Here is a receipt for preserving ice
in a pitcher of water. - Fill the pitch-
er with ice and water and set it on
the senter of a piece of paper ; then
gather the paper up together at the
top and place the ends tightly togeth
er , placing a strong rubber band around
the air. A pitcher of ice water treated
inthis manner has been known to
stand over night with scarcely a par
ticle melting of the ice.

There will be no preaching service at

A heavy rain prevailed in this section ,
Sunday night , being accompanied by the

ing no damage.

There was qui te a serious freight wreck
on the West end , Thursday morning.
Two tramps are reported killed. Thir
teen cars were badly damaged.
That the small grain is not a complete
failure by any means is practically dem
onstrated by the samples of rye and oats
left at this office , Saturday , by Andrew
Carson , whose farm is located a few
miles west of the city and on the south
side of the Republican.
_
All uncertainty and fear.of failure is
removed by irrigation. The husband-
man knows that his labors will be re-
warded by bountiful yields beyond a per-
adventure. One acre under a ditch is
worth ten acres not so located , and in
any country. Talk up irrigation.
The residence of Supt. Meeker of the
city water works was the scene of some
startling electrical effects , Sunday nighl ,
during the rain storm. The programme
was rather dazzling for a few seconds ,
but the damage is nominal ; the appli-
ances with which the house is provided
carrying ! off the dangerous element in
safety.
Workmen commenced this week , the
job of cleaning and pointing the stone
front of the Phillips-Meeker building ,
The ' Colorado red stone is thoroughly
washed with an acid , a wire brush be-
ing j used in the work , after which a red
colored , mortar , composed of a large ad-
mixture i of Portland cement , is utilized
in ' the pointing process. A marked mii
provement ] is already noticeable.
The family of M. Y. Starbuck were

was called in and succeeded in relieving
the I distressed , all of whom , ( exceptMrs.
Starbuck ; , who still suffers some from
the , effects of the poison , ) are about as
usual , at this writing. All agree that
the , experience was as disagreeable as
dangerous ' , and none are ambitious to
repeat ] it.

Judge Cochran is being assailed by
several papers of the district upon sevJ
eral grounds. The Hitchcock Repub
lican 1 quotes him as saying that he
would do all he could to acquit men ar
rested i for selling mortgaged property ,
simply ' because the law did not meet
his 1 approval. The Republican was never
more ] mistaken than in this instance.
Judge Cochran stated atStockville that
he | would not sentence a man formoving
mortgaged : property from one county to
another without every doubt was remov1
ed ( as to the man's intention to defrauds
The mere fact of the removal of morti
gaged i property from one county to ani
other ' or one state to another does not
prove fraudulent intent. The Farmer
believes Judge Cochran is right ; at least
that is the humanity side of the case ,
If a mortgagor were always compelled <
to stay where the mortgage is filed , it :
would be an impossibility for him to ]
meet die obligation. We shall ever bei i
lieve every court a pure aud impartial <
one \ until absolute and immutable proof :
of ( . its guilt is established. When coni
: fidence in the judiciary of the country is
lost , every hope for the republic is dead.
Men may speculate and scheme in oth
; er branches of the government , but the '
benches of justice must be pure. Men i
may : do bad acts in all other departments i
and the country and its citizens will
suffer temporarily only as the effects up
on governmental affairs would be tran
sient , hut let the judiciary for a single
hour depart from the path of disinterest
ed , impartial justice , then the social and
political structure of the people and the
government is crumbled to the founda
tion. Stockville Farmer.

