A XEW MEAT MARKET. Chas. D.
Phelps , of Culbertson , has rented the
building now occupied . by this office ,
and will open up a meat market there
in in a few weeks , or as soon as THE
TRIBUNE'S new quarters on Main Ave

THE TRIBUNE has in course of erec
tion ou Main Avenue an office building ,
which , when completed , will be among
the finest newspaporial headquarters in
Western Nebraska. Other prominent
features will be added in due time , no
tice of which will appear hereafter. .
The present officials of the McCook
TJ. S. Land Office , Register Laws and
Receiver Babcock , have received offi
cial information to the effect that
Messrs. Hart and Stelnmetz will , on
and after October 1st , occupy their
places at the government crib , at this
place.
The first of the week , C. T. Brewer
moved into his new quarters , lately oc
cupied by McCracken. on the east side
of Main Avenue. The City Market is
now in very snug quarters , and we
might add. highly ornamental ones ,
taking the patriotic coloring into the
account.

The addition , alterations and im
provements which Messrs. W. C. La-
Tourette & Co. have bee.n making to
their brink store building on Main Av
enue , are about completed. Both
eomiiiodiousness and convenience have
been subserved , and their store now
ranks among the largest and finest in
thr. city.
The hand.-ome McXeely brick re
ceived the finishing touches , this week ,
and is now ready for the counters ,
shelving , etc. The building is one of
the most substantial and artistic struct
ures in the city , to which it is a credit ,
as well as to the contractor , J. F. Col
lins. It may be properly styled , "a
thing of beauty and a joy forever. "
Last week , Messrs. Stokes & Troth ,

Last Friday , W. 'A. Tailor , of Cul-
bertson , was taken dangerously ill , in
this city , with epilepsy. He was taken
into the Star restaurant , where he re
ceived medical attendance until Satur
day noon , when he was removed to his
home at Culbertson. His condition
was considered quite critical during
part of Friday night.
The Circle-W ranch people. Messrs.
Kilpatrick Bros , of Beatrice , last Sun
day evening , .shipped a train load of
I feeders from Culbertson to their farm
near Beatrice , where the } * will be fed
during the coming winter fer the mar
ket. The steers were of various ages ,
from two years upwards. They were
gathered on "the Frenchman range.
Tiie time for holding the county fair ,
| October fi , ( , 7 and 8 , will soon be
here. Let every energy be exerted to
make it such a notable success as that
it will be a credit and an advertisement
to our county. All people should feel
interested in the matter and lend
their aid and encouragement. When
barring bad weather , we will have a
grand fair.
The buildings on the old Farley cor
ner are being moved to make room for
the new brick building , which Y.
Franklin will have built thereon , this
fall. Brown's restaurant building is
being moved onto the lot-adjoining
Hover & Cooley's late implement
house. The meat market building will
occupy the rear of the lot upon which
it is now located.
The publishers of THE TRIBUNE
have commenced the erection of a com
modious office building on Main Ave
nue. This enterprise will absorb all
the available means of the firm , and
more too. and we take this means of
gently suggesting to our subscribers
our immediate need of funds , hoping
that they will come forward promptly
and pay the small sum they are now
owing us.
His MAIDEN EFFORT. Will A.
Clute went down to Arapahoe , Tues
day morning , to take a position as
freight brakeman on the B. & M. His
first attempt to couple two freight cars
at that station , resulted in the loss of
his left thumb , which is now with the
company's physician at this place , Dr.
A. J. Wiliey , who amputated it , Tues
day noon. The .accident is a very un
fortunate one. indeed.
INDIAN RELICS. A few days since ,
while some workmen were making an
excavation on J. B. Meserve'.s ranch ,
ou Brush Creek , they dug up a partial
skeleton of a "noble red man. " who.
TIO doubt , in tho hoy-days of yore ,
roamed the classic Brush Creek coun
try with all the native freedom of his
people. Shells and other trinkets were
also unearthed. There are other indi
cations of Indian mounds in the vicinity.
A crowded house greeted Rev. J. S.
Kelsey , of the Congregational church ,
last Sunday evening , upon the occasion
of his special sermon to the ' 'mer
chants of McCook. " The sermon
showed careful preparation , thorough
research and deep thought , on the part
of the reverend gentleman , and it was
listened to with more serious attention
than is usually accorded efforts from
the. pulpit. Every merchant in the
city should have heard it
The band bo\s have secured the ser
vices of Prof. F. (1. Minkler , of Minne
apolis , under whose valuable and thor
ough instructions the } * are now prac
ticing three times a week. The pro
fessor is considered by authorities in
the musical line a fine instructor in the
various branches of instrumental "and
vOcal music , and our citizens will not
be able to recognize their favorite band
in a few weeks. To in a measure
lighten the heavy expenses incurred ,
the boys propose holding a number of
concerts in due time.
A plain drunk was taken in by the
Chief of Police , Monday , for begging
on the streets , ( the lucre being prompt
ly resolved into "liquid lightning. ' " )
and making himself otherwise a nuis
ance. The fellow rather got the
Chief 'on the hip. " while en route to
the "base burner , " and by a dexterous1
movement our cop was thrown prone
upon mother earth righte violentlee. "
The prisoner paid dearly for his amuse
ment , being summarily punished by
the Chiefs cane , generously handled.
The fellow was financially embarrassed
and upon his release , promptly hied
himself away to more congenial climes.
The chief suffered some inconvenience
and pain from a bruised ankle.

