In order to meet the demand for more room. II. A. Everts has had a considerable addition built to his barn on Mrrcfarland and Dodge , this week. Lebanon is the banner precinct , this 3'car , with 47 republicans votes as against 1 poor little bourbon. Tyrone comes next with 20 to 7 in favor of the republicans. Saturday afternoon , the-effects of J. W. Smith , the West Dennison barber , were sold under the hammer , Joe Spotts crying the sale. We under stand Mr. Smith intends removing to Michigan. The members of the Lutheran church , with a few friends , indulged in a social at the residence of Rev. J. W.Kimmel , last evening. A very pleasant occasion is reported. Some business matters of the church were also discussed. Prairie fires have already destroyed a large scope of range along the B : & M. west of this point , especially in the vicinity of Wray and Eckley. Fires are reported by railroad men as being more extensive than at this time last year. year.On On Monday , W. W. Jossellyn , who has held the position of train agent on the B. & M. for some time , stepped down and out , to accept a position , and to enter upon the discharge of its duties , in the roadmasters' offices at this di vision Station. A Sunday school institute will be lieldin the lied Willow Christian church commencing Tuesday evening , Nov. 9th , and continuing over Sunday. The state Sundayschool evangelist will con duct the meeting. A general invita tion is extended. This week , J. A. Snyder commenced ; he erection of a dwelling on his farm fust ; north of the city limits. It is to be 16x28 feet in dimension , one and one-half stories high , , bay window , porch , etc. . and will be a very creditable structure when completed. We call the attention of the young people to the program of entertainment prepared by the committee for the next meeting of the Young Peoples' Asso ciation , at F. L. McCracken's residence , Friday evening , November 12th. The program appears in this issue. The election in Willow Grove pre cinct was exceedingly quiet and orderly , the vote polled being notably light , probably 100 short of the full vote of precinct under ordinarily favorable cir cumstances. Scratching was largely engaged in throughout the day. The new land officials. Register Hart and Receiver Steinmetz , entered upon the pursuit and discharge of their re spective duties in the McCook U. S. Land Office , Monday morning , Novem ber 1st. A portion of the old clerical force is at present retained , and the affairs and business of the office , ardu ous as they surely are. are progressing as usual. If feasible the company ought to de vise some means of informing the traveling public of the fact that a cer tain time is devoted at this station to making up of trains. It is almost a daily occurrence to see men risking life and limb to board the cars during the shunting of trains , and it is really a source of wonderment that no one has so far been injured. The election of editors for the school paper to be read Nov. 12 , 1SSG , was held Friday , Oct. 29th. The following pupils were elected to take charge of the paper : Editor , Theo. Laws ; ass't editor. May Clark ; local editor , Elva Hunt ; general news editor , Edwin Wilcow. A cordial invitation is ex tended to the public to attend. The new drug firm of McMillcn & Weeks have rented the McNcely brick ind hope by the latter part of the coin ing week to move into and occupy the same. .The location is one' of the best in the city , and the store-room one of the finest , and with their largely aug mented stock and new quarters , the ) ivill have one of the handsomest estab- ishmeuts in Western Nebraska. The building association is erecting i lesidenoe in the northeastern part of ; he city for a Mr. Taylor of Nebraska 3ity. The main buiiding is 16x28 ft. is to size , with a kitchen addition L2xl Q. The dwelling will be complete vith porches , bay window , etc. , and yill be in accord with the other pleas- int homes of that neighborhood. There can be nothing commendable , or oven satisfactory , in a larger man striking a smaller man , on the grounds of difference of opinion , or other provo cation frfr all that , as occurred , Tues day , in the election incident in which two of our young men were interested. Neither does $1.00 and costs seem to fully meet the requirements of justice in such cases. Personal violence mer its no protection or defence , at the hands of the law or the public. About the McFadden's Double Un cle Tom's Cabin , to appear at the Opera Hall , next Tuesday , Nov. 9th , the Omaha Daijy Bee says : "The best Uncle Tom show that has appeared in Omaha for years , appeared at the Opera Hon e , last evening. The com pany is McFadden's , and since its ap pearance here last year has been great ly strengthened and improved. Every feature of the performance was enjoy ed last evening , especially the singing and dancing of the little Putnam twin sistftrs , the jolly coons and the Topsies.1' In a quarrel , Monday night , in Say- lor's saloon , a young tonsorial artist , late in J. W. Smith's employ , was ter ribly beaten by a bottle in the hands of Saylor's bar-tender. A. IT. Steaduian. It is perhaps unnecessary for us to state that the barber was intoxicated. At all eventswhatever , , the provoca tion , if any existed , the young barber wa brutally injured , one of his optics be ing mashed , with prospects of losing the same , besides a deep gush in hi head and other wounds , which he wil have occasion to remember probably for the remainder of his natural days Such occurrences are among the dis tin'guishing and pleasant ( ? ) features o the saloon and the rum traffic. It com mends itself - citi toevery law-abiding zen ! Young Peoples' Association. The next meeting of the Toung Peo pies' Association will be held at the house of Mr. F. L. McCracken. A ! the organization will be completed ai that time , it is important that the at tendance be as full as possible. Al young people of the city are earnestly invited.

Neb. , Oct. : , 1SSC. This is to certify. That on the llth day of October , 18SG , I applied for insurance on my cattle and horses to the Farmers' Union Ins. . Co. of Plum Creek , Neb. , as a charter mem ber , and on the 29th of the same month , my barn and four horses were destroyed by flre. On the followingmorning , the president , C. L. Erriu , and general manager , T. J. Brown- Held , called on me and in a very gentlemanly and liberal manner , adjusted my loss to my entire satisfaction , giving me a guarantee for my money as soon as they shall receive their charter. This is a home organization , composed of honorable busincbs men well knojni throughout the state. I believe it to be our duty as farmers , to give such an in stitution our encouragement and support.

Kay has placed his accounts in the hands of the deptt- t } % who is rustling after the doctor's creditors in dead earnest , that's all. Attention Smokers ! With every 23 cents worth of goods bought at the Distribution Cigar Store , a ticket in the grand drawing is given. WELLS , the brakeman who neglected to close the switch at Rio , the conse quence of which was the terrible disas ter on the Chicago , Milwauke & St. Paul railroad , has been jailed. The feeling seems to be that the blame rests wholly on him , but as we remarked a few days ago , the apparent lack of vig ilance and attention on the part of the freight conductor renders him measur ably responsible , and it would not be in the line of strict justice to punish the subordinate and acquit the man in full charge. THE attempted assassination of Sur veyor Beattie , of New York , was simp- ly an act of revenge , and oilers no sug gestion , unless it be that all men who iiave the power to dismiss from their jmployment. are subject to the same lunger. The would-be assassin is sev- inty-two years old , and it is conceiv- iblc that the effect on his mind of the lismissal was to create a feeling of lopelessnesSj leading to despair and a letermination to be even with the man esponsible for his removal. i'PERNICIOUS activity" is the latest lemocratic disease which Doctor Cleve- and proposes to treat. There will be : ery little pernicious activity for Mr. Cleveland in some quarters when the icxt presidential canvass begins to ma- erialize. IT wasn't a clean sweep , exactlyj iut enough that way to prevent the lungry hyena of democracy from being urned loose in the republican store- lOtisc and "stuffing" insclf to death. SAM JONES says Georgia is govern- d by decent men. who were democrats efore they got religion.