, Red Willow County Teachers' Institute
McCook , Auo. 11-23,1890.
To the teachers : I have the pleas
ure of announcing our Tenth Annual
Institute. Instructors who are special-
ists i in their Beveral departments have
been ! engaged and with your hearty co
operation < , I believe it will be a meeting
of ( marked interest and profit. Be
promptly , on hand at nine o'clock , Mon
day , morning practicing the punctuality
we preach. Mrs. Tucker of Lincoln , a
lady J ofwideexperiencein Normal schools
and ! institutes , will give instructions in
drawing ' and in primary studies and
methods. i It is gratifying to note the
improvement i all along the line of our
county i schools ; a gain which may be a
stepping i stone to something better.
Believing the work of the Institute to
be j the most important factor in the bet1
tering | of our schools , all persons who
intend to teach will be required to attend
the ( full time. Certificates will not be
granted j to those who unexcused by the
superintendent i absent themselves from
any ; part of the session. School boards
have 1 learned that the teachers who at-
, tend Institutes are the ones they wish.
There is a growing demand for those
who are advancing in scholarship and
in ] the art of teaching. Those who are
growing up into better places will reach
them. i Let us "conspire with the near
works of the new days" and engage with
zeal : and enthusiasm in the work of self
culture. ( All teachers wishing me to
engage board for them should write me
notlater than July 16th. Examinations
August 16 and 23.
Cordially yours ,

A GALA DAY !
A Large and Juicy Time for the Mul
titudes Who Celebrated
With Us.
There is a general feeling of satisfac
tion i over thesplendidsuccessof the cel
ebration , at this place. The weather
was favorable , the preparations complete ,
the crowd numerous and everybody com
fortable : and happy. The exercises
opened , auspiciously with a parade in
which the business , civic societies , fire
department , , etc. , were well represented.
The i procession wound up at the grand
stand , where the multitudes had the
pleasure ' of listening to an eloquent ad-
dress from the lips of Senator Nesbitt
of North Platte. In the afternoon , the
amusement box was opened. Then fol
lowed foot races , bicycling , catching the
greased ' pig , climbing the greased pole ,
etc. , all in one continuous round of
pleasure. All the while the alluring
voice * of the "red lemo. " man was heard
in j the land and cat-gut and horse-hair
invited j the votaries of "Terp. " to the
West Dennison shrine. The fire-works
at j night was a charming scene , a fit-
ting j climax to a notable day , so replete
with the elements of joyousness. Peace
and j harmony reigned. The various feat-
ures i of the day's programme passed off
smoothly and everything was lovely and
propitious. ]
Look the Matter Up.
, C. 11. Brock , a member of the Eighth
Iowacavalry , in rummaging through the
old . records of Marshall county , Iowa ,
last . week , discovered among the proceed-
ings of the board of supervisors in 1863 ,
j
that on December 7 of that year , itpass-
ed a resolution granting $150 to every
man who should enlist after that date.
,
In January following the board passed
another resolution and granted the
aforesaid bodnty to all who had entered
before | or should enlist after that date ,
due in $50 annual payments , with 6 per
cent , interest on unpaid amounts. Brock
accordingly has filed a claim amounting
to i over $600. He further discovered
that j it would take $60,000 to pay the
claims ( to which the soldiers enlisting in
Marshall ] county are entitled. The on-
ly 1 thing that can prevent the collection
of ( these claims is the statute of limita-
tion < , which it is said , does not apply to
government j debts to its defenders. It
might ] be well enough for the "boys" to
look ] up the official records of the coun
ties * where they enlisted and see if there
are not more of the Marshall kind.
Its Legal Status.
The address by Hon. J. B. Cessna
of Hastings , Neb. , at the opera hall ,
Monday evening , was an able presenta
tion f of the legal right of prohibition ,
and of our duty in the premises. A
large 1 and intelligent audience gave the
Judge wrapt attention during the hour
and a half required in the delivery of
the 1 lecture ; evincing marked interest in
the 1 important topic handled and keen
appreciation i of the masterful manner
in i which it was discussed. The legal |
aspect of the problem was reviewed at
great length , and its status in law was
very conclusively determined. The
number i in attendance , and the deep con
cern manifested , indicate an awakening
among the people , a quickening of the
public pulse , and a gradual growth of
favorable sentiment , which we hope may
continue until the end of the campaign ,
and result in swelling # the vote for the
amendment.

Grant precinct appears to be alert on the
issues i of the government but there is one
problem that gets them , how the removal of
the \ county seat will damage indiauola 40 per
cent and benefit the McCook surroundings
only 10 per cent.
