We learn that Supt. Meeker of the watc :
works is preparing plans and making esti
mates on a two-ntory brick that thccoinpanj
is expecting to build on lot 5 , block 10 , Mail
Avenue , this fall.
Two old soldiers and their families tool
refuge in the Ilealy store building , Saturday
night , during the storm. They were on theii
way to their home , north of McCook , fron
the reunion at Iloldrege. Cambridge Kalei

Col. Jl. G. Ingersoil says : "The farmei
who raises wheat is always poor because Ik
only gets one profit and that is generally i
loss. The farmer who raises wheat and beei
and horses makes a second or a third profii
aud gets rich. "
Honest criticisms for a good purpose , maj
sometimes be quite proper ; but virulentcrit
icisms for an evil purpose are always out ol
order , and he who perpetrates such an oifensc
should be quietly rolled under the jugger
naut of public indignation.
If the precedent established by Squire Hul
bind , Wednesday morning , were followed ,
there would be less assaults in this city ,
where from one to five dollars and costs has
been the usual expense of thumping a "small
er man , " a mere bagatelle.
The Union Labor people are arranging to
make a complete canvass of the county , bul
with faint hopes of increasing their voting
strength over that polled , last year. In other
words everything indicates that this is a re
publican year m old lied Willow.
McCook and Southwestern Xebraska re
ceived merited recognition at the hands of
the republican state convention in the elec
tion J. Byron Jennings as one of the state
central committee. Mr. Jennings will make
an active and efficient member of committee.
Your attention is directed to the advertise
ment of Messrs. Wilcox & Fowler , the pop
ular West Dennison street merchants , which
appears in this issue. They have just plac
ed upon their shelves an immense and com
plete and handsome line of goods for the fall
mid winter trade , which they are offering at
lowest figures. Call and inspect their stock.
Of course the way of the woild is not to be
too severely criticized , for humanity , in the
exercise its abundant will power , follows the
[ ixed laws of its being , and we are not quite
wise enough to see the final outcome of it all.
A condition we severely execrate to-day , may ,
in the economy of the universe , result in
greater good than any mortal could have
Ireained of.
Occasionally Bill Nye drops into a caustic
bit of philosophy , as when he says : "The
racing-around-running-about and never stay-
it-home woman is more foolish than the
.joose , as uncertain as the wind , and general
ly a discontented and unhappy being , having
io self-poise and contributing to the unrest
> f all about her being a bore to herself and
i regular nuisance to everybody else. "
We understand that George Hocknell will
jommence to improve the block recently pur
chased in the northwestern part of the city as
ioon as the wati-r service is extended to the
same. In the springtime he contemplates
he erection of a lesidence that will , for ele
gance and convenience , exceed any in West
ern Nebraska. Supt. Campbell , Thos. Golfer
ind Holmes Blair also own property in the
same locality.
The boys at the depot and a nine composed
) f business men and clerks crossed willows
) ii the diamond , last Fiiday afternoon , the
tormer being vanquished in a score of 22 to 15 ,
Jiegame being called attheendoftheseventh
lining. The game was interesting and not
entirely devoid of science ; and was witness
ed by a considerable audience. Noble ' s bat-
Jug was the feature. Charlie probably dis
placed more atmosphere than any member
> f lhe "Dukes , " but failed to find the ball for
t single run. Lownian fairly put whiskers
in the sphere , but was unfortunate in his
ia.se running. Harper and Burnhaiu of the
lepot boys did good work in the battery.
Both will make gilt-edged players with prac-
ice.
ice.An
An exchange feels called upon to make the
following pertinent observations on a not un
common occurrence : "We have Heard of
nauy mean men. There is the man who us
ed the wart on the back of his neck for a
collar button , and one who pastured a goat
in his grandmother's grave : the one who
itole coppers from a dead nigger ' s eyes , the
> ne who got rich by giving his five children a
lickel each to go to bed without their supper ,
md then stealing the nickels after the child-
• en weie asleep but for pure downright
eussediiess the man who will take a paper
, wo "years , mark it "refused" aud then stick
t back in the post office , is entitled to first
iremium. "
What miserable journalism it is for news
papers to lie about and belittle the public
neetings of the opposite party. Yet that is
, vliat they are continually doing. The Ke-
uiblican organ says the democratic meeting
vas a failure , no attendance and but little
enthusiasm ; and the Democratic organ says
he Republican gathering was a miserable li-
isco. Now in point of fact the meetings
night have been entirely satisfactory and suf-
iciently large on both sides but the organ
lewspaper seems to think in such cases its
nission is to misrepresent. The idea is a mis
taken one and should be abandoned. Accu-
• acy should be as strictly observed in report-
ng political meetings as in giving the news
if any othel event. "Tell the truth. "
The union labor friends had a little blow-
nit at the dancing pavilion , Tuesday evening
vliich connut be described as a muring sac-
: ess all around. Messrs. A. M. Tea I , Sidney

