Courier : McCook did us proud by
coming down in large numbers , both by
train and in carriages , and the efforts of
her people on this occasion should be
kindly remembered by "our citizens.
McCook's citizens swelled the ranks
to
of the celebrators at Indianola , Stratton ,
Danbury , Cambridge , etc. Next year
we hope to entertain all these people at
this place in true metropolitan style.

They had a inother-hubbard soap-bub
ble combination birth-day celebration up
at the old maid's ranchlast , Friday even-
ing. It was distinctively a "hen party"
and of necessity intensely interesting ,
besides , being grotesque and voluble.
The celebration at Indianola , Satur
day , is reported as having been the
grandest ever held in the town. The
Courier estimates that there were be-
j tween 3,000 and 4,000 people in attend
ance. Everything passed off quietly.
-As fine a field ofoats , as ever came
under the granger editor's optic is that
of TJ. JJ. Mitchell , just northeast of
town. He has GO acres that is superb ,
arid challenges the admiration of all who
see it. His other crops are equally fine.

in tliis issue , it will be seen that Brewer
Bros , have dissolved the co-partnership

is a newly made grave , about one-half
mile north of Dr. Spickelmier's place ,
northeast of town , that needs investiga
tion by the authorities. We have no
particulars , and simply give the sug
gestion at its worth.
Over 1,000 people participated in the
Danbury-Hamburg celebration , and we
learn from those who were prominent
workers in the affair that it was an un
qualified and notable success in its every
feature. Base ball , dancing , etc. , in
the day time , and a nice display of fire
works in the evening , composed in part
the program.
Some of the journalistic friends have
been endeavoring to work up a "gold
boom" for McCook. Desist , brethren.
McCook don't want so cheap aboomlet.
All that our people need to do is to
work and improve the mine already in
sight. We have here the nucleus for a
sprightly little city , without springing
the "gold craze" chestnut.
The American Association of Civil
Engineers passed through the city ,
Thursday night last. The association
was on an excursion to Denver and trav
eled in their own special train. .From
Denver the party visited the various
points of interest in the mountain , round
ing off with a grand reception at the
Windsor , Denver , Monday night.
A twelve-year-old daughter of George
Huggins , who resides a few miles south
east of the city , sustained a severe and
painful fracture of an armpit the wrist ,
last Thursday , by falling from a horse.
Professional skill was summoned from
this place , the injured member dressed ,
the sufferer's pain alleviated as much
as may be , and her rapid recovery is
anticipated.
Two Enyeart brothers , William and
Lon , imbibed a little too freely of the
bowl that intoxicates , Saturday , and be
coming involved in some trouble at
Walsh & Boyd's saloon , were arrested
and brought before Police Judge Fisher ,
who fined them $1 each and costs. It
is probably unnecessary to remark that
King Alcohal scarcely ever fails to get
people into trouble.
Last Saturday night , while two young
men were returning to the city from the
Driftwood , they wandered from the
road , and drove into an abandoned well
on John Whittakers's farm , on the
south side , killing one of the horses.
The animal belonged to Frank Everts ,
of the new Macfarland street livery ,
upon whom the loss falls heavily. The
affair is unfortunate for all parties con
cerned.
THE TRIBUNE is in receipt of an in
vitation to the nuptials of Rev. W. S.
Wheeler , pastor of the M. E. church of
our city , and Miss Ella Stevens of Bal
timore , Md. The ceremony which thus
unites this estimable young couple will
occur at the Harford Avenue M. E.
Church , Baltimore , Md. , Monday , July
12th , 188G. THE TRIBUNE takes this
occasion to extend the hearty congratu
lations and well wishes of this people.
Of all the sad and heart-rending
scenes of earth , that of a human being ,
upon whose brow the snows of many
winters have left their hoary frost , stag
gering along the broad high-way of life
fast setting , in helpless and hopeless
inebriety , bereft alike of coherent rea
son and certain locomotionis , sadest and
most heart-rending. Angels' e.yes be
hold nothing more sorrowful and shed
tears of pity , and why should man per
ceive anything mirth-provoking therein.
JUNIUS JR.
Monday's races at the driving park
were well attended. The event of the
day was the free-for-all race partici
pated in by I. J. S. , Gold Seal and a
pacer. The first heat went to I. J. S.
in 2:45. The second heat was also taken
by I. J.S.in , 2:41 : , thus lowering Iowa's
fastest record for 3-year-olds , and mak
ing the best time ever trotted by a 3-
year-old west of the Mississippi. The
half-mile dash was accomplished in 50
seconds. Mr. Starbuck has a superb
animal , one doubtless destined to make
a remarkable record , if his present
achievements are indications.

COUNTY INSTITUTE.
Our citizens should not lose sight of
the important fact that the teachers of
lied Willow county meet in this place ,
beginning July 19th , in the pursuit of
their regular institute work. Also , of
the further and necessary fact of the
entertainment of said teachers. To this
end , we are requested to ask those of
our people who feel disposed to enter
tain teachers , to the best of their facil
ities and accommodations , to leave their
names and the number they will take
with Mr. II. T. Anderson , above First
National Bank. We want to impress it
upon the minds of the people , that in
order to secure the attendance we should
have , energetic means will have to be
taken toward taking care of those who
desire to come. Let us be as hospitable
as our accommodations and means will
allow. Prof. Webster informs us that
he will make a personal canvass of this
matter , next week. Amo'ng the studies
and instructors are : Prof. Ilubbell ,
Grammar , Arithmetic and Geography.
Prof. Webster , Algebra , U. S. History
and Civil Government. Book Keeping
and Penmanship , Mr. H. T. Anderson.
Time will be set apart , as well , for the
free discussion of the theory of teaching.
The salary of the postmaster at Mc
Cook will be $1,000 next year against
$1,100 this year. Is McCook booming
backward ? Haigler lleporter.
The above is a sample of articles now
going the rounds of the press. That
thft writers are unwittingly making false
statements we feel assured. The writer
has seen and read the official document
whereby this office was made a third
class office and the salary of the post
master raised to $1,500 per year. Mc
Cook is not booming on the descending
progressive order bany manner of
means , but is moving forward , with the
brightest prospects ahead that the city
has ever had since its establishment.
Just mark our gait.
A fine collection of samples of Hed
Willow county grain and grasses were
shipped to the DCS Moincs ll
William Coleman , last week.
specimens were secured by Mr. Coleman
in various parts of the county , and are
but fair samples of the crops as they
may be found all over the county , and
they will doubtless induce the Register
to recant its fables about drouth and
grass hoppers. Mr. C. also sent a box
of earth to still further persuade the
unbelieving. Such efforts arc praise
worthy and commendable indeed.
Both of our city bands received high
est compliments from the people of
Stratton and Cambridge , for the high
class of music rendered. We feel safe
in the assertion that McCook has as fine
band talent as the state affords.
