Lacking a quorum , no council meet j ing was held , last night. ' j j A patent has been granted Peter Pen- , ner of our city for a harness check-hook. The Christian \ , 'iew makes its appear ance , to-day , of necessity a little tardy. Speaking of high kickers , the gray [ i mare in the street sprinkler is a star explorer. • • Three teams will represent the city of Hastings in the Western state shoot at this place , June 7-11. . For her age , McCook is a hummer. She is constantly taking the biscuit and reaching out for the tray. The swimming season is near at hand and undressed kids will shortly be too common to be fashionable. Complaint against the gambling den on West Dennison street is heard in the land. Clean the rascals out. The new cigar manufactory and retail tobacco store of J. II. Oswalt , in the Bede building on South Main , is in op eration. Both brick yards are under full head way making and burning brick for the building boom expected this summer and fall. The W. C. T. U. of the city will meet at the home of Mrs. Frank Harris on North Main Avenue , Saturday afternoon next , at 2:30. : The household goods of Geo. Hock- nell were packed and shipped , the first of ' the week , to Colton , Cal. Joe Miller did ' the packing. The first of theveekR. . H. Williams made the first shipment of ice , this sea son , , namely , one car-load to H , Williams at Akron , Colo. Coyotes are reported as doing damage among : barn-yard pheasants in South McCook. The number of legs per coy ote i is not given. "Some say" and "others say , " but R. H. Williams is holding the Chief of Policeship down in fine form notwith standing "people will talk. " It is about time for the office seeker to . institute those osculatory proceedings in which the younger portion of the community ( are most involved. An enterprising citizen of a scientific turn of mind has ascertained that there are ' 370,000 bacteria in a drop of city water. He uses well water , however. A generous space is occupied in this issue ; of The Tribune by J. F. Gan- schow ' with a communication under the style of "boots and shoes. " Just note his bargain list. Passenger No. 2 , Tuesday morning , carried ( four extra coaches of tourists re turning from an excursion to California. With twelve cars she presented a metro politan ] aspect indeed. No fire and brimstone for the present. It ; has been demonstrated that there is at least one business man in the corpor ation who can repeat the Lord's prayer verbatim et literatim. We refer by per mission ] to C. T. B. Any business man who will take the time to consider the matter will come to the conclusion most certainly that the proposed bridges will result most ad vantageously to their trade in an in crease ' not inconsiderable. The coming shootimr tournament for June 7-11 , in this city , is attracting considerable i attention , in the way of practice and preparation for the event. , The local team is regarded as able to cope with any and all comers. Good well-worked roads and , an ac commodating i number of bridges have much to do with the country trade of a town. Our merchants have the goods. The ' next thing in order is the provision of facilities for fretting into town. It is rumored that the B. & M. con templates the erection of a frieght house at this place. Their present facilities are ; entirely inadequate to the business transacted. We hope the report may bloom into a commodious building. A fine boy baby assumed the dictator ship of the Kenyon household , last Friday night. Mother and child doing nicely. The councilman is expected to recover , although grievously afflicted with a generous dose of joyous delight. The tin-horn gamblers and dissolute females of the city were arrested and fined , the close of last week. The dose can be repeated frequently with good effect the weeding out of a large num ber of the disreputables. The net might be enlarged. BBWWfjPfWME r SMftfcaiMJMtaMttgaM S RsS i - " The Ladies' Aid Society of the M.E. church will give a social at the home of II. H. Berry , Thursday evening , May 10. Refreshments will be served and a gen eral good time is anticipated. Every body cordially invited. The city will display wisdom in ac cepting the railroad company's proposi tion on the sewer question. We are assured that in case of the city's failure , a private company will accept the same. It is obviously advantageous to the city. The assessment for school purposes will not be made until some time in June. The present prospects are that a levy of 15 or 20 mills will be necessary. The matter of providing a sinking fund for future liquidation of existing school bonds will also absorb some attention , in addition to usual annual interests thereon. The regular meeting of the Y. P. A. , the same being the semi-annual meeting of the association as well , at which time the election of officers and other import ant business will come up for disposal , will be held at the residence of L. Low- man on North Madison Avenue , to morrow evening. A general invitation is extended. Last Saturday evening , William Ham ilton , the Carrico well digger , completed a well for G. W. Minkler on the hitter's property north of the public school block. An abundant supply was had at a depth ofS5 feet. During the latter part of the digging some peculiar netn- factions were unearthed , specimens of which this office is under obligations to Mr. Hamilton for. The cost of the well is less than $50. The matter of voting bonds for bridges east and west of the present structure really deserves consideration. That the building of the same will increase the trade from the localities they are intend ed to accommodate is acknowledged. The burden upon the precints , the ad vantages being taken into the account , will be exceedingly light. Our business men might bestir themselves in this be half with profit. Agitate the projects. Even railroad life has its amusing features : A few days since , a west end section hand , learning that his head would shortly adorn the official waste basket , conveyed , per telegram , his "resignation" to headquarters. The same was duly appreciated in the follow- lowing terse language : "Your resigna tion not accepted. You are hereby dis charged. " And the "resigner" was promptly black listed. The moral or deduction is obvious. % We desire to attract the attention of the members of Ilocknell Hose Co. to the call for a meeting of the company , Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock , mountain time , and to impress upon them the importance of turning out in force in response thereto. The hose has not been inspected in months , and it is desirable to know whether or not , in case of fire , the same can be depended upon. Every member of the organiza tion should devote an hour , Friday after noon , to inspection and practice. It is contemplated the erection of a two-room school house , in the eastern part of the city , the same to be complet ed in season for the fall term of school , and the consequent vacation of the Main Avenue building at the expiration of the present term. This will add another teacher to the corps of instructors in our cit } ' schools , and will increase the running expenses of the same. The prospects arc that our board of educa tion will not have any great surplus of shekels to dispense , this year , even with a goodly levy. "They say" that the redoubtable Judge William Gaslin is now a genuine anti-monopolist , which is explained on this wise : It appears that the Judge recently purposed in his heart to go to Benkelman , buying a ticket which he supposed would take him to the desired destination. It further appears , how ever , that the ticket agent blunderingly gave the Judge a ticket to Orleans in stead. Upon , the Judge's arrival at Oxford , he resting under the firm im pression of having paid his fare to Ben kelman , and vociferously objecting to double payment as a matter of equity , was summaril } * bounced , much to his disgust and wrath. The Judge may only be "codded" on this subject at a safe distance. HOCKNELL HOSE CO. The members of Hocknell Hose Co. are requested to meet at the ho , e house , to-morrow ( Friday ) afternoon , at 4 o'clock , M.T. , for the purpose of a short practice. All members are urgently requested to be present. By order of R. B. Archibald , Chief. F. 31. Kudiell , Sec'y.
