We desire to felicitate the Gazette

the expenses of the entertainment of
the members of the association.
The women of the town , some thir
teen in all , were arrested , Monday , and
brought before Police Judge Fisher , who
fined them $10 each. One gay gamb
ler was also among the outfit , and he was
mulcted in the sum of $20. If the au
thorities will repeat this dose frequent
ly enough , they will soon rid the city of
a large proportion of the scabs that now
infest it. Do they propose to do so , or
will they virtually license these offend
er ? against law and morality by fining
them thus at stated intervals ? THE
TnniL'NE favors no compromise with
that element.
The Board of Directors held a meet
ing , Monday evening , at which Messrs.
Laws , Trowbridge , Phelan , Helm and
Dauchy were present. The Board pro
ceeded to the selection of a corps of
teachers for the ensuing year. The en
tire present corps of teachers was re
tained , save Mrs. W. S. Webster , who
was not an applicant for a position.
Miss Rachael Berry of Virginia , Cass
county , 111. , a sister of H. II. Berry of
our city , was elected assistant to the
principal. Miss Berry has a first grade
certificate from Illinois , and will doubt
less prove an efficient instructor. There
were an unusually large number of ap
plicants , comprehending some excellent
teachers.
On Monday , C. D. Ercanbrack dispos
ed of his beautiful farm , situated two
miles north of the city , emb.-acing a
homestead and a timber claim adjoin
ing , in all 3GO acres , to Mr. Stephen
Ryan of Ohio , for a consideration of
$3,700 cash in hand. The purchase
includes some $800 worth of personal
property , house , barn , corrals , etc.
Mr. Ryan has been viewing all the land
in this vicinity during the past two
weeks , and in this purchase has secured
a bargain. Situated as it is , contiguous
to a young and growing city like ours ,
the farm is sure to increase in value
and to prove a good investment. Mr.
Ryan , we understand , will move onto
his farm in the near future , and will
improve it as his ample means will
warrant.
A man named A. L. Rhinehull , form
erly of OaklandIowabutwho , , has been
homesteading in Kansas , some 25 miles
south of here , for some time , died at
the Star restaurant , Monday evening ,
after lingering a few days in terrible
agony. His mother was telegraphed
the news of her son's death , but no in
structions concerning the disposition of
the remains were received , and the
stranger was accordingly interred by the
county in the cemetery northwest of the
city. As the physicians were in doubt
as to the disease which caused his death ,
a post mortem was held , revealing a
terrible state of the oinentum , which
had become enlarged from a delicate
membrane to the thickness of two or
three inches , besides being completely
honey-combed by tubercular deposits.
The examination was made by Drs. Kay
and Davis. The deceased was about
35 years of age.
If the business men of this city are
alive to their best interests , they will
take most energetic steps in the direc
tion of improving the public roads lead
ing north from here. Every day these
highways remain in their present almost
impassable condition , the merchants
and other business men of our city will
lose a certain and by no means inconsid
erable amount of trade which naturally
belongs to this point. There are many
substantial traders on the Upper Willow
and Medicine creeks who prefer coming
to this citr , but who are now compelled
to go elsewhere perforce of the execra
ble roads leading into this city. Let
the proper forces be set in motion to
ward securing better roads. They are
of vital importance. Our merchants
can't aiford to let their trade go else
where because of poor roads.
On Tuesday noon was closed the
most extensive contest case that has
ever occupied the local land officers at
"this place. We refer to the Dever-
Colviu contest , which involves the
southeast quarter of section 28 , lying
just east of the Republican Valley
Ilorse Breeders' Association's grounds ,
held by G. W. Colvin of Arapahoe as a
timber-claim. Fifteen days were occu
pied in the hearing.of this case. The
testimony covered 4(57 ( pages of legal
cap. 1275 questions being asked dur
ing the hearing. Lellew & Leach ap
peared for the contestant Dever , while
Cochran & Helm and Boyle & Kelley
looke.d after Mr. Colvin's interests.
The case is now under consideration.
Both parties feel assured ofsuccess. ,

