LOOK AT McCOOK , NEBRASKA.
We excerpt the following paragraph from
Frank II. Spearman's article on "The Great
American Desert" in June Harper's maga
zine : "Or look at McCook , Nebraska , one of
the newest and faithest west of all desert
towns an infant of live years , for there was
nothing but a sod house live years ago where
the town of ' ,000 people is now ; nearly five
hundred miles west of the Missouri river , in
the midst of a fertile fanning country , posses
sing everything necessary in the line of
chiu clies , schools , and social advantages to
make any one content witli a habitation in tiie
desert , and Avhose founders had confidence
enough in its future to supply it with a sys
tem of water works equal in extent to that of
Lincoln. "

tendance. There was a monster torchlight
procession. Log cabins , coons , banners ,
transparencies , etc. , were there without stint.
Stirring speeches aroused the multitude to
wildest enthusiasm. Our county-seat neigh

qualified success of the affair. The republi
cans of Southwestern Nebraska are wide
awake and will roll up an increased majority
for the gallant Men , this fall.

EXCITING AND CL OSE.
Quite a crowd braved the sweltering heat
of yesterday afternoon to witness the ball
between the "Famous" "
galne and "Arapa-
hoes. " The game was hotly contested and was
one of the most exciting and interesting ever
played on the home diamond. Moth clubs

ning to their credit , the visiting club six
scores.

Ciumsy and Ineffectual.

promptly repaired the track tampered with.

The recent arrests of Chairmen Hoge and
Murphy of the general giievance committee ,

prominent Illinois brotherhood men under
the more sennits charge of being dynamiters ,

mains to be seen.
