To every question worthy considera

The P. P. P. P. combination played to a

farm to the latter gentlemen in exchange for
three quarters on the bluffs to the south. Mr.

The devil has written the Atchison Globe a

low. The young and the old , the rich and
the poor , who live in the palace of sin , I bec-

I gather , I gather them in. The chump who
deserted the town of his birth to boom up a
town far away , who'd never invest in the
city's own earth , for fear the move wouldn't

the town , and never would squander his tin ;
as Sure as I'm living he's wandering down

S10 to Hocknell Hose Co. for a run of a given
number of yards to a lire hydrant , make
coupling and throw water , within a stated
time. The various committees represented
had very encouraging reports of progress to
offer. The celebration will be thememorablo
one in the ltepnblican valley. The races will
be first-class. The ball game absorbing.
The Calathumpians "immense. " The ora

SICK UNTO DEATH.
We are pained to learn that Charles
Wentz's twelve-year-old son is seriously ill
with inflammatory rheumatism , and that his
recovery is almost despaired of.
LATE1J DEAD.
Word reached us , Thursday morning , that
death came to the relief of theyoung suffeier ,
the preceding night , at about 10 o'clock , the
terrible disease effecting the heart with the
usual , fatal results. The funeral took place ,
Friday morning , from the German Lutheran
church on Ash creek , Rev. C. L. Orback of
this city , preaching the sermon and conduct
ing the services , which were attended by a
large and sympathetic concourse of neigh
bors and friends of the bereaved ones. The
remains were interred in the Ash creek
cemetery. Mr. Weintz and family have the
profound sympathy of all in their great sor
row and affliction.
AS TO THE GRIST MILL.
Messrs. J. S. Hatfield and O. Masters , the
gentlemen , who , in connection with A. J.
Thompson of our city , are contemplating put
ting in a grist mill at this place , were in the
city , Wednesday and Thursday , canvassing
the situation , leaving for home on Thursday.
Mr. Thompson informs us that they have
practically arrived at the determination to
build the mill provided the citizens of Mc
Cook are disposed to stand by the bonus of
fered , of which there can be no doubt. The
gentlemen at the head of this matter are not
only practical millers , one of them is head
miller for Yaeggi &Schuppach , the celebrat
ed Columbus millers , but they are careful
business men as well , and we feel confiident
that they will run a flouring mill in a first-
class manner and profitably.
A Pleasant Evening Party.
Miss Anna Forbes entertained a small
company of young people , last Friday eve
ning , in honor of her guest , Miss E. M. Mad-
docks , in a maimer altogether clever and
delightful. Croquet , that engrossing and
pleasurable outdoor sport , occupied the early
evening , progressive euchre coming in for a
full share of attention later , toothsome re
freshments filling a time-honored and always
appreciated and enjoyed nicheiin the affair.
The guests were : Miss Louie Starbuck , Miss
Ollic Hannah , Miss May Clark , Miss Maggie
McAlpine , Mr. Albert McMillen , Mr. Jack
McAlpine , Mr. Frank Vore and Mr. F. M.
Kiimnell. .
Captains of Education.
We have captains of industry and finance.
Why have we not captains of education-
men of leisure and culture , capable of en
thusiasm and initiative , ready to throw them
selves into such a cause and give it their earn
est consideration , their generous and active
support ! Among the Greeks , Plato , Socrates
and Epictetus were the teachers. Where
shall we look for our great leaders , masters ,
patrons , even , who will see education in its
true light , and force us to recognize teaching
as one of the grandest of the arts the art of
arts , for it goes to the building up of the art
ist himself , and of even nobler types of hu
manity ? The Century for June , Open
Letters.
Nebraska Chauiauqua Assembly.
Mr. Frank E. Hartigan was in the city , the
close of last wek , billing the municipality
in the interests of the Nebraska Chautauqua
Assembly at Crete , whose meetings , this
year , open on the2Sth of June and close July
10th. The features of attraction and interest
are greater and more numerous than ever be
fore and every Nebraskan who can afford
the luxury , and has the leisure should make
it a point tb spend some time at the Assembly ,
this year.
PUPIL PICNICERS.
The pupils of the high school , and a few
invited friends , indulged in the pure delights
of a basket picnic on Brush creek , last Sat
urday , enjoying to satiety the pure air and
freedom of that sylvan retreat. Miss M. E.
McKee chaperoned the merryparty. . They
returned to the city in good time to avoid the
heavy shower which prevailed later in the
evening.
ON A STILL HUNT.
Hon. Sterling P. Hart of the U. S. Land
Office is on a still hunt very for the indi
vidual who sprung that anti-Cleveland tele
gram cod on him , Tuesday evening. The

wonted composure yet. It is not thought
that Charlie Davis is the author , however.

GOODWIX STARBUCK At residence of
bride's parents , in this city , Sunday , June
3,1SSS , Mr. George Goodwin and Miss lna
Starbuck. both of this city , Itev. Joel S.
Kelsey officiating.
The groom is employed in the B. & M.
shops at this place and is a young man of
steady habits , and sterling worth. The bride
is the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. M. Y.
Starbuck and highly esteemed by a large
circle of friends. A number of beautiful
presents were received. Tiik Timbuxe
voices the sentiments of all in extending con
gratulations and very best wishes to the
young people who have just entered upon
this new and tender relation.
The driver of the street sprinkler , Henry
Busey , experienced a narrow escape from
serious injury , Friday morning. While tak
ing water at the hydrant opposite the Mc-
Entee , a barrel in front of Lawler's store
was taken up by the high wind and rolled
under the spirited team of mules attached to
the sprinkler. The long-eared quadrupeds
made a most determined move for liberty ,
and certainly would have made things hum
but for the nerve and determination of their
driver , who finally stopped them after th e
wagon had been overturned and the reach
broken.
Elsewhere appears the notice of the Water
Works Co. restricting the use of water on
lawns to from 5 to 7 , M. T. , morning and
evening. It will perhaps be possible for the
present tb allow an hour or so longer than
the time above stated. When such is the
case , the whistle at the pump house will blow
accordingly. A faithful observance of the
rule is requested.
Tiik McCook Tribuxe has just entered
upon its seventh year , and is our ideal of a
first-class journal. Mr. Kimmell has a cult
ured vocabulary , and his diction is elegant.
He ranks high in the state as a successful
journalist. We wish him the success in the
future that he has richly enjoyed in the past.

eyed snake owl of benign aspect perched on

of possessing "just such a love of an owl , "
She alighted from the buggy and armed with
tho hip robe approached the "blind side" of
his owlship , with step stealthy and on tip-toe
or expectancy. Just at the grand culmina
tion when she essayed to enfold the bird in
her robe , it wluked wisely and gracefully
soared away , and a taxidermist is out a job.

MURDER ATJULBERTS0N.
Our neighboring town of Culbertson was
thrown into nn intense state of excitement , {
Tuesday evening of thU week , by tho fatal }
shooting of Harry B. Hull by John B. Hunter. | M
The trouble appears to have grown out of the r H
fact that G. V. Hunter's mule trespassed on
Hull's farm and hud been taken up and held
for the damage caused. That the old man
made an attack on Hull in a billiard hall , and
was struck by Hull witli a cue. That the
young man then appeared on the scene and A
shot Hull twice with instantly fatal results. \
A neck-tie party was strongly threatened , but I
seems to have fallen through for hick of a M
leader. Young Hunter was taken to Lincoln ,
Wednesday night , for safe keeping. H