THE HAYDEN FAILURE It becomes
our unpleasant duty to chronicle another
business failure in our city , this time the
unfortunate parties being the pioneer
firm of our town W. II. flaydcn & Co. ,
whose extensive establishment was taken
possession of , Monday , by the Omaha
National Bank of Omaha , Paxton &
Gallagher of Omaha , and the Exchange
National Bank of Hastings , under the
terms of chattel mortgage held by them
against the firm , amounting , we under
stand , to over $20,000. Just what the
liabilities of the firm will amount to is
a matter of conjecture , some place it as
high as $50,000. The store at this
place is now in the bauds of the above-
named mortgagees , who are invoicing
the stock preparatory to selling the same
off at retail. The Atwood store is in
the hands of the Citizens Bank of this
city , who hold a chattel mortgage of over
$4,000 against the content , the same is
now being invoiced , and ill also be re
tailed out to satisfy the terms of the
mortgage. Mr. V.Franklin is personal
ly looking after the bank's interests.
Messrs. Ballard of Omaha and Papin of
Indianola are here looking after the in
terests of the Omaha National and Pas-
ton & Gallagher respectively. What
the other creditors will do remains to be
seen. Deputy Sheriff Bennett created
a momentaiy breeze of excitement ,
Monday evening , by breaking into the
store to attach some goods. The mort
gagees advertise to commence the sale
ol goods on Saturday.
s
Many of our citizens will be glad to
know that Mr. Patrick Egan of Lincoln ,
Neb. , has laid out his land just north of
McCook into beautiful 5 acre lots , with
broad streets and avenues on every side
of same. One of these blocks contains
at least thirty of our residence lots , or
equal to about two and one-half city
blocks. "Egan Park" lies two blocks
west and about six or eight blocks north
of the City Park or water tank in Mc
Cook and only ten minutes walk from
the centre of the city. .There are six
teen in all and those who desire to avail
themselves of the opportunity now offer
ed them of securing more spacious
grounds where city ordinances will not
reach them and where they can keep
cows , calves , pigs , poultry of all kinds ,
and where they can plant large fruit
orchards and have truck patches for
their own use and for sale in the city ,
should lose no time in seeing Thos. Gol
fer , who is agent for these blocks. Sev
eral have been already be spoke and the
prices and terms are within the reach
of all. With the continued growth of
our city Egan Park will soon cease to
be a suburb of McCook , but will be part
and parcel of the whole.
On Tuesday evening , Sheriff Joe
Small of Hayes county , arrived in the
city , haying a warrant for the arrest of
oneWilliam Hildebrand , on the charge
of attempted rape. The accused has
been1 in the employ of the Hoover Im
plement Co. of this city , and has a wife
and family residing here. The crime is
said to have been committed about the
first of this month , on the person of a
poor , ignorant German girl , in Hayes
count } ' , Hildebrand enticing her from
her home under the guise of wanting
a hired girl. During the evening , Hil-
debrand succeeded in eluding the sheriff ,
and it was only through the assistance
of our police that the prisoner was
again secured. He was finally captured
iu the cellar of his residence , and plac
ed in the cooler over night. The sheriff
proceeded on Wednesday morning for
Hayes Centre , with his prisoner.
Before going to press it is reported
that Hiidebrand.was hanged shortly af
ter his arrival in Hayes county. Nothing
authentic.
We learn from some confidential
friends of the editor of the boodle organ
on Main Avenue , that the penny para
graphcr thereof purposes in his heart to
publish a thrilling serial , in the near fu
ture , entitled , "What I know about
State stationery and waste baskets. " It
will embrace some interesting personal
experiences by the author and will of ne
cessity be absorbing reading. This
story will be carried on in addition to
those es&ays on moral and political
ethics now in press. If the editor of
the corkscrew could just be induced to
relate some of his personal observations
while editing that prohibition sheet in
Kansas , some few years since ; as well
as to throw some light on the time he
was running that republican journal in
this state , at a still later date , his cup
of glory will run over.
Some dastardly wretches placed a tie
on the track near Rheischick's place a
few miles west of this city , Tuesday
evening , but fortunately causing no
damage , as the obstruction was thrown
from the track by the engine which drew
No. 1 , that evening. Engineer Hunt
was pulling the train.
F.D. HOBBS of Grand Island , land of
fice inspector , has been in the city .since
last Thursday. The impression having
gone abroad that Hobbs was here to "in
spect" the various applicants for the
land office , Wahlquist of the wet goods
organ immediataly presented his card ,
seeking an interview. The inspector
has since been quite indisposed.
GLADSTONE'S Irish Home Rule bill ,

An appeal is to be made to the people ,

Ex accordance with The Journal's an
nouncement last fall and in pursuance
of an understanding arrived at between
this railroad commission and the man
agement of the Colorado Central Coal
and Mining company , during the visit
of members of the commission to Den
ver , a schedule of rates for Canon City
coal will soon go into effect at all sta
tions on the B. & M. railroad and its
branches in Nebraska. According to
this schedule a graduated scale of pri
ces is made for the retail dealers , the
price increasing a little as the distance
increases from Denver until competing
points are reached where the Wyoming
coal comes in , such points as Beatrice
and Lincoln.
The maximum price at any point to
consumers will be $7.25 per ton. West
of McCook the price will be under$7.00.
This is a reduction on all points west of
Beatrice of $1.75 to $2.00 per ton. The
new contracts of the Colorado Central
Coal and Mining Company with its
agents will , in accordance with the re
quest of the commission , limit the retail
dealer to the figures given.
The question has received a good deal
of attention from the commission , and
it is with great pleasure that it hails
the advent of the new schedule. When
it is stated that the quality of Canon
City coal that is brought to Nebraska
is retailed in Denver at $5.50 per ton ,
it will be seen that the rate of transpor
tation to Nebraska's extremely low.
SPARKS' order suspending pre-emp
tion and timber-culture filings has been
peremptory revoked by the Secretary ,
