IN LOVE WITH THE COUNTRY. A.
C. Monger , of Amboy , Illinois , was
looking over this county , a few days ,
last week , and he was so well pleased
with our city , that he contracted for the
farm of J. F. Ganschow , which lays
two miles from this place , the consider
ation per acre being $15. Mr. Monger
had visited other portions of the state ,
but found nothing in the likeness of
land that struck his fancy like Red
Willow county. He also purchased a
quarter section in Hitchcock county.
This city , we are informed , is the
sixth in the United States to adopt the
Public School savings bank system. It
is a matter of considerable comment
over the state. The Lincoln Journal
makes the following observations :
A penny school savings bank has been or
ganized in connection with the McCook city
schools. The deposits made by the children
will be placed in the bank , and will draw in
terest at the rate of 6 per cent , per annum.
This is a good idea and Nebraska teachers
generally should fall in with it. What is
sadly needed is that the rising generation
shall have better business sense than is com
mon with the present one.
Last Saturday evening , while enjoy
ing horseback ride with a number of
schoolmates , May O'Brien was thrown
from her pony on West Dennison
street , and as her foot remained in the
stirrup , she was dragged a short dis
tance on the ground before the horse
could be stopped by a gentleman who
was standing on the sidewalk at the
time. Fortunately , however , the rider
escaped injury , save a tew bruises and
scratches , and a thorough scare. Ap
ropos , this accident , very fortunate in
its results as it happened , should warn
the girls against too rapid riding , espec
ially in the business portion of the city ,
where animals are far more liable to be
frightened , and.accidents to occur.
The democrats of this senatorial dis
trict met in convention at the Opera
Hall , last Saturday afternoon , and
placed in nomination , S. W. Stilge-
bouer of Danbury precinct , this county ,
by a unanimous vote. Mr. Stilgebouer
is the most popular democrat , probably ,
in this county , and THE TRIBUNE feels
constrained to add. a man of sterling
character and excellent parts , the only
objection we can advance is his politics.
His home county will give him a very
complimentary vote. The usual busi
ness of such political bodies was also
transacted , the details of which we
have not the space to give , after which
the august assembly dissolved , or tried
to.

ATTENTIOH , EXHIBITORS.
The attention of exhibitors at the
County and District Fair , to be held at
McCook , next week , is called to the
following mistakes in the premium list ,
made by the printur and unnoticed by
the management until said premium
lists had been generally circulated.
Premiums will be paid as follows :
In Class 2 , the premiums offered in
Lot 1 , will govern all Ihe other lots ,
and there will be but one grand sweep
stakes open to all ages and breeds ,
same as in Class 1 , horses.
In Class 3 , the-same rule will apply.
Premiums offered on Lot 1 , cotswolds ,
will govern all the other lots in the
Class , with one grand sweepstake.
So also in Class 4 , hogs. Premiums
offered in Lot 1 , will govern all other
Lots itthe class , with but one grand
sweepstake.
Action of the Prohibition Committee.
Pursuant to a call by the chairman ,
the Red Willow County Prohibition
Committee met at the Court House in
Indianola at 9 o'clock A.M. , Saturday ,
September 25th , for the purpose of nom
inating a county ticket. The meeting
was presided over by Rev. Norval of
McCook. J. P. Squire of Driftwood
was chosen secretary. After prayer by
Rev. Ellis and some well chosen remarks
by Mr. Norval in behalf of and in justi
fication of the party , the meeting pro
ceeded to nominations. I. T. Birdsali
of Valley Grange precinct by a unani
mous vote of the meeting was nominated
for Representative. J. P. Squire , Inde
pendent candidate for County Commis

remarks by a number of the members
tending to advance the interests of the
party the meeting adjourned. COM.

ANOTHER WHACKER WHACKETH.
ED. COURIER : I wish to say something
bout commissioner. Mr. Green has been
ccused of running a saloon in McCook , and
lat , too , without a license. This accusation
as never been denied , farther than to call
ic saloon a drug store.
Not long ago , a man by the name of Quig-
; y run a drug store in McCook. Quigley's
rug store was called a saloon. Quigley al-
j run his drug store without license. Quig-
; y was arrested , kicked out and fined one
undred dollars ! Green is "boosted up" and
ominated for commissioner by the Great
: epublican Party of Red Willow county.
Now , what is the difference between the
, vo men ? Mr. Editor , this is the only dif-
jrence : Green sells to a class of men who
rink but little at a time , but drink that lit-
Q often , and never get enough ! Quigley
