Ludwick and others are planting trees around their iremises and improving things generally.

Tbe pay car made its monthly pilgriui- ige over the B. & M. , Monday , replen- shing the boys' exchequer at this place on that evening.

This is fine weather for the thousands of trees recently planted in this city and neighborhood. Cool , damp weather is ust what they want to make them start a booming. Twenty-three travelling men made the McEntee House headquarters , Sun day. While the old reliable Commer cial and other hotels were taxed to their utmost capacity. Tho. Democrat does not s.eem to be satisfied with the gm.ou.n.t of land notices ; t i § receiving isansequen.tly cuts ya.tes and Barters its already badly smirched reputation for veracity. WILL DRUM Ed.

Now doth the busy , bustling assessor rustle around to ascertain how much property the coy and shy citizens do not possess. Assessor Colvin is doing the act in Willow Grove precinct. MOVED TO THE CITV Dr. , Z. L. Kay . . , , .t : : ' .t j " * * has moved } r4 ° tpwnt and will hereafter bp found at his residence , first door east of Receiver Babcock , at night His patrons will observe the change. Yesterday , a young fellow by the name of William Haskins was sentenced to the county jail for ten days for petty larceny stealing a pair of "chaps" be longing to F. D. Hess , and selling vh im. Pur rustling little county capital comes to the front , this week , with a National Bank. Indianola is to be con gratulated upon her laudable endeavors to keep well in. sight of this metropolis. McCook is the rnost popular Sunday resort for commercial tourists in the Republican Valley. Our hotels make it so. Superior accommodations and general excellence is thus recognized , simply. THIRTY DAYS Tim Murphy , who has become "a familiar land-mark on our streets , as a disgusting , dissipated olc loafer , was sent to the county jail , Mon day , for stealing some pipes , tobacco , etc. , from the Kuesterrestaurant , the first of the w'eek. With this issue we send out over 30C copies of the Chicago Weekly Intei j Ocean , the best weekly newspaper ir j the west , which we are offering in cop ' nection with THE TRIBUNE for $2.5 ( in advance. This is a fine opportunit ; to secure cheap reading. The Indianola Times has been taken poi ( > e.-sion of by tbe firm of Manlor. Luse & Co. of Chicago , to satisfy un unpaid mortgage of over $1,200 , which they held against the office. Again have we a demonstration of the fact that you can't conduct a bona fide newspaper very long on wind , although the article is bountifully supplied in this country by nature. It takes some means and ability to successfully sail over the tempestuous sea of journalism. We understand that Bishop of the Courier proposes replenishing his depleted office by purchasing the material , excepting the second-hand Proutv. As our readers will observe per card in this issue , Prof. Webbter is arranging to have Eli Perkins , the celebrated hu morist , lecture in our city , April 2 ( > th , Monday a week , provided a sufficient number of tickets can bo sold. Eli Per kins' reputation is national and he needs no commendation at our hands. We hope our citizens , who have liberally > atronized far less meritorious enter- uents than Mr. Perkins will give , will crowd the Opera Hall and thus in a Measure reimburse Prof. Webster for lis heavy losses heretofore. Tickets will > e on sale at once. IN TROUBLE AGAIN While intoxi cated , Gene Hall became engaged in a ittle racket at Clyde's saloon , Monday , n which he was severely used up by the ) ar-tender. Taylor , who afterwards had jene arrested for assault and battery. 3ene thinks it pretty hard luck to be cnocked around like an old shoe , and hen arrested for assault and battery. 3ut that's what whiskey does for a man every time. It knocks a man down and hen kicks him for falling , and the best way to keep out of trouble , the surest ueans of avoiding such treatment , is to ot liquor and saloons severely alone. To-day , the First National Bank of ! ndianola commences operations with a capital of $50,000. The First Nat-onal succeeds to the banking business of the lied Willow County Bank , while the latter bank will deal hereafter exclu sively in farm loan ? , school district. municipal and cotintybotjds. The First National will be under the management of Senator Dolan , one of the ablest financiers of the Valley , and this assures an ably conducted banking institutiDn , a credit to the town of Indianola and Red Willow County. STILL ANOTHER Ex-Lieut. Gov. A. WAgee. of Aurora was jn the city , Monday and Tuesday , arranging for the establishment of a branch law office at this place. He has secured rooms over the Paragon drug store , which he will return in a week or so and fit up for that purpose.

His machine has a capacity of 20,000 per day , by the wet process. The yard is complete with drying sheds of about 30.000 capacity , well , tank , wind , mill , and all the necessary appliances for turning out first-class bricks rapidly. He will have a ready sale for all lie can manufacture. Upon all three appearances of tha Jay Sirarns Combination in our city , the first of this week , the Opera Hall was well filled , and the various plays present ed enjoyed and appreciated. The com bination is composed in the main of fair talent , and the success with which they have met and the impressions they have made will insure them a favorable recep tion should they ever return to this city. MORE RESIDENCES J.A. . Brewer is having a dwelling hlouisp erected o.n Mact farlapd street , immediately north.of Mrs. Hamin's new house. Another is in course of construction In West MoCook. While all over tha city are residences in various stages of completion , which will be hurried along with all expedition during this fine weather.

Any agent will write a policy at short notice. R. S. COOLEY , Acent , McCook , Neb. The fact tlrat tbe devil himself once displayed great aptitude for scriptural quotation , is perhaps not more remark able for sublime gall , than the prating of the prohibito-republican editor of the Democrat about political honor , con sistency , etc. , ad naufeum. Does it sound wanly for an alleged republican , who is running a so-called bourbon sheet to harp about political honor ? How much confidence does an individual , pompous and important though he may be in carriage and demeanor , inspire who once run a prohibUioa paper in bleeding Kansas , hut who now edits , with the liberal use of scissors and the resurrection of ancient chestnuts and dressing them in an ostensible garb of originality , a saloon dodger , with spec ial departments for the rest of the trio women and cards. To thoughtful , honest people such a character for po litical integrity must appear noble in deed. Or is the real elegant , display of cheek most to be admired ? Money Saved.
