A Lodge of Knights of Pythias , em bracing about twenty of the sterling young men of our city , was instituted Saturday night , and the officers-elect for the coming term duly installed.

The Willow Grove/Lodge of K. of P. promises to be o/e of the finest in the valley , and a cr/dit to our city. Our "saucy as a school girl and mod est as Godiva" contemporary across the street comes bravely to the assistance of the imaginary ( ? ) bums and gamblers , and suggests that "we would be the first to denounce such characters , " "who are conspicuous by their absence , " etc. , ad nauseum. We solemnly promise not to envy The Democrat or any publication that finds it necessary to champion such characters. We will enter bonds not to interfere with any such prerogative. Every public spirited man in-this city should pay his poll tax , and pay it promptly without quibbling , when ap proached by Street Commissioner Le- land. The money is needed for the im provement of our streets , and is needed badly , and all who have any interest whatever in the appearance of our streets ought to hand the commissioner his $3 willingly , and not take advantage of the fact that he can stand the matter off un til January.

The prospects for a heavy litigation over the Circle ranch property and cat tle are at present writing bright. Last week , W. J. Wilson of Denver , Colo. , former owner of th'o ranch , foreclosed a mortgage of $114,000 against "The New United States Cattle Ranch Co. , " who purchased the ranch and cattle from Mr. Wilson , about one year ago. We know none of the circumstances connected with the affair , which have brought the proceedings to their present status , but to a man on the fence it is very appar ent that "Billie" Wilson has the best of the situation , having possession ot the cattle and the money already received from the English company over$100- 000. All the old employes of the Circle Ranch have been paid up and discharg ed. Ed. Wilson , who has been general manager , being succeeded by Rainy Bishop of Denver. It is understood that Mr. Wilson , who is holding all the cat tle his outfits are gathering during the present round-up , will make a complete round-up , this fall , and ship all his stock to Arizona. The case promises to be a complicated one , unless the parties in terested effect a compromise. Go to E. M. Brickey & Co. for cus tom-made clothing. The lecture delivered by Mrs. Lock- wood in the Opera Hall , Tuesday even ing , on the "Social and Political Life of Washington , " was a most interesting one , and held the wrapt attention of the audience throughout its entire delivery. The 'scope of Mrs. Lockwood's lecture was extensive , .necessitating but a refer ence" to the more important features of the subject , which was well divided and admirably handled. The lecture was not delivered with as much grace and oratorical effect as might have been ex pected from one so celebrated in the forum , yet the subject matter was ab sorbing , and the lecture was delivered in an impressive , conversational style , couched in simple language , and was the most enjoyable literary feast our citi zens have ever had the pleasure of in dulging in. A full line of Pumps and Pump fit tings , at Spanogle & Rinker's. THE TRIBUNE pleads guilty of having made an error of say about $693 in the statement contained in last week's issue , concerning the amount subscribed for the Fourth of July celebration. The in advertency through which the mistake was made is obvious , but when a con temporaneous publication criticises that error in this wise , "We desire to correct an impression that HAS GET ABROAD , " we ask for mercy , our punishment is greater than we can bear. Knowing that man is very liable to err , we would for give all , did not that same paper , ( and we but cast a glance over it ) contain two score of errors on its first page typo graphical , grammatical , in punctuation , in fact and in statement ; but we desist , the dissection becomes painful. Wall paper for 12 cents per bolt at Metropolitan drug store. The business transacted at the U. S.

He was lodged in the cooler , and discharged , this morning , no evidence sufficient to detain him being produced. The horse men threatened to hang him , and the poor fellow has had an attack of palpi tation of the heart ever since. Look favorably upon the cherry when it is red upon the tree. It is a juicy , grateful fruit and withal as good for the stomach as it is pleasing to the eye. But don't cook it. It would be just as sen sible to cook watermelons as cherries. In fact , fruit was intended to bo eaten raw and not transformed into the horri ble , indigestible pie. It may be prop erly converted suitable kinds into jam and be kept to spread on bread for the children without violating the can ons of good sense and taste. Topics.

Both of these orders make this ci < y headquar ters for a number of families , who have heretofore resided at Denver and Red Cloud. The continued rains of the past few days have caused the farmer and real estate agent to smile a smile child-like and bland , and put our business streets and crossings in a muddy , sticky con dition heretofore rather unusual.

He assures us that he is confidently expecting the arrival of his new outfit every day , and hopes to be settled in the new building by the first of next week at the latest.
