II. 11. Berry is moving into his new quart
ers on Main Avenue.
The demand for houses to rent is In excess
of supply , just now. And inquiries continue.
With the increase in the sprinc chicken's
size there is a corresponding decrease in
price.
Two of the new fire hydrants have already
been placed in position. The others will fol
low at once.
That was a delightfully cooling shower ,
last evening. Its shortness is the only object
ionable feature. .
It is stated , on what purports to be reliable
authority , that 100 labor votes will be polled
in this city , this fall.
If you want a really handsome door call at
Bullard's lumber yard and see his stock. He
carries a "dandy" line.
The local land ofllce has been rushed with
contest cases , this week. About 25 different
cases demanding attention.
The catalogues for the McCook public
school are in press and will be ready for dis
tribution in about two weeks.
The linn of Jay & Simpson has dissolved.
Mr. Simpson will locate in Holyoke , Colo.
Mr. Jay will continue the business here.
A partnership has been formed between C.
A.Clark and Calvin Zeigler , in the dairy bus
iness , dating from the first of this month.

ground.
In purchasing the S. H. Colvm farm , east

some , ornamental door.
Preaching , next Sunday , at the Lutheran
church , by the pastor , J. W. Kiminel. Morn

subject , "Church Union. "
The youthful eye now feasts on things im
aginary and improbable as set forth in
striking colors and heroic proportions on the
showman's posters , now ornamenting ( ? ) the
boards in this city.
The crossings , water ways , etc. , of the city
are receiving careful attention at the hands
of Marshal Paine. He is doing thorough
work and lots of it , and the streets are be
ing placed in excellent shape.
Advices from Ked Willow precinct are to
the effect that the attendance at republican
primary , Saturday , was small , only eleven
voters present , every one of them voting
for the submission of a prohibition amend
ment , to the people. Messrs. lioyal Buck and
L. C. Boot are the delegates , elect to the
county convention.
The second nine of the "Famous , " known
as the "McCooks , " had a little amusement
with the "Danbury" boys , Saturday after
noon , on the local diamond. The score was 10
to 157 in favor of the home club. The visiting
boys failed , as usual , to find Clyde's puzzling
curves , and were quite disgusted and not a
little wrathy by the time the game was finish
ed.
Both the afternoon and night performances
given last week , at the old show grounds ,
corner Wentworth avenue and Twenty-
Eighth street , by the Chicago favorites ,
Grenier Brothers' Circus and Menagerie , were
witnessed by large and enthusiastic audi
ences. The management deserves the thanks
of our people for their good judgment and
liberality. Journal.
Those who failed to see Grenier Brother's
Koyal European Circus and Menagerie miss
ed the opportunity of a life-time. It is the
best old-time one-ring performance that ever
exhibited in Chicago. It certainly is a first-
class show and the management live up to
what they advertise. Xo wonder the press
and public are so intense in their enthusiasm.
Inter Ocean.
While the hose company was engaged in
their regular practice with the cart , Tuesday
evening , on East Dennison street , one of Ea
ton & Co. 's horses became badly frightened
and tearing loose from the hitching post made
a grand break for liberty , overturning the
buggy , which was considerably damaged , but
injuring nobody. It is stated that the com
pany or city may be approached for damages.
In answer to an advertisement published
in certain milling journals , by the board of
trade , an immense number of inquiries have

Cook's prospects , her proposition , etc. A
circular has been prepared and forwarded to
those making such inquiries , setting forth
fully and concisely just what McCook will do
for tiie man or company planting a first class
milling establishment in this city.

