearing came off be fore Esquire Colvin , last Thursday even ing , when he admitted that he did not have the cattle , but that he thought , when he borrowed the money , that no one would know otherwise , and that he would be able to pay the money back when the note came due. He was put under $500 bonds to appear in District Court , and is now in the hands of Sher iff Welborn. As the crime is one the law deals with severely , the young man will likely have a bitter experience , al though malicious intent might not have entered largely into the commission of the offense. * For pumps and pipes go to Spanogle & Rinker. Tuesday night's flood was disastrous to many cellars in this city. C. II. Rogerg' cellar contained three or four feet of water , Wednesday morning , dam aging his stock to the extent of some $200. The cellar under J. A. Wilcox's residence was flooded doing very consid erable damage to some valuable articles stored away in trunks , etc. W. 0. Moody's cellar also succumbed to the flood of waters , damaging much of value stored therein. S. L. Green's cellar was slightly flooded , but little damage was occasioned thereby. Church & Bohan an's cellar was filled to overflowing , but costly experience had taught the present proprietors to keep the same severely empty hence no loss. Other cellars with their contents were more or less damaged , to what extent we have not learned. Smoked meats and fresh lard at Church & Bohanan's market. One of the individuals who has been running the "knife-board snap" on Main Avenue , for some days , was arrested , Tuesday noon , for being drunk and dis orderly.

Ar emigrant wlio was camping in the neigh' borhood informs us that there were 17 in the party , all Bohemians , and that sis children and three women were drowned by the flood of water that rush' cd down the canyon in which the emi grants were camping for the night , From another source we learn thai $2,000 or $3,000 in money was lost by the party. The sudden and mighty rush of waters was evidently caused by a water-spout or cloud-burst somewhere north of the locality in which the camp ers located. Passenger trains No. 2 and No. 40 from the west , Wednesday , were delayed at this station until between 5 and G o'clock this morning , and No. 39 and No. 1 , from the cast , Wednesday , did not reach here until this morning about 8 o'clock. The long delay was occa sioned' by extensive wash-outs between Indianola and Cambridge , considerable track and bridge No. 204 being washed out by the floods , the result of a cloud burst in that locality. Trains are now moving as usual. The Driving Park Association have leased land adjoining the old fairgrounds on the west , and have had a half-mile track surveyed. They propose to put in so much money and have those' who have the Fourth of July celebration in hand put in a similar amount , and erect some permanent buildings on their grounds , which can be used for the cel ebration on the fourth. The proposition is a good one , and will be advantageous to all parties. The rain of Tuesday night , for a "country where it don'train much , " wa.s a genuine soaker from way back.

The great number of men and teams leaving ' i this place , every few days , for the scone of ac tion on the new railroad south , puts one forci bly in mind of war times. Indianola's publicschools closed for the year , last Friday.
