" ' by local talent , to-morrow evening , at the Opera Hall , for the benefit of the W. C. T. U. of our city.promises to be well played , and merits a liberal support. Stanton Rolla is having a building put up on East Dennison street , oppo site the McCook Hotel , into which he will move his shoe shop , next Monday. The contractor is F. D. Hess. The prairie schooner , with white top and protruding stove pipe , is again a fa miliar and oft-seen sight , harbingers of the restless immigration now'surging up the Great Republican Valley. It looks like old times to see the pas sengers crowding off the train at this station , as they are wont to do , these da3's. The rush west of here is so great that an extra coach is run on Xo. 1 as far west as Akron , Colo. The Congregational Sunday School has recently been provided with new books , bannersblackboardsetc. , which adds to the interest in and effectiveness of the work being done for the young in the way of religious training. The Bernheimer Bros , have rented tha entire ground floor of the Stanton Rolla building on West Dennison street , and will refit the same throughout , pre- paraton to the reception of a stoctc of clothing and merchant tailoring goods. In this time of sidewalk building no one can afford to he isolated by the lack of such facilities ; in this faith , Messrs. Coleman & Shaffer have connected their implement house on Manchester street with West Dennison street by a very necessary pavement. t A specialdrawing the outfit of those extension railroad contractors , Carlisles of Denver , went through this station , Friday evening , for the east. Wet goods were in high demand during the short delay of the train at this station , and things were correspondingly lively. Xew dress goods , prints , ginghams , etc.Just opened at Wilcox & Fowler's. glCLOAKS , CARPETS AND MEN'S CLOTHING AT COST ! EXAMINETHEM.WHATMORE DO YOU WANT ? THE EARTH ? HAYDEN & CO. With the first signs of spring conies a largely increased demand for residen ces to" rent. The few houses on the market for this purpose were quickly secured and the demand continues. The probabilities are that the supply will be entirely inadequate to the rush of house-seekers , this spring. A very convenient Automatic Tie Holder has been invented by E. M. Briekey of our city , which will prove a blessing to those afflicted with ambitious tieck-ties. He has filed a caveat on the same in the patent office , and expects to have the holder on the market in a short time. Some parries broke into E. J. Hall's house on his claim a few milles south of town , Saturday last , by tearing ope.r the shutters on one of his windows , and destroying the sash and lights. Noth ing was taken from the house. The tracks around the building would indi cate that a boy is the author of the mis chief. The Congregational sociable , which has been announced to take place at the residence of-T. S. Boslcy , to-morrow ( Friday ) evening , has been postponed , on account of the "Social Glass"per formance which occurs on that evening , until Friday eveningMarch 19th. The social will be held at the residence of T. S. Busley as before noted. Home talent will place "The Social Glass" on the boards at the Opera Hall , to-morrow evening. This exciting drama has been under constant rehears al by the company for a number of weeks past , and we feel safe in saying that it will be well presented and worthy of the patronage of our people. The prices are : Reserved seats. H5 ; general ad mission. 2F > cents. We are informed that the present lessees of the McCook Hotel have been given notice to vacate , and that Mr. Rock wood , who is now running the fruit stand in the old B. & 31. Pharma cy building , will in due time take charge of the hotel. We take great satisfac tion in announcing this fact , for under its present management the house has boen anything but a credit to our town , but rather to law-abid an eye-sore every - ing citizen. Twenty-two valuable claims near the head of the Frenchman Iliver in Chase county , the property of .hid L. Briinh of Greeley , Colo.were , recently cancell ed. The land department is not looking propitiously on the "slfcetiron"claim shack idea , which seems to have pre vailed numerously in this case. As soon as the fact of cancellation became , noised abroad , the claims were quickly gobbled by settlers who are constantly on the alert for such "snaps. " ' Over seventy-five persons enjoyed the social held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Palmer , last Friday evening , by the ladies of the 31. E. 3Iite Society , whose pleasant gatherings , this winter , have been uniformly well attended and felicitous. The host and hostess exerted themselves to the utmost to make the evening a pleasant one to the large corn- pan } * , and their efforts were not in vain. The society displayed 'some of their handiwork , considerable of which was purchased by the friends present. We must not forget the refreshments , which were an excellent feature of the social. THE BABY ACT AGAIN. In the matter of the county fair , Georgie of the Courier , as usual , pleads the baby act. and being well nigh con sumed with a feeling of impotent jeal ousy and envy himself , charges THE TRIBUNE with the paternity and pro mulgation of such a spirit , an allegation without warrant or foundation in fact , which brands the assertor as a prevar icator of the first water. Why bless your poor attenuated soul , Bishop , what cause can possible exist ( save in your own stipicious mind ) for the entertain ment of such sentiments on the part of THE TRIBUNE or the people of McCook ? However , it is the determination to make next fall's fair a success , with the as sistance of all parts of the county if possible , without it , if necessary. We expect to receive a generous support from the people of every section of the county , the-whining of the Courier to the contrary notwithstanding. FODDER FOR SALE.

The promotion of Terry , it is said , was at the instance of the Sherman influence , whilu Sheridan is exceedingly favorable to Crook for the succession to Pope. Gen. Howard does not seem to have as many and as strong friends in the army as some of his juniors , while his political friends are exclusively among republi cans , hence having little or no influence with the appointing power. Xotwith- standingthe President is alleged to have said that he would follow the line of seniority.it is very possible that Howard will be overlooked. Forest TVees ! Forest Trees !