A Very Creditable Entertainment.
The Opera House was well filled , Instevei
lug , ttiion the occasion of the tumbourhi
drill aud musical entertainment given by tl
ladies of the Congregational geometrical s <
ciety of the city. The opening glee by chort
of little children was received with many e' '
ideuces of approbation. The little ones at
quitted themselves handsomely. Master J u
Kay's "First Breeches" called forth nine
merriment and applause. Misses May Clar
aud Helen Davis executed their piano due
"On the Itaco Course , " with cousiderah
skill and credit. The Anthrophoiie was
new feature and called down the house wit
continued applause. It was both unique an
amusing. The tableau , "The Ten Virgins ,
was a truly beautiful thing , and was tho :
oughly appreciated. Miss Lena Coy's reciti
Hon , "The Bell of Atri , " was well renderet
The vocal solo by Mrs. Joel S. Kelsey n
ceived merited and hearty encoring. SI
has a voice of unusual sweetness , force an
compass , well cultivated ; and her singing i
always effective and pleasing. The tambou
ine drill was a superb feature of the cute
taiument. The sixteen young misses wen
tastefully and beautifully arrayed and th
maneuvers were executed with promptnes
and precision , forming withafa charmin
" Countess" Miss Mati
sight. The "Gypsy by
Knights and Mr. J. F. Foruts was rouudl ,
applauded. Mr. Wilkinson's recitation wa
most excellent in its rendition. His res pons
to prolonged applause , being of the luiino :
ous kind , was equally well giVcn and heart
ly enjoyed. Mr. Wilkinson is an artist. Th
"Magic Seven" produced merriment in abui
dance. "She Wanted to be a Mason" wn
recited by Norma Noble with remarkable ei
feet for one of her years. Mrs. II. C. Day1
solo , "Beautiful Bird Sing On , " was rendere
in an artistic manner aud elicited enthusia ;
tic encores. Mrs. Day lias a powerful , wel
modulated , cultured voice , and her vocal el
forts were fully appreciated. The final tat
leau , "Ave Santissinia , " was produced wit
excellent eitect , and fittingly closed a ver.
meritorious and creditable entertainment
The ladies are to be congratulated upon it
success.

Excellent Broom Corn.
Capt. A. T. King left a superb specimen ol
nooni corn at this office , Tuesday morning ,
: t was grown on the Captain's farm a few
niles north of McCook , in 4-29 , stands ovei
welve feet in height , and has a fine , strong
'brush. ' ' He has thirty acres of the sanu
Hud , not quite so high , but of equally excel
ent "brush. " He reports over ! 500 acres ol
iroom corn of that quality in his neighbor
lood , Messrs. Henderson , Johnson , Hanlein
smith , Brown , Modrell and others each hav-
ng a fine prospect. Broom corn is perhaps
he best paying crop that can be raised it
his country. There is always a demand al
jood prices , and we rejoice to hear that these
centlemen bid fair to reap a rich reward foi
heir labor.