--FoOLS rush in where angels fear to
tread , " geeias to be particularly'appli
cable to tho editor of the Indiinola
Courier. We hadhoped that tie
friends of Bishop might be able to re-
{ "strain the arch-kicker within th § ; jrtrts-
jonable bounds of-'ccnTsis'tency and de-
i cency , but in this-week's issue that fond
i hope is blasted Tho editor seems to
, be laboring under ihv onnsuming in
spiration of a serious attack of delir
ium treuiens. Uis tongue runs awav
with him. He froths" and gnashes his
teeth upon all who oppose the very in
dividual whom he so bitterly and vio
lently opposed in 1SS3. In support'oT
| this statement , we will next week pro
duce a few articles from the Courier of
November 5. 1883. We will do so
simply to prove Bishop's consistency.
Xot satisfied with thus ' 'letting down
the bars , " he ventures into the troub-
[ lous and oft-times dangerous province
of personal journalism. This is a move
that may well fill his friends' souls
with horrible anticipation. For if there
is one person more than another in Red
Willow county who can illy afford such
an encounter , it is G. S. Bishop , of the
Indianola Courier. This statement we
have the papers to substantiate. We
hope it will not be necessary. One who
will thus complacently enter that prov
ince must be the superlative product
of the gods to come out recognizable.
No man who is commendably endeavor
ing to out live an unfortunate record i
should presume to do it.
Those settlers living in the extreme ]
northwestern portion of this county , on j
the line between this and Frontier coun-1
ty , have always been more or less an
noyed by reason of the notoriously bad
survey made in that section. On anj j
other page we produce a letter from '
Acting Commissioner , S. 31. Stocks-
berger , of the department of the inter- i
ior , which has an important bearing on
that troublesome subject , the existence
of which he seems to recognize. In
his opinion the only remedy is an offi
cial re-survey , which , he further says. I
will not be ordered by his office without j
specific authority from congress. Thus j
it appears that the only means availa- '
ble are petitions by the settlers , and !
perhaps the County Commissioners , to !
Congress , to order a re-survey. It is
clear that the sooner the survey is
made and the matter settled , the better
it will be for all parties concerned.
In order to accommodate the entire I
school going population and to relieve ;
the overcrowded condition of the presj j
ent buildings , the Board of Education
have commenced the erection of an ad
ditional room , 22x40 feet in dimension ,
on West Douglas street , at the section
line. This will necessitate the em
ployment of another primary teacher ,
as it is in the lower grades that the
largest attendance exists. With this
new room and teacher the schools will
be able to get along very comfortably
this year. Another year and the dis
trict will be in a shape to put a build
ing in keeping with the city , and one
that will meet the every demand of the
school * .

1SS < * . ivque-tinsr infoiination in regard to the
restoration of lost corners in certain eases
not covered by the piinted rules issued by
this office. 1 have to state : It appears from
your letter that in subdividing town-hip ,
north , range : ) west t th r. M. , Xebraska ,
the Deputy Surveyor carried his lines across
the First Standard Parallel Xorth and estab
lished hiclosing corner from twenty to
thirty chains north thereof ; that at the
southeast comer of Section 1C , a plain gov
ernment comer with mound and four Rood
pits are found , but that the distance from
said corner to the Standard is 2 mile- . j..K )
chains , instead of 2 miles 7 .96 chains , are
corded in the field notes. Also that a plain
government comer is found at the southwest
corner of section 4. and the distance from
said rorner to the Standard i > 50.00 chains ,
instead of T9.1S chains , as per government
field notes. Admitting your statements as
to the actual location of the section comers
and the closing corners to be true , it would
appear that a gross fraud had been perpe
trated in the original survey , and the closing
comers having been established without re
gard to the location of the Standard upon
which they should have been established ,
the u-ual rule requiring the restoration of
lost corners by proportionate measurement
between existing original comers , cannot be
applied , and I am of the opinion that the
unly remedy in the case presented byon ,
would be an official re-survey. L'nder exist
ing regulations , re-surveys will not be order
ed by this otllce without specific authority of
Congre.Very Itespectfully ,