We Will Have an Elevator.
Next week , A. J. Thompson , lately engag
ed in the Hour and feed business here , will
commence the erection of an elevator at this
point , of sufficient capacity to handle all grain
that may come his way. In the meantime he
has made arrangements whereby he is able
to take care of all grain that may be deliver
ed to him. Tills is an enterprise the city has
needed , and we are glad that it is in the hands
of so energetic a business man as A. J.
Thompson. Fair treatment is assured all
who may deal with him.
Those Proposed Bridges.
The contract for the building of two bridges
over the llepublican river , near this city , has
been let to Messrs. Bose & Co. , the well-
known bridge builders of Hastings , at 55.50
per foot. W. C. BuIIaru & Co.have ordered
the lumber , which has to be sawed special
lengths , and it will be perhaps three weeks
before the same can be delivered on the
ground. Work will then be initiated and
prosecuted vigorously until the structures
are completed.
An Exciting Runav/ay.
Early Monday morning , while yet many
citizens occupied their virtuous couches , one
of the South Side dairy teams took a morning
spin not down on the bills. At the watering
trough in the rear of Lytle's store they dash
ed into a buggy occupied by William F.
Esher , of Driftwood , an almost helpless in
valid , while going at a terrific speed ; over
turning his vehicle , with the occupant under
neath. The buggy was sadly demoralized ,
but Mr. Esher fortunately escaped with but
slight injury.
Board of Trade.
A board of trade meeting was called for
Monday evening , for the purpose of taking
some action on the matter of proposed reduc
tion in freight rates by state board ot trans
portation ; but on account of small attendance
no action was taken as a body. The special
in the Omaha Bee to the effect that McCook
board of trade had resolved against proposed
reduction is simply another "special fake. "
The action was not taken , although perhaps
such may be the feeling , when same is ex
pressed.
A Tramp Killed.
A tramp giving the name of Luther was
fatally injured , Tuesday , near Parks , Dundy
county , by falling or being thrown from a
freight train , on which , with five tramp com
panions , lie was stealing a ride. His injuries
were in the region of the stomach and he died
shortly afterwards. The coroner's inquest
exonerated the brakeman , James Rice. The
medical fraternity at Benkelman took the
body in charge for scientific purposes.
Resigned Appointed.
W. M. Anderson having resigned the secre
taryship of the McCook Co-operative Build
ing and Loan Association , the board of direc
tors on Wednesday elected E. E. Lowman
to the vacancy. His bond was duly approv
ed and the new secretary entered at ouce up
on the duties of the office. Mr. Lowman is
in all respects well qualified and will make
the association an efficient secretary.
An Excellent Specimen.
Frank Dillon ot the car repairer's force ex
hibited at this office , a few days since , an ex
cellent specimen of wheat grown on his farm
on the south divide , this season. It is of the
"Sea Island" kind , small but of fine quality.
The yield is 14 bushels per acreHis "White
Italian" wheat yielded 17) < f bushels to the
acre. He expresses entire satisfaction with
his wheat crop throughout.
The "Famous" and "Yuma" Game.
By a new arrangement the "Famous" boys
of our city will play the "Yuma" club at the
home grounds on Monday , August Gth , for
3100 a side. Both clubs are in better form
than they were July 4th , and being very close
ly matched , will play an en tensely interest
ing game , perhaps the best of the season , as
is expected by those in position to know.
McCook and Cufbertson.
The second nine of our city and the club at
Culbertson had a trial of skill , last Friday
afternoon , at the grounds of the latter , who
were ignominiously routed in a score of 4 to
15. The local club and friends made the
round trip in carriages , buggies , etc.
$100,000.00 Damages.
Mr. and Mrs. S. E.Hoge have commenced
suit against the Lincoln Daily News Co. in
an amount aggregating § 100,000.00 , for an al
leged libelous article printed in that paper ,
recently , the data therefor being vouchsafed
by Detective Pinneo.

A Plain Statement.
Indlanola Courier.
Thoro lias been 60 much said by purlieu Inter
ested , that wo deem It but fair to our reaileiH
to give them a plain statement nf tho Tacts Iu
regard to the ease tried before Judiru Cochran ,
last week. To begin with , a petition lor a sa

Glllon with tho city council : notlco was given ;
a remonstrance wns flled , showing , as wiib
thought , mi Insufficiency In tho petition in
this , tnat 30 resident freeholders or the 2nd
ward had not signed It , that a majority or the
resident freeholders of said second ward had
not signed tho petition. A tlmo for hoarlng
said application and remonstrance was set and
tho ovldenco taken. At a subsequent meeting
or the city council , tho saloon license was re
duced from fifteen hundred to live hundred
dollars at the solicitation or those Interested
In having a saloon. A voto to reject the ap
plication for a saloon lleenso by Iloycr & Gll
lon was taken and declared lost. Thereupon ,
on tho Hth day of June , a writ injunction was
sued out of tho District Court against the mem
bers or tho city council , tho mayor and clerk ,

son president , and J. II. Burge , clerk , prior to
the meeting of tho council , placed Iu nn en
velope labelled "License" by Hutchinson
and by him taken to tho council meeting.
Soon after tho opening or the council E. Boy
or appeared and paid over tho money to city
Treasurer Powell. Thereupon a motion was
made that the petition or E. Moyor and Petor
Gillen be granted and a licenso issued. Tills
carried by the following voto : Ayo , Hutchin
son , Eskey and Stolle. Nay , Gossurd. Attor
neys. It. Smith for remonstrants gave notice

Materialism in America.
I do not ask that men of wealth shall give
more money to the church , which is often
stronger when it is poor than when it is rich ;
nor to the poor and thriftless , whom unearned
money only keeps in poverty. I urge that the
power to make inoney.like any other power.is a
trust bestowed on the possessor for humanity.
The preacher who preaches for his salary , not
for the spiritual well-being ofhis parishioners ,
is a mercenary ; the physician who practices
for his fees , not to cure the sick , is a mercena
ry ; the lawyer who pleads for his honorarium ,
not for justice , is a mercenary ; the politician
who emcts laws for what he can make , not for
the community , is a mercenary ; no leS3 the
merchant , the trader , the man on "change , who
transacts his business to make money , not to
give the community its meat in due season , is
a mercenary. In tlie history of the nineteenth
century , the doctrine that wealth is a trust
must stand by the side of the doctrine that la
bor is an honor and liberty is an obedience.
The materialism that threatens the Americun
church is not the materialism of Herbert Spen
cer. It is the materialism of the railroad , the
factory , the shop ; the materialism that puts
thinghood above manhood ; that does not
know that thinps were made for man , not man
for things th-t God gives us. not Irishmen to
build our railroads , but railroads to build Irish
men ; not Hungarians to dig our mines , but
mines to develop manhooa in Hungarians.
Dr. Lyman Abbott , in the August Century.
